THE CONTROVERSIES IN DANGER LETTER OF
MR. FORSYTH

The Southern Press publishes letter to Its
senior editor, from John Forsyth, of the Co
Iumbid (Ga.) Times State Rights Democratic
paper. Mr.. Forsyth is the son of the gentleman
of that name, who was u member of the Van
Buren, Cabinet and he was lately leader OF
the Secession party in the South.
He informs the public that he visited Wash
ington recently as peace-maker; that he
wished to reunite the Secessionists with the
National Democratic party; that with a view
to this he sought the union of the Press with
the Washington Union, "not on the basis OF
acquiescence in or reputation of the Compro-
mise but on the basis of common sense view
Of the fact, that the Compromise legislation
was thing passed, settled and dOne-a thing
about which the Democrats had dsagreed-a
thing in which they never could agree-a
thing in which it was not necessary they should
agree-a thing, in short, to be ignored and
thrown overheard, as IL Jonah whose presence
had already sufficiently disturbed the peace
and perilled the safety of the Democratic
party :" that, failing in this, his next effort
was to induce the two papers to adopt his ideas
about the Compromise agree to a divided Or
ganship, division of the public patronage
and to a support Of the Baltimore nomination.
it being understood that the Baltimore Con-
the Compromise that Mr.. Fisher consented
to this plan, rcservng, however the right to
withdraw from the Press, should the proceed
ings of the Convention not be agreeable to
him. while Major Donelson, having at first
entertained the proposition, grew diplomatic,
talked in circles seemed to be willing but
afraid to take hold; that every Democrat he
counselled on the subject in Washington ap-
proved his plan, but nobody had the courage,
the energy, and the will, to take the lead in its
accomplishment that at last, disguised with
his Office as peace-maker, he left Washington,
fully persuaded that the Compromise Unionists
Democracy are bent on agitating 9 the bubble
of the fnahty' for their own particular bene-
fit, making it p0ns dstnorum' by which
" the Cobbs and Foote's are to walk safely back
Democracy
Mr.. Forsyth proceeds to say, that if the Ma
tional Convention wish TO secure the union of
the Democracy Of the South it must have
nothing to do with Compromise or fnality
tests.
This letter must be very refreshing to Gen
eral Cass and the Compromise candidates
generally The plant gentlemen from the
North who have been so zealously rallying the
Democracy of their section on the ground of
the Compromise, are rather taken aback by
this Forsyth demonstration. Can it be- that
after all their anxiety to please the savehold-
ers, they have committed blunder! The
bare suspicion is fearful We advise them to
moderate their zeal-not to run before they
are sent. Let them wait till they know who
are their masters, and what are their orders
else they may go on FOOLS errand. and re-
ceive FOOLS reward for their pains

The Cincinnati Atlas of the 18th
inst, (Scott paper,) reports General
SCOTS speech at Carrolton, KY,
thus:
"My countrymen-I have for the
first time in my life, been caught " 18th
my breeches down. (Cheers.) Fa-
tigued with the exertions of the day,
and supposing that in the quietness
of the night | should not be cal led
upon by my countrymen, had un-
dressed and retired to my bed. |

news that the people of Carrolton de-
sired to see and hear an old soldier.
tremendous cheering) To rise at
any hour is no hardship to me, but
really, l think my appearance before
you, in gown and slippers, not very
becoming. daughter and cheers
ALLOW me to thank you for your XII nd
ness, and to assure you that nothing
can be more gratifying to the feelings
of an old soldier than such hearty
greeting as you have exhibited to-
wards me tonight May God bless
you"
The General then proceeded on to
Warsaw, Ky, but IL e reporter of the
Atlas does not inform US how about
his dress, when he used the following
language:
Il observe upon the brow of the
hill, mass of our fair country wo-
men, and am DESTROYS of sending
my love to them; "a yoice-'They
shall have it, Genera, - as | am too
old TO excite the jealous y of any hus-
band, daughter and cheers and have
arrived at that good old age when l
can love the ladies without giving
offence to any one" JCheering.)
After which the boat proceeded to
Rising Sun, Ia, when the General
lets loose THUS:
Il chance to day to be somewhat
indisposed,I have been drinking lime
stone water, which has somewhat dis
organized my system, and thrown me
into little fever. With little pru-
dence to-day, | shall be recovered to-
morrow. l have, however r, been made
almost well by our hearty welcome
and happy cheers" (Cheering)

The e ECTIoNs.-Perhaps we may
be able to give upon our next page
extensive returns from INDIANA,

writing t bis brief article, we can form
only vague opinions as to the demo-

We a Re certainly disappointed in
the news that has thus reached US
from the States in question. We
thought and predicted that they
would all go for the. democrats in the

a strong probability that the demo

if our md st unfayorable apprehen-

Bread and Butter.

MIR. Jordan was a bachelor, on
the shady side OF forty, and conse-
\ uen1y was subject to theAtender
nercies Of boarding hou se-keepers.
Circumstances had kept MIR. Jor
dan all inmate of Mrs. Virgins
clearinghouse for a long time, and
Mrs. Virgins was a lady Of one
Iidea-namely. economy. Her ex-
Iperiments in economical philosophy
and philosophical economy were, for
the most part, brought to bear upon
tthe> stomachs oil her Hoarders, as
E'viltles' is the principal item of ex-
tpense in mediocre clearinghouse.
MIR. Jordan had been startled by
some of the aforesaid experiments,
but he had borne with 1atiehce the
lpresent and certain evil, rather than
fly 20 others that We know not Qf,
until one day, when Huttef was
scare and high, Mrs. Virgins hit
upon tile economical plan OF spread
ing with her own econor nical hands

bread she d6led out to her boa rders,
excusihg herself for this ihterfe>
renee in their affairs by stating, in
the bIandest manner, that she as
sumed that task, cheerful to save
them trouble!
Mr.. Jordan came b pine TO tea
rather late upon the first ever ing of
this new dodge, sat do,Y n If pres
ence Of all the other DO ardeIs, and
received slice from Mrs. Virgins,
who had gone through the cGemo-
ny of bultering it befor e his eyes.
Mr.. jordan eyed the bread inqulsi-
| lively, and began to turn it from
side tot side, and scrutinize it closely
through his spectacles.
1--WE bat is the matter with your
bread and butter:?" dem nded Mrs.
Wiggihs.
"N5thing- othing--no-thing,"
replied Mr.. Jordan, still turning the
piece over, and persisting in his
scrutiny.
"I'm positive, Mr.. Jordan, that

Mr.. Jordan laid down the slice
upon his plate, raised his spectacles
to his forehead, and replied with
great deliberation-
HNIrs, Virgins, there's nothing
the matter with tie bread, | assure
you. Bnt, Mrs. Virgins" and

PADDY's ExPEDIENT.-An Irish

His employer detected in the cloth
two holes within half an inch OF
