This was, desperate, and the Hon. JOHN
HARRIS was sain to do some cussing. But
still his SELF possession did not desert nih''
He studied the case well, and he came 10
the conclusion that there was still room ZOE
consideration and debate. He waited oes-

WHY. SAYS our longitudinal statesman,
was last year for readiustment. | trl-
umphed with my friends for REIMBURSEMENT
in the cool. And what did that mean
This that bill for peace settlement OF
the debt OF Virginia should prevail, ana
that was exactly what did prevail! Re
adjustment in the MCCuLLoCH settlement
prevailed, and the entire people OF Fir-
ginia should unite in one harmonious body
unanimously approving the MCCULLocH
bill. The Hon. Dir. HARRIS is now :" NC
CuLLocH-bill man." .... ...... 49,.
This, as We are informed on good ar-
thoritv, is the fact. biz. HARRIS IS a NC
CULLocH.bill man, and this will soon be an
noupced in the home newspapers
That at some day Mr.. HARRIS, NJ. G., will
show that his cunning and forecast have
deserted him we have fear; but 1t has not
come yet. Mr.. HARRIS has done that which
every wise man ought to do. No sensible
man could fail to advocate at once the NC
CULLocH-bill settlement as wise and practl-
cal. HARRIS saw this, and be Joined the
wise people, and now stands amongst the
men who know what is coming.
Mr.. HARRIS will soon proclaim his real
opinions, we say, and then The men who
have bluudered will heartily regret their
mistake, and attempt to make amends for
their folly. But it will be sad indeed IL it
should be too late to 'fsave their bacon"
The Hon. Mr.. HARRIS is at A." prisoners
base" as we shall see. . ~.
Now let us make comment here upon
what is just to the side Of the ''htness OF
things: The Hon. Mr.. HARRIS is guided
by that sagacity and wisdom which make
error st war with plain common sense. The
" vacuum" which is abhorred by Nature
herself is not less abhorred by Mr.. HARRIS
than Dlunder. we knew he would De True
to himself, and Of course to the State. AND
so is. What are the Wayward and lmpas-
stoned men who have been fighting bllndly
going to do now2 They will be left to
their fates, high and dry, unable to get back
into the reyiving water of political life.
where they must perish. .....'+
This is true wisdom after all. HARRIS
may err at some time, as all must; but that
time is not yet. PAUL, and MoFFETT, and
RIDDLEBERGBR, and such lesser lights, may
wander and founder in the quagmire OF
error and absurdity, but the Hon. Mr.. HAIR
RIs will show the way out Of difficulty. he
will be the light set upon the hill to show
the way to his people. O'FERRELL and
ROLLER are the true men that plumbed the
track of right, and Mr.. HARRIS has proved
their way as that Of wisdom and safety.
What is the Use of struggling longer in
this csse1 TO do so is perfect madness.
All Virginia is for peace and rest and for
the public welfare, the public independ-
ence and dignity. And whatever may be
said Of Mr.. HARRIS, we unhesitatingly re-
mark that his determination in favor OF the
MCCULLocH bill certainly adds to the
strength and conclusiveness Of the public
Judgment. - -
