TnE RIdnr OF sELF.eovERNMENT.

From the earliest days OF Colonial his
tory until the present hour the liberty
loving American, with an unchanging and
answering fidelity, has maintained this
reserved right OF local seltgovernment as
the true, IL not the only reliable and per-
feet safeguard to the institutions OF our
country. It wss for this that thirteen in
dependent colonies, with the free offering
pledge OF life, OF fortune and OF sacred
honor, united In one common cause to re.
sist q common danger, repel o common
enemy, and establish the Independence Of
these States. It was because OF It's jealous
regard that the old articles Of confedera-
ton were but 70 rope OF sand, and tho
Constitution Of the United States lay hope
lessly stranded upon public disfavor, until
the guarantee had come from almost every
State, from AIassach usetts 10 the Carolinas,
"a guarantee that was promptly fulfilled
by the adoption OF the first ton amend-
nients), thai the omission OF q bill OF rights
should be supplied, and all undelegatei

The creation, by organic law, OF the three
departments Of government egislatiye,

TRANSPORTATION.


But why isit that, possessing all these
splendid resources and natural advan-
tages, located within easy distance OF tho
Atlantic seaboard, and surrounded by
nopulous and thrifty States, our develop
mont has been so limited and retarded?
Why is it That capital, avoiding, has turn
ed from us to seek investment in regions
more distant and less favored? Why Is 1t,
that the tide OF immigration has swept
over. and beyond us, to q more Western
locality, to engage in the up-building OF
great and prosperous States? Why is it,
that there arc SO few lateral railroads con-
Meeting with our trunk lines, and reaching
back, into the interior OF the State, to
those fields Of untold, yet undeyeloped
wealth? -.
There is a reason for theee things just
rs certain as there is cause for every
effect. Is 1t because we have not invited
and protected capital2 The history OF our
Legislation demonstrates the reverse. Is
| It because the immigrant has been offered
no encouragement to choose his home
amongst us? The hand OF "a generous and
hospitable people has ever been extended.
Is II because OF unfriendly railroad legis-
lation? In no State Of the Union can
there be found such liberal, and even
prodigal, enactments as our statutes pre-
sent upon this subject.
OF the half.dozen trunk line railways
controlling the internal commerce Of the
United States between the East and West,
two OF them-the Baltimore & Ohio, and
the Chesapeake 4 0hio-pass through our
State. The one, for nearly half a century,
and the other, for fifteen years, have trav-
ersed our domain.
With a full appreciation Of the extent Of
the statement, / declare here, that the
constant and unrelenting practice OF these
two companies, by rebates, rawbacks and
special contracts, in discriminating against
our people infreiglitand passengercharges,
| In tis interest Of the Western States and
Territories, has done more TO discourage
immigration, the investment Of capital,
the construction OF lateral railroads into
the interior, and tho development Of the
States resources, than all other causes com.
bined. assert furthermore, that had
they in the exercise OF the franchises and
privileges conferred upon them by the
munilicence OF our law-making power,
dealt with our people with simple, even.
handed Justice, the State OF West Virginia
would, this day, DO one Of the most prom-
inent Of the States in population, wealth
and material prosperity.

But, fellow citizens, weighty as are all
the interesting questions relating directly
to the material development and financial
prosperity OF the State, 1t is Of vastly more
importance to the great body Of the PEG
pie that our political institutions be pre-,
served in all their purity, simplicity
strength and yigor, and, to this end
that we shall ever hold in view, the self
evident truths, that, "free government
and the blessings OF liberty can be pre-.

price OF liberty" as truly and as certainly
in times OF peace, as when the lowering
clouds OF war arc obscuring the sunlight
Of freedom, the passions OF man run mad,
and civil authority has been subordinated
to the iron hand OF military power.
Possessed, as We are, OF the best form
and system Of governmenteyer devised by
the wisdom Of man, or consecrated by
patriot blood, so rests upon us the gravest
responsibility ever assumed by any peo-
pie, to preserve inviolate the priceless in

as It came from the fathers, q blessing to
posterity in ages yet to come.

TIE DEFINES MS POSITION.

Many States have similar constitutional
provisions, and have applied the. statute.
~ remedy without hesitation or evasion.
None need it so sorely as we, as none are
Disseminated against so mercilessly. i
stand by this constitutionatco command in its
every line and syllable, and shall, in the
future, as have in the past, give freely
whatever assistance can, that 1t may be
obeyed in letter and in spirit.
We assure, most cheerfully, every pro-
lection to railroad corporations that we
secure to ourselves. We would not do
them injustice in one single particular,
nor place one obstacle in the way OF their
Legitimate success. Wewill ever be ready
to encourage and assist them in all their
lawful undertakings. But having given
them corporate existence, with all their
powers and privileges, for the benefit OF
our own citizens, we demand that our
lands shall no longer be used as mere
pathway for the commerce ofthe West;
that their franchises shall not be applied
as SO many instruments to hinder our de-
yclepment and delay our prosperity; that
our people shall receive the same consid-
Grafton and fair dealing accorded to those
OF neiehboring States; that there shall be
no greater charge for freight or passengers
for o shorter than longer distance, in the
\ same direction, and that for all persons
there shall be the same facilities and the
same price for like services by the aboli-
ton and prevention Of every species Of
extortion and discrimination.
Weshall insist, also, in common justice
to all tax-paying persons, natural and cor.
porate, that the unlawful evasion Of taxes
by the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the Balti-
more Il Ohio railroad companies, so long
and so successfully practiced in the past,
shall not be repeated; and that they shall
pay their taxes for the support Of govern
ment-state, county and district-fully,
and without compromise, Just the same as
all others are required to do.
It Is to be hoped, too, that our Legisla-
ture will enact such laws as may be nee
essary to effectually prohibit the distribu-
ton Of railroad passes to public officers.
and members OF political conventions,
concerning which this State has not es-
capped experience OF an exceedingly in
