pfle Norfolk Meeting Of Friday.

NORFOLK, VA, September 20, 1879.
Editors Dispatch: Last night there was
4 large meeting held here in the interest OF
the Conservative party. The object OF the
gathering was 10 listen to addresses on the
debt question from DR.. Curry and Major
Gregory, who, it had been annouhceu'
would speak on this occasion. Line auci-
ence was composed OF the best men III inc
CITY, all branches OF business being repre-
sented. Eli,
The first speaker was Dr.. Curry. The
ronutation which he had made elsewhere in
this canvass had preceded him, and all were
onyious to hear what he had to say. There
was general feeling that both aspects Of
the case would be presented by him, for bis
position az. an eminent divine and diStin-
guished statesman were we'll known. The
Doctor met the public expectation. In a
few clear, terse, and energetic sentences he
| indicated the plane from which it was
proper to consider the settlement Of the
public debt. lie placed it high above the
| level Of those arguments which are directed
to passion, prejudice, and momentary poll
cy. Glancing at the arguments used by the
Mozarters, he said there Was not one Of
| them which, il followed to its legitimate
conclusion, would not end in socialism,
communism, and anarchy. They, in an in
sidious, covert way, seek to array citizen
against citizen, interest against interest, and
class against class, and, by appeals to the
lowest motives Of human action, tend to
| debauch public morals and PROSTATE the
foundations OF society. The proper deci-
| sion,of the great question which is sgitating
our State, the speaker said, was to be ar
rived at by considerations OF truth and hon
esty; and, standing upon this high plane,
/ he sought to elevate public sentiment to his
/ Ieyel. 1..l @, ~
1.-THE whole matter, the Doctor argued,
| could be put in nutshell. The first ques-
ton was, Does Virginia owe the debtP Inc
second. II SO, ought she 10 pay it !? and the
i third, II she ought, how ought she to do it ?
In considering Che first question he narra-
ted how the debt had been contracted be-
I fore the war, when yirginie was ruled by
/ ilcsrr own sons, and said that no one had ever
asea tp1uG bold enough to question TIC
