Frank L. Wilson, Esq.

We take pleasure in copying, from the Regis
ter, the following Card from Mr.. Wilson. We
have ever considered and do now consider Mr..
Wilson loyal to his party and true to its best in
terests and to argue that he is not because he
has circulated the Working mems Address (" is
simply ridiculous:
Mr. Syn,e AS you have published the cor
respondence referred to below, feel assured that
you will do me the justice to publish the follow
ing
CARD.
As several of the newspapers of this State have
published a correspondence which recently took
place between Gov Ellis and Daniel G. Fowle,
Esq, of this City. in which my political charac-
ter is directly, and my pereona reputation indi
rectly, assailed. deem it not only my right, but
my duty, to defend both. This ! can and aoW do
be the consequences what they may to myself or
to others. When that correspondence was pub
lished very ill and it is with much difficult
ty that / now write. [ only ask suspension of
Judgment for a short time, confident that [ can
triumphantly vndicate myself For the present
content myself with pronouncing the charges
made against the q" Working Mems Association" !"
Association and against myself, as an indi-
vidual, fnlse-fase in part, false in whole, and
false in every particular, matter upon what ev
idence founded. Before God and my country, |
never thought of doing that with which am charg-
heard that Gov. Ellis had denounced me for 90
ing it.
trust that sense of Justice will prompt those
editors who have published the correspondence al

card place in their columns.

THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
1t is emphaticay denied on behalf of Heenan
and Sayers, that either party desire the battle to
be considered drawn, and it is still claimed for
each that he could have won in few minutes
more had the fight been continued.
George Wilkes, of New York denies, in let
ter to the London Times. that the referee stop
ped the fight at the request of Heenan or his
friend, and asserts that Heenan virtually won
but Will be ready to renew the struggle at an
hours notice. and will accept of no other trophy
than the belt which he came to win, and which
he honestly believes he did win. He believes he
can win it again. and will not leave England till
he brings the late contest to new and due con-
cluSion.
Considerable sumsof money had been collected
at London and Liverpool for Sayers, who was to
attend at the Stock Exchange on 2lst, and be pre-
sented with hundred guineas
Nothing had been determined on respecting the
measures to be taken for settlement of the affair
between Heenan and Sayers.
The referees decision was to be made the next
week. The friends of both parties declare their
anxiety for another meeting. Heenan strenuously
claims having won the fight. Sayers friends are
equally sangune.
1t was thought that strong steps will be taken
by the authorities to prevent another hostile meet
ing.

Patience i'm Matrimony.

F8tR6mGe Im UAatEAhhOHys =
A Youth and maid one wintry night,
Were sitting in corners
: His name, we're told, was Joshua White,
And hers was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maiden said,
Beside the young man sitting;
Her cheeks were flushed rosy red,
Her eyes bent on her knitting.
Nor could he guess what thoughts of him
Were in her bosom hocking,
As her fingers swift and slim,
Flew round and round the stocking.
While as for Joshua, bashful youth,
His words grew few and fewer;
Though all the time. to tell the truth,
His chair edged closer TO her.
Meantime her ball of yarn gave out,
She knitting fast and steady;
And he must give his aid no doubt,
To get another ready.
He held the skein-of course the thread
Got tangled, snarled, and twisted:
"Have patience'' cried the artless maid,
To him who her assisted
Good chance was this for tongue-tied churl,
To shorten all palaver;
'tHave patience" cried he. &C dearest girl,
And may I really have her r.
The deed was done; no more that night
Clicked the needles in the corner,
And she is Mrs. Joshua White,
Who once was Patience Warner

And in thy condescension,
We future full of joys,
Too numerous to mention.
There's Cupid's arrow in thy glance,
That, by the loves coercion,
Has reached our melting heart of hearts,
And ask for one inserson.
With joy we feel the blissful smart
And ere our passion ranges.
Wefreely place thy love upon
The list of our exchanges.
There's music in thy lowest tone,
And silver in thy laughter;
And truth-but we will give the full
Particulars hereafter.
Oh we would tell thee of our plans,
Allobstacles to scatter
But we full just now, and have
A press of other matter.
Then let us marry, Queen of Smiths,
Without more hesitatan;
The very thought doth give our blood
A larger circulation.

ssoDe Nobody Wen't get Mad.

We publish the following from the journal OF
Saturday to set that paper, Mr.. Wilson, o"rseJ
and every body else right about the circulation OF
the Working Mems Address The only difference
between the Journal and eurself in reference to
the matter is this: 1t says. now that 1t is stated
in the Standard that Mr.. Wilson didn't mean any
thing by circulating the Address-if he did 1t at
all-and that he has not been opposed to the elec-
ton of Governor Ellis and will not be, that 1t is
all ripht OF course it is, and so would 1t have
been, we contend for Mr.. Wilson or anybody
else. had they been opposed to Governor Ellis
election to have circulated the Address just as
much as they may have desired. Why not!-
thav did il before the nominations-it right
then-or at least no one objected, and of course
II is rrht now and it is ridiculous to make fuss
about it. If the democratic nominee is to be de-
feated on account of the circulating of address
gotten up by dozen private citizens it is sad
commentary OH the time honored principles of the
party But of course all right now, and if
everybody had only have understood everybody,
none of US would have been wrong. Says
the Journal:
We clip the following from the Raleigh Standard
of the 2d inst which paper did not reach this Office
until this morning 1t affords US the utmost pleas
ure doing it enables to relieve the pubic
mind of an erroneous impression. If the Standard
had made the statement on the first appear
of the correspondence in the " Daily Press,
our article would never have been written. We
waited several days, expecting to see something
from Dir. Wilson on the subject, and, nothing ap
pearing we very naturally concluded to wait no
longer Almost every paper in the State had pub
lished the correspondence before it was alluded to
by We do not, however, regret the appearance
OF our article as it enables Mr. Wilson to place
himself in a favorable position before his party
"We clip tie following from the Wilmington
Journal and Will correct Ihe editors in far as Mr..
is rnadi in cdit Mr.
circulated any of these addresses, as Gov Ellis
made to believe by interested parties He snot,
non has he BEEN opposed to the reelection OF his
Exceency, nor has he opposed, by word deed,
the platfon adopted by tie late Convention Mr..
Wilson has been confined to his bed for more than
week, and he is able to attend to business,
have little doubt he will pay proper respect to
his friends of the Journal and all others who seem
to take interest in his future wefare.'

thus solldly triumphant, was invited By name
| to send Delegates to the Chicago Convention,
aud they were not only sent but needed. They
did not obtain their first choice, but their sec-
ond was conceded without hesitation. Thew

their State would vote; and their choice did
| much to secure his nomination. And their
| constituents have heartily ratified their selec-
ton.
If 1t we're possible to concentrate the votes
of the Breckinridge and Douglas factions on
one Electoral Ticket, aud then add the five or
SIX thousand votes of those who pretend to be
supporting Bell, they might still make a re.
spectacle contest. But the Douglas men have
resolved that they will vote FOR none other than
clean Douglas ticket, which tho Breckenridge
men will no more supper: than they would one
pledged TO vote for John Browns ghost. They
are willing to sustain the Electoral Ticket set
tied last March, knowing that il is manly for
their man, but this the Douglas men will not
touch. The upshot will be that the taiIors
who have trusted the Bell fuglemen in Phila.
delphia with new suits on the strength of the
sale of their stock and influence next October,
Will have to wait for their pay at least year
longer There can be no transactions this
Fall, unless at runously low prices.
Ii the Election were to take place next week,
nobody doubts that Lincoln would carry Penn
sylvaula by from fifty to one hundred thousand
majority, and time is quite as likely to increase
as reduce it. The October State Election will
prove little, as Foster for Governor is likely TO
receive the votes of Breckinridge, Donelas.
and Bell men together. He keeps mum as be-
tween Breckenridge and Douglas, though his
sympathies are understood to be With the latter:
and the Bellringers must 90 for him in order

they were swindled into voting for "Poik. Dali

ty on principle, than in any other political as
sociation without the pale of our own. That
party has already inaugurated some of the re-
forms which were principles embraced in our
political creed, and it has given its ssnction to
others, which, if carried out, would go great
length toward accomplishing the aims of our
political action. On the other hand, the OPP
posite of this party repudiates, denounces and
condemns these reforms, as we'll as every priu-
oiple of our political faith; branding us, as a

consequently unfit for any place of public

lean can subject himself to, so as to find any
political affinity there, cannot imagine.
Let US take basty view of our own party
forces and position. Around the smolderin g
embers of our once glowing camp fires a faith
full few still continue to gather. Here and
there a solitary sentinel is seen at his post, re-
minding US that there are yet few Americans
on guard. And although all is still through
out that once vast camp, where but lately the
feet of near million trod, in that camp there
yet remains small band, small in numbers
but efficient in service, and although impotent
in separate action, yet powerful as an ally
The gorgeous ensign of the Union still floats
from its flag staff. Without is heard the din
and roar of battle. The striving forces are in
view. Drawn up in formidable array, on one
side, is seen mighty host, on whose banner
glares the startling motto Slavery and Slave
ry Extension. Among that host there may be
discerned, by close scrutiny, band Of fierce
and reasonable spirits, bearing, as yet but
half unfurled, the black flag of Disunion.-
On the other side may be seen more mighty
host, whose banners, waving in the breeze dis
close the motto--Slavery Restriction-Ci
and Religious Liberty. The conflict is about
to begins Shall this patriot band remain with
in Its camp, Indifferent spectators, aud reek-
less of the issue? OR shall il sally forth, and
engage as allies on the side of justice, philan-
thropy, aud the right!
There was time when your speakers voice
was listened to in that camp with some degree
of consideration, and bis counsel was regard-
ed of some avail in doubtful questions; and,
whether you win bear or whether you will for
lear, hss Eniaa cad 1Ghsei now is, ~ seize
that gorgeous ensign of ours, let it be high
advanced; rally around it all true American
hearts, and in the van of the oppressed against
the oppressor, let the gathering cry be-God
and the Right-Lineoln and Victory!
