The following letter has been received from Gov
Wise, in response to an invitation to attend the
meeting here last week.
RoLLIsroN-Near Norfolk, Va, !
Sept. LIST, 1860.
GENTLEMEN: In reply to yours of the 18th ult.,
l regret to say chat it will not be in my power to
attend the "Great Mass Meeting and Barbecue in
Raleigh on the 9TH inst. am compelled to remain
at home by the duties of waiting on "a sick wife,
and attending to buildings which am con-
STRUGGLING. Nothing would give me more pleasure
than to meet the Democracy of North Carolina all
with the Breckenridge and Lane ticket as the only
one of four tickets which pro-slavcry man can
stake or touch consistently with my views of our
social safety. We can't divide the Free Sellers,
but they are woefnlly dividing us Our ticket can
but split minorities in the North whilst the Squat
ter Sovereignty ticket is splitting Gorities in the
South! Is the object to elect Lincoln? If so it
is well devised nothing is better calculated to do it.
And my prediction will prove true that Squatter
Sovereignty and Non-Interventon will be but short
cuts to Black Rspublicanism. We will have the
Black flag hoistcd over our heads, and all we
do is to unite the Slave States in solid phalanx
Alas! can that be done? Alas, if not done, any
thinking men looking about for the answer to the
question: what shall be done9 For my part, |
will not conccde, will not secede, will not ac-
quiesce, will not submit, will not compromise
any more, but aoiU fight in the Uiion, as long
can get a respectable or hopeful plurality or mi
nority even of firm, true men to stand by me and
with me for the Constitution and the country
Will the slave States submit to active declaration
Of war upon their property, safety and honor, with
out purpose or a plan of resistence?-that is the
question. l am ready to answer for one that will
not And will not give up the Union either.
In my negroes | have property, rights, in the
Union: have political rights and will not I've the
coward or the slave to give up the in order to
preserve the other and will give up neither, but
fight to the last Glitch rather than either shall be
sailed or destroyed. Let not your mass meeting,
then, be ordinary political partizan gatherings, let
them be solemn assenblages to consider the rights
which they have at stake and the remedies which
they have at hand and can devise against wrongs,
whether perpetrated within or without prescribed
forms. In any event we are on the eve of Revolu.
ton and the question is simply; shall it be peace
full only by our base submission to insult and out
rage? Ifyou wiU .fght, the Union will be saved.
Yours Sincerely,
HENRY A. WISE.

SENATOR SEWARD AT DETRo1T.-Mr. Seward made
speech at Detroit, Michigan, last week. The N.
Y. Journal Of Commerce. says the crowd was vari-
ously estimated at from twenty thousand to thirty
thousand. The same paper says
1.-THE procession, which commenced forming at
one o'clock, was very imposing. Two thousand
Wide-A wakes turned out with twenty eight bands
Of music. A six horse team drawing large wagon
filled with ladies dressed in white, representing the
several States fiat boat on Wheels and rail fence
on an immense platform, comprised some of the
principal features of the procession.
The streets and many buildings along the route
of the procession were gaily decorated with banners
flags and steamers, whole making grand and beau
tiful display"

SOUTHAMPTON Co., Va, Sept 6, 1860.
) Ma ED1roR: While party of gentlemen in .
recent hunting excursion were traversing thicket
near Branchville Depot of the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad, they came upon the remains of
an individual, who from memoranda found about
his clothing, was ascertained to be VIM. H. W.
Wilkins native of your State, and member Of
the Order of the Sons Of Malta. Whether his body
was conveyed to this spot to the foul deed of
some assassin, or whether, as a wandering maniac,
chance had led him to this dreary solitude, and ex
hausted nature had left him tribute to the dreari
ness of the spot, or stung by remorse to despera-
ton he had sought relief by suicide from life that
had nothing but wo for him, remains yet enveloped
in profound mystery. As an act of kindess to the
friends and relatives of the deceased you will please
give this an insertion in your paper-and hope
other papers in the State will cal! attention to the
fact. Any communication addressed to NJ. T. Peete,
near Branchville Depot, will, have no doubt, be
promptly answered.
Yours in haste,

: :. LIE PRESIDENT AND MIX DOUGLAS.
The following letter from President Buchanan has
oeen handed to us for publication. It is written in re-
ply to one from Governor Smith, calling the attention
OF Mr.. Buchanan to remark made by Mr.. Douglas
In his speech at Concord The remark itself is
quoted by Mr. Buchanan in the letter below, thus
rendering unnecessary any preliminary statement or
explanation We will add that, while much regret
ting that there should be occasion for such letter.
we are glad to give it to the public as evidencing
spirit worthy of President and course of conduct
which will address itself to the generous sympathies
of the people:
WASHINGTON, Aug. II, 1860.
Ny DEAR SIR: have received your favor of the
Sth nst enclosing printed extract from the recent
speech of Judge Douglas at Concord You inform
me you expect to be at the Charlottesville Conven-
ton, and would be glad to know something of the
interview referred to" in that speech. According
to this extract the Judge states:
The President told me if | did not obey him and
vote to force the Lecompton constitution upon the
people against their WILL he would take off the head
OF every friend | had in Office"
1t is unnecessary TO quote the alleged reply Of the
Judge.
Surely there must have been some mistake in the
report of the speech because never held any such
conversation with Judge Douglas nor any CONVERSE
ton whatever aolding the least color pretext for
such statement 1t was not in my nature to ad-
dress such threatening and insulting language to
any gentleman. Besides have not removed one
in ten of his friends, and not of his relatives
Even among those of his friends who have rendered
themselves prominently hostile to the measures of
the Administration majority still remain in office.
might add that have never held political con-
versatlon with Judge Douglas on this or any other
subject since the day my first Annual Message Of
the sth December, 1857, was read in the Senate
and | did not transmit the Kansas constitution to
Congress until the I'd February, 1865 the question
of slavery not having been decided by vote of the
people until Dist December 1851
Now, my dear sir, in writing thus to you have
transgressed a rule which had prescribed for my.
self not to contradict any statements assailing my
public conduct and character until after the concu
sion of my term Of office. A statement, however
comes with such force from senator of the United
States who is of my constitutional advisers, and
this. too in published speech delivered by him ir
his canvass Tor the highest elective Office in thu
world, that deem the present case proper exccp
ton
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

70 The Wilmington Journal, Of few days
past, gives an account of negro boy being found
concealed on vessel about to sail from that place.
The Captain of the vessel is acquitted of all COM
pilcIty. but part of the doubtless guilty.
There being none but negro testimoney against
them they were not apprehended The Journal
asks:
Would it not be well for our Legislature, at its
next session to pass law making negro testimony
evidence in such cases as the above? We venture
@say, that if such law existed, but few cases of
the kind would be heard Of
We are in favor Of such a law. A negro that
VIII consent to be stolen is just as good as the man
'hat would steal him, and one that refuses to be
stolen is much better. With the Journal we be-
ieVe that such law would put stop to such cases.

We regard the election of Dr. Powell as an excel
