Mn WISE AND THE ABOLITION WHO'S.

The democracy Of Virginia appealed TO oy the ONO
aboonists to oppose Henry A. Wise because al one period
Of his career he was msmber the opposition party But
these fanatics have another great reason for hating Henry
A Wise He has always been the daring and defiant adj
versary OF their schemes Of disunon His clarion voice
was raised at early day against their mad and mon
srous schemes They rush, therefore 10 the contest IN
which be is now engaged with redoubled animosiv be-
cause they hope by means Of the order 70 rosrafs
Aim and dc dsoeratic parry ne sane tame The struggle
in Virginia is indeed that involves the very existence
of southern institutions and be who strikes the boldes
blows for the right well deserves the confidence Of his M
ow-cxens Mr. Wise is the for the crisis lie brings
to the work record Of consistent hostility TO northern
anatics stores Of learning and of experience in the dis
cussion Of great questions and that frank and fearless
urs which is always ready to every issue and ie
answer every objection.
But there is another view Of this subject and this view
particularly addressed to such democrats as may be as
posed listen the assaults upon Mr. Wise BY the abo
tonists Of Ohio and other States and their ssrve echoes
in Virginia How humiating 10 see those who have been
democratic but opposed to the democracy " zoe
warfare with her foes defended and paronsed by
the old federal press Of virginia. The Richmond Whil
and its followers long the remorseless traducers OF th
democratic party and its champions are doubtless highly
indignant Mr. Wise should refuse to cooperate wiz
them in their coalition with northern know noihngs
who are nine of ten old abolition whgs and henc
are determined to defeat him Take note, however, tina
while assang him they eager to honor all democrat
rAo 90 M them The old federal leaders who will neve
forgive Mr. Wise for having been wing ready
forgive all who have been democrats They reyap ever
forgotten expression Of Mr. Vice opinion 10 b
expnted but they are anxious overlook every atacl
upon themselves if only the democrats who have mad
these attacks will oppose Mr. Wise All this is poor trick
only too transparent for age when read write
and think for themselves.
