The Opposition has accomplished all that it proposed to accomplish, and a great deal more than the Democracy expected they would or could accomplish. I am entirely satisfied & How arc voirplcased with the result in our district: E. I am not at all pkascd. It is no gratifies tion to me to see a peoplo stultify themselves, as tnuny did, by remaining at home on the day of election in careless indolence, when the interests of their country are lobe promoted by their votes and influence, ifundreds did not go near the polls.

Yes, a great many did stay at home, be cause they saw no cbaucefef electing Walkup. E. Chance ! There is no such thing ss chance. Had they gone to the polls had they exerted their influence to bring out their neighbors and friends had' they done what they knew to bo their duty the result would have proved to them that Walkup could have been, for he would have been, elected. AH that a man has to do is to perform his duty results are God's. S. Don't you kuow, sir, that it is a difficult thing for a man to act when he believes that his action will result in. defeat that all his efforts will be fruitless, and therefore thrown away ? E. How is a man to know that all his efforts in a good cause will be vain and fruitless ? I tell you, sir, that he has nothing to do with re sults they belong to God. It is just such faith lessness as this which has ruined many a good cause. It was this want of faith which pro tracted the struggle of the Revolution.

Tiik Wise Lettku. We invite attention to the following letter frdnTIIenry A. Wise, Gov ernor of Virgiuia. It appears that the letter was written to a confidential friend in New York. This friend, 'oh a recent visit to Albany, while in conversation with sonic members of the Re gency, finding that they were hostile to Wise on account of the influence which Fernando Wood was supposed to exercise over him, stated that such was not the fact that Wood had no influ ence over him, and in proof showed the letter. A copy was taken, from which other copies were made, and thus the game of the great would-be President exposed. It is rich. Bead it, and the kill," h painted out th coalition that 'existed be tween. W ise and Wood, and th game f th District system, in order to get a . few bogus delegate to Charleston from this Stat, who Vvold be admitted Wis relyiug upon th strength of hi frieada lo th Convention to reject th regular delegate and accept the " IM-Wood delegates. When I wrote thoso letter, I little dreamed that all I asserted weeks ago would soon be oonfirmed by th .hand-writIiig0LMrBlse,itt4 ucb, t th fact, Yesterday th Stat Central Committee wet at Albany for the purpo of laeulng a call for a lmoe ratio Stat Convention, and for th purpot of deciding bow th delegates to.Cbarletu(hould be appointed. Wood wa on hand to mak capital for hia district idea. All at once, it was whispered around that ther was a letter In Albany from Mr. Wise. Its content were eommuulcated front ae leader tu another. Wood heard nf it. He prononneed it a forgery. Alas he was soon to bang his head with sham. Th let ter wa genuine could not b dis noted. One mem bor of th Committee broke out in a rage "Well, thought w had oni precioua scoundrels among our Northern leaders, but thoy sre not fools aa well as po litical knave, and this letter of Wis take th shine off any cheating arrangements w hav ever concocted." Mr. Wood slunk away from Albany, and cam down in th night boat, hiding himself away in the clerk s state room. When that portion or Mr., wise i letter was read to him ( Wood) he swore like trooper called Vtise every sort or vile name, and added, "1 be d d if I do not publish all Wise'alettera to nir and expos his duuliuity." ' If be dots, and he is very likely to do it, the epistolary correspondence of Henry A. Wise will be a rich political volusae, If bis politi cal honesty ia on a par with that of th Inter to th A biny committee man. - There is on feeling of uni yersal scorn from all high-minded Democrats. 1 h venerabl Dickinson cried whu th letter of Mr, Wiso was exposed to him. He observed, "Sir, it is high time that w unite and send but one set of dele galea tu Charleston, when ao prominent a u W is dart aend such an infamous utter, propoenig to us a chart of deliberate political villainy, in order to secure hi nomination. I am arhanjd that a man calling himself a Southern Democrat, should exhibit such combination sf ignorance, egotism, rascality and self-conceit, and expect th New York Hard to co-operate with him. 1, for one, disown all further connexion with him. . fojr Wise had aot one friend iu Albany after that letter was read yesterday! Our Democratic leaders bar some remnants of po litical virtue left, and Douglas stock went np 60 par cent, yesterday. Such a bold, barcfaoed declaration from a rival candidate and samean, treacherous and dithonrtt, in reference to Mr Douglas, has made him inanv frien ls among the Hards and the softs. otwithtaniling Mr. Hood bold declaration tbat district delegate should go from New York to Char leston, it will not be so. That gameraonot t flayed now. Mr. Hisee letter has riiale the Wood move ment in the State contemptible, and any proceeding of tbat kind, would be abanrd and redieulous. I enclose an article from a Douglas paper in reference to ilr Wis. "Virginii will be a unit," says Mr. Wise. I will fix that. New York is unit, now, ao far as Mr. Wise is conccrnd, If sue was not before the committee received and exposed the pol.tical swindling propo sition of the honorable Virginian. 'Iseware of stationery, should be th motto of Mr. Wise for evermore. Writing paper has killed him as dead as old H unan Pompey. If the honest, truth-loving, chivalrous, high minded Democracy of Virginia, can be a "unit'' iu support or th writer or the cheating letter, alt i aave to say is iniSt uiub i am prt-uy comment me urn resuiunuu that if ill be offered at the Charleston Convention will be 'm follows: w "Urtolrttt, That the Deniociatic de'egatet from Vir ginia be expelled from this Convention, for having en dorsed a man, as a candidate for the Presidency, who has openly, and in advance, proposed a scheme of ras cality to rn-ure his own elevation, which merits the scorn of everv Democrat in the luited State. Vou may rest assured of cne thing, if Virginia be comes a "unit," and sen Is W ise delegates to Charles ton, alter his letter, ua honest Northern delegate will sit iu the same buildingwith them. Jims Mitchell Rei-i'iiutes Cash and Vindicates the Know Xothisus. John Mitchell, the Irish editor of a Democratic paper, the Southern Citizen recently published at Wash ington city, in his issue of the 23d ult , has an article froumliich we make the following extract : Ew'apku .raJBrTS-N.tvi'RALirr.n AnscosiiKns. It gives us no pleasure, Uo knows, to harp oa this matter of naturalization. It ia no great triumph for us, to be compelled to acknowledge that the Know Nothings were right Bli the time, and to retract what ever we may have hitherto said- against that phil- osnphcial body of men. . Our language in draling with the American party (that title can no longer be de nied them) has been sometimes harsh and bitter; we take it back: eat it up; though it goes against the stomach : and must disges,t it as best we may at leisar. Nothing ean be plainer than if a foreign immigrant, notwithstanding his "naturalization," continue to jict allegiauce, or miilitnry service, duty or obliga tion to any sovereign, he is not fit to be an American citizen, ought not to be entrusted with a vote; Still less with an office; and cannot become, even in four teen years, or twenty-one years, a full and true Amer ican. We-renueat the American, party then the only rational and consistent Americans we are aware 'of to accept our respectful apologies. We publish these paragraphs without com ment. We offer thetn to the consideration of those naturalized citizens who have heretofore been as abusive of the Know Nothings as John Mitchell himself. Let thclurcad it out carefully, and when they remember the duplicity, hypoc ricy a. ml treachery of the-Democratic party, who arc willing to use and not protect them, we feel Thb Result.

For whom? Douglas, I know, I confi dent; but you may rely on it that Mr. Buchanan is himself a candidate for re-nomination, and all his pat ronage aud power will be used to disappoint Douglas and all other aspirants. ' Our only course is to organ ize by di-tricts, and either whip the enemy or send two delegations. , - If that is' done or not done, we must still rely on a united Kouth. A uuitcil tjuih will depend on annited Virginia, and I plclge you that she at least shall be a unit. Virgiuia a unit, and persistent and firm on a sound platform of protection, to all persons, of pop ular tmtu aonatter sovereignty, she must rally to her support all the South. J The South cannot adopt .Mr. Douglas platform. It is a short cut to all the ends of lilack f.epublicanism. He then will kick up his heels. If. he does or don't he can't be nominated, and the main argument again-t his nomination is, that he can't be elected if nominated. If be runs an. inde pendent candidate, ami .Seward runs, and I am nomi. naled at Charleston, I can beat them both. Or, if squatter sovereignty is a plana or tlie platform at Charleston, and Douglas is nominnted, the South will ruo an independent candidate on protection princi ple, and run the election into the House. Where, tbeitc would Mr. Douglas ,lm.-Ilie lowest candidal, on the list. If I have the popular strength you sup pose, it will it-e!r fix the nomination. Get that aud I am confident of ucceP-s. Hon. V.
