one. sir Is beginning to mark our country with the
footprints OF desOnttOn in DlOod-hHs niH,lc WAR
upon the government OF the United States aud upon
the loyal people of all the States. For let say,
sir, that this war is prosecuted not only against the
government of the United States, hut against every
man. woman and child Who Will not enter into the
rebellion. Western Virginia has felt 1t incunl-
bent on her to take sides With the rebellion. por
