The Wheeling Intelligencer.

Every farmer, every mechanic, every cltI-
zen in fact, of West Virginia, Western Penn
syIvania and Eastern Ohio, should have q
copy OF the ISrELIIGESCER In his family
either the Daily, the Tri-Weekly or tho
Weekly, according to the mail eonveniences
OF each subscriber.
This summer will witness an exciting no
litical campaign in NIL three of these Suites, as
1t will, indeed, throughout the country. In
West Virginia we are to elect next October
Governor. an Auditor. a Secretary OF Stale. a
Treasurer, an Attorney General, a Judge OF
the Court OF Appeals, members OF the Legts-
ty Officers. We have before us one OF tho
most important elections occurring Since we
becamea State in the Union.
Our neIghbors In Pennsylvania also elect
Governor and general State ticket, and In
Ohio they elect Congressman and members Of
the Legislature.
Therefore, 1t is that the people generally OF
the three States need to keep themselves
thoroughly posted up on the progress OF our
national affairs.
Thegreat problem of Reconstruction Is to
receive definite and permanent shape this
summer and fan. Congress will possibly re-
main in session for several months yet In
decd It Is suggested that 1t may not adjourn
Mt all. The relations OF the Government to-
ward the seeded States arc OF an unPrece-
dented character, and In the successful settle
ment of our difficulties are bound up the
future veal or woo of the country. No ma
ton was ever before situated Us are these
United States to-day. We have an immense
debt and a large disahected population to
manage. The discussions In Congress and In
the public Journals of the country on the
wide rangeof topics involved in these issues
will be OF the INST importance to every citt-
zen What shall We do with the rebels, po-
litically7 What shall we do with the negroes?
What shall wedo in the matter OF national
nnanees7 These are great questions. Read
ing and thinking men must become absorb
ed in them.
A good paper Is therefore a necessity of the
times In every household. No man who APP
preciates the educational and developing In
huenees OF newspaper among his children
win be without one. It is a constant school
totheir minds, and tho cheapest teacher In
the word. He who does not afonl his chill
dren the advantages OF n newspaper fails to
discharge principal duty as parent.
In order to put the INrELLIGENcERw within
the reach OF every citizen, and in order 10 Of
terto every friend of the paper an induce
ment to solicit subscribers among his friends
and neishbos, we propose from now untn
the end Of the great campaign, In October
