Editor Of Herald:
Dear Sir.

OSaf DIT
Isn't ii curious
to observe how quickly morsel, which
is decried and denounced as bitter
wien IN The mouths of others, becomes
sweet wien rolled under ones own
tongue?
Last summer and fall wb'n tie
democrats OF Shenandoah were asked to
place their signatures to paper under
the following headiog I'VE, tho under
signed, agree to form Central Han
cock and English Club in the tom oil
Woodstock, and pledge ourselves to
che active support Of the Regular Demo
cratic Electoral Ticket. as formed by
the convention Of May the 18th $780,"
the placing Of ones name to that paper
was denounced IS an act Insulting 10
the dignity of citizen o. free country.
II was a vile lund,r trap intended to
ensnare unw airy followers OF Malone 4;
i. was gotten up with sophistry, and
contained hidden purport, which, even
those staunch statesmen, who could
understand aud digest the Riddle6erger
Bill. without pcrusilg It's contents,
could not decipher which, those wise
street corner political financicrs. who
could demons rats tie settlement OF all
our financial eMharrasments from no
other data than the name OF tie man
by which bill introduced Tor the
settlement Of The State debt was known.
could moi perceive, aud were in danger
of forever debarriug themselves from
the advocacy Of those wlll-o the-wisp
theories 10 whish they were so devoted
lv attached, by simply signing that
oaper. so clearly, so unambignously ex-
pressed, yet, wilhall, tcemins with so
many political saare'.
venture to say that there is not one
nan in this county, who. after cursory
perusal ofthls heading, could not I'M
derstaud the whole purport of it. But,
oh, it was such bitter mOrsel for the
New Lights in Virginia politics. But
times have changed what was bitter
has become sweet. Let us glance at
certain paper that is being busily circu-
lated by tie Jacobns OF this county for
the signatures Of those very unwary
democrats, who couldn't understand
the other paper las: fail, conci'e and
clear as it was. The following is the
heading:
"The undersigned citizens Of ShonAn
doah County, hereby express their ap-
proval of the principles set forth aud
embodied in what is called the Riddle
bercer Bill' for the adjustment and
final settlement of the State debt, We
believe that Virginia should not b.
responsible for any part OF West Vlr-
njnia's recognized share OF one third;
that Virginia should not pay or fluid
any part OF the interest that accrued
during the war-beeinnlng with lis
declaration and concluding by act Of
coppress-and that III no event and for
no .onsid, ration should the sovereignty
OF the State be pledged or compromised
by tax-receiyable coupon. We further
express our entire approval Of the rate
of interest fixed by This bill as the
limit OF ability to pay without an IN
crease Of taxation.
