GOV. W Use and others who have been recently utters
ing volcanic threats of dissolving the nlon in case
Buchanan should not be elected. Mr.. b. recently nd
dressed meeting II two thousand persons at Peters
burg, and 10 the of his lengthy effort he thus
alludes to Wlses charges that he traitor and
that 10 would accept office under Fremont.
"Mr. Wise, forgetting so far his high Office calls
me traitor, when he knew that the question of my /
pardon, it convicted, might come before him who |
had already prcjudged the case. He has the bold
ness to deLounce but lacks the courage to do what
ne calls ok the Mayor OF the city to do for him ar
rest me, as II had committed treason against the /
Common COuncil of Richmond He fotgets It ishis /
business to arrest for treason--that ne is liable
to be impeached for neglect of duty his sworn /
solemn duty. Yet he feels iti duty TO play the brag
by writing letters 10 Forney-it was Forney, be.

cause for a dissolution Of the Union. Veil, Mr. |
Mayor, am at your service. All nsk is tina, |
Scott and Wise shall prosecute me. aud shall have
the privileges of defending myself
As to the charge that Dntts W uld accept Office |

Guilty was to find some to head the line to attack
him lie read tho deflition of treason, as deeideu
in the Burr case, to show that some overt act was
necessary to constitute the crime. Ills treason he
said, consisted in defending the integrity of the
Union; and he quoted tho cone aling passage, as
follows:
"Letme tell them that when they attempt it, ito
dissolve the Unon,l for better cause than it has
yet been threatened, for one will meet them ut |
Phillip, and THAT field they will find me kneeling
at no other altar than the altar Of the Union, wor.
shipping at no other shrine than the shrine of the
Constitution, and fighting under other flag than
the stars and stripes OF the United States -
