The IuteIIieencer's Bir.hday.


onthemorningo August "a, 1852, the
wheeling Daily Intelligeneer made It's
frst bow to the public, and this morn
ing enters upon its forty-eighth year
OF existence; up to within two years of
a half century 1t has been visiting the
homes Of the people Of this city and of
its friends in the counties of what are
now West Virginia. Eastern Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania.
The Intslllgencer was not as modern
in 1852 as It Is to-day, and has steadily
improved from year to until 1t now has
all modern facilities. In politics 1t
was a Wing advocate. supporting Wing
principles, aud at the time of Its crea-
ton, from the first number, issued in
the midst of a national campaign, 1t
supported the. Wing ticket and plat
form. General Winfield Scott was the
candidate for President, and the Intel
gilencer's leading editorial on the day
following It's birth announced It's sup
port OF the platform and the nominee
OF the Baltimore national convention.
The point that we make on this forty
seventh birthday of the Intelligencer,
and the occasion of It's entry on the
forty-eIshth year. is that, on reading
the first paper In the file Of the frst
year, we are able to say conscientIonsly
that 1t has kept the faith pledged in
the lending editorial which introduced
the new paper to the public, In that
article the editorial outlined the policy
and the programme of the new daily.
II declared that I'VE shall at all times
be ready TO hear and to have a proper
discussion In our columns Of all Ques-
tons OF public and political nature"
The article was too long to quote
here. but 1t was all in the line Of boom
ing Wheeling and her business, the
town. at the time, judging from the
national election returns OF that year.
containing a population Of about eight
or nine thousand people. the total vote
beine about 1900. The editorial men
TONED continued on the line indicated.
and said, among other things Of I'M
portance: your country is everywhere
developed, your resources are becom-
ing more enlarged and expanded. CNote
that the Intelllgencer was even then
nm .expansionlst.'O Your facilities for
communicating with every portion Of
the Union win soon be almost perfect.
Your trade must Increase In the ratio
Of your other improvements. and your
population must be quadrupled In a
short time. Amid prospects like these
we cast our tent among you"
The edItoria! was quite lengthy but
this Is enough about it. As the Intel
llgencer rounds up the last two years
Of the half century of its life
great events viii occur. 1t will
maintain and not depart one bit
from the policy which was announced
forty-seven years ago, It was broad
and liberal policy. based on fairness to
Its readers and patrons. and confidence
In the magnificent capacity Of this
great country. Amid present prospects
the fnteifigeneer extends Its good will
to you. and sends cordial wish for
long life and prosperity among you.
