A Question and It's Answer.
PULASKI STATION, VA,
Auouot OF 1Q2S

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Our Republican friends here are con
tinuslly harping on the charge that thu
act passed by the Democrats upset al
their legislation on the debt question
Please publish the bill and the vote
classifying the parties, unless the Re
adjusters did vote against it, as they
claim here they did. This charge
gives them more capital than anything
else at this place, as our mountains arr
full of men that do not read any papers
Yours, &C., JACOB HARRIS.
