The committee retired, and after con-

man, the following preamble and resolu-
tions: - -
whereas the 60 Readjusters OF the coun-
ty of Louisa have been invited by a public
notice, signed "Henry j. Vale, chairman
OF the County Committee" to meet at the
several precincts 81 the county upon this
day Tor the purpose OF sending delegates to
a convention to be held at Louisa Court
house on the 4th of September to nomi-
nate candidate for the House OF Delegates
and whereas, induced by said call, por-
ton OF the voters OF May 's-Store precinct,
in the Green Spring district, have assem-
bled, not to respond to said call, but to re-
Del il and to warn their feloW-citizens OF
the mischievous character Of the bold but
insidious attempt ina1gurated last winter
by aspiring politicians to disorganize, for
selfish and personal ends, both the Conser-
vatire and Republican parties upon a do.
mestc question, upon which. in'tbeir iudg-
ment, there should be no difference OF opin-
ion among Virginians; therefore
/. ReSolved, That in the opinion OF this
meeting Sustained as we honestly believe
by the unanimous sentiment Of the voters
OF the preeincf the effort to create new
party in Virginia upon the single question
of the public debt is uuwise and unpatri-
otto, and not demanded by any public ext
gcncy or necessity. ''',' "
9. That the agitation OF the question OF
the public debt, and the consequent failure
OF tie State to meet her recognized oblisa-
tions, has for years repealed capital and inn
migration from our borders, paralyzed the
energies of our people,: impaired private
credit, and brought distrust and despond-
ency instead Of confidence and hope to all
classes of our citizens. s.s.-
8. That every consideration OF patriotism
and interest demand that this agitation, so
disreputable to the honor and character OF
the State, and so mischievous in it's conse-
quences to her material prosperity, should
&c; sc, and that in the opinion Of this meet
ing the people OF the county and OF the
Commonwealth in general should seize the
opportunity presented by the approaching
election for an entire new Legislature to
prevent the return OF any uyitator to the
councils Of the State. g..
4. That the settlement OF the public debt
effected by the last Legislature, conforming
to the standard OF financial honor because
based upon the assent and acquiescence OF
the creditors, was wise and provident
adjustment of this yexed question, and
that Virginia would forfeit the respect and
incur the contempt Of the whole civilized
world should she fail to meet this liberal
concession on the part OF her creditors by
O prompt and faithful observance Of the
contract on her part.
5. That this settlement, as demonstrated
by official documents, will, without any 10.
crease of taxation, enable the State, with
proper and prudent economy, to maintain
the government in full Vigor and efficiency,
to preserve unimpaired her system OF CON-
mon schools, to continue her apprOpria-
tons to her charitable and educational in
stitutions, and at the same time to meet all
her obligations to her creditors, and there
fore should be aDDrOyed and sustained BY
all our people, without distinction OF party
or race. i... ..-- -..-.. 81,
That the thanks OF this meeting are due,
and are hereby rendered, to Senator Henry
W. Murray and to Delegate Samuel P.
Henson for their patriotic and efficient
support Of this great measure of judicious
and final settlement of dangerous and
harassing public question.

County Committee of the Readiustcrs, APP
