MR.. WISE'S SPEECH.

II was we'll for Job that the Virginia Conven-
ton did not sit in his day, for he might have been
reouired to listen to its debates, and we question
whether even his patience could have withstood
the trial of Mr.. Henry A. Wlse's speech. Inc
effort has indeed been one of the most extraordl-
nary ever made before an assembly OF men. Con-
ceving himself to be specially commissioned, ike
Milton, to proclaim "great argument, ana 10
"iustify the ways of God to men" ne has under
taken the portentous task of expoundlng the
mb;ober law" of the white basis. Grounding
his logic upon the foundation OF all things. ne
cites chapter and verse innumerabe, to establish
the scriptural origin of the jus malorls On Tues
day night last his discourse bore no resemblance
TO a speech, and yet it was hardly sermon. he
dealt more Familiarity with the most sacred myste-
res of the Hebrew theocracy, than the profound
est divine ever dared to do in the pulpit. Ii there
was any legitimate deduction from his postulates'
it was nothing less than the unvarnished doctrine
of the Abolitionists, that rules OF society can
Justify the white man in keeping the negro in sa-
verv. He affirmed, however, that the suffrage
basis was the law of God, and having entrenched
himself around with hundred msapplied texts,
he boldly declared that no adversary could reach
him without piercing "the thick bosses OF Jeho-
vahs buckler! We do not profess to have fol-
lowed Mr.. Wise through the religious part OF his
argument. 1t was enough for us to know that,
by every system of theology, it is held that the
soul of the pious negro is received into heaven as
well as the soul of the white man; and II any
analogy is to be drawn from what is revealed OF
Gods government in Heaven, it must teach usthe
Justice of regarding the negro no less than the
Caucasian as a member of the community, and
entitled to the protection Of the government.
But let us pass, by an abrupt transition from
the sanity, to the sporting partof Mr. Wise's ora
ton On Thursday 1--WE think it was) he compar-
ed the contest about the basis to a game Of brag
The East, he said, held in its hand, the ace Of
diamonds Representing its pr operty0 the ace Of
spades Ito dig the grave of the State) and nine
bragger namely, its nine majority in the Conven-
tion) whilst the West had the ace of clubs Ito
knock down its enemies) the ace Of hearts Oho
affections of the people, and the Jack bragger
typical of what, we cannot say) In this state OF
the game, it seems, the Jack beats the nine, and
the West must come out winner. Now we sub
nit that the game of Drag would better illustrate
the policy of that section of the advocates of the
white basis who have threatened so seriously d-
vision of the State. They are betting boldly on
weak hand, and have had the misfortune to let the
opposite party get sight oft. through the sad in
discretion of MIR. Martin of Marshall.

MINoT's LEDGE LIeHrHousE-Th destruction of the
Light House at Mnots Rocks was one of the extraor-
dlnary results OF the recent storm. 1t was car
ried away at about IL o'clock on Wednesday night OF
last week. Minors rocks lie off the South chop
OF Boston bay, about II miles from the city, and less
than eight miles from the Boston light. The Mnot
rocks sunken but about 25 feet of them are bare

The lighthouse, now carried away, was erected at
the outer rock. 1t OF octagon shape and Is feet
at the base formed of nine heavy wrought iron shafts,
one OF which was in the centre. Each shaft weighed
200 pounds. These shafts were sunk five feet into the
solid rock and fastened by steel keyes From the GEN.
tire to the outer shafts series Of wrought iron bra
ces, with similar braces connecting the outer line the
whole forming an open work frame. The shafts were
ten inches in diameter at the base The height ofthe
entire structurewas seventy feet.
= AT the top were built rooms for the keepers
Two in the lghthous at the time was des-
troyed and lost. 1t is reported that the heavy
shafts broken twisted off about feet above the
rock 1t is surprising that any could be power
full enough to break such strong works in such man
