!, The men who organized this new party
surely canaot have the impudence to claim
to belong to the Conservative party. Or II
they do, 1T viii make no difference. AS they
have made their bed, so let them lie. We
have no particular reason for supposing
that they are ashamed 2 their new party
except the fact that they never mention it
in'their speeches or journals We merely
infer that they are heartily ashamed OF
their work Of February last, and would
like to be known now as conservatives.
In this we may be mistaken. But whether
we are or not, the true Conservatives
men who have settled the puhlic-debt ques-
tlon and inteua that it SHAH remain set
tied ,-cannot affiliate with ANY man who
participated ia the Mozart-Hall Convention
uniess he repents his folly and returns to
his allegiance to the Conservative party.
