The friends Of tho Hon. Henry A. Wise,
satisfied of his election 10 the gubernatorial char
OF the old Dominion, wishing to pay him compl-
ment, procured the services Of the Marine Band
for a serenade, and proceeded 10 the hotel OF the
Messrs. Brown, with that view, on Saturday nigh
Several pieces were played including "Jordan is
hard road TO travel, and aCarry me back TO old
virgaia,a when Mr.. Wise was introduced 10 the
assembly ms ''the Governor elect Of Virginia
Enthusiastic cheering greeted him from large
part Of the immense crowd; and groans, mock
huzzas, and Misses from another, plainly indicated
that mol few persons had come prepared 10 pre-
vent Mr.. Wise from speaking 10 his "ieilow-citI-
zens Of Washington" Hls
In this design they unhappily succeeded, and
forced him 10 retire from the balcony, but not I'M

and proclaimed the fact that here in the metro
polls of the Union, freedom of speech was mol
tolerated. and called on conservative wings and IN
shall abide on the country.
Comment on such disgracefu conduct is I'M
necessary. Twice have anii-Knownothing public
meetings been broken up by their opponents, who
without any moleslaton whatsoever, conducted
OF their own in front Of the City Hall, shortly
alter their heroic proceedings at Cargsi's Saloon.
No man Of proper views can jus,iiyNhe riotous
proceedings of Saturday night; nor shall we be-
lieve there will be any attempt at palation In any
respectable and intelligent quarter
Such things, if again repeated may lead TO
severe retaliation, which we should regret as
seriously as we condemn the acts of provocation
10 which we have above alluded.
If freemen cannot "peaceaby assemble" TO ex-
press their sentiments political affairs, without
continued fierce interruption from their opponents,
forcing an abandonment oflegitimate proceedings,
then is the charter of our liberties mockery, and
the rule of a mob substituted for the heretofore
recognised law which has governed this com

ington Union wholesome lecture in relation
to its late impudent interferences in the local
concerns Of the Democracy in this State, that
State, and the other. In the course of this
reprimand, the Free Press saysi
There is one other point We are going to
touch. The Washington Union is extremely
anxious that Whitfield should be admitted as
the delegate from Kansas. We hope ne will
not be admitted. The admission of Whitfield
will be virtual recognition by the House of
Representatives of the authority of the pseudo
Legislature of Kansas, and OF the validity of
all its disgraceful and monstrous acts. And
we hope too that Reeder will not be admitted.
His admission will legalize an irregular and
unauthorized elections therefore it is that we
trust that both will be rejected and the whole
matter sent back to the people of Kansas.
This is doubtless the ground occupied by
General Cass.

American rational Convention


CrscIsNArI, Nov. 23.-The National Ameri-
can Convention yesterday afternoon and even
ing was occupied in discussing the majority
report, which, after long debate, was adopt
ed on vote by States, which stood % TO II.
The majority report declares the repeal OF the
Missouri Compromise was an infraction OF the
plighted faith of the nation, and that IL shoulo
be restored. If the efforts to that END faii,
then Congress should refuse to admit any
State into the Union toleratiug slavery. iorm-
ed out of Territory from which that institution
was excluded by the Compromise. The report
also protests against coalescing with any party
that demands the abandonment of American
principles or the disorganization of the Amer
lean party. A meeting of the delegates at
Philadelphia on the 10Th Of February next, is
also recommended.
The minority report was mainly sustained
by the Ohio and Michigan delegations. 1t de-
clares that prescription on account OF birth
was unwarranted by the American PRINCIPLES
recommended that the party act without Sc
crecy; regarded the slavery question as para
mount to all others, and recommended the i'm
provement of our rivers and harbors, and the
adoption of generous foreign policy.-The
Cony sntion adjourned sine die about midnight
after vote of thanks to the officers.
