GOVERNOR WIsE's LETThRoN SLAVERY QrEs-
TIoN.-GOvcrnor WISE has recently written to
WILLIAM f SANFORD, editor of the Signal pub
iishcd at New Auburn Alabama, apaper that
has hoi>tcd his uamc as a candidate for the
PrcSdency--a letter which fills nearly thirty
cIoSe,v-priuted columns in the Richmond En-
quirpr in regard to the slavery controversy
and the exciting questions i'll reference to it
which are now exciting public attention The
extreme length of the letter will prevent its
general peruSal or republication bat it. is
nevertheless attracting considerable attention
from the characteristic ability displayed in it,
We cannot undertake, in this article, to give
even satisfactory al Stract of it but some iCea
Of It's nature may b, formed 10y our readers
when we state that Governor WISE announces
his opposition to the doctrine of non iuterven-
tiOn by Congress with slavery in the Territories
which has hitherto been advocated by the Dem
ocraiic party. He denounces the surrender
by Congress Of its rights and duties on that
question and while he contends that Con
gre>s cannot prohibit slavery in the Territories
he claims that it is its right and duty to pro
tect it there against all uufriendly legislation
He denies the authority Of Territorial Legisla-
turcs to tax slaves, or in any way to prohibit
slavery His idea of Popular Sovereignty is,
that it can only be fully enjoyed at the moment
when State Constitutions are formed, prcpara-
tory to admission into the Union, at which
time he srppoScs full dominion can be exercis-
ed, IN regard to slavery as we'll as all other
Subjects lie contends that the Constitution
guarantees to slavery in the Territories all the
protection it requires, but that the power of
Congress 10 assist in securing such protection
should moth c surrendered.
