WV Statehhood article in NJ 1863 paper

I ran across this in a group of newspapers being sold on Ebay a while back. It is from the Newark Daily Journal, Jan 1863.
They also had an article talking about how the war was started by men trying to break in to steal another man's property, that is, Abolitionists trying to steal the slaves from the South. I'm surprised this paper wasn't shut down, perhaps it was a Copperhead journal. Anyway, thought you might like to see it.
