Puryear spoke first lie used all the eloquence
of which he is master to convince the people that
he was right in voting against the Nebraska bill
He said he did hope his friends would forgive him
if he had erred. He denounced President Pierce
denounced Douglas, and nearly every body else
He said he did not belong to the Know Nothmgs,
but did not see any thing very Objectionable in the
order. He then went on to advocate their doctrines
Mr.. Scales followed, and spoke with much e eio-

to Col Puryears positions, and drove home on the
dark lanterns in the most cutting and conclusive
style.
Sirs, the chances all in favor OF Mr.. Scales

NOBLE LETTER FROM SENATOR DoUGLAs.-The dis
trct committee of the Democratic party invited the
Hon. S. A. Douglas to be present the celebration
of the victory in the Old Dominion. His reply is
too good to remain unpublished:
CHICAGO June 7, 1856.
GENTLEMAN: | deeply regret that it will be inn
possible for to be present and participate with
you in celebrating the glorious victory recently
achieved by the Democracy of Virginia over the
most intolerant, proscrptive, nsidous and danger
political organization formed against the
constitution and liberties of free country. In all
the elections which have taken place in the Northern
States during the last twelve months Know Nothing
ism has not only been the firm ally of Abolitionisrn
hgher-lawism, and mob lawisnl, and all the other
banefu isms Of the day, but has been the COL troll
ling power which combined, directed, and led al
these allied factions in their savage and brutal
fare against Democratic party, is principles and
ganization.
Let us not be deceived by their repeated change
of name. 1t matters not whether they call them
selves " Know Nothings," or Know Something's"
the sons of the sires Of re" the ''order o.
the Star Spangled Banner or the " children of
Sam, or the of Johnathan" or by any other
name they may assume when they have disgraced
the previous one, their secret organization and clan
destne proceedings, their intoeIant and proscrip-
tive spirit, their unlawful and horrd oaths, their
unconstitutional and unholy purposes, remain I'M
changed--It is the duty, and. firmly believe the
of Divine Providence, to confound, overwhem, and
utterly annihiate this secret insdious and danger
GUS organization
To accomplish this great work it is only necessary
that we should be true to ourselves, to princ-
pies and our party, whose triumphs have ever been
identified with the interests, honor and glory of the
republc.-Let there be no concessions to the enemy
none to faction-none to the allied fanaticisms
of the day. under whatever name or form they NAV
appear. The Old Dominion has shown herseftrue
to her principles, her history, and her renown Her
Democracy have fought the battle faithfully, gallant
", gloriously. With you rejoice in her triumph
May Kentucky initiate the example and rival the
now fixed upon your noble State a similar
victory in old Kentucky would overwhem the enemy
with dsmay and despair, while it would carry joy,
hope, and confidence to the heart Of every friend of
religious freedom and constitutional right through
out the length and breadth of the land
Pardon the length of this letter, and accept for
yourselves and those you represent my grateful
acknowledgements for your kind invitation.
have the honor to be, very truly, your friend
and obedient servant,
