and loyal, 10 the name of all that is just aud
honorable, to resign his position as U. s.
Senator, and retire within the lines of the

This meeting was addressed by Hon.
Jacob Blair.
All of these meetings at which the fore
going expressions were given. were called
for the purpose Of raising volunteers for the
Federal army, and at every one Ofthem in
addition to the resolutions condemning Mr..
oarIile, others were adopted endorsing the
action of Senator Wiley, and Hons. Mr..
Brown and Blair, our CougFessmen, in re-
gard TO the new State in Congress, and at
many of them returning thanks toibe
Senators aud Representatives of other
States who befriended the measure. An
immense meeting at Parkersburg adopted
resolutions of this character without di-
rectly condemning Mr.. Carlils.
We ePoint to these overwhelming eviden-
cos that Mr.. Oarliie has betrayed and mis-.
Represented the people Of Western Virgin
liai and add that this does not constitute
half the testimony. Every loyal paper in
Western Virginia has repudiated and de-
nounced bin most severely, and scores Cf
letters published from the best men in
Western Virgiaia, once bis friends, have
done the same. Besides16is we have rel
eeived hundreds Of private and business
letters from all parts of the country bear
ing Testimony to the treaehery Of this mani
and the more the evidence aecompIates and
the more seen of his conduct here at home
qs we'll asin Congress, the more dark and
damniug becomes the record. No people
ever so GnshimpusIy and so sternly rebuk-
ed an unfaithfpl servant before. We do
not believe the case has a parallel any
whore. Yet MryO OafIilest 10 his exsrEastiug
shame beit said, viii neither redeem lis
lost character nor resign YstFqst aoone
will mistake him any longer Eor the repre-
sentative Of the people who placed him
where he is.
