Greeley gone back to Copper

We haveinot scrutinized the columns OF
the New York Independent much Of late,
and hence cannot speak with entire conf
dence as to the correctness of the state
ment in the Hartford CONN Times, that
"GarELY is breaking the ice for peace
One thing We do know, however, and every
we'll informed political readerin the country
knows it, that GREELY was originally OPP
posed to the war along with CHASE and
other prominent Abohtionists, the one be-
lieving the South ought not, and could not
be whipped back, the other that if 1t could
be it was not worth the trouble. We con
fidsntly expect the Radicals will be side
by side with Moncure CONWAY, and VAL
LANDrGHAM's plan of Withdrawing the ar
mics from the South be supplemented with
plan to disbaud them altogether, Adolf,

The New York Express says cit is pleasant,
it is more than pleasant, to be able to say
good word of the President, when so sell
dom, SO very seldom, we have an opportu-
nifty to say anything but ill., This is in
reference to the Presidents action in the
Missouri case. We suppose ScHoFIELD
and GAMBLE feel pretty much the same
way. The President has too long acted
upon the principle laid down for the unfor-
tunate General when he sent him where he
would come in contact with jim LANE & Co..
namely ito please nobody" Let him try
again to please good men, and he may be
better pleased with himself. Try it, ADRA,

Then came the tug of war. Over an
hour was spent in discussing the matter;
during which time positions were defined
personal explanations were freely madef and
for time an interesting scene was pre-
scented.

FoRla long time it has been considered
an evidence OF disloyalty for any individual
to believe that the State of West Virginia
was not Constitutionally formed. Post
Master General MONTGOMERY BLAIR ap-
proved the Presidents signing the Bill that
made us',a State, and still regards the whole
thing as farce. We have never yet heard
that he was considered traitor on that
account. We have no disposition to &C
back of the record now soemnly made by
the different departments of the Govern
ment il our favor, but simply think it In
Justice to call loyal man traitor because

TERMS OF DAILY PAPER.
The Editor of the Wheeling
Intelligencer turning Cop.
perhead....He commits the
s objectionable Sin.

Since the reign of terror in this country
commenced there has been great hazard In
saying anything, even if preceded by the
thrice thinking prescribed in the old pre-
capt. It has even been dangerous to think
in some places so thorough has been the
Government espionage. One word has been
under especial ban, word We all delighted
once to speak, word that stood for much
that was dear to us, indeed for the very
palladium of our liberties. No one who
was heard to utter it even in a whisper, or
who unwittingly wrote it down upon
piece of paper, was sure of escaping Fort
Lafayette, or that he would not be sent
forthwith to Dixie land. That word is
"Constitutien."
There are however better times upon us,
or least they are approaching.

"Dinna ye hear the Slogan
The Cumpbells are q coming"


In Yesterdays Intelligencer, the grave In
hlligencer of this city, we actually find an
article urging the Legislature not to en-
croach upon the Constitution of the U. 5!
The occasion of this remarkable admonition
was the fact of there being a Confiscatlon
bill before the West Virginia House of
Delegates. Note the following striking
passage from the article referred to. The
italicising is ours-with the exception OF
the words ''supreme" and "or loaos."l
"Congress is limited in its legislation by the
Constitution of the United States, and that
the same Constitution, and the laws made
in pursuance thereof, are supreme, amy
thing in the constitution or laws OF any
state to the contrary Notwithstanding"
We wonder if our contemporary slept
soundly last night after committing such an
indiscretion. Why he has actually said
"Constitution,n Let him beware how he
repeats the dangerous experiment, or some
actor will announce at Washington the fact,
and will be second "Duke of Buckingham"
summariIy disposed of by the Kingly order
soft with his head" This would be a
calamity both to the oracular editor and the
community at large.
The Legislature ought to be profoundly
grateful to the InteNigencer for its kindness
in pointing out to them the fact that Con-
gress passed a Confscation bill on the 10th
of July 1862. Many Of them probably had
never heard of it before. Hear how kind
the Mentor of our Legislative body is
He says:
"We have quoted more of the section
bearing on confscstion than we had need
Co. but we desired to give the matter in d.
tail as much as possible, in order that mem
bers of the Legislature might see that all
the persons affected by the bill now before
the House of Delegates are included In the
act of Congress"
We hope now they 'can see it,
The reasons urged against the House Bill
are cogent enough, even from the stand
point occupied by the writer OF the I"teEf'-
qencsr's article; for the Legislation of
State manifestly cannot contravene law
of the Congress of the United States,
but even had there been no statute law COW
ering the ground proposed by the bill IN
question, slight glance at the Constitn-
ton would have saved our wise Legislators
the time wasted in their attempt to sub
vert rights beyond their grasp.
As the editor of the hteItgeRcer has
discovered that there is Constitution, and
that "Congress is limited" by it, and as he
also is learned in the "statutes at large
especially the one which was passed the
10th day of July. 1862, We commend to
bun as work peculiarly suited to his pres
snt frame of mind, the comparing of the
ACT of Congress referred to with the Consti
tuition and perhaps he will be able to read
the National Assembly at Was hington
lesson upon the uuconstitutionality of the
very act be now so vchemently throws be-
fore the wheels of attempted State Legisla-
ton here.
