tailcu therem certainty Is, DUt the I'M
prejudiced Of all parties may decide if
it be not just when we shall have quot
cd tho language of Mr.. Wise. We
would DO better pleased not to be COM
PEELED to apply the epithet "Model
Blaekguara" to the Chief Magistrate
Of the 'Old Dominion but,we can but
pass by the insignia of Office and the
honor Of the station lie holds, to deal
with the arch demagogue and "Ready
letter Writor' Of "Only, near Oman
cock" Mr.. Wise, in descending from
the chair Of State to wrestlc in the
stagnant, mucky pool Of party billings
gate, deserves as he will receive the
lasting contempt Of honorable men and
high minded women who hold in vene-
ration the good name and fair fame Of
Virginia. But 10! and behold! The
man who but little while ago was ell
eyated to Gubornatorial honors by the
euffrages Of eighty thousand Virginians
as an honorable citizen and profound
statesman, has no more sclf-rospect nor
s2licitude for the credit Of the common
wealth that has honored him, than, in
full view Of the whole country, to be
caught throwing the mud balls of low
party vituperation at those, 10000 Of
his follow. citizens and constituents in
Guided in the number) who honestly
differ with him in political principles.
Here ia an extract from recent letter
of Wise, sufficient to brand him mo-
del blackguard, and to disgrace the
Executive incumbent of even the Ter
r.tory Of Utah, in his homo at Salt
Lake city! Read it, Americans, and
thank heaven that reason and judg-
meat were vouchsafed to you, and that
in their exercise you gave your sufra-
Ecs to Thomas S..Flournoy against
Henry a. Wise, and that therefore
you are not a party to the disgrace of
your good old State: Here it is:

there will be new issues presented by
three parties; the a0hie mans party,
the Black RepuJlicans; the Mulatto
party, the cross Of northcrm and south

{" [ ask you to publish this Letter in
the Union, in order to correct the re-
port of the speech Of Mr.. Stuart.
Yours truly & hastily, ......
- HENRY =. WISE"
Tho speech Of Mr.. Stuart referred
to charged Wise with having eulogised
the administration Of Mr.. Fillmore as
7" Washington-lkc." Itia no manner
Of use, and in no respect honest, for
Henry A. Wise to deny his culogjcs Of
President Fillmore in the late canvass,
for they are distinctly remembered by
the people wherever he spoke, whether
at Winchester or at Morgantown. He
eulogiscd Fillmore then 70 catch Wing
votes for himself, and to try to get out
Of it now is as small as bis assault upon
the American Ticket is low and vulgor.
Bat such is Henry a. Wise, the rome

prince, Governor Of the State ronown-

Statesmen T. To-day fairto your face

and as rcschtrul as a crippled scorpion.
