Wise was sent for TO confer with them, and he came

that Wise and Douglas pulled together with sturdl-

that Populsr Sovereignty should have full and
honest trial before the whole people at the Con-
oressopsl elections this Fall that buchanan should
call off his dogs aud let ii be free hight all round,
and that bis prescription for opinion sake, the pro-
