So the negroes of West Virginia were not freed by Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. The first and only time that we have any record of Mr. Lincoln being questioned about the legality of the formation of West Virginia was at Hampton Roads conference, in February, 1865, when the Confederate State Senator R. M. T. Hunter (see Stephen's History of the War Between the States, Vol. II., page 616) put the question personally and directly to Mr. Lincoln to know what would be the result of a restoration of the Union, according to his idea, as to Western Virginia: Would the Old Dominion be restored to her ancient boundaries, or would Western Virginia be recognized as a separate State in the Union?

With their Enfield rifles and other military equipments, one-third of this nucleus did, in fact, decamp. General Hunter's force succeeded in recovering at least five of these fugitives from freedom. Taken when fleeing toward the mainland, occupied by rebels, they were placed in irons and confined at the Rip Raps. Fugitives from freedom, encountering every peak wild beasts have that. Because they can rise no higher they are wild beasts. Predatory wealth has been built up by predatory laws. Tax Eaters and tax-payers.

on resolutions approving the Crittenden propositions, and by the adoption of resolutions in the New York and Massachusetts Legislatures, (doubtless to be followed by others,) offering men and money for the war of coercion. We have thus placed before you the facts and conclusions which have become manifest to us from this post of observation where you have placed us. There is nothing to be hoped from Congress; the remedy is with you alone, when you assemble in sovereign Convention. We conclude by expressing our solemn conviction that prompt and decided action by the people of Virginia in Convention will afford the surest means, under the providence of God, of averting an impending civil war, and preserving the hope of reconstructing a Union already dissolved.
