J A He flection upon If h Members by the ' Morgan town Star?Mynterious In hlnuatlouM Couceruiug A Secret In fluence. ' We nrc of the sincere opinion that if ever ft people were cursed with Conven tions it is tlie people of the Stnte of Vir ginia. First, we elected delegates to a Slate Convention by ft majority of over 00,000 votes to keep the State in the Un ion. This Convention violated its faith to the people, and seceded. Then a portion of the people, whose interests and feel ings were directly opposed to this action, called a Convention to meet at Wheeling, to hum a separate State of Western and j Northwestern Virginia, to remain in the j Union. This movement was the mostj spontaneous and unanimous uprising of j the people which we have ever witnessed,? and the Convention itself was almost a j ! mass meeting of the people instead of a j representative body. A Convention com- j posed of over four hundred and forty del- j egates, representing only about thirty I counties, and in a country rather sparsely i settled and without conveyances, is a scene j not often witnessed in this or any other j country. The personal a of the Conven- i lion too, was superior. Conventions are generally composed of political wire- ? workers and schemers, and if one attends ( their annual meetings he will always find j the same old faces, working for the loaves j and fishes. T?wt this majority Convention j was not of such. It was composed or the j frugal farmer, the hard working mechanic, | the enterprising merchant and manufactu- i rer, who had a'.l been toiling and suffering ; for years against the oppression of a gov- ? eminent which did not foster their inter- } ests, but instead, burdened them with une j qual taxes and unequal laws. For years : i they had been despondent for all was dark j j before them. But so soon as the State j i Convention hadatlempled todragthein in- , j to the whirlpool of secession, the light : I began to appear; they could see in the dis- j | tance n plan to rid themselves of I I their oppressors, and once more be. free. '' He/ice, they, arose almost' as I one man, made strong by consciousness of ? ' right, and integriiy*ot purpose, and det??r- ' j mined to sever their old State allegiance, j : legally if possible, but forcibly if they must. ; Their champion was the Hon. John S. Car- ? jlile, and most gallantly did he fight their j ! battles. .But there was a conservative par- j I ty who thought that was not the oppor i tune time to make a separate state, and they made a gallant stand, but were quite ; in the minority. Everybody thought the i ! "prompt action" party had the majority, j and we were going to have the new State, i . "New Virginia." under the talisma'nic in- ; ; fluenco ot Cur)life's eloquence, became the j i rallying cry for nil. lint suddenly a change j | came over the spirit of the Convention ; j Some unseen agent was at work, audsoon J the conservatives had the majority. Car ! lile, though feeling hopelessly in the mi nority, fought them like a lion : but event- : uaily very gracefully and patriotically sue- ; climbed to the superior force. The uew : State men were discouraged, but they j ; were told it was impolitic to take action j till we knew whether the ordinance of se- j [cession wus passed or not. They w?re ; ? told to go home, work and vote against the ordinance, and if it did pass, to elect j ' delegates to a Convention to he held on ! the 11th of June, and then we would make ' the new Slate. "New Virginia and the i Union" became the rallying cry. The I | shouts of our patriotic mountaineers were j heard on every hilltop and in every valley, j for "New Virginia and the Union." The \ eleclion was held, and an almost linnni- \ mons vote was polled against the ordinance j in the trans-Allegheny counties down to , the Kentucky line. In this territory the i majority against the ordinance ot seces sion was near forty thousand, though there was a majority in its favor in the whole ? State. Then our people, finding that they j had been out-voted in the Stnte, elected and appointed del??gutesto the Convention, according to the arrangements at the for mer Wheeling Convention, to make a tem porary government for New Virginia. The delegates assembled in Wheeling at the appointed time. But much to their sur prise Mr. Carlile, who was their champion of the new state, when there were legal I objections to foiming its got'ernment, now j that the objection had been obviated, had i become the champion of the Old State par | ty. The country delegates struggled, one | I refusing to take his seat because they were | not going to form a new state. But th#*ir i labors were in vain. The same bid j den but mighty power which influenced the former Convention had wound its folds, nnaconda like, around tlm Convention, ; and one by one they had yielded up their j opinions and declared they were what, they knttc they were not. Just look at it. ! Delegates sent to a Convention to prevent j the secession of a State, and they caused j its secession. Against this action a por- . tion of the people rebel, and call a Con- j ventioo to form a New State, and that Con- I vention, without any authority of the peo- ; pie whom they represent, but. really in j violation "bf their wishes Jind against the j wishes of 10-20ths of the people of the j people of the remainder of the Slate, de- j dare themselves to be the State of Virgin- j ia. Louis Napoleon, when he metamor phosed himself from a President to an j ? Emperor, was not half such an usurper as j ! this present Wheeling Convention; because ; j Napoleon had the people with him, but this Convention is acting in direct opposi- . tion to the will of \0r20ths.of the people^ of Virginia,'f<3r wfto:n thfey arc preteogling i to act. t But our object in writing this article s* , to expose tho secret power which has con trolled both these Wheeling Conventions, aud we alkali proceed to tho task. We thank our fortune that we were not a mem ber of this Convention. If we had bt*en we presume we should have succumbed to the majority, being ignorant of tl e power behind the throne. But having been in the city of New York with our eyes and ears open for uearly a month, we at last discovered the monster, aud will he there by euubled to do some service to tho peo ple of Western Virginia. There are per haps twenty millions of dollars of Virginia bonds oicned in New York. These bond holders Tenow that this war is going to des troy Eastern Virginia, and that the burden of the drbl will have to come off the West.? Hence they are opposed to a division of the State, aud in secret concoct a plan to prevent it. They persuade some of the members of the Cabinet that it would be in consistent for the Administration to acknowledge Western Virginia, and they not knowiug nor caring special ly for our interests, fall into the snare.? Soon the newspapers of New York, influenced through the same chapnel. take up the cudgel; then all thq??onqtcy papers follow suit, and public opinion is satisfied that it would be inconsistent for tfie admin istration to acknowledge the independence of Western Virginia, as it would be ac knowledging the right of secession. The Wh eqliog fntclliyencer aud the Wellsburg j Herald, and other-papers iu this section, yield to the force of opiniou. These bond holders have their agents at Wheeling aud had them at the last Convention. The most influential members hike up the cry. Carlile, who was the champion of New Virginia, raises the war-whoop for the old hulk. The inountaiu delegates fight for the New State, but eventually yield.? They are told that the administration wants us to claim to be the whole State, and if we insult the administration its for- , ccs will be withdrawn from this section andthe secessionists will eat us up. In this manner their fears are worked upon . and eventually the Convention is almost unanimous in claiming to be Old Virgin- , ia. The first effect of this i?. to assume the State debt which is $50,000,000. You cannot claim to be the whole State to-day, find repudiate it to-morrow wfren they want yon to pay the debt of the State.? The New York Times, under the apprehen sion that this Convention had adopted a provisional government for New Virginia, said that if we had pursued the other plan i)f claiming to be the State, we should have been bound for the whole debt, or repudi ation. In one case we would have been . bankrupt, in the other disgraced and with out credit. Another effect is to excite the real State government?John Letcher & Co?against j us. ? If we had set up for ourselves, and i took the position that we were only going j to defend our own soil, we should have had no trouble except with the few seces sionists iu our mid.?t. But to assume to ; be the State, you invite a tremendous force ? in our midst to exterminate us. If we had i taken the position of "Let ns alone," the .1 Coufeds would not have troubled us at all. But we liaVe not time nor space to dirf- j enss this question in all its bearing, but do j say in all sincerity and yindor.,11) the peo ple'of Western Virginia, tlmt ?he scheme is oni to defrand them of their rights, and that if it is carried fully into elFect, th?*y will never get their separate State at all? but on the other hand, will lie oppressed more than ever. We do not believe that any of your delegates are guilty of any wrong intent in this matter, but believe they have been wheedled iuto it. We would not say a word against any member of the Wheeling Convention. We respect those with whom we are acquainted ; but j we must say that they have evinced to the j world that they are anything but States- j men. And now you say?what shall we do? j We say call another Convention immediate- : ly, anQ send delegates to it who will carry j out your wishes; or else call meetings and | instruct your present delegates to carry out your views. Be prompt, or you- arc sold forever. Yon have been shouting for New Virginia; let us have it. The legal objec tions tirgeil against it are all fudge, a3 we have been informed by lawyers of abilitj* and experience. Let New Virgiuia once morQjaeihe rally ing cn.
