Impressed Biih the conviction that Mr.. Wise's
heart vas not only not always with the De-

syerY beat, at oae time, and fer many years,
With and for the Wings We have never
bellsyed Dir Wise to be bypocrite--it is
difficult, almost impossible, for man of his
'enthu ,iastic and passionate nature, for one so
bold, 50 fearless, so inpatient of restraint as
Lsis, to be. That he is, oftentimes, the dupe

ernable passions, We readily admit. But that

back these singing and disparagng epithets
would ca. his own brave words, and thus
compromise his own character for sincerity,
frsnkness and honor we do not believe,
aud never can believe, until his own lips
shall declare it. And if ever they d., sup
position that is simply out of tie question,
he will have, himself, pronounced the death
sentinel upon his integrity as a man aud
