Sljc Scffcrsonian. THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1853. EST Wo invite the careful attention o our readers, especially Democrats, to the i:rapliic aud eloquent letter of Col. John "W. Forney, in another column of to-day's Jeflersonian. We believe that it. is nlino.-t- universal ly admitted that if Miv Buchanan owe more to one man than to another for bis election to the Presidency, that man is Col. Forney. Mr. Forney loved, cherish cd nd supported him so long as hi con Kjicncc justified him in so doing. But since Mr. Buchanan has deserted -the pledges of the Democratic party, and has refused to redeem his owu promise?, and fanatically persits in n. policy as tyrn me al s ever cmenatcd from a uionarchial government, Col. Forney, as a true and honest man, above the meanness of wily and unprincipled politicians, who .go for party, right or wrong, stops" arid .views carefully the ground on which tins policy rests, and become convinced that the Presideut of his choice has fallen iuto a fundamental error, aud therefore begs leave to decline rendering his support in aid of a policy so subversive of the pt'in ples of a Republican government. Iut, read his letter. The Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist Epicopal Church, will com mence it? ses.-Iou in Eauton on Wednes day noxf, the 2ith inst.

Hot Bread. The following is from Dr. John G. Bunting, who has been experimenting with Alexis St. Martin, the man with ai hole in his stomach, made by a bullet, through which can be seen all the pro- 1 t esse or stages through which the differ cnt articles of food must pass itf the act of digestion. Hot bread never digests! Dear this in mind, reader, if ou are ac customed to eat the light aud tempting biscuit at tea, or the warm Joaf which looks so apetizingupoo your diimer table. Hot bread never digests at all. After a long season of fumbling and working a bout the stomach, it will begin tp fer-i menr. and it will eventually betiassed out of the ttomach a an unwelcome tenant of that delioate organ, but -never digests never becomes assimilated to or ab sorbed by the orgaus that 'appropriate nutrition to the body.

Washington, March l2tb,J858. T lnft Philadetohia on Wednesday on a hurried visit to some friends here, and 4- will return, God willing, by tins ovcumg s traiu,carrying with me tins uurnea ieir ter, which must t'akc the place of my usu al word in the Press of to-morrow. What a diifercuco between March Ic07 ana March iSS's! I dwell upon it with tur- prisc and grief. One year ago tha.coun trv was full of content, and at peace with itself. The hearts of all our people beat responsively to a noble inaugural, and the hands of men of all parties were uplifted to support and strengthen our veuerable President. The Democrats were united and iovous. and enzed hopefully into a trawtuil and victorious future. The Re publicans were di?maycd, and new polit ical combinations were auauaouta uciore the nrosuect of a wie and patriotic poli ev. Mr. Seward, in the Senate; Mr Stauton in the House; Mr. Greeley, iu the Tribune, instead of prepariug new weanons of attack upon the Admimtra tiou; were turning their thoughts to those a substantial questions upon which all men a.rrce in this hannv country. Even the Americans, few iu uumber, could nee no profit in faction, aud., were. , reconsidering their plans. The extreme South so apt to chafe iuto a. passion, was as .calm as summer's morning. Conservatism , in its very best sense, had taken possession of the Government. An experienced. 1'resi dent,. a sure and sagacious Cabinet, a rea dy Senate -iu session, and a.fcUH- more, willing Uoue preparing fqr its new term these constituted the sterling supetruc turc ot an endunn i conumon oi uauoua prosperity. And what a chance has one year pro duced! I can hardly believe my sense that I am writing from the capital of my country, and that my old friend he, to whom I have borne-almost, filial relation? frnm iiiv bovhood he to whom I have . . v - j -j - fiilfd in v few hones and fears he for whom I have dared the frowns of foe and for whom, during four long years in the lower house of Cougress the patronag in my gift was fearlersly bestowed, and Le knows how gladly and how spoutane ously, too; lean hardly beJieyc my scn sen, that this is 1 lie, city of Washington, and that James, Buchanan is President. What is tho aspect now? One wild reign of Terror. A test is erected brre, like .spine horrid iuptrumcnt of torture, upon which Democrats are tried and exe cuted for their opinions. The work of decapitation has ceased against lifetime foes,, and is now w,agcd upon old aud cheiishcd friends. 'Mcu.are removed and calumniated not .for being opposed to Democratic principles, but for beiug too. much iu favor of them. Tho. humblest Clerk, with his little family, who -stiug-gles along on his thousaud dollars a year must hide. bis. sentiments or leave his place. For. the bold aud upright JDeuio- crafc ho dares to thiuk aloud, therein .short shrift. If he has an office ho. must be ready, for the ominous cartel of dismis sal on the instant. If he is an inde pendent citizen, he is excluded from the Departments and from the White Hju-e like a comou leper. Au army of spies arc on the alert, huuting for victim. Wo to the unguarded gentleman who, in. the presence of oue of these eager caves drop pers, may let fall a free opinion! It is at once caught up and carried, with no lack of exaggeration, to the car of poner. It there is ou this round globe a race more despised in civilized society than any oth er, it is the race of informers. The no blest invective of the noblest of Irish ora tors has made them immortally infamous. These mercenaries now hold high servki in Washington. I could name several o! them from our own State, but I ibrbeai for the honor of Peunrjlvauia. Thej glory in their shameless trade.' Broken in fortune, and reckless of their owu fame, laughing at conscience in others and re jecting it for themselves, they swarm here anxious to earn their guilty wages. The most of these creatures, happily, arc 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 o pinion here against the intrepid scnti-nii-ut of the people; to bully in the hotcU, to infest the rooms of members, to "pump" the uew arrivals, to coax the doubtful, to intimidate the weak, to tupply false mo tives for honei-t differences, to fill the town with minors of defection aniong the friends of the Bight, toflatter power, and to applaud to the echo everything that falls .from tbe-lips of greatness. "Sir," said a wise aud good man to mc on one oeeajon, .Ecvcral years ago, klhe President rarely hears the truth. He is surrounded with sycophants, who say only what -pleases him.'' How often this profound truth is illustratcdl It is said that Fredeiick .the Gicat I tlinls Lord Brougbain'B horl fcketeh o.f him contains the statement would sometimes demand of his minis ters to Ulk .to him boldly; and when lfiry aid he wox5d lose his Umper, and boat them for their caudor.

Everybody lfked him during his long residence in the lat ter county. Honest, 'faithful.intelligeiit. and brave, he was a. find specimen of ihat beotch-irun clement which has infused vniany sterling traits into our Pennsyl- vauia character. Well, Maxwell is not ovcr-ricb; and so, after baring served his constituents with honor, for many years he asked for and obtained an Indian a pency in Kansas about two years so from President Pierce.

Full and latest Particulars. Special dispatch to the Missouri Dem. Alton, March 9, S-r o'clock, p. m McKee & Figuback : At 9 o'clock this morning; Rutherford, the State Sii poriutendent. and Col. Buckmastcr, War den, uuder'took to get into the cell of the prisoner by stratagem. Breakfast was set ut the cell door iu vessels of larger size than ordinary, the convict refused to opeu the door until! the hall was cleared, which, after a brief consultation, was uono. The warden, superintendent, and guards were each side of tho cell, but out of sight and motionless. The convict slowly opened the door nearly enough to admit the food when a crowbar was instantly inserted. Tho warden cried out to Crabb, tho im prisoned guard, to fight for his life. He accordingly sprang to the opening of the door, and at length dragged himself through, but not before he was stabbed bij the convict nine times, seven times in ihe bach and twice on the arms. "When the poor victim was dragged out; the convict barred the door again and refused to yield. He was theu given a few minutes for reflection, aud the rebel was, after much dodging and effort to get out of the reach of the fare, shot by the warden'. The ball struck his skull just below the left ear, and glancing around, lodged un der the skull. He fell instantly and was dragged out of the 'cell, and was thought to be dead but soon recovered and tall ed as aeusibly as any man couldtundcr the circumstances. After the couvict was taken out of the cell, his knife, about 8 inches long, with a double edge, was found in the cell, and on his person was found also another knife, with a blade four in ches loug. Crabb, the wouuded guard was immediately - taken to the hospital, and his wounds were examined and dress ed by Dr. Williams, the prisou surgeon, and Allen. The left lung was found to be twice perforated by the knife. The other wounds were not dangerous. Af ter his wounds were dressed he felt quite comfortable and couversed very freely. He expressed a sene of his dangerous condition, but was calm and hopeful. His wife visited him about eleven o'clock to-day, and. he bore himself with much fortitude throughout the interview. His physicians consider his case very critical, ana that the chances' are? much against his recovery. s Ihe conyict'wos laid on a mattrass in the prison hall. He said ho hoped Crabb would live, and m the uext breath said lie had -put five men in the same fix he was in himself. Dr. McMasters was present, and endeavored faithfully to draw Li3 at tention to the fact of his uenr approaoh to ucatn. lie exhibited no penitence or remorse, but said he. "hoped that God if there was any, would forgive him." tio sent tor one ot his confederates, and advised him to behave himself when he got out aud not bring himself to what he saw beforo him.
