Resolved, That the Delegate this day elect
ed, is hereby instructed to vote for the Hon.
SAMUEL CALVIN, Of Blair county, as the candi-
date OF the Peoples Party for Governor, and
in the event o. the name of Mr.. Calvin being

MORE TREAsoS.-At recent political meet
ing in Knoxville, Tenn, Judge Baily, former
ly of Georgia, made startling disclosure
touching Gov. Wise. He said that, ssduring
the Presidential contest, (of 1860 Gov. Wise
had addressed letters to all the Southern Gov
ernors-and that the one to the Governor OF
Florida had been shown HMM which Wise
said that he had an army in readiness 10 prerent
fremont from tahing his seal, if elected, and
asking the cooperation Of those to whom he
wrote!'' When the Senate gets through in
vestigating the Harper's Ferry affair, would it
not be we'll to make an equally thorough in
vestigation into the nature and extent of this
conspiracy 2'' In the meantime our Demo
cratic friends might get up series of union
meetings, and express their adherence OF the
meditated sstreason' of Gov. Wise. We shall
watch'with some degree of interest to see if a
single so-called Democratic paper will publish
the above extract from Judge Baily's speech,
and denounce the plot therein exposed.
