Gentlemen: cannot refrain from expressing
my qualification at the growing interest the
yeomanry Of the country have in the nomina.
tion Of Coy. Wise for the Presidency. at the
Convention which is 10 take place at Charles
ton. They see in him man that is capable OF
doing justice 10 the whole Unon that he is TO
sectional politician; that his mind conprc-
hends the interest Of tho whole thirty-two
States and the Territories His gigantic mind
is not confined TO a single Congressional Dis
trict or State as il is with SO many that would
be leaders at the present day. lie is believed
TO b. the most Constitutional Union man that
is before the people, perhaps Senator Douglas
excepted, hc being equal; but i, is hoped that
the Little Giants friends viii! not press his
nomination at Charleston. rs i; is the South S
turn to have the candidate, and il is believed
that Mr.. Douglas, bclna such an honest and
fair dealing nan, will be willing to wait for the
next race, and then the Democratic friends of
Gov. Wise will bring him up to the scroll, and
then Old Virginia will never tire. TIL. Democ-
