Votss And return to their peaceful homes,
nor seen and felt the impending dssOla-
tion. They armed themselves At .hs call
Of the President Of the Uuiled States. and
having now once put on the war harness
vowed that the rebellion iuItigGied and
brought on them BY these monsters 10 In.
lqaily mus, be put down al any and every
hazard. The jar thus given to Gll our
peaceful pursuits, should learn as this les
son, that We cannot prosper A. a people,
when governed BY uuWise, uaholy aud cor
rupt rulers, and laws enacted by slavery
propagAndists and that when our rulers
have become void Of all the good qualities
which should ever adorn the wise
Statesman and good philanthoPistsr the
liberties u the people are endangered. Il
further goes to show that the great social
aud political system Of our Republican
form Of Government is connected together
in such 4 way As that jar on one part OF
the great machine, naturally and neeessa-
rily Affects the whole in proportion TO the
plumber Of screws loose. The effect pro-
duCed by the action Of these slavery pro-
pAgandiSts upon our trades and business
cannot be computed. The merchant
from Aourishing business, sudden
" 6ndI himself surrounded With
bank suspensions, stay laws, &c. He
looks at his books, accounts, notes. &c;
ali, all worthless Our mechanics were
nearly all thrown out Of employment, aud
had Ii not been for the bouutiiul barYests
with which our land abOunds, rush would
have stared US square in the face, and we
would have presented no other spectacle to
the traveller who might have perchance
5trayed into these parts, than great bury
ing ground.
What would you think Of adding Mar.
shall Ohio, Brooke aud Hancock counties
to Pennsylvania II would in great
measure square up Pennsylvania, and do
away With the Panhandle, Now, II
nothing else will do our sister counties Of
West Virginia but u slave Constitution, let
the Convention insert this provision, that
the four counties have named may have
tue privilege on the day Of election TO vote
/ for the slave Constitution submitted to
them by the Convention, OF for annexing

Now rs to the matter Of dollars and
cents inyolVed-In all EtIVroeeedlngs which
have been taken in West Virginia, for the
creation Of new State, allow me TO say
one word Tue people have been ut the eI'
pense Of holding one Convention At Wheel
Ing which ordered the vote to no taken in
thiTty-nine counties Of West Virginia, to
hold an election and decide for them
selves whether they wanted to cut loose
from the old Babylon or not. Then we
have been at the expense Of an cleo
ton for and against the division. Now
we are at the expense Of the Convention
now In session in youl city. Then will
come the expense OF another election on
the constitution which this convention may
submit to us. Now II the people adopt d
slave constitution and our legislature
should sanction Il, have we the least ShA'
dow Of hope or assurance that Congress
will receive US, and BY this act establish
the precedent Of splitting up one old rotten
slave state into two slave states, Ndd
thus doubling the representation from the
slaves lates on the floor of the United States
Senator for one have no hope thdsCon'
gress will receive US. We will then neces'
sArily fall back where we started, under tht
same provisional government, minus abou
$50 600 for which we will have nothing
In return, except to make ourselves an OBJ.
jeCt for the sport of the world.
