Some persons find it impossible to discrimi-
nate between respect for the personal qualities
of John Brown and approval of his doings at
Harper's Ferry. In their view, whoever finds
something to admire in that old man, or express
SEES sorrow for his fate, is necessarily conspira.
tor. Yet, the distinction is very plain. 1t is sur
prising, however, that the men who are unable
to see it, do not class Gov Wise with the con-
spirators He was among the first to give public
expression to feelings of admiration for Brown:
and he has done more than anybody else to fix
public attention upon those qualities of the
man which he found admirable. He told
the country, that John Brown was "tbe
gamest man he ever saw" and. also.
that he was "honest truthful and sin.
cere." Here was a call to admiration. with
ample reasons to justify it, 1t has not
been possible for Browns jailors and execu.
TONERS to withhold admiration; and why should
admiration be impossible in the free states
The truth is, Brown could not be hung. nor
even thought of, as an ordinary criminal; and
those who mean honestly will comprehend this
fact and allow it to regulate their Judgment of
the whole matter.

AGITATION IN HUNGARY.--In spite Of the
efforts oithe Austrian Cabinet to prevent it, the
Protestant agitation in Hungary is becoming
more serious. The Protestants Of the conf.

found impression among all Hungarians.

Letter OF Governor WISE to Coz. Chase Of Ohio.
RICHMOND, VA, Nov. %, 1859.
10 HIS ETcettency the Governor Of Ohio -
Dear Sir-l respectfully send to you the in
formation contained in letter to the President
of the United States, of which the enclosed is a
copy. submit it to you in the confidence that
you will faithfully cooperate with the authori-
ties OF this State in preserving the peace of our
coterminous borders. Necessity may compel
us to pursue invaders of our jurisdiction into
yours; if so, you may be assured that it will
be done with no disrespect to the sovereignty
of your state. But this state expects the CON
federate duty to be observed, of guarding your
territory from becoming dangerous to our
peace and safety, by atfording places of depot
and rendezvous to lawless desperadoes who
may seek to war upon our people. With the
highest respect, am, sir, yours, truly,
HENRY A. WISE.
Governor Chdse's Reply.
STATE OF ONO, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBUS, Dec. l, 1859.
Sir-Your letter of the 25th ult, postmark-
Ell 26th, together with a copy of the same date
addressed by you to the President were re-
ceived yesterday. No intelligence, other than
that contained in these letters, has reached me
of any such preparations as are described in
them, and the letters themselves convey no
sucn information IN respect to place or per-
sons as is necessary to enable the authorities
of the state, i'll the absence of other intelli-
gence, to interpose with any certainty Or eff
feet. Whenever it shall be made to appear,
either by evidence transmitted by you or 9th
erwise, that unlawful combinations are being
formed by any persons or at any place in Ohio,
for the invasion of Virginia, or for the COM
mission fcrimes against her people, it will UNI
doubleday become the duty of the Executive
to use whatever power he may possess to break
up such combinations and defeat their unlaw-
full purposes and that duty, it need not be
doubted, will be promptly performed.
observe, with regret, an intimalion in your
letter that necessity may compel the authori-
ties OF Virginia TO pursue invaders of her ia
rlsdiction into the territories of adjoining
states. IL is TO be hoped that no circumstances
will arise, creating, in their opinion, such
necessity. Laws Of the United States, as well
as laws Of Ohio, indicate the mode in which
persons charged with crime in another state
and escaping into this, may be demanded aud
must be surrendered; and the people of this
state will require from her authorities the
punctual fulflment of every obligation to the
| other members Of the Union They cannot
consent, however, to the invasion of her terri
tory by armed bodies from other states, even
for the purpose of pursuing and arresting flu
gitiyes from justice. have the honor to be,
very respectfully, yours, S. Z. CHASE.

The DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. = The
caucus held by the Democrats of this city,
last evening, presented a very respectable list
of candidates for municipal officers, some of
whom have done good service for the city in
years past Its candidate for Mayor, Mr. D.
Waldo Lincoln, will be especially remembered
for his active and efficient labors in whatever
has related to the material welfare of the CITY,
But against them we confidently present the
ticket placed at the head of onr columns to-
day, and challenge comparison between them.
There is no issue presented there is no ex-
cuse offered, upon which Republicans can
found an apology for abandoning the ticket
which, by an unparalleled vote, they have
placed in the field. 1t stands as the represent
alive of their principles, and will undoubtedly
receive their united and cordial support at the
polls.
