Mr. Wise is a radical friend Of s.avery--no one
more so throughout the whole south--as bis late
haranpues manif.slly show. 1t would seem from
what he said at alexandria, that he is fully pre-
pared as Governor of the .Ol Dominion, TO draw
the sword land flesh it, ere isreturned 10 the scab
bard,n upon the abo,ionsts of that state to stoT
The agitation Of the slave question. Mr.. w. be i

ON the question of passing censtire on Mr. = d
ans for the offence Of having asked The speaker
the House, whether member had right to pre-
sent petition from slaves, commended that slaves
are not to be regarded as human beings. "Ihe,
