In an admirable article from The s..

language:
"The emancipation policy in Missouri

TO the Union, 1t is the only policy that
will enable us to avail ourselves Of all
natural advantages. 1t is the only pol
icy which wi sever the last cord that
binds portion Of our people to the reb.
el cause"
Never were truer words uttered. They
apply to West Virginia even better than
to Missouri, It's because they are true
that the rebels feel the creation of new
State here to bea heayg,hhE on the
ConfederacY. We don't Know rebel
