WISE GRowING III FooLIsnNEss. - The
speech of Gov. Wise to the medical students
who recently made their exodus from Nor
thern college, is, we think, the most foolish
he has ever made The Governor so intensely
hates the abolitionists' that he is not willing
they should have share IN the five millions
worth of oysters" which are annually taken
out of the Chesapeake Bay, nor the half mil
lion of insurance money that goes out of that
State. He even begrudges them the Virginia
coal. He says:
81 have been si.ning patents for the last
three months for the county of Rtchie, lands
which contain unlimited quantities of the
best gas generating coal in the world; and if
you ask who owns them, you will find that
they are chiefly in the possession of Northern
men or at least will be before twelve months.
| They buy land at tive cents an acre, and one
peck of the Richie coal will thus purchase a
whole acre of land. | would possess our
selves of these sources of wealth. would
then arm the people,
1t will thus be seen that Gov. Wise wishes
to rnonopolize the Virginia gas, of which ar
ticle, as his speeches indicate, the gubernato'
rial consumption is immense. The rigmarole
which he poured into the ears Of the Virginia
youth would have served as an emetic to any
Northern body of medical students. 1t shows
that his cxcelency is partially insane or ex
tremely foolish.

u lS e A N I N q .

There is wealth of dreaming done
In this strange world Of ours;
We never are too young or old
To court its magic powers.
The infant in its cradle dreams
The old man in his chair;
Their radiance crowns the middle aged,
And makes our childhood fair.
And, 50, to-day I'm dreaming Ger
The honrs that now are fed,
And mem'ry's pencil paints anew
Loved faces 'mong the dead.
Nv father, at the Island home,
Sits in our midst once more;
Grandmother plies her knitting work
And pets the child Of four.
All, golden days! oh. sunny hours!
Why grew your brightness dim!
Why fadeth out the peaceful calm
OF childhood's holy hymns
WHY is it that we wake to find
IT'S all pleasant dream.
Yet, thankful for its visit, strive
TO catch the parting CLEAN!
It is not strange we turn away
From sterner duties here
To con the glowing visions that
Once made our path so clear.
We hug the past with tender leve'
For there our treasures lie
The loving and the beautiful
Are things that never die.
Dream on, young hearts, the future holds
The Will o Wisp of life,
That leads you down its marshy wales
And up the hills of strife;
Yet, often weary, soon you'll lind
That joys within the past,
In all the years that God may give,
The purest pleasures cast.

The way they serve Irish Demo
cr:ltS down South.

We copy to-day an account of the whip
ping and tarring and feathering of an Irish
man, James Power, Democrat in his poll
tics, in Columbia, S. c., for expressing his
opinion against allowing competition be-
tween the labor of white mechanics and ne
groes This is good Democratic doctrine in
the North, and James thought it surely
would be the same in the South. James
undoubtedly thought it all right that the
"niggers" should be slaves, but he had not
been made aware of the fact that a poor white
mechanic in the Democratic State of South
Carolina was of less account than "nigger." !"
He had probably learned from Chief Justice
Taney that "a negro has no rights which a
white man is bound to respect" but he has
learned the equally Democratic doctrine and
practice, as carried out by the Democracy Of
South Carolina, that the white mechanic has
no rights that even "nigge," is bound to
respect. He uses the Democratic right Of
freedom of specch-nothing more-and is
fogged by 'nigger''-thirty-nine lashes
with cowhide, Democratic legislators look
ing on and laughing.

or, makes speech in New York lauding
