A letter from New York, published in the
Richmond Enquirer, declares that the South
ia entitled to the nomination for President,
by the Charleston Convention, aud that if
she does not ask it, she will, sin most push
Luminous manner stuitiiy herself" The
writer then argues that Gov. Wise should
be the candidate--that he could carry every
Southern State, and stand as good chance
as aDy other man, Senator Douglas not ex-
cepted, Of carrying enough Northern and
Northwestern States, to make him President.
The letter concludes with declaring that
"Gov. Wise is popular North, South, East
and West. Heis thoroughly sound on tiuau-
cial bankrupt, tariff, and States Rights ques-
tions; be is "the great representative man of
the day"--"the tribune Of the people," bis
proud escutcheon is as bright as FURNISHED
gold; and be is the embodiment of the sterness
and most unbending principles of truth and
honor" We have no doubt but that, from
this time forth, the friends of Gov. Wise will
