Hon. John G0ode was in the city ibis
morning, 90 his way from Lexington 10 pay
a visit 10 his relatives in Bedford county.
Mr.. Goodies views were ELECTED while here
bg many gentlemen who attach weight TO
his utterances and his counsels At this Pc
Rod OF uncertainty in the politics Of the
State and Of the Souits While unprepared
10 formulate any proposition, he gave 1t as
his general advice, in answer 10 the in.
ouirics addressed TO hiSl, that the best men
Of the STATE ought 10 agree on some propo-
siiion for the settlement OF the debt which
would recognize the temper OF the people
and The state OF public conviction on the
subject as recently expressed, aud which,
however, would be inspired 10y the
spirit TO do the best that could be done
under all The circumstances OF the case
10 maintain the States credit and do
Justice 10 the creditors of all classes.
This proposition ought 10 be OF character
10 receive the endorsement Of the people.
He thought the extreme Readjusters would
probably then fall back on the advocacy OF
out.and.out reputation and on that issue
he felt confident the Conservative party, on
the platform Of an honest and practicable
readjustment. would prevail. The people
in some sections Ct The State thought their
yeIv civilization would be endangered by
the triumph OF an embittered faction, whose
rule would be inioIerable, and which would
give favor 10 all the worst elemen ts OF So
cieiy: and they were anxious for some
ground 10 be taken by the Conservative
leaders which would enable the people to
hold their own is against all agitators aud
TeyOluiionist>.
may say that Leading Conservatives OF
This city agree with the general trend Of
these views: that the Conservative party
must recognize the existing state OF public
feeling, and must abandon the NcCulloch
bill, planting itself on ground which The
people can hold good against demagogues
aud reprdialors. They are anxious to see
the debt question so settled a that II can no
longer be employed as a dangerous weapon
by INSCRIPTIONS aspirants and enemies OF
the public peace.
