and got into the wrong box, for two
doors below our room the Know
Nothings have their room, on the same
side of the street Us ours. He never
discovered his mistake, nor do Esup-
pose he has yet, for he was ind hurry
to be off in the Southern boat, which
leaves at seven, it was then six o.
clock. He commenced by telling us
that the Democrats had boosted that
they would carry Virginia by 80, 900.
He said that he would show us that
the State would not I've so majority !;
that Fillmore would carry the State !;
that they had arranged In all their
lodges to acor quietly. One of our
men told hiwS they did not know
how that old Democratic State could
be beat; sbe was q hard old State !:
making him believe we were Fill
more p,sh, glad to hear him say what
he did4 good news, &c.
Then he commenced abusing the
Democrats Of Virginia, telling how
Hise and the Dsmocrats managed to
carry ii in 1855 He said they had
spies to go into their lodges and
bought up men. That was the way,
he said they carried Virginia. They
never found it out till after the cleo
ton was over. Well, we said, if you
can carry Virginia fol- Fillmore it
will be more than we calculated upon.
He said he'd been to Baltimore to the
Wing Convention; that he took a
sack full of John M. Bolts speech ;

Bolts speech all over the State OF
Virginia. It would do immense
good to help US carry the y MON for
Fillmore. One OF our men said he
thought Bolts speech leaned a little
towards Fremont. He said 'not If
we read it carefully" We sat as if
we were on nettles, for fear he would
discover his mistake; but he did not.
We kept him walking about, and at
last promised to get some envelopes.
One of our men promised to write to
him, &c. ,toget him of. have given
you the points and the conversation
as far as I,could recollect: There
were three others in the room besides
myself. We came to the conclusion
that l ought to communicate these
facts to You. l have no doubt the
opposition are working privately ev-
erywhere, and tits best to be on the
lookout. Eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty; and as You we'll
said in your letter to me on the other
day, that you had tra;tors in the
South who would throwup their caps
for Fremont, you might also add that
you have Tories too-for<we have
Again, this editor said the reason for
wanting envelopes ranked, was, they
could not afford to pay the postage
the expense was too great for them to
bear; so at that rate they mnst be
short of funds Ito carry out their
plans. A e+=E. %. I. Y:
