requesting congress 70 ADMIT tue lew sltAae
under the Wiley Bill without alteration or
amendment, comes up to-day, and We sim
cerely hope will be passed without delay.
The oarIue Resolution in the House.
To-dayswe suppose the Joint Resolution
requestipgNr. catiils to resign which pas
ssd the Senate Saturday will come
up in the House of Delegates. The
objection made to it Saturday By Mr. Da-
Wis, (CAriile's right boWsr) shows that OPP
position will be made TO its passage. But
twin be flctious opposition merely. We
suppose very few members are willing to
incur the odium of becoming the apolOgist
Of Mr.. CarliIe after his universal condemns
ton by the people The passage by both
branches of the same Legislature that
elected Mr. oatlile of a demand for his
resignation, will be such an .oyerpower-
ing rebuke rs can not longer be disre-
Rarded. It's not difficult to imagine how
completely it will destroy the little power
he yet has left to injure the prospects OF
the new Statebefore Congress-. Then Mr..
Garlic will not have an inch ofground left
to stand on There will be great mountains
on either side, frey column in the rear
the Red sea in front, and no Moses there to
smite the waters. What can he do
Where is the escape from utter confusion
There is nothing 10 the consideration of
this resolution that ought to occupy ten
minutes discussion. We presume every
member of the House knows definitely
whether he sustains or repudiates Sir.
Carlile,s public acts, and is just as well
prepared to vote as he would be after
weeks discussion. We do not conceive
either that ii is question on which gen.
tlemen need "defne their positions" at
great length. Their votes will do that
sufficiently. And if it were to be discussed
till Christmas, we do not believe a vote
would be changed. We hope the friends
of the measure will not discuss it nor per
nit themselves to be imposed on by the
pretences of its enemies that they want
time for consideration aud tie elimiua-
ton OF their views. We imagine the Peo-
pie interested would much prefer voting
tospeakiug on that question just now.
A Littls breeze from Riehmond.
The little breeze from Richmond which
RULED the House of Delegates On the re-
ceptiou of the Goveruor'e Message did not,
so far rs we know, excite any special sur
prise on the part of those acquainted with
the autseedents of the gentleman who rails
ed 1t. We believe, as Mr. West told him
on the floor Of the House, that during his
brief legislative career he has not given his
support to single measure calculated to
punish or discourage the conspirators
against the Government. With such re-
cord it was to be expected that he would OPP
pose the message of as true man MS Gov
ernor Peirpoint, but we had hardly expect
ed him TO attack it with so much coarse
ness aud violence. We believe neither the
course of this gentleman nor the adhesion
Eiyeuit by his colleague, has occasioned any
very serious regrets among the other mem
bers.. These two stand out "alone, IN their
glory Tor shamey as the ayowed enemies
of the reorgaui1ed government of the State,
and the government of the United States
Itrsauires no one else to say this; they have
said it themselves as plainly as language
can speak. II there is any especial glory
in the assumption of such an attitude Ia
the loyal Legislature of Virginia, We pre-
eame no one envies' it. orif twas mere
nototiety that was sought, We think no one
will consider, the uotoriety obtained very
creditable either to the Intelligence or 10y
atty of the gentlemen seeking 1t. What do
our loyal people think of man who calls
Gov. Peirpoins "the person who pretends 70
represent this State in the capacity of Gov
ernor" as Mr.. Vance did In his remarks 10
the House on Saturday. IfGovernor Peir-
point is "the pretended" Governor, thea
John Letcher most be the real Governor;
and IL he Is, the Legislature at Richmond
is the real Legislature of Virginia; and if
1t Is, then tho gentleman from Harrison
made great mistake in coming to Wheel
ing instead of going to Richmond. orWhat
arc they 70 think of q man who moves to
withhold from the people altogether the
message of the loyal Chief Magistrate Of
their State, as the other gentleman from
Harrison did; and who while he would
thus apply the gag to his whole people
raves about the restrictions the govern
ment is obliged to impose on the vending
iof treasoni Would he vote and fight
equally hard against a motion to print
some reasonable message from john Letch-
err Ftom the whole tenor o. his spesehes
We are compelled TO doubt it.
We do not regard this attack by two
gentlemen. on The Governor aud bis mes,
sage Is: q matter of any great importance
