New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1856-10-02

As MANY of our readers may be unable to attend
in Wall street to-day to listen to Governor Floyds
speech, We give them, what will perhaps answer as
well, speech delivered by this SAME Governor
Floyd on the 10th of last month while on biz way
to the North, al Lynchburg, Va. That speech,
indeed, was calculated for that meridian; but va
cannot suppose that Governor Floyd is so double;
toDgued a politician as to have one SET OF sentl
ments for the South and another for the North
What he said at Lynchburg, we presume, he will
BE- ready to repeat in New-fork.
This I.ynchburg speech, however, contains some
good things, which speaking in Wall street, the
Governor may see fit not to Introduce. Thus, he
tells number of stories intended TO be funny,
which, out of respect to the gravity of Wall street
he will probably omit, particularly one about ga
id sick monkey, not only lest it might re-
mind people of the present state of the Democratic
party, but also lea its proiane phraseoogy might
shock the pious ears of the Democratic Journal Of
Commerce, by which print we believe the meet
ing to-day has been mainly got up The Wall
street speech must also necessarily lack the
introduction III which Governor Floyd alluded, at
Lynchburg in such fatterng terms, to that emf
nent South Carolina ASSASSIN, Dir. keitt, by
whom, on that occasion, he was Immediately pre-
ceded, and of whom, in reference, we suppose, to
the Sumner affair, he spoke as one of the actors
in the strife" "of sectionalism, "an individual
who had been himself in the conflict" Per
haps, too, not to give oncnsc to his allies Of
The Commercial Adrtrtiser, the Governor may not
see fit to repeat in Wall street many of the good
things which he said at Lynchburg about the de-
iilnct Wing party, and Mr.. Fillmore as the cand-
date of the Knew NothiDgs.
We also spprehend that he will drop ont tho
paragraph-inadyertent introduced at Lynchburg
from some old Fourth of July oration-in which he
speaks of all the progress Of the country IA having
been occasioned by going for "equal rights-tor
THAT equality which is so dear to the heart OF
"evcry man." This may answer in Lynchburc,
where We suppose such phraseOlOsy has local
meaning which everybody understands, but here in
New-York il would sound very much like rank Abo-
ltionism The alluson which follows to the Dec
lara,ion of independence as containing the prnci-
pies of the Democratic party, is still more oblec-
tiODable: it even makes Governor Floyd lnconSlSt-
ent with himself He afcrward dwells with en-
phass on he Cincinnati Platform as containing the
sentiments of the democratic party, and certainly
it will never do TO crowd that platform aside to
make room for the obsolete and antiquated Decla-
ration Of independence.
We have a little curiosity TO see whether the
Governor will repeat what he said at L!nchburg,
that, "accOrding to the best judgment OF the
''wi>est meD it looks like all impOsslblllty TO avoid
"disunon:" or whether he will dare intimate TO a
Ncw-Iork audience that dsunion can only be
avoided by an absolute submission of tle North to
the South-upon the ground OF which absolute
submission he sets forth the Cincinnati Platform,
and Mr.. Buchanan us the embodiment OF that plat
form, rs worthy of Southern support. l. may also
be doubted whether he viii recommend buchanan
here al the North, not only total repudator oil
the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, bu; as having
been at all times and in every respect disciple oi
John {. Calhoun-so much that a single IN
stance cannot be shown in his Senatorial career IN
which their votes differed. We also hope that,
out OF delicacy 10 President Pierce h. will not
sllude TO that unhappy person q, the little brig
adler"
Seriously if Gov. Floyd intends to make 4
speech TO night which eau pass muster as an
answer TO Mr.. Banks even with such blind aud
rabid partisanS rs The Journal Of Commtrce and
The Commercial 4drerti>er he must coniriye to
muster matter for it OF far superior character to
that which he seems to have thought good enough
Tor a lynchburg audience. We must beg him to
recolcct that although III Virginia and the other
Southern States no orator is permitted 10 answer
and no newspaper TO cri,icise the advocates OF Mr..
Buchanan, except al the risk OF being lynched b.
a mob. here in New-lorh, in spite Of Mr.. Doug
lass threats. We are not yet sn5dued; tina; the
liberty of The Press sill survives N this city. and
