.oo They give forth no uncertain
sonnd. They favor an active canvass upon
the issue that the ReadjusterS have forced,
ond call upon our members OF Congress,
and all others willing to speak an honest
word in favor Of maintaining. the pighted
faith OF the State, to come to the rescue and
save the honor OF old Virginia.
And now the issue is clearly Joined. 1t
is Just as we would have it; and we want
to see every man who calls himself Con-
servatiye stand squarely up to it in opposi-
tion to Readiusters, disorgapizers in the
party, and regulators generally. The
platform put forth by the Committee is one
upon which every honest man can stand,
whether he be Democrat or Re-
publican. AS we have stated over and
over again, this question is one that rises
above party, towering so high above oil
party considerations, that II the ConserYa-

to Reputation we should withdraw from It.
But, thank Heaven! it is true to its mis-

something to- fight for.i Let us4stand by
our cause like men, and neither ask for nor

music in the MIR before many days, and the
fighting will be lively all along the line.
We hive no fears o! the result, and predict
great victory for the honest debt-payers.

crops, fat cattle, and teeming milk-pails.
Everywhere the people wear smiling and
contented faces, as well they may. At one
time the signs were disheartening; but the
great change that has come is so refreshing,
so comforting, that it has caused rebound
ing OF hope and promise that is, we believe,
almost without precedent.
People do not complain at all; but all are
| inclined to boast OF the wonderful change
| in the appearance OF their farms and the
astonishing improvement in crops from
| which they had expected nothing.
This great change has made its impress
sion upon the moral and political condition
OF the country. There was growing de-
spondency relating TO the financial condi-
ton OF the State. To this has succeeded a
checriulness that is delightful. Everybody
is abandoning himself to perfect content
ment with the debt settlement, and NOBODY
apprehends any disturbance OF the easy
flowing course of the funding process by
which the public debt Of Virginia is to be
quietly and successfully arranged. These
public disturbers, the so-called Readlust-
ers, will find it hard to drive men so in
clined to peace and serenity into the mis-
cries o; angry diSputation and troublesome
apprchensions. Indeed, the intelligent and
earnest citizens are not to be drawn into
that condition OF mind so hurtful to the
State, so troublesome to the people.
1t is indeed most gratifying that such a
happy change in affairs has come upon Fir-
I GINA. All foresee that the times are bright
ening, and that dear Old Virginia, so long
vexcd by the vicious schemes OF her most
underservng people, has now before her
the promise of Il speedy settlement Of her
financial troubles, the restoration OF her
domestic economy to order, and of her So
cial condition to contentment and happi-
ness
