BY reference to the proceedings of the
public meeting held at the Court. House
on last Monday, it will bo seen that the
Union men Of Mason county have con
cluded that they can dispense with the
further services of John s. Carlile, and
that they, therefore, very politely re.
quest him to resign the position he occu-
pies since it is but too apparent that he
is determined to misrepresent their wish.
os. The course of Mr.. CarliIe in the
United States Senate, has been such as
those who are best acquainted with his
anlccedents would have predicted
MfnV OF those who gave their influence
and support to place the man in the exal
ted stalionhc has SO mcanly disgraced.
had their misgivings as To his fitness, in a
moral point Of view, for the place but
fattered themselves that his seeming de.
volion to the cause Of the Union was an
earnest that he was, for o1ce in his life,
sincere in his profession, The result
shows, however, that the man who has
been "everything by starts and nothing
long" politically speaking, could not be
long loyal citizen, il he pqs Obliged to
leave Richmond in hurry, be- cause he
boldly denounced Secession and tried to
uphold the Union.
Mr.. Carlile had scarce taken his place
in the Senate of the United States, until
he began to trim his sails for the South
ern breezes. We hear Of him first ex.
posing the cloven-foot in the course he
pursued in that body in reference 10 the
traitor Bright, and next by his strenuous
opposition to the confscation bill. The
whole burthen of his song in Washington
has been niger, niger, niger. He
has been "chcek by jowl" with such
viIainous wretches as Vallandigham,
Voorhees,, Ben. Wood, Richardson, &c.,
and has been one of the master spirits
in the party caucuses held in the Nation
al Capitol within the last nine m nths,
the object Of which caucuses was to re.
viye arty prejudices. and thus distract
and divide the loyal North.
He voted against the admission Of
the new State West Virginia. although
he OF one time claimed to be the prime
mover of the measure. and was, until a
short time before its defeat, one Of its
'warmest advocates.
We last hear of him turn;ag
up away out at Indianapolis, oad are
not surprised to learn he was the loud.
est ranter of treason. tba most blatant
advocate of the Southern rebels at the
convention ofun~asheh Democracy there
held the fercest in his denunciation Of
the Government, of all the precious
scosndrels there congregaled. We
would like TO see Mr.. John S. Garlic
attempt to repcothat speech to Mason
county audience, and whenever he
wants TO see Sights" let him make
tour through this section of the country,
to render an account Of his stewardship.
