WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 1856.
Nv Dear Sir:-A most amusing occur
renee took place ttour Democratic Club room
last evening, about six.o'eloek. "A tail, slim
man entered there: his head er halr, think
little of the sandy order. He told Us he
was from Richmond, Va. said he was the
editor of the American, a Know Nothing
Fillmore paper | suppose.
| Before going any further, must explain
to you how this happened. he must have
been directed there, and got mo the wrong
box; for two doors below our room the Know
Nothing Fillmore men have their club room,
on the asiae site Of the street as, ours. He
never discovered lis mistake, nor do I sup
pose he has yet, for he was in hurry to be

that Fillmore would carry the State; that
they had t',~onged IN all their tolges to eorh
quietly. Ore of our men told him, they did
not know how that old Democratic State
could be beat she was a hard cd State,
making him believe we were Fillmore men,
glad to hear him say what he did-good
news, &C.
Then he commenced abusing the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia, telling how WISE and the
Democrats managed to carry it in 1855. lie
said they hired spies to go into their toc7gcs
aad bought up men. This was the way he
said they carried Virginia. They never
found it out till after the election was over.
We'll, We said if you can carry Virginia for
Fillmore it will be more than we calculated
upon He said he'd been to Baltimore to
the Wing Convention; that he took sack
full of j NJ. Bolts speech; lie .eek them
