Gov. FLoyD IN WALL Sz1sEf.-1hs seos-
NOUS crowd and u1bosndsd enthusiasm call-
cd forth BY the spsssA Of Mr. Baaks in Wall
street - startled oid-fogy nanagers il New
York hat they set about arranging nsst-
ing for Mr.. Buchanan, and procured Gov.
Floyd Of VI to make an address. That Re-
publicanisn should have seriously invaded
Wall street, and from the very steps Of the
Exchange, at the almost unanimous consent
Of the Directors of that institution, right
there in the hear, Of Cottondom, have elici
ted plaudits, it should have stayed the
tide Of mighty traffic till the Frecman's mes
sage was delivered, this, indeed, wAs sig
ni6cant thing, and might well evoke the tnoAt
active energies of that stolid conservatism
which in the present crisis is tAs principal
prop of the Pro-Slavery cause. And so,
great preparations were made for monster
meeting, money was spent without stint, and
all the machinery was employed which Buch-
aneer politicians in Gotham know 80 well
how to use to produce the GREATEST stage
effect. And yet, twas 6zzle! The New
York Herald says that not over half as ma
ny were present As there were to hear Mr..
Banks, and the comparatively small number,
listening to the reading Of long, prosy ad-
drsss, contrasted strongly with the mighty
mass hearkening to the living sentiments
that flowed out from the heart and fell from
the tongue Of Freedoms champion, striking
responsive cords and waking the glow of
spontaneous enthusiasm.
We see with pleasure that Mr.. Banks has
been solicited BY the merchants Of Philadel-
phia to deliver public address in that city
also, and that be has signifed his Willingness
to do 30. The meeting 10 to BIO held in In
dependence Square, and will be great
event.
BORIS AND VISA Rich SrKEcH.--A few
days after Wise denounced Bolts, at Rich
mond, as guilty. Of treason, and all that, Bosts
called out the people and addressed them in
reply, pitching into his cxcellency without
mercy. In the midst Of his speech, while
dwelling upon the topic Of forcible resistance
in case Mr.. Fremont was elected, he called
upon all persons present who we're in favor
Of such resistance to signify it BY rising,
when not single man evinced himself in
favor Of such course, and on Mr.. Bolts
thanking God that there was not . single
traitor present, he was tumultuously ap-
plauded. How small and mean, and unsafe
as criteirons of public sentiment at the
South, do the vaporing threats Of Buchaneer
politicians in. that quarter and the lachrymose
appeals OF the same class at the North ap-
pear beside such expressions as that From
the body OF the speech We take tho two fol-
lowing spirited paragraphs

it is precisely what said Of Wise himself

recent occasion; but His Excellency, ] am
told, went far Their, and charged me with
treason. Well, may safely defy any NOR
tai man to point to an instance in which
have ever proved traitor to my party or my
country. lpresume there are none in this
audience who have forgotten the time when
his exccllency and myself were both subject
to temptation. John Tyler shook the s'thirt,

lnPoRrANcE or SrArI ELEcTloSs.--Th

says that il is conceded By the Buchaneers I
the National capital that the state election
Of Pennsylvania and Indiana will substar

Buchanan himself 30 regards it, and in a la'
letter, dwelling upon the probability Z
Pennsylvania supporting his cause, he say
"my chances in Pennsylvania are very slim.
But every possible effort will be made to -,
