TO the Editor Of the Union
In several know nothing papers have extract
of letter purportng to be from Boston correspondent
of the New York Evening Post which states that Mr..
Wise in recent letters to gentlemen Of standing in Bos-
ton, gives up all idea of his election in Virginia.
From recent letters friends, who we hope are
gentlemen Of standing we enabled to brand this
infamous falsehood gotten up by ubiquitous aboli-
ton journals nure Mr. Wses prospects in Virginia
So s~ from Mr.. Wise having done any such thing, has
friends here in the constant receipt of letters from him
speaking confidently not only of his election but Of ri-
umphant majores The only thing queer about this mat
is that the who has given publicity to unpar
aeed lie has to the contents OF letters received
by gentlemen Of standing Boston, if by the terms gen-
nemen of standing he decent respectable men.
But willing to believe for the sake of these
gentlemen Of standing if they exist but in the
fertile imagination of the correspondent Of the "Pos that
that statement is equally false. If at any time during this
the of democracy has been obscured by dark
clouds which oreboded Storm they have passed away and
it only shines brighter for the obscuriy it suffered
and it will shine brighter still the fourth Thursday in
May next when Vrgnias sons shall from her mountain

nohingsm smelling, it does, strongly of the aboli-
ton odos of the Evening POST stinks in their nostrils
