90 what you please with this letter. HENRY A. WISE.
The simple meaning OF al this fustian and fan
faronade is that Governor Wise has h.s eye fixed
upon that expected increase in the price Of mig
gers 10 five thousand dollars head with the cleo
ton Of Buchanan, and Kansas as a slave State by
the Union be worth should the Governor be de-
feated of this increase N the price Of niggcrs,
with the election of Fremont? But what gassy
chap is this model Virginia Governor-a verita-

this difference: that Gov. Foote has rcpented OF
his Niger driving democracy, turncd Know No.
thing, and gone TO California; while Gov. Wise
gets worse and worse as a Niger driver, aud
raves like lunatic about the price Of niggers
But we remember that in 1850, during
tie discussion of this everlasting niger
question in the Senate az Washington
Governor Foote gave notice one bright Thursday
or Friday morning, that If they attempted In the
House, on the following Monday to force through
the admission Of California az free State. as
they threatened to do, the Southern members Of
that body would whip out their revolvers and
bowie knives open bloody revolution, and be
fore sunset the Union would be bustedr He
seemed to think, as Governor Wise appears to
think, that the Union Is as weak as an old beer
barrel filed with ginger pop. and that the kick
Of an "ebo shin y or gizzard foot would
cause an explosion-phiz pop. bang and all is
loet!
Now. we find Governor Foote in the free State
Of California, Know Nothing candidate for the
very Senate which, according 70 his prophecy,
ought to have been cxtinguished six years ago.
So with Governor Wise. lie talks like fool
when lie says Fremont's election will inevitably
result in dsunion. Bah. stuff Governor. il
won't do Messrs. Toombs, Fillmore and Blu
chanan have tried it; but II was no 90. You are
sold, Governor. It's an old joke. But don't be
alarmed about your niggers. Fremont only pro
poses TO keep them out Of Kansas. for fear they
may catch cold in those high attitudes Really
and honestly, is il not too cold there for niggcrs
Governor What's the use, ten Of slaughtering

gers? That's the question.
