TAG spirit that animates the fallen Johr
s. Carlile, nov that he has so bopelessly
falIen-is we'll illustrated in the last issut
of his Clarksburg Patriot he discusses
in desultOry review, the doiags of The
legislature here, making every sentence
rude with snsrI or = sneer. sit is ap.
parent ito mimi that the people of the new
State have not ayafIed themselves in the
selection of their officers of the experience
and wisdom that could set State in mo-
ton with wise and benefcent laws" -"It
is probable" he says, ffthey have done all
that could be done by people situated as
they are. Limited to the selection alone OF

all men to endorse il, it ought ts have
been expected that the labOrs of such men
would be barren Of good results"
1t IA not surprising that Mr.. Carlils
should vent himself in this way.4He is a
poor broken down uau-Rt war with the
condition of things around him-baving

theoretically be lives in ViEginia-really
he lives 10 West Virginia. rs is United
States Senator from Virginia, yet such
part of his time as is not spent among the
secessfonists and gamb lers at Baltimore,
is spent in Clarksburg publishing mis-
cradle half sheet newspaper full Of enmity
against the men who actively engaged
themselves in the defeat of bis traitorous
treachery TO West Virginia.
1t may be true, Mr.. Garlic, that the
West Virginia legislature is not United
States Senate. You can afford to look
down upon them from that position; yet
they are the same men who met with you
on the l4th of May, and on the 1lth of
June, and on the 9th of August, in 1861,
and saved West Virginia from the clutches
of those very men with whom you are now
cheek -by-jowl. The men composing it,
whatever they are, are not to be excepted
to by you now, for they were your cola
borers, and if they did not do their work
artistically in their conventions, you, at
laest, will admit that they did it strongly
and periodically. The people Of West
Virginia are mostly primitive people
great deal like the patriotic masses Of
East Tennessee. They have had buI
the fewest and poorest facilities
for education. They have beer
all their lives under the curse of that in
stitutiOu which you at Richmond declared
ga social, political and religious blessing,
and Essential to the preservation of on
liberties" add which you said you desire,
"aboVe all things 10 continue" II is no
very natural that the representatives Q
such people, being one and the Same wit
the people, should be trained parliamenta
Yians-skilled in all the wisdom of th
schools. That style OF men lived in E4s
Virginia, and they nearly all without excep
ton turned traitors, and you are now thei
representative in the United States Senate
No man was more eulogistic than you o
the same men, and the same kind of men
you now sneer at and belittle, two year
ago at the time you met some of them il
convention, and at the time others of them
in the Legislature, elected you Unite
States Senator. Whatever they may b
they are certainly as capable now as the
were in the days when they followed you
fortunes. and whatever faults they ma
have, aequiescence in your treachery
not one of them.
The people will judge ofyour efforts L
discredit the stability Of things in Yves
Virginia. They know that your only hop
of self is in pulling down the new Stat
fabric which loyal hAnds. in spite of you
detection at the very zenith of yOur popu
larity, safely reared here in West Virgins
You have no future in the success of 10y
atty anywhere. Your associations are nc
with loyal people, either at bone or abroad
At New York you are closetsd with tn
swindliug aud gambling Woods, and 4
Baltimore with such men as Bob Latham
Henry May, and the secession Eabitues G
Barnum's hotel. Rest assured you ar
understood. With all your efforts to nd
vance the cause of disloyalty, the vote Q
your own county, published in this day
paper, shows how pitiful is your influence
With all your present sneers at your oil
co-laborers there are none of them, W
venture, who would trade places with yor
to-day. After the 4th of March, 1866
when your time shall have expired, an,
when this Union shall have been saved
and the new State of West Virginia secure
" established forever, there will be pre-
scented to the world contrast between 20,
and your old comrades, that you viii mo-
care to f9fer to either In or ont of print.
