WILLIAM BALLARD PREsToN The
Richmond Republican thus alludes 10 the
appointment OF w illiam Ballard Preston
a. one of Gen. Taylors cabinet:
1.-The appointment Of this gentleman as
attorney general was one Of the most
agreeable surprises. we ever experienced.
In "A splendid speech ina lie by Mr.. Preston
at the last session Of Congress he sprang
at "a single bound to the front rank of the
great orators Of America. Another effort
OF this session has elected still warmer
and more general praise--an effort which
showed the statesman and :hc logcian,
and wl,ol, has only been cqualled in
point Of cIoquenoe by the great speech off
Mcdowell, another Of those remark able
orators whose veins are warmed by the
blood Of Patrick Henry.
MIR Preston is in the MERIDIAN Of life
and the full vigor Of his extraordinary
ability. OF high toned and chivalrou,
spirit, full of noble impulses. end imbued
with genuine american patriotism, we con.
hdcnty expect him To add Iu,tre TO the
new administration, and pour fresh
blaze of rcnown upon the illustrious name
Of Virginia.
