This New Kent meeting satisfies Us on one
point, however, and that is that the only
possible result OF the present movement
will be the formation OF new political
marty in this State. Are the people pre-
pared for this? Are they prepared to give
M the party organization which has enabled
them in the past to manage and control the
destinies OF the Commonwealth? This IS
the meaning OF the readjusters' convention.
When it meets we shall see men claiming to
be Conservatives, but who nave on ali pos
'sibIe occasions endorsed and supported III
dependent candidates for political prefer
ment against the regular nominees OF their
party, manipulating and directing its pro-
ceedings. We shall see men who have al.
ways been Radicals, and who most earnest
" desire TO see the Conservative party
disintcgrated and destroyed, active par
Elephants in its deliberations. Massey Ghe
parson), Paul, and Fukerson will be there
check by jowl with the Nortons and other
bright and shining lights in the Republican
party, and when the roll is called and the
delegates respond to their names we shall
hear Brisby, OF New Kent, former Radi-
cal member Of the Legislature from that
county, and Jefferson, one OF the leaders
and big guns Of Radicalism over on the Dla-
soon and Chckahominy, answer 4" Here"
for they, too, are among The representative
rcadiusters OF New Kcnt-at least they
are honored as delegates at large from the
county. There will be some good and true
men there, but they will soon find that they
are in the wrong crowd, and will In all
probability retire in good ORDER Vest

We know whereof we speak when we say
that many: OF the gentlemen who partici-
pated Tin the New, Kent meetins] were ex.
rceedingly doubtful about the propriety OF
sending delegates to the Richmond conyen-
ton, and are very. decidedly in favor Of ac-
eepting the settlement proposed hby the
creditors Of the State.-WeSt Point Star.

Tho State debt settlement, az proposed by
the State creditors! has met with (but lew
exceptions) the. approval OF the press OF the
State, AID we are sure it is endorsed with
marked unanimity by the people Of this
county and section. While il would have
been discreditable and dishonorable to
the State to have asked her creditorS-those
FROM whom sue borrowed the money, and
pledged her faith for its just payment-to
relieve her from the payment OF the amount
she bargained for, but n proposition coming
from the creditors, abating large por-
tion Of the interest, can be honorably
and justly accepted; and it would be an
instance OF c0nsummate folly to reject
this offer, and keep this State in the sea
OF agitation which has done already so
much mischief TO our best Interests. What
could we better expect or more desire from
those who trusted us In our need than the
liberal offer made? We are gratitled at the
prospects OF its acceptance and tie settle
mcnt OF a question which has greatly re-
tarded the prosperity OF the State, contri-
blIted TO the decentralization Of the people,
and lowered the standard Of that moral SEN
timent which has been the proud and en-
yiaSle characteristic OF our people in better
days. ~ 5. -.t ~. 80.
This settlement brings the debt within
the management Of Our present rate OF tax
alton, and with the increased growth OF
wealth and prosperity which will follow it
makes the way easy in the future for the
sure and ultimate triumph OF the State over
her financial difficulties. We hope and be-
iicvc there is wisdom and State pride
enough in the LEGISLATURE to accept this
and bring us from under the
cloud which throws gloom and despondency
over the Statc.-LecSburg WaShingt
