Part Of the Programme OF Garlic
&CO.' Against the New state.
OF course every imaginable argument
aud every partisan device will be resortsd
to by the opponents OF tho New State to
excite prejudice against IT. Operations
will be conducted secretly ms far as posi-
BILE, for assertions will be made that the as
sertors know full well will never bear the
light of open discussion A friend has iu-
formed US that out in Harrison county tue
secessiouists and secession sympalhizers,
taking their cue no doubt from Garlic,
during his late visit home, are telling it
about in an upderhanded way that il the
new State is carried it will become in the
future mere asylum for free negroes: that
in fact that idea was 10 the contemplation
of Congress when it passed the bill. OF
course this assertion is shameless lie
The personal and political characters and
aulecedeuts of some Of the most couspic.
Gus advocates Of the bill are guarantees
against the truth of any such mendacious
ISLANDERS.
Our own representatives, including Mr..
Wiley, in the Senate, are known to be men
who are altogether conservative in their
opiuious about slavery, and they would
never vote for bill or advocate policy
that in the remOtest degrees looked towards
coloniziug the homes of their constituents
with free negroes. Aud with equal truth
and force can the same thing be said
OF Maynard of Tennessee, slave holder,
Casey Of Kentucky, another stakeholder,
aud Noel Of Missouri, to shy nothing of the
democrats from the North who voted for
the new State. lis a fAlsehood that ought
20 blister the mouths of Carlile L Co., when
they say that tree negro emigration or COL
onizatiou is 10 any manner to be encOur-
aged in the new State bill. To honest men
seeking simply the truth about the u"~State
We have only 10 preseuN or two con-
siderations in order fully to disabuse their
minds against the Vaccinations Of Carlile
L Co. We ask such men to remember this
!act, and to refer to 1t, aud have it always
ready for use when one of these under
handed opponents of the new State como
around them or their acquaintance with
their slippery inueudoes and assertions
about abolition aud FREQ negroes. Section
sth Of article IL, page &c OF the Coustitu-
ton OF tho new State provides that:
"Such parts of the common Law and of
the laws of the State of Virginia AS are in
force within the boundaries of the State of
West Virginia, when this Constitution goes
Into operation, Aud are not repugnant
thereto, shall be and continue the law of
this State until altered or repealed by the
Legislature"
Oue Of the laws ia force in this State
and which will continue in force, as pre-
scribed above, is that one which in section,
30, chapter 1913, page $40 of the Code OF
Virginia, enactS that:
mo free negro shall migrate into this
State"
Not only does the section so enact, but
it goes on to prescribe the penalties for an
infringement OF the enactment, all of
which are given in detail in the section.
And further than this, section LIST, of
chapter 10Th, page 52s of the Code,
snacts that
mo negro, cmNncipated since the first
day Of May, 1906, or hereafter, or claiming
his right to freedom under a negro so
CmanCipAted., shall, after being. twenty
one years of age, remain in this State with
out lawful permission"
So that it will DO seen that not only docs
the existing law, and the Law which will
exist forever, unless repealed, enact that
no FREQ negroes may migrate into this
State, but goes farther and enHcts that no
deSce ndant OF any free negro, already in
the State, shall remain, after he comes Of
age, "withOut lawful permission"
The foregoing citations from our laws
arc factstO which we desire to call the at
tOntOu of those persons upon whom Car
Lille & Co., are endeavoriug to operate
They are matters of record to which those
persons can turn for themselves and about
the truth Of which they can inform them
selves, A copy OF our code is to be found
in ever! lawyers Office aud 10 every mag
i0trates Office and at each court house, and |
every man who desires to inform himself |
can easily do so.
wv HusS VIM Nu0 Hteuus OF tne neW |
State will ferret out all these secret agents
OF Carlile, who are at work on this new
tack and run them down aud smoke them
out. Aud while they are at the work of
exposing this last trick, lot hem havswi.bin
reach copy Of the Garlic bill under which
that remarkable aud reliable statesman
proposed to bring West Virginia into the
Union, and let them ask his friends in what
respect that bill which provided that from
and after the 4tb day otJuly, 1863, all slaves
born within the State of West Virginia
should be free, differs from the Wiley bill
under which the new State was admitted.
