The Abolisionists hsvs succeeded in
heir disunion scheme, By the admission
INTO the Union Of new State called Ewes
ssrn Virginia" This State is formed Of
.Ae Western portion Of the State Of Yir-
xsnia, and has bean forned and admitted
into the Union, in direct violatiSa OF tbs
Consultation, which thsse abolition Con-
grsssmsn have taken q solemn cath to
support. The. Constitution relative TO
the admissions of New States reads as
follows.
ssNsw States may Dc admitted by Con-
gress into the Union; but no aete Ssats
ahaa be formed or srscfed sCithsH the
jstrisdiction of any other Stals; nor say
State be formed BY the junction OF two
or more States, or parta OF States, with
out the Consent oil the Legislatures OF
the States concerned, ~ we'll - NJ Of the
Congress" al.
Is Virginia State Of this Union ? II
80 her jurisdiction extends ever the ter
ritory embraced within this new State,
and did not every member Of Congress
who voted for the admission Of the nsw
State violate bis solemn oath to support
the Constitution when he cast bis vots
for the admission Of the new SsAts9 Ii
Virginia is not State Of the Uuions

was less improperly in admitting the new
State, than if they were States Of th'
Union. If the Congress admits into the
