than that ofpatronizing an entertainment
that promises to be both pleasing and
profitable in its character. We refer to the

need to remind those who heard his

OF gracefully and impressively dispensing

visit to Wheeling for years, and he is here

of the Republican pioneer editors of

on our sacred soil in 1856. We don't refer
