| RE,rrSIscEScEs.-Th Enquirer of February 81,
1887, in an article commenting on Messrs. Wise
and Peyton, reports Mr.. Wise to have used the fol-
lowing language in speaking of Gen. jackson and
the Jackson party

l wish &c now how many base born tools of powel
the Tyrant has in this House to do his bidding
Let the serfs of this Turkish Despotism stand Out
and show themselves"
Pretty words these-Tyrant and Turkish Des-
potism-to be used by the present leader OF the
Jacksonian Democracy of Virginia ~ .
| The editor of the Enquirer few days afterwards
made pilgrimage to Washington, to pay his per
sonal respects to Martin Van Buren,, on the occa-
| sion of his Inauguration. On his return, he gave
very lively account of all he and heard in the
Federal Metropolis. In this running sketch we
| find the following mention made OF those terrible
| fellows Wise and Peyton:
| From the ENQUIRER, March 9th, 1881.
"The loss of the land and the tariff bills is to be
attributed to the waste of the precious time OF the
| House by exchanging orators. MesSrs. wise
| and Peyton, and Adams are mainly responsible fo
the delay of the public business, the defeat OF hun
dreds of important bills, and the falling off of the
order and dignity of the House of Representatives
Mr.. Bale Peyton has authorised the National In,
teligencer TO state that he declines to be consider
ed candidate for the next Congress He IS con,
sidered decidedly superior man to MIR. Wise, who
| it is easy to is of those ambitious orators
whom much putting by his Wing Partisans ha:
blown up into no little conceit of his own powers

These are the words of HENnY CLAY, and how
truly characteristic are they of the man who utter

mating from human lips more indicative OF true no
bity Of nature. If physical courage be the essen,

laid his heart upon the altar of his country; and the
burning flame of patriotism purified tile COLDER
