The Conservatives stand forth the advo-
Gates Of system, which shall as speedily as
practicable, consistently with the great inte-
rests of the nation, bring its revenues down
to as nearan approximation to its wants as shall
be required to conduct the affairs of the Fee
deral Government.
The Conservatives are not the advocates of
"upion between Bank and State" las has
been, by peryersion, represented.) They are
the advocates, for the employment OF State
Banks, as the mere agents of the Treasury
Department, TO collect and keep the public
moneys until called for and to be the instru-
ments of that Department, through the power
which that agency gives them, under its SUI
pervision, to control the currency and regulate
the exchanges throughout the Union The
Banks selected should be confined to the low
est number practicable to accomplish those
purposes, las the Conservatives contend) and
should be selected from the most safe and best
conducted ones where called for, with no other
objects in view, than those above stated.
They advocate these principles, because they
think they constitute the most safe, equitable
and economical mode, by which the revenues
can be collected, held, and discussed.
A false issue has been made by those OPP
posed to Conservative doctrines in this coun-
try, by declaring them to be analogous to the
Conservative doctrines maintained in Great
Britain. They have sought to establish an
analogy between the doctrines maintained by
the Conservatives of the two countries, by de-
claring that the Conservatives Of this country
are seeking to establish union between B INK
and State, which, in its practical effects, shall
lead to the same results as the union betueen
Church and State in England. In this is
grounded false issue. 1t would be the union
"of the purse and the stoord," which would,
in its operations, be analogous in this country
to that of the union of Church and State in
England. This the Conservatives solemnly
protest against, as leading to overthrowing
the Republican institutions Of the country;
and, finally, to establish DESPOTISM
One of the great antagonist political parties
which has existed for some years past, land
the dominant one, too,) is in fair way to be
overthrown, fthat be not already done, by the
introduction of measures, as applied to por-
ton of them, which neither 81 their conscience
sanctions or their judgment approves" The
other party is rendered quite as feeble, by in
ternal dissensions, individual predictions,
and personal aspirations Of indiduals, holding
conspicuous stations in its ranks. 1t is oppo-
sition alone, which, in our opinion, has sus-
tanned it SO long for any political purpose Of
party whatever
1t is under the foregoing convictions, that
we believe that neither Of the former existing
antagonist parties can be again rallied or held
together. New parties, in our opinion, are
to be formed. The principles Of the liberals
and destructiues of each, being more widely
extended apart than the Antipodes, the CON-
ponent parts Of which can never be united.
Some of our cotemporaries preach "concilta-
ciliation The Conservatives have denounc.
ed ultra loco oco equally with notification
,ohig doctrines. 1t were as easy to summon
spirits from the uasty Deep" as ever, under
any concessions whatever, to unite the Con-
seruatiues and loco. foco-destruetircs.
In our opinion, the Conservatives will not
swerve from carrying out a distinct party or
ganisation and will furnish nucleus around
which, those who are the advocates Of libe-
raj course Of policy, and who are opposed to
intolerance and persecution will rally; and
though in its incipient state, it presents the
grain of mustard seed, from which a tree will
speedily spring, with numerous and extended
branches under which the true DEMO-
GRATIS OF THE NATION WILL RALLY, AND
FORM THE RULING PARTY.
