ginu with tl.;ceit and ends with falsehood ;
and indeed from beginning to end, is to
tally destitute of any other or better
qualifications.
The article purports to be a reply to a
fow remark rnado by us u few weeks ago ;
and says that we "re-openod the volume of
Mr. Biglers shameless inconsistency and
treachery nt the very page where we (For
ney) "rested." This is not true, Mr. For
ney, and the truth may ns well be told at
once. You never "rested" from abuse
of Gov. Biglerj and for the last twelve
years, you have never omittjd an opportu
nity of giving him the assassins stab, un
til within the last year your desperation
has induced less reserve, and you now do
openly what you had long been secretly
engaged in. But who cares when, or at 1
what "page" you ceaso your abuse; cer
tainly not tho friends of Gov. B. If the
abuse of the Tribune and other kindred
prints did him' harm in times past, the
falsehoods and slanders of a renegade can
do him no iiy'ury now or hereafter.
Tho article refered to however goes on
through a lengthy effort at self-justification
asserting that the object of the 1'rms
in its establishment was to yield an lion-
est support to the administration of Mr.
Buchanan,
Ah, Colonel! you cannot "soft-soap"'
the public in this way any longer. It is
"too late." A year ago such was the be-1
lief among many of your former friends ;
but not among ull. There were those
among tho most intimate of them who
knew your nature too well, and : jio
dcieivtJ ; and who embraced every oppor
tunity to put tho unsuspecting on their
guard, leFt they be entrapped ; but they
were not generally heeded. We confess
to having been victimized to a considera
ble extent. All that we could consistent
ly do to extend thecirculiv.ion of the Prest
when it was first established was dono
done upon the faith we had in the profes
sions of its editor. We are sorry for it
now, and can only hopo that we may live
to repair the wrong.
It is not necossury for us now lo give
the rea-ons why those friends mistrusted
the real purposes of Col. Forney. They
t?ere sufficient for men capable of tracing
conclusions from premitory symptoms.
Now that he is completely ouUiJt of the
democratic organization; now that his
sympathies are all against the party to
which he formerly professed such ardent
attachment, and the party that has fed
nnd fattened him ; now that he spares no
abuse of tho leaders of that party, calling
them theauthorsof "a bascwindle''fraud"
and "client ;" now that he never fails to
vent his spleen ngainst tbe whole south,
nnd can see just as much "tovlhern agget
uW as can Wilson Halo orGreoly; and
now that ho seeks not to counsel or har
monize with democrats, but is heart and
oul with the leaders of all the different
factions now banded or banding together
for the overthrow of the democratic par
ty, lamenting over our victoriesand exalt
ing over their triumphs,sittingintheircon
claves and entering intothcir plans, labor
ing for their advancement and making
common cause with them.the people need
110 other proof of his apostacy and treach
cry. Theso facU speak loudor than words.
The plainest reasoning could not more
thoroughly convince them that the whole
sehomo was one of deep and dark decep
tion. There may be thoso who think that Col.
Forneys hostility to Senator Bigler dates
from the introduction of the Lecompton
constitution into Congress. We trust they
wll continue in their error no longer.
Ho may have supported Mr. Bigler when
nominated by, the people, but it was nev
er" with a will. But becAiiso to do so was a
' lesser evil than' to oppose him, and thus
throw himself into the arms of the oppo
sition a few years earlier than he has done.
Ever since Gov. Bigler entered public life,
and gave promise of those sterling quail-
ties of hoaa ana nean wmcn nave won lor

ites of Fortune as themselves. This is in j . .,.. r .1 :.r,-t,l tn
no cae more fully exemplified in regard
to nations, (individual instances aro too
numerous to need special reference,) than
in the case of Great Britain. That nation
from which wo profess principally to have
derived our origin ns a people entirely ns
a government.
While it is to bo lamented that so great,
so enlightened, and so refined a nation
should be open to such heavy censure ;
yet is as true of her, as it is discreditable
to her, that as a government she is the
most nrrognnt and presuming of all tho
nations of the earth. Possessing the
naughty oenring 01 tno lion nor national ,
emblem witn a portion 01 ins courage,
but none of his magnnanimity, she has
long maintained, in theory nt least, if not
always'in practice, that "Britlnnia rules
tho wave." Acting upon this imperious
assumpsion, she has ever claimed that ev
ery crafc no mutter to what nation belong- j
ing, Bails npon Ocean, Sea or (i ulf, should
pay tribute to he,r maritime supremacy
by submitting to whutever humilia
ting searchos and detentions sho might
chose to impose; even to the extent of re
ceiving a shot in the hnll or rigging by
way of a friendly assurance of the patron
age of its superior.
This practice has been followed up by
the hirelings of tho BritipliJXavy with some
interruptions and suspensions since that
branch of her power first beeamo formida
ble. And however necessary it may have
I beeonio for her to discontinue it from mo
tives of interest or expediency, the right
has never yet been disclaim cd.
Th6 war of 1812 between her and us,
as every school boy knows, grew out of
this right of search, claimed by the Brit
ish government j and although they had
virtually ceased to exerciso it so f.ir as our
commerce was concerned until recently,
the treaty of peace between tho two
governments which ended the war, con
tains no renunciation of that right.
Within a brief period however our An
glo Saxon neighbors under color of th
provisions of tho treaty made some years
ago between several of the great powers,
them and ourselves included, in relation
to the tuppression of the African slave t rude,
have revived their old practico of way
laying and searching our merchantmen ;
and as if to (mike amends to themselves
for their long abstinence from such acts of
insult and outrage, seem to be surpassing
all their former efforts in this delectable
employment. Within twenty one days,
as will be seen by a list in another part of
our Banc, twentv one of our vessels were
boarded by English steamers, many of
hetn in the. most insolent and overbear-

liberties which our fathers fought and bled
to secure-" We highly approve tho sug
gestion so far as he anil the Republicans
generally nre concerned. The fasting
would assist greatly in relieving their
stomachs of the superfluousbile with which
they aro at present encumbered; and al
though their prayers under the rule laid
down in tho "Good Book" could not avail
much, yet if offered in a spirit of genuine
humility and repentance could not mnke
their casn much worse.

natural one, was that the liorougli "Fa

claimed the privilege of examining their

These ollicials not only Dehaved in the

and cutlasses as a meansof on forcing their
orders. It remains to be seen how long
this British steamer will be allowed to
pursue this course of conduct; but to our
mind, the very best method of teaching
its oll'iccrs nnd superiors good manners
would be to givo hor a broadside from
some American vessel capable of sinking
her in half an hour. This practice of al
lowing British and Spanish voxels to in
