had they Tie power. MIR. h had no doubt from what
he had heard from others that Mr.. Floyd would make
excellent Judge. He had had the pleasure of prsc
tising in two counties OF Judge Lees district and he
regarded him as being canacltaed tor The discharge OF
the duties OF this office. We also had Judge Fry pre-
scented to There doubt that he was as well
qualified for this office any who had been could

with Mr.. Moncure, and he knew his value.
Mr. CARROLL alluded to Mr.. Moncure's course in

not get his man, he would vote for Mr. Mcncu,e with

for Mr.. Daniel ash only carrying the wishes
oihis constituents

aud great legal attanments.
