readily appreciate the we'll deserved and high
" COMPLIMENTARY notice Of his address in the
BULLETIN
Mu AylErr's SpEECM.--In compliance with
an invitation extended to him, Patrick Henry
,yletl. ESQ.,, of Richmond. delivered an ait
dress last Saturday night to the States Rights
Democracy of Petersburg Phoenix Hall, IN
which the meeting was held. WAS completely
filled, and for nearly three hours the audience
was agrceably entertained By IN address com
bining great force Of fact with exceeding eie'
sance OF expression.
Mr.. Avlett directed his attacks chiefly against
the Know. Nothing party. He demonstrated
in the clearest manner that as an otf.shoot
from. or rather as continuation of the old
Whig party, the Know, Nothngs were chiefly
instrumental in bringing about the present un-
happy state Of affairs.
Douglas also, came in very properly for hIs
share of denunciaton, though the speaker 5
shafts were hurled more against the principles
advocated by the Squatter Sovereign, than
against the Little Giant himself The odious
doctrine OF Squatter Sovereignty was exhibit
ed in all its delormity, and the indefensIbIe Po'
sition now occupied by Judge Douglas as con- a..
trastcd with bis former position on the tar,h
and other important questions, was thoroughly
exposed
We heard Mr. Aylett last Saturday nlght lor
the first time and we listened to him with
orc,t Measure. His speech was logical, arsu
mentative, profound evdencing intimate iamil-
or;tv with the political history Of the coun-
try and a mind polished by the highest de-
cree of culture We hope it may be our for
t. tune to hear him again before the canvas is
concluded.

force and power and influence of an honest
conviction" We arc the last to question the
honesty OF any mans convictions. We yield
to others all that we demand iUr ourselves. But
what of the Norfolk speech: We cannot be-
leye that any States Rights Democrat, such as
we have always understood and believed the
| editor Of the "Tindcator" to be, can entertain
an "honcst conviction of the constitutionality
Of the doctrines avowcl in the Norfolk speech.
We therefore, with no intention Of discourte-
sy, relterate the remark, that false pride alone
prevents the thorough and harmonious union
OF tile Democracy. Virginia Democrats
may agree to disagree among themselves
on questions Of squatter sovereignty; hut
upon the avowa Of Il determination to
advise and aid Lincoln to use the army
and navy, 10 use all the physical and neral pow
CT OF the Federal Government against the South,
ace cGnm"t dimgrtc and Fcn,nin State Rights De-
morrats. llercis a question Of the greatest mag
nitude and highest significance, unnecessarily,
mpudcntly anu detiaRtly thrust upon the peo.
pie Of Virginia; question: which, if facquiesced
in, subvcrtS the foundations Of the State Rights
Democracy. Every vote recorded for Mr.. Doug
las will be regarded in the North as an indivi
dual proclamation to Lincoln and his myrmidon
"Wide Awakcs' that they will find ai'lcrs and
abettors in the Commonwealth OF Virginia
Let there DC peace, let there be harmony, let
there be union in Virginia. and for the peace Of
the State, for the pcrpctuity of the Union for
the Sanctity Of the Constitution let no unccr-
tain sound 80 forth from the ballot box Of Eir-
ginia, encouraging orr COMMON enemies. dis
heartcning our only friends and prccipitating
upon us not only the evils Of Black Republican
rule, but all the horrors Of another John
Brown raid.
The Bell and Everett vote, without the ma
tcrial aid of Douglas detection, amounts to
nothing in Virginia and while the Democracy
can easily triumph over the united vote of
Douglas and Bell, yet 10 prevent the encour-
agcmcnt that Douglas vote in Virginia would
give to Black Republicansm, We hope to
see spirit Of justice prevail in the committee
which meets on the 9Th proxirno; re hope
they will Withdraw the Douglas ticket and
thus produce a thorough and cordial union of
the party; the past will then be forgotten in
the glorious triumph Of the future.
