DRAwISG THE SwoRD--Newspaper accounts OF
speech made by Mr.. Wise, the other day, In
Washington, report that :. Mr.. Wise promised his
Democratic friends that IT, after his election they
shonld require his assistance 10 defend themselves
from the Know NothiDgs. he would drag his seoYd
and cross the Potomaci So then, If Mr. wise
should be elected this District Of the United States
may prepare herself for an invasion by the grand
army Of General Wise!n
Mr.. Wise seems well nigh insane with the idaa
Of drawing his sword. Visions of war and carnage
seem TO have haunted his imagination all through
the canvass Il is subject for serious considera-
tion with the quiet and peace-oying people Of yir-
gnia, whether they should place the sword Of the
state IN the hands of man so liable to draw Il
without occasion as Mr. Wise.
From the temper and frequency with which he
has made this threat, one might suppose that his
whole object In seeking the gubernatorial Office,
Is TO get command Of the military forces of vir-
ginia, that he may make war on, God knows
whom or what Whether this be so or not, we
really regard Il unsafe, at period of such excite
ment as the present, TO place In the chief execu-
1--we oifice OF the State man of so rash and Inn
pulsive temperament as Mr.. Wise. With the
subjects of agitation and collision with which the
times are so rife, the chances would be about
equal that before the end Of his term he would
involve us In some conflict with another State,
or with the Federal Government that would lead
to civil war and disunion. There never was an
epoch in our history when there was so much
need OF men at the head Of affairs, Of calmness,
deliberation and prudence. The State will draw
the sword itself when there is just occasion--and
or personal revenge ~ y"ehdayy V'ryinian.
