We have before us paper called "THE

Maine: which has at its head, " In thiS pa

the U. States are pubishedby authority" from
which we extract the following viz, Let

that the proposition Of The late message has
produced no change IN the state 81 parties"
This is certainly pretty candid admission
for such thorough going leco:toco paper as
the Age. After describing what it suPposes
compose the Conservative party, it says:
Mr. TaAmadgc the leader, is deeply involved in
speculations which will prove ruinous, unless The
paper kites can be put in operation again, and The
credit bubble blown up to its utmost tension Glide

very last thing that these gamblers with other mems

they will be found the btterest enemies the Admi-

cupied by those who wish to inhict heavier blow
upon Democracy than they could BY fighting in the
open field, and earning from the federaisls the wa
ges of traitors well as iurncoats, is small in num-
bers, but composed OF active men, controlling con-
siderable amounts of money, and considerable
number Of banks. II we except a few in Virginia.

adopted by Tallmadge, are sincerely opposed TO
National Bank, and will eventually rally to the
support of the Administration, the Democracy has

professed the deepest veneration, and striking the
most deadly blows against the party to which they
have been daily swearing allegiance. It is mani

no honest motives-from no attachment to the ps n

The Albany Argus falls not far behind the
Age in its invidious assaults on the same high
minded men. 1t says, in the article which
we copy entire, that,
"The Conservative party will of course repre-
sent what is now known for shortness,' ii not for
deception, as the Wing party. And with what pro-
priety the parisans of that school be regarded
as conservativeT 1t is the same party that has
sought the overthrow Of the Democratic party and
the Democratic Administrations, in all forms and
by every means"
And subseq uently it says of that party,
that
"Itwas conservative" in 1884 when, leagued
with gigantic moneyed power, il sought the demo-
lton of our State institutions and the prostraton OF
credit and commerce" ,..@ .#.

party which sought in 1884, the overthrow
of our State institutions &C., &c. And
among the few who are excepted in Virginia,
no doubt, but RlvEs is to be added to the
names already enumerated.
Where were most of those distinguished
and patriotic men in the trying times Of 1884?
We will show. Mr.. Rives was in the Senate,
until forced to resign, or sacrifice his noble
independence of principle, by giving vote
which neither his reason approved or has con
science sanctioned. On the 23d day of March,
1884, the Globe thus eulogiscd the course he
adopted: ... .|

Mark the change! Now, Mr.. Rives is
charged by the Globe with being federal
wing; and Mr.. Calhoun is looked to and
praised as the orthodox patriot! Who has
