pers and communications, touching the action OF the
Electors OF Virginia expressing preference for Gov Foyd
Tor cabinet appointment Tuese were founded
on rumors aud We satisfied that some mistake
about the facts Of the has been committed IL seems
as We have asce'taned that paper expressing that Gov
Floyd would be acceptable to the sguers cabinet
lister, prepared and SUBSIDIZED by most OF the gentle
men OF the Electoral College This done without Gov
Floyds knoNledge and the matter intima-
ted 10 him, he REQUESTED that the paper should be with.
held and suppressed. He was opposed that mode OF
action by his friends, calculated embarrass the
President elect and mode not agreeable TO himself
The person who prepared the paper called iu it Is be-
eved to be in his possession and has never been
and never will be seut TO Mr.. Buchanan. AID as Gov.
Wses conduct, too has been impeached in this matter
We are authorized by him to say, that he wholly g.
norant Of such paper, was committed in respect
whatever 20 its expression Of preference and was not
cognzaht at all oil it, existence until it was suppressed
He had expressed preference him self for any one
cabinet minister the contrary he declined 70 DO So
approved Of Gov Foyds suppression OF the paper This
