carefully these words;) we have heard his

day, tUe hear that the Convention tvho yJrdmea
this Constitution did not represent the people
t0hom they Protessed TO represent! AfseF all
the discussions in committee and out o.
committee, and in the Senate, to-day, for
the first time, We hear a deliberate, pTemedt-
tated attack made upon the COnUentIOn thai
framed this Constitution"
Friends of the new State candid men
of all opinions, what think you, after read
ing this quotation, of the pretence of John
S. Carlile that he was in favor of our ad-
mission under the bill framed by the
Wheeling Convention. You can not bat
see how Indignantly and how effectually
the language of Senator Wade withers his
shameful pretence. Rest assured that
what Mr.. Wade tells you is true to the let
ter. Your own representatives, such men
as Senator Wiley, Representatives Brown,
Blair and Whaley, will confirm every word
of it. Your Convention COMMITS oners.
such men as Messrs. Paxton, Caldwell,
of Marshall, Ball, of Marion, and your
outside Commissioners, such men as Gen,
Kramer, of Monongalia, and Messrs. Hagansr
Brown and Ollie of Preston, and Col.
Parker, of Cabell, will re-cOnfirm their
confirmation. These gentlemen, when AT
Washington, were all so we'll assured that
Senator Carlile was about to betray the
whole new State movement, that after the
first day or two they steered clear of him
and freely and openly disclosed their sus,
picions to the friends of the bill both in TIT
Senate and the House. Mr.. Wiley had nc
confidence in Mr.. Carlile-Mr. Brown hae
none-Mr. BLAIR had noue-Mr. Whaley hat
none, and not one of the commissioner:
had. All their accumulated suspicious a.
to what was coming were well understood
and freely sympnthtzed With by Mr.. Wade
and led him little farther on his speech
to exclaim so emphatically, ".Mr. Fres-
tdent, there is something rorong in thi, matter.
With this much upon the subject We
leave it to-day. We have abundant mate.
rial for further expositions of the record o
Senator Garlic on this subject. We have
but commenced. Whether we shall pursue
it still on will be owing to what is called
for. What we have given in this article
annihilates every pretence that he was il
favor of the Wheeling Convention BILL
And ret we have not even alluded to the
way be at first attempted to smother that
bill and the whole new State movement for
all time to come, by his Blue Ridge bound
airy report to the Senate. That alone
would condemn beyond the power of ex-
lanatiou.
