Forney on tbe llucliunau Adminis
tration.
Wo cut the following latter from Col. For- '
ny, the editor of the Press, from that journal
of Saturday Est. It it certainly most graphic
in its terms, sud endorses fuily ail that we have
ever said against the propriety of electing Mr.
Buchanan to the Presidency. It is gratifying
to know that Co!. F. is rapidly neariug to the
track in polities, and we huv no doubt, but he
keenly regrets the part taken by himself to in
flict upon tbe country so great an evil as has
Veen already pioducd by placing Mr. Buchsu
vn in the Presidential Chair :
WASHINGTON, March 12, 1858.
1 left Philadelphia on Wednesday on a hur
ried visit to some friends here, aud will return,
God willing, by this evening's train, carrying
with me this hurried letter, which must taku
the place of my usu.il word in tne Press of to
morrow. \V hat a difference beiweeu March
1857 uud March 1858! I dweii upon it vriih
surpiisu and grief. One year ago the country
was full of conteut, and at peace with itself. —
The hearts of all our people beat tesponeiveiy
to a noble inaugural, and the bands of men of
all p. rties were uplifted to auppoit and to
strengthen our venerable President. The Dem
ocrats were united aud joyous, and gazed hope
fully into a tranquil and viotoiious future.—
Tbe republicans were dismayed, and new polit
ical combinations were abandoned before the
prospect of a wise uud patriotic policy. Mr.
Reward, in the Senate} Mr. Stautou, in tho
House; Mr. Greciy, in tbe Tribune, instead of
preparing new weapons of attack upon the Ad
ministration; were turning their thoughts to
tho6e substantial questions upon which ail men
ugree in this happy country. Even the Ames
icans, few in Dumber, coutd see uo profit in fac
tion, aud were quietly reconsidering their plans.
The extreme South, so apt to chafe iuto a pas
sion, was as calm as a Summer's morning. Con
servatism, in its very best seuse, had taken pos
session of the Government. An experienced
President, u sure and sagacious Cabinet, a ready
Senate iu sesaiuD,aud a still mote willirg House
preparing tor its new term —theso constituted
the sterling superstructure of an enduring ecn
dition of national prosperity.
Ana what a change ha* cue year produced !
I cau hardly believe my senses that lam wti
ling from the cupital ot my country, and that
my old iriend—he, to whom I have Lorue ai-
IHOM filial relations from my boyhood —lit io j
whom 1 have confided my few hopes and lears |
be lor whom I dared ibe frown* of 100.-, and j
for whom during four long year? in lie lower j
Louse of Congress the patronage in my gift was
(em lossly bestowed, and he knows how gladly
and how spontaneously, too; I can hardly believe
my senses, that this is the city ot Washington,
and that James Buchanan is President.
What is the aspect now? One wide Reign ot
Terror. A test is erected here, like some horrid
instrument of torture, upon which Democrat* I
are tried aud executed tor their opiuions. The 1
woik of decapitation has ceased against liic-i
time foes, and is now waged upon old aud cher
ished Irieuds. Men are removed and calumui- J
uted not for bening opposed to Democratic prin
ciples,but for being too much in favor of them. ;
'1 he humblest Clerti, with his Utile family, wno !
snuggles along on his thousand dollars a year,
must hide his sentiments or leave his place.—
For the bold and upright Democrat who dares
to thitnk aloud, there is short shrift. If he has
an office he must he ready for the ominous car- ;
tel ot dismissal on the instant. If he is an in
dependent citizen, he is excluded from the De
partments and from the White House like a
common leper. An amy ot spies are on the
alert, hunting for victims. W r o to the unguar
ded gentleman who, in ibe presence of one ot
these eager eaves-droppers, may let fail a tree
opinion! it is at oucc caught up aud carried ;
-with no lack of exaggeration, to the ear of pow
er. If there is on this rouud globe a race mors
despised iD civilized society thuu any other, it
u> the race of informers. The noblest invec
tive of the oddest of Irish orators has made
them immortally infamous. These mercenaries
now hold high service m Washington. I cculd
name several of them from our own State, hut
1 forbear for the iioßor of Pennsylvania. They
glory in their shameless trade. Broken in for
tune, reckless of their own fame, laughing at
conscience in others and rejecting it for them
selves, they swarm here anxious to earn their
guilty" wages. The most of these creatures,
happily, are the men who have pursued and
persecuted the President with the same venom
which they now display towards those who dif
fer from his Kansas policy.
It is their vocation to make public opinion
here against the intrepid sentiment of the peo
ple; lo bully in the hotels, to infest tbe rooms
of members, to "pump" the new arrivals, to
coax the doubtful, to lutimidate the weak, to
supply false motives for honest differences, to
fill the town with rumors of defection among
the friends of the Right, to flatter power, and
to applaud to the echo everything that fails
from the lips of greatness. "Sir," said a good
man to me on one oceusion, several years ago,
"fAe President rarely hears the truth. He is
surrounded with sycopbauts, who say only what
pleaees him." llow often this profound truth
is lilusiraied' ll is said that Frederick tbe
Great— 1 think Lord Brougham's short sketch
of him contain* *he statement—would some
times demand of his ministers to talk to him
boldly; and when they did he would lose bis
temper, and beat them for their candor. There
are many good, brave men iu Washington to
day, who woaid give their worst of' thoughts
the worst of words, if they had tbe chance.—
But the eye of greatness has no welcome—tbe
ear of greatness no heariog—for such uieu. If
they attempt to speok out, they are turned
away or left standing "alone in their glory."
L*t me give you the last instance of the way
things are done here. One of the best men
ever seDt from Western Pennsylvania to our
Stale Legislature was Maxwell M'Oaslin.—
His very name is a household word iu Wash
ington, Fayette, and Greene. Everybody li
ked him during bis long residence in the latter
county, ilonest, faithful, intelligent, and
brave, he was a fine specimen of that Scotch-
Irish element which has infused so many ster
ling traits into oar Pennsylvania character
Well Maxwell is cot over-rich, and so, afier
having served bis constituents with honor, for
many years, be asked for and obtained an In
dian Agency in Kansas about two years ago
from Presiuent Pierce. He had been a Bu
chanan standard bearer iu Greene county for,
I think, some flfteen years, fighting our excel
lent friend John L. Dawson in many a hard
ecotest, when tbe latter led the uDti-Bucbap-
on column in the West. I: was natural that
such a man should feel free to speak the truth
without fear, especially to save his old chief,
>lr. Buchanan, from harm. Maxwell M"Cs
liu saw the wicked and merciless tyranny in
Kansas. Ilia honest nature revolted at it.—
Ha saw the man he hatl labored for about to be
damaged by the autliars of this bold villainy.
What did he do? Did he wait to think of him
self? No! Like a man who sees his brother in
peril—for Maxwell M'Caslic is about Mr. Bu
chanan's age—he rushed in to save him. He
wrote imploring letters from the Territory, tel
ling the powers here that they were deceived.
He begged them to halt in their career. He
told them that tho people of Kansas never
would submit to Lecomptou, and that it was
cruelty to ask thcin to submit to it. Ho ap
pealed to the friends of tho President to drive
off the vermin from that Territory, who were
here besieging power, and deluding and de
ceiving the Executive. These letters, written
in all the ardor of old friendship, aud in the
credulous belief that no one would question
their sincerity alas! vain lmpe--cost him his
head. One of them got into The Press through
Mr. Kiccaid, of Greene, now a member of onr
Legislature. It doomed the writer. On Tues
day last, be was removed from his little place,
and his successor appointed. 1 can realize
how this act of grace will bo received in Greene
county, and all along that rebellious frontier.
My regret is deep that, by any act of mine—by
the publication of that unfortunate letter—l
should have been the iunoccnt cause of his re
moval. iiow he did write, let the following
extract from one of his last letters, (which can
not injure biie now,) speak to the reader: "If
the Lecoinpton ConstiMitioa is adopted, and
the election of the Ith of January is given to
the lire-eaters under Calhoun, it will not only
make a dark day in Kansas, but alt over the
Uuion." "If the President had stood his
ground with Gov. \Vaiker,*a7?ji</rf the millions
of conservative men who would hive rallied
around him, both jYurth and South, all would
have been well, THE GItEAT AND GLORI
OUS DEMOCRACY WOULD HAVE
MAINTAINED IPS CONSISTENCY, AND
STOOD UPON THE PILLARS OF ETER
NAL TRUTH AND J UrfTICK." This fatal
letter is dated on the lOdi of February,and as
John Campbell, toy It ish neighbor across the
way, is not ou'.y a 'irst-rate bookseller, (as well
as book-reader,) but is also fond of autographs,
1 will give this letter to him if he will come
and get it. "No muck for Buckingham.'"
You will see that I am committing a • great
imprudence by writing so plainly. I certaiuly
do so with no personal purpose. My frank
ness may disturb some scusibiiiiie—and may
give some greedy aud aspiring gentlemen a
good chance to help themselves by abuse of
me; and if so, i sha.l tot be sorry. Bat
ciuiin the right to speak out on this grave sub- j
ject. Ido it more iu sorrow than in anger.—
1 tecl that we are on the verge of a frighitul j
abyss, and in my vocation as an independent j
journalist, and as one who would to-morrow i
serve James Buchanan if I felt he was right, I
with all the atdor of tbe olden time, sileDCc ■
would be a crime.
But there is a cheerful side to the picture. j
Yesterday was a bright day for the people.—
There was a gorgeous sunshine in the sky and ;
ou tbe earth; aud spring seemed to be break- ;
log from the clouds of winter. Thete was a i
glorious gleam of hope iu the House. Tie j
great principle of the will of the majority as- ,
serted its majesty, and seemed to be strong j
eoough to wrestle with the gigantic influences j
that have fettered it so long. These who diff-
E' from Mr. BUCHANAN SO regretfully on this
issue, and who have been traduced by his flat- |
terersfor this difference, felt measurably com- |
peusuted by this uew victory. I heard one •f '
the most gifted of these gallant fellows say last ;
nighc: "Would it not be a proud satisfaction if
'we few, we happy few, we bind of brothers,'
coold save Mr. Buchanan and the party from !
this great calamity !"
But 1 uiust stop, or y< u will never get this :
in to-iuorrow. J. W. P.
Burying the bones of Treasonable
Democrat*.
We copy an article from the Washington
: Union , bitterly denunciatory of Douglas and
| Wise, whom, without naming, it characterizes,
| the one as "a bold adventurous legislator and
partizan giant," the other as "an orator of
dashing, slashing, headlong eloquence," and
both of whom it consigns to the "catacombs"
where rest the remains of "d parted politi
cians."
In its war upon these distinguished Deino
! eratiu leaders the Administration now affects
!no disguise of doubtful words. They, and
those who act with thrra, arc denounced and
| excommunicated. But the issue of the conflict
' is not-yet certain to be favorable to tbe Presi
dent. Neither the "Giant" nor the "Orator"
is likely to take witheut giving biows. Per
haps there arc no two men in the Democratic
party less fitted by nature for meek submission
than Senator Douglas and Governor Wise. If
the Administration expects to bury them qui
etly, wc predict it will find it*elf mistaken.—
; Their funeral will be largely attended by
friends more in anger than sorrow, aud their
speedy resurrectiou may be confidently expeo-ji
j ted. The Democratic party is not strong'
J enough to kill off such men for such a cause.
Their "bones" will be found exceedingly troub
lesome to the official grave-digger.
From the Washington Union.
TREASON TO DEMOCRACT CONFIRMS ITS
POWER.—That vaulting ambition which "o'er
loapa itself and falls on 'lotber side*' has never
yet in so short a space of time worked such
havoc with hopes, prospects and pretensions of
Presidential aspirants as it his since the last
autumnal frosts have stripped the leaves from
the forest. Tfit gi ave-digrer is abroad in tht
land. The rirah for the stakes of IM6O, who
have, rider and steed, came down with a crash
in headlong ecreerotcr the Kansas imbroglio,
foruj a platoon of dend men who, after life's
fitful fever, seem to sleep well.
The march of tho great Democratic Party
from the begiuning of the century to the pres
ent crisis, is strewn at every step with the bones
oj inpatient spirits, who have sought prema
ture fume and undue promotion, by short cuts
and selfish ends. Kut iu spite of the many
conspicuous and melancholy examples of the
ruin that attends on vanity, ambition and
RBBFORB m
tteachery, every season produces its new quota
of victims, until, if the tones of all were gath
ered together, un Egyptian pyramid would
scarcely stiffire for their intcruietit.
The poliiieal catacombs are filled with curi- j
oi:s specimens of departed politicians, whose
impatient ambition iiasconsigned them to prem
ature oblivion— here a bold, adventurous legis
lator and partisan giant; there an orator of
dashing, slashing, headlong eloquence, who sow
no difficulties, obstacle, or dangers in the steep
ascent to promotion, and was dashed himself
to pieces in the fool-hardy adventure.
Giiddon and NoU could have added to their
cherrfol array of specimen skulls and mum
mies from the prolific Golgotha of prematurely
defunct politicians the unchanging and unva
rying types which mark the species through
continuously succeeding examples in a long
line marching down from the earliest political
eras.
Qjf*Ex>President Cotuunibrt, who has arri
ved at New Orleans is -said to be the son of au
Englishman, who was a cotton manufacturer at
Puebla, and who married a Spanish lady—
Says the Washington Union :
was born in Puebla, received a
liberal education, and has traveled extensive
ly in the United States and Europe. H was
not many years ago, a visitor in New York
city, where be formed a number of acquaintan
ces H is said not to resemble a Spaniard in
appearance, having a fair complexion,, blue
eyes, and light hair—marks of the Auglo Sax
on blood, inherited from his father, lleis one
of the most remarkable men Mexico liar yet
ptoduced as a political ruler; and, but fr the
hostility of the church, would probably . have
proved himself a regenerator, in some degree,
of that distracted and decaying country, lie
is said to be strongly republican to sentitient."
