10 consequence Of some remarks in the
Richmond Enquirer concerning transactions
in the Stanton Convention, in 1854. In this
Card MIR. Irving applies his language to MIR.
o. Jennings Wise, one Of the editors Of the
Enquirer, "being aware Of tie responsibility
attached to the dsnunciation"--an Gays that
''he hopes to be able to meet it as becomes
one who feels that circumstances have neceS-
STATED the defiance Of bullyism, and, the ex-
posture of a deliberately corrupt purpose to
bully the democracy Of the State"
1t appesrs that harsh feelings have existed
between the parties for some time. for in bis
Card, Mr.. Irving ssys:--"Mr. o. Jennings
Wise cannot be possibly ignorant of the fact
that have expressed opinions of him derog-
atory to his character as gentleman. The
expression of these opinions has not been
c!andestine. but, to the most intimate friends
of Mr.. o j. Wise. Since their expression |
have been frequently in Richmond, and ready
to meet any demand which might he made
upon me-" We are sorry to see differences
taking the turn they do, in our state, in
reference to the present discussions In one
of the political parties.
