Tho Virginia public read with muco in'
,er,s, the reports OF the proceedings OF '"e
ro,,ea STATES senate at the extra session
no,s passing away. Its not to be presumed
,h,, The peoplc Of all the Other States feel
quite ss deep an interest in The donates as
our peoplc feel; but the comments OF 'ne
prcs. show that in al the States there j.
more or less attention paid,o them.
These debates will serve 20 en'ighicn Tue
n,,oaal mind as 10 the real state OF th'ngN
in Virsinla. They will, on the other manu.
enable the people OF Virginia to know tue
real state Of feeling amongst thelr hor'ne'"
hre;bren IN regard to r,adiustment, repu'

caused them 10 come 10 the determination
M, 10 allow the Rtadiuslers ana thelr
nerro allies 10 get possession OF this STARE,
even il the debt question has to be thrown
overheard We do not think that mat
aycrment indicates an oycr-estima'c Oh the
change OF opinion that has taken place IN
Vircinia during the last few weeks.
Our telegraphic columns furnish this
mornlng a tolcTabIy foil report OF the scenes
and debates in the Senate yesterday. Ten
erai MALONE did his best; but be IaDoreu
under the disadvantage OF having to read
MS speech. No man can do much IN run
ming debate in Congress who has 10 rely
even upnn notes; much less, one VINO mas
hi speech written out in full. His decla-
ration that there shall be q free vote and fair
CONT In Virginia did very we'll when be
fr.t made III but we suspect that II was 4
little h,i yesterday.
However, a. wc have said, The country
will be enlightened by this debate we all
know how skilfully General MALONE arrays
Ms facts and figures in regard to the public
dobt Of Virginia. He may satisfy DIS fe'
publican friends that he is right in regard
10 hat matter; and they may thus be rem
dcrcd content with their ncw ally. He ana
. tbcv together will in thai event be permit
ted 10 settle the deb; Of virginia ~ thelf
oNn way. Il wilt be useless to expect TIE
prop,e of Virginia 10 try 10 force Der credl'
tors 10 receive thiriy.three millions ol d"I-
lars il lbcy think they are entitled 10 only
nineteen millions.
But after Mr.. CONKL1NG and General MA
HONE and Dir. GORHAM and the rest OF them
shall have disposed Of the debt question, a.
ttcy can do IN a few minutes, (the FLINDERS
cobspnting0 what then! Is General Ma
HONE going 10 continue to act with The Re.
pmolcans? /, Mr.. FULKERsoN TO be Dem
ocra, after next December, or RepuDll-
c9a? l. Mr.. PAUL to be Democrat OF u
Republican? What s0it Of future are these
mcn preparing for themselves The Demo-
cratic senator's without exception side WIN
the regular Democrats in Virginia. Inc
Democratic patty Of The nation does
likewise. Another Congress will soon come
in. Two years hence there VIII be no one
senator empowered to give the casting vote
as between the two natioual parties.
Whittier are your steps tending, Demo-
cratic Readjusler>! Have YOU made up
YOUR mind, to become Republicans, "wltb
an lhat the term implies? Ii not, pause
where you are and retrace your steps. See
who your allies are already. See The reso-
lu,ions adopted by negro meetings applaud
ing YOUR leaders action. Judge for YOUR
selves whether be will ever again act with
