Higue he knows full well that the Conservatives could
command, and can command, any place, any boon,
within the power OF himself or the party to give. He
knows and it is his hearts scheming thought that the
Conservatives abandoned him for his miserable unmany,
iRhigueing policy. He knows that honor, patriotism,
serespect love Of country, moved the honest sensl-
BILE men Of his party TO abandon him, and his " little
knot Of intriguing politicians to the blind, fatal work
ings Of their own despicable minds. He knows and
feels that the loss Of the Conservatives is to him and
his party the loss Of honor Of character, Of power OF
every thing. He knows that the separation OF the Con-

in number fatal to his power, and fatal to all their

be counseed; tear the fatal fet from your eyes-look
mark discern Who recovered the empire state, with
her two and half millions Of the best people tho
globe, from the desecatcd party Of Skidmore Ming and
the English heather woman, to which your own weak
and tho wickedness Of your cabinet had ahessy
and sacnlegously doomed and consigned them! You
know sir the little band Of Conservatives did it. You
know, sir, that the Wings were powerless. You know
the Conservatives recovered the great State from the
desecraed POLITICAL ruin which you and your keepers
had prepared for u.s. You know, sir-and it is your
souls deepest sorrow--that the little Conservative band
which you affect to despse and cover with conumey-

ton which you, rather your political guardians had
prepared for them--Rhode Island Connecticut New
York, New Jersey, Virginia North Carolina, Mssissp-

that the little honest fearless, seepess brave, patriotic
band Of Conservatives have saved the republic" from
the weak and wicked combination who had plotted its
overthrow, and they will show in November that they
have not disbanded nor lost their prowess.
