NY Dear Sir "A most amusing occurrence took
place at our Democratic Club room last evening.
about six clock A tall, slim entered there: hs
head or hair, think, little of the sandy order. II"
told US he was from Richmond, Va; sad he WAS the
editor of the American, Know Nothing Fillmore
paper suppose.
Before going any further, must explain to you how
this happened. He must have been directed there ahh
got into the wrong box for two doors below our
the Know Nothing Fillmore men have their ciup
room, on the same side OF the street as ours IT."
never discovered his mistake nor do suppose Ir
has yet, for he III hurry to be OF III the South
eru boat, which leaves at seven, II was then -,
o'clock. He commenced by telling US that the De
mocras had boastcd that they would carry NTghi"
by $4,000. He said that they would show us that III"
State would not give 30 majority; that Fillmore wnuit
carry the State; that Msy had arranged m m m.,,
IDdgfs To- wOyk Yu0Ay. One Of our men told hun,
they did not know how that old DeInocra;.c
State could be beat she hard old State, maxim.
him believe Fillmore men, glad TO hear hIrn
say what he did-good news, &c.
'Theu he commenced abusing the Democrats oi VIZ.
ginia telling how Wise and the Democrats manns q
to cory IN 1855. He said they hired spies 10 70 '"'
the.r iodgcs and bought up mcn. That was the way h'
said they carried Virginia. They never found II oHi
till after the election was over. Well we sad, il y"a
can carry Virginia for Fillmore it will be more thHn
We calculated upon. He said he'd been to Baltimore
TO the Wh9 Convention that he took sack iu oi
j. NJ Bolts speech; he took them to the CONVENTION
in Baltimore he hardly got inside the door beior" G"Y
were all grabbed from him like many hungry "oIV"
that he had come TO Washington to get large mum,
| Der of envelopes trgnked with member o! I"hErr-'
name on them that they wanted 10 send B0i1
.n..ch all over the State Of Virginia. IL would do
innruse good 10 help 10 carry the LnIon Tor I'll
mere. On. of our men said he thought BOtts speech
leaned a little towards Fremont He said "not 4 W.,
would read it carefully" We sat as If We were on
u.;tle. for fear he would discover his mistake but
h,. did not. We kept him walking about, and ~

promised TO write 10 him, &c. TO get him OIL hev"

besides mysef We came To the conclusion tia;
ouph, 10 communicate these facts to you. have no
doubt the opposition are working privately every.
where and il is best TO be the lookout. Eiernh.
vigilance is the price OF liberty and AZ you well s1i
in YOUR letter to me the other day. that YOU had h1'
ors in the South that would throw up their caps '"r
Fremont YOU might also aid that you had Torres 'f9
for ". have. Again this editor said the rea-oG to:
wanting envelopes ranked was, they could not an0fi
10 pay the postsge-the expense was too great 'ot
hem 10 bear so at that rate they must be short %
funds 10 carry out their plans.
