ha The only safe course for the
administration is, to ignore its
oN policy, and the policy of
Ccgress, in sanctioning these
usrpers-these revolutionists in
I Mstern Va; and let that state,
liz other rebel states be out of
the eUnion until such time as it
car nbe brought in without doing
vioknce to the Constitution ofthe
U. !, or Of Virginia. There can
be p question about the safety
of tbs course, and none about it's
contitutionality. And in spite
of efry apology for the admins
tratbn's policy in regard to it,
the hithful record of history will
recdd the formation of the gov
ernt lent of Western Va. as revo-
lutj jnary, as a usurpation danger
Gus to the peace Of society, and
destructive to free representative
gov rnment.
BLOW, we give the World s

"A great blunder has been commit
ted " the convention representing the
loyal lcitizens of Western Virginia. 1t
has determined, by the strong vote Of
fifty gainst twenty-eight, to create 8
new state. The blunder does not so
mucfconsist in the violation of the Con-
stituton (which it plainly is) as in the
adoption of a policy which must OBJ
strut and embarrass the federal gov
ernnsnt in it's attempt to reconstruct
the Union after the rebels have yield
ed to tie force of our arms. The plan
which tae administration has been un-
derstooa to favor is, to recognize as the
actual government of the seeded states
the ohicI Irs who may be chosen by the
loyal part of the citizens, to support
those officers in the discharge of their
duties mAder the eristing constitutions
Of the several Stutcs, and make them
a nucleus around which the reviving
loyalty of The state can gather and be-
come consolidated. 1t is obvious that
the hopefulness Of such an experiment
would be in proportion to the strength,
respectability, and influence of the
loyal organization with which it SET
out. The fact that in Virginia the mum
Der of avowed Union men is greater than
in any other Of the seeded states, and
that they hold possession of large geo.
graphical division, embracing a full
third of its area, makes it desirable
that the work of reconstructing the IN
on should begin in that state; espec-
tally as the battles to be fought on it $
soil will virtually determine the result
of the war, and reorganization will
naturally first commence where the
rebels are first subdued. It is therefore
unfortunate that unwise counsels have
prevailed in Western Virginia, and its
loyal citizens have taken initiatory steps
for dissolving their political connection
with the restof the state.
The President recognized the gov
ernor chosen some months ago by tn,
Western Virginia convention as tn,
governor Of the whole state; and, a
the extra session of Congress, the Sen

Virginia. Had the government. thu
organized and thus recognized by tn
federal authorities, fulfilled the expect
ations which the country formed of it
the establishment Of loyal stat
government over the whole of Virgins
would have proceeded on simple, cas-,
principles, and have furnished prec
edent of great value in other states
The constitution. laws, municipal reg
ulations, and boundaries of the stat
would have remained the same as at tn
beginning Of the war. The only diff
