Upon the next Legislature will devolve the elec-
ton of two United States Senator's besides the duty
of filling many other important Offices. The oppo-
sition, headed by Mr. McRae, do not hope to sue.
ceeG in the Gubernatoria race; but they do expect
so to dsorganize the Democratic party in the va
rious Counties to secure q sort of balance ofpow-
er party in the Legislature. Mr.. McRae and his
knoaoing allies working. not SO much for the
Governorshp for seats in the United States Sem
ate and for the chief State Offices. Their regard

the searcher of all human hearts.

unanimity with which our Democratic friends. in
all portions of the State are ralying to their cher

organization. Let the good work 60 on, and We
shall sweep the Legislature by unprecedented ma.
jority.
We concur entirely with our friend of the Char.

on this subject. He says
"In view of these things we call upon our Demo-
cratic friends be united Now is the time for all
true Democrats to stand up to party organization--
Without organization no party can succeed, and to
the fairly expressed will and preferences of the par
ty all should yield cheerful assent This is the
true principle-thls IS Democratic. In common
with other men, we have our individual preferences,
but that shall prevent us from yielding to the
decisions and wishes of the Democratic party
AS we have before remarked, are in favor of Civ
ing the srhole party voice in its affairs, and when
ever the will of majority is ascertaned We are
ready TO assent and ask, as public journalist all
others to do
Our Object in penning this article is to warn our
Democratic friends against neglecting the county
elections during the present campaign. See that
good and true Democrats are brought out for the
Legislature, and then to it that they elected

Letter of Governor Wise.
PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, F

PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, Feb 9, 1853.
letter of nearly four columns from Governor Wise,
in response to an invitation to attend the Anti-Le-
compton meeting held here last evening, will be pub
lshed in The Press tomorrow morning.
Gov. Wise says that careful review of the Presi-
dents Message constrains him to differ with the Presi
dent of his choice He protests against the mode in
which the LecOmpton Constitution pretended to
be submitted anti-republican and oppressive, and
as offensive to the sefrespect and moral sense OF
free people He admits that the conduct Of the TOpe
kates violent and unlawful, and that their oppo-
nents acted under lawful authority up to the submis
sion of the Constitution to the people. But that has
nothing to do with the issue: Is the Constitution the
act and deed of the people and is the schedule re-
publcanl The wrong of the Topekates will not JUS
tfy the wrong of the LecomPton Convention, nor
cure the defects of the Lecompton schedule,
which, though providing for its ratification
rejection, submitted for approval alone,
without allowing vote upon its rejection.
He contends that there was obviously sinister and
anti-republican purpose in thus giving unfair cleo
ton as to part of the Constitution with election
to the whole. He denies the assertion of the President
that people could have proceeded with more regu-
larity in the formation of a Constitution than the
people of Kansas have done. The people were not
allowed fair election al all A fair election could
not be held under the Schedule, appears from its
face. He cOmbats the Presidents idea that the adj
mission of Kansas would speedily end the agitation in
Congress and ocalize il in Kansas. He declares that
it never be local. Again, It's all essential that the
settlement shall be just, right and equal and II not go,
il is sure to be mschievOus to that party snatchng
power without right and doing wrong that good may
come. The ulterior effect of adopting the LeoonP-
ten Constitution will be worse than referring
back the question for territorial decsieIl. IL
will arraign the Democracy and the South
for demanding more than is right. it will return
the chace to our own lips, when the Kansas question
again and again arises in our boundess domain of un:
settled Territories Ii will drive away Thousands OF
honest Democrats to raise the Black Republican flag
over the Capitol in the next struggle for power, and
then raise the last dread issue of disuniOn.
He concludes by addressing the Committee as the
friends of Mr. Buchanan and the Administration who
have his best wishes and warmest frienship, and
whom he would save both from danger and defeat.
He trusts in their pure and patriotic motives, but he
regards much more the Democracy of the South and
the Union and processes anxiety for their fate. For
himself he fears nothing-fmly standing the right,
in spite of friends and foes.

the Indians, he would say: Protect those poor Ia
dams against their white aggressors-put a stop to
the wrongs and robberies committed upon them
withdraw your Indian agents, and there will be no
need to send troops against them. Mr.. Foot con-
tnued at some length in similar strain closing with
the remark that, in the absence Of foreign war IN
the absence of internal discord and in the presence Of
pending national bankruptcy he thought that it would
best substrve tie interests Of the country to vote
against the bill in all its parts
Mr.. PUGH tOhiO) said that if gentlemen would
bring IN a bill reducing both the Army and Navy, he
would vote for it.
MIR. BENJAMIN La opposed the bill. He had
looked through all the reports and documents tue
subject without seeing any good reason for increase
OF the Army The expense would amount to one
hundred and forty millions. He was willing to sup
port the Administration in any reasonable measure,
but could not vote for such proposition.
Mr.. HANLIN (Me.) opposed the bill. He would
not vote adOlar to Kansas Utah, and would never
sanction by his vote Executive war. He agreed
with the Senator from Vermont and would recall the
troops and officials from Utah. and leave the Mormons
to their fate.

manifested by such signs hootng by the students,
and throwing OF water by the fremen There is much
