spirit OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intelligsncer doubts seriously the
propriety of comforting on the President
the extraordinary power of making war
at will, though, the editor AYERS, an
American Executive did that thing once
on time, involving us in long and
bloody contest with foreign nation. The
Intelligencer decidedly opposes the notion
of comforting this privilege upon Franklin
Pierce, by statute. These views of our
veteran neighbor are suggested by the
resolution of Mr.. Slidell, which we COM
ment on to-day, in another column.
The Union holds that the speech of
Senator Slidell places the British Gov
eminent in an humiliating attitude, and
calls attention to the speech in question
as fully explaining the most impor-
tant public question now before the
American public. The organ further
replies to the efforts of the New York
Tribune to get up panic, all about the
Gadsden treaty.
The Sentinel goes into ecstacies over
the remarkable supply Of first rate "pub-
lie men" now on hand in this country,
and rates the English Abolitionists for
meddling in the Nebraska question.

THE KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.

i
MEssRs. EDITORS News has reached us
that the man by whose hand the life of Prof
Butler was taken, has been acquitted, and the
bloody deed legally justified. This result
forces upon Us deep, solemn and painful re-
Election. What is the use of criminal laws?
Are they solely for the punishment Of men in
humble condition and negroes Has it come
to this, that Jaws cannot be enforced, and the
hand of justice can be stayed by the influence
of wealth and the aid of men in high position?
Why, if this state of things continues long in
the land, it need not be surprising if the usages
OF aboriginal barbarism be resorted to, and
every man have for his constant companion q
six barrel revolver; and when father, SON or
brother is wantonly slain. the life of the SLAYER
he promptly taken by some kinsman And |
am almost forced into the opinion, that this
Red Mans law, in the sight Of God and man,
has more the semblance of Justice than the
monstrous mockery, called Judicial proceed
ings too often exhibited in our country. Can
it be expected that men will long RELY upon
the protection of laws that can be crushed and
made void by the interposition of Governors.
ex-Attorney Generals, ex. Congressional mem
bers, and er:jnst Judges and Juries? No, it
will come to pass that law abiding men will
no moro be found they will be classed with old
fogies and fools-and will be ready, knowing
not the hour when the assassin cometh. Then
the high In rank and having many friends and
much money with which to corrupt mems
hearts, will deliberate and reflect upon the
consequences before they attempt bloody
deed like that which sent Butler to prema-
ture grave. -t1 20 -a7a. s-.. --,4,s =, /.

a MERITED TRIBUTE.

The Philadelphia Sun, of Saturday,
whose editor has always been political
opponent of Col. J. W. Forney, pays the
following merited tribute to that gentle
man:
While this g Gentleman seems to be pursuiD o
the even tenor of his way, and is making, as
everybody ackno Wedges; most unexception-
able officer, as Clerk Of the House of Repre-
>entauves, various nOnsenSical rumOrS of his
intended impeacAhent have been put in cir
culatlon.- as member of the editorial fra
'ternity, We feot pride in the position and
influence Of Col. Forney at Washington That
he is violent in his partisan prejudices no enc
denies, but that any charge can be Justly laid
against his private character, no one who
knows him will for n moment believe 1t is
strange to us that editors will SO Frequently
lend themselves to the abuse Of their brethren
who happen to secure Official favor from IA
President, or obtain his confidence. When
we look back on the past history of the Fed
eral capital, and remember the violent vitu.
peration directed SUCCESSFULLY against Duff
Green, Blair, John Jones, Gales, SeatoE.
Ritchie, and all others who have been regard
ed as opponents of 81 administration, we feel
convinced that feeling of jealousy, rather
than a sense of justice, has directed the attacks
upon them. Why should not editors obtain
the confidence anu respect of those who owe
their elevation to their exertions? WHY
should not the political warwiks of the press
- the settlers up aud pullers down of the
rival roses of party, secure their proper APP
probation? Who has labored more, aasidu-
onsly or successfully than John w Forney to
build up the Denoc .,ov, or who has written
more in defence of its principles And yet
all these exertions seem to be forgotten and
because the sun of executive favor now shines
upon him, he is subjected to the venomous:
attacks of all the less fortunate. We deprecate
this seIfishness, and having found Col Forney
in oil our intercourse with him, which has cI-
tended through many years, as true to his
friendships, and as warm hearted in his per
sonal attachments, as to the principles of his
party, we deem it duty to say on his behalf
that he is worthier by far than hundreds Of the
snarling ours who now bite at his heels, and
howl upon his track"
