RicH.-- The Democrats of Virginia have
nominated Henry A. Wise for Office of Gov
crnor in the letter accepting the nomination,
he says,"I proms. to devote my best cncr-
gics to uphold The hopes ofour ancient faith. =
1t is decidedly rcircshngto hear Henry A.
Wise talking of '.Drmocracy' as his ancient
faith! The author Il the toast, ''1he Union el
the Wings for the sake Of the Union,' ought
to remember that Ills .'dcmocracy" does uot
run back to the time whereof the memory of
man runncth not to the contrary-that with
him ''dcmocracy' is not Il very ancient faith.
even if modern democracy lays claim to an
antiquity. Mr.. Wise intends to make strong
effort for the gnbcrnutorial chair, but we
guess he will '.sac Sam even before the
votes are counted out.--Del. JOarnnL
