DEaocRAcY-'tBoSDs or txIoN.o- Governor
Floyd Of Va. made speech at the New York
Exchange the other day which has been al
luded to already in our columns. The Bueh-
aneers are delighted over it, and think il was

gina STAKEHOLDER for his fayorite iastitu-
tion,-for a policy which would raise the
price Of his slaves, and render his uccapa-
ton Of niger breeding more profitable than

Northern confeierates TO have their con-
sciences satisfied about the business concern
ing which some ''mock -philanthropists" are
little doubtful, and against which all Nor
thern men are, perhaps very foolishly, in
eiined to harbor little prejudice. But the

topics connected with the canvass, and, per
haps unwiitingiy, considering the city he
happened to be in,-considerng he was
talking, not among the mountains and dark
holes of Virginia, whore there was no dan
ger OF his words being reported, but where
ateegraph was near his lips, reporter was
by his side, million ears were open to hear
AMI a million eyes would scan his angua pc
the next morning from the printed page
