Hon. HENRY \. WISE, Richmond, Va.
Dear Strive are in the midst Of q pretty
intense excitement, and have been for the last
three or four weeks, in regard to the John
Brown raid, which has extended to the far
West. Our towns and villages have been
burnt, and private residences; and still the
work goes on by the white Abolitionists and
blacks. Some have been hung, black and
white, and others are in durance vile, and no
doubt several wilt share 4 similar fate.
have, with others, seen going the rounds in
the newspapers, that the Hon. John G. Brock
inridge. our Vice-President, signed a petition
to your Excellency, as Governor Of the State of
Virginia, for q reprieve for the noted traitor
and abolitionist John Brown, and have not
seen it noticed or contradicted. Myself, though
an humble individual, spurn falsehood from
friend or foe, and l wish you to inform
me, by letter, to my address, Major t. D. Muir
ray, Paris, Texas, if the charge be true OF false.
Many others are interested in knowing the
truth in regard to the charge some believing
the charge never was made, and others be-
lieying the charge correct. do know it has
been made in about three different papers.
Your early attention and compliance will
much oblige, Yours, respectfully.

Dear Sir:-Yours OF the 10th August reach
cd me last evening, and to answer the same in
ouiry which you make, made by others, I re-
ply, through the Enquirer" that there is not
one word Of truth in the report that the Hon.
John c. Breckenridge petitioned for the re-
prieve or respite of John Brown whilst under
sentence of death or before. | have no doubt
he fully concurred with me in the justice of
letting the law take it's course. Fight all in
y~aders6a6your State, and hang all you can
catch. VT is time that the slave States We're
ready for the revolution which is coming incvi-
tably, with the purpose to take from them not
only their personal property i'll negro slaves,
but their political property in this glad and
glorious Union. Let neither class of rights be
invaded tight first, and don't let the invaders
seize the power to disarm YOU'D

A Douslasite Estimate of Squntter Sorer

The Mobile Register" of the 2lst August,
says that
1.-THE only question before the public mind
is a theoretical abstraction, fit to sharpen the
wits of ingenious c~asuists, but simply ridicu.
lous as the entering wedge which should
rcnd in twain this great and powerful rcpub'
lie"
If the question, then, is one ofso frivolous a
character, the Tribune very properly asks, why
does Mr.. Douglas run upon it? 1t is The issue
upon which he has deliberately planted him
self, and upon which his followers are dividing
and distracting the Democratic party TO the
utmost of their ability. Why does he not
withdraw from the contest about 'theorcti-
cal abstraction" rather than run the risk Of
"rending nitwain this great and powerful re-
public?"

SENATOR DOUGLAS NOT THE SAME EVERY
wnERE.-Senator Douglas told our people that
the views he presented here in Norfolk, were
the same he proclaimed everywhere.
Senator Douglas and his friends differ. For
instance, we read that at late meeting at Mel
rose, Mass, Mr.. Bailey, Of the Boston Herald,
douglas paper,) made Il speech, which is thus
reported:
"Mr. Bailey devoted his hour to showing
that the Douglas Democracy Is the true mt
sLarery party. Carry ont the glorious doc
trine OF non.intervcntion, and there could be
no more STARE States. Mr.. Bailey said he had
accompanied Mr.. Douglas in bis triumphant
tour through Vermont; and he knew his anti
slarery riews."
We do not know what ~free-soil sentiments
Mr.. Douglas gave utterance to in Vermont, but
we do know that in Illinois he said:
1.-THE people of q Territory can, by lawful
means, exclude slavery before it comes in as a
State; and no matter mhat may be The decision
Of the Supreme Court on that abstract ques.
ton, still the right of the people of the Terrific,
rics to make a slave Territory or a free Terrific,
ry, is perfect and complete"
Nothing of this kind is to be found in the
Norfolk speech NORFOLK ltrgus.

We learn, from Il reliable source, that the
new views broached by our representative in
his recent Jcrcmiads to his constituents, have
received the cold shoulder in Isle of Wight
county, where he addressed the voters OH Mon

there, several Of his supporters approached him
and took final leave of him politically not in
anger, but in genuine sorrow. The General
will find no response TO his extraordinary course
from the national Democrats Of his district
The heartfelt approval he receives any where is
from the ranks Of the Opposition. They like
to see a Democrat making unjust charges

The way in which Douglas was Nominal
ted, and the Purposes for which that
Nomination was made,

kSN9 "Ao
omipation was made,
The following letter from the Rev. G.. w.
Charlton, published in the "Union and Ameri-
cam" of Nashville, Tenn, will show the char
! acter Of the men who were most forward in
securing the nomination of Mr.. Douglas, and
the motives by which they were actuated.-
1t was the votes of such men as this Parsons,
old, bitter, uncompromising enemies Of De-
mocracy, that nominated Mr.. Douglas, and
for a nomination thus obtained honest Demo-
Gratis are asked to give their support. Read
the letter and say whether a nomination from
such parties is worthy the confidence and
support Of true men:
KNOXVILLE, TESS., July -, 1860.
Editors Of the Union and American.:
In looking over your paper Of the Sth inst,
in an article headed, "Mr. Douglas and his
nomination." you refer in very strong and
Just terms to ono LOWS E.. Parsons, Of Ala
bama, who, as you say, 'nrrer an has t.te rotd
the Democratic ticket"
This circumstance brings TO my mind very
striking occurrence which took place in Balti-
more, during the session Of The Convention,
which, with your consent, | desire to lay be-
fore your readers.
You will remember that Mr.. Yancey, in his
Baltimore speech, gave Mr.. Parsons one Of the
most relentless scathings that any man ever re-
ceivcd. Meeting with Mr.. Parsons at Barnum's
after night, I asked him If he had heard the
speech Of Mr.. Yancey. He replied that he had
not. I told him he was quite severe on him.
He asked if he was personal. | told him no;
that he had charged him with being a Wing
and a Know Nothing all his life-that he had
never voted q Democratic ticket in all his life.
Mr.. Parsons, in reply, snid that this was all
true, and that his whole object in getting into
this Convention was, that he might secure the
nomination Of Stephen y. Douglas, as this was
the only way, in his Judgment, to destroy and
ruin his old foe, the Democracy! Not only so,
but he further said he intended his movements
as a ,Jsint to the Democracy-to conceal his
real purposes if he could but reach his aims.
At this stage of the game, now being played,
I have shouldered my responsibility of giving
you these facts over my " signature, and
which were promptly communicated, when in
Washington city, to part of the Alabama dele
