NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
TIE DETIL COMPOSING.
This is an age of mighty events and
remarkable conversions.
1t will be remembered Ivy our read
ers that Greedy, the prince of devils
and of original haters to the Constitu,
ton the most dangerous, has for the
past few months been striving with all
his influence to have the old Dominion
cut into fragments in order to blot ii
from the map Of the Union; and that
his Abolition friends, down to the low
est Of the pack, have chimed in with
the great disorganizer for the dismcn.-
hermcnt and destruction Of a sovereign
State. The Tribune and its echoes
all over the land were .iubilant at the
formation of State out Of Western
Virginia, and became the particular
defenders Of the scheme, and the only
advocates for the admission Of its bogus
Senators and Representatives to seat
in Congress.
1t will be remembered that these adj
vocates for ACKNOWLEDGMENT were striv-
ing FOR a model Abolition State cut Of
Western Va. to be known as Kanawa,
in which brilliant scheme tfey have
been rebukci by the people Of 'kanawa'
in the formation Of an ultra proslavery
constitution, under which to apply fer
admission as State. This has caused
the Tribune to turn hastily about, re
trace its steps, and all at once become
deeply impressed with the idea that it
is illegal and unconstitutional to sever a
State without having the consent Of the
Legislature of the State to I've divid
ed.
But hear what the Tribune says:
congress may dc'raud itself by admitting
persons to its floor who have no right there
but it will be in no haste to pcrpetrGte ffuuf
rpon the Constitution ofthe United >t0tcs. by
admitting a new State formed or erected with
in the jurisdiction of another State, without
the consent of the Legislature of the whole of
the original State TO admit New Virginia
under the san ;tion of its Provisional Leglsla-
ture, is simply to admit part Of State, with
the consent of that part only. The fonstitu-
ton intends that the part left shall have an
equal voice with the part leaving. On any
other principle every State might be cut up
into numerous new States, and those States
might go ont assuming n, duties towards the
remainder of the mother State. To state the
case is enough to prove that Northwestern
Virgin cannot constitutiOnGllyset up as a rev
State by the mere consent Of itself expressed
through its sectional Provisional Legi,la-
ture.'
Persons naturally inqusitive may de-
sire to know why the Tribune did not
ascertain this before the only answer
is, its willingness to override law, con.
stitutiOn, and the government for the
negro.
We find by referring to the Plain
Dealer Of the Gtl Of September last, in
speaking upon this question, we used
the following language:
"1he binder was in recognizing the right
of the people of Western Va to violate the
Constitution of its State with inlpunitv, to
which act the Congress Of the U. s. by its ac-
ton became pa'ticpes criminus." Every
step ia this work has been in open violation
of all the painciple involved in the forDa-
ton and working machinery of our govern
ment." THE only safe course for the admin
istration is to ignore its own policy and the
policy of Congress in sanctioning these usurp-
ers-these revolutionists in VA and let that
State, like other rebel States, stay cut of the
Union until such time as it can be brought in
without doing violence to the Constitution of
the U. S, or of Virginia" There can be no
question about the safety of this course, and
nvne about constitutionality.' ''And in spite
OF every apology in regard to it, the faithful
record of history will declare the formation
of the government Of Western Va as revolu-
tionary, rs a usurpation dangerous to the
peace of society, and as destructive Of free
Republican Government
For the utterance of these sentiments
we were denounced as traitor by per-
