SIR:

SIR:
Allow me the privilege Of your col
umns to say a word about the sGreat cen

For sUme time past, l have travelled
the Pittsburgh route, and sent nv pro.
duce, and received my goods by the
Pennsylvania improvement; and wa.
clearly of the opinion thai this route
possessed advantages over all o hers, be
tween the East and the West, both IN
time and money, two very desirable oh.
lleets with us western men-but hearing
so much said in favor Of the Wheeling
route, by them who have recently come
over 1t, | was induced to give it a trial.
! shipped a quantity Of lard about 20
days ago at Cincinnati for New York.
by the central route, and a few DAYS ac-
forwards | followed it, intending 10 po
and make sale OF it, and purchase NV
goods by the time it arrived. When
| arrived here, | called on ny forward

"Sir, your lard went on yesterday. -
Well, the lard being on the way. Sc,

For tho Wheeling Times.
TO Y,

AS fair play is ajewel, | do not com.
plain CT you for publishing IN Wing
papers the Governors a~nti,aholition
speeches, though | think you were a
little nervous when you pronounced that
some men took a iendish pleasure in
the prospect of having an abolition Gov.
e~rnor." But, Mr.. Wharton, as you did
not publish the speeches Of Cover
nor Mcdowell which prove that he
formerly, at least held and advocated
abolition sentiments, thought it rath-
err strange that you should be called on
by y to publish the counter part. Why
did not Y call upon the Richmond
Wing who had Offered TO publish the
extract he favored us with through your
useful paper? Then, at least, the JUS
tiee would have been done. Of giving TO
the same readers both sides Of The GoU-
erRor. As il now is, your readers have
one side and the readers Of the Wing
the other side Of his excellencv. /
have Mr.. Times, since X has began the
matter, halfa notion, TO ask that you give
your readers both sides Of Mr.. Mellow.
ell. | am the more inclined TO do this
as the Richmond Enquirer aud other
loco foco papers in the State had
the n 10 refuse TO publish Mr..
Clay's late speech ON this same alb.
sorbinC question. These Democrats
o%(iener, than they say their prayers, are
charging Mr.. Clay with AboIitionism,
and yet they refuse to publish his
speeches on the subject.
fit is right for Dir. Richie and other
Democratic editors 10 suppress the noble
speech Of MIR. Clay in vindication Of
hi mself and the South? Is il wrong for
wing papers 10 print the speeches which
a loco foco Governor, just elected, made
in the legislative hall Of the State, con
tanning ultra abolition sentiments
which is the most Ubiquitous act Of in
justice towards u public man, to publish
his speeches or TO refuse 10 publish
them? Please Mr.. y, while your hands
in give Richie a brush too.
FAIR PLAY.
Our answer to Fair Play is to be found in The
fact that We hold ours.lf above ~ollowrn ing the loco
focos and their presses in any Misrepresentation or
even i%niaking advantage OF the false steps, they,
ia 'hsir chieanery and double-dealing, commit.

A HISTORICAL PoINT.-Mr. Bancroft,
In a recent lecture in Boston, on the bat
tie Of Bunker's hill, stated that, after
much research, he had arrived at the
conclusion that Col. Prescott, not Gen.
Putnam, was the commander; that Put
nam left the lines early in the day for
the purpose Of procuring reinforcements
and did not return until late in the day,
when he came without them, and then
nothing saved him from a reprimand
from General Washington, but the lact
thai he was not in command during the
day.
