From the Enquirer
Mr.. yyise,s Letter to Boston.


The folowne comments of Democratic paper
the Dayton, Ohio, Empire,) published in a non
saveholding State, in marked contrast win the
some of the Southern Know Nothing organs, espe-
cialy in our own State. We do not charge them
with so doing designedly, because we believe they
act gnolantly and under the stress Of violent partl-
zan feeling but it cannot be denied that their course
indirectly gives " aid and comfort to our enemies IN
the Northern States On the other hand, it is With
grateful feelings that cite such articles as the fol-
lowing from honest and conservative Democratic pa
pers like the Dayton Empire
We publish, in this paper, "a letter from Hon
Henry A. Wise, of Vrg nia, in answer to an invita-
ton from Boston Abolition Committee to deliver a
lecture in that city on the subject of slavery This
letter is severely criticised by some OF the black Re-
publican journals. They consider it very undignI-
fed and insulting in its one and affect to be greatly
surprised that Mr.. Wise should write such letter
"Our own opinion, is, that Fir. Wise has replied
in precisely the terms that these meddesome Adolf

had the least idea that he would consent to lecture
upon the subject proposed, and it will require con

The Meeting Last Night.

The official report made by the Secretaries shows
what was done at the Anti.Know Nothing Meeting
held last evening at the Court House. Every person
present will bear witness to its numbers and respect
ability as well to the spirit which animated it, Got
ten up quietly, without excitement or parade, on an
unfavorable and threatening night. with every pros
pect of rain, the turnout was highly gratifying.
1t augured success; and it only remains for the
movement thus initiated to be followed up in the
spirit and with proper energy, to render it irresistible.
1t is no exclusive, proscrptve strictly party move
1t is the reverse 1t is designed TO do away with all
such things. 1t is gotten up in opposition to all such
things. 1t invites the cooperation of all who are
willing to oppose the party order which first in.
troduced exclusion or proscrptveness into our town
affairs. 1t aims at personal attacks or personal
bitterness 1t aims at establishing no permanent d.
visions among our citizens. Its object is to do away
with such divisions by defeating the ascendancy of
the party under whose auspices division lines were
first introduced into our local matters-Dailv Jour-

Joachim Murat married Napoleon's sister. Lucien
Murat is Joachim Murats son. consequently Napo-
Icons nephew and cousin to Louis Napoleon. AS
everybody knows, Murat the elder, was made King
of Naples by his august brother.in.law to whom, in
his fall, he proved untrue. Murat deposed and
the Bourbons restored. He made wild attempt to
yard OF one of his former palaces.
Lucien Murat is fat, roley policy, middle-aged
and round bellied man, who lived for very many
wears at or near Bordentown NJ j., in:he neighbor'
hood of the residence of his uncle Joseph Bonaparte,
ex-King of Spain, then known Court SurVeilliers
The Philadelphia Bulletin brings forward some re-
miniscences of Murat which render his rise into
prncehood certainly amusing if not quite SO as
tonishng as that of his cousin the Emperor "Murat'
as every body called him in Bordenown had as little
of the prince about him as could well be imagined
if we except most princely contempt OF all sorts Of
work or business and ma estc neglect OF all those
little pecunary obligations known as debts. He was
generally out at the elbows, but somehow got along
while his uncle remained in this country. The de-
parture of Joseph Bonaparte, if it did nothing else
certainly impaired the credit of Lucien Murat VIZ

The present King OF Naples-one of the most i'm
beetle and most Infamous of the Bourbons-has got
ten himself into all sorts of difficulties with his owl
subjects and with the allies and as Louis Napoleon
is the leading man in Europe having made himsel
Emperor of France, Lucen Murat thinks ii essentia
to the full restoration of Napoeonsm that he should
be made King of Naples in place Of the unpopular
Bourbon, more especially as his father Joachim Mu
