POLITICAL SOMERSETS.

The Southern community were not
many days since thrown into considera-
BILE excitement by letter from his ex-
cellency, Henry A. Wise, to the Tamma-
ny Association of New York, in which it
appeared that he was about to desert the
interests of his Southern friends: but it
appears that there are others who are
willing to go still further, for the sake of
counting the favour of Northern abolition
lists. The individuals alluded to have
gone as far Or farther than either Carl
son or Gerrit Smith, for they have given
us practical demonstration that they
consider the Negro the equal of the
white man-at least the working white
manly employing gang of Negro
Mechanics mark the wordD to work in
the Navy Yord amongst white men; and
in fact given the Negroes the best of the
work. But perhaps these gentlem en-
may make this distinction-they do
not consider the Negro the equal of the
gentry, 1. e. office holders, gamblers,
&C.; but as the workies are of an inferior
order of human beings there is no harm
done in placing the two inferior races to-
gether. Ofcourse the workies will admit
the propriety of this arrangement; espe-
cially those working men who thought
any one who would dare raise Fremont
flag in town should be tarred and feather
ed, even if the flag was raised in jest.
