We have already so frequently indicated our
Interference for the Virginia side of the river from
welsyiIle to this city, that Se will hardly be par
,Ione,l for repeating them We do. We have al
vavs been in favor Of Virginia, her citizens and
her interests, against all the world and the rest oil
mankind;,' and had We no personal feelings upon
thisouestion, twhile we frankly confess we hnve0
we should unhesitatngly other things being equal
20 for Virginia route. But in the present iu-
stance we have everything to strengthen US in the
convictions we have always entertained and long
since exuressed upon this question. First We have
the PROMOTION of the interests Of Brooke and Han
cock ON theone hand, and their prostEation, and
the building up of the opposite counties in Ohio,
ON the other. We haxethe interest and advance
mentof WelIsburg on the one hand, and the in
teres.and advancement of In Grange in oppose
ton to her; and we but express our candid con-
viction when we say, that if the road passes down
the Ohio side. La Grange will be what WelIsburg
ought to be, and .WsRsGurg become lOkat In Grange
is This is a result as certain as anything future;
and the question with us is shall we aid in p1odn
cling such result, or shall we not rather aid and
assist our own citizens and our own State. Were
there then, no Wheeling considerations in the mat
ter, we should uHhesitatingly advocate the Viz
ginia shore for these. and other reasons. n
Asst is, however, Wheeling interests, in our
Judgment are Intimately identified with the Virgin
ia sh0Ee and we thus advocate this project from
every motive, whether of feeling of interest orof
State pride. We have no doubt but that the road
must be made to Wheeling, and the route depends
upon the energy AID activity of the citizens of the
rivaIIoutes. We learn that WelIsbuHg is up and
acting in this Ipaltet, that they have had large
meeting on the subject and have determined 10 have
the road. They haze subscription papers out,
have raised large amount of stock, and are still
working. VIII not the other portions Of Brooke
and Hancock do the same, and take the road which
benefits them, and give up the project of road
which will,biseCt the counties and drain Wells
burg of whatshe has, while il can profit only for
eign corporations and capitalists WOnh it not be
welIfor the citizens Of Brooke and Hancock to
meet and express their views 20 theiE delegate on
tlis matter. We know him well and know that
he Eail reflect the wishes Of his constituents when
asceraned, and therefore they should speak plain
ly pro and con and decide f. themselves. Tewill
not conceal the fact that citizens opposed,
andOught to be opposed. to the Steubeuville right
of way, but NE firmly believe that three-fourths of
them are ia feyor Of the Virginia side Of the river
provided no conReGtion is sought with the Steu-
benVille and Ristsburgh project. 40
We are ready then to go heart and hand for this
road through Brooke and Hancock, and we are
well assured that we should all work as we hear
that the Steubeayille road is making up 10 the
Wellsyille road, and.now attempting to make Turns
and oEerbid the Virginia shore AcTIox then is
the word, and we hope that our citizens and those
Of Brooke and Hancock will go al together witha
purpose. firm and undivided coaneils for this road
so mutually advantageous to them and so condu-
ciEeaO the prosperity of the etizenS of the three
eoprtie4, The road must be made, and when shall

might be prepared by gas Jets alone, with little trUu

the stains to answer bells, might be dispensed with
by internal telegIsphs. But increased facilities
for people to have all things near them, would
