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 following is from Dr. John G.

with Alexis St. Martin, the man with ai
hole in his stomach, made by a bullet,
through which can be seen all the pro-

Dear this in mind, reader, if ou are ac

Hot bread never digests at all. After a

Col. Forney's letter.
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

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

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

who would givo it heir worst of thoughts the

have occurred in the whole country.

of the tragedy was received at a late hour
last night. The Courier says :
"One of the most singular cases which
overcame under our observation, or in our
reading, occurred yesterday morning at
the penitentiary in this city.
"A'co.nvict named IJall, from Chicago,
who is now serving out a second terra,
forhied the idea of acquiring his liberty
in the following method. He watched
ins opportunity shortly alter brcaktast,
aud when no other guard was in the hall
surrounding the cells, except Mr. Crabb,
whom he knocked down aud stunned by
a severe plow on the head, then dragged

known, and promptly brought Col. Buck

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."

and nothing else, will allay inflammation aC
once, and make a certain cure.
Dalleis Magical Pain Extractor
will cure the Jul lowing among a catalogue of
diseases; burns, scaid, cuts, chafes, sore nip
ples, corns, bunions, tlrains, biles, poison,
chilblains, biles, ecrotula, ulcers, fever sores,
felons, ear ache, piles, sore eyes, gout, swel
Inigs, rheumatism, scald head, sail rheutu,.
baldness, erysipelas, ringworm, barbers hc&v
small pox, measles, rash, &c, &c.
To some it may seem incredulous that so
many diseosesshoulil be reached by one arti
cle; such an idea will vanish when reflection
points to the fact, that the salve is a combina
tion of ingredients, each and every one ap
plying a perfect antidote to its opposite dis
order. Dalleis Magical Pain Extractor
In its effects is magical, because the time: is
so short between disease and a permanent
cure; and it is an extractor, as it draws all
disease out of the a ifecled part, leaving nur
ture as perfect as before the injury. .It, .is
scarcely necessary to say that no house, work
shop, or manulactury should be one moment
without it.
No Pain Extractor is genuine unless the
box has upon it a sleel plate engraving, with,
the name of Henry Dalley, Manufaclnrer,. y.
For sale by all the Druggists and patent
medicine dealers throughout the United
States and Canadas.
