George Law's Last Words to Scroggs and Fillmore.-We have received another and probably a parting letter from George Law, purporting to be addressed to us, but in reality containing a reply to the famous General Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs—a title which is now generally supposed to be a mere nom de plume or nom de guerre adopted by Millard Fillmore, the candidate of the Know Nothings, at present reposing in Buffalo. Many doubt whether there exists such a person as General Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs. Many believe that no one could live and breathe under such a name. Were such an agglomeration of appellations to descend upon any unfortunate, it would have the effect of a coup de soleil, and extinguish him at once. It is highly probable, therefore, that General Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs is merely a myth, and that it really means Mr. Fillmore himself, who hails from Buffalo. Under this supposition we have no hesitation in presenting the letter in question to our readers, and directing their special attention to the heavy, workmanlike blows which Live Oak George deals in it, to the utter demolition of the last struggle, or last rag, of Know Nothingism in the North.

The Know Nothing or American party was a sudden emanation of the popular mind, and if its managers had possessed the slightest good sense or discretion, and nominated some new and original candidate at Philadelphia-some such man, for instance, as George Law-it might be at this moment the greatest, most powerful and most wonderful party that has ever risen to existence in this land. Unfortunately, however, for the success of the new party, all the old and venal Fillmore politicians who had fattened on corruption and plunder for the three years of his administration, jumped into the new movement, took the lead of its original founders and honest supporters, and in less than six months ran it high and dry by the nomination of a man who finished his historical career when he lost the nomination of the Whig Convention in 1852. To nominate Mr. Fillmore was merely to exhume a dead body, and those who perpetrated the act and who are parading the remains of Mr. Fillmore round the country, ought to be prosecuted as disturbers of the grave-as the violators of the buried remains of imbecility and corruption. In be meanwhile, we invite our readers to peruse the letter of George Law, and to consider it the funereal oration over Know Nothingism and its candidate. Its leading points will be engraved on their tomb in November.
