MR FoRREsT.-Tais mnent tragedian, whose
private affairs have been theme of public scandal
for the past two years, appeared on the boards Of
the Broadway Theatre, n York, on the 18th ult.,
in Damon and Pythias. He was greeted by a
large audience among which there were, il is said.
but few ladies, and, at the close of the perform
ance, was called before the curtain and made a
characteristic speech-that is to say, in the worst
imaginable taste. 1t is somewhat astonishing that
man who so faithfully portrays the noblest of
human characters in the practice Of his art,
should, in his daily conduct, be guilty of SO much
that is not only vulgar, but indecent. We would
suppose his daily studies would necessarily have
elevated him far above the weaknesses. to call
them by no harsher name, of which he has so of
ten, of late convicted himself

Gen. Quitman said in one of his recently pub

Sin their extremity We think, that, in back

his canvass for Governor and leaving his fellow
disunionists without candidate, he Is certainly
deserving his friends sin their extremity, PRAY
what opportunity will those friends have of ex-
hibiting their tremendous strength in the Novem-
ber elections if they have candidate to vote for
We think we can mention another instance in
which Gen. Quitman shows a very unequivocal
disposition to desert his friends ''in .heir ex-
tremitv." Some time ago he took very active
pat in getting mp Cuba expedition. bnt we do
not think that he is at all inclined to join any
such expedition now although his brother 'sill-
busters" are unquestionah!v in an extremity. If
another expedition shall get off for Cuba, we
sincerely hope he will be at the head of it. We
apprehend, however. that although he is decpled-
ly and even furiouslv disunion man. he will be
too much opposed to the disunion Of his own
head and BODY TO consent 10 take part in any
such movement-TLon. Jour.

oeen guilty OF permitting calamity he could ca
shy nave averted! The facts are al, the other
way and all such writers know it. But a lie is
small matter with our patent democracy.
Ihe last charge, of alliance with abolition in.
st'gators OF murder, is equally base and equally
groand'ess. The democracy have the honor Of
being the only party that ever formed an alliance
and coalition with abolitionists. Witness their
conduct in Massachusetts,, in Ohio, IN Vermont,
and IN New York. But we have proved this so
often to the satisfaction of the public that we
will pass it over for the present. The President
and Gov. Johnston have both shown how close
their alliance is with the guilty in Lancaster
county, Pennsylvania, by their prompt instrnc-
tons to the State and Federal officers to prose-
ecute to conviction, with the utmost energy. all
VINO We're concerned in the late disturbance at
Chrlstlana. Ii this is an alliance with ablition-
ism, we are unable to perceive it, If the admin
stration can do more, we have no doubt il
will be greatly obliged to the Gazette to point it
out.
We will add one word as to the'absense Of the
President from Washington. On three occasions
since nc has held the Office he has for week or
two at time, been away from the Capital. Last
spring he was invited to attend the celebration OF
the New York and Erie Railroad. Congress was
not in session and he, as well as very large
number of other public men, democrats as well
as wings, attended it. He would have neglected
his duty had he not done so, unless some more
important affair interfered. During the summer
he went to the Virginia Springs, short time for
the re-estahlshment of his health, and more re-
Gently, he went to Boston, on another public oc-
cas:on, upon the invitation from the authorities
of that city. We believe he was about four DAYS
from Washington. Now if the Gazette will
show that anything would have been different had
he remained. we will admit the President did
wrong. IL 1t cannot do this, it must be stamped
as deliberate and wfnl calulnnation.

With all the respect possible we beg leave to

the conduct of the County Judge in not ordering

pie of the county had cast their votes, but it has
not told us ,chy Mr. Webber was selected This
is matter upon which we should Ike to hear
from the Gazette 1t would afford us pleasure
to know what version it will give us of this neu

what we have SAID upon the issue it now gives up
