Nowe,tory these blessings who does mot
hope p Who does not sigh9 We want to

hardly believe that q single man in the
State, after.a brief examination Of his own

| feat settlement now than TO sec it effected
with all these grand blessings following
after it. ~ sa:e
The Legislature Of Virginia we put faith
4 in. They are not all politicians, and even
| II there be politicians who might for some
| purpose or other desire to retard n settle
ment, they can be -feW.--The members
OF the legislature appreciate the adYan-
tages and blessings that would follow g Set
Element. The great body OF them cannot
consent to deny them to their worthy con.
stituents who have 50 long experienced the
| distress that comes from uncertainty and
agltation ind apprehension. The vexed
question has given to the Virginia con-
; stituencY Jew hours,of quiet and real peace
nor years past. 20 bring peace to the
homes OF the long sufferers so constantly
\ disturbed by apprehension OF disaster from
lthe fearful effects OF public insolvency is a
consummation too devoutly wished for to
I permit Virginia representatives to dash all
our hopes by defeating settlement upon
| the very threshold of its accomplishment.
| jWe,are delighted at the evident earnest
4 ness and concillatory disposition which ex.
| list in the Legislature, and cannot dream
that tbereis danger OF impractlcability apd
1peYerseness gaining the aseendancy in the
1bedy, There are members who possibly in
the past gained some notoriety for intracta-
bIfity who have Of late shown disposition
towards practical concession and harmony
for the public welfare. These are men who
deserve well'o their country and who ex-
alt themselves to. the high plane OF public
devotion. Their constancy now cannot
failto win them the unfading laurel Of pub
lie homer. = = 49,. 49, Fl, 81
What earthly reward is equal to this !?
What could be a temporary party advantage
compared to this noble compensatory Mere
flelusioa Of, a day leaving oftener the sting
Of disappointment than the, consolation of
clear conscience and the good opinion Of
nefghbors and the attachment OF sincere
friends. 5izgfyr,-,.; ..,sz
We cannot believe anything else than that
THE Virginia Legislators are ambitious to
carry home withthem the good account that
they have. assisted at a critical periodic Sc
IeHrte for their sti;uents relief from public
embarrassment, and peace. and prosperity
land; sqnteptment OF the people in their
homes, Such q grand work will not only
Sc sure TO them honor through life, but live
after them and embalms their names in the
brighter pages of their country's history
