OFFICIAL CALL FOR A STATU CONVIO

Koomi Kiri-fiui, ~>- Statk CK.vru.u. Committee 1
Or the BErnii.ie*,- Pauti op Viriimi, [
Richmond. August lit, IS7I. ;
P A, Me I'„tVi-A tf Virginia :
At a meeting of the Committee, held in tills
city on the Isth instant, it was—
Kesolre.l, That Ihe Republican voter* of Vir
ginia be assembled in delegated Convention, in
the city of Richmond, on Wednesday, the a7tl,
.lay of September, nt la o'clock M. And il was
further ordered, that the Convention consist of '
~ne hundred aud thirty-eight members, lo lie ni>
-1 Hu-tioned among the "counties, according to the'
apportionment of Ihe House of Delegates of the
New Constitution. The delegate, iv every in
stance, must be .-, resident of the Legislative Dis
trict which he claims to represent. This rule is
also applicable to Proxies and Alternates.
Immediately tiiHin receipt hereof, Chairmen—
or, la their absence, the Secretaries—of county
ttinimittees will forthwith assemble their com
mittee, and take such steps as will ensure a full
representation to the Convention. Where no or
gauixatton exist *, Republican* will confer togeth
er, and iiixni prt»i»er notice call a meeting of th«
people at a convenient lime anil place, for the
purpose of selecting the number of delegates to
which the county may be entitled. We recom
mend that the credentials of delegates, in en-rv
instance, be signed hy the Chairman and Secre
inry of the convention or meeting at which they
are selected.
We would urge that prompt anil elllcient action
be taken to secure a full representation from eve
ry portion of the state.
By order of the Committee :
11. H. WELLS, Chairman.
Sam'i. F. Maddox, Secretary.
Desiring that the official notification
should first be published in our columns,
we have purposely delayed comment upon
the Republican convention, which the State
Central committee, on the loth instant, de
cided to call ; the place of meeting to be
Richmond, the time 12 o'clock noon, 27th
of September next. It is not usual to hold
State conventions, unless preceding election
of Slate officers, or when parties adopt a
new platform of principles ; but the excep
tional condition of affairs in Virginia, with
a reactionary opposition, so violent and
bitter as to press home to us the fact that
ire arc in a, state of war in a lime of peace,
renders the call for a convention appropri
ate if not necessary, so lhat wise, harmo
nious and effective plans may be laid for the
November campaign, and able, efficient,
earnest men entrusted with the execution
of those plans in detail.
The Democratic convention, to meet at
Kichmond, on the 80thof August, is a par
ty necessity with them. Walker conserva
tism has been stripped of its stolen plu
mage, and, having accomplished its hired
task of fraud, placing Virginia under Dem
ocratic auspices, now boldly affiliates with
Democracy in its reactionary measures, and
is loudest in its revolutionary threats. The
success which crowned the deception prac
ticed in Virginia, under the name of W'al
kerism, has induced some of the Demo
cratic leaders at the North to "assume a
But, although it is abundantly demon
strated, that the professions of willingness
to recognize the validity of the thirteenth,
fourteenth and lifteenth amendments to the
constitution of tho United States, are a.
corruptly false and hollow as Dead sea ap
ples, there arj many Democrats who think
they have the game in their own hands, and
can soon expunge these, to them, obnoxious
amendments, exclaiming "No surrender!"
in something of the spirit described by the
" Let wealth and commerce, art antl learnim:
die;
But leave us still our old nobility."
This class of Democrats declare the "New
Departure" an unclean thing; and it is
necessary the plotters meet in convention,
and adopt, or skillfully dodge, the Ohio
Republicans carry no " banner with a
strange device," but the " old flag," battle
stained it is true, but with no star or stripe
missing; and for the first time in our history
fulfilling the prophetic apostrophe:—
"Antl ihe star spangled banner in triumph
shall wave.
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the
brave."
The Union is saved ; slavery is dead ; hul
the labors of Republicanism are not ended.
The raging tide of rebellion has been driven
back, but an impregnable breakwater must
be constructed, and carried to such eleva
tion that it may bid defiance to any future
surge of threatening rebellion. " Hitherto
shalt thou come, but no farther."
In this country, law is the moral break
water between order and disorder. Con
gress, as the law-making power, has by
"appropriate legislation" doi.e ils part to
erect tlie needed barrier, and the President,
by virtue of his office, and his pledges to
the people, is constituted the guard, to pro
tect from hostile attacks, those engaged in
the labor of laying up, course by course,
the material furnished by Congress for the
'•instruction of the great work. And lur
ther, knowing that the future safety of all
our hard .-ariied, dearly bought, and trea
sured gains depends upon this moral break
ival.-i- proving impregnable; it is our duty—
a, indeed it is the duty of tlie __m_l__
citizen, to see that no mine is placed, or
driven under it, to bo exploded at the
first opportunity ; or defective material in
serted by those, who, while apparently
laboring for its completion, sound and
strong, are really laboring for its destruc
tion, si.e.-'lih' anil absolute
s VHH^
are earnestly laboring for this ''security in
the future," which wo are willing to accept
a., the magnanimous acknowledgment in
full of "indemnity for the past." To cheer
the hearts and strengtlien tlie hands of our
!n.mis and co-workers,' two things are ue
ary for us to do ourselves—be harmo
oions, and, being harmonious, efteelive. —
The Republican party is not composed of
angelic hut human beings ; and in no otln-i
political party is the old adage more tho
roughly exemplified, "Many men, many
inindfl," when agitating questions of party
111* tan.
Tin- ],arlv si.rriiii.fronii.U-as ; Uio full and
free interchange of iik*.s brought strong
<: .mictions ; and those convictions crystal
ized into dotils of high uuil noble during ;
while our platform of principled a____n_M
simply n confession of faith in those con
victions, and assertion of devotion, through
evil report and good report, to the cause of
civil, religious and political liberty, c.|oal
rights of all men before the laws, knowing
no taste, no creed, no color.
As is invariably the case with a party
like Republicans, composed of men acting
from principle, rather than policy ; its lead
ers need use the bit, more than the spur ;
sage suggestion, more than enthusing elo
quence.
The convention lo meet on the 27th of
September should be a council of war,
M—herthan a call to arms, and as we shall,
when it assembles, be on the eve of a po
litical battle, upon the results of which
hang issues of gravest import, it is vitally
■input-riant that if some brigade, or regimen
tal commanders, come to that council—as
good mm sometimes, and bail men often do
—pre-determined on some particular line of
attack, (political,) or tliat the command shall
bo assigned to some particular favorite ; and
failing in their cherished purpose, refuse to
perform their allotted part in the scheme
adopted, the people should summarily pass
upon them the sentence—
11,-n, ,-l'tirlh be never otlicer of in hie."
Being harmonious, the convention will
not fulfill its purpose, if it is not also ef
fective; and its effectiveness will be mea
sured by the intelligence and earnestness of
the individual memlrcrs.
We, therefore, urge upon our friends in
the different counties, the importance of se
lecting, as delegates, men who will honestly
reflect the sentiments and wishes of their
constituents. Their duties will be two
fold—(o present their own views, and
weigh the views of others ; antl this in a
spirit of liberality and concession, not
narrow-mindedness and obstinacy. The
questions presented may be of a character
not anticipated, and with which members
are not familiar; yet the decision of (he
convention upon them may be of the high
est import. Nothing tends so surely to
righ tconcliisions, as full and free interchange
of ideas; and nothing tends so much to
prevent free interchange of ideas, as windy,
wordy speakers, monopolizing the time of
the convention.
The duty of the hour is plainly and im
plieitivcly WORK, not words ; and we feel
confident that delegates will he selected
who will see to it that the convention, iv
this regard, sets an example which will be
patterned after wilh profit, in every town
ship throughout the Common wealth. We
refrain from discussion of questions, some
of which certainly, and others probably,
will be brought before the convention ; and
for this reason, we desire the delegates from
a distance should come representing the
ideas and wishes of their people, aud not
rellecting our opinions, or prejudiced against
those opinions without discussion.
AYe are all agreed oil fundamental princi
ples of Republicanism. It is not to such
our preceding allusion is made. These fun
damental principles the State Journal,
will continue to announce and advocate,
believing they are not only just, but neces
sary for tho preservation of our liberties,
and the existence of our country.
We await the meeting of the convention,
on the '-'7th of September, in entire confi
dence, that its deliberations will result in
giving to Republicanism in Virgininia in
creased strength and influence ; and prepar
ing us for such energetic action in Novem
ber as will " command success," and re
trieve the treacheries of the last State
election.
Thei _ is now no middle ground for timid
wavcrers antl wily tricksters. Republi
canism or Democracy is the sole issue, and
if Republicans act in harmonious earnest
ness, they can throw olf the yoke which
Democracy has* fastened upon them, antl
repeal or amend the partisan legislation o*
the last (ieneral Assembly.
THE SOCIAL i:vil*.
The article which we publish t.,-.lay from
the Washington Chronicle will startle many
of our readers, as it has already the Wash
ington public.
The plucky editor was in no manner re
strained from doing his duty by fear of
osing favor with that portion of the public
whose affectation of virtue and fastidious
ness is always in proportion to their real
aek of purity. The event has proved a
•reat success, and reflects honor upon inde
icndent journalism. We congratulate our
friend, that his brave blow in a noble cang_
has bct-n worthily given and deeply felt.

band. Soon after ,)„. |,j ; ,i conunciiced,the beam
ol tin- Dixie right-hand broke In two and was laid
aside, the contest being narrowed to ihe Walt left
