MIR. WISE

we place before our readers the singular letter
oil Mr. Wise, addressed to the NatioEal Inteliyencer
containing corrected report OF his remarks in the
House on Wednesday, when Mr.. Stu.r,'s resolution
was under discussion. Nothing has given us more
pam than the engmatIcal position in which this GEN
ueman seems to have placed himself since the Pes
idenilll election. Admiration Of his tents and grnt
itude Tor his eminent services during the dark DAYS
oil jackson V-n Burensm would OF course restrain
the Wing press from any other notice of his course
than that which high considerations of duty deman.
ded. We confess, therefore, our modification and
surprise at the disposition manifested by Mr.. Wise
TO dstach himself from the great body of the whis
party, and either to fight on his own hook, or TO
gather around him little squad OF repuJliea MS,
as he terms them, drawn from ali parties, and agree
ing IN certain PecuIiartes and distractions which for
the most part utterly unntellisible to the great
mass OF the American people. MIR. Wise saws he
never claimed Mr.. Stany of N. Carolina as his DO
Hhea! friend. This is altogether new to us. We
thought that If there one man in Congress who
pToessed the genuine Wing spirt-who, whilst
Stern Trend to Southern rights, also true Amer.
can IN feeling we'll North CaroIinian-that man
was MIR. S:Anly. We thought that he and Mr..
Wise had not only fought but conquered together.
and we did not know in what they could well differ
except perhaps upon n few abstract points. Sorry
we are TO be undeceved. We hope, however. that
MIR. Wise has passed the rubicon so far that he il
prepared to receive in his political embrace such
men as Calhoun, Pickens and Co.-for that would
really he punging deeper than we ever ANTICIPATED
What does Mr.. Wise mean when he SAYS that if
there be any gentlemen combined for the greatest Of
all mIschieis the conversion cfhe Whig party into
the Coalition Of IS25-the palming again upon this
| country the union OF Kentucky and Uassaehussns-
the union of name in this House (Mr. Adams)
with that Of another elsewhere, as they and their
friends were once united, he, for one will hunt for
Republicans wherever he can find them" The
general impression is, that Coalitions can ONLY be
formed by the union Of opposite and antagonist
parties. How, then, can there be any Coalition
/ between Kentucky and Massachusetts who have
been and are still firmly knit together in Wing
bonds, aud who harmonic, we believe in most Of
their policol opinions and sentiments. We are Mt.
tcry bewildered by this new move on the chess
board, nor can we reconcile the language above
| quoted with the closing remark Of Mr.. Wise, "tha,
the Wing party should unite in a sincere support
Of the Administration Of John Tyler, and keep il.
sell free from factions nmical TO that Administr,.
ton"
We sincerely hope, ourselves, that the Wing par.
" will keep itself free from all factions, great and
smoll-und by the Wing party, we mean the
whole Wing party from Mnine to Louisiana, and
from the Atlantic to the Missssppi-not "tbe Re.
publican portion" Of It mcrely-not the Southern
portion Of It, but the universal Wing party Of the
United States. We hope that President TYLER be-
longs to that party and TO no other. Confident
we are, that If he sinks the distinguishing charsc.
ter Of an Imsviean Prssdsnt into tho President Of
mere clique or squad Of macontents and no.
s,meuonisls, he will lose the opportunity Of per.
petuatlng name which shall be hailed bv the era.
tllude Of pos,ery.
