TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1859.
SPEECH OF MR. J. W. FORNEY, 1
TO THE ffTATK-JtWHTS DEMOCRACY* .OF BERKS
■ Cou W AX READING, AUGUST 3, iB6O, !
I need not say, gontlemon, sincerely
gratified to mcot so largo hu assemblage of. rnyifel
low-citizens of Borka county.- In accepting :tho
invitation of your cominitteG-lb bo present <m tW
QJoasion, which I did at once, 1 folt a double plea
.suro: first, beoauHc-I am. .almost “native ;Uero and
tditho maimer born; 55 Laving iivod the beat portion’
of \ay life In your neighbor county of Lancaster.;’
and, second, because X profoundly sympathise with
you in tho great movement in which you-aro en
gaged. r . . ; . 1
- Berks county is filled vflth Revolutionary remi:
mseenoea. It iBUuo, no great battle of tho Revo
lution was fought here, and there aro broader thca*.
Ires -upon which the great principles of tho Itcvbiu
tipu woro assorted; but from, thU neighborhood;
and from this county, wont Toftfv ihauy^Tftbbib
clmmpions of our infant colonics, roacVy, if need
be, to eacrifleo everything In their behalf. Gentle
men, you aro a Revolutionary peoplo by instinct,
uud by tradition. Tho romance of Iho Revo
lution, with all its details, is eiugularly ilius
trkted iuyour history. When wo go to tho record
: which describes the glorious struggles of the Infant
oolonios against tho besottod monarchy of Great
where do wo find a nioro aolf-aaorifloing
/spirit, and whore do wo find men more roady to
give, up station, to forego comfort, ,and oven to
surrender lifo itself? You aro, therefore, always
revolutionists whonover the principles upon Which
: the Republic is founded aro sought to ho betrayed.
Tho names of Mablonborg, Hiester, and others;
which shine liko stars in our annals, recall all tho
great associations of the past. What was it that
induoed thorn to give up homo and comfort ? What
jwaa it that Induced them to dare'the frowns of
power, to pnt their lives in jeopardy ?—be
cause in that day he who ombarked in tho Revolu*
iion ombarkod all, not moroly his household gods,
J>ut his life. What was it ? Gontlomon, it was tho
great principle of popular sovereignty. fGreat
applause.]
• That was tho issno ninety years ago—a short
tune in the record of tho world, when wo remem
ber that there aro thoso still living among us who,
if they did not participate iutUo SUcdoedifigßoVdlu
.tion, at least lived among thbse who did; Reool*
loot that Great Britain had been ih stfikie
tolerant to tho Ameririrth OOWhies. tjho had, with
Wise forecait) SCOU tho various races of inOn thrown
upon these uncivilized and unpopulated shores.
She had soon’the Huguenots and the Lutherans
compelled to Como hither for conscience ildfckt and
uld not daro to InlwhjtO With their roligious
b° tc i ftro any interference with the
tho oitisons of tho colonies to worship
G°d in thoVr.Own way. No, she recognised, in so far
as khe' thought they Could oxoreiso thetpi neafi.y
bfoVyrightwhiOh belonged to thfJim ahd tUOV Were
.generally happy, Rccotloot that tho Revolution
Was not precipitated upon the colonies; tho poo
plo took up arms Only alter Submission had ceased
to no ft Virtue. AVhat, then, was it that woke this
patienttoconlo to arms?, It wafi the FurliaHldiU Uf
Eniland, Which deCldlOd tliiii uio pcOpfe of these
cOlomcd Should not exercise tho right to decido
their bwu affairs in their oWn way, or; in other*
words-, that they should bo taxed without their eon-
Bant 5 That was If; In HtHefc Wdrdfl) Urlnding it
dowA plainly Ahd braoticaliy to you, tho Parlia
luentof Great Bntalo decided tnat tho people of
Bents county should not cloyt tO do nB thoy pleased
without first referring their action to that Parlia*
menfc; Then it was pint tho wildld tiHUtin flow td
arms* and tho gallant hien to whom I have referrod
oamo forth to risk their livos in defonco of their
country. Wo all know that in the ond tho edionies
glondusly triumphed, bat at the expenao of utany
noble lives. lOtdim then, gqntloihtito; that ua revolu
tion is to begin Aliywhero in this country, it ought,
to UOglli in Berks county. It began in Berks
county nearly ninety years ago, and it ought to
begin in Berks county to-day.
Aiut what aro wo fighting for now ? Wo aro not
hero, to indulge .in the expression of spicori. Wo
aro jiot hero to dismiss tho appointment or tho dls
,appoimhieht of anybody. We, aro not berov to
1 venlfim^> 'Outr-phtrlOUdur, Or id** show
better LcmoOratS than anjr other Sot of men.
These are, with lno nt least; nU debatable (Juoitfone;
As to those who claim to bo the Demoorntic party,
who may have mot hero yesterdav, or the day be
. foro, or u year ago, thoy can imiufgo themselves.
Comparisons as to Democracy, like other things,
nro said to bo odorous; and in this progressive
age, in a community which reads the newspapers,
and which sends its ohildroti id the edmthon schools,
wh’cu these inch talk of DeirioCrady and ask us at
the sumo time to eubsoribo to that Which Is indrely
aristocracy, they will only bo laughed at. [Cheers.]
Wo aro horo for principle. We are not boro to at
tack Mr. Buchanali) though in'tho course of what
I say here to-day I may possibly allude to that dis*
tioguished personage. Some reference (o the cam
paign in which wo aro engaged, to tho causes
which have called us tOgcthorj to show what wo
bare done, and what tlld future has !n etdro for
partis in this country, will bo noccssary. In
my capaoity as Chairman of tho State Cen
tral Committeo of tho State-Rights Demo
cracy- of Pennsylvania, I will, with your per
mission, state our cose, and leave it with. you
to judgo when tbu October eicdtldtt tli-rifos.
As I mu informed thpt-tho dommittco on resolutions
are now ready to I give way to them, and
will resume my remarks when tuoy iiavo con
cluded. .
[The committee, through A. Jordan Swart*, E&q.,
horc rotiorled & deided Of admirable rcsolutiona,
which Wtifo dao]itikf.J-
Mr. h'oBNEV resumed:
I need not say, follow-citizon*, that the resolu
tions which havo Just boon irad and adopted mcot
my cordial approbation fcuotfiug Sdinowhat of
Berk«j t enn fully appreciate your local difficulties;
and, though it does uot become mo to iutorposo my
advice, I havo to say that, in so fur as you recog
nise tho popular rufo, iu so far us you look to the
rule of tho majority, you‘propose a reibrln ih which
I concur- Tho tl'uth U,you£>patli in titnes past go
norally has been oho of victory, until within the last
year; Why have ydu heretofore triumphed \ Why
is it that the Democratic party of Ute nation lias con
stantly looked to Berks county? Why has cVcry.
ProaUlcuUalcandidato regarded this as the first poiut
to secure beforo he could no strong ? Why, gentle
men, because youfollotVodin the path marked out for
you by.your Revolutionary joadota; It was becauso
in Dorks -county the prlnciptus of tho Revolution
wero laid down early and followed early aud Into- It
was because hero in Berks county tho Revolution
gave you names, and not names only, but mon
wen who could load you to victory, and who did lead
you to victory. I bavo soon tho day —and lam
not an old man—when tho clouds of
eottlcd thick and fast upon tho Demoor&tio (lag) d
Uvod in the contest of 1840, when tho whole State
was swopt ns by a whirlwind of Opposition en
thusiasm. But hero, in this county, you held the
standard of tho Democratic party aloft unstained,
while your neighbor of Lancaster gaVo it up,
and crowned tuo Opposition triumph by such
.a majority as terrified (he Democracy of tho
Union. Aud why is . tho Democratic party of
Berks couuty shaken to its centre to-day ? Why
is it that wo behold hero a divided Democratic
household? Let me ottll your attontion to tho
chief cause of this atato of affairs. Tho oounty of
Berks has never been friendly to James Buchanan.
[Loud ohoers. Drunken man inthecrowd—“ that’s
alie;”crlos of “ put him out,’ 5 Ac.] For some
reason or anothor, it has always distrusted him.
{« That’s bo,” «nd applause.] It distrusted him in
tho days of 1834, in tho days of 1838, in tho days of
1844, in tho days of 1848, and in tho days of 1862.
I have a right to speak of tho relations of this
county to that distinguished gentleman j and in
looking through this audience I coo tho faces of
some who, if their hearts could speak, would an
swer approvingly to that which I say. The county
of Berks, I repeat, never trußted James Buchanan!
Why? Thero was an ineradicable suspicion in tho
minds of this people. For long years living in
an adjoining neighborhood, instinctively a Demo
mocrat—a Democrat in all my feelings—then, as I
am now, devoted to tho traditions, and nttuchcd
to the principles of tho Demooratiu party, and at
the s&mo time devoted to Mr. Buchanan; becauso I
believed him to be worthy of tho coufulenoo of that
party, it was a study with me to ovorcomo thfe pre
judice against him among those' to whom I am
now spcuKiug. I made many a jouruoy hither,
and many an effort to secure your approval of him;
but- for somo reason this prcjuufco remained.
It may hnvo been that I did not understand it then,
but Ido now. Why was this? He certainly had
intellect; ho certainly had high personal cha
racter; ho certainly had distinguished him
self iu tho nation’s councils os an ablo
statesman. ' No man denies to him theso
attributes. Why, then, was It that tho honest
Democratic yeomanry of Berks county nlouo inis*
trustod him ? It was because the descendants of
these very Revolutionary leaders to u'honi I re
ferred had convinced you that he -mus unsound
in the faith, of the Demon atic party. (“ True,”
and ohcere,] Tho timo was, whon to say that Mr.
Buohanan was a Federalist would mako tho blood
course through my veins like liquid fire. I could
not believo that ono who hod accepted so many
representative positions from the Democratic parly
could bo anything elec than a Democrat as Presi
dent. Tho errors of the past are those which nil
of us should repent. Ho and boon a Federalist in
early and middle life. Thoro is many an honest
Democrat to-day who has heretofore been an
Opposition man, u Whig or an American, or. if you
please, nßopublioan ; but wo do not distrust him bo
cnußO he onco belongod to anothor organisation ;
and I thought that tho snmo rule might bo applied
to our distinguished statesman. I thorefore' re
garded tho opposition mode to him in your county
of Berks as a moat unjust ono. I regarded tho
attacks upon his sincerity in refercnco to Demo
cratic principles as prompted in the first place by
personal rivalry, and possibly in somo instances
thoywero. But they convincedyou. Youdidnot
trust him, gentlemen.; but water dropping upon a
rock will sometimes wear tho rock ; constant per
sistence and porsovorunoo will sometimes accom
plish an end; and twehty-ftvo years of hard servioo
In support of Jamos Buchanan finnlly conquered
you, and wc secured his nomination.
And why did,wo secure it? lie had gono to
England— l' will not say had loft his country for
his country’s good, for now tho result proves he
left it for his country’# harm—and was thus re
moved from tho atmosphere of politics, and kept
out of tho excitement growing Jut of tho passage of
the Kansas-Nobrnska bill. Jfo had been for the
MiwfourUlnc; but ho is a ahrowd, skilful, and wary

could convince the that'ho intended to bo true to ■
his plightod faith, I ttohld gladly support him for

Remember, then, gentleraou of the Administra
tion. that tb|s ba ttlo Is not one to bo givCn up or sur
rendetedt ItCnunOtbo surrendered! What is the
principle ? Do you tell mo there is nothing practi
cal iu it ? Lot us sco. Hore is my old Friend;
Harry Henman, unco of Lancaster, and now of
Reading; you nil know him; we wero boys toge
ther—here ho is a sovereign; ho has tho right to
vote for or against slavery, nnd the Tight to vote
in rcforcnco to his own affairs; and yet if ho goes
to Kansas, whon he gets there he finds that he can*
ndtfld Voto! Will you tell me thatwhen an American
citizen, sovereign herd, goes to a Territory of tho
United States ho ceases to bo a sovoroign, but be
comes a white slave? Tho Administration says
that the citizen ceases to bo a full citizen in tno
Territories; that he is not tho lamo man in K&ueas
that - he is here; wo say, ih reply, that ho is tho
same man everywhere; that the Constitution
covors him liko all eternal shield* nhtl whothor ho
sails on tho sea or walks on tho land, whothor iti
the far west,
Andh o .;;^roL'i l iil' , vi^tetaln ttBS ’-
or in the far-off woods of Aroostook, or tho ever
glades of Florida, wheroverho may bo, ho is pano
plied by tho Constitution, which covers and pro
tects him, and ho stands erect in tho image of his
Maker, an Amorican citizen. [Cheers.] .That is
our issue, that is what wo aro fighting for, that is
what wo want. Is it nothing ? Is it uotpraotical?
Is it a lie? oris it not that groat eternal truth,
upon which tho whole fabric of our froo institu
tions reposes ? That is tho roasou, gentlemen, that
wc took up arms against this consolidated despot
ism at Washington \ that is "tho roason wo robolfed J
that' Is the reason wo have boon traduced and
hunted,' and a price set upon our heads { and that
is tho reason why, in October, 1858, you triumphed
in this glorious county of Borks, and whllo you
performed that great übt of sending Major
Schwartz to Congress, you performed tno other
act of banishing to Austria another gentleman
whom I havo already onoo named. [Cheers.}
But have wo lost, gentlemen of tho Administra
tion? Have wo been whipped? Has this little grain of
mustard-seed resulted in nothing? Has the sum
mor produced but a single swallow ? Has
tho little cloud that gathered in the horizon in 1857
ended in wind and iu snioko alone ? Let mo
call your attention to ono or two facta. Tho
platform of tho State-Bights .Democracy of
Pennsylvania has boon adopted by nearly
every Demooratlo State Convention held in
tho North since wo’mot at Harrisburg on tbe
10th of April last. Tho Democrats of Michigan,
of Minnesota, of Ohio, of lowa, of Illinois, and of
Indiana have adopted it. That despised platform
has been acooptod by thoso Democratic States;
and, mark tho words, it must bo accepted at
Charleston in 1860, or I would not give as much
for the Presidential nomination to bo inado inthat
year by tho Demooratio paTty as I would giYo for a
skiuplastcr worth six and a quarter cents twenty
years ago. [Great applause.]
Fcllow-citizons, I havo no hostilities to gratify.
I have neecasimly roferred to tho past; and-I am
perfectly willing that tho Republicans and Ad

Tho clamor against Judge Douglas,- w fasblonablo
a year ago, and so actively stimulated by. the
Federal Administration, that, he would .never bo
heartily supported by the people of the South, is
subsiding, precisely ns - all'such clamOrs'must sub
side. His triumph in Illinois, hisbriqf, sharp, and
oxplicit: letter to Mr Dprr.oflowa,.harodonemuch
to convince Demoorats evetywhere that he is not
only the safest man for tho North, • but that. the'
South will perpetrate tho .most suicidal act should
they not .cordially rapport him. Indeed, his.
noblest triumphs have been achieved m sup
porting Southern rights in the free States.- Interest
ing ashia whole public life has. been, hia record
contains nothing so striking ns his stand against
tho sectionalism of hia own Stefo* and tbo'violence
of oxti'pfflo Northern members of the Senate, while.
vindicating the Constitutional guarantees of the
Southern people. And when wo recollect that' iii
hjs rccont difforenco with tho Administration of
Mr. Buohanan.ho took no now ground, but followed
steadily in the path marked out by the Southora :
statesmen themselves]: and down to the period 1
of tho passage of tbo Kansas-Nebrafika bill,
when even Senator Ifuntor,. of Virginia, de
clared' that Judge Douglas deserved the Presi
dency fof his heroism- in that crisis, and
olbo that he opposed an Administration measure
not really acceptable to tho people of tho South,,
but in itself so odious that Senator Hammond de
clared that It ought to be kicked out of Congress—,
it would be lhadiioss and folly to supposo. that tho
Southern * peoplo will not rapport Stephen A.
when tho propor time sliall arrive. His
namo will bq tho bon'd of a national brotherhood,
a concession to a sinpero public sontimontintbc
North, andan oxsdranco In/ayor of Southern rights
ten thousand times strongor than that which will
bo. seourediaany other event, .
AYo offer you a /nan who will.bring you vio-,

in some quartern, batpoliticlans are often forced to
swallow such ITiftVC-doTwj It foyself/and.ex 4 '
poet lod6 It again; but Douglas will only be a hard
pul ttTa voryfow mew. [Great laughter.] Tho
loaders aro tocblo in comparison with tho people,
mid the lattor aro politicians only about three
months in the year. They attend to their farms
,ond their workshops, and allow tho machinery of
warty to bo managed by a sot of gentlemen who
havo nothing else to do; and as long as these gen
tlemen do right and nominate good men thoy ac
quiesce in thoir management. If the people will
tako these primary olcctlons Into thoir own hands
and see that an honest expression of Democratic
souftment is allowed at them, thoro oun benodoakt
but that Stephen A. Douglas will bo our candidate
in 1860. „-
In tho person'of Stephen A. Douglas you have a
man whom you can support, becauso he has shown
that ho has .capacity and courage to fight power
crowned With almost imporial authority.. ,I
know but little of the leaders of tho Jiepub-
Sublican party, but I can tell yott that so far as tho
.opublioan masses are concerned, particularly old
Democrats Who have joined that organization, there
is hardly ono who doos not feel, when ho -thinks of
tho Littlo Giant of tho West, “ thoro is tbe man I
would like to havo a chauco to Tata for.” [Ap
plause.] ....
Now, gentlemen, what aro the 'espeolal advan
tages of Douglas, outride of his own personal cha
racter ? Let mo tell you* Ho believes that the
peoplo of a Territory, like thoso of a State, lave tho
right to do as they please iu refbrenco'ta tßolrown
affairs. I hate explained that principle already
in my own way, and need not elaborate it. lie
-is opposed also to tho revival of tho slave trade
and to tho establishment of a'slato'codo for
the protection of slavory in the * Territories.
I havo said so much of Mr. Douglas that you may
think that’l have been ~ making a more Douglas
spettqjb. To rescue myself from that imputation.
I will tell you aud I want my friend
Sheridan to- put it down—that if Stephen
A. Douglas was to travel back from, the
principle upon which ho stands, and' [ho plat
form whloh he has made for himself, ! would just
a3freoly,opposo him as I havo opposed'Mr. : Bu
chanan ; for, as I said to you before—and wo had
all better learn tho lesson—the day has come for
bravo end bold mon. £ do not believe that we need -
fear Douglas.. [“No, no;” “Ho baa proved him
self,” and cheers.] But we must trust somebody.
You will tell mo that wo- trusted Mr. Buchanan,
and that he cheated us, in 1856. -That is true,"but
remomber that Mr. Buchanan’s experience and ex
ample! is a lesson to othors. Nobody is going to
imitato him, God knows! Who would Tall into
such errors? I would liko to see the man reckless
and bold enough to do what Mr. Buchanan has
done, and encounter tho storm of reproach he has
encountered.
Gentlemen, I fear I am betrayibg myself into
rather too long a speech. [“Oh.no,” “go on.”
“Wo liko to listen to you,” ad.]' 1
Thoro-are, -however, ono or two things which I
dOßire to talk to you about, and which may not bo
uninteresting to tts, Pennsylvanians, as we all.aro,
assembled hero in family meeting. These public
meetings do a great deal of good*, and Cannot bo
productive of any ovil. .Wo. meet togethor, and'
discuss great principles and then go home where wc
repeat what wo have hoard, and sometimes deduce
an oxamplo for future practico. Tho pcoplo of
Pennsylvania bavo a great, many lessons to loam,,
and alnong others, that they ought to stick to each
other. 1 - - - . • •
You, of Berks county, dp not foe! os .much in
.torost in this Territorial question as tho peoplo who
inhabit other parts of the country, becauso whilst
they are toiling and struggling with au unproduc
tive soil, and sending their children West to find
homes in the wilderness, you aro happy here in
tho possession of a soil and climate upon which God
out of bis vast hand baa poured unnumbered
blessings. Here,' indeed, it may bo said that tho
Deity sheds downllis lasting smile, and you, there
fore. dd not feel what your brothers in other parts
of tno country feel, who send out their sons and
daughters to tne distant fields of the far West, and
who, in their owu poreons, havo suffered tho
wrongs heaped upon them .by an Administration
which, I am sorry to say, began its career as a De
mocratic Administration.
Another issue concerns you more immediately,
and that is tho protection of our own homo indus
try. [Applause.] Now, I began life aa a tariff and
not as a freo-trado man, but still not as an ultra
protectionist. I look at this issuo rather as a local
than a general issue. Ido not believo that Penn
sylvania should put herself on p. high protection
tariff; but I do beliovo that if wo could have a
united Sentiment in favorofa permanent protec
tivo polioy ; if wo could carry our Congressional
delegation to Washington, ovory man of it anima
ted by tho feeling which must horeaftcr animate
our gallant friends Schwartz nndKeim, our onergy
and unity would get, if not all wo asked, at least
all that we deserved, and would give greater im*
portauco to the State in the councils of the nation.
South Carolina, under the load of her greatest
statesman, John C. Calhoun, whose theories have
luflictcd immeasurable ovil upon the South, has
always exerted a powerful influence In Congroes,
through the united and determined purposo of her
Representatives.
But did you oyer hear of South Carolina being
violently assailed in the person of her Representa
tives because she stood forward for horseif ? .Mr.
Calhoun was assailed because ho was & disnnionist,
out not because he loved his State too much; not
because ho was too fond of tho mother who gave
him birth. When .wo look from this picture of
South Carolina to that of Pennsylvania what do we
see ’l . Wo see our men fighting over some misera
ble) applicant for plaoo or intriguing about some
job, (a railroad, or Collins steamer lino soheme,
or something of tho kind,) forgetting the great
issues upon which depend the gldry aud the pros
perity, and tho existence of our own State. Lot
us profit by tho example set by South Carolina.
A word or two now upou a subject whioh con
cerns you and the State as much as that of the
tariff—l refer to that resolution in tho platform
which has just boon adopted, which deolareß your
approval of tho sale of tho main lino of public
works.
• Tho Administration at Washington, after having
gono on plundering ad libitum, outrival ling all
the dishonest schemes that any other Administra
tion has evor been guilty of, was sudd only seized
with a holy horror of corruption, and instructed
its organs hero and elsowhero to traduce Governor
Packer, because ho signed tho bill authorizing the
sale of theso works. I recollect very well, while
living in Lancaster, that we had the State railroad
running through our county , and we rather liked
it, because it assisted us - politically.' You, on
tho other hand, I remember, never thought of sell
ing theso works; but in your eyes thoy woro so
the weekly press.
