Letter Of Governor Wise to tile PHILADELPHIA Demo.
cratic Anti- Lecompton Meetino. q.

cratic Anti Lec0mpton Weetlng. :
Pa1LADELpnrA Tuesday, Feb. "a letter of
nearly four columns from Governor WISE in response
to invitation to attend the Anti-Lecompton meet
ing held here last evening, will be published in the
Press tomorrow morning.
Governor Wise says that careful review of the
Presidents Message constrans him to differ with the
President of his choice He protests against the
mode in which the Lecompton Constitution was pre-
tended to be submitted as anti.republican and op-
pressve, and as offensive to the selfrespect and
moral sense of free people.
He admits that the conduct of the Topekate was
violent and unlawful, and that their opponents acted
under lawful authority up to the submission of the
do with the issue. Is the Constitution the act and
deed Of the people, and is the schedule republican?
The wrong of the Topekaites will not justify the
wrong of the Lecompton Convention, nor cure the
defects Of the Lecompton Schedule, which, though
providing for its ratification rejection, was sub
mitted for approval alone without allowing a vote
upon its rejection.
He contends that there obviously sinister
and anti-republican purpose in thus giving unfair
election to part of the Constitution, with no cleo.
ton as to the whole.
lie denies the assertion of the President that no
people could have proceeded with regularity in
the formation offs Constitution than the people of
Kansas have done. The people were not allowed

mission of Kansas would speedily end the agitation
in Congress- and localize it in Kansas He declares
that it be local again. 1t is allessential
that the settlement shall be just right and equal,
and if not SO, it is to be mischievous to that
party sustaining power without right, and doing
wrong that good may come. <.. ~.
The Interior effect of adopting the Lecompton
Constitution will be worse than referring back the
question for Territorial decision. 1t will arrag the
Democracy and the South for demanding more than
is right it will return the chalice to our own lips
When the Kansas question again and again arises
in boundless domain of unsettled territories, it
will drive away thousands of honest Democrats to
raise the Black Republican flag the capitol in
the next struggle for power and then raise the last
dread issue OF disunion.
He concluded by addressing the Committee as the
friends Of Mr. Buchanan and the Administration,
who have his best wishes and warmest friendship,
and he would save both from danger andsde.
feat. He trusts in their pure and patriotic motives
but he regards much more the Democracy Of the
South and the Union, and processes anxiety orther
fate. For himself he fears nothing, firmly standing
on the right, in spite of friends and foes.

Movements of the Democracy.


The Murfreesborough Citizen speaks of meetings
to be held in BERTHE, Gates and Hartford, and ex-
presses the hope that the entre East will be reused
to enthusiasm and activity, resulting in victory and
success" We cordially unite with our contemporary
in this hope. Our Western friends are moving and
determined to be fully represented at Charlotte;
and it is important that the East should be also fully
represented We agree with the Citizen, that " to
ensure harmony and energetic cooperation the Eas-
tern Counties should send up large delegations"
Our opponents are already predicting that the Char
lotte Convention will be an inharmonious body and
that, especially upon the question of internal i'm
provements, it will encounter serious difficulties
We shall have no fears on this score, or on any
count, provided all portions of the State well re-
presented.
Charlotte, though not in the centre Of the State,
is easily accessible by Railroad; and in these days
of Railroad facilities travelling is rather recreation
than otherwise. The Albemare, the Neuse, the
Cape Fear, and the Wake and Orange regions can
all reach Charlotte by Railroad The expense, too,
will be light, as the Railroads will charge but half
price. Surely at crisis like the present--surely
in two years good Democrats afford to give
three or four days service to their country. Re-
solve, therefore, brother Democrats, to attend the
Convention. Go in crowds-go determined to be
harmonious at Charlotte and victorious at the polls
in August. Co. and our word for it you will never
regret it.

National Foundry.


The following letter Of Dr. Emmons to our Repre-
attention Of the friends and advocates of the Ma
tional Foundry on Deep River in this State:
For the Standard
RALEIGH, 9Th Feb, 1868.
SIR: Since the publication of my Special Report
called for by His Excellency Governor Bragg res.
pecting the advantages of the Valley of Deep River
for the site of National Foundry my attention has
been directed more particularly than it previously
had been to an interesting kind of iron ore which
occurs at the Tyser plantation.
As deem the results of my examination of some
importance, have taken the liberty to commune
cate them to you for the purpose of having them at
tached to the report already referred to.
The ore is Of dark brown color in mass, in which
respect it closely resembles some of the haematites
but it is distinctly strated like all other sediments
The powder is an olive, IN which respect it differs
both from the hematites and spccular ores as well
as from the common magnetic ores, whose powder is
black. But like the latter, it is strongly magnetic
and hence it is probable that its chemical compost
ton is not very unlike this valuable 1t differs
from the common argilaceous of the carbonif-
erous system, in the absence of aumina and also in
several other particulars, and Also it differs from
the Blackband in its small proportion of carbon
and its brown color We may, therefore, regard
this ore new kind which may very properly
receive the name of Brown Magnetic Ore, or Mag
netolte, by which it will be distinguished from the
common black magnetic ore of the primary rocks
On submitting this to chemical analysis, found
it composed Of the following elements:
Protoxide of iron ?9.72O
Water, $500
Carbon, '' '4. 'r 1868
Silica, 1000

It contains 81 per cent. Of metallic iron.
The pig metal which remains at the Gull, and
which is supposed to have been made from this ore
is remarkable from its toughness. 1t is therefore,
considering all its properties valuable addition to
the iron ores of the Valley of Deep River. 1t con.
tains neither sulphur, alumina other matter
which can diminish its value for the production o:
iron in any Of its forms. 1t is probable that it
closely related to the black magnetic ore it is adapt
The largest specimen but one, which forwarded in
the box is the in question, and desire it may b
labeled Broom Magnetic Ore, or, Magnetolite.

RESUMPTION q 6rscH PAx4Hzrs--The Banks Of

Petersburg have not yet done so. We presume that
the Banks of th,ss State are awaiting resumption by
the Richmond and Petersburg Banks.

Though the measure was important one, and nee
essary to place our exchange par with the cities
north and west Of us, whose Banks had already re-
sumcd, its effects here were scarcely noticeable Our
banks have for some time past met all the local de-
mand for specie, and therefore no urgency was ex-
h'bited upon the part Of any one yesterday to OBJ
tain gold or silver for their notes. The suspension
OF our Banks, following Immediately upon that of
the Philadelphia institutions, occurred in the latter
part of September and has lasted therefore about
four months, a shorter period than any previous
suspension, and proving that though the crisis was
severe the recovery has been proportionably rapid
The example Of the Baltimore banks will no doubt
be shortly followed by those of Maryland, Virginia
and Norh-Carolna and these indications of return.
