The wellsburg Herald.

We took occasion few dayssince to intimate to
our neighbor of the We lsburg Herald, that he had
inadvertently appropriated portion of one of our
articles The editor OF that paper out in quite
lengthy editorial in which he admits the appropri-
alton, but claims the right to do SO, and says that
Gin such cases is right to steal and be stole from,
and he intends TO do it." We presume that the
editor can very properly declare his pilfering
Intentions but we do not think he should attempt
to control others, and hesitate not to assure
him that in such cases certainly shall not steal
though we may be "'stoIe from" His instance
from the Gazette, we have no concern with, though
our recollection is that the Gazette mercy gave
the portion alluded to as an item OF news, but he
can doubtless answer for himself. The article of
ours which the Herald thinks he had right to
steal, was Us much ours as any article could be
relating to public improvements. 1t was written
in our words. and strange to say the editor of
the Herald in many instances followed and incor-
porated into his article whole paragraphs, amoun-
ting TO bout half a column, without making in
the many change whatever. While we cannot fully
admit the force ofthe HeralPs premises, by which
he proved that the article could not have been
or ginal Nth him, because must have gotten it
second hand we nevertheless admit the conclusive
having gotten it second hand from us. AS to that
sse agree fully. But when the Herald charges US
then wit6using stolen goods, he makes charge as
g.atnitous as unjust, and one which comes with a
peculiar grace from one who acknowledges him.
selfguiIty of the theft he would impute to us. We
must be allowed however to protest against the
reasoning of the Herald, by which he convicts US
oil ignorance because heis himself ignorant, and of
his intimation of our using stolen goods because
he does verify he would convict the whole corps
editorial if his guilt was to be proof of guilt in
others. He shall certainly have no occasion to
exercise his profered forbearance towards us, rs
we have not yet, and hope not to have any ooca-
sion to "conglomerate' from his articles, but shall
wAef,-we use them take them in the "conglomera-
ted. form in which they reach us. We are per-
feCy willing to put editor of the Herald to the
proof of his unfounded charge, and shall be saved
the necessity of showing his appropriation. by his
