LETTER or Gov. WISE. Henry 4. Wise, the
distinguished and patriotic Governor Of Vir-
ginia, has written Il loag letter in reference 10
the Kansas difficulty. lie neither agrees with
the President nor Mr.. D"ugas, but hc does de-
n0unce the Lccompton Constitution in unIncas
urcd terms.

there was neither right nor justice in it. The
whole Constitution, IN al It's parts, ought 10
have been submitted To al the legal voters.

And so SAYS Mr.. Buchanan. and so say we -
lie closes his long and able letter with the fol-
lowing words, which we especially commend
to the San Francisco Git.I.c:
"And for any difference Of opinion NJ to the mere
mode of submitting solN ing tais question, pro
test that no true honest, earnest Democrat shall he

President for recognizing the fact of the legitimacy
Of the LecOmptOn Constitutions and no Suutherner
ought to d"nouncc Senator Douglas for contending
manfully for the right If the sovereign people tn
adopt reject their own form Of sclfgovernmrnt. "
