OF THE LAST LEGISLATURES, ARE BEING FULLY

IMPORTANCE OF THE SUBJECT; AND ANOTHER
MOST PLEASANT OBSERVATION IS THAT ALL
THE LEADING STATESMEN AND SOLID PEOPLE
OF THE STATE ARE FULLY AROUSED AND COME
BOLDLY TO THE FRONT TO OPPOSE, WITH
THEIR POWER AND ,ELOQUENCE, THE WILD
AND REVOLUTIONARY SCHEMES OF HANDFUL
or FoRCIBLE READJUsTERs WHO HAVE BEEN

ont due rtfection, nor in any harsbness OF
feeling or sentiment, for none OF that nave
we to crafty. But we make them for the
truth Of history, and for the best, and most
lastinginterests OF our State and people. The
debt question was settled, by the last Legls'
lature. composed, as that body was, Of
very large minority Of Reaoiusters,' ana
on terms mutually satisfactory and accept
able 10 both the debtor and the creditor;
and it was settled by more than taoo-thsrdS
vote of the Legislature and the sanction Of
the Governor! Why continue the agitation
of the question as a rotten apple OF discord
among the people, and to the serious detrl.
ment of the best interests Of the State ? The
contract cannot be anDulled by any sue
ceeding Legislature; and if 1t were annul'
led tomorrow, what better plan OF 'read-
iustment' have the agitators to substitute.
In fact, what available plan at all have they
to propose; for not one OF their orators
and opponents, from Brother MASSEY to
Colonel CAMERON [the omission OF the
name of WILLIAA MALONE here is strik-
ing defect, especially as the lnde1 is print
ed at General MAHoEE's home], has yet an

the assertion that they neither have nor
can perfect any plan that Will ever adjust
the debt of the State as satisfactorily as
does the McCULLOcu plan now before the
people. To change or reverse that now
would be to throw the whole question
again into chaos, and 2aralyze all the COM
mercial and business interests OF the State,
