loyal people OF, West Virginia respond TO
all these lnterrogatories with an emphatic
no-no-never! We want no compro-'
mise: we want no peace, except upon the
terms that those in rebellion will lay down
their arms aud submit to the regularly !
constituted authorities ofthe Government
of the United States. Then, and not TIL

aud suffer on for years, if need be, rather
than consent to dissolution ofthe Unlon,
which would be nothing less than a sur
render of the last hope of human liberty
on the face of the earth.

but even amidst surrounding difficulties

FellOw-Citizens, we are about 10 part

the office of Governor of Virginia in our

appreciated, not only by myself, but by
the whole loyal population of the State,

expect you to exercize that indulgence
which is due to a public officer under
the surrounding circumstances.
After the conclusion of Gov. Boreman's
inaugural, calls were made for Ex-senator
Wiley, who sat in conspicuous position
near the front, in response to which he

Mr. Wiley said,

that you have been upon your feet long
time and must be Wearied, and shall re-
spect that fact. Nevertheless, since you
have not only the Wiley amendment, but
Wiley also before you, will undertake
to make suggestion or two-not Id the
