friends my determination to make that call.
On the 3lst of December returned to Rich
III nd, and after my arrival on that day finished
writing my inaugural message to be transmitted
on the lst Of January.
The message went freely and fully into the
subject of the relations of the Conservative
party with other parties and with Gen. Grant.
Ii Insisted upon maintaining the integrity and
independence of the Conservative party as
then and now organized. 1t alleged that the
Conservative party was under no ties or obliga-
tons which bound or identified it with any ex-
listing ualioDa party, but was Independent of
them ALL 1t set forth the princi pies of the
Conservative patty with emphasis; asserting
that We meant firmly to adhere to them even
to the extent of supporting all who supported
them, aod opposing all who opposed them. 1t
argued that all good men of all parties. could
properly come over to our ground and fad
room enough to stand on, but it clearly cxctud
ed all idea and all possibility of the CoDserVa-
tive party being carried over to, and merged
in any other existing party.
The message commented treely on the third
resolution of the Conservative platform, which
like every other part of it contemp plates the
maintenance of the party as an independent
organization. The long aud short of that re.
solution as then repeated is, that Us party we
will wage no factious opposition to Gen. Grant;
that We will fairly and imiartially judge him
BY his action, and will support bis measures
just as far as they accord with our principles
aud terd to promote the peace and welfare of
the whole country. The plain and Known
meaning is that We want peaceful, beneficial
and cordial relations with the Federal Execu-
tive head as far as We can rightly and honor
ably have them; that wewill cheerfulIy support
his action as far as it squares with our an
