would repudiate all over that

gentlemen, who occupies the second
place on the State Democratic ticket.
lie thinks the account Of the Wytho>
vile discussion, as published in the
papers, does him injustice, and au-
thorizes us to state his true posi-
ton. which we do as follows:
GEN. WALKER is IN FAVOR OF
any adjustment honorable to the State
and acceptable to the creditors
Ofany legal and constitutional pro-
ceedings to get rid of the coupon fea.
ture Of the Funding Bill
OF economy in the administration
of the State Government and of in
creasiug its revenues 10y resort to new
subjects of taxation and by rigid
system Of assessment of personal prop
erty which will reach all the property
of the Slate alike
He is opposed to any increase of the
rate of taxation at plesent and believes
none is necessary.
When all other sources fail, and we
have left only a choice between repu-
diation and increased taxation, then
he favors any increase of taxation
which is not greater than our ability
to pay, not to exceed 20 cents more
on the dollar.

feet attention Of every one present.
lie reviewed the rise, progress and
manipulation Of the debt, and the
effect Of the Funding Bill on the
sovereignty Of the State, properly
denouncing the policy OF bargain =
ing away the right and power of
the Commonwealth to control and
apportion, as may be wise and eX<
pedient, its own revenues. He was
exceedingly severe on Gen. Walker
for dcnouncing readjustment as
larceny and forcible readiustmcnt
ment as highway robbery, and
showed that tried by his own
standard Gen. Walker must be
both a thief and II robbcr. These
views met with q most hearty en-
dorsement from neatly every one
present.
The Editor Of this paper was
called on, but spoke only some
five minutes, promising to embrace
future opportunity to speak to
the people Of that vicinity.
Glade Spring wears an air of
neatncss and thrift. Two hotels
and five stores are sustained, and
quite n town has Lccn built since

are among the most beautiful in
