The advice OF the SI6rtk Anzisan TO our

sion, by 3 sfseersdezire to zsrrs the beEt in

Never was better advice given 70 any
people than this counsel of the able and
ssgaeious paper from which We quote
We trast that ali Beu State men will feel
themselves fmpeIIed to renewed e1ertiou in
every section Of the new State. Surely
they hETe cause to take courage sud press
forward with the good work Every con
sidsrauon of selfish interest appeals 70
them 1t is every man's interest who
expects TO live in Western Virginia, TO ear
nesily labor 10 improve the present great
opportunity to secure new aad free State.
We have nothing to induce us to forego
any EFFORT, and nothing that will excuse rs
il We do. We have debt and taxation,
mountain high, threatening Us, If. at the
close Of this Esr. ne are found stiIl con-
neeted With fetellious Eastern Virgiuia.-
Not Iess than hundred millions of debt,
possibly more, will have to be provided for.
From whom will the interest on that deot
hare 70 be collector The answer IA plain
70 every man who knows the history OF the
past 1t will be collected largely, very
largely, from the people Of the West. Who
Of orr men Of enterprise will want to stay
In Western yirginia nader such cireum-
staueess They will fee the country in
droves, just as they have done ia times
past, 70 escape the .over-proportion of tax
alton that was pot upon US by the East
What prospect will the farmer and me-
ebanie have In country where lands are
cheap and valueiess, population sparse and
mechanical wants few, and taxation high:
On the other hand. what prospects will we
not have, If the present grand opportunity
to erect West Virginia into q new State, is
improved. Let John s. Carlile, himself,
answer. Here are the words Of the man who
was once the honored leader in the great
movement, as he is now the dishonored be-
traysr of it. They were uttered 10 Con-
yention in this city, on the 9Th of August
1861:
what is driving from our borders many
of our people within its limits? And what
is preventing thousands upon thousands of
others from coming amongstus? What is
wanted TO deyelope the immense deposits
of mineral wealth that fill our hills, and
with which our valleys TEEN? separate
and Independent eKistence-a position that
nature has designed Us 70 occupy. / said
here last spring that IN five years, aye,
sir, will say now that three years will not
roll ronnd until our population will be
qnRdrdpled, and there will be more people
in the limits Of the proposed boundary of
the new State than there is in the whole
State of Virginia to-day. Our ueighbors
in Ohio and PepnsylSania, and our friends
In many other States Of the Union, are
all looking aud anxious for It. have
lately received hundreds of letters
making inquiry in regard to sePara-
ton. Everywhere loyal hearts are
beating g. come and share with US
the destiny We ought 70 provide our
MS, IL we have but the manliness, and are
equal to lift ourselves TO the circumstances
that surround MS.
"For centuries, under the incubus of
false political philosophy, we have remain
ed here, digging, almostin primitive state
from the bowels of the earth the necessary !
means of support, while nature has filled
MS TO overlooking with all the elements of
wealth, seeking nothing in the world but
the hand of industry to deyelope them,
aad bring them into active use. Borne
down by an Eastern governmental majority, /
cut OF from all connection aud sympathy
with people with whom We have no COM
meneiRi ties. we have endured the most /
