Wise on colorAAprec,ou, Confession,

From the last letter OF Governor Wise, which pub
hshed yesterday, extract the following spighty
interesting and soul'stirring paragraph
In the next presidential there will be new issues
presented by three parties the white mans psry-thc
democratic; the black mans party-the black republ
cans the mulato paryhe of northern and south
ern know nothings-the ticket OF Mcsss. Fillmore and
Donelson AL nature abhors and mongrels; aud

State Government--an event, then commended
by many Democrats which had not happened for many
long years And this consideration frank admit
did exert inconsdersble influence a few Of the
Democratic voters OF Virginia and make the admission
in justice to those few, with exceeding pleasure. But
equally frank say. that many OF those few have
latterly found their mistake. They have found out
that their Governor is in his natural element only
when personang the character of BLACKBOARD. And we

We have doubt that Wise correctly describes his
