As stated in my previous letter, we bade

with tho Central Railroad at Sunbury, form

afternoon, and though euchauted with nature's
panoramic view, as spread out before as at

summer, worth a trip from Baltimore to Sun

I OL. FORNEY'S SPEECH.
Id another column we publish an extract
from a speech delivered by Col. J. W. For
ney, at Tarrytown, New York, at a mass
meeting of tho friends of John B. llatkin,
who is op before the people of that district
for re-nomination for Congress. Mr. Has
kins is an Bble man and wbr a warm friend of
Mr. Buchanan, but could not be bought over
to vote for Lecompton. The result is, that
the administration of Mr. Buchanan is using
every means to defeat his election. The
Washington Union and the Tennsylvanian
denounce as traitors, all who did not vole
as Mr. Buchanan requested them to do, un
der the penalty of bis displeasure. And yet
this surrender of the consciences of tho repre
sentatives of the people, in blind obedience to
the will of ono man, is impudently called Dom
ocracy. This is not at all events, the democra
cy that was inculcated ia the days of Jefferson,
when it was supposed the people had some
thing to ssy in tbo affairs of the government.
The speech of Col. Forney discloscssorae facts
that are curious and entertaining in the his
tory of the Kansas imbroglio. It shows that
Mr. Buchanan had suddenly, and it must be
admitted, most nnwisely.changed his viows
in regard to popular sovereignty and the
Kansas question. Col. Forney's intimacy
and personal relations with Mr. Buchanan,
enables him to speak by the card on this
subject. It is certainly a strange piece of po
litical history and more curious than credita
ble to the administration.

CAMP Bl lUE!IA!nA.
On Monday afternoon we took the 4 o'clock
train on a hasty visit to Williamsport, to wit
ness, among other things, the military encamp
ment. The encampment is located about two
miles above town. There are aboot eight
aurrdred tents erecttd, on rising groaad; the
parade ground being en the level, ia front.
A battery of six field pieces it in front of the
tents, among them a brass eighteen pounder,
captured from the Mexican!. There were
en Tuesday noon from 12 to 15 companies,
and some more were expected. The ar
rangements, to onr ioexperieuced military
eye, were well adapted to the purpose in
tended, especially as the absence of those
dangerous missiles, known at bullets, made
one feel more comfortable. The September
rays of the sun were rather ardent during
mid day. The tents, with their straw, looked
as if they might be comfortable enough in
pleasant weather, but we would much prefer
other quarters, under the effects of a North
er, or during the rainy scaBon. The head
quarter! of the commander, Major General
Juckman, was comfortable of course, as the
General is always prepared and knows how
to make bis friends so, whether at borne or
in bis tent. The headquarters of Adjutant
General Wilson was adjoining, and the Gen
eral greeted, very cordially, his military at
well as unmilitary friends.
This was the first time we ever trod the
"tented field." We saw no fighting, sham
or real, but the sceno enabled us to form
some idea of tho appearance of a military
camp. These encampments are inteodod,
and we believe, called, "camps of instruction,"
thongb we could not but think they were
suggestive of the "pursuit of knowledge un.ler
difficulties." Our Williatncport friends had
expected a much larger attendance of the
military.
WILL1A.MSP0IIT AND THIS 81'ISBl'tti AND
ERIE' RAILROAD.
Our friends of the Lycoming Gazette speak
iog of the improvements at Williamsport re
mark that in 1850 they had no outlot by rail
road "Now she has three the Williamsport
"and Elmira road leading to the north the
"Cattawissa and Erie leading to the east, and
"the Northern Central, leading to the south.
"The Sunbury and Erie leading direct to the
"great Lakes, will also be in operation in a
"ehort time.
Persons looking on the map, and reading
tho above, would find themselves somewhat
erplexed with this description in regard to
the two roads last mentioned. For instance.
tho Cattawissa & Erie roads terminates at
Milton, 28 miles south of Williamsport where
strikes the Suubury and Erie which accor-
ing to the Gazette, would seem to be, not
yet in operation. While the Northern Cen
tral terminates at Sunbury, 40 miles south of
.Villiamsport, connecting at Sunbury with
the Suubury and Erie, now in operation be-
ween Sunbury and Williamsport.
In this statement the Gazette ignores the
very existenco of tho Suubury and Erie road
south of Williamsport.
It may be said that those thing! are un
derstood about home, but this matter of cal
ling things by the wrong name, sometimes,
works great injustice. We met a gentleman
some months since in Philadelphia, who bad
traveled several times to Williamsport, by
railroad, but knew nothing of the Sunbury
and Erie road, cod was no littlo surprised
to find that the twenty-eight miles of excel
lent road, from Milton to Williamsport, over
which he had traveled, was not, as be sup
posed, the Cattawissa, Williamsport and Erie
roa 1 as that ad cajitandcm, na ne signified,
but the veritable Suubury and Erie, oo tho
reputation of whii bother roads were drawing
argcly.

o'clock the coul train of the Shamokin Valley
Road, as it reached the intersection of the
Sunbury and Erie, at this place, ran off the
twitch. The locomotive and tender turned
over, down a bank of ten feet, bottom up, and
lour louuud coal cars, piled upon each other
down each side of the bank. The accident
was caused by the negligence of the switch
tender, who bad up the signal that all was
right, while the twitch was open. The ob
structions were removed in time for the 11
o'clock train of the Northern Central. The
damage to the locomotive is not very great.

AX EXTRACT OF COL. FORNEl 't tPttlll.
Mr. Buchanan bad before Lim a futora
which Washington, if be had been living,
tnignt uave envied a Uture which, if be had
walked resolutely iu the Doth he had marknit
out-lbe path illuminated by bit resolutions t
pledges would have allowed him to go down
to the grave with the acclamation of the peo
ple. Posterity would have pointed to hit
administration as a model aud example to all
generations ; Pennsylvania would Uv
uo cause to have been ashamed of ber once
favorite too. No, my fellow-countrymen
but be did nut ttop here. At if for th. ,,.
pose or accumulating pledge upon pledge at
iffor thepurpote of piling op a pyramid or
iiuuuca uuuu iuii qoet.ion,wuat did he do

should get to eo to Kausat for iha numn..
of aettliug the vexed question which bad ren-
uereu iiantaa, wbat u bas been graphically
termea, -tne graveyard of Governor." He
sought no inferior wiao; be would not be
tempted to take au ordinary man. He selec
ted a gentleman, statesman, who had bea
preteuled by a large portion or the leading
anu prominent men ot mt ooutn lor a teat ia
bit Cabinet, who bad for yeart represented
bit btate m the councils ot the nation. Ut
selected Robert J. Walker. And when he
called upon M r. Walker, and asked him to
the Territory, Mr. Walker said to him,"Wby
Mr. Buchanan, that would finish me forever;
it ha! ruined every man who hat gone there t
it will tuin me. I have reached that time of
life when I cannot afford to risk all my pros
pects, and prpbably the psnce and happiness
of rny family." And le said further, al if
gifted with a knowledge of the future, I cat
not run the risk of being most probably be
trayed and deserted by the Administration
that appoints me." Mr. Buchanan said to
bim, "Mr. Walker if yon will go there, you
will settle this question in a few weoks. Ev
erything ia ready ; here are your Instructions.
I pledge you my word that everything yon
desire, you shall have. Mr. Walker, as if
inspired by a sublime suspicion, said, "Mr.
Buchanan, I will not go to Kansas until yon
you allow me to meet your Cabinet face to
face, and ascertain from that Cabinet in per
son whether they agree that I shall go there
and carry out the pledges of the campaign of
185G." Accordingly a meeting of the Cabi
net or Mr. Buchanan was called. At the
meeting every member of the Cabinet was
present. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Walker
were present Mr. Utichnnan in the chair.
Gov. Walker laid, "I bave desired this meet
ing because I bave determined not to go to
Kansas unless 1 have full instructions to
carry cut those pledges and those principles;
if there is any opposing voice, I will not go ;
I do not want to go ; it is by no moaul an
enviable position ; but if I have the permis
sion and consent of you, gentlemen, for tbit
1 bave asked, 1 will go." The Cabinet was
pollod ; but one member or the Cabinet ob
jected to the programme laid down by Gov.
Walker. 1 need not mention his name. Gov.
Walker said, "That settles the question,
gentlemen ; I do not wish to go ; a single
negative is sufficient, and I will retire from
the field." But tbey took that member of the
Cabinet Into an adjoining room, and there
they convinced bim that Gov. Walker was
right. Tbey returned and gavo Walker his
instructions. lie went to Kansas with his
instructions in bis pocket, and accompanied
by a man well known to the country, Mr.
Stanton, who went out with similar pledges.
Now, after this plain statement or the
Tacts, 1 will come down to my own part of
this campaign. My ambition to assist and
build up my good old State, to push forward
her great interests, and assist in tbo develop
ment of ber industry to do that which we
must all do, at least if we desiro succees
Tor the older you grow you should be stronger
at your own borne to build yourselves up in
your own counties and own States, and when
you do thut you will be respected aud strong
at the seal or Federal power. Therefore it
was that in the year 185" 1 started the news
paper which now hears my came at its mast
head. I did this for the purpose of advoca
ting Mr. Buchanan's policy throughout. 1
had abundant pledges ns to his course, but
before publishing thut paper I took care to
write to Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet, and to
himself, and told them on what ground I in
tended to stand on this question of Kansas.
They were so good as to send me sufficient
written testimony strengthening me in the
position I bad assumed. 1 went on with
Walker and Stanton, until the Oxford and
McGee frauds took place, when thore was a
burst oT execration throughout the country.
The whole Democratic press had argued
constantly the policy or tho Administration
np to that time; but when Gov. Walker re
jected those frauds, there was silence. A
pall full over the columns of The Washington
Union. Nothing was said upou tho subject
or the Oxford and McGee frauds, rso voice
was heard iu Washington agaiuU it ; but 1
supposed some malign influences for the mo
ment, had surrounded that journal ; that it
bad had an attack ot some peculiar insanity,
which has lately become chronic with it, and
I allowed it to pass by. But when the dark,
damning deed of Lecompton was perpetrated,
then I saw for the Grst time thut those gal
lant mon in the Territory, Walker aud Stan
ton, and those who acted with them, Lad
buen deserted. I saw that Democratic prin
ciples had been carried out by them, and we
were now culled upon to turn our backs upon
our pledges and betray our mauhood. Ap
plause. Gentlemen, there was something
too much or this ; and when the cup was
presented to my lips 1 refused it. Cheers.
Administrations may change, but 1 bad beeu
too fully committed on this subject to go
back to Pennsylvania and turn my back upon
pledges which I had both spoken and written
to thousands of men. 1 did nut for a moment
believe that the Administration bad conclu
ded to abandon the principles which bad pnt
them iuto power ; that they were resolved to
make their policy a test ; so when I went to
Washington and called upon my old friend, I
said to him, "Mr. Buchanan, for the first
timo in our lives wo are at variance ; I find
myself standing by one principle, having fol
lowed your lead, and you Lave deserted it."
"Well," said he, "can't you change too?
Laughter. II I can afford to change, why
can't ycu afford to change. Renewed laugh
ter If yoa aud Douglas and Walker will
unite in support of my policy, there will not
be a whimper of this thing; it will pass by
like a Summer breeze." 1 told bim that it
was very well with an Administration sur
rounded by office-holders and living all the
time in tho atmosphere of flattery, that was
followed by thousands of gentlemen who ex
pected place; that they could come to bim
and say, "You are right, Mr. Buchanan ; we
are down on our bellies s please to walk over
us please trample upon us and we win ne
happy and content, aud hope you will believe
your policy is right." ' But I tell you," said
1, "thut there is a still sinull voice in the
people that instinctively rejects frauds, aud
this ia not only a fraud but a dishouor. I do
not claim to be more honest thuo any other
man. 1 have done as all politicians have-
some things which may not square exactly
witn the rules or religion and right, auu
which, if I bave, I regret them j but this
thing will not do. Loud cheers. 1 have
reached the stature and yean or manhood,
and I cannot go back to Pennsylvania to eat
my own words and become the slave ot pow
er. Renewed cheers. I cannot. But then,
Air. uucnanan, you must tolerate mis ainur-
ence or opinion. Gen. Jackson tolerated
differences of opinion in bis friends. Col.
1 olU tolerated differences 01 opinion, and
you iliUered with bim In bit viewt on the

you are who ask nothing at your hoods

erated in the indulgence or an honest opin

to make my Kansas policy a test." "Well.
Sir, said 1, "I regret it ; but if yon make it a
test with your officers, we will make it a test
at the ballot-box." Loud cbeen.j Re

A Letter from B. B. and XL Thayer.
Bitfai.0, August 80, 1858.
Dkab Sir: We are in receipt of your fa
vor of the 10th inst , contents noticed, a pres
sure or other engagements, has prevented an
eorlier reply.
This wholo Pennsylvania Bank matter, has
proved a great source of annoyance to us, and
we deeply regret to see that your name, as
well as the names or Messrs. curtm & tin
ney, have been mixed np with it. Assuredly a
true exposition of the aiiair, would complete
ly exonerate ycu all. W'a propose to answer
briefly your letter, and therefore state that
neither of us. ever saw you, or communicated
with von. prior to tho organization of th
Shnmokiu Bank, and that neither or os, be
fore, or after the organization of said Bank,
aereed to compensate vou in money, or other
wise, on account of it. The tenderofthe office
of President to yonr Futher, was made by ns,
solely, for the purpose cr having a suitable
and proper person, or high character, to fill
such office, believing it to be for the perma
nent good of the Institution. Yonr father
having declined, we soggesbed your name for
the same reasons.
We would further state, that we are not
aware of any arrangement, whereby, you were
to receive ono tuousand dollars, or any otner
sum of money whatever, growing out of this
Shumokm Bank ollair, in any shape.
Robinson must have bnen misiniorned in
reeard to this whole matter, and we are well
satisfied that in your own locality, and in yonr
State generally, w here your are so well and
favorably known, that this statement as to the
Sbamukio Bank, in regard to yourself, and
others, will do you no barm, as we can, and
will, at any time, testily to yonr entire discon
nection with tbe whole of it.
Wishing you every success in the generul
affairs of life, end abundance of health and
prosperity. We remain, very truly,
Y ours etc.
