Pyo~p~cts os a Separate Northern Demos, n

The plot thickens. We spread before our
readers this morning the letters of Governor
Wise. of Virginia. and of Senator Douglas. aud
the Hon Mr., Harris, OF Illinois, to the late AS
scmblagc of the antiIecompton, an,iadmins-
traton democracy Of the city Of Philadelphia.
We give them, because we know that at this crisis
they will be read with interest by men OF all
parties. and especially the letter Of Governor
Wise. The party Of Governor Wise in his State
Legislature. and the Virginia delegation in Con
gress arc unanimously against him; and yet the
boldest, the fiercest and the most indignant pro-
nuncidricnto that has emanated perhaps. from
any quarter against this Lecompton constitu-
ton. ms a fraud trick n cheat. swindle. aud
an infamous and insuilerablc outrage upon po-

Governor Wise.

nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan. and who labored
with such sleepless energy and vigilance in be

be done; we only venture to hint that the soon

it tells rather severely, not only against Mr..
Peabody s Judgment, but also against his COM

say that the only difference between George

frightened, all with obligations to settle at very
Fad losses. So the effect is only seen upon the
stock market, which seems to go up at the rate
of two or three per cent day, and promises as
yet, nothing like halt.
1t is high time that the few survivors of the

themselves to provide proper channels for the
impepse amounts of money which are stag
mating at the great financial centres. The old
borrowers have broken down, for the most part,
