COMPLIMENTARY.

We took occasion two weeks since, to
state "why Purdy was nominated" giving
few plain and simple facts, as the ground
work of our opinion. Our neighbon not
being able to refute them, ventiates himself
in n half column of rant and bombast, and
winds up with some five or six notices from
so many neighboring Copperhead Journals
complimentary to himself. He is certainly
under great obligations to us for thus ena-
bling him to sound his own trumpet, but
his native modesty should not restrain him
from the publication of a still much higher
testimonial, which, as we learn from our
Aerial reporter" is in his possession and is
supposed to read as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
RICHMOND, Sept. -, 1868.
TRUMAN III. PURDY, ESQ Through the
intervention of one of our correspondents of
the "Knights of the Golden Circle" and the
northumberland County Democrat, which is
kept on file in this Department, l have
learned of your success in procuring nomi-
nation for the Legislature, over older resi-
dents and Democrats, of much longer stand
ing. This result is no less gratifying to
myself and friends, than to you, and was, no
doubt, owing to the peculiar and favorable
views manifested by you in regard to the
Confederacy, over which preside. | deem
the Northumberland County Democrat Il
valuable auxiliary to our cause, and quite
as effective, though not rs bold and open in
our support, as the SelinSgroCe Times, paper
controlled by our worthy friend --
whose fidelity to our cause has been fully
endorsed by j. B. late President of your
once United States. Your denunciation of
Butler and defence of my friend Floyd late
Secretary of War, under j. b. which brought
down upon YOU so much ohlOquy and con
tempt, satisfied me that you were with us
heart and SOUL and would, in quiet way,
give us all the laid and comfort" possible
under existing laws. | need not inform
YOU, that our only hope is in creating divi
sion in the North, and thus protract tho
war until we can elect Il President, who
will agree to n pcaceable separation. Had
General Lee succeeded in his invasion o
Pennsylvania, the game would have been il
our own hands, and our friends. who ART
stigmatsed as Copperheads, would have
come out in their true colors, and at once
assumed the offensive, but the battle %
Gettysburg destroyed that f0ndy cherished
hope, and we must "bide our time Til,
policy to elect us many of our friends to tht
Legislature rs possible, is wise one. Yol
will he enabled to accomplish much good il
! that body, in preparing the people for a sep
aration, and if that should prove abortive
! to give US. AT least, the benefit of "compro
mise" which would relieve us of at lcas
eight hundred millions of our Public debt
to be assumed by the North, as its proper
ton, in a fair compromise. Your farmer
and others, would, no doubt, make som
objections. but even these can be remove,
by proper use of the party reigns and pre-
mise Of patronage to the office hunters.
With thanks for your friendly offices AM
devotion to the Southern Confederacy.
l am, Respectfully Yours,
JEFF DAVIS.
