TIE JUNE CONVENTION.


The members Of .he Convention which
was organized on the llth Of June were
even more determined than those who
had assembled the preceding month.
Without delay they declared the State
Offices OF Virginia vacant because OF the
treason and disloyalty OF those who had
been elected to hold them, and they pro.
ceedee to fill them, and to form u regular
Stale organization, OF which Francis II.
Plerpont WAS appointed the executive
head. They did not assume to represent a
mere seclion Of the State, but in the belief
that the loyal people were entitled TO speak
for the whole State they declared that their
Government WIS the government of Vir.
| inia. This western movement was sub.
lsequently strengthened by the accession Of
Delegates from Alexandria and Fairfax
coun.ies, in Middle Virginia, and from
Acomac and Northampton counties on the
Eastern shore. Thus organized, the govern.
msnt Of the State was acknowledged by
Congress the government Of Virginia and
her Senators and representatives were ad.
mitted to seats.

A NEW STATE DoRS,


Notwithstanding the compliance with all
outward forms and requirements, notwith.
standing the recognition by Congress OF
tho new government, it was seen to be
essentially and really the government Of
West Virginia. 1t was only nominally and
by construction The government of the
State Of Virginia. It did not represent the
political power or the majority OF the peo-
pie Of the entire State. That power was
welded in aid OF the rebellion. The Sena.
tors and Representatives Of Virginia were
in the Confederate Congress. Thestrength
OF her people was in the Confederate
Army, OF which distinguished Virginian
was the commander. The situation was
anomalous, though the friends Of Tho
Union justified theirreeularity Of recogniz.
ing the frame work Of government in the
bands Of loyal men as the actual civil ad.
minisiration Of the State OF Virginia.
The people OF the Western ssc!ion OF
Virginia realized that the position was IN.
natural, -one which they could not sustain
by popular power within the limits OF the
State they assumed to govern except for
the protection afforded by the military
power Of the National Government

FORMER SECTIONAL STRIFE,

Between the two sections Of the Slate
there had long been serious sntGgonism.
Indeed from tho very origin Of the settle
ment Of West Virginia, which had made
but little progress when the Federal Con.
stitution was adopted, its citizens were in
a large degree alienated from the Eastern
and older section Of the State. Tho men
OF the West were hardy irontiersmen, a
majority OF them soldiers Of the Revolu.
ton and their immediate descendants,
without estates, with little but the honora.
BILE record Of patriotic service and their
own strong arms, for their fortunes. They
had few slaves. They had their land pat
ents, which were certificates Of patriotic
service in the Revolutionary war, and they
depended upon their own labor for a new
home in wilderness. A population
thus originating, community thus
founded, IVES naturally uncongenial to the
aristocratic clement Of the Old Dominion.
They had no trade relations, no social
intercourse With the Tide Water section Of
the State. Formidable mountain ranges
separated the two sections, and the inhab.
itanta saw little OF each other. The busi.
ness interests OF the western region led the
people to the valley OF the Ohio and not to
the shores Of the Chesapeake. The waters
OF the Monongahela connected them with
Pennsylvania and carried them to Pitts.
