| The Hon. JOHN s. CARLILE was greeted win
applause and three cheers for Old Virginia. ne
commenced his rambling speech by remarking That
he found from an authoritative announcement last
week that be was O citizen OF foreign iand.
[IIaughterl lie had suffered more for the Consttu-
ton and the Union than all the Abolitoniss OF the
North ever had or ever would. lie was democrat
because the Democratic party to-day 10 the only
unconditional Union party in the land. From that
speech of last week it appeared that the Black Re-
publican party was for conditional Union. de de-
MED that Western Virginia ha eyer been out OF the
Union. Western Virginia will never be separate
State. 1t will be one in name 90 long as supported
by bayonets, and no longer. The Secessionists Of
tee South and the Abolitionists of the North were
alike at enmity with the Constitution. No sane man
believed we could conquer united South. To carry
on war upon their territory, with view TO their
subugation was an act Of insanity, and could result
in nothing but the exhaustion of the country. ALI
the effort should have been to protect the citizen not
in arms from the power Of the State in arms. This
was war between two independent and separate
nationalties and upon our part, war against COM
munities against population against States, invov
ing in its ruin the peaceful citizen and the innocent
women and children of the land. This Government
had no coercive power 20 make war upon States-it
could only act directly upon individuals, SURPRISING
insurrection. This had been war Of plumber, and
the ascent Of the Yazoo River was not 30 much to
get behind Vicksburg as to get cotton. II it had
been desired TO restore the Union 1t could have been
done az the beginning Of the contest, when
there was a powerful Union element in every
Southern State. The same thing could have been
done by proclamation after the victory at Fort
Donesop. The Union had nothing to do with the
institution Of Slavery. 1t the creature OF the
States formed for the purpose OF protecting every
property interest in every State When you destroy
! the property interest in slaves You destroy the
Union BY striking down that which lies at it's base
the right of every State to regulate ifs own in
! ternal affairs. Applause. At the outset the re-
sronse Of the people was 30 great that the recruiting
offices were closed; but now, after years prosecu
ton of an Abolition war, it was not hoped that the
people would again respond, and hence the Conscrp
e ton bill. lGroans, and voice: 4" Three hundred
8 dollars, or your life"l The objection to all the
J peace PROBATIONARY Of which be would have
accepted in preference 10 this devastating war-was
that they went into details with regard TO Slavery
II was the expectation Of slave products which bad
made the valley of the Hudson garden. and con-
tributed 10 the prosperity Of the North. Where
the Southern States where held in Slavery :
Slavery was the form Of government best suited IN
the people whom it protected, and the best pos
sibe form Of government for the negro. The people
of this country were the government Of tho country
| not the Administration; IL they were, they would
not be worth fighting for. He had more respect for
Sumner than any Aboitionist he know, because he
was PLATO and straightforward and frank. III Lin
coin had been as frank, he would have got his

at ono time might have ended this strife. New-fork
can do il to-day When one-fifth the inhabitants OF
the State in solid column speak the words of truth
and sobernces, the nation must heed. How shall
this be settled He would suggest an amendment
of the Consttution-of q single line, without al!ud
ing to Slavery at all, and in accordance with the
theory of the Constitution. Ours was Govern
ment of checks and balances. No provi'
sion had been made for the representation
In the government of the minority OF the
people. He would propose TO make the candidate
for the VicePresidency upon the defeated ticket
the President Of the Senate OF the United States,
with an absolute veto upon the legislation OF Con-
gres. We should then have bad a Lane and q
johnson PRECEDING over the Senate instead Of @
Hamlin. Such a proposition Is all that is wanting
to bring peace and prosperity TO the country, and
restore TO us our once happy Union. Applause
We should look upon the stars and stripes az the
emblem Of freedom and not of war upon any sec
tion Of the Union any interest OF any section OF
the Union; not as the emblem Of q crusade against
people who ought TO be looked upon as our
brethren and not as alien enemies To-day it ia

Union is already discarded, and the flag has been
dishonored. lie had striven at the risk OF his life,
TO retain Western Virginia in Its folds To-day i.

10 cease THIS war upon women and children, which
is disgrace to the age in which we live, and should
make any mans face blush with shame who
stands passively by and permits 1t to be
