JOHN IT. FrrltNET
la at this time the beat abused man in the
UVitet! 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. • ' %

FROM jPHILAOKLPtt! 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. Meanwhile the
-stocks of tbe Reading Road i* poor rale, and

These are facts with relaljon Io Mr. Pol

ausceplible of thamost abundant and coo'
vincirig proof. The time, the place, (be cir

sion of Mr. Pollock are all known in this

and as a member at their order, in tell com

trol led hf the oath of a secret society, prescrip
tive in jts character, and based upon the
baldest and most ultra dootrine of religiose
persecution. Mr. Pollock is sworn to de
prive one portion of our fellow citizens of
their equality of rights beoau*o they do nol
worship God in the same manner that he
does; another, because they were not bom
upon the soil of (his country; and etill an
other, because their fathers were not native
to the county, erifney have been believers in
a particular religious falh. This new doe
trine to be preached on tbe soil of eld Penn

citiceiu by moans of a sworn secret society.
How will the honest yeomaory of (he into*

benefits of oik{L and religious liberty 1 The
i4 the Inquisi
torial institutions of other eountriee, am
justly rcprobmietl by all lowers of the rights
of coofoienct; but how do they differ in
prncticsl coosequencos from the order of
Know-Nmbinge. To be sure, they deprived
a man of life as well as liberty. That was
a feature of (he same barbarous age in
which the organization existed. Tbe same
spirit that leads a man to take an oath' to
proscribe another on account of his reli
gions faith, will induce birr, te bum him at

Dear Sir, you may, no doubt, ba surprised

dreadfully ulcerated tag to be cured, and I
have another cose in hand, which has been
bad for twenty-four years, and fiom former
experience 1 expect tbat it wilt be. healed al
so.

"Titers is no sortow for the entftesrsbuf,
That looketh up to God in perfect faith."
Of this Volume the New York Express speaks
<f jbttsmrr
"So far as the literary merits of the work
1 are concerned, no better guarantee than the
name of the gifted authoress could be requi
red,—yet, we vent ure to say, that nothm •
aire has hitherto wriiten, contributes, or will
contribute, more substantially to her fame
than the production to which we refer. Tire
subject chosen is one which has nevdr yet
had lull justice done it, ill an American nov
el. Tire plot is full of interest, poilrsying
and bringing in thrilling Contrast the two e.t
tlemss of city life."
The following Comments art from the N. York •
Mirror.
"The story is based on faeta and ini.ten's
in real life , and the progress of the plot la
worked out with the most thrilling dr.imutui
effect. It is not necessary to speak of iirJ.
Stephens' powers as a writer, ns she is
knnwn, both a al home and abroad, as one
of the ablest female" writers in America.
We predict a sensation in the reading world
on the appearance ol 'Fashion and Fam

preparing to is*ue editions by lens of thou
