It has been conceded by Fome of the oldest members of that body that so intelli- gent a body never before assembled in the capitol of Vir- ginia. They were ali, with few exseptions, men of un- doubted business capacity, and far above those who com- pored former Legislatures in intelligence and ability. As much business was transacted during the late session as in almost any two former sessions, This is the more commendable, in view of the occasional distractions caused by the ierpective friends of the various leading aspirants for the Pcesidency to get up a ttle excitement in order to advance the interests of his favorite, To such an extent did this spiztt of rivalry prevail, that tne cemosatic perty in boim houses were a mnst utterly powerlet, a6 & consequence of the divisions which grew out of this petty squabbling. Bucoanan, Wise aud Hunter hed eaca their ds in the Legisia- ture, all Cperating, in some instances, in direct o)posi- tton to exch other, If any indirect effort was vo poate the cbancee of soy one of the aspiranta, or win im popularity, counter efforts were at once made to deteat the scheme. And so was it with regard to the others. By this mesns the was rendered utterly powerless, #0 mucu 6), that men having important moa- sures to be carried throvgo—I mean loobyers—-were lratke to commit them to any kuowa partisen of any ¢f the leac: aspirants. If it were "2 that the paseage of any bill introduced by » known acherent of any Precicential aspirant, which was calculated to give increased popularity to his favorite, tne others were down upon it like a ‘thousand of brick,” cr if the bili was of » strictly party cbaracter, they would be absent unintentionally Bo doubt, or sick.

Under any circums'i have stood ro chance egainst ex Gcvernor Floyd, for pro- davly no living mac bas 60 m i¢u growa in public favor within a period of tweive mouths ashe has during the last sowion of the cuce. Tue general opiaion is, that be has proved hiweelf to be @ statesman worthy of the highest pace in tne Union. Tre Presidency is the ali abvorbing question here. It ia pow universally concesei toat Bachanan’s chances are fer better than any whose name has yet been mentioned in connection with this high office. A‘ between Hunier snd Wise, the latier is positively vege tavorite, Iaceed, if toe sentiments of members ot the Ler eoling og eswemed ok eet ord my this regard, Hunter enjoys but oompacectvety ‘small share of public favor. Hii action with reference to tac Senate priating, while it muy bo aid to be unavoldatle, bas certaimy cai him in popularity here by vote im the Senate sgainat Beverly Tacker in this affair. [tis true, he cast nis wete in caucus in his favcr, ond thathe had but followed am ola rule of the party in vo for the caucus nominee; yot in view of the krown chment of the Tucker party to him, at ell times past, be is heia inexsuraple. This will operate weil for Bucasnen, for if there shall be avy diversion from that souree it ili be in favor ot d Buck. No friend of Huater’s wi!l go for Wise, you way rest aisured, tor they are jealous of the position which be now occupies, and they censure theuselves for having aided in piacing him there.

He comes from that region of the commonwealth where the whole strengti of democracy is concentrated.
