or eight months since with the avowed pllr-

port OF the Conservative party. q contract
and agreement was entered into with and

it. A prospectus Was published in each
and every issue containing the sentence,

Notwithstanding this MISUNDERSTOOD
contract between the editor and stock
holders, they find the last several issues

of the county. They have no right to
complain OF the editor or any one else for
any views he or they may entertain on the
creenback move. Their only complaint
against the editor is that, having bargained
with him to run the paper in one direction,
while that bargain was in full force, he has
undertaken to run it in the opposite direc-
ton. When he found out that lie could not
in good faith keep his promise TO them ne
should have notified the stockholders and
returned the property to then.
Many Of the principles OF the Greenback
party, as set forth in their resolutions OF
June court, we recognize as Old Co2serVa-

We think our greatest difference with them
will be that they are more extreme in their
views than weare, and they propose to fight
outside Of and against the Conservative par
ty, while we propose to fight inside and for
the Conservative party; which party was
so handsomely culogized by the representa-
tives of the people. fresh from the masses,
in adopting the platform OF the party by the
Convention which assembled in Richmond
not year ago. And let. good and true and
tried Conservatives ponder we'll the achieve

before they turn their backs on the "old
