The numerous Sam Sticks who have
settled in the City of Wheeling and the ad.
Jacent country, under pretense of approy-
ing the principles and institutions of Yir.
ginia, 2have ayailedl themselves of a few
diseontepted native traitors 10 form, under
tpe guns of thesYankees and, in corner
of the Commonwealth, a'Glu6, which they
call a GoVernment,, but which is, in fact,
nothing more than pa'comhination . to secure
the favor Of their rulers, The property OF
their felloW.e citizens, and to wreak their
vengeanCe upon those whom they have so
cruelty injured.
That the wretches, to whom we have al.
luded, should obey the Law of their kind,
is as natural as that the warmed serpent
should bite; but that people planted BY
Virginia, and protected with her brood from
savage and civilized foes, should have
furnished even son who would abandon
her cause, usnrp her authority, and league
With iheF deadhest foes is RIsad ceommen-
tary upon human weakness and depravity.
Happily, there are but very few of this
character.
We have received, a few copies of
81, 1,
some facts illustrative of the designs Of the
Junto. Having driven many of the truest
Virgiuians into exile, aud holding the peo-
pie in suhjection by fear of sword and dun
geOn, these miscreants issue their DEGREES,
without opposition from their victims. y.
As . specimen of the treatment which.
these traitnrs5 who. give The. ans1niek of
their country the sanction of their appro-
val, may expect at their hands; we find
violent and abusive diatribe against the
"Honorable John s. Carlile." He is said
to have become "either very stupid, or
else a very desperately reckless or m enda-
cious individual" He has "either falsely
OF 1msndhciously ststed-fa- gtalsehood ~.
''FFomt6rst-tola last hiS160nhsels bear the
evidence of being simply the sttemptiof a
6rokensdORn and unprinCipled demagogue
to get upfa reaction against agcondition of
things, which, if successful in their opera
ton, will be necessarily death to him."
The reader will note the tone of press
irresponsible to the rules of decency, or
the code of honor. What offence has been
committed by OArlile, to b haVe brought
upon his head such shower of contnmeIy?,
He has only expressed the opinion that
the new system of public schools and
township officers, copied from Connecticut
and imposed upon Virginia, is extremely,
Iiexpeusive and wholly inappliCable to der.
conditionl From this, aud various other
spitei1l expressions Of the paper, We learn
thRtthe Yankee propagaudists are trying
to eradieate the ideas Of government aud
of social order implanted by Virginia, and
to substitute their own If this effort be
met with even the opposition of enquiry,
the bayonet, the dungeon, confscatioa and
exile will follow 81. Our people may learn
the Yankee purpose from this indication.
n We are informed also that Andy John
son is Iurgingathe adoption of free labor,
and the lease of the valuable plantations
on the Mississippi for the culture Of cotton
with free negroes.3,tWe have often seen.
the municipal systems OF Massachusetts
and Virginia brough into competition upon
f'neutral territory but the Wheeling. Junto
has made the first attempt to expei SIFt
own prfnciples from our own soil, We do
not doubt that the comparison will
strengthen the attachment ofmo1r people
70 their own country and. the customs of

1.-The proceedings ofnthe bogus Leeisla-

IherfoFms of deliberative proceedings are
lTpteseryed. An old party triskster from
the Kanawha, who has, we believe, taken
the oath TO support any authority at the
momeht dominant, presides as the speaker
of one House of their moot Legislatures.
