Although the returns are imperfect, we
4 a.. 10 =. l..
80 counties comprised within the limits of the
proposed new State of West Virginia have
voted to adopt the State Constitution framed
by their delegates ly I majority Of al least
Against Gradual Emancipation the majority ior
that important step is at least four 10 one.
We respectfully commend this vote To the
thoughtful con liberation of Senator Garlic and
other loyal Yirginieus who still try 10 fancy
that new wine may bee kept in old bottles. II
waA Slavery that bu'lied Eastern Virginia into
treason; II is Freedom that must discover
West Virginia fron TIE pltreiyng corpse, and
bring her into the Union IN independent state.
West Virginia has Il much larger area than
Vermont, with nearly equal population
2-OGn, OF whom but ESQ! are slayes She
abounds in Mneras--COal. Salt, Iron, Petro.
ieurl-and IN Timber she is destined to be
great WoolproduciIg State; but her every IN
terrrt, capncity and hope ally her to the side
Of Free Labor, will which her destiny is ever
more blended. Why should one so able and
wiSo as Mr.. Garlic even s,eia not to see truths
hat are written broadly on the shy It is not
true c0nseryatsm--it Is stubborn prejudice and
blind 0bstinacy--ihat seeks u revive IA Past
whereof every vital element has forever per.
ished.
Men OF CoNNECTICuT, is il possible that
yorr state can vote to iortily aud perpetuatc
Slavery whom even VIRGINIA goes oyewhelm.
iDgy for Freedom Answer to-day at the
polls!
