the form of black republicanism upon New
York and the New England States, and upon the
lake borders of other States, should invade us
further South, or our own nationalism or de-
mocracy should drive it back further North"
With this statement of the case we cannot
agree, for it is sheer nonsense. Old England
and Canada had nothing to do with the last
Presidential election. The facts in the matter
are simply these: The miserable spoils policy
of poor Pierce had broken up the democratic
party in New York; his treacherous and double
dealing policy in Kansas had reyolutionized the
whole North, and the general imbecilty of his
administration had disguised the whole coun-
campaign the State elections indicated an
aggregate opposition majority against the dis
mantled democracy of upwards of three hun
drcd thousand of the popular vote
These opposition elements, however, were all
adrift until the NEW YORK HERALD, as a rally
ing point, brought out Colonel Fremont upon
the course. And upon what issues Not upon
an issue from "Old England" or Canada" of
"sectionalism" or "black republicanism, but
upon the practical issue of popular sovereignty
in Kansas, as contradistinguishcd from the de-
moralizing border rufian policy of poor Pierce.
Upon this issue Fremont would have been
elected but for the treachery of the Seward
black republican committees in their 'side
door" management of the Pennsylvania Octo-
Der election. Now what do we see? Mr.. Bu-
chanan, we see, has adopted the identical Kan
sa policy which was the secret of Fremont's
popularity, and we see that, accordingly, the
heavy Fremont majorities Of last fall have been
lost to the black republicans. In fact the
black republicans were drawn into the support
of Fremont against their will; his election
would have crushed them out and hence they
contrived to defeat him. Upon the same Kan
sas policy that we advocated Fremont's election
we now sustain Mr.. Buchanan's administration;
and "Old England" and Canada" were about
as much concerned in the one as they are in the
other.
Passing from this point, we must say that the
hearty good will with which Governor Wise
pitches into" the Southern fire-eating disor-
ganizers meets with our. cordial concurrence.
lie treats 1.-The porcupine opposition of these
fire-eaters to the administration as it deserves
to be treated by every conservative democrat in

with us is against u.s. and let him look
well to the consequences. And thus we
rejoice in the acquisition to our side
of champion so stalworth and jealous
as Gov. Wise. He is with us at last, out and
out, in his defence of the noble Kansas doctrine
of popular sovereignty, our doctrine in the Ere
mont campaign, and the doctrine upon which
we sustain the Kansas policy Of Mr.. Buchanan;
and that is enough. He believes that the peo-
pie of Kansas should have the right allowed
them of an honest vote upon their organic law
so do we believe. He thinks it would only
revive and embitter the slavery agitation to de-
fraud those people Of this sovereign right-so
think We and 80 think all honest men, not for
getting our honest President and the conserva-
tive statesmen who stand around him.
This letter of Gov. Wise will have good ef-
feet 1t will stir up the fre-eaters from Rich
mond to New Orleans, but it will strengthen the
arms of the administration party in Virginia,
and throughout the States, and in Kansas and in
Congress. 1t covers the ground upon which
the administration will stand, and in opposition
to which its factious and insidious enemies will
fall. Gov. Wise is learning and improving from
experience. He no longer whisks about like a
meteor, but shines to some purpose, like light
ship through the fog. He has found an ancho-
rage by the side of the administration, and by
the side of the New York HERALD. Well done,
Governor. The country is safe.
