THE POSITION OF GOVERNOR WISE
AT Norfolk, on last Tuesday evening, o. Jennings
Wise, son of Ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, ad
dressed the Democracy. In explaining the position
Vi Is MS iather, he used the following language:
sion od hrst to last, throughout all the discus
rn anu agitation of the question of Territorial
government, Governor Wise has advocotaJ tbn
ernmant 4 ol equal protection by the Federal Gov
TO all rights of persons and nronertv in the
tr;nn t%at h. ana 1T was for the sake of this doc
.no .llaC nc ignored with all his energies the Ie-
compton policy of the Administration swb;nb ~
stead OF protecting, directly assaed NOT aa'rad
and essential right-the right Of the neonia of q
Territory, when called to assume the attribntoS q
State sovereignty-to prescribe and establish their
own organic laws for the institution of State gov
ernments, uninGuenced by force, fraud or any sort
OF Federal dictation. [Great applause Go1ernor

"But the single issue presented in the present
contest is: whether, before the settlers come to

may discriminate against the property of one sec
ton as compared with the property of another sec
tion; whether the duty of protection shall be ignored
py the Government and the forum of Justice be
made the arena of partisan politics Such being
the issue, from the first Governor Wise took his
stand IN favor of Breckenridge and Lane. He took
thls stana because the platform upon which they
were nominated furnishes the only thorough asser-
tion OF Southern rights. And here am authorized
to say for him, that if this platform were to be
construed as some have chosen to interpret tiff
the words when necessary inserted in the protec-
tion resolution intend that protection is to be ex-
tended only after aggression is perpetrated-then
the platform would not be broad enough for Henry
A wise to stand upon" Applause.

OF Jacob Forney, late Superintendent of Indian
Affairs for Utah. He was an appointee of Mr.. Bu
chanan, and has lately been removed. His accounts
have been hung up for long time at the Indian
bureau, Where they are in course of investigation
1t Is charged upon him at the Department of the
Interior that his receipts presented as vouchers for
articles purchased by aim, do not show the real
sum paid; but, on the contrary, seem largely in
excess OF actual disbursements There are other
irregularities, but whether there will be default
to the government remains to be seen.
