WISE ADVICE.


Tho Interesting letter. published by long since from
r,dr. Duncan one of the Commissioners from Virginia al
the London Exhibition ha, attracted the attention of the
eas enerally 1t will be recolected that in speaking OF
Tho shameful manner in which Southern men have been
treated in London by the English and their guilty coadu
tors he ayows his belief TINT the object OF the British Gov
eminent plainly developed in its recent man@uVres is 10
sever this Unon possible through the aid and assistance
of her tratorous accompces the Phanopc abotioniss
of The North The Enterprise spirited paper at Hampton,
Va puts forth upon the subject, with which
we have been struck The writer dcues the idea that
England could for O entertain such foreign
sentiment sympathy for the "wronged and OPP
pressed Of mankiud"-shows that only England bu,
every despolic power Of Europe, combining their
Vaccinations to break up government and put down
our liberal institutions, useful TO the progress OF
constitutional liberty throughout Europecites the painful
and astounding fact that any or set OF men, living un-
der the sheiteng wing of institutions and enjoying the
blessings which the blood of ancestors was SO
freely spilled u.s. should harbor sentiments par
cda to the kind mother that has nonsed and supported
him-and concludes with the following sound reflections
worthy of Vrginan and citizen OF the South whose
dearest interests and the very existence of whose
we soemny believe depend upon the preservation OF the
Union:
Shall we longer bear the taunts and provocaons OF the
North or shall crafty the malignant cravings OF that In
saiabe eourmund Mr. john Bull and sever the bands OF this
Union which clasped by the CONCEALED blood OF
heroes Shall uno0se those bands Tor the sake
of English ACKNOWLEDGMENT which Engands tyranny and OPP
PRESTON used throw around us as the only amulet
against her aggression and assauls Shall submit Ion
ger to the erng faults of brother murder own dear
mother 10 punish him with the grles and lamentations na
would befal US both
If these questions which concerned alone-n TO
Union involved the only misfortune Of dissovng
which kindred ties and associations
other days cemented then would We suy t thine eye Of
noAc in frIppt Rn lp
us resort this sad extremity long the garng eyes Of
that teacherous hyena goatng with such heis de-
light the victims Of her greedy desires. Let us rather
saw preserve the Union for safety Let US bear
with the inirmtes of weaker brethren q little longer
Let still maintain the truth OF that solved problem, which
long time has puzzled the world shat man is capable OF
sefgnyenment." For hurnuny's sake let continue III
support principles which beginning awake the
sumbering world from slavery and chains Let us still de-
fepd that lonely beacon which the shore Of times en
ocean, sends It's hope inspiring beams guide
her long tossed mariners into the harbor Of eaey and
pose But little while longer and those principles which
have been slowly gathering strength, like those mountain
islands which the busy hands Of time have formed from
nuuest secrelons will rise in towering GRANDEUR and m
umph wreck Of ignorance and despusm, proudly
asserting the rights of man, and vndcang the laws of
ture.
Those vena hirelings Of England may the seeds Of
dssension in the hearts Of Northern BRETHREN back
bloom The destnies of country the vile
chinations Of British arice may gull the stupid minds Of
those infatuated fanatics and caole them into
which may finally discover bands OF this great conede
rags but oh proud, boasng enrious England, may thy
guilty purposes be accomplished long the bright
that lighted fathers through the gloomy midnight of
their struggles send its cheering beams into
o and enlightened hearts.
