Floydi—As this gentleman is believed to have been selected for a post in the new Cabinet, some facts in his persone] and political history will doubtless prove ot interest. He has been generally regarded as a State-rights man and strict constructionist Until the year 1840, he took no especial part in politics, having some years before that pe- riod removed to Arkansas and lost his health, which crippled him for several years, and in- duced him to return to Virginia. Soon after his retarn he met the Hon. Wm. ©. Rives in & political discussion, and he so acquitted him- self as tocause Mr Rives to declare that the speech of young Floyd was as able a one, in reply to him, as he bad heard in Western Vir- ginia. He warmly supported Polk and the annexation of Texas in 1844, and since then has always been the Democratic elector in his district, where the Demosratic majority has run up, im two or three campaigns, from some 1,800 to 5,000; and in each of the campaigns of 1848 and 1852 equalled, and in 1856 his dis- trict gave a larger Democratic majority than any other in the State—proving in the late election to be the banner district of the ban- ner State of the Union. Until the last cam- paign be has had too much to do at home to admit of his speaking out of the State. He, however, paid a visit to New York, in the late canvass, and by request addressed the people at the Merchants’ Exchange, in Wall street, in reply mainly to the speech of Mr. Speaker Banks, delivered a few days before at the same place. The andience assembled to hear him was immense, even for New York city. At the olose of his speech, in appealing to the Fillmore men to rally to the support of Mr. Buchanan, he declared that, if it should so turn out that he should be convinced that the only mode of defeating Fremont would be to vote for Fillmore, he would give the vote if the earth opened and swallowed him for it—a declaration which was caviled at somewhat at the time by persons who forgot that he was speaking by invitation to conservative mer. chants of both the Buchanan and Fillmore parties, and could not have addressed such an assembly in a mere partisan speech. | During the agitation of 1850, Governor Floyd was & warm opponent of the Compromise, although, being Governor at the time, he was not engaged personally in that exciting agita- tion. His father, the elder Governor Floyd, was one of the chief actors in the movement of 1817, which united all wings of the Democ- racy of the Union of that day in the support of General Andrew Jackson for the Presiden- cy, and which secured that renowned chief- tain’striumphantelection. In Viles’s Regis_ ter of 1827, vol. xxxii, pages 114 and 115, may be found some curious reminiscences on that Subject, which will show that the elder Floyd refused to be elected Governor of Virginia in that year, on the ground that his continuing in Congress at Washington was necessary to bring together a combination of the Crawford and all other wings of the Republican or Dem- ccratic party in a concentrated support of General Jackson. A year after he retired from Congress, alleging that he did so with the more pleasure as the Democratic party had succeeded in electing General Jackson— an object which had enlisted such strenuous exertions among leading members of the Dem- ocratic party, and engaged so much of his own efforts and solicitude. Yet, when in the tri- umph of General Jackson’s power a few years afterwards, when Floyd the elder had con sented to be elected Governor of Virginia, Gen. Jackron issued his proclamation against South Carolina, and ordered troops to be in readiness to march against that State, the same Governor Floyd threw himself into the imminent breach and declared that he would not permit 8 Federal soldier to march through Virginia—as if verifying the toast of the late and celebrated Governor Giles, in 1827, to wit : “John Floyd—A Republican, whom ‘not all the gold of Pyrrhus could seduce, nor all his elephants intimidate.’ ”’ Young John Floyd was one of the gallant sons of the Old Dominion who volunteered on the occasion to resist the threatened march of Federal troops, of whom the late Judge Bev- erly Tucker said in his epeech at the Nash- ville Convention in 1850, (who was very fond of the young Governor as he had been of the old one,) ‘‘ Sir, Virginia did not approve the the attitude assumed by South Carolina in 1833. Whatthen? Was she prepared to lift a hand against her? On the contrary, she remembers tow with pride that her Governor then declared that before one foot should cross the Potomac on a hostile errand against South Carolina, he would lay his bones on its shores. That was old John Floyd, sir; a man who never promised but he meant to pay; and, thank God, there stands now another Joba! oyit Court of the United States for the Dis. Floyd in his father’s place to repeat and make | trict geese ae penal of ate Law- ood his father’mwords.”” rence, of counsel for the de: ants in error, These things are mentioned as antecedents ord cause was docketed and dismissed, with of Governor Floyd, which are sure indications No. 100.

The following is an extract therefrom : “iE enjoyed — afternoon the high veitarnotia of hearing Ex-Governor Floyd of Virginia, make a noble, , conserva- tive and Union-lo speech from the steps of the Merchant’s Exchange in Wall street to the Democracy, the constitutional Democracy of New York, gathered in dense and inspiring throngs to hear words of “truth and sober- ness’ from a worthy son of the Old Dominion. Governor Floyd is a native of Virginia, but a graduate of South Carolina College of the 1829, and, I take it must be somewhere t 43 to 44 years of age He bears a consider- able resemblance to his father, who bore the same given name as his son, and gave him ancestral claims to the office of Governor of Virginia Gov. Floyd, the father, was not only of Indian descent, but exhibited strong! marked Indian features, and indicated “hiv aboriginal extraction by his hair also. I ree- ollect meeting him and@enry Clay at the Hot Springs of Virginia jo 1826, and stood by, one ny Chee the piazza of the hotel highly amused at hearing the gallant Kentuckian ran the Virginian on the subject of internal improve- mente, and also on the corduroy roads of the Qld Dominion, and advise him to let Uncle Sam build better highwaysforher This was, of course, before Virginia had constructed her now néble turnpikes, through valleys and over mountains, to her Hygeian fountains Gov. Floyd, the son, also bas traces of the Indian both in complexion and hair, but is, as is quite natural, much Jess Indian than his im- mediate progenitor Gov. Floyd, the elder, was a great favorite with our State; so much so, that in 1832 she gave him her electoral vote for the Presidency. Gov. Floyd, the younger, bas inherited his father’s popularity with us, and I trust we will not refuse to be guided by his wise and patriotic counsels. His speech was an admirable one; bold, fearless, even chivalrous, but wholly free from bombast or bluster. His clarion voice r: trath into the ear, and planted it in the mind, while his contagious patriotism and enthusi- asm took captive the heart it was a speech that will ¢e/¢ in the coming election. He firmly upheld the constitutional and sacred rights of the South, and the co-equal sov- ereignty of the several States of our confeder- ate republic and national Union, and ably and conclusively vindicated the constitationality, justice and righteousness of the Nebraska- Kansas act ’’ Supreme Court.—Friday, Hon.
