Besides sightseeing, people seem TO have
time to discuss politics As well. was amused
last evening by hearing a conversation between
several gentlemen from different parts Of the
country. They had been discussing, and in
not very complimentary terms. the .adlriais;rs-
ton Of Buchanan, when one cethc party spoke
out:
.Wcli, my friends, divcrsins a little from the
Subjcct-who will b. our next PRESIDENT
'IcS-who@' answered another.
Iii settle that question for you mighty
soon. said n tall. ianS Yankee. evidently from
the land OF wooden nutmcgS, and who had been
an attentive listener To the conversation. You
NAV talk about Gov. Seward, and YOU may talk
about Gov. Banks, but you'll find that none Of
Your Black Republicans can go in and win
and YOU may talk about Buchanan, and make a
great fuss about Douglas and them fellows, but,
gentlemen. let me tell you, that our next Pre-
sidcnt will be Henry 4. Wise, Of Old Virginia;
and. by c"llv. I'm for him to the back -bone.-
That my opinion. and the opinion OF all the
folks round my region, and ! tell You. We know
something up our way. Just mark my words
now. Gov. Wise will he the ncNt President Of
these jnltri States. You IL Ste.
This sudden aI.swcr took many Of his hearers
by surprise. but calm dcliberation convinced
the unprecedented that he was not far from the
truth, as was acknowledged by one Of them, u
broker in New York, aud Il gentleman highly
esteemed Tor his private qualities aud public
virtues.
- believe YOU are right, sir, after all" said
he. lin II Douglas man. though Il Rcpubli-
can bat / agree with you. that none but :; con-
s~crvativc man can obtain both the Northern and
Southern votes, and Gov. Wise is Just the man
that can-though. | tell YOU frankly, he is not
my choice
try friend, much pleased. Such seems 10 betiic
general opinion Of the people. Oar next Pre-
Sidcnt must come from either the South or
West, ard it rests in the hands of the Dcnoc-
racy whom he shall he. The election Of dele
gates by districts, 50 nobly ccntcndcd for By the
lion.hcartcd Democracy Of New York, will 60
far to effect Il choice of that man who can lead
on the party TO victory. | have 10 time TO
weigh the claims OF rival Candidates, but |
must say, rs my opinion, and a. that Of SIX
tcnths Of the people | have met, that tie only
man who can unite both the North and the
South, and rally the Democracy 80 Is to lead
them ON As one body, is that great champion
of Democratic rights and principles, Henry y.
Wise, OF Virginia; and, if We may judge from
appearances. he will be the nominee Of the
Charleston Convention. The election Of dele
gates 10 that Convention by districts will great
Is tend to bring out the voice and sentiment y
the people. and at the same time harmonic the
Democracy OF the Union; but should the dele
gates be chosen By a picked committee, there
vii! be two sets of delegates To Charleston,
and in 1850 the Democracy will find them
selves ina minority; Il prey to intestine broilS
and petty SquabblcS; and we Shall likewise see
their present power wrc>tcl from them III the
| hands Of Il now much weaker enemy, III such
a way that many years will eiapsc before that
noble party rcgainS il present power, iniin'
cncc and glory.
Now, in conclusion. let me urge upon all Wis
itor> to stop at the International, kept 10y X. i.
