There can be no logger any question that
I West Virginis is q jsEys as well as 9s fses0

~ authority which had the right 70 say
come il, or keep out. We can no more
agree 70 exclude West Virginia from the
convention Of States, than We can sEree to
exclude Kentucky. But vaIle We can
never consent 70 exclude her, very much
doubt II Virginia and the other rebel
State- viii ever agree % admit her. Up
on that question the Convention would
come to . dead lock in the very sct OF o.

Next, a. to the vital question otthe node
OF deciding matters n this couTscuoa-
The matters 20 be decided are az issue be-

I loyal a1d rebel States zh5uld stand each

u1eztious which concern u all, one rebel
vote must count equal % three loyal votes.
Nothing short Of that viii satisfy the So1ta.
