What attraction had the blacks Of
the free States to come to this State?
But were this so, could not the Leg
islature fix this by law? But every
sensible man knew that the present
laws of the State forbid free negroes
coming into the State. The tunda.
mental laws of the new State did
the same, and even the negroes who
were here now could be made TO re-
move
Another objection was that the cost
Of building the public buildings
would amount to too great sum.
No sooner would the new State be ad-
mitted than the value Of property
would so increase as to enable all to
hear the taxation much easier than
the taxes We would have 10 pay to
improve East Virginia. We wonl1,
by remaining with the old State, in
cur a share OF the debt contracted b.
the rebellion, and titus pay for in
strumeuts prepared for our own
slaughter.
There were those who held that
the rebellion would succeed, and
Western Virginia would be dragged
into the Southern Cnngedracy. What
would be our condition 10 4 Sothern
Confederacy2 Wedged in between
two great northern States, we would
be crushed by the bosom Of deS-
truction. No man WAS more anX-
ious for peace than Mr.. Wiley, but
peace could never come until the
union Of these States was restored.
How long could Wheeling resist IN
attack from the armies OF the Union?
He said some objected TO the poll
tics of the State. What had politics
to do with the State? Did any one
suppose that to favor the new State
was to endorse Lincoln 5 proclama-
ton? He could assure all that it
would not be SO construed
But some say now is mol a proper
time to divide the State. lie would
assure all that now was the day o!
salvation. The golden moment was
now at hand, and il We should fail
to improve it We will deserve all the
degradation it would entail upon us.
Adjourned till 10 0 clock to-mor-
row morning.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

After dinner the discussion was re-
sumed, aud continued till nearly SIX
Mr.. Smith concluded his remarks
in favor Of the com pcnsation, and
was replied to by Mr. Stuart and Mr.
Pomeroy, both Of whom made
lengthy speeches.
A motion was made for a night
session, bnt it being represented that
the Special Committee was at work
on an ordinance to regulate the first
election for State officers under the
new Constitution, and could not be
ready to report before Wednesday,
and as that was the only business to
come before them in addition to that
under consideration and the following
day would give time enough to com
plete the discussion. the Convention
adjourned till morning.

Our Paper.

Those of our friends to when we
have sent papers, and who retain
them, will be regarded as subscribers.
If any one objects either to the prin-
ciples OF our paper, or its price, and
does not wish it continued, he will
save US and himself any further eS-
pense by returning it, with his name
thereon, to this Office. We hope, for
various reasons, that few will return
their papers, and not one of the
least is the desire that We may have
a large circulation, but another one
is the fact that every man in the
country, no matter Of what party,
should encourage home industry
Every one who is able, should take
our paper; for it will contain all the
local news of any Importance or in
terest. 1t Will contain news from our
soldiers, from whom we shall be hap
py to hear at any time. We shall
endeavor to make it excel 10 all that
goes to make up good country pa
per, and We hope our friends will
give us a liberal patronage. We
aim to exert good moral and politi-
cal Influence in the community, and
those who expect us to indnlgern low
personalities against those who differ
from us 10 political opinion, will be
disappointed.
We are happy to say that but few
papers have been returned, and those
mostly from the members of the Sc
cession and abolition parties, and
one or two others from those who
were too poor or penurous to take it.
