Editors IuteIligcHCcr:
In the StOubenvillC Gazette Of May 1st
appears under the head Of personals the
following: "Tho Wheeling ISTELLIGEE-
GER, speaking Of the GGiettE's interview
with the great Love, says: we observe
that Robert Love paid flying tripto his
home at Steubenville on Friday last and
was extensively interviewed by the Ga
ss'te reporter. The immensely Of Roberts
labors and attendant results appear to
great advantage in this interview. Some
little credit-not great deals given
TO Providence M sort Of auxiliary to
Robert. The Ga=stic reporter ihtimates
that sOme Of the Steubenville reclaimed
are weakening and backsliding."
In.reply let me say briefly that the
Aforesaid interview is all true with one
exception, and that one exception is that
il never took place, and only emanated
IRON the giant intellect Of my friend Mat
tack, and yet 1t contained some things TO
which subscribe most heartily, partiCu-
larly that portion in reference to some
people in Steubenville, who would fairly
glory over the death Of any movement
rather than see it prosper, unless they
could be recognized in it rs the "Great

inaugurated the movement here on
last Friday evening, and after visiting
my home returned here on Tuesday last,
and will probably remain hero for the
next two weeks. The meetings here have
been series Of grand successes, the
Opera House, with a seating capacity Of
thirteen hundred, being completely
iammed every night. The three meetings
here have resulted in thirteen hundred
signers to the pledge. We have one Of
the best choirs in the country, composed
Of fifty female voices, and girls, too, who
are not afraid TO open their mouths and
letit out. Under the leadership Of Prof.
T, C. O'Kane, they fairly make the build
ing ring. With Gods blessing this great
tidal wave Of temperance will sweep on
and on until peace and Joy sEall reign in
the once des0late and darkened homes
throughout this nation OF ours. Will
write you again should anything occur
that would be Of interest to the readers Of
the old reliable INTELLIoENCER.
Yours very truly, Bon Love.
