VERBUM SAPIENTI.

Governor Wise, an American proslavery spouter, has been good enough to refer to a Cartoon which Mr. Punch issued during the Italian War, and in which two Eagles are pepresented as fighting, watched by the British Lion. The respected Governor, in a speech also containing much other ridiculous matter, declared that the Eagles meant the North and South in the Union,- the Free and the Slave states,- and that Britain was watching their Slavery quarrel in order to pounce on America. It is no news, either to Mr. Punch’s English or American friends, that Governor Wise is an Awful Ass; but he might have given Mr. Punch credit for more ornithological accuracy. Had that gentleman intended to typify the South and its foul means of subsistence, he would not have drawn an Eagle, but a Carrion-Crow. He respectfully hopes Governor Wise will accept this explanation.
