Il IL tAser trisisg.
There is no reason on Gods earth Why,
q IL Western Virginia Is ever to be State,
she should not be admitted now. The
j. Senator from Illinois spoke OF the present
confused and turbulent state Of affairs.
Sir. admidst that turbulence IS the very
time 10 organize it When we have lost
State after State going out Of the Union,
and making var upou Ii, Is 1t not good
policy for rs to seize upon the 6rst State
that offers her frieuGIy hand to come back

still to 90, and never to hold out eueorr-
agement that they shall return2 Is that
good policy ? He says many States have
gone out; aud, therefore, he argues, that
when they want TO come IN, We should
= keep the rest Of them ou.. That is about
the argument be has made use of.
If there is anything in such an argument
, as that, iii that this people, believing With
rs, being with u ia sentiment, being With
. Us IN principle, being powerful barrier be-
tween our enemies and our frieuds, should
not be erected into a noble free State as a
| breakEater between the seeessionists of the
South and the great Northwest. Is there
any time more favorable than this for the
measured Il all was calm, it all WAS peace,
it all was just as il should be, thea to tear
!. old Virginia asunder might cause q com
motion that would induce men to hesitate
+ Now it IS one of those things that the exi-
i gencies of the times most emineEtiy de-
! mand, and ii does not make a ripple upon
) the waters You can do Justice nov easier
I than you can begin 10 contemplate 1t in
other times. Now Is the time for great
events, when you see that 8 commotiou ia
the land has brought it wIttin the COM
, pass OF your power 20 do crest and
. mighty good, to perform it. To ireat the
fact OF that commotion as a reason why
! | you should not do 1t, is the narrowest
craftsmanship IN the world, Sir, this Il
/ the time when you can do it without ex-
I citing passion. Il IS time when you eau
5 do ample justice 70 this people, for which
they have been laboriug for years They
; have been almost the slaves of their enst-
! fern oppressors, aud in ordinary times We
/ should not have the bariihood 10 do them
: Justice. They conId not appeal to Us then,
j becanse7 there stond powerful Eastern Viz
Z giuia with her heel upon their neeks, and
/ We were without the courage to help them
to rectify aud to adjust their grievances.
Now things are reversed. Their long-cry-
; ing grievances are At our doors, easy TO be
: redtesssd. Let us mot postpone that re-
dress. Tue task will be no lighter ut the
next session than nov. Those who oppose
|. il now viii oppose it then. The whole sub
/ ject is understood. Alter going as far as
| I'VE have gone to yield now to the argu-
ment Of the Senator from Illinois would
be trifing with the feelings ard the
cause Of these Union men, who have
sacrificed everything to maintain the IN
tegrity of the Union and maintain the prin-
). ciples which we all aYoW. Let Ms stand
. by them let US not be carried away by
this argument and be deferred from coming
mp to the work Of doing justice, aud doing
it boldly, mot shrinking in a coEardly
manner, aud saying although I see it Is
some more convenient season." Sir, that
, Is not the way for statesman to act
. That need of justice which the exigencies
of the time demand should be done here
