Who Edits the Register :

The Wheeling Register is very con.
venient sort OF newspaper. Nobody
in particular seems 10 edit the concern.
One man owns it today, and another to.
morrow. 1t runs here and there and
everywhere, like an old wagon that is
ready TO fall to pieces. One day it says
something on the Capital question, which
while not more inconsistent with its
former record than forty other things
it has said, yet it 80 express.

ton aud resentment in this community,
which fact becomes SO apparent to some
person connected with the concern that
he finds it polite and convenient, indeed
absolutely necessary, to come out and re-
pudiate what has been said. This was
the case a few days ago, at the time it
declared, eiitorially, that inasmuch as
Wheeling had stolen the Capital from
Charleston, It would be proper and right
for her to restore the stolen goods at the
election on the 7th Of this month.
Another instance, Of similar kind,
occurred on Wednesday. The individual
who was in charge that JnOrning, If, In.
deed, it is not one and the same person all
the time, came out with pretended pic.
