The Dubuque Herald,
complains of a want of conservative papers in the West. If by conservatism it means such papers as
the Dubuque Herald, Indianapolis Sentinel, Dayton Empire, and Cincinnati Enquirer,
it is mistaken. They are sufficient to
satisfy the demands of the small squads of politicians, with traitorous
instincts, to be found scattered about the country, and who are looking to what
they call a reorganization of the Democratic party, with the special purpose of
adapting it to the purposes of their old masters down South, when the rebellion
shall be crushed and the States restored to their allegiance.
