chanan Developed In Wall street.
There is treachery in the democratic camp. OF
all the Northern speeches of Southern nullifca-
ton emissaries in this campaign, the late Wall
street speech Of Gov. Floyd is the most remarka-
bic and the most astounding. IT deyelopes aplot
to defeat the will Of the people in this election
more startling than the conspiracy of Aaron Burr
to defeat the election of Jefferson. The terrible
excitement of that election, by the House of Re
presentatiyes, it viii be remembered, was follow
ed directly by an amendment Of the constitution
in reference to the election of President. As
amended, the constitution now provides that if
there be no election by the people, and none by
the House by the fourth Of March next, the Vice
President, elected by the people or by the Senate
shall become the President. This democratic
conspiracy as revealed in Wall street by Gov
Floyd, accordingly proposed, by a bargain and
sale with Fillmore, to cheat the people upon
Fremont to cheat and defeat Buchanan before the
people and in the House. SO that Breckenridge may
become the Amounted successor of Mr.. Pierce.
What says Gov. Floyd? We quote from his
carefully digested Wall street speech. He says:
=" There are bonds af union between the
democracy and the American party" Then,
after few extra flourishes and fireworks,
this is what he says, in Wall street. after having
exhausted his lungs in Virginia in his abuse of
Fillmore. Hear him.
But cay this TO sou nowsueh Is the change in the
aspect of political affairs that ha, fastened Itself my

say.
That's enough. We want nothing more to
prove the terrible fright and the shameless
treachery Of the democratic leaders in this con
test These are no hap-hazard declarations Mr..
Floyd had been for q week in this city, pre-
pairing this speech in reply to the mastery effort
OF Mr.. Banks. Mr.. Floyd spoke by authority.
He had doubtless consulted freely with Mr.. Sir
dell and Mr.. Hunter in the interim, and other
leaders Of the democracy ia this city, as we'll as
with the Wall street Buchanan and Fillmore
fnanciers; and, as Q Virginia democratic elector
and missionary in New York, Governor Floyd
spoke by the card. lie speaks Of bargain and
sale; not all that be knows, butqute enough for
our purpose
Mr.. buchanan is to be sold out, aud Nc. Fill
more Is TO be used as decoy duck FOR Mr.
Dreckinridge. In Virginia the Fillmore party are
denounced as traitors unworthy 10 associate with
honorable men, and Fillmore himselfis denoanc
cd a. hypocrite and go-between, running upon
false pretences. But in New York. Gov. Floyd
discovers that there are bonds Of union between
the American and democratic parties, and he
pledges us that If il be necessary to defeat Ere
mont, the democratic electoral vote Of Virginia
viii be given Tor Fillmore. Now, a. the Vir
giuia electoral vote. whether given for Fillmore
or Buchanan, win make not the slightest DIFF
ference in the vote for Fremont, this promise Of
Governor Floyd can only involve The loss Of Vir-
ginia TO Buchanan II is the promise Of the vote
the viii of the Virginia people, and for the pur-
pose Of carrying the election up to Washington.
SO that Mr.. Breckinridge may, by default, ~
trcachery, by bargain and corruption, become
President Of the United States
The democratic cry Of secession, diunion and
civil war has failed u lis olject-signally failed

public Tidcule, deIison and disgust. Gut having
failed to brighten the people we have now this
con piracy Of plotting poilsmen 10 cheat the pco
pie. We arc to have blending Of that fierce
and savage democratic terrorism which i striving
to establish slavery II Kansas by fire aud sword
and that equally barherous Know Nothingism
which would ostracise Oh Catholics ard all
foreign born citizens from every Office Of honor
or profit in the United States, and reduce all
aliens to a twcnty-one years probation for the
tights Of citizenship. Thcsc are the bonds Of the
conspiracy for tie Junction Of General Atcbison,
Willard Fillmore and Archbishop Hughes.
The defeat Of Mr.. buchanan siares orr demo
cratic demagogucs aud plotting spoilsmen in the
