We infer from the Spectators account that Mr..
Wise did not profit his cause much by his visit to
Stanton. According to that Journal:
HE appeared feeble--sad bis lungs were lac
Grated. and the water of this region had "scourg-
cd him. He had spoken forty times, and alto
gether one hundred and ifty hours. IT might
have been owing to physical debility. but he GER
tainly iabored throughout the speech and succeed
ed in getting up very little enthusiasm among the
people. The occasional applause was rather
feeble and speedily died away"
The Spectator concludes its account by shy.
ing;
I'VE listened to Mr.. Wise for more than three
hours and heard eighteen of his objections TO the
Know Nothings. At that point felt too wen
ry to remain longer. We understand Tint To-.
wards the conclusion of his speech, he refereed
his determination to hang aud shoot numb, If
persons (who, or what class could not .arn)
when he got to be Governor After he coneln.
ded his friends gave him three cheers, and then
the friends of Sam raised three Joyous, bois
ferrous shouts for Sam and Flournuy."

Who's A feard

We don't know what is the matter but some.
thing is, certain. We do know such facts Ms the
following:
4 gentleman in this city recently, very re
Gently, staked 5000 on Flournov's election,
which was TO he met bv $500. This was two
to one and ample tims given to the friend of
Mr.. Wise to plank up his $500 but he did mt
do il, and paid 5000 forfeit.
This isn't half Hundreds Of bets have been
freely offered in the city of Richmond, of hco 10
one, that Mr.. Flournoy would be elected, but
very, very few of them have been taken. Those
accepted were taken up time since, but the
confidence of the Wise party has 40 rapidly de-
cned that there ~ no possibility now Of getting
ono of them 10 bet They are dozen. DOWN,
DOWN; and no power can raise them up Penny
Post
The circumstance referred TO in the second
paragraph came within our personal observation.
We henrd the wager made, and saw the $1,000
staked. We know, furthermore, that the party
stalking tho $4,000 allowed the proposition TO
stand oren, some time utter the hour for clio
sing the bet expired preferrng the wager
should be taken, to claiming the forfeit. W.
were Informed, also, that The same party was anx=
iou- II bet $l5OOO in the snme wny-namely y
two TO one on Flournoy We suppose the De
mocraoy have become too moral TO bet.
