To lie Lova! People Of IFe.f VTrgnio:

To Tie Loya! People Of West VYrginio:
EDITORS IHTELLIGEXcRR by the &C, Of
Congress approved by the President on the
3lst of Dec, that body has consented to
the formation and admission of the New
State into the Union, upon the condition
that the convention shall 'make" and the
people "ratily" the following amendments
to their Constitution, viz: Strike out the
Tth section Of the llth art, and insert the
toilOwing:-"The children of Slavca born
within the limits of the State after the 4th
day of July, 1858, shall be free; and that
ali Slaves within the said State who shall
at the time aforesaid, be uudcr the age OF
ten yeArs, shall be free when theT arrive ut
the age of 81 years; and all Slaves over 10
and under 81 years shall be free when they
arrive at the age Of % years, &c. No Slave
shall be permitted TO come into the State
! for permanent residence"
The act Of Congress recites that the peo
pie Of West Virginia, since their Convent.
ion adjourned, bad expressed Wish 10
have this amendment made. Congress re.
fers doubtless to the unofficial vote in
favor Of gradual emancipation at the time
the Constitution Was voted on, which took
place in about twenty counties, and Was
nearly unanimous; and also, the expression
OF all friends present, after becoming sat
isfied that the consent Of Congress could
not be obtained so long as the New Con
stitution simply ignored the subject OF Sla-
Yery-haTing the New State Slave State
In fact, with the Constitution as it was-as
the Convention left 1.-THE New State would
have received but few votes in Crungress
for the Democrats, as general thing, were
opposed to dividing tho Old Dominion or
any ter0ls, and the Republicans would
ne. or vote To make two Slave States out o.
one. The Republicans, who hold the pow
er in all the branches, proposed to admit
on condition the Convention and people
weuld mako the foregoing amendment tc
the Constitution which the friends present
and large portion of the loyal people as.
scutcd to; and the Congress thcrcupou cou.
sente6.
II the post natl clause, which was pro.
posed in the Convention bad been inserted
IN the Constitution when it was presented
to Congress, that body would probably have
admitted without auue1inE my condition
-as that would have established, with
| 'mathematical certainty, "an ultimately free
State, and thereby much time aud expense
Would have been saved. But as the Con.
s:itution ignored tho subject of Slavery al
together, Congress annexed, as it had a
right to such condition ss it chose, and the
friends were obliged to accept, or lose the
whole.
Our Senator, Mr. Wiley, has brought for.
ward bill for the government to purchase
and pay for the slaves of all loyal men in

that the first legislature of tho New State
will pass AN act accepting il. But az The
matter now stands, the Convention and
people must comply with The condition

offices they propose to hold. II fail by

Editors IrtciI,qeucSr:
As much is said about the liberty Of
speech and of tho press, by the spologists
aud symPathisers OF tue present rebellion,
desire to occupy smEll space in Ons Of
your columns to say that every person has
perfectly clear ami iaTisputnble right to
express hiS sentiments on all political or
other questions, provided he does not com.
nit any offence or crime against the laws
OF the country or against the rules OF dc.
cent society. In the latter case, society
would fro"U upon him for a lrespnss GU
their rules Eud in tho fOrmer-ease crime
against tho laws should be punished. II
QUO person use siaudcrous words against
nuotheC he lays himself liable 10 the peually
Oi the law. II nus person aids, or assists
and encourages another by his course and
advice to commit a theft, or robbery, TO
burn dwelling or TO commit n murder, he
would be jually liable to be punished as an
nccOmPice or 0S An accessory, and would
he dCspised as much, md in some casss
more than the principal.
think that no ono will haye tho hardt-
hood TO say that these aidcrs, Rbettors and
symPathisers should not be punished be-
cause, fOrsOOth, il would be an infringe
mcnt upon the right OF speech. no, no.
The safety OF the community requires that
all such crimes shall bo punished, (no
body doubts thst) whether committed by
words or otherwise. Now If it is right and
proper in such criminal cases as Ne baye
named, TO punish these aidors and abcttors
OF crimes, why is it not still more right and
proper to punish those who, by their ooun-
sci and advice nre assisting in carrying on
tho present rebellion, which neTer could
have been brought about except by the use,
or rather the abuse, OF free speech, By the
| leading traitors who have brought this
greatest Of all calamities upon the country :
AS treason is considered In all civilized
countries to be The greatest and most wick.
ed OF all crimes known to the laws, certain
" those who aid, assist or encourage, by
their advice or influence, in carrying on this
treason, should be punished; aud more So
verely, too, than in cases of theft OF rob-
berry. Otherwise, il the traitors and their
sympathiser5 throughout the country arc
