despite the undeniablo eceentrici-
ties Of Gov. Wise, it has very general.
y been conceded that high sense Of
decency and personal respect entered
INTO his character, and constituted a
rule Of action with him. In the heat
OF political discussion it was known
that ne was much given to extravag CANT
denunciation, and attimes, to person.
alltics, which in almost any other would
be grossly offensive, but which in him
wee excused as personal idiosyncracies.
1t was never imagined, however, that
our fierce tribune was essentially,
and at heart a blachguara, from whose
tongue and pen, insult, Yituperation
and bllhngsgate, flowed naturally as
water from u hillside spring; until he
put the seal upon his own infamy by
open and reiterated proclamation of
his scurviness. We give an extract
from a letter which this stilted vulgari-
an has had the audacity to write, and
to publish in the (Washington) Union.
Decent men without regard to political
differences, will agree, that for vulgar
ity and ,unmitigated blaokguardism il is
a curiosity, and entities it's author to
the scorn and contempt Of all who APP
prcciatc the name and character Of a
gentleman. -..
During Mr.. Wise's canvass we werc
everywhere fold by his friends that he
was o paragon ofchiyalry, and model
gentleman, and the State was congrat-
ulated upon the prospect of having for
her chief Executive, q man who would
emulate the graccs and dignity of the
Golden time" and who would in his
person reflect her greatness and her
glory. No small-fry politician was
HENRY A. WISE; nopigmy gentleman;
but giant Of grace and greatness,
upon whose shoulders the mantle OF
authority would rest most becomingly.
This was the picture drawn of him; but
what is the reality? Discarding the
teachings Of association; and the pro-
misses Of his friends; and mindful only
of his consuming hatred of his political
adversaries; with deliberate and malig-
nant purpose, he drags from the depths
OF bitterness of his own heart the most
opprobious epithets of which he is ca
pable, to hurl them at men before
| whose personal and political purity, his

nZ-@ovnaMoa sysrrTrS.

Governors and eX-Governors seem to
be privileged characters in these times;
and it takes about as much pains to be
all the time posted in their manmuyrcs
as it does to keep pace with the eccen-
tricities Of the smaller comets which
once in while attract the admiration.
Extra Billy was considered pretty
good American by some until he went
to Richmond lately to Convention of
the simon pure Democracy, but alack
and alas the fangs Of Locofocoism
were fastened upon him; he rcpcnted
his Americanism, and pledged himself
to support the anti-Amcrican candidate
for President, no difference who, nomi-
mated by the Cincinnati Convention.
But We will stand aside and let our CO.
temporary Of the Hardy Wing tell
the whole story about Extra Billy: Z
yielding to his convictions Of right
he hcroically refused to join the late
locofoco crusade against the American
party; but on the contrary, arming
himself with the immutable truths of
the American creed, he went forth to
battle with its enemies, Of his own po-
lltical household; and many a discom-
htcd competitor can to-day testify to
the Herculcan character of the blows
he dealt. With bold and eloquent pro-
clamation Of that genuine democracy
which recognises the prc-cmlncncc Of
Americans i'll America; and of that
conservatism which looks to the per-
potuation of chat prc.cminence, he did
ycoman service for the cause. NoeV
h0W ,tdiiem! Called to the bar Of the
late Democratic Convention for trial:
The lash Of inccnsed parti2ans is laid
upon his shoulders with ungrudging
might, and with their Kisses Of disap-
probation ringing in his ears, no meek
ly kisses the hand which smitcs him, and
pleads for admission to their ranks once
more. Indignant, they point to his
treason, and bid him be gone, but with
the air of Amiiidab Sleek, in his meek
est moments, lie whincs out his protes-
tations Of continued attachment to
'Dcmocracy,' and swears to sustain the
nominees Of the Cincinnati Convention
be they Jew, Gentle, or pure Afri,
can wool, fiat nose, odor, obo.skin
and gizzard, foot and ALL" This was
the open sesame Of Gov. Smith; and
Extra Billy walked right into the dc
mocratic fold, and right into the atFcc-
tons Of his fellow spoilsmen. How
pleasant il is for brothers to dwell to-
gother in unity" and how true it is al
so Of the democratic party as charged
by Calhoun, that they arc "hcld to-
gcther by the cohesive power Of public
plundor," and that without this bond
Of union they would cease to exist as On
organization"
