How. important it is then to begin well. Let every conservative who can render service bo at the meeting Vondav night. It need not be expec ted that every one will get his first choice of candidates for the ticket. But wo can put out a ticket that we can afford to support, and every vote should then be given for tho same ticket. If men will notittend a con vention to nominato a ticket they cannot honoraDIy afterwards oppose) what was adopted in their willful ab sence by their fi ierrds, neighbors and party friends. Wc see there is great; inlerest manifested in this election as there should be. Then come out and help us and enable us to help you.

Hero, one party consists -of negroes, scalawags, carpet-bagger?, released convicts, sev eral deep colored "Briudle' tails," out laws, and a fw misguided but plain and well-meaning men. The other or Conservative paity consists of the great working people, the! intelligent and substantial citizens, some honest liberal men who were once Republi cans, also some worthy colored men, and here anil there a few pale "JJrin-dle-tails,-"- who pans iu and out between meals under: disguise.' If the Co'nci values hold their for mer vote in these eastern counties generally, it is as well as we can expect. As to the men to be nominated at Creeusboro'l wo havo said but little.
