AUDITOR GENERAL, RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT, OF rniI.APEI.PUIA. SURVEYOR GENERAL, JOHN HOWE. OT FRAKKl.fN -COUNTY. rorneys Convention. None of our readers, we are sure, have forgot ten the presidential campaign of 1S5G. It was, perhaps, the most exciting political contest which ever occurred in this country eince the adoption of the 'Constitution. The Democracy were for the first time called upon to battle agains: a powerful and thoroughly organized sectional party. All true patriots felt that it was a crisis in the history of our country, and they met it with a promptness and euergy which saved the ITrm-m Tlip pWtirm of Mr. Buchanan restored trannuilitv 4o the country, and the disciples cf I l w - sectionalism alirost abandoned in despair the hope of ever regaining their former power and influence. Lie entered on the discharge of his duties as Chief Magistrate of the Republic, with the firm determination to fearlessly discharge his duties as a National man, and not as the friend vT patron of an section of the Union. And this determination, this resolution, he has faithfully and rigidly caniecTout in the administration of tho government up to the present time. It may be asked, if this be the case why has his adminis tration encountered such fierce and uncerrsproini bing opposition from a portion of the Democratic party ? AVe think this can be very easily ex plaiued. The moment it was reduced to a cer tainty that Mr. Buchanan was elected President, he was instantly beset by a swarm of office seekers from every section cf .the Union. They were all clamorous for a share of the spoils, and urgod their claims with a pertinacity which showed that they were determined not to be turned hungry nJ empty away. Of course Mr. Buchanan had not a sufficient number of offices for even the meritorious applicants who daily beset him. A large majority of the applicants faikd iu obtaining the positions to which they aspired, and among them was John W. Foru' Foiled in his efforts to obtain a iU in the Uni ted States Senate. was instantly seized with tne ciesire to occupy a place iu the Cabinet of the President. But Mr. Euchanan did not see proper to favor his aspirations ; and from the very mo ment he was refused, he became a bitter and uncompromising enemy of ihe 2sationl Admin istration, aud the storm instantly commenced gathering which burst upon the conntry at the time the President recommended the Let ompton . Constitution to the favorable consideration of Congress. Mr. Forney was sustained in his trea sonable course by the horde of disappointed office seekers, who despised the Democratic party and Mr. Buchanan because they could not succeed in obtaining a share cf the spoils. If Mr. Forney and his followers had not been disappointed in their efibrtj to obtain appointments, tbe imme diate admission of Kansas would have been urged by them, and Mr. Buchanan proclaimed to be thejmrest patriot of the age. But they did not succeed in obtaining the appointments the' de sired, and they instantly became bitter and un compromising enemies not only of Mr. Buchanan but of the Democratic party also. There can be no doubt, that by their soplustry and false reas oning, they have succeeded in inducing many sincere Democrats to become their followers for the time being, but they will not succeed in lead ing them over to the ranks of the enemy during the political campaign whicn has just opened. We have more than oncj taken occasion to refer io tlc treacherous aud treasonable course pursued by John W. Forney and his followers in this htate last year, especially during the campaign last fall. Wc sincerely rejoice that they have at length thrown off the mask,and placed themselves in position in which the most obtuse cannot mistake them for tho friends of the Democratic party. Mr. Forney and his staff, as we stated last week, have issued a call fur a Convention to . assembU at Harrisburg next W-ednesdar, for the purpose of denouncing the action of the 1 rte Dem ocratic State Convcntiop. The movement is, of course, for the purpose of disorganiztng the Dem ocratic party, aud securing the fulfilment of the prcphecy of Mr. Collins that the Black Kepub lican ticket will be clecte d next fall by a ma- jonty of fatty thousand. All the B'.aek republican papers in the State heartily endorse tho "call" of Mr. Forney and Ins friends a strong proof that they duly appre ciate the aid and assistance they are giving the rotten and sinking cause of Sectionalism. The Philadelphia Inquirer, Bulletin, and Xorlh Ainer ican, Harrisburg Telegraph, Hollidaysburg Reg iit-r, aud M htg, I -t rone star, Clearfield Softs- ican, jjeuioru inquirer, Johnstown Tribune Lewistown GauUe, Pittsburg Journal, and Di . patcli, in short ailjhe Black Republican newspa-' pcrs in the State, denounce in ths strongest terms the course pursued by the Democratic State Convention on the lCth ult., and commend tL spirit and independence of John V. Forney & Co. iu calling another Convention. They are all ia favor of it, ami express the hope that it will be extensively attended. A portion of their hope will doubtless be fulfilled -the Convention will be extensively attended-by all varieties of politi- characters in Pennsylvania, 'except sincere Democrats. We think the delegation frem little Cambria to Mr. Fornej-'s Cnnveution will be email. The "call," it is true, is signed by Thomas Collins, the leader of a clique of demagogues in this county, who have been, up to the present time, perfectly obedient in obeying and carrying out his orders ; but even they feel that he has gone too far, and acknowledge that he rendered him self ridiculous -by the course he pursued in the State Convention. -After having declared that it is his belief that the Democratic party will be defeated next 'fall by a majority of fifty thousand. what right has he to thrust himself forward as a man worthy to maintain and re assert the prin- c;pcs 0f Democracy ? If he did not recognize the ambers of the State Convention as the regularly o j i - puiutc - u uurguica 01 iuc xtuioti alio p.ui,), :t.i r ,i. i- . authorized to act and speak for their constituents, why did he act with them and participate in their proceeding ? If the resolution endorsing the State )0ijcv cf Governor Packer had been adopted, and John W. Forney had said "acl kjciit,"" would not Mr. Collins and his friends at once have an- nou need their determination to extend a willing and enthusiastic support to the Democratic State ticket i Mr. Collins voted in favor of the resolu- tions adopted by the Convention ; he voted in favor of making the nomination of Wright and Howe unanimous ; and yet, merely because Gov-. Packer "Was "not sustained, he is willing to assist in disorganizing the Democratic party in the Keystone State, and prophecies that the ticket which he assisted in nominating will be defeat ed by a majoriiy of fiftj' thousand votes. The Democratic part v is an organization of fixed "principles, and it can be only preserved from destruction by its members strictly adhering to those principles. It cannot join hands with its opponents, because its principles are directly the opposite of those of all other political parties in the country. If Mr. Collins -is -no longer wil ling to sustain Democratic men and measures, he should at once become a Black Republican. The Dralic s not recognize l.alf-mj men as its members, and tins is a matter which is now understood. The time is past wheu men while professing to be Democrats, can sell the party lor a price. All who are not for us are against 'is, aud of course the men who give aid anJ COInfort to tIlC Black publicans are the enemies of our party and its principles. C- The Editor of the Hollidaysburg -Standard, after acknowledging that we were right in pre- dieting that Mr. Collins would misrepresent the Democracy of this Senatorial district in the State Convention, proceeds to ask us a few questions, ot which we cancel exactly see the "point." Ul course, Mr. Collins faith fudy represented Lis constituents in voting for the resolutions adopted by the Convention, but we do n-t think lie wo'd have done so if he had known at that time that the Tacker resolution would be defeated. Our Ilullidaysburg friend then makes some allusions t, WnJiinaMn ..-ri . : jt:n i f p.. ii . . , . . strong prooi u,at ne would HKe to U! very severe if he knew how. We never professed to be the champion of the Democracy of Washiagton township. We know they are men who are ca pable of defeudir themselves. A large majority of tlicm are friends of the Xational Administra tion, and ibey are not :iow,aud never have been. fraid to take a bold and decided stand in its defence. Mr. Traugh enjoys the sacred privilege of carrying the mail baas from the Hollidaysburg station to the post office, for which he receives the nice little sum of throe hundred dollars. 'retty goKl pay we think for h's "milk and water" defence of the President. He showed how sincere he was in his support of the Xational admiuistratiou, wheu he applauded the appoint ment of Mr. Collins, the most ultra au-ti-Lecomp- tonite in the district as Senatorial delegate lo the State Convention. Will our friend pardon us for asking him a question 1 Are you not angry be cause Packer was not sustained ? Come now, et us have an honest and sincere answer.

This call is signed by fifty nine names, about one-half of which belong to gentlemen residing m this city, and the remainder are distributed in Reading, Pitts burg, Harrisburg, aud other towns through out the State. Every one of these gentlemen, is ho -are now -so anxious to save the purity or the democratic party, was, directly or indi rectly, a hopeful candidate for office under the present National Administration-, and every one o"f them was 'disappointed. Four of this -bimd of patriots are connect ed with the newspaper in which the call appears; as editors, reporters, or correspond ents, and of course thdir bread and butter depends upon the success of the establish ment, which can only be secured by keeping up a factious contest with the Democratic party. Another wis Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Rep resentatives in 1858, and as such was a leader in the trausfer of the State canals to the Sunbury ane Erie Railroad Company. Another is a contractor on that Railroad, and was principle wirepuller in the House to secure the transfer. Another was elected to Congress in opposition to the regular Demo cratic nominee. Another ran as disorgan izing candidate for Congress to aid the defeat of a radical and reliable Democrat, while three or four others aided and abetted him in his treachery. Two others were leaders in the disorganizing movement which resulted in the defeat of the Democratic party in Berks. Another edits a newpapor in Schyl kill, which led in the movement that termin ated in the overthrow of tho Democratic party in that county, and the defeat of the Demecratic caudidate for Congress in the District. Two more arc officers of banks, more or less interested in the Surrbury scheme, and one of which is asking for ex tended privilege from the preseut Legislature aud Executive.
