In our first paper, we ende2yored to
show that it was to the interest OF our
people that the State of West Virginia
should remain intact, and bc perpetual.
We now propose to show that the time
has arrived when it behoOves every
friend of the new State to put forth his
best efforts on her behalf And the Ques-
ton may be very appropriately asked,
what is the best course now to be pur-
sued to promote her interests and advance
her prosperity 1t is contended that

taken, is to remove these distractions

footing of equality, in the free exercise
of his civil and political rights. 1t is an
axiomatical principle in the history of
all free governments, tina no people will
long remain contented and happy, and
their country become rich and populous.

level of slaves. Surely this is no time for

ginia, had little or nothing to do in its
creation. They were taken into the new
State, during the excitement and con-
fasion of the war. and it now behooves
us to show to their people. that it was all
for the best, and will ultimately be
greatly TO their advantage The Legis-
lature, which meets in few days in the
city of Wheeling, should eschew every
thing like party. and legislate for the
good of the whole State and the whole
people. This is the time for magnanim.
ity Let the members of that body rise
to the dignity OF the important and deli
