SPEECH OF MIR. WISE.


Less than hour before sunset, Wednesday even

to address the people that night His friends were
exceedingly apprehensive that the brefness of the
notice was such to preclude the possibility of
sembling such audience was due the speaker,
the subject and the occasion But, the hour ap-
preached it became evident that the news had spread
like Scottish slogan, each telling his neghbor,
GO Mr.. Wise is here, and will speak tonight"
To give adequate idea to one who was not
witness of it. the size of the audience would be i'm
possible. Every available inch of room was throng-
ed and continued SO during the entire address.
OF the speech tsefwe shall say little. To attempt
to sketch would be unjust to Mr.. Wise, unsat
isfactory to readers and ourselves suffice it to
say, he avowed his opinion upon every cardinal topic
of the day. natnal, State and sectional, with bold
ness, vigor, ability and eloquence, which free
to say we have never heard equalled
Coming before the people as the accredited nomi
of the Convention, he .disdaincd to waste time
in defending his Democracy, but plunged at once in
to his subject.
Without trick of tongue, he held the largest
audience, we have assembled in Petersburg,
chained captivated, for three hours and hait, and
men forgot to applaud, were unwilling to break,

that bound them.

Correspondence of the " ilmington Journal

Mr.. EDITOR To-day the House resolved itself in
to Committee of the Whole, upon the Whining
ton Bank, introduced by your worthy representa-
tive Mr.. Williams, and, L assure you, in his hands,
it did not suffer. He spoke for more than an hour
in speech replete with learning, and with very
great ability. He seemed to be master of his sub
ject and clearly demonstrated the necessity for its
establishment His style easy and graceful,
and his arguments logical and conclusive.
His colleague, Mr.. Mcmillan, is of the most
useful members in the House, and, on all occasions,
meets the crisis with much trmness, evincing, in
all he does, great good sense.
New Hanover may well be proud of two such
representatives. l am certain you will get all the
banking facilities desired. The general feeling is
for Wilmington-Ye all feel proud of her.
Our table is groaning with Bank Bills and Railroad
Charters. The revenue bill is made out, by which
we are to reap over 100000 income Will the
people murmer? We shall see. Truly yours,

KNoW-NoTHINGlsM is ABoL1rIoNIsM.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS rs ABOLITIONISM..
The proofs are thckening that Know othingism,
which had lis origin in the free States, is not only
old-fashioned John Adams federalism, but Abolition
ism. We have noticed in another place the freesoi
message of the new Governor of Massachusetts,, Mr..
Gardner; and we now have to add to this the fact,
that the Know Nothings of the Legislature of that
State have just nominated for United States Senator,
by majority of fifty -four, Henry Wilson, notori
and unaduterated Abo.onist These men,
Gardner and Wilson, are opposed to the Nebraska
act to the fugitive slave law, to the admission of
slaveholding States, and vile and deprayed
Abotionists as ever lived.
We also present a synopsis of the message Of the
new Know Nothing Governor of Pennsylvania. Gov.
Pollock is Wing, and owes his election to the
Know Nothings. He is in favor of tariff for pro-
lection, in favor of internal improvements by the
federal government, and of the homestead measure,
much denounced by the Wings of North Carolina !;
and he is likewise Abolitionst of the stamp
with Gardner and Wilson: ...
''Gov. PoLLock's MESSAGE.
HARRISBURG, JAM 16.-Gov. Pollock was inau-
gurated to-day
He says in his message that civil and religious
liberty, freedom of speech and press, and freedom
of worship, are the brthright of Americans, which
no pontifcial edict destroy.
He objected to chartering new banks, but will
re-charter the old ones when sound and needed by
the community.
Is in favor of the sale of the public works.
Says it is duty of legislature to correct the evils
\of ntemperance
| On the pardoning power he says that notice
should be published when conviction takes place. of
Intended applications for executive clemency.
The reaeal Of the Missouri compromise is consid-
erred pioIation Of the nations faith and honor and
has receire1 q stern rebuke.
Advocates protection of American industry and
improvement of rivers and harbors also judicious
homestead bill.
Also reformation of the naturalization laws and
prevention of the emigration of foreign paupers and
convicts."

company in which they find themselves?

- 1t is rumored that a Know-Nothing Council
for the State has been in session in this City during
the present week-the object being to influence the
Congressional elections in August next. One thing
is certain, many strangers from various portions of
the State have been here and among them we have
recognized number of old fashioned and nveterate
Wings But few Democrats, we believe, have been
seduced into this secret organization.
1t is rumored we repeat, that midnight caucuses
or consultations have been held, having in view po
ltical power and control. Why all this darkness !?
Is there not something wrong about it? What says
the Raleigh Star, the organ of this and mystic
rious order?
One thing in this connection deserves considera-
ton, and that is that hear surprise expressed
when Wings supposed to have joined this Know
Nothing organization but there is always more or
less boasting when Democrat is supposed to have
joined. The Federalists take to it naturally-or
rather it is Federalism in a shape; and every
Democrat who is induced to join them is regarded
so much gained to the cause of Whiggery. Fed
eralism or Whiggery assumes many shapes to de-
ceve the people, Satan did on his way from hell
to deceive and ruin first parents. Beware of
these midnight councils the object of which is, not
benevoence and charity to man, but political Offices

light, because their deeds evil"

FROM KANSAS TERRITORY.

A friend has handed letter, from which we
make the following extracts in relation to Kansas
Territory. The fact that Kansas is most likely to
become saveholding State invests every thing from
that quarter with interest and importance to South
ern men. The letter is from native of North Car
olina-a gentleman of intelligence and character
whose statements may be relied upon correct:
81 have been in Kansas, viewing the country. 1t
is indeed as fine portion of Gods creation as
have yet seen. Along the streams the rich alluvia
bottoms are covered with forests of tall timber
sisting mostly of cotton wood, elm and locust and
walnut. After leaving the river bottoms rocky
bluffs, covered with a sort of scrubby growth Of
hickory and oaks rise to from sixty to one hundred
feet, and then the rich rolling prairie spreads out
far the eye REACH affording the best farming
land ever saw. These prairics will produce about
fifteen barrels of to the In fact, every
kind of grain is produced in abundance. This climate
think unsurpassed by the pure mountain
air of old Surry The water is clear chrysta,
ripping over rocky beds, and gushing out from
failing springs.
When left home I thought there never would be
any chance of introducing slavery into Kansas but
since have the country am fully convinced
slave labor can be just prohtably employed in
raising hemp the plains of Kansas it is in cot
ton or sugar planting further South. l have been
very much strengthened in the hope that Kansas
viii, be slave State by the recent election of Dele
gate to Congress. Gen. Whitfeld's majority
over 1000. Hurrah for Kansas! 1 attended the
election at Hardng's precinct, and must say new
err saw an election pass off more quietly. The truth
is never a more intelligent looking set of vo-
tiers any where. l. in company with seven other
"boys " from Mount Airy had the pleasure of add
ing my mite to swell the majority of Whitfield,
over which l have not yet finished my rejoicng.''

THAT "THING" CALLED KNOW-NOTHING-
ISM

The following, from the Petersburg Democrat,
will afford some idea of the practical workings in
Massachusetts, as far as decency and ability are
cerned of that thing called Know othingism
"The Know Nothing Legislature of Massachu-
sets is decidedly the most unique and original body
that ev er sat in this any other country
It began it's deliberations by a strong demonstra-
ton in favor of Parson Parker Theodore of happy
memory. After this Senator O. Libbey of Suffolk,
as the oldest and most experienced member present,
undertook to introduce the new members into the
hidden mysteries of law making This he did In
speech which undertake to say was never beaten
in Western bar-room. We give an extract below
for the everlasting admiration of posterty and we
confidently predict that when Cicero and Demos nos,
themes are forgotten, the name of Libbey will Still
remain encircled by wreath of everl lasting green
1--WE are assembled this morning, subjected not
only to the scrutinizing eye of Massachusetts,, but
to the gaze of all this Republic and to the scrunz-
ing gaze of all Europe. Massachusetts, this morning
is looking with intense anxiety to proceedings;
so likewise is our whole Union and much more so
the po,oers Of Europe. We represent not only the
present but past history. We find that our republic
needs perpetual change of laws from time to time,
and not only that find it needs change in the
constitution. We assembled together on this
occasion under Gerry extraordinary as eoet as or
dinary circumstances, @ and have no doubt that
some of the most important measures will come be-
fore the Massachusetts, Legislature this session. that
ever was introduced before legislative body in our
republic. The whole country is looking for our &C
ton on these questions, and hope and trust we
shall meet these important questions calmly, and
while we are charitable and impartial and naagn.i-
cent towards others, that shall be just towards
ourselves"
Upon this, we can only exclaim, in the eloquent
language of another
Mammoth cavel Oh what spot
In summer cold in winter hot
God Almighty, what wonder!
General Jackson blood and thunder!! "
