MR.. CARLILE AND his FRIENDS.

MIR, CAMILLE AND Ills FRIENDS.
| We have received q communication from the
Hon Nathan Gof, concerning the proceedings Of what
claims to be meeting of the Republican friends of the
Hon. John s. Garlic and Senators Wiley and Foreman,
held in the CourtHouse at Clarksburg, Va" on the
evening OF the 2sth ult with request that THE TEiB
USE publish the same. 1t that the meeting was
organized by the choice Of Mr. Go President ana H.
g. Northcot Secretary. 1t adopted preamble to the
effect that the loyal Republicans OF Carksburg and Har
rson County have high respect for
and entire confidence in, their neighbor, and
feowctzen, John s. Carlle that his recent nomination
Minister TO Sweden worthy alike of tho President
and Of tho nOmnee that his neghbOrs regret the failure
Of his confirmation by the Senate, and that he has been
unusy assaed by some Of the Republican newspapers
Of country Therefore the meeting resolved that the
confirmation OF Mr. Garlic "woud!have been productive
OF good to the country !" thatMr c. at the commence
ment of the Rebellion rendered invaluable service to the
loyal by his bold and determined opposition to BE-
Cesslon IN the Richmond Convention; that much was
due TO the energy Of Mr. Carlile for the rescue
Of loyal Vrginans from tile domination
Of the Rebel States Government; that
the first meeting OF Oyamen to restore Virginia to It's
proper status in the Federal Union held at Cars
burg under the auspices Of Mr.. Garlic, in April 1861
which led to the Wheeling Convention OF the following
month"; and finally to the restored Government and that
the appointment to foreign mission OF so prominent
leader in that movement due to tho loyal people
in the loyalty ability and fealy to the Republican party
of Mr. Carle that they pleased to learn that the
President cOntemplates appointing him to the Brazilian
mission that 1t gives the meeting pleasure to learn tat
Senators Wiley and Boreman favored Mr.. Cares con-
rmation, and that the Republican newspapers OF west
Virginia which have assailed Mossrs Care Wiley, and
Boroman not reflected the sentiments Of the Re
publican party Of the State.
Whether this mass meeting included any moro than
the half dozen who figured officers and committeeman
does appear from the report before u.s. Probably
did not else would not have been necessary that the
person should have acted in the triple capacity OF
expounder Of tho objects Of the meeting, secre-
tary, and Chairman OF the Committed on Resolutions
Even small number as six is an Improvement so Tar
numbers go, upon the famous convention In TOoeyst'
which, according to the veracious account OF the short
hand reporter who took down the proceedings OF that
august body consisted OF three taors who did not hes
tate to style Themselves We, the people Of England"
1t will be seen that this ClarksDurg meeting
at least twice numerous as the one in Toocyst;
and with such distinguished precedent, why should it
speak in the Of the people Of West Virginia
IL s noticeable fact that the record which these gentle
men make up for Mr.. Garlic is silent as TO
the views,of that eminent sateEmn upon the procla-
nation Of Emancipation, and bis political course gen
orally during the later years OF tho and since An
drew johnson, II will DO remembered rendered some
very good service to the loyal during the war; but
the fealty OF that gentleman to the Republican
cause during his accidental administration
was not OF tho intensest sort; yet the gen
eral impression IN this part Of the country
is that Il has been very like that Of Mr. John Car
lle Whether the Virginia Senators did did not sus
tain the nomination OF Mr.. Garlic have no means Of
knowing beyond the Of this meeting; but
II they did, then SC would seem, at this dis.
lance, that they either msrepresented the people
that State else hoy have been In the habit OF mis-
representing themselves NJ the polls for several years
past. The pleasant information that "the President
conempates the appointments OF him lCarllel To the
the mail lie will perhaps appoint him on the return
from Rio Of the Hon. Henry,T. Blow.
