spectful and considerable towards him than he
deserved, or than selfconceit less insuffera-
BILE than his would have expected
There is but one other statement, In the foul
torrent of misrepresentation which Mr.. Van
Buren, has discharged upon us, which it is con-
slstent with our self-respect further to notice,
and that relates to the eminent statesman whose
name he, and not ourselves, has most irreverent-
ly dragged into the canvass.
In publishing the letter of ex-President Van
buren,, some days ago. we said not word to
authorize the construction put upon its appear
ance by Mr.. Hatch, or the comments of his cor
respondent, as any one may see by reading the
extract incorporated into Mr.. Hatch's letter.
The letter of Mr.. Van Buren,, the father, came
to us enclosed in letter from Mr.. Crandall, to
whom it was addressed, expressing willing
ness to have it printed in the EUening Post if
we saw fit. We published it, of course, not as
an expression or an intimation of Mr.. Van
Burens views of the present canvass, but as an
interesting memorial of a contest in which he
took leading and noble part.
The contents of that letter were perfectly con-
sistent with his past, and we have no doubt they
will be with his future, political action. Nor
have We any reason to suppose that its appear
ance In the Ecening Post was otherwise than
welcome to him or to his disinterested friends.
If we had, we should not have published it.
We would be the last to disturb the dignified
retirement Of the last American President who
was worthy to be the successor of Jefferson
and If his degenerate son had been half as anx-
ious for his fathers peace and reputation as he
IS to figure in the newspapers, We should have
had no occasion to offer this explanation.

GOVERNOR WISE.

The Richmond Enquirer of a recent date
contains another letter from Governor Wise,
which is calculated to give as much notoriety
to his eccentric genius as any of his preceding
epistles. Most men perpetrate their absurdi-
ties on the spur of the moment, when they
have had no opportunity to reflect; but it is
the popularity of the Virginia Governor elect,
that he never so signalizes his egotism, AFRO
gance, and folly, as when he goes into his closet
to write letter.
But extravagant and ridiculous as Mr. Wise
appears in this letter, he but expresses the
prevalent feeling of the privileged class, the
Slavocracy, to which he belongs. "But if the
Democracy can again succeed" he says, and
cannot again unite upon better man than 1
am, and they aCiU unite upon me, / can only
say that I will, a-lamode Jackson, fervently
and effectuaily rule Black Repubicanism I
,oiH rule hem!"
If Mr.. Wise ever has moment of cool re-
Election, he must feel conscious of having rem
dered himself ridiculous and contemplate by
this arrogant threat; and he will not feel obliged
to Mr.. Booker and the Enquirer for bringing it
before the public. Indeed, on first perusng it.
we could not resist the suspicion that the letter
had been published, in order to give the quietus
to Mr.. Wise as Presidential aspirant. The
leaders of the Democratic party have evinced
degree of incomprehensible faulty in the
measures they have devised with reference to
Slavery; but they generally display sagacity
in selecting their most available man for the
Presidency. We therefore do them the Justice
to conclude that they will never think of taking
up man like Mr.. Wise, who avails himself Of
every opportunity to insult the Northern people.
We regard Mr.. Wise as done for politically.
He has genius and energy, but is utterly def
Gent in Judgment temper, and dignity. He
charges the ranks of his enemies brayely; but.
in the wildness of his fury, is liable at any mo-
ment to butt his head against wall.
The race of great men in Virginia seems to
have run out Her people have deserted the
faith of their fathers-have repudiated the Dec
laration of Independence, with its life-giving
principles of Liberty, and the first generation
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-11-15

and perhaps more so-it might become war
of determination: and would it not throw back
the civilization of the negro, and prevent his
attainment of real freedom so soon as he is
certain to do by the peaceful progress of ideas
and principles?
There was day when England scrupled not
to invade our rights but that day is past. She
has learnt wisdom from experience, and moder-
alton from consciousness Of the danger Of in
dulging her ancient naughty temper. For
years past, marked change has been observed
in the tone of the English press, as it regards
the United States. The Mexican war, and the
immense acquisitions of territory which imme-
diately preceded and followed it, made the first
favorable impression on the mind of John Bull.
So long as we acted like honest people, respect
ed our neighbors, and obeyed the laws of ma
tons, honest John could not conceal his con-
tempt for US. But when we demonstrated that
we could bully and browbeat our weak neigh
bors, and take half their territory to pay the
expense of the war, like a true old bully as he
is, John took Jonathan to his bosom, and
claimed him as legitimate offspring. We en-
JOY the respect of England, because we can
command it at the lannon's mouth; and in
saying 50, we intend nothing particularly dis
paraging to our mother country. Until the
world is more enlightened, civilized, and Chris
tanned, there will be no higher standard of re.
spectability among nations than power-brute
force.
For these reasons, we utterly discredit the
idea that England cherishes the remotest
thought of war with the United States, or that
she intends the West India fleet as menace
or threat

MODERN PILGRIMS PROGRESS.

We would call attention to the chapters on
the first page, headed Babylon and its So
ciety," and "Scenes from Camp Meeting"
selected from a book which was mentioned in
the last number of the Era as soon to appear,
"Modern Pilgrims" by Mr.. George Wood, of
this city.
While we cannot do justice to work by Sc
lectons merely, general idea of the style may
be given; and we think that these chapters are
fair representations of the book.
1t is written in an easy, pleasant, apparently
unstudied, readable, style, and some parts of it
are very sprightly and entertaining. 1t is a
book which must he read, for two reasons-irst,
for the pleasure which we have in seeing other
people shown up in their absurdities; and Sec
ondly, because ones curiosity is raised, expect
ing constantly that in the next chapter he shall
see himself held up in his own favorite ism, and
wondering how he shall look-wondering, too,
how he shall feel to " see himself as others see
him."
Whether our author has, in all instances, been
fair, we will leave to others to Judge; probably
every person will think that he has been so in
the representation of all but his 1.-THE readers
own peculiar ideas. T.
The work noticed above, we are assured, will
be issued in few days, from the press of
Phillips, Sampson, Co., Boston. Circum-
stances have delayed its appearance. Mr..
Wood is shrewd observer and a pleasant
satirist He has made himself acquainted with
all forms of social life, all creeds, all usages,
all institutions.
His book is picture of human life, as he
has seen it. If we mistake not, its portraits
are often from living men and women, and its
incidents, realities, so that it will be read by
many with personal interest.

of apostacy exhibits a race of dwaris and mon
sters.
The conclusion of this letter is peculiarly
rich. The Governor of Virginia declares with
emphasis-for the italics are all his-"I neuer
stole anything from General Bayly!"

able that the northern counties, except Allie
ghany, all give large Know Nothing majorities
while the saveholdiug districts are equally de-
cided against the Order. This vote, together
with those in Louisiana, Mississippi, North
