A Model Candidate.

The Philadelphia Sun informs US that Col.
John W. Forney, late editor of the PennSyiva-
nian, is about TO be nominated by his friends
for the Presidency. We suggest Col. Wallace
OF the Sun. as suitable candidate for VICE
IN. Y. Star.
With all humility We accept, and lay down
our platform:
l. No Taxation!
9 No Duties on Imports!
3. Congress to raise all the money!
4. We the People of our Party to spend IT!
&. No more Compromises, for there can be
no such thing as splitting the difference be-
tween right and wrong.
&. A Fastening of the Good Time Coming.
7. Free Postage for the Pennsylvania and
the Philadelphia Sun all other papers 10 be
excluded from the mails as useless.
s. The Best Offices for our best friends-we
TO have SO per cent of their salaries.
9. The annexation of Iceland during sum-
mer. and all about the Equator in winter.
10. Roas, beef and Ten Dollars day.
IL. Free Trade to and from Africa.
l2. Down with white Slavery.
l3. A fair Division of the property Of the
United States among the faithful Of our Party.
With these planks of our platform we can
carry the thirteen original States, and then
pledge ourselves TO build all the railroads, ca
mails, turnpikes, and bridges, the new ones
want. We are now in The field, and shall an
swer no letters unless they are post paid. and
contain remuneraiing enclosures.
n. B-We shall continue our old business
Of editing the Sun. We SHALL NOT RESIGN,
despite of denunciations here or elsewhere
We never eat our soup hastily, remembering
the man Of Norwich,
Who burned his mouth eating cold porrich."
We never tainted in our life; never lost a
tattle, or gained one, therefore must be equal
ly acceptable 10 the friends of war and peace;
we have given pennies innumerable to little
boys to buy sticks of candies; we are for reli-
gious and all kinds Of liberty; are in favor of
the Constitution, and a law-abiding citizen /;
never challenged De WIrr CLINTON, nor refu-
sed TO fight Gen. Jackson have been Dem
ocrat, and have voted with the Wings, and now
go for Americansm; were born in a free State,
and married in a slave State; have been en-
gagged at Lundy's Lane, New Orleans, York
town. and Trenton, where we did good service
in the commissary department; have reached
the age Of discretion believe in the federalism
of WASHINGTON. and the democracy of JErrER.
SON gave our first political vote for old Hick.
ory, and our last for ourself at delegate elec.
ton have never been defeated before the peo-
pie; have never been guilty of any felony !;
have thus far escaped the penitentiary, and
never having been up for Office before, have
enjoyed an irreproachabie character. Upon
this assertion, however, we take no credit, as
no man knows what consummate rascal he
has been, until his public services and virtues
induce any portion of his fellow citizens to
honor him with an important nomination. We
are beginning to turn grey, are over six feet
high, and can write while persons are conver-
sing about us-an invaluable faculty for the
presiding officer of the United States Senate.
We are poor and want a good salary; Col.
FonSEr may be short-lived. and we NAV acci.
dentally succeed him in the White House
and finally, We hold that no man has right
to seek or refuse an honor such as the New
York Star has conferred on US. and as we have
given many first-rafe notices." we shall ex-
pect the compliment to be returned.-[ Philad.
Sun.
