Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1852-1859, 1853-08-03

the london Leader, which represents the advance
ed Democratic opinion of Englend, has some spec
ulations which are curious enough. For example:
stIn the very restless community of the United
States if we may interpret outward proceedings
from so great distance, two consplracleS appear
TO be going on, of rather strange kind. One IS,
the movement Of Russian agents to promote feel
ing of hostility against Great Britain. We have
heard the names of persons thus engaged, and one
gentleman has already been publicly designated in
the journals as the author OF some articles That
have appeared in the Union of Washington, en-
deavoring 10 representthe Gar as the object of adj
mration, and as suitable alliance forthe Repub-
lie of the West. Apart from anyqueStion of Brit
iSh interest," our American readers will trust us for
regarding any such proposition with leellngo re-
vulsion on the score of American Sympathies alone
The endeaVOr TO represent that there is any SINH
iarity whatsoever between the institutions OF Rus
sia and those of the United States, could enter the
head only of dishonest intriguer, or some crazy
aboIitioniSt. We do not know whether the per-
sons who have been named to rs are actually IN
the pay of Russia or not. 1t may be matter oil
speculation; it is possible even that, with some
strangely eccentric minds, it may be n matter OF
taste. But that tie regularly appointed agents OF
Russia are spread over every quarter OF the GLOBE
is fact often asserted with confidence, and con-
firmed to our own knowledge by remarkable Incl
dents. In no class of society. in no town, In no
political party, can we be sure Of not encounter
ing some one serving the purposes Of the autocrat.
The reference in this passage TO the Washington
Union is very charitable, and does honor to the be-
neyolence of the writer. In this part of the coun-
try it is generally supposed that the articles COM
mending the institutions and policy oil the United
States, were written for the Union by some Rus
sian agent, but the SuppoSton of the Leader, that
they were the work OF "cIazy abolitoniSt," is
certainly worth consideration. If that polntShould
be made out, it exonerates the ULion from the
charge of cOrruptioE SO far as the publication oil
its eulogium on Russian institutions is concerned.
That crazy abolitIoniss do sometimes write for that
print we have always considered extremely prob
able, and on one occasion, year or two since, we
CHANGED to light upon some things OF very aSo-
IitioniSt character in the Union, of which gave
public notice at the time. The charge of aboli-
tioniSm, it IS remarkable, was not then denied or
paIliated by the Union.
Still this point on which we should not judge
raShly. That Russia has her agents in all coun-
tries where she has anything to gain bylnfuenclng
the proceedings of Legislatures or the acts of eX-
eculive magistrates, or public opinion through the
journals, is true beyond all question She has had
them since the days Of Kotzebue. Travel where
you will in Europe, you will find plausible, shrewd,
quiet peTsOnages, natives of the country, of whom
the remark is made that they rot free from the
suspicion of being Russian spies. OF course they
do not wear the badge Of tt cir vocation on their
breasts. If anything is to be gained TO the inter
eStS of Russia, any mischief 10 her interests 10
be prevented by the employment VI this class in
America, they will aSSureuly be hired 10 write for
our journals.
AT the same time we should be sorry 10 do any
thing which might deprive the aboitioniStS oftheir
due credit in this matter An abolitioniSt, III fit
of insanity, might, we are aware, compose an Gu
logum on the Russian government and Russian
policy, and recommend strict alliance between
the United States and that country. The UnloniS
like the sea (which takelh from every mans
hanG;' anything which is tolerally well-sound-
ing is admitted into 1t, whether it be sense or nCn
sense. Perhaps it will be fair TO the several claim
Eorf r haNyi t,trjta
question, if we compound the matter and suppose
that they were written by crazy aboltionst and
revised b. Russian agent-N. Y. Post.
How to visit the City and see the Crys-
tai Palace.
There are many thousands who will and many
more who should visit our city during the ensuing
autumn with an eye especially 10 the Crystal Pal
ace. To very many of these, the saving even of
two three dollars in the expense is an important
consideration. As We are DESTROYS that not men
only, but women and children shall extensively
share in the pleasure and instruction 10 be derived
from such visit, we offer some suggestions 10 our
country friends looking to the point of economy.
Those who do not need to beSo frugal will be glad
of the increased opportunity thus afforded TO their
less Thrifty neighbors.
There will of course be special or extra trains
run from almost every point OF the compaSS-we
presume fIom as far as Bangor in the East, from
montreal and OgdenSburg in the North, from Cleve
land, if not from Chicago and Cincinnati, in the
West, and from Baltimore, and perhaps from Rich
mond, in the South, expressly TO bring passengers
10 the Exhibition and return them 10 their homes.
On these trains, the fare charged to those who sea-
sonably procure tickets will not exceed half the
charge by the regular trains. Weare sure the Cit
liens of anycountv where such Excursion Tickets
are not spontaneously offered may easily obtain
them by applying at the nearest Railroad Office OF
any account and bargaining for the conveyance OF
party oil not less than two or three hundred. If
five hundred 10 a thousand can be found 10 unite
in the Excursion, the charge per head will be still
lower. And those who provide themselves with
something 10 eat by the way will find the comfort
of the journey decidedly enhanced. en-minute
meals, bolted undei continual apprehension that
the train will start and leave you before you have
eaten enough, are among the miSerieS Of modern
travel.
In ali cases, all the residents of a town or viii
Iage who mean to come at all should come tOgeth-
er if possible, and if all who are coming from
county can do SO, the pleasure of a trip will be
senSibly heightened And, as there are many who
will not prefer 10 stop at expensive hotels, 1t Will
be well to send competent person who knows the
city day or two ahead to engage lodgings or boa'd
as may be preferred for many of the party will
not stop with friends and wish 10 be eligby and at
the same time economically located. Though 1t
should be necessary TO divide the party, this will
still insure decided saving.
We urge those who may come to giue themselves
time. None who visit our city from distance of
some hundreds Of miles, and may never come again,
should stint themselves to less than three days. and
they can spend week here most proftably. The
Crystal Palace itself can hardly berun inside
of that time, and there are many things beside
which will richly reward attention. Save expense
where YOU can, so to let your whole family come
if possible, but do not hurry home the first night
imagining you have seen the city or the Exhibition,
Tor three days will only enable you 10 glance the
latter without giving any heed to the former. In
prove your stay 10 the utmost, but do not waste
bo time and moneyU On the journey, yet 90 home
without seeing anything. Take your time.-N
