senator whey. Address.

We spread before our readers this morn
lug the address delivered some days ago by
Mr.. Wiley in the Convention. We have
already spoken of it once in these columns.
aud do SO again to call the readers partic.
ular attention to its general features. The
speech, excellent as it is, loses halfits force

er as Mr.. Wiley must. Any one who reads
it through 10 an nnprejudiced frame of
mind, must bc thoroughly convinced of the
impreguability ofits positions. How much
more SO to have heard it delivered, as we
did, with all the impassioued vehemeucs Of
the orator.
Mr.. Wiley 6rst examines the objection
that the Legislature which consented to
the partition of the State was not CONNIE.
tent to do SO, and by his complete viud,-
cation of the reorganization of theiG oyerp-
ment of the State, triumphantly refutes tn.
uufounded assertion that the consent oh
tanned Was not such a one as REQUIRED nv
the Constitution. Next he deals with the
consent given by Congress, aud the condi-
ton imposed, aud proves beyond dispute
not only that it is within the power of
Congress to impose conditions, that it isi,.

Of allthe States. to ascertain if there be aov
objection to the unconditional admission Of

precedent has already been established in
numerous instances, among them the ad-
mission of the States of Ohio, Missouri

quotations from Mr., Carlile's own isuvp.rs

4th. That we as a loyal people acknowl-
edge the Administration the medium
through which the destruction of this re-
bellion IS to be made effestual, and that We
owe 1t to gil We hold sacred in our blood
bought free Institutions, to give 1t such
support as will enable us 10 hand down to
generations to come, intact, this glorious
URlon of ours.
9Th. That any party or set OF men who,
by factious opposition to the Administers
ton or. the Government, iuiure our noble
cause, will ,meetyith overwhelming popu-
lar indignation from the soldiery both here
aud hereafter.
9th That We herewith regret, though
with hearts full of condemnation aud re-
pudtation. the .mufmurings and insane and
disloyal conduct OF the copperheads-so-
called by the soldiers of our loyal and gall
liant State. rtl ~
Tth. That Ne regard the efforts of those
copperheads of Ohio, to demoraIize the ar
my by writing reasonable letters to the
soldiers in the field, by fnrging men to de-
sert their flag, by misrepresentiug the ADJ
ministration ard the objects of the war,
and by all the means conceived only by
traitors, as unworthy American citizens,
aud more dangerous aud heinous than the
efforts of armed rebels who meet us in
deadly conflict on the battlefield.
9th. That we regard any attempts to In
jure or depreeiate theyalue of the currency
of the Government, in. which the soldier is
paid, as direct blow at the soldier and
his family, and stab at the very vitals of
the Government itself, conduct of which,
no one friendly to, tie perpetuation of our
! free institutions and the restoration of the
Union of the. States would be guilty.
9th. That we regard the prospects of a
speedy termination4of, the war resulting in
the utter discontinue and .dislnay of trail
tors, and the consequent overthrow of the
rebelliou, as bright and encouragiug-all
the boasts of rebels, and the sneers aud
jeers of copperheads to the contrary not
withstanding. r.
/ 10th. That we will causet to be remem-
bered those cowardly grumblers aud trail
tors, craven spirits who, instead of aiding
us in our noble purpose by their presence
in the ranks, are at home aiding and ubet-
ting rebels by keeping up a FIRE in our
rear
18th. That we will always endeavor
to make their children loyal By continually
holding up to the deri5iOn aud scorn of the
sOorId The bad. faith and treason Of their fath
! erS. h.,4s
18th. That a, copy Of these resolutions
be sent to the editors of the Wheeling In
telttgeHcer for publication.

lion in its path, which causes the bair of
many timId gentlemen TO stand on end
and cleaves his way with trenchant
blade. He shows that the institution has
been an evil in the East and curse to the
West-that it has ruled ourlegislation, re-
tarded our development, dwarfed our
growth, impoverished our people and
finally involved US in war. he shows
that 10 the West this interest is SO small
land so growing smaller by rapid degrees
and beautifully less) as tbatit ought not
to, and must not, be permitted to stand in
the way of the elevation and prosperity. of
all the rest of the people who have no part
nor lot in it. He effectually pricks the free
negro bubble which is sought to be blown
up to such alarming proportions; alludes
to the fact that provision of the new Con.
stitutioa expressly puts in force, aud SO
continues until changed by legislative en-
actmeut, the anti-free negro law of Virginia
under which we have hitherto been and are
now living; and shows by inevitable logic
that if the free negroes have not been able
to oVerruu us under the operation Of this
Law heretofore, they cannot do so under
the same law hereafter.
We have no design of pointing out at
length all the answers to objections to and
direct arguments for the new State con-
tanned in this address. We only ask that
the speech itself shall be read. 1t is its
own exponent. Lett be remembered that
it is the argument of man who is by ma
ture, by education, aud by practice what
would in the current language of the times
be termed conservative and let no man
charge Mr. Wiley las none honestly can,
with being an abolitionist, in the political
or offensive sense of that term, because he
tells US we must have new State and
free State here III Western Virginia, or We
are all ruined together. He speaks but the
conviction of man who looks to the fu
ture and embraces in his statemausbip the
consequences both immediate and remote
of our present action, and seeks to FORTH,
against coming danger.

Editors Inteiligencer:
A late speech of Mr.. Carlile on the bank.
ing system proposed by Secretary Chase,
contains this language: ave were told by
the Senator from Ohio yesterday, that gold
was some ffty-six or sixty per cent premi-
um. For the sake of the argument say it
is sixty per cent. A party with $4,000
in gold eau purchase $4,000 of United
States bonds under this bill for the pur-
Poses, as it is said of Banking, and he will
receive ninety per cent of that Sis 900 in
these legal tender notes, that is $l3, 5OO.'
a fine display of arithmetic that, for the
United States Senate When gold is sixty
per cent premium, according to Sir. Oar
lille, paper money is worth only forty cents
on the dollar. Calculating in the same
way, if gold we're Que hundred per cent
premium, paper money would be worth
nothing at ALI When Mr.. Carlils can buy
one dollar in gold for one hundred aud sig
~ cents in bank or Government paper, one
dollar of his paper money is worth sixty
two and II half cents in gold; aud Sc, GOO in
gold is equal to only $4,000 in U. S. legal
tender notes, and very little more in per
cent bonds. If Mr.. Carlile or any other
capitalist has $4,000 in Government six
per cent bonds, to sell for $4,000 in gold,
while gold is at sixty per cent premium,
the subscriber would like to buy them.
