Gov. WISE on SLAyERY.--Goyernor Wise,
of Virginia, has recently written to an Ala
bama editor-who, in rash moment, put the
Governors name up for President-a letter
which fills nearly thirty closely printed COL
umns,-in regard to the slavery controversy and
the exciting questions in reference to it which
are now exciting public attention. The ex-
treme length of the letter will prevent its gen
errl perusal or republication but it is nevafA
helcss attracting considerable attention from
the Characteristic ability displayed in it,
Some idea of its nature may he formed when
We state that Gov. Wise announces his oppo-
sition to the doctrine of non-interventiou by
Congress with slavery in the Territories which
has hitherto been advocated by the Democrat
ic party. He denounces the surrender by
Congress of its rights and duties on that ques-
tion and while he contends that Congress
cannot prohibit slavery in the Territories, he
claims that it is its right and duty to protect
it there against all unfriendly legislation He
denies the authority Of Territorial Legislature
to tax slaves, or in any way to prohibit slave
ry. His idea Of Popular Sovereignty is, that
it can only be fully enjoyed at the moment
when State Constitutions are formed, prepara-
tory to admission into the Union, at which
time he supposcs full dominion can be exer-
ciScd, in regard to slavery as well as all other
subjects. Ho contends that the Constitution
guarantees to slavery in the Territories all the
protection it requires, but that the power OF
Congress to assist in securing such protection
should not be surrendered.

THE ADuLTERAT1oN OF FOOD.

The subject of adulteration, as relates TO
what we eat and drink, is attracting more than
ordinary attention on both sides of the Allan
sincerely trust that the attention of those i'm
mediately concerned, the consumers as well
as the sellers, will be sufficiently aroused to
induce the adoption of some remedy. Ac-
coIding to the New York Knickerbocker, the
articles enumerated are adulterated asfollows :
In -four there is alum, bone dust, powdered
lints, and plaster of Paris : In bread, besides
all these ingredients, there is chalk, pipe clay,
carbonate OF ammonia, Sulphate of copper and
sulphate of zinc.
Sugar-Wheat and potato fours, tapioca,
starch, water, lead, iron, and chalk, pipe-clay,
plaster of Paris.
C0ffee-Chicory, roasted wheat, rye, and
potato flour, roasted beans, mangel wurZel
acorns, burnt sugar.
Cocoa aN Chocolate-Maranta, East India
and Tahiti arrow root, Tons les mois; the
-four of wheat, corn, sagO, potato, and tapica /;
sugar, chicory, cocoa husks, Venetian red,
red ochre, lard, tallOw, mutton suet.
Tea-Exhausted tea leaves, leaves Of the
horse chesnut, sycamore, plum, beech, plane,
elm, poplar, willow, &c. lye-tea, sand, starch,
black lead, gum, indigo, Prussian blue, turme-
ric, Chinese yellow, China clay, soapstone,
rose pink, Dutch pink, Chrome yellow, Vene-
tian red, carbonate and arsenite of copper,
chromatc and bichromato of potash, carbon
ates of lime and magnesia.
Picklcs-Salts of copper.
Honey-Flour, cane sugar chalk, pipe-clay.
Lard-P otat o-flour water, mutton suet, salt,
carbonate Of soda, caustic lime, alum, potash.
Finegar-Water,b burnt sugar, ,sulphuric acid.
The above is indeed startling list, and sick
ness and death are concealed in variety of
tempting forms. Is it not possible to estab-
teration OF food and drink shall be abolished ?
Our medical authorities should take the mat
ter in hand, and make such an exposition as
could not but arouse public attention to such
degree as to induce some salutary change.

DAMAGING DEvELoPNESTs.-Some of the
democratic" editors who sympathize with
the movement OF the independent Democrats
of the State, are making expoSitions, and
promise more, extremely damaging to sour
venerable President.'' Among them is the
editor of the Huntingdon Globe, who in late
number of his paper, says:
We have on file an interesting letter of At
torney General Black, written shortly after
Mr.. Buchanan took his seat as President.
This letter denounces Democrats who favored
the sale of the public works as in league with
the sKnow Nothings and AboIitionists,' - to
rob the State-and gave them to understand
that Mr.. Buchanan had determined to come
dorm and prescribe such for daring to think
that the State would be better off if relieved
OF the management of the works. Some Dem
ocrats may think it impossible for Presicent
to stoop SO low-yet it is nevertheless true
that James Buchanan did turn Democrats out
of office, and kept others out, because they
favored sale, and appointed men to office
who had no other recommendation than that
they were opposed to the sale of the ditch.

THE oBERLIN CASES.

Sentence has been passed upon Bushnell and
Langston. the two Oberlin men against whom
the Judge and District-Attorney for the North
tanning verdicts. Bushnell was sentenced to
60 days imprisonment, fine of 5000, and the
costs of the trial, which must probably amount
to more than double that sum. Langston was
sentenced to fine of S100, and the costs of
the trial. The Court also directed the Marshal,
in case he might, for any reason, consider the
Cleveland Jail an insecure place for the con-
fnement of the prisoners, to commit them TO
such other Jail Of the district as he might
see fit.
1t is the intention of the counsel, now that
final Judgment has been rendered in these ca
ses, to make new application to the Supreme
Court of Ohio for writ of habcas corpus, the
objection upon which the former application
was refused having now been removed. The
District-Attorncy, in arguing motion which
he made for the postponement Of the other
cases till July, stated that he had received
notice to that effect, and gave as one reason
for the postponement which he requested, the
necessity he would be under of appearing be-
fore the Supreme Court to resist that appii-
cation.
He also pleaded another duty, to which the
United States Government had directed him
to attend. Five of the witnesses Oh whom he
relied-the parties, namely-from whom the
rescue had been made, had been arrested IN
der an Indictment found against them for
kidnapping. They must appear at Elyria on
the 18th instant to answer to that charge, and
he had received orders from Washington to
appear and defend them. Two other of his
Kentucky witnesses, the owner OF the slave
rescued, and the Clerk of the Court, by whose
signature the power of attorney had been au-
thenticated, had suddenly started off for
Kentucky without giving him any notice of
their departure. The counsel for the prisoners
strenuousIy resisted any continuance, and in
sisted on their right to an immediate trial,
especially such of them as were in custody :;
but the Judge granted the motion, and direc-
ted continuance of the cases to the 18th of
July.
