tred: he is a frank fearless eloquent and able
advocate of true Democratic doclrnes-stead-
tasty faithful to his friends, when they deserve
his lriendship,and never permitting compromise

and measures which he supports.
Our friends will peruse the followisg commu-

usual style of terscness, clearness and strength.
Like true Democrat, he says, 81 cannot say

but could say for whom would not vote
under circumstances whatever, would vote
for Henry Clay, of Kentucky"
The concluding paragraph is peculiarly racy
and gratifying. The congressional district which
has just chosen him for It's Representative, gave
a majority of 400 10 The Coon ticket for Presi-
dent The same district, says Mr.. Wise, SIS
Republican to the core-ihere is a majority of at
least 1000 for genuine Democracy, whenever
the Nationals, who attempt to usurp The name
of Wigs, may dare TO try The issue-and his
majority The coniinues) in the spring, is not
half the host Of Republcanism, whenever there
is occasion TO call our friends from the plough
handles to the polls"
! 1t was high compliment to Mr. Wise, and
duly appreciated by him, that there was not
Democrat who voted against him.

II DEAR SIRs-From the Enquirer of the 25th ut,
which read to-day, cut the following slip:
! "We are authorized to state that Mr. Wise de-
cared in his address to the People of New Kent, on
last Saturday week. that he would support the Nom-
nee Of the Democratic Convention. According to TIE
last accounts we have received Wise will carry the
district by a ma orty Of from 500 to 1000 the lat
ter seems TO be the lavore number"
The person who authorized you TO make this state
went was mistaken. declared to the people of New
Kent precisely what declared to the people every
n where in the 7th Congressional District on the next
Presidential election list. That could not say for
whom WOULD vote for the next presidency hat |
: new not myself for whom ] would be called on TO
J. ote but pledged myself TO go for that candidate
# md with that party which | might deem the most
: RepubIiean But
2ndly. | could say for whom would NOT vote
! Under no circumstances whatever, would vote for
j Henry Clay OF Kentucky. When the Conventions
III the respective parties had nominated their cand-
eates-when their principles should be made known
ind the exigences of the country should be clearly
; manifested, would make my election as became an
i american freeman, the independence and freedom
o whose choice, was myself candidate chiefly TO
Assert and maintain would not submit TO any form
o dictation constraint whatever myself; and con
tnded, in behalf of the people for the glorious priv
ipge' of casting their votes freely for whom they
reased, without let or hndrance from any authority

Without fear OF contradiction reproach for incon-
astcncy any other weakness, folly or crime This
prerogative OF the people, was obliged TO assert be-
ciuse the base attempt made TO constrain me To
vote for the nominee Of Wing Convention. or TO
pay the penalty of defeat. insisted upon my right
citizen, to do as pleased according TO enlisht
med conscience and the law, with MY owS vorr al
l The polls. And
3dy. WuH TuE VorE OF rHr D,srprcr. in the
event the election should goto the House Of Rep
-esentatyss pledged myself TO obey the instructions
o. the District as indicated at the Presidential Elec
ton in the Fall Of l5ii As the vote of the District
| vas handed up to me from the polls, ! would as
ministerial agent, deposit it in the ballot box Of the
House OF Representatives. This pledge | made in
obedience TO the doctrine Of instructions, which |
G have ever held sacred.
The elections this spring, owing 10 the backward
ness Of the season for farming operations have been
unusually thin; but the Federal party has made its
most desperate, and, as verify believe, its dying
effort This district is Republican to the core al
ways was so, and ever will ,bo "rrsur~ with Fede
ralists alone. There is majority Of at least 1000
for genuine Democracy, whenever the Nationals
who attempt 10 usurp the name Of Wing, may dare
to try the issue My majority tins spring is not half
the host Of Republicanism whenever there is an oc
casion TO call friends from their pough.handles
TO the polls. OF tins you may rest assured
Truly yours, etc.
HENRY A. WISE.
