We so seldom have the pleasure of agree.
ing with Senator Carlile that We mnst
make the most of an Opportunity that pres
sentS itself. We do most emphatically
concur in his opinion that he should haTa
ceased to sit in the Sonata on the day that
the State of West Virginia was admitted
into the Union. He is not citizen of the
State which he seems to represent, He ia
not a true Representative Of. old Virginia
(loyal or disloyaljl nor of the loyal men-of
West Virginia; and, as to the (scarcely
distlnguishable) OoppeEhesds aud Rebels
OF the latter State, they are too few in num-
ber to be Represented anywhere but in the
rebel congress and army. We protest
against the further payment of So, 900 and
mileage per annnm from the Federal
Treasury to support their agsnt in the
Senate. l7-I II
Mr. Carlile confesses that he has no
moral right to seat in the Senate, and
that remains there for nothing but the
money he thus draws from the Treasury.

And we trust he concurs in our rejoicing
thatthe 4th of March, IS65-now so near
at hand-will relieve him forever from his
most disoreditAble position and the Nation
from bis most unwelcome and unworthy
service.
Ia order to give fulleffectand point to the
above comments of the Tribune, it ispeces-

was the man who, in violation Of law or
constitution. proposed in this city, in May
1861, to form, new State by force out of
two congressional districts. He was, Sec
