WEST VIRGINIA.

The People of West Yirginia-we meau 30
much OF old Virginia as lies on the Ohio slope
Of tie Acknowledgement TO be set of and
form a new State, to be known as WEST
VIRGINIA. They have long desired this aud
now is their opportunity. Legislature
representing the Unionsts Of the old Strte--
no. few picked up here aud there from the
wreck made BY Treason. but forty odd
Counties which never did nor pretended to
couutenance the JEFF. Davis Conlederacy-hes
given its formal assent to the formation of toe
new State. The Counties proposed TO be
included in the new State have chosen Dele
gates TO . Convention, which has framed a
Constitution, which the People Of these Counties
have enphatically ratified. Every thing is
ripe aud ready for the ratifyiug action of
Congress, which we trust VII not be with
held.
The House Committee has decided TO change
the boundaries OF tho proposed State, by eX-
tending it southwark so as TO include the Val
ley of the Shenandoah and its adjuncts, swell
ing the population OF the state by some BOO
coo, and giving it FIVE instead of three Mem
bers OF Congress. We are not convinced Of
lie propTiety OF this change. The People of
the Valley have not eyinced desire to DE in
cludsd in the new State. IL may really be
doubted that they feel any such desire. They
are generally Pro.Slayery, So far as we have
Indications. and would be more likely TO
swamp than strengthen the liberal, progress
i've element which ought TO control the new
State. On the whole, it seems to us decidedly
hest 10 leave the boundaries us the Convention OF
the new State placed them and as the Loyalists
of tho old State have assented 10 them. This
is no time for trying doubtful experiments.
As to Slavery in the new state we wish
her Convention had seen fit to blot it ont at
once. in accordance with the terms of the
Presidents generous and wise proposition. We
are not clear, however, that Congress can do
better than assent 10 the Constitution as it
stands The recent vote of the People IN favor
of Gradual Emancipation renders the present
collapse and speedy extirpation of the evil
morally certain. When matters are going very
nearly right, it is not always wise TO insist
that they shall 60 a little better.

POLAND.

Late adyces from st. Petersburg apprise lis
that the Emperor has appointed his brother
Constantine Vceroy OF Poland. This indicates
a desire on tho part OF the Russian Government
to attempt once more reconciliation OF the
Polish people by the introduction of more
extensive administrative reforms. The Grand
Duke Constantine is generally described by the
writer's on Russian affairs as the most gifted
member of the Imperial family. lie 10 the
President OF the Committee on Emancipation,
and the great advance which has been recently
mado in the cnIaDci patton cause is said to be,
to great extent, due to his energy. He is
also known 20 have strong Psn-SlSyic tcnden-
cies, and his great aim in Poland will
undoubtedly be TO make the Russians appear
more as kindred Slavic race than as op-
prcssors.
lie will be assisted, in bic attempt at recon
ciliation, by Wielopolski, one of the few
prominent Poles who have discarded the here
ditsry hatred OF Russia and who are willing
to accept political union with Russia, on the
condition of the introduction of liberal reforms.
WielOpolski was recently reported to have
fallen into Disgrace at st. Petersburg. and to
be about to take up his abode in foreign
country; but his recent appointment az Chief
Assistant and Councillor of Grand Duke Con-
stantine not only refutes this rumor, but
proves that his counsels have been Needed at
ST. Petersburg.
Tho Russian Government is aware Of the
extensive sympathy OF Western Europe with
tho cause of Poland, and mikes grcnt efforts
to produce the impression that it is sincerely
DESTROYS to make to the Polish nationality all
reasonable concessions. There passes no month
in which some new books or pamphlets, mostly
in the French or German language, do not
plead the cause of Russia before tho bar of
public opinion One of the most recent publ
cations Of this kind is pamphlet published at
Paris by Prince Alexander Trubetrkoi. entitled
La POlogne NEST par mcne, which, in the
interest OF the liberty and the political regen-
GRAFTON Of the Slavic race, calls on the Poles
to accept frankly complete fusion with
Russia in order TO form ono great Slavic
nation. 1t is particularly directed against a
pamphlet of the Pole, Tanski. when looks to
complete separation of the Russo-Muscoyite

la Trea,ury security worthless simply be.
cause il may not be convenient or possible for
the Government to redeem it upon demand by
a specie payment The London Times-that
amiable mentor Of all crestion-says that il is.
Now, in 1916, at the close of the continental
wars, the Bank of England had in circulation
Is notes to the value Of f1e,O2I go, and
small notes to the value of f9,O0l 400; and
vet from 1913 to 1916 inclusive, only about
half million sterling had been coined at the
Bank. That institution suspended specie pay
rnents, having just before been paying in six
pences, in 1896. II was upon the verge OF
bankruptcy when blr. Pitts Order.in-councll
came TO tts relief. This order was sanctioned
By Parliament; the notes of the Bank were
practically made legal tender; aud the
Bank was not legally obliged to pay another
shilling in specie until 1919, during which
period War Expenditures had gone up to One
Hundred and Thirty Millions annually, in 1915.
All this time, a person by the name Of Napo-
leon Bonaparte was impatenty waiting for
Bank of England notes to be worth no more
than the assgnats of the Convention were in bis
boyhood. The MOnifeur talked then of the En-
pHsh o. The Times talks now Of the Amer.
cans. When Napoleon himself exploded, the
Old Ladys Fiye.Pound Note, were received
With Joy by all who could get them. ~ ia
another curious fact that from 1872 to lSl6
the British revenue was tripled, the exports, in
spits of the war, more than doubled, and the
imports increased half. England according
TO all the logic of The London Times, should
have gone commercially to perditlon. With a
natural peryersity. she insisted upon being pros.
porous.
What does all this prove That q nation
should needlcssly run in debt, and rcchlessy
expand its paper currency Not at oil. But
it does nean, III our case, rs II meant IN the
cass of England, that, when the very existence
of the Government is at stake, we must draw
upon our future retOurces, and that thorc is
not only no danger Of insolvency in 50 doing.
but no hope of solvency in doing otherwise.
It must be pretty plain to the most superficial
thinker that il is better for tho Government
to be sustained, owing Five Hundred Millions,
han for il to fall into beggarly and bankrupt
ruin owing only One Hundred Millions. There
can be no analogy instituted between an indi-
vidual aud a government. Generally. q man
who owes more than he can pay had better go
into Insolvency, give up what he has, and solacc
his creditors by declaring n dividend. But
Governments cannot stop without bringing 30
ciety to the curse Of anarchy. Governments,
BY tho very nature Of their monetary trnnsac-
tons claim long credits. and are obliged, IN
SELF l,feNse, to draw. in cases Of sudden cmer.

presents the case on behalf Of Gov. Stan!, Ia
the controversy relating to the cclorcd schools
and fugitive Slaves of that State. As Mr.
Colyer has returned to North Carolina, with
the intention of reopening his schools, the
question reyerts to its original conditions, and
if the Governor does not now interfere, the
country may, we presume, take it for granted
that he acts in compliance with instructions
from the Government, whose policy on this
matter is definitely settled.

CLOSING A CONTROVERSY.

Tie House yesterday cOncurred in the Sen
ates amendment (purely verbally to the bill
prohibiting Slavery for ever in all Territories
of the United States. AS now fully passed, the
bill reads:
ITO the end that Freedom may
be and remain forever the funda.
mental law of the land in all places
whatsoever, so far as it lies within
the power or depends upon the
action of the Government OF the
United States to make it 80, there,
fore,
"Be 1t enacted, de-, That from
and after the passage of this act
there shall be neither Slavery nor
involuntary servitude in any OF
the Territories Of the United
States now existing, or which may
at any time hereafter be formed
or acquired by the United States,
otherwise than in punishment OF
crimes whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted"
This bill needs only the signature Of the
Presideut-which it Will not need long-to
make it tho law of the Land. 1t ia not often
that so much of that righteousness which " e1-
aNeth a nation" is embodied in legislative
act
Had this act been passed in 175i-when
Mr Jefferson proposed one essentially the same
the fratricilal war in which We are now in
volyed would never have existed. There
would have been no rebellion in the country
during this century; for though ambitious and
unprincipled men might have sought to foment
one, the aiment Of popular ignorance, blind
credulty, and savage ferocity on which
Treason now gloat, would have no where
been found One Hundred thousand School
houses would by this time have existed
in a region where there are not to-day Five
Thousand. Industry, the Useful Arts, Pro-
duc.jou. Commerce, would have been developed
70 m extent now undreamed OF. Missouri
would have had the wealth and population OF
Ohio while Arkansas, with her central position
and genial climate, would have been ahead OF
Wisconsin.
The past cannot be recalled. The sin that
has been bears It's fruit Of preseDt suffering
and sacrifice. But here is for once al act
that has not trace Of compromise or shuttle
in it. II is one worthy of the best days OF
the Republic. Champions OF Freedom and
Justice for All. thank God that you have
lived TO see this day and renew your faith IN
that Providence which permits no generous
eaor. 10 fail Of its ultimate triumph.
