NO THIRD PARTY WANTED AT PRESENT.
From the Baltimore Amcricanl
There has BEEHIVE see-another meet
ing OF the so.called Conservatives" in Con.
gress, with Mr.. Crittenden at their head, to
proclaim policy in the conduct of the wal
and the adjustment of all sectional contro.
versies. We cannot but think such move.
ment premature, even if it tcounprised every
conservative at Washington, and we can.
not help thinking, too, but that just such
movements have already, in the hands ol

figured at this meeting, done vast deal tc
distract public attention from the true issues
and the real and only method Of dealing
with an atrocious rebellion.
Whoever else may be caught by any such
devices the Union men of Maryland are not
likely to be. They well remember the ad
vent there OF this same Valandigham and
his particular friend BreckiDringe, backed
by some others who have since clearly de-
mons,'rated their standing, for the purpose
OF advocating conservative policy of some
kind that was to tie the hands of the Gov
ernment until Mr.. Jefferson Davis and his
friends should at leisurs accomplish their
vile purposes. That many, perhaps most
OF the gentlemen who figured at the recent
meeting in Washington, are patriotic, we
shall not assume to doubt, but even these,
We fear, are to be made subservient to the
sharper men in the present crisis of public
affairs, and so We hope to hear that, ike the
last meeting Of the kind in Washington,
and the recent one in New York, the peo.
pie will severely let them alone.
When Richmond has fallen, and when
the Rebel Government is compelled to hide
in the swamps OF the Cotton States, or to
cut and run for foreign parts, it will be
plenty of time-we think-to talk of leni.
ency, compromise, and to use all the other
soft phrases ut vogue with men of the
Breckinridge school who figured few
months ago in endeavoring to paralyze the
strong arm of the Government in dealing
with the rebellion. And we imagine that
Mr. Jefferson Davis, if he were permitted
to dictate course Of action here himself
would desire nothing better in the way Of
an effective diversion in his favor than these
.o-oalled conservative" efforts on the part
Of tho politicians.
We hope, then that for the present, at
least, the masses--the real people-will un-
mistakably frown upon this movement
There can be but two parties until the re-
bellion is put tdown-'those for the Govern
ment, and those against it,"as avcrred by
