We present to our readers in cur is.

written editorial, found in the Monroe
Register.
I've believe there IS no shade Of pO.
liiical opinion in this State, disap
proving Of the report Of the Debt Com.
iui,sioners. In political as well Us So
cial circles, their finding and the prin-
ciples announced By them arc urqua,i.
fidCly approved. Their aim was, not
TO tickle the fancy of the peopls Of this
State, but to be just, aud therefore they
announced principles, disclaiming exact
accuracy, by reason Of impcdimcnts
thrown in their way at Richmond,
which arc no! necessary to be repeated
nov. 1t might, hoEever, be well for
Governor Walker to be rcmin ded that
there is another point to this public
debt question not discussed by the
Commissioners, more important and
more crushing 10 his side Of tue qucs.
tisn than anything yet announced. We
refer to the fundamental condition pre-.
seribed by Virginia herself, and as a
"coHditica" upon which this State wa.
formed.
