To the Editors of the Enquirer: « 4i v Richmond, Va^ Nov. 16,1857. UenUemen ;—You have aeon proper to interrogate me, through the Enquirers u to the position I ocm- T»V* tAIIAlnnn .X* _ a« * . ww . . m . _ r r Jy reply lion* as publicly aa they are put; For more than twelve months * rumors have been circulated that it was mv desire and design to oust Mr. Hunter, !l I could, from his seat in the Senate of the United states; and my name in that connexion has been handled about in conversation and by the press, with a licence which assumed the air of au thority. Uy whom, with what motive, to what end these rumors were started, it is not my purpose now to discuss. My object is to allay excitement and prevent division in the Democratic party of Virgin, to, and to that end I aver, that these rumors are uu authorized, by anything said or done by me, that they are without inundation, and I dofy the produc tion of the proof or evidence that I have ever ex pressed or manifested tho imputed detire or design. After my arduous struggle in 1855 for tlic salvation ol the Democratic party, 1 fondly hoped to havo tho sympathy and support of all its sections in Virginia, and to ba able to act with all in equal confidence, and to servo aU in tho oflico I now fill. I regret to say that in this I was disappointed. A short time only elapsed, after entering unon my duties, before c jealousy and a distrust were seen where I most ex pected confidence and friendly aid and counsel. 1 did iny best, by turning away from this, to avert both its causes and its effect. liut, inopportunely for harmony, tho contest for tho nomination for tho Pre sidency came on early in 1856, and my preference for Mr. Buchanan* entertained for many years, was again made known. I adhered to his nomination, for reasons which noav must be too obvious to every candid and conservative patriot and Democrat, to need either argument or excuse. No other nominee of the party could, probably, have been elected.- Tho.*e was not oue of his competitors for whom would not cheerfully havo voted. I had, in fact, aided, among other frieuds of Mr. Buchanan in 1853, in nominating Mr. Pierce, and in 1855, had intimat ed my approval of other candidates. But, having for his eminent abilities and services preferred Mr Bach anon in 1844,1848 and 1853, and deeming him the on ty candidate in 1856, I co-operated zealously with his meads in securing for his nomination the vote of Vir ginia. Hut no effort was made, no resort had to any means, to secure this, which could justly be com plained of by his rivals and their frieuds. He had, fully represent the constituencies which pre ferred him. And notwithstanding the attempts of those opposed to his nomination, to destroy the pres tige of Virginia by attempting to split her delegation in the Convention, and, in fact, to nullify a majority by a minority, by dividing her districts as well — the State, and to count the Old Dominion naught the nomination, her delegation stood firm as it had done at Baltimore in 1853, when tbirty-lour succes sive ballots were cast for James Buchanan, and the vote of Virginia decided tho Convention in his fa vor. The election proved how pre-eminently popuf lar be was in this “good old Commonwealth. Thir ty thousand majority proclaimed him the choice ■ Virginia, by far more than two-thirds, if not four- fifths of die Democratic voters. A majority of the politicians in jdace preferred others, but tbo people preferred him by an overwhelming, almost unani mous voice. The election was marked by extraordinary mnni testations. The contest was: whether sectional ISM, CAUSED BT THE FOREIGN INFLUENCE OF OLD England and Canada, operating in the form of Black Republicanism upon New York and the New England States, and upon the lake borders of other States, should invade us fur. ther South ; oh our own nationalism of De MOCRACT SHOULD DRIVE IT BACK FURTHER NORTH. Pennsylvania decided that issue; bnt for a time it was extremely doubtful. And in the midst-of that doubt there was heard a low muttering ia the South of a subdued, but sullen discontent among tome few of those who toted even for Mr. Buchanan's election,— The feeling grumbled rather than openly expressed by them, was of a hope that the Black Flag might be raised over us, to rouse tbo Southern people to a re volution which would throw off tho bonds of the Ur ion. It is well known and proudly admitted that, had that flag been hoisted over tho Capitol of tho United States, under tho open proclamations of the election, I for one would have waited for no other “overt act’’ of aggression or oppression but I was. therefore, the more anxious to secure a Democratic triumph,-to prevent revolution and to preserve tbo Union. This separated me from the ex tremists 8ontn. I doubt whether thoy would oil have followed me to the lengths I would have gone, had cause for rev olution been given ; but whilst 1 was for warding off extreme issues by electing a conservative Democrat who could unite all patriots and savo the Union, they, a small and very exclusive clique, were for driving us upon revolution—reluctantly supported the Democratic nominee, and at heart were disap pointed at the Democratic triumph which saved us from the “last extremities.’ ’ The horso and tho rider of Black Republicanism were overthrown, but in tho general rejoicing there was no shout from tho hearts of the Exclusive Extremists. They, however livnest, were sad, and their countenances were dark ai d dismal in the midst of general eongratulations and smiles that the National Democracy had saved our country once more from extreme peril. Soon alter the election of President, and during oil of last winter and spring, that which was at first a whisper becamo more and more audible, until it broke out into a loud and openly uttered voice— ‘that there was a plot to supplant Mr. Hunter in tho Senate by Gov. Wiso and his friends.” Knowing that there was no foundation for this in ought I ha said or done or authorized to be said or done, and the hypothesis presenting itself that there might be Cnemies of both Mr. lion Hu ^joyously smiling pass swiftly away their mother who had given them birth "J atat them to kiss and gladden the earth.

Bnt the timo came for tho organization of Mr. Buchanan’s cabinet. It was arranged by him self, to bis own liking, on his own responsibility, tc suit his own confidential relations in oflice, and was composed of a majority of Southern men, of all sec tions of Southern Democracy, preferring no clique, and of a caste designed to harmonize all elements in the party, North and South, East and West. It was organized on the National platform of tho Cincin nati Convention. As tho head and representative of the party, he generalized as well as he could tlio personel and material of the great Democracy of the United States. This was what a President of the United States should have endeavored to do. It might not please all, individually or sectionally, but it was for all and not tor a part. And the great mass of tho perty was well content and generally ac quiesced in the organization. But the President had hardly been inaugurated, bad but just taken bis seat, had said nothiug and done nothing, besides his inau gural address and selection of bis cabinet, defining or indicating a policy—had not been in office sixty days—not thirty—wlien a Porcupine Opposition rsis and every Southern man who trusted them, withdoubt or distrust or outspoken denunciation. An afluiated press was found organised from Richmond to New Orleans, which opened its batteries of sweeping, ran corona, and vindictive opposition, denouncing cer tain members of the cabinet, and especially certain Southern members, misgiving as to tho foreign, and and exciting suspicion ns to the home policy—warn ing against imaginary ovila—doubting tho good faith ofiiome friends—disparaging others—not spariug tho President himself—and especially denouncing a Na tional Democracy. And all this was begun and pub lished too before Ooc. IValhrr was ever sent to Kansas! We wen to be betrayed before we were betrayed/ The Northern Democracy were not to be retted on! The President was of that Democracy ! ! Now, gentlemen, prior to tho campaign of 1856, thcro were but two lines of sectional division in the United States—the Mason and Dixon, and the Mis souri Compromise lines. They wero geographical, partly in their character, and were well defined and understood. Many evils growing out of them bad boon in the past, and could be in tho future, guarded against But in 1856, another and more ominous lino was disclosed, obliterating all others. It was not defined upon the earth, but rovealing itself by what sailors call a-“Sun-Dog” in the East, it awed superstition like an angry comet portending evil, and shot a black and white gloom looming through the mists of the Arctic iceberg—striking from oyer Old England, by tho Newfoundland banks, cutting off ail New F.ngland and New York, and pasamgmid- way through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and, indefinitely. Westward. AU North of that lino was Black Republican, and all bouth of it was whst W- Wh*t^iJ £i this mean T What portend T Why, it was a sign in the very heavens of the wisdom of Washington’s Farewell Address—to betearc of For eign Influence and Sectional Strife. The constant commercial and social intercourse of New England and New York with Old England, and the imme diate neighborhood of the Lake border with Cana-, da, had let in the wolf of English feeling and pre;u- dice and social habit and fanaticism and influence into our fold against the institutions of the whole United States, as established by our constitutions of Government. It is tho most insidious foe which has ,-,-r invaded our < ountry. It is English influence, icrating socially, uadunninicgotir institutions, ami threatening our peace and safety, bound op in the cords of our National Union. In this sense it is this nation—this whole nation—carnation against its old oiic-mv English influence. And who met that influ ence and backed it from off our nation's soil, past the Mason and Dixon, and past tho Missouri line, as far North as Hie “Son Dog” line, winc h divided Black Republicanism from Egypt l It was Democra cy—Northern Democracy—National Democracy Tho same true sort of patriotic Americanism—ot Brother Jonathaoism—which fought at Erie and Plattsbnrg and Lundv’s Lane, and drove John Bull back into Canada! That is the sort of Nationality I love and cherish, as I love and honor my country— my whole country. WitfT true devotion, in the midst of non-slavenording passions and prejudices— with no tics or associations of their own with slave ry, except National—with Fanaticism thundering Church anathemas and excommunication over their heads—they, the Northern Democracy, whether in majorities or proscribed minorities, with stronj nerves, with steady and unwavering faith, taxe . themselves with heavy contributions,and raised the National Flag of protection over our Constitution of Government, over our property of every sort, over good faith among men, over State rights, and State equality, over popular self-government, over the States separately and united, over the United States, and battled for us and for all, and drove back the insidious and foreign foe to the Sun Dog line, where it yet glooms in defeat. Nothing is so fatally sure to kindle the pale and sickly beam of that “blue light’ ’ line of sectionalism into a lurid flame of fire to de vour our country, as for Southern Democracy tc doubt, distrust or denounce Northern Democracy, after such noble sacrifices as those they made in the campaign of 1656. The Southern Democracy never has done this, and never will, until Nationality, in the sense of American patriotism and devotion to the Union of the American States, ceases to burn in Ame rican bosoms everywhere North and South. Nationality in opposition to Democracy or State rights, I oppose. Toppose pll that sort of Federal Nationality which would consolidate us into one cen tralized despotism. I loathe that sort of Nationality which proposes and adopts Compromises of any sort, of Ihe Constitution o, for the Constitution. But tho Nationality of Democracy, which supports and de lends the _ Constitution and its strict construction, which maintains State rights and Stato equality and keeps the faith of compacts, whicli guards the Union and tbo country, against foreign and domestic foes, 1 honor and cherish and glory in! And this is tho National Democracy which this Opposition, openly developed as early as April last, in the Sonth, assails. If this be stricken down, what have we to rely on or to ally with in tho North ? And, yet, it was to strike at this—it was to follow up, not to begin the blows, that the moment a Governor was sent to Kansas and he moved in his office, his speeches were seized on os a pretext to assail the Northern Democracy and the Administration and its friends. Destroy confidence in these, and then tbo riot of ruin would begin. It was then that conservative Democrats began to ask Is this opposition or not l—if this be what is called the backing of friends, what is the opposition of foes l Is this opposition dangerous or not } Who is it T li’Ao are responsible for a f Who backs it l Whence does come y—to what tend l It was no time to stop and dally with the minor matter of Mr. Walker’s stumj speeches—delivered with what motive, to what en< —pro or con slavery—with good or bad desigu, no oue conld fairly decide, without knowing all the sur rounding circumstances and difficulties in which he was involved. He lmd been a Mississippi Senator. He has been honored and trusted by the south. He had done more for the annexation of Texas than any Southern Senator. He had been Secretary ot the Treasury under a Southern President, and had done more for Free Trade than any man before or since bis time, in the cabinet. Surely the President could trust him not to betray the South which he had thus served and which had thus honored and trnsted him, and not to betray the North which had borne him.— And he is nn able and sagacious man too, whose talents might be trusted to form the best judgment on tho spot as to the best and the most politic move ments. Bat whether ho acted wisely or foolishly, sagaciously or had blundered, or bis iutentious were good or bad. his acts and liis motives were nothing, compared with the weightier matters of the country in volved in this sudden and insidious opposition, which gave no time for developments, or for dispassion ate examination and proof, or even for just rondem nation of him, if be Lad done wrong—but began r hot and heavy war upon him as a corrupt "satrap,” a felon traitor! This could not but reflect upon tho Administration and tho party which nppointed and retained him in place. It was not ingenuous to pretend to discriminate between tho “President and tho Governor of the Territory.” “Like man, like master.” It he was this Criminal, Mr. Buchanan was bound to know it, and if be knew it, he was no better, but rather worse than Governor Walker. This reasoning this opposition knew would seizo on tho public mind, and would, if uncontradictod, in iair confidence in the Administration. It was mi ring nn adverse impression rapidly, when'tho "En quirer” interposed with its tronchaut pen, as of old, and arrested the rush of tho charge on the National Democracy and its representatives in power. It took up the enquiry: “Is not this rank hostility ? Is not this a prepared and premature opposition be fore the Administration lias begun its conrsc—before it ’has met its first Congress, or sent its first mes sage T VVhat does it mean? Whoso is it ? Who backs it?” I thank the “Enquirer" for that blow. The sbado of the Old Napoleon of the press smiled in his parental hovering over the “Enquirer,” when that sturdy blow fell in its stroke for his darling De mocracy. Iu my inmost heart I felt right well when that brave blow was struck. It was brave and Dold to strike it; for tho Public Printing, ■■ well as the Senatorsbip, was at stake, it seems. The activity in the elections last spring looked not only to tho Incumbency of Mr. Hunter, bnt to the incumbency of tbo “Enquirer" too; and, doubtless, to all the great interests involved. Tho “Equirtr,’ assuredly, has saved the Democracy of Virginia from being involved in this Porcupine opposition. AH this time, it was not known whether Mr. Hunter took any part in this opposition, though many of bis most activo partisans did; and hence it was suspec ted that if be wns not a participant in it, bo was to be the beneficiary of it, if it should succeed. Certain it is that what was at first rumor and surmise about my alleged design to contest with him bis scat in the Senate, was turned at lost into a taunt to mo and my friends. “Run if you dare, yon cannot beat Mr. Hunter.” It was ram to reply: “ 1 do not desire to beat him." Tho taunt came back : “Yon do, or you do not desire to beat him. If you do, we are taking the steps to defeat yon; and, if you don’t, you will be de feated anyhow. In either ceent it trill be sceminly man ifest that he is stronger iu Virginia than you are." It was useless to protest that there was no desire to im pair his strength—an issue with him was seemingly •pared to be forced upon me, knowing that be was o in incumbency, and that there could, perhaps, bo no issue joined except a personal one. When, therefore, my friends demanded of me to meet the defiance, I positively declined to do so unless Mr. Hunter should avow that he wns of this opposition and backed it, took its responsibility and tendered its issues against tho Administration and the Nation al Democracy. I had no issue with him unless he had an issue with them. If he had I was ready to cross swords with him, not otherwise. I was not willing to part from him and yield him up to tho extremists, who were endeavoring to claim his authority, and exclusively to appropriate his re-election to the Senate as a triumph to themsdees. Hu has come ont and his letters are open to tho fair interpretation of all. I think their meaning is: that he does not express any warm or strong confidence in tho administration ; that he does not wish to bo understood as being one of its especial friends or partisans, but, that bo does dis claim theopposilion to it, by saying that he “hopes and expects to he able to support the Administration iu the main." Now, “hope is made up of desire, affiance and expectation He desires, then, and doubly expects to bo able to support tbo Administration in the main. And this beiug so, be cannot, of coarse, desire or expect the opposition thereto to succeed. Saying that he knows of no practical tests at this time, whicli will bring him into collision with the Administration, ho distinctly disclaims, for aught ho can see at pres ent, both the intent or will and the spirit or purpose of the opposition. He, in a word, ignores responsibil ity for this opposition, which has risen, so suddenly and which is so sweeping in the South. With this declaration of his, to understood, I hare no issue', with Mr. Hunter. It is true that ho seems to be opposed to tho sub mission of tho Constitution of Kansas, by her Con vention, to the bonafide inhabitants and legal voters of that territory. Ho takes tho ground, that if the M e are silent, about the power of the Convention s respect; that if the Convention was not ex pressly restrained from proclaiming whatever form Jiey adopt as the Constitution of the State, then they havo the power so to prcclaim it, and to send it to Congress, without submiting it to the people. I know that there are precedents for this exercise of power by Conventions, but the precedents are in their inception exceptionable cases, and the doctrine which upholds them is, in my humble opinion, anti- Democratio. The true doctrino is, that the powers not delegated by the people are reserved to them.—They may grant snch a power to the Convention; but if not granted, it is reserved, that a Constitution, formed and proposed by a Convention, which is but a repre sentative body, shall be submitted to the people, who alone are sovereign or supreme.—The act of making a State is the highest act of sovereign power, and is tho act of humanity, next highest to that of Deity, in making a being ot amy sort. The act is no lest than to create a sovereignly itself. As a Demo cratic Republican, then, I would never delegate con ventional powers to any body of agents to create a State, without requiring them to submit the act to their principals. tLo people. In 1776. an unauthoriz ed body of patriots assembled at Williamsburg, con stituted themselves a Convention, and formed and proclaimed a Constitution for Virginia, without sub mitting it to the votes of the colonists. Bnt revolu- '' m began that way. There was no timo and no op- irtunity to poll votes, in a moment of rebellion, na iler the domination of British arms. Tho masses never did make a revolution, never in and never will. A devoted and self-sacrificing iv must ever take the initiative and lead tin-first cements of resistance. It required a Patrick Henry to seize the powder of the old magazine, ami the Convention of 1776 snatched liberty for tho peo ple, rather than a constitution from them. In such times inter arma silent leges. The talus populi was then the plea and the justification. But what does the talus populi call for in piping times of peace, when there are none to make us afraid at the p “ of a Repnblic ? Why a very different rule and der of proceeding, when there is timo and place and opportunity of consultingthe sovereign people tl selves, protected iu their assemblies ana votes ? cordingly. when Virginia formed a Constitution second time, in 1839- 30, and a third timo in 1850- '51, tho form adopted by tho Convention was, both instances submitted to the legal voters—ayi more, to the new voters created by the new form brfui itsdf was adopted. That tho people shall of right judge for themselves, at the polls, of their own or game law, unless thoy expressly authorize agents *- make and to adopt a Constitution for them, a principle for which, as a member of tho last Con vention of Virginia, I would havo contended ai strenuously as Idid for any othfr principle of popu lar sovereignty or of self-government. There was no such authority delegated by tho people to tho Convention of Kansas. Yet, if upon precedent, tho Convention of Kansas adopts a Republican form oi State Government, and reports it to Congress, with out submitting jr to the people, I agree with Mr. Hnntcr in accc|fling it ami voting to receive Kansas as a Stato—slave or free—into the Union. And why / Because, first, of precedent, and second! whether it be accepted or rejected, it has to be sui mitted or is subject at last, in either event, to tho popular will. If a majority do not approve of the Constitution, they may organize another Convention immediately, and adopt any republican form, after they are once a State, without submitting it at all to Congress. The question now is, then, not whether Congress sbonld adopt or reject the Constituriou of Kansas, submitted to the popular vote or not, but WHETHER IT OUGHT JOT TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE, PEOPLE, BEFORE IT IS SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS ?— Which is tho better policy for the pro-slavery par ty to pnrsue ? to submit the Constitution at once the people, and have an end of tbo agitation, or continue the shrieks for freedom a while longer ?■ If a majority of tho legal voters are opposed to tho plan of government proposed by tho Convention, their voices ought to prevail; a constitutional form ought not to be imposed upon them, and cannot be but for a day, and their sovereign power ought not to be snatched away from them even for a moment.— If Congress should aid and abet a Convention in- doing so, would not Congress be intervening against son-istervention ? And if a majority in favor of the form proposed, they will prevail, and the controversy will end. If strict impartiality, jus tice and fairness tro observed, tho peoplo will not be incensed; but if a minority shall abuso the adven titious advantage of an organized Convention to send their Constitution to Congress, without first submitting it to tho people, they will bo goaded by indignation to acts of violence, they will tear the Constitution into tatters and trample it into the dust, and upbraid the pro-slavery, party with a williug- if the Constitution be submitted to them first, it must bo submitted to Congress afterwards, to see that its provisions are republican, and it must pass in re view of the Representatives in Congress as well as in the territory. But, if not submitted to the peo pie in the first instance, and Congress accepts it, and then the people of Kansas change and adopt another, and, it may be, a worse Constitution, this latter will not have to be, and it will not be, submit ted to Congress at ali. Aiming, then, at tho same end, to protect the equal rights of slaveholders, and to end the excitement and strife soonest and safest, which is tho better policy, to appeal to the people at once, in a peaceful, fair and just mode, or tc be oblig ed at last to abide by their anger and resentment, after impairing our < wn moral attitude before the country ? _ Are we not in danger of having our atti tude impaired by another question which has arisen since Mr. Hunter's letters were written ? IfGov. Walker did not go behind tho returns which he proclaims were “fraudulent and simulated” on their face—and whether they were so or not, we have, as yet, no means of determining—which were no returns—in a word, if this be true, he did right, of course, in disregarding and setting them aside. Ho usurped no authority, if bis report bo true, and but did his duty in repudiating fraud urox the elec tive franchise, and in spurning the insult which demanded that ho should give it his official sanction and countenance. An executive has no judicial or legislative power, and must not dare to usurp either but it is something more than more ministerial au thority, and has the right of protecting itself from fraud and imposition. Tho ministerial officer even has that power. Forms were made to preserve the substance of justice and truth, not to aid fraud aud imposture, and falsehood and injustice. Slavehold ers and the peoplo of slaveholding States are too high in their moral tone, to consent to owe tho es tablishment ot slavery anywhere to means like these. And yet some of the sublime oppositionists who pro fess to despise treachery in Gov. Walker, in this age of lawlessness and violence, do not hesitato to array expediency against justice, and to arraign a Gover nor of a Territory because ho dared to refuse to bo particeps eriminis in what ho knew to bo a gross and patent fraud! Mr. Hunter, I am sure, wiil not endorse or countenance such immorality as this. And a dif ference on tho other points, where we do not agree, shall not divide mo from him. Ho is eminently right in one particular:—that Congress has no right to prescribe tbo elective franchise for tbo voters of Kansas on the adoption of their Constitution. Tho bonafide inhabitants, by their Legislature or Con vention, must prescribe that for themselves. By this I am far from reflecting upon the Rockingham reso lutions ; fer I understand them to mean aud to ex press the same thing. I know not by whom, or where they were written; beard not of the meeting before it was held, and the resolutions were published some days before 1 saw them or knew of them; butjudg ing from themselves alone, they seem tome to agree with Mr. Hunter in contravening the ideas which were at first started by his own friends, that only a particular class of voters, at first defined by act of Congress, wero to be allowed to decido upon tho adoption of the Constitution, if submitted to tho peo ple. Mr. Hunter takes ground with the “Enquirer” from tho start, on that point, though, I think, he had no occasion to take it in combatting the Rocking ham resolutions which don't controvert it at all. but, on the contrary, contend for the principle of the Kan sas bill itself—that tho people must be left to govern themselves, without tho intervention of Congress or any otherpower. When Governor Walker's nomination shall be made to the Senate of the Unted States, if made at all, it will go before Mr. Hunter as one of the Sena tors who are to try its fitness and propriety. And, ifnpon a full and fair examination of ins course and conduct in Kansas, lie finds that tho Governor has exceeded his authority, has violated his oath of office, or bis duty in office, or lias betrayed tho high and sacred trust reposed in him to see the laws, and es pecially tho Kansas Bill, faithfully executed, and to see that all the people from all sections were alike, equally and impartially protected—then Mr. Hunter will be reprehensible, indeed, if he does not vote to reject his nomination and to rebuke tho mal-admin- istration. If Governor Walker has really attempted to dictate to, and to threaten the Convention or the people of Kansas, in any form or to any extent, ho deserves the severest reprehension. But, before he is condemned he ought to bo beard by his judges, who nre to sit officially upon his acts. If I am not greatly mistaken in the ability and motives of tho man, he may be able to show that tho very words of his speech, quoted by Mr. Hunter, are capable of a far different meaning, and are anything but unfriend ly to the Bouth or to Slavery. Ho may have meant to throw upon Topeka partisans tho responsibility of not voting, so that it a pro-slavery Constitution should be sent to Congress, tho plea could not bo put l— “ ’ * ! —’— J * * ’ deci up that tho people were not implored to vote and I ide'th'e issue for themselves. And, instead of meaning to dictate or to threaten, his very words quoted may have meant simply to remind the Con vention that their work was to be submitted to a body— Congress—which had solemnly settled the principles, that the PEOPLE ofthe Territory were to adopt or reject their civil institutions for themselves, without interven tion from any quarter. This may have been, and seems to have been, an awkward way of conveying the meaning, os it is so easily misunderstood ; but if that turns out to be the true meaning. Mr. Hunter might find he had mistaken a friend for a foe. Bnt surety, it is not expected of Mr. Hunter or myself, at this distance, with total want of correct information, as to his motives or measures, to condemn the Gov ernor of Kyisas, with a purpose prepense to reflect on the Administration and to damn all who honestly doubt and defer judgment to a fair hearing. I know Mr. Walker very well, and have seen his nerve tried. I would prefer that he had acted in his office rather than havo made speeches ou tho stump, but he will, in doe time—I suppose, merely, for I am not informed of his intentious—make his defence, and then we shall know better how to find our verdicts. If ho be guilty, as charged, I shall join strongly in his condemnation. And if I find him void of offence, clear in his office, I will respond, “not guilty,” with out fear, favor or affection, so help me, when I ask for justice, in spite of all political clamor, though 1 shall stand alone on the panel. I have been too long tried in my truth to tho Bouth, and to slavery, to fear any false imputation upon my motives, though my judgment in the case may be erroneous when ren dered. It is not rendered yet. So, then, these points being, though material, open, some of them to a fair difference ot opinion, and oth ers to farther investigation and proof; and Mr. Huut- er disclaiming the spirit and purpose of opposition, by expressing the desire and expectation to bo able to support the Administration in the main, I make no issno with him; and with my understanding of his pledges, I cannot allow my name to distract and di vide the Virginia Democracy in opposition to his re-election. 1 can liave no personal issue with Mr. Hunter; our relation have ever been too friendly to admit of any other acts on my part than those of kinduess. He is an eminently able and long experi enced statesman, and cannot be well spared, by the Democracy of the State, as long as he desires and ex pects to support the party which it so triumphant! put into power against the foe of the South. Ani .the South needs, at this timo especially, to be united, and cannot afford a division on immaterial or person al issues. Whether there be a disposition to sacrifice me or not, I am ready to be made a victim, if it will unite the South, bind to our affection and confidence the true patriots of the North, defend the Constitu tion and State Rights, preserve the Union, and kee; the peace of the country in the bonds only of an equu and amicable confederacy. You say right, in saying that I am not responsible ror tho editorials of the Enquirer, nor is the Enqui- fer responsible for my opinions or course. No paper has been authorized to speak for me on the subject of this letter. I have organized no presses, and I have exacted or asked for no pledges of candidates for seats in tho Legislature. Much that I havo seen in yourpaper I do, and some things I donot approve. Some of your editorials havo rather too swecpingly denounced “secessionists” and “fire-eaters.” You have explained whom you meant, but I wish you had called other names than those with which your hum ble servant himself has ever been denounced. I am one of those who believe in the rightful remedy of a separation from the Confederacy, whenever the ex ercise of that State right is demanded by good and sufficient cause. And, if the exercise of tnat right is not peaceably permitted, it may bo enforced by the appeal to arms. The Farewell Address of Washing ton is the old, and the Virginia resolutions of ’98-’!>9 are the new testament of my political faith. I will maintain tho Union to tho last extremity, and tight for it to the last inch oi ground left to stand on; but when there is no other alternative but subjugation or dishonor, from either palpable infractions of tho Constitution, or from intolerable oppression under its forms, I care not which, I will, if I must, fight out of the Union if I can. “If that be treason, make the most of it.” Mr. Buchanan and his Administration have my most cordial confidence, and I shall support them so long as thoy do no morn wrong than they have as yet perpetrated. Bnt I will not pledge my support blindly and implicitly, without exception, and 1 re quire no such pledge from Mr. Hunter. In conclusion, let me aver that I do not desire a scat in the Senate of the United States, and if Idid.l would not desire it at Mr. Hunter’s expense. I trust that he and his lrienus do not desire his ro election at my expense, and that in future I may be relieved from the penalty of being deemed his rival for that place. Whether the Legislature will make the election this coming session, or postpone it to a time nearer the termination of the six years of the present term, it does not become mo to speak. Thoy will decide that question in their own way and time without my presuming to interfere. Having as fully responded ns my severe labors will allow just at this time, I hope to be allowed to work on, undisturbed in future by any controversy respecting a seat in the Senate of the'United States involving the name of Yours, truly, a HENRY A. WISE. Mrs. Partington Star Gazing. ‘A Comic in the consternation of Boots!” said Mrs. Partington, “I wonder where that is. I will go right up to the Cambridge omnibus and find out.” She put on the venerable black bonnet, the long saved testimonial for depart ed Paul that had as long outlived her grief as its form had outlived fashion, and went up to to the Cambridge horse railroad. Catching a large gentleman in a black coat by the but ton, she asked him if he could tell her where the consternation Boots was. “ I don’t know exactly,” said he, “ but I shouldn’t wonder if it was near here, as I see the signs of several shoe stores.” The fat man in the black coat chuckled aud got into the rail car. Mrs. Par- ton looked after him. “Yes,” said she, “I might have guessed I wouldn’t learn anything from Cambridge, as much as they pretend to know, for they couldn’t tell where the spiritu al knocking funonomy came from, and 1 sup pose I shall have to do as the people did then, find out for myself. I know Boots is round here somewheres because this used to be the old Boots estate, but what there should be comic in it I can't see, unless it is the money that has been made out of it.” She moved along attracting attention by her antiquated looks, venerable enough to win for her the suspicion of a professorship.

Lee, of New York, was collect ing subscriptions for the equestrian bronze statue of Washington, now standing a monu ment of patriotism and art at the corner of Union Park, he had occasion to visit an old curmudgeon in the neighborhood, and, pulling out his subscription paper, requested him to add his name to the list. But old Lucre de clined respectfully. “I do not see,” he said, “ what benefit this statue will be to me; and five hundred dollars is a great deal of money to pay for the grati fication of other people.” “Benefit to you 1" replied the Colonel; “why, sir, it will benefit you more than anybody else. The statue can be seen from every window of your house; it will be an ornament, and add dignity to the whole neighborhood, aud it will perpetually remind you of the Father of his Coun try—the immortal Washington 1” “ Ah ! Colonel," answered oldLucre, “I do not require a statue to remind me of him, I always carry Waseington here,,’ and he placed his hand up on his heart. “Then let me tell you,” replied Colonel Lee, “if that is so, all I have to say is, that you have got Washington in a very tight place!” A man had a sign up, “cheap ladies’ shoes for sale here.” He found that not a woman entered his shop.
