States; and as a public journalist ws feet it a duty to rebuke tGe 'malignity and bitlemese with which it is attempted to hound him down. He ia assailed simply because he has won his way to an Unviable position and is in the way of reckless and unprincipled conspirators. Men, to whose bold, bid plots, backed by wealth and im pudence, almo i every thing ha* given way, ere snraged b'*;*luse a poor Lancaster coun ty printer dares stand at the door of the Pres ident and point to dishonesty. He haa the impulsive tempernmant and manliness (j spfeak freely and men who fear their past hietory have good cause to poison bis intimate friendship with the President. He has proved his consistent devotion to his po litical faith, and those who have been faith less may well fear und hate him. Their en vy is natural, and we have eveiy reason to believe that both Mr. Forney and the Pres ident appreciates it. Mr. Forney, tika President Pierce, i* a. man who owes to hi* character sll hi* pre*- - ent position in life. Hd has not made wealth his aim ; and if he has a fault it is impul sive generosity bordering on prodigality. He has not despoiled the State by fact contract*, nor has he used the power of banks to cor rupt the political sentiment of the people. He nevgr betrayed or dishonored the ptinoiples and organization of his parly, but has always done justice to the confidence and trust it gave him. Like other men he may have hia faults; but the envy that cennot bear to aea a poor printer by intelligence and energy of char acter gain such a position in life as to be come the confidential friend of the Presi dent, ia unworthy to be called a fault. A prominent political man mtiet expect to have enemies, and a prospering man to excite the jealousy of those less lucky or honest than bo- Peisecotion is the penalty which power and influence in a republic mast ov erpay to those who fall bebind in tha race of life; and there are more Whose tfnregu 'laled nature or diwftpolhtmeut gratifies it self hy exciting envy and mischief, than by inspiring more elevated and ennobling feel ings. • ' % Jefipieen was reviled a* an infidel be muse he was a Democrat j and Jackson'* asaailsnts spared not the sanctity of hi* household hearth, because be was incorup tible.

A. t pHtutpxlPirn, July 29th.; It is Mid of a trttflfc (Sat 4n no city in the world fa the uAmieip4<j||x so high as itv Phil adelphia. Such Mayors at Wharton, Jones ecd Gilpin sustained tbe dignity of the oily with y salary of #3,000, while in thepe pro gressive days it is raised to #B,OOO. The police force row numbers 820 men, exclu sive cf those under the Marshal; so that ta king the whole array it will make e foroe nearly equal to tbe regular army ofl the Uni py r Tfjfl._Jgl.ilii rqyii'cipal y l^e City, Cour.ty and Districts under the old sys tem were #435,761 60, while under the con solidated government of the Know-Nothings they are to be raised to nearly #7OO,O(Hf, when the total expense should be much Ipse tbau before. The public contemplated a re duction of the number and salaries of offi cers, and if any suck conduct as we now witness had been foreseen, consolidation would never have taken plaop. The Mayor's temperance, dodge has caved in nicely. The SupiemerCdurt has decided, a* long ago did every sound lawyer, that a licensed landlord cannot be indicted for Bel ling liquor without a license under the stat ute prohibiting dlforderly fiooves, because he sells on Sunday. The Sunday law is plaic, but tbe act punishing the keeper of a disorderly honse who sell* liquor without li cense. contemplates qniie a different caae. The Mayor had bound over all tbe violators of tha Sunday law, for keeping a disorderly house and selling liquor t eilhout license, and under tbe late decision all these case* will be dismissed ; and the Mayor has *o man aged the card that the Temperance men get nothing by his motion. The cry about "foreigners in tbe publio offices" turns out to be as ridiculous as every other trick of a demagogue. Of! 62 ap pointees nnder the general government in this city ouly fifteen are natural ized citizens, and twelve of these ate only Inspec tors, Watchmen or laborers who receive 31 50 per day. Two are Inspectors, and the remaining one an Examiner at lire pay of #3 a day. Of these men one baa been in, the country 17 yeqra, one 21 years, two 23 years, one 24 years, fottr 27 years, one 28 years, two 29 years, one 30 years, one 31 years and one 32 year*. Neatly or quite all came to this country quite young, and have children —some of the grand children born here. Nobody but a demagogue would try to raise a tempest against 15 poo rlaborers and watch men. To raise a party against such a formi dable force is a little like dischatging a can non at a wren and missing the mark. But this ory against foreigners and Catho lios ia a game at which two can play, and the laborer* on the Hempfield Railroad late ly came to the conclusion that they could find as many chance* tu earn $i 12J per day by digging 12 hours erulee a hot suit, when the thermometer was sometimes 100 in the shade, as Mayor Courad could find chances to govern a city at fit), Ago a year- So they hung up tbe shovel and lip bee, atql issued their declaration of independence. , Conrkd resigned the Presidency of tbe Competty, and lire men went to their wotk agafit. There will be more such cases it men of an 310,000 yearly salary continue to "Know Nothing." In this country tbo laborer is a bout as independent a* tbe employer. The groat event of the week ia the failure or suspension of John Tucker the President of the Reading Railroad. No person knows to what extent this failure goes, for every thiog is rumor. But it ia said that his liabil ities amount to one million dollars. He has certainly a large amount of assets, and his present embarrassment arises more from tbe present unproductive character of some of his inveetmenls, than from any heavy losses. He ia largely interested ir. the Ca'tawissa Railtoad, and also in tbe Montour Iron Works, but report baa it that his public .(mats are not kneeled by his private ember raasmcnt*. It is to be hoped eo, for be tree been one of the money kings here, and ev ery business man io the city would regret to tee Johu Tucker's finances a total ship wreck. He financiered the Reading Rail road through many tight and crooked places, and every body agrees that no matt but he could have kept its bead above water in 18- 50. And yet that Road with its nett weekly receipt of 360,000 ought to pay its way. if any Road in the Union can. Every man iu this city wishes it well, and lam reloctant to ray anytbing which might be construed i into unkindnesi, but— there is a leak some inhere. | Friends of Mr- Tucker have tendered -him any amount of funds and credit to re-instate him in business, for a man like him is uot ruined unless he wills it.
