Why the CarltieissA Did Net Divide the


:
WI, the CarItieiss. Did Ne. Divide the
State.
When the gido y -giddy-gout Legislature of
CAeIILg and piERroNr was considering the
question Of d,ssoiving the State and forming
New Virginia" on, of the West. according
TO their original programme, the Black Repuh-
loan politicians AMI the swindling haanciers
of Wsll street cane 10 the conclusion that
that would never do Tie political power Of
Virginia intact, solid and unbroken, was too
important 20 politicians 10 allow it 20 be fr,-
tered into nieces, and was abst luteiy ind.pen
sable FIR the protection Of the holders OF the
bonds Of the State. CARiILE Is rascal Ard
The INDUSTRIOUS assumption of taking upon
themselves the authority of the whole State
There was dignity and grandeur as well as
magnitude in that iiiustricus old sovereign
that deferred them from it. But the money
changers of Wall street aud the corrupt poll
tcians Of Washington informed them that tho
Stale must be kept together-that vagabondS
sS they were, they must stand forward as its
lawful representatives. IL WAS painful posi-
,ion TO them but the, were short of funds
there was no money i, their pockets, and but
little more than a shirt and a half to the
whole body-legis.s;ivc and executive. They
were not able 10 pay their board snd there
was not money enough in tho crowd to stand
s treat once d day. 1t required no small
amount Of liquor 10 maintain their eGsontery
The cunning rogues of Wall street we'll IN
aerstocd tie dire strait to which CARLILE's
men were rsdaeed, and knew at once that they
could control them. Stand forward, said they,
II the rsg-tag and bob-t Ill Government, as the
representatives Of Virginia at large---ssert
your power as the rightiul Government to
control her public aflairs-pass laws vblisa-
ting the : ate to pay her bonds--ou law rebels
geneIally- NJ gI0rify LINCOLN; and wen re-
plenish your empty purses, well give you
money for prog and grog, new pair Of
brooches a piece, aud enough to go on till you
can steal or rob the waerewithal to keep your
wheels creased. The offer too tempting
Trembling at the idea Of what they were about
10 do-rsgged and forlorn like Shakspeare's
A cothecary--they plainly said "my poverty,
not my will, consents"
The bogus Covert ment was in this manner
done" by the Wall street brokers and in
this way made raise at time when they
were strapped and dry az a powder-horn
But Wall street han dsomely reimbursed itself
for lis economical expenditure upon the vaga-
bond Government. Under the idea that the
4 IL II
and The march "to Richmond" would back up
CARLlLE and PlERroST and make good the
law for the payment Of tie bonds issued By
Virginia, they contrived to produce some
sation in the stock market, and advance those
bords.
Il waS Just one of those tr cks characteristic
Of Wall street ard ii was quite f,rtuuate for
the members Of the mock Government that L
fell to their lot 10 b. come the tools of these
rogues They seldom see any mcney-they
need but little, ordinariy-but they had
s,arted Ia ioIm Gtverpmeut,to raise an army
and go On, all e which required money
Noting could teId more tn enhance their
self cohceit than the timely fund from Wall
street, ard within they had put on their new
clothes, III d eaten ana drank their bellies full
they began TO think that they were really
Government Even PiEPpuNT, who was known
TO have been viii OFT credit and to have had
mary rec" for week., valiant entered ras-
taurant and invited tie tyst&r JcIs 10 take a
drink
Thus was Old Nirginia-Allah be praised -
