Oh laugh, but it is the forced laugh of conscious dishonesty &c.’ Emboldened by his triumph over a non-resistant, he was proceeding to traduce Mr. R. Douglass, when Mr. D. quietly arose and told ‘Purvis’ that he had called a man whom he knew to be a non-resistant, a liar, and had vilified absent men and dead men, but he could not throw an insult in his (Mr. D’s) teeth without meeting the consequences right on the spot. He might think of it as he chose but he could very easily tell whether he (Mr. D.) was in earnest or not. This effectually cured Purvis of personalities.
