Hr. Pryor and Judge Douglas.

Mr. Pryor is reading in all bis speeches to the people
Virginia from Judge Douglas speech at Chicago in 90
i, defence Of bis support Of the Fugitive Slave Law, to
bo that Mr. Douglas can not be trusted by the South
Long after 1850 even late 1855 and si'er the con-
test with Lincoln for the senatOrshP after the FreePort
speech and after the rejection by Congress OF the Le-
compton Constitution, Mr.. Pryor, in his own paper,
gave the following eleven reasons why Judge Douglas
was worthy Of the confidence and entitled to the support
Of the South in the event of his receiving the nomina
ion of the National Democratic Convention Tor the Fres
deney
1. Judge Douglas afrms the original and essential IN
ferority Of the negro.
n . He denies that the negro intended TO De EN-
braeed within the distractions of the Declaration OF lnde
n, and asserts that the right OF freedom and equal
ty was predcaed only Of the dominant race oil white
men. ,.
He denies the privilege of citizenship to negroes.
4. He afirms the compatibility Of eoniederacy oil
free and slave States and the possibility Of their hArmo
NOUS co-existence under a common Constitution.
s. He arns the absolute sovereignty Of the States in
respect to their domestic institutions and denies the au
tbortv Of the Federal Government 10 discriminate against
the interests Of slavery.
6 lie nculcates the policy Of non-ntervention as be-
tween the free and savehOding States, as well as be-
tseen the latter and the Federal Government
? He supports the decision OF the Supreme Court and
asserts for slavery the right Of colonization IN the Terri
lie upbolds the guarantees of the Federal Constitu
ton in respect TO the rights Of the South
9 He maintains the dignity and independence OF the
Senatorial function against the eneroachment oil hAeeu
tive usurpation. ,-,,,--,.-
10 he protests his opposition to Black RePubhcanism

II he pledges himself 70 fidelity the organization,

LETTER FROM FLOYD C0UNTY-IAPORTANT
CRIMINAL TRIAI.-A GLORIOUS DAY FOR THE
BELL AND EVERETT MEN.
FLOYD G. H., Sept y.

TO The Editor of the Wing:
On Monday last the Fall Of Floyd Circuit Court
commenced its session. Owing to the fact that Ambrose
Cox was to be tried for shooting his brothernaw Will
liam b. Moore in March last, unusually large crowd
WAS in attendance and continued in atendance through
out the Owing to the absence OF Witnesses the
trial did not commence until Tuesday 1t continued uu-
III Friday evening when the closing speech for the CON-
mouwea,h was concluded and the Jury retired and az
ter an absence Of hour returned into court with
verdict Of guilty Of voluntary mansaugher, and con-
6uement in Penitentary for five yeas. The Common
wealth was represented by Henry Lane Esq, Common
wealths Attorney for Floyd county, and Edmund Irvine,
ESQ. of Franklin and L. A. Buckingham, OF Carroll
MessrS Waller r. Staples, Benjamin +. Wysor, John j.
Wade Martin H. Holt and Jemes L. Tompkins appeared
for the defence.
As soon as it was ascerained that the trial Of Cox
would not commence until Tuesday, the Bell andEverett
men waited on our Eecor Waller r. Staples and insist
ed on speech from him the political issues OF the
dsy Mr. Staples consented, aud shortly after twelve
O'Clock took the stand in the Court House. and for near
" two hours addressed the large aud happy assembly
am firmly of opinion that Mr.. Staples delivered
more powerful or effective speech and that the speech
will not be surpassed if equaed by any during the
canvass am sorry that Mr.. Staples will be kept from
entering fully into the the Bell and Ever
EFT party DESIRE for several weeks yet by the Circuit
Courts in this section, but am sure that he viii make
| every effort in his power TO serve the good cause.
| On "Wednesday night, Mr.. VIM. H. Cook, Of Wythe
addressed the Breckenridge Democracy at the Court
/ House.
On Thursday night the Court House was densely
thronged it having been announced that there would be
political speaking and Thomas Page, Esq, Of Pulaski,
10y invitation delivered very fine speech Of an hour
and half duration in behalf of Bell and Everett. Mr..
Pageis very forcble speaker, is fully aroused, and
/ viii do good service in this canvass.
At conclusion of Mr. Pages Speech loud and repeat
ed calls brought to the stand Benjamin f. Wysor, Esq
of Pulaski, who endeavored TO excuse himself from
speaking but nothing would satisfy the Bell and Everett
meu but speech, and Mr.. Wysor pitched in with his
sledge hammer blows first upon wing Of the Democ-
rscy aud then upon the other. Mr.. Wysor spoke for
than hour amidst the widest enthusiasm and
excitement, and any amonnt of laughter and fun Mr..
Wysor known to possess abilities second to man in
Virginia but addicted to making political speeches
l hope the Bell and Everett men will force him out
wherever he is between this time and November, or

more complete and brilliant triumph over another than
johnson did over Extra" at Louisa Court House.
