Forney says that the new (southern)
project Of adjustment comes "too late, "
which, We take it, is only another way Of
saying that whenever the South is prepar-

The Situation.

Two plans are proposed for selling out
the South" We publish both. One is
by the Hon. Gov. Orr, Of South Carolina,
and the other by Mr.. Thad. Stevens. We
see that Thaddeus has been defeated in
his, and, if there is any manhood left in
the South, Mr.. Orr's plan will be repudia-
ted.
The people of Virginia, and the entire
South, have their future in their own
hands, and, as far as we are concerned, we
prefer Thad Stevens bill to Mr.. Orrs.-
Mr.. Stevens wishes to degrade us by force,
by power we can't resist at present. Mr..
Orr and his policy party, propose that we
degrade ourselves.
The true policy is to reject both and
acork. These schemes for a so-called IRE
construction" may suit timid people, on
both sides Of the line, but the men. who
tknow their rights" and maintained them
during the war, will reject them. Let us
,cork and elect men to every office.
If it was necessary, in speaking Of the
Situation, we would ask the people Of the
Valley and the South, not to be excited
over the rumors and big talk that reaches
them from Washington and the North
Gov Orr and Mr.. Stevens may compro-
mise, but alet the better spirits wait and
work, and our hopes will be realized.
