date for Governor, John Letcher, gave both to
Wise and Douglas a still more significant re-
Duke.
Mr.. Wise (son of the Governor) introduced q
series Of resolutions first, endorsing the admi-
nistration secondly, "rcjoicing unfeigncdly in
the late victory SO gloriously achieved by the
loyal democracy of Illinois," and thirdly, de-
claring it the imperative duty" OF Congress to
provide for the security of slave property in the
Territories. Here il is evident that the great
object in view was the endorsement of Douglas
by the Virginia democracy; but though the de-
vice was nicely sandwiched between the two
other resolutions, it failed True, on the first
blush, under cover Of strong puff for the admi-
nistration, the Douglas resolution was passed.
But very soon thereafter some of the old stagers
smelt the rat whereupon Mr.. Pryor (Roger, we
suppose), who had voted for the resolution,
moved reconsideration This motion being
carried, the resolutions were laid upon the table
upon the refusal of Mr. Wise to withdraw them;
and thus endeth the second lesson of Wise and
Douglas in Virginia democratic State Conven-
ton. Wise is done for, and Douglas is left out
side the door.

The American Policy Of the Message-It
Effect In Europe and al Home.

The clear, sagacious and statcsmanlike recon-
mcnda,ions Of the President relative to our po-
Icy towards the territories south of us make
the recent Message 10 Congress one Of the most
remarkable state documents that has ever ema-
mated from the executive chair
That the Development Of that civilization Of
which we form the active centre on this conti-
ncnt must take a southern direction has been
evident to the reflective minds Of the country for
two generations at least; and in the popular idea
it has become permanent impression, which is
not inaptly expressed in the indefinite, though
on used term, manifest destiny" But none of
our statesmen have hitherto vcnturcd to mark
out line for that development, and to give il
direction and law which should keep Il within
the limits Of judcious control, and at the same
time accept the responsibilities of our charging
future. In the absence Of this wisdom on the
part Of the administration, and foresight among
our Statesmen, private enterprise has from time
to time usurped what should have been the func-
ton Of the government, and cndcavorcd to act
in accordance with the law Of our progress. 1t
was this law which-after the contamination Of
the purchase Of Louisiana and Florida had
caused a relaxation in the extending policy Of
the government-st stimulated our citizens to ac-
oept the invitation Of Mexico TO colonize Texas
and California. gave rise to the enterprises Of
Lopez and Quitman against the Spanish power
in Cuba, and finally bund vent in those Of
Walker against Sonora and Nicaragua. In re-
commanding the bringing Of this popular move
ment under the control Of our national power,
Mr.. Buchanan has done what should have been
done years ago. lie has inauguratcd a truly
American policy, which will consolidate and
strengthen us as a nation and will have an effect
upon our national career far more remarkable
than did the will Of Peter the Great upon that
Of Russia
But great az will be its effects upon ourselves,
the effect upon Europe Of this consolidation Of
our national policy will be far more marked. II

every Cabinet The policy that is making the
greatest impression upon the Old World now is
that Of the Anglo-French alliance. II has made

derived from us the power which has enabled IL
