Jack says that they don't need the conch anymore because he knows that the conch is the only thing that Ralph has that is keeping his tribe together. When Jack says the conch is no longer needed he says it because savagery has already won, he will become leader no matter what Ralph and the conch say.
In the book the conch symbolizes civilization and Jack does not want to be reminded of what he used to have before they were trapped on the island. I also think that Jack has no respect for civilization and order because he wants to live without rules

Who is the first to say we don't need the conch anymore lord of the flies?
The conch represents democracy, something Jack never believed in. Democracy was the reason he wasn't chosen as in leader in the first vote when he believed he should be. The conch begins to lose it's power throughout the chapter and is truly worthless when Jack forms his own group to which he automatically becomes a leader choosing not to believe that a democratic vote will elect him as leader. When Jack says the conch is no longer needed he says it because savagery has already won, he will become leader no matter what Ralph and the conch say. He later mentions that the conch doesn't work on his half of the island which shows that he has no respect for democracy and that his tribe are lead by a dictator.

Who blows the conch for assembly in chapter 8?
Jack blows the conch for the assembly to talk about the beast and that Ralph thinks that Jack's hunters are cowards and can't face the beast.
Why didn't the hunters steal the conch?
Jack did not want the conch. The conch represented the democratic society and rules which the boys had tried to establish. Jack wasn't interested in democracy or anyone else's wishes. Jack simply wanted total power for himself alone. It might be more apt to ask, why didn't Jack smash the conch? Of course if he had done that it would have antagonised the other boys, who might have turned against him. Instead Jack simply weaken its power by continually redefining the limits of its authority and gradually attracting more boys into his own tribe and away from the influence of the conch.
