Rannhlicans. This advice OF the Presi-
dent has caused considerable feeling among
the VIRGINIA Republicans who are here, ana
has been much discV ssed by them o-day.
One OF them said: stThe President has not
beeni,so successful in his southern policy
thai, he need to hope to betany more success
ful.in attempting to interfere with the Re
nublicans In Virginia." Another Republic

heard what the Eirginians called the Pres1'
dents scolding, said in substance this ::
g The 5position Of the Republicans in Vir-
gilman is not understood, either by the
President or by northern Republicans. The
recent contest in that State is only known
in the North as struggle between what; are
called the Debt PAYERS and the Read1usterF,
or what the North, chooses to term the Re
radiators. Now, the truth is, the great
majority Of the Republicans, the rank and
lille OF the party, did cooperate with the be
:adiusters, and made the victory OF that party
possible; but it is untruthful and unjust to
call the Readiustcrs regulators. No party
| in Virginia advocates reputation. i'Ehe
question. at issue was as to the time and
form of the payment OF the public DEBT;
and whether, for instance, the: schools
should be closed to enable the State to pay
grea,er sanouas of interest than it can
now afford. But, as a matter OF fact, the
debt question, although il that is under
stood in the North to have been the only
question ut iss1e, was By no means the con.
rolling influence in the campaign. The
! fight Of the Eeadiusters was fight against
| Bourbon riag-rule; against the Demo
cratic machine; against the. party oil
intolerance and oppression T. against the
party which has, prescribed the negro
and tRepublicanisna,4 and has planted it.
self upon the ,color-line; has cherished 81
the, traditions, 1t. not the. purposes, oil
secession. The Re&diusters, on: the. con.
trary, care little for the fate OF the Demo
cracy. They are working for q better State
government, for, relief from. ring-rule. and
it is true they have been. aided by. the Re
publicans. The overthrow OF the Bourbon
Democracy in Virginja7is lobe secured, and
a new. party, which cares as little for the
memories Of the rebellion, as to burn a Leg
in efiigy, is, to be created solely through
such agencies as these" These views, ex'
trao:dinary and novel as they may seem
are the statement OF one Of the foremost
men 10 the Republican party in Virginia as
to the opinions and purposes OF the Repub'
licans. This statement was made after lis
tenipg TO the advice OF the President.
