Col. Russ Again.

We give Col. Russ hearing by publishing bis
card ITO the Public" which will be found in
another column. We shall dispose of him in . few
words so far as further newspaper controversy is
concerned. -..
1t will be remembered that we have made no
charge Of disloyalty against Col. Russ We did ex.
press a want of confidence in such loyalty as he
has manifested and we doubt not that a large ma
jority Of Conservatives viii agree that the language
employed by HIM is not the exponent Of such re-
spect for government as comes up TO the
standard of true patriotism. We do not believe,
and have not said that Col. Russ was traitor;
but we esteem his language as sedtions, and as
neither indicating sufficient interest in the success
of the Confederacy bis part nor as calculated to
inspire the people with proper regard for 1t.
If therefore, Col. Russ considers himself charged
with disloyalty by US, he mast certainly know that
for an accusation, which embodes the most pointed
insult and indignity that language can convey, he
has his remedy, inasmuch as. We are personally re-
sponsble to him. we are to all others, for every
Werd concerning him OF. them, used in the Cansere
Uatiue We shall not prostitute this journal BY IN:
dulging the language of recrimination.
We beg leave to be excused from any political a.
fliation with COL Russ the other leaders o. the
so.called "straItest sect" who with malice afore-
thought set themselves to work to disorganlze and
disrupt the Conservative party. Those who were
deceived and misled by these designing leaders
have right upon learning their error, to be admir-.
ted into the Conservative family. The door viii
not be closed against them. Nor have We any slia-
ton with those, who may have voted for Gov.
Vance as "a choice Of evils" or who virtually sup
ported Mr. Holden by not voting at all. We "lsn
the Conservative party to remain purged OF AL sucn
elements of diseord and disorganization The party
will be much better off without than with then-
We shall continue to adhere to the golden mean
the middle course is always the safest-C0"-
