The DisntTection in Nouth.Caroiina.

| ne halelgn ", Y. olHNuAtu OF tu'
cath ult., has a severe article 10 reply Il
one attacking IN the Richmond Enqut
rer, in which the latter said that il lh,
Standard represented 1.-THE opinion ofil;
state, then the state ought TO 90 out o.
the Confederacy and make submission
on it's own account" To this the editor
! of the Standard replies, that the views
Of his paper in favor Of peace "are those
OF al least two thirds Of the people ol
North CaroIina" and, by way of reply
to the suggestion that the state ought tc
quit the ConIederacy, goes on 10 say:
"Suppose this stale, thus invited to
go out, had not gone-in, where would
the ConfederaCy have been to-dsyi--
Where would the cotton states have
been! Where would Virginia have
Seen? 0vcrrun and trampled down.
Richmond would have been long since
in the hands OF the enemy, and the states
south of US would have been occupied
at every point and their people crushed
into the earth. North Carolina troops
saved Richmond when assailed by Me-
CIellan; they won the battle of Chan
cellorsville; and during the recent move
ment on Pennsylvania they defended
Richmond under Gen. Hill. Our peo'
pie and troops Lave done more for Vir-
ginio and the cotton States than they
have done for themselves. And now, be.
cause they do not act in such a way as
TO please the Richmond Enquirer in all
respects, they are invited to take them
selves out Of the COnfederacy! They
will do SO if they please, in their own
good time, They will not be hurried
nor retarded by their enemies"
The Standard concludes its article
which has some significance from the
apparent consciousness of popular SYM
palhy which characte fizes it-wth the
following remarkable language:
Does not our critic know that 10 tho
event Of being overrun aud conquered
by the enemy, reconstruction would
be impossible? Does he not know that
Mr.. Lincoln would say. "Gentemen,
you cannot reconstruct that which you
have not destroyed. Indeed you bove
never been out of the Union. You
thought you were, bu. you were misa-
ken. Resume your duties as members
of the Union, on footing with the most
favored States? We tell him that we
have been, and still are, devoted to the
cause of ndependencc;--but, as we sta
ted in an article on the subject Of peace,
we fear that the chances are against US.
We did not make those chances aud
we cannot change them. We are des.
pondeut, but we are not in despair, We
tell the people the truth, and for this VIC
are censured. We should feel the lu.
initiation of restoration to the old gov.
ernment as profoundly and acutely as
the editor of the Register; but if the
people of this State, with subjugalion OF
restoration staring them in the face as
alternatives, should sadly and reluctant.
ly accept the latter, it would not be in
our power 10 prevent it, even if We
would"

The Laws Again.

Why it is there is SO much hostility,
in the House of Delegates, 10 the publ
cation of the laws passed by our Legis'
lature, in the loyal newspapers of the
State, is really mystery to US. They
certainly do not desire to oppose the
wishes and interests Of their constitu-
ents; yet il would seem so, when it is
known that they refused to take up the
Senale's resolution to appoint a commit
tee composed Of the members of both
Houses, TO determine the proprety of
having the laws published as above
They can certainly not be deferred from
the passage of such an act on account of
the ecpenss Of Publication, for it will not
require fve cents from each tax payer TO
deray the entire expense capitalization.
Who is there in West Va. who would
not give at least five times that amount
to have our laws published? But, may
be, they are like Garlic was on this
subject when he was member of the
Wheeling Convention. He opposed the
publication of the laws on the ground
that it would create newspaper specu.
lation!' But, mark his course: AS
soon as he became U. S. Senator, the
first thing he did was 10 establish a
newspaper at CIarksburg, and the next
step he takes is to secure the publication

West Virginia than their own local

low in the footstep Of this illuStrious in
dividual? Ifso, we have nothing more
to say. But, really, gentlemen, show

From the Plaindealer,
To the Legislature of West Va.

GESrLENEM-Many lhings are now
engaging your attention. The people
are expecting much at your hands; and
they are confidently waiting for yOg, to
throw Off all the old influences Which
have hitherto held themselves to a peo-
Pile which were in no way of them. 1t
seemed TO be the policy of their recent
masters of the East. to keep the people
of the West in ignorance, all the en-
aclments Of Richmond bear the impress
of this policy. Unlike government
seeking the enlightenment Of its people,
it withheld from them important knOwl'
edge, the laws by which they were to
be governed.
West Virginia 10 day wants and de-
mands of you the reverse of all this
The unholly rebellion now raging in the
land, has opened the eyes Of her people.
While they trusted to their leaders their
all, ruin has come upon them. Now,
they will improve by the terrible lesson,
and instead of their officers being their
masters, they will be held as the servants
of the people. The people will know
who their servants are, and what they
are doing, and how they do, They want
to know of you gentlemen of the Legis'
lature, what you are doing-they want
the laws you make published to them,
that they may see and know and Judge.
In behalf of the people, therefore, we
ask you TO have all the laws published
in the loyal'newspopers Of the State.
