with untiriug energy until she was borne alott TO the

occasion, but the ~lateuess of the hour prevented theiI
being delivered.

hear raising their voices in behalf Of the Constitution

america, partaking of the spirit of the times, raj
lied their forces and held an election as 10 which they
should erect, a Democratic or American pole and
flag. But old Buck, who is destined to distance
the field on the day OF election, was UNANIMOUSLY
chosen rs their chaH,plon. Whereupon, they ltht

names of Buchanan and Breckinridge inscribed there
on. Madison will do her part in the conflict in No
vemser next, and wave her unsullied banner in trl
umph over the glorious victory which awaits the De
mocracy of the Union. Virginia, always true to the
Democracy aud the Union aud TO her constitutions
State Rights, desires to increase, rather than diminish
the thirty. one stars which sparkle on our banner, en,

GOV. JOHN b. FLOYD IN GREENBRIER.

.Messrs. Editors: On Monday last, being court day,
Gov. Floyd addressed the citizens of this county, III
one of tho most logical, eloquent and argainentative
speeches | have ever heard. The
had for some time previous advertised that the mighty
Stuart uf Augusta, would. on that day, deInolish the
Democracy and their candidates; aud the Democracy
invited Gov. Floyd to be present, and say some tew
words in behalf OF the great constitutional party OF
this Republic. lie came, expecting TO lock horns
with this mighty Goliah Of the ozark LANTERN when,
10 and behold, Madison" Jr., was sick; and our
indomitable champion had the field 10 himself
While We regarded Gov. Floyd as talented aud a
thorough Democrat, we had no idea that he was as
powerful as he really is. For sound argument, vast
research, classical quotations, scrlptural illustrations,
beautiful metaphor, and genuine eloquence. he hard
ly has his superior. 1t was a glorious day TOR Buc'
lanan and breckenridge. The Democracy are gain.
ing ground in this cis-Alleghany section, aud we will
roll up a large majority for the Constitution and the
Union, as impersUnated i'll our noble standard bear
era. | cannot even give you an outline OF the Gov
ernor's speech. To appreciate him, you must hear
him. Suffice it to say, that he reviewed the prlncl-
pies Of our party, past and present, showing that the
Democracy of 10 was the Democracy Of 80; the
principles of .'Sam," ever shifting, ever changing, for
the sake of the spoils; sometimes pig and sometimes
puppy; all things to all men, and nothing long. He
fully discussed the issues in this election, aud when
done, all conceded that the work was from The hand
OF a master. Some gentleman III the vast crowd in.
,errupted him with q question in relation TO state
tarcs, which caused q DEPRESSION, i'll which the Gov
ernor took occasion to viIdicatc the Democratic
party, and paid especial attention TO that resolution
in the Staunton platform denouncing the Democratic
party for the high taxes, &c. His rindIcstiou here
was rs powerful as grateful 10 our people.
Let me assure you, Messrs. Editors, that there are
few, If any, ADLER men in this State tha.! John Is
Floyd; and We bid him God speed in bis glorious
mission. Yours, NC, D.
