lieye that they will object to act with party
that is built UP of the essential principles of
both parties. The Conservative party, as
we understand it, is opposed to Radicalism
in all its phases. This is the first and
grandest principle. It is in favor of white
Supremacy, material and mental develop
ment, law and order. What more do we
want? We do not want the radicalism Of
Democracy, of Whigsery, or of Republican,

interest upon the attempted disintegration
of this party, and augrlr good results for
themselves. They will be disappointed.
Notwithstanding the chickering's of disap-

will again in the next election carry the
State by an overwhelming majority, and
show the truth and virtue of its principles
by the result. So mote it be.-Beaford
