The reader of these columns la aware that io the current course, of events, we have often had occasion to speak of oar cltytoolemporary, the Pru, newspaper These allusions hart not always been as complimentary as they might have been? Sonietinin the J bate been quite the reverse, for Often the provocatives to bile bare been' very great. At timu, indeed, the demands upon our indlgoatiou have betn so eoor moo? that we have given t.p in despair, like tbe, teamster who drove a load of apples' up a'lob'g abd steep hill and paused oo top ooly to discover to bitinfioite mortification, that the tailgate bad ^wbrked up and the apples all rolled out along the road, and who, after alittle reflection, concluded not to swear about it because be couldn't do justice to the subject. Our readers un derstand, of course, that in all passages that have io any sense risen to the dignity of controversy, there has been nothing per sonal, at leaat oo our part. We deal with our adversary as the representative and em! bodimeut of principles and aims, audio lighting it, Bjtbt the errors, of intent or judgment as they may proye, which it rep resenti and upholds. Newspaper contro versy is far from, pleasant, abd, may seem to sotge, unprofitable, butttta;0f40,0? direct way to deal with questions tbat de mand consideration. There is no proprie tj In goiog five hundred or a thousand miles away to find texts for a discourse when they are thrust right in our faces day by day. Here is where they assail us and here is the place to meet them. We say this iu general terms, for the benefit more particularly, however, of a few who think it a smart and witly iking tosneer at news paper* that see fit to defend what they con ceive to be right principles in sucl. a way msVtttiiv most likely to be effective. At present we haive a few Ibiugs to say about the Prt$i, as the represeotative and champion of what it claims to be political prioclples ?od aims, though we have more thau once repudiated the term "polilicai" as applied to questions relating to the war. We apenta short time yesterday in look ing o.er the files of the Wheeling Union running through that stormy period from the opeoing of the presidential campaign of 1880 down to the accomplishment of the sece?!?jiofvy|fgiin?,autr tfie subseqbeot IfSaSn"--?Vh? ?rbel,l?u Few of out r*"fler?- need be reminded of what the . It was .tbo defomer of the Government at?* jvowed advocate of the rebellion. Having been erected upon the ruins of tbe Argiu and Timet?the one the simon-pure embodiment of all the IMOfoco heresies that have Well nigh ruined the country?the other the Jesuitical hater of every liberal idea or just principle in relation io American politics?the Union by a happy fusion combioed the bad traits of both without any of their redeeming qualities. It was controlled in part by a sharp unscrupulous politician, now in'the rebel Congress, and at that time fully in the secrets or tbe conspiracy then ripening for the overthrow of the Puiled States Government. The conduct of the paper was regulated accordingly. When the campaign of '60 opened it declared for tbe vaadidata of the southern faction, who ia now hcadieg one of the rebel armies. The time bad not come to talk of secession, but it was preparing the way for it. Here are some samples of the way it talked, cboeen almost at random : [From the Union of M*j I7f 1S60.J JL NATIONAL PARTY. For iome years there has been but one national party in this country wtih power enough to be 'utefuL In the crisis now upon us, tbe question to be determined is wheth er our national party is to be rent asunder and reduced to seotional and hostile frag meats. In the presence of sucti a'questidn the minds of men will cease to dwell upon any abstract doctrine. The present and instant future, full of threatening fate, shot opt from our contemplation those distant events which may or may not happen un der this or that principle of abstract right. The principle of nationality in th* Dana erotic party hat become the paramount and overwhelming interest. Without it the Union itkelf is too likely to be rent "from tunet to foundation stone." This was written In contemplation of the disruption of the ?emo<ur*cy;~ and tbe. rfal me*piuj[ Jrf ,U .waji. timplr that; the democracy, wm . ih<^ priy PA?y tl>?} old be made uaeful to the South, and that iu ?npremacy waj paramount to all other question*, national oiity and peace inclu ded. How labaeqoeat development* hare .So with Incipient treaaon in ita heart, the Umiom uaed to prate about aeeUonallam and ' " Northern" faottieija" jmt'ai iu aoeeeuor d&ei. To prcierre the nationality of the daraooracy it was la puy the ooneenatWn Kama and talk about the -Black Republi can" and "the treasonable aeetlonslista or It area .had the audacity ig ?atk ?4?ot the Democracy hartarwjected o ?OH^eritloo of the disuniooUU of the merciless commentator thou art. Here is the way the Union talked about . J -? (Frnm tb* Union of My tSth, 1600.] Even while the. Democratic party has ? Ibeeu engaged in *?i>. straggle of life and ^ death with the treasonable sectionalists of | the North, it has by a sublime exertion of ' patriotism (!) rejected the aid and co-op | tration of the dlsunionists of the South. ' Those facts are sigoal proofs that there is ! one powerfal parly still extant worthy to | administer the affairs of a great Republic, ! because it defends the rights of every sec tion and panders to the passions of none. - It does not fear to risk its ascendency by ; an open and defiant cootest with the gi ' gantic force of Northern fanaticism, or by I withstanding the excesses of Southern re sentment. It is the party of the Sooth I when the Sooth need* defense, of the North j when the North needs defense, and of the * entire Republic always. t How infamously brazen does this declar ation appear in the light which the history ?f two years and a half has thrown upon it. This party robbing the Government it administered, to make war on and break up the Republic it betrayed and whose defend ? er It professed to be ! Yet these are just the pretences of the Dutternut Democracy, and the Wheeling Pre** speaks for it. It might be worth while to mention that the Union was the malignant enemy of a new State here in Western Virginia, just as the Press is now. It foaght it and those who advocated it always, called it treason to the State, and declared that "the worst possible fate that could befall Wbeeliog would be to become the only city of the new State in Western Virginia." If it could by any possibility have survived the events of the spring of I8G1 it would have been aB bitter an enemy of the restored Government too, as the Press is, thongh probably a more honest and open one, for it wonld hardly we think have been State printer. Like it too the Union was the in veterate enemy of every interest of the peo ple in whose midst it had an existence. While the campaign lasted it was all Democracy on the one hand und Black Re publicanism and North* rn fanaticism on the other. But when the Dempcraey was defeated, when "the only party that was powerful enough to be useful" (to the Sontb) was oo more and its disappointed leeches were to be torn away from the body whose life blood they bad sucked?when in short it became a realized fact that the South through the Democracy could no longer role the country and therefore de termined to ruin it, the Union began to play a straoger game. The rights of the States, bad become en dangered, and it began to talk about the superiority of State allegiance to allegiance to the General Government. Then, when South Carolina threatened to secede, it prated about the wroogs of the Southern people, and the remedy of secession. As State after State aecedcd it became bolder aod bolder in its treason, until when the question came before Virginia in the Rich mond Convention, it threw off all reserve, (disguise, it bad none), and boldly advoca ted the right and expediency of secession. After the ordinance passed it became as ut terly reckleis and defiant in its treason as|i' it bad been in Charleston, S. C., instead of Wheeliog, and talked about the sending of rebel troops outfbere to defend us as though we were already in the ?C. S. A. Hero is the way it talked after the aix Gulf States bad seceded, before Texas went; TBS UXI02C. (Prom the Union of Juury 29,1861.) Six week ago the Union contained 33 States. It now embraces only 27. In a few days the number will he but23. IT the Black Republicans persevere in their pres ent policy there will toon be only 18 Slates left. If we wish to complete the destruc tion of the Union we liAve nothing to do but to encourage the Black Republicans and that ia done effectually by every south ern man who makes a tpeecb or gives a vote for "tbe Union as it is without an if or but." We think about enough of that sort of Union saving was done in Virginia last fall considering the resnltd now before us. Let justice be restored and the Union m?y be restored. That is the whole mat ter and therefore the necessity of justice "without an if or but." Note.whata jumble of apparent incon sistencies. Affeotingto deplore the dissolu tion of tl??3Joicm, yet gloating over it all the while, and sneering at those who thought then to make "the Union as it isv a rallying point. Yet it was all tbe work of the Black Repnblicans.just as it is now of the Abolitionists, and the Union could only be "restored?"' by restoring ''justice," which meant then as it meau^ now, accord ing to the vocabulary of the Pre**,.for the country to give op and let the rebel South overrun and role If... On February'1st, '61, the Union said: "The whole trouble now agitating the country grows out of the radical principle of Black Republicanism, that Southern men are not to be treated in tbe Union as equals of Northern States and Northern men." Now, if we had printed that without stating where it came from, and had sub stituted "Abolitionism" for "Black Repub licanism," there is hardly one of our read ers bnt would have sworn it was an extract , from tome late number of the Wheeling Pre**, it is so like the Press* daily utterances. Yet the. Union was an avowed Secession print, while the Pre** claims to out-Herod Herod In its loyalty. Strange, isn't it! - In the issue of February 6th, 1861, the Union says: "We profess to be .the true friends of tk* only kind of Union wt con *t*md" and then in the issue of the 8th says the only condition o>n which the slave States ought to remain in the Union is that they shall have new guarantees for slavery j?thus making the security of slavery par jamottut to tbe safety of the TJoion. This was at a time when slavery wu not en* dan gered except by the a'cts of its own friends. Mow when It is endangered by thaeonsequences of those acts, the Wheel ling Pre?*Puts itself on the same platferm as the tfn*??. It raiaea the cry that slavery la threatened by the administration, and indirectly in a hundred ways that those woo j have done bo .pre fighting forsomethiug Ur more important ilian the Union, *and which entirety overrides all their obligations to it. \ It sayf as plainly as words can speak it ? that slavery is paramount to the Union, ! and that the rebellion must not be put down ' if doing bo would endanger that institution. Yet the Union was an avowed rebel and the Preu holding to the same dogmas, claims to be loyal to the Government ( * The following fnlly shows the spirit that animated the Union : [From the Union of May 2d, 1861J BLiRD PRRKLY. We are glad to set) liow profusely the Northern bankers and capitalists are bleed ing themselves for the benefit of (he rotten, worthless Government they l(ve under/ They are piling gold mountain high and tumbling ii into the romp treasury, which we doubt not sadly needs It. We are in finitely delighted at this routing spectacle of self-phlebotomy, and ardently hope that every vein nnd artery may be struck as deep as the lancet can go. We want above all things to see that foul den of heartless gamblers, Wall street,?cell bled. We want to see it drained of the last drop. It will be all the better for the Sontb. In the end she will huve the gratifactiou of seeing a grand financial and com mercial explosion on the other side of the line that will shiver iuto fragments the power that fed and fattened on her trade nnd then used the money which she had put into its pockets in attempts to enslave her. We wish we could see daily annunciations of tenders from Northern bankers nnd cap. italists to the amount of twenty millions because the more they bleed the weaker they wil! get. If there be such a thing as right eous retribution it is in reserve for these money changers who are just now in league with the ruuip Government that is impri goned in Washington." Such infamous language needs no com ment. All the demoniac spirit of treason lurks in it. The Wheeling Frwr^as never dared to go quite that far; but scores of paragraphs could be drawn from its col. umns, bad we room for them, sneering at the Government and its measures, both financial and military, such as calling its authorized currency "shiuplasters" which exhibit a spirit not a whit better than that of its predecessor.uTbe circumstances have changed. Papers cannot talk now as then with impunity. But all the disposition is manifest. And what is wanting in bold nesa and open defiance is made up in the Jesuitical and almost devilish ingenuity with which treason U disseminated under the fairest pretences of loyalty. In taming over this old record and run niog over these reflections in our mind, and then recurring to the daily teachings of the Wheeling Press, we cannot see for the soul of us, how, if it bad been possible for the tVheelign Union to live through to this day, and experieuciug only kuch changes aB were inevitable from the progress of events and the change of circumstan ces, it could have been more likp it self than the Wheeling Press is like it.? Democracy then was the cloak used to hide all the treason of the Union, Democracy now is made to cover up all the treachery of the Press. The cry of Black Republi canism has been changed to Abolitionism. That is the only difference, and in the in intent that is no differenca at all. Indeed, we are free to say that we believe the Press is a worse paper?a more dangerous paper?than the Union ever was, just as a secret foe is always more dangerous than an opea one. Not that it has any more ability, but It has more craft, more low cunning and is possibly more unscrupulous. It has done more harm than the Union ever could have done had it lived on. It began as the professed friend of the Government and advocate of the Union; it build itself up on the sympathy and aid obtained through false pretence, and established itself with the ten thousand dollars of the money of loyal people drawn from the treasury the Government it was secretly hostile to> and now sets itself to undermine. It ob tained the confidence of hundreds of honest and loyal people by its declarations of loy alty, yet day by day and month by mouth gradually and surely poisoned their minds and perverted their judgments and exaspe rated them against their own Government and truest friends, before they were con scious of the change. Thus it has been a more potent engine of mischief than the Union could have been bad It lived on to this day. Let as add one more clip from the Union, which we think ought to come in xbont here : (From the Union of May 2d, lMi ] TUB "STABS AMD STRIPE8." The Black Republicans are making an immense fuss about the old flag.?They speak of defending it as if it were about to be assaulted by anybody. It is now their flag; they are welcome to it. We have in the South not a particle of love for it. But we have a love for the memories associated with it when it wav?d over a united, a hap py, and a free people. Now that it has be come the emblem of fanaticism and des potism we repudiate it. How familiar the word despotism In that connection seems to one who has been reading the Prut" tirades about the acts of the President, suspending the writ ot habea* corpus, and declaring martial law; but whether the Pre** will ever get quite des perate enough to talk that way about the "old flag," depends, we suppose,1 on the success of its efforts and the efforts of others acting with it, to create such revolts io the North as that in Schuylkill county, Pa., of which we have an acconnt this morn >Dg. Bat thU article ha* already exceeded re* sonable limits. We most end it here; but, in concluding, we would ask the candid reader who has followed as this far to re flect on the' evidences hero brought for ward. and then add to them the fact that the Wheeling Pre** is now owned In whole, or part, by the same mOaey that owned the Wheeling Union, and coat rolled In part at least, by the same man who controlled it? that It is zealously following In the same paths and!.laboring to accomplish the same I eod?, and than answer to his owa inteUi- 1 geat perceptions the question tr we are-sot right in elaeitng'tl aS 'disloyal to" the Got ?raoiMt of the ?ait$9 fefttes, and an ?m. tny to all its friend! 1 The khii?b 0r Lewi* Wtlial.

These statements we make on general rumor. We have seen nothing reliable con cerning the origin of the quarrel between ' W""' ?"<J Mr- "all. We know that the Register is a lo.val sheet, a truly loyai ouc,and that Mr. Wetzel was a sound Union man. We have seen two or three allusion, in his paper to the appointing powers here at Wheeling, criticising harshly and un jnstly their actions in aorne cases? Bui we looked upon the critci.ms as the natural mistakes of n man remote from the source ot explanations and JusuBcatioas, and not as prompted by auy other motive than a z?al ?nd snii * the good cause. Certainly no more devoted patriot than Lewis Wetzel lived in Western * irginia. The suggestion, which it appear. Mr. Hall made to the commandant at Point 1 feasant irritated Mr. Wetzel to a high de gree and in his paper (the Renter) coming toliand.esierdny, we find the violent edito ria .bat no doubt leid to the deplorable collision between bimseir and Mr. Hall We most deeply regret this terrible aff,.ir inasmuch a. it ha, cost the Union cause n Western V.rginia, so needy at the best, the services of one patriotic man and the Kr- ^ forn il 8 remaining days will COu?, for nothing.
