The PHILADELPHIA Statesman.

he has seen fit to transfer his printing to
another paper. This is both unkind and
ungrateful, for, as long as Mr.. Deal con-
tinued his printing with this paper, thele
was not whimper in it against him; but,
as it was disposed to villify his friends, he
most justly removes his patronage to an
other paper and for so doing is condemned
by the insignificant, unknown editor of
the Statesman"
But not content with attempting to in
jure the reputation of Mr.. Deal, and
and place him in dishonorable light be-
fore the public, he spits the venom of his
spleen upon JAMES BUCHANAN, JUDGE
CAMPBELL, and JOHN w. FoRNEY. This
editor dares not place in broad capitals
his name at the head of his paper and let
the multitude gaze at it with feelings of
scorn intermingled with pity, but like a
concealed enemy he fires without being
seen; he wages war from behind curtain,
which, if once lifted, would no doubt ex-
pose to the view alike of the praised and
slandered, fiend, who seeks by calumny
to raise himself to the glory of a prophet.
But this is not the course to be pursued
to win admiration or gain respect, and it
should be borne in mind that there is truth
in the saying, "evil be TO him who evil
thinks"
Since the campaign Of ls4s, we have
been the admirer and constant supporter
| of Gen. CAss, and we are of the belief
that he is the strongest man for the next
| Presidency. But, in forming our opinion
we were not in the least prejudiced against
tha, bright particular star of the Democ-
racy of this State, James Buchanan, a
pure patriot, and an enlightened statesman,
a man who towers above the puny editor
of the "Statesman," and all those concern
ed with il, as the monument on Bunker >
| Hill above the meanest creature that crawls
around it's base. The contemplate course
of that paper is an injury 10 the cause,
which it purports to advocate, and, if per-
sisted in, will lead to consequences inju-
rious to the Democracy of the State, and
will, with its fall, drag down to the lowest
depths of degradation all those in any
manner connected with it. Why canno,
lit pursue an honorable course towards
those members of the party with whom
it differs, as is the case with all the Dem
ocratic journals that favor the nomination
of James Buchanan! He should recolleci
that,
ISLANDER meets no regard from noble minds;
Only the base believe, what The base only utt er
Of Hon. James Campbell we would
say 10 the "Statesman," he is man who
enjoys reputation throughout our Com
monwealth that is so lustrous and so firm
ly seated in the breasts Of the Democracy,
that it would require the attacks of so un-
worthy a journal to be directed against il
for ages, ere the lustre of that name could
be tarnished, or the affections of the peo-
pie weaned from him. By his own per-
severance and diligent study, he has ele-
waited himself from poor, friendless boy,
/ to be Judge, "learned in the law" and
the respect due TO his exertions is not con-
| fined to his native home, but, even here,
to our own mountains has il extended
and when vipers assail his path there will
be found willing friends to help destroy
them.
Col. Forney, of the "Pennsylvanian,'
withstands the attacks of the Statesman
as the firmly planted rock de6es the LASH
ing of the waves. He returns the charges
directed against him with ten fold ven-
I geance on their own heads, and how graf
lifying to him it must be that he does it all
himself, without fear favor or Disguise
Fully aware that he deals with dish on
orable foe, one who is ashamed to show
his hands, the difficulty of his position is
easily recognized. Go on, Forney, firmly
in defence of your rights; the true Democ-
racy are with you in your efforts to pre-
serve inViolate the principles of the party
You have done the State good service
and take this motto as your guide, "Never
Surrender"
Let the Statesman" go ahead in its
blasphemous course, let it do everything
IT can TO disorganize the party, let it pur-
