Always thought so.— He squints, is wry-necked, wears a dirty white neckcloth, is by no means pleasant in his manners, is a formalist, is insincere, will make a wretched President.

Considerable anxiety was manifested among the democracy, immediately after the October election, as to who should be the next U. S." Senator from Pennsylvania, and as the time approached for the meeting of the Legisla ture, this anxiety continued to increase. The prominent candidates were Ilenrv D. Foster of Westmoreland. Ilendriek B. Wright, Mr. lfubbins of Philadelphia, and John W. For ney. Mr. Buckalew had also been in the field, but was induced to withdraw. At this stage of the contest Mr. I" ;<ter probably had the lead, but a rumor soon got abroad that Mr. Buchanan was in favor of Ftrney, and, whether true er false, that settled the matter, for who would not oblige a President elect by so small an act as a vote when he says lie would "feel complimented and obliged" by such a proceeding. The following is said to be the substance of the letter written by Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Mutt, President of the Ca nal Board: " As uiy position on the subject of electing a United Urates Senator may be misunder stood, I beg you to say to my friends that Col. John W. Forney, in my opinion, will be9t serve my administration of all those named, and 1 will feel complimented and obliged fur the votes of my friends in his fa vur for that office. Mr. Bobbins, Mr. Black, and so on, are very iuir men, but Col. For ney's claims are far superior to those of all others. J AS. BUCHANAN." 11 hen tne democratic caucus met at Ifar risburg Forney was nominated on the first ballot, as had been foreseen by the friend? of Mr. foster, some of wituni accordingly did not attend, and thus held themselves ready for a " free fight" on the day of election, which was fixed by law to take place cn Tues day last. In the meantime another difficulty sprung up by the S~nate refusing to take up the resolution to go into convention. The motive IJT thi? was to give the House time to dispose of the contested ca.se Loin Philadel phia —the sitting member, Ramsey, having about as much right t<> a seat a? any other man who chose to enter the hall and take one would have. He is however a good locofoco, while Mr. Smith, who had a majority of the votes, js not —and as this nn* vote might elect a l. S. Senator, the anxiety of the Furnev men to go into an election can be duly appre ciated. Subsequently, after keeping the For neyitet in hot water untii the last in >ment, the Senate on Tuesday went into joint con vention for the purj'ost: of electing a Senator of the United States in the r>.*:n . Mr. B:od head. l'be contest m# entirely !>etween Gen. Cameron, the American Republican candi date. and Mr. Forney, the nominee f the democratic caucus. On the Eist ballot Gen eral C ameron wa elected by a majority of one vote. The vote stood : For Simon Cameron, C7 " John W. Forney. - 58 " Henry D. Foster, " Wuiiant Wilkin-, ] —thus giiing t • General Cacier u a majority of .me v <te. Genera. Cameron received the whole American and Republican vole of both Houses. Three democrat.- voted for hirn— Wagonseiler and Lob, .f Schuylkill, and Manear of York. Seven <J mooriCs voted for Henry D. Foster, to wit:—Cresweli of Blair. Fausold and Hill of Westmoreland. Backus >f Clearfield, Smith of Cumbria, and Ceil: ur u::d Nicholsoti of Armstrong. tcr voted for William Wilkius. ibis rc.-ult presents a strange contrast to the proceedings a few .cars ag when, with a large majority on joint ballot, the opposi tion ff;i* unable to elect Gen. Cameron by puerile discu*.ons among themselves. The ies>on then taught was however of some ?er vice, rw.J united minority a- now effected what a hutch potch muj rity Could not then do—thus in some measure making amends fur the injustice then d<n* Geu. Cameron and the injury entailed on the party. Forney however \yj.-> the wrui.g candidate for the democracy to bring into the field. He has been connected f r years with one of the factions into which the democratic party iu ! this State is divided—factious which, though ■ acting tugetner to Secure the spoils, hate each other thoroughly—and has frequent! v de nounced the other division in acrimonious i language not likely to be forgotten. Those familiar with the politics of this .V.aie Ibr the past twenty years must know this, and we have no doubt couki the fact be ascertained, his defeat is as much a feather in Mo'/ cap as it is to the American Republicans. .By the way of St. Louis we have by i telegraph accounts of terrible sufferings on the Plains.

It provides fur the extension of government uid to the submarine telegraph company upon conditions to be de cided upon by the President and in agree ment with similar terms on the part of the British government. The House invalid pen sion bill was passed. The consideration of the lowa Senatorial case was then resumed, and subsequently decided that Mr. Harlan was not entitled to his seat. 1 he House after passing s<>ine private bills and being cn the point of adjournment was thrown into excitement by a proposition ti appoint a committee of investigation iu rela tion to charges of venality and corruption on the part of sutue members in connection with the Minnesota railr.-ad grants. The action was based on an editorial of the New York 1 inies. but a more direct implication was subsequently made by Mr. Paine, of North 1 Carolina, who stated that a proposition had been made to him. by a member of the House, to give him SISOO a-- a consideration for his vote in favor of the bill. The announcement raised quite a storm of excitement, and tbe House was forced, in spite of a very evident disinclination on the part of Home member-, to adopt tbe resolution providing for an inves- tigation. It is stated that the House Committee on 'territories have resolved to report against the annexation of Carson \ alley to California, but a.a measure of telief to tbe people of that Valley irotn the oppressive immoralities ot their Mormon neighbors, have determined to recommend the passage rf a bill fur tbe prevention and punishment of polygamy. ' The Committee have also resolved to report against the erection of a territorial govern inent in Arazuna, but will recommend instead tie establishment "of a new judicial district South i 1 the Cila, and tbe organization of a liberal laud system. LATEST NEWS. The steamship Aaia arrived at New York on the 12th inst., bringing Liverpool dates down to the 27th ult. With regard to the most interesting point* of European politics, the renewal of the Pari? Conferences, tbe N'eufchatel embnglio, and the Anglo Persian war, tbe intelligence is little uiore than a budget of rumors. No day had been tixed for the opening of the Paris Conferences, but it was believed that France and England were agreed upon the course to be pursued, and hence an early meeting is anticipated. Prussia and Switzerland . -.ntinued th-ir prep arations for war, but it wn thought the other powers would combine to prevent actual hos tilities. A variety til run,..i s prevailed as to the position of Great Britian mwuf is the contending parties, the latest of which was that England bad offered ier n dr-.shn and it had been accepted by .Switzerland. The Persian Government is said to have assented . to some of the demands of Gn-t Britain, relating to the re-toraiioti of Herat, A but , refused others. In the meantime lbisia was making a ree <nnoissancc with the view t < some etrategetic movements in favor of Per sia. These vari ius causes of difficulty appear to have originated sonae-looae apprehensions that the peace of Europe m .y be again dis turbed, but on el >re examination they scarce ly affjrd ground fir any serious b<ii-f that such a result is pr bal-le. Prussia and Swit zerland will hardly be allowed to embreii themselves or ot iters upon a question .f more local import, the Paris Conferences will un doubtedly settle the B ,'grad and Isle of 5 r pents questions without r- s ,rt to any me at a more serious than the replication* of diplo macy, and as for the war with Persia it may last for a decade and vet be Fruitless of any 1 rceuit that will affect the repose of Europe.
