Mr.. WISE at Hampton (Ensabeth City3

me NOTiOIS Herald OF Monday says:
ave find the following the Richmond Enquirer Of
Thursday:
Extract Of a letter from IPiqmsJurg TO friend in
this city.
r Wise has been here, turning every bodys opinion of
his course, upside down. lie spoke last Monday Q3h)
till he nearly broke down-Mr. -d did not hear
him, but other Claymen heard him, and with hem
assure yOu he gained popularity. 1t said, he abused
Clay terribly-used him up" &c. &c.
We had ourselves heard much Of Mr. Wses 'abuse' Of
Mr. Clay at Williamsburg; but 10th believe
Mr. Wise capable of descending the Language which
he reported have applied Mr. Clay and inasrnuch
az information did through direct channel
orebore notice it, But here have the evidence Of
the spot that Mr.. Wise abused Clay most terribly
used him up, &c &c" We are not told in what style
the Honorable gentlemen 'abused Clay" whether it was
IN that of Bng-gate, st Giles the Five Ponts-but
only that he abused him terribly, YEA Hnost terribly"
therefore infer that his abuse the very quntes
OF the polished eoq0ence of all three of these distin
guished schools elaborated by his own-masicry mind
We feel greatly concerned for Mr. Clay rs We have many
recollectons Of his noble and patriotic qualities which have
been frightened by the splendid eulogiums Of namesnke
OF this Mr. Henry A. WISE in ls4O-lsee his letter
IN another place We say feel greatly concerned for
Mr. Clay; for how will he ever survive the tdings when
they shall reach him. that he has been by his most powerful
advocate and euogist in 1910 "DiOs terribly abused-ued
up, &c. &c" without his knowledge and consent But
" h7udnu Wnen nc ~ dead, ms
umne the page Of his countys history forever while the
abuse Of Mr.. Wise expires with the breath that gave it
uusrance,r
We would, however, rather encourage Mr.. Wise in his
terrible abuse of Mr. Clay" than do aught To restrain him
Let him ahead and "use up Clay" the top Of his bent
lit will be tho most certain way IT greatly de-
ceived Of using up Henry A. wise in the Yh District
OF this he himself however, seems not to be aware as we
learn that in his four hours speech Hampton he INDUCED
in ,rndc Of abuse against Mr. Clay, equally bad taste
AID disgusting to the proper Of his hearers while
could not but have implanted the breast Of genemans
friends rooted hostility to his reyiler.
Iii due TO Mr. Wise to say that he nself apologised
at the Hastings Thursday for Mr. CAREERS ABSENCE and
spoke Of Mr. Carter very handsome and complimentary
torms
