John w. Forney.

Since writing our leading article for to-day,
we find in the New York Herald's correspond
ence of the 10th instant from this city, the
following, to-wit: -
"The Democratic National Committee, who
have been in session here for some days, closed up
their business to-day. They have appointed John
w. Forney (who is to be stationed here) to attend
to the confidential business during the campaign.
A good deal of excitement and bad feeling has
been produced by this announcement. There Ii
also rumor this evening that Forney is to go back
into the Union newspaper. Quite a number of
Leading Democrats now here declare open rebellion
at this movement
That is all right-Forney is the very man Of
all others Ito attend to the confidential bust
ness during the campaign" Why not? Who
is more interested than Forney? Who is more
capable than ForneyY Who knows better
than he, what he himself wishes donep Talk
of rebellion, Ell? What get up IAN open re-
bellion against Col Forney9 DO you knoto
Of whom you are speakingY There is not an
anti-American Democrat in the nation who
dares rebel against John w. Forney! Why,
didn't he get up Buchanan's nomination him
self2 Didn't he get Recder appointed Cover
nor of Kansas
Hasn't he stood by Frank Pierce. until II
was necessary to abandon him, or sink with
himr Isn't he the man who'll stick to sold
Buck" through thick and thin, and counsel all
his movements? Why there is not another
man in the nation who could take so much la
Dor off "Oid Bucks" hands as Colonel Forney!
He can do all his correspondence-mak all
his appointments all his messages re-
ceive all his visiters- and cold Buck" would
have nothing to do but to sit in his easy chair
and sign his name when requiredl Now we
say in sober earnest, that anti American is
doomed who attempts to get up either San
open" or secret rebellion against Colonel For
neyi 1t will not be tried, mo anti -American
Democrat will put his head into the fire by any
such attempt. Take off your hats to Colonel
Forney, gentlemen, if you have any desire for
political preferment. We warn you in time
The Union is extremely distressed that Colonel
Benton should advocate the election Of Mr.. Buch-
anan. 1t expresses vast amount Of indignation
against him on this account, which appears to be
genuine, but may, after all, prove to be 6og,.s.
But, let us inquire of the Union, how Is Mr.
Buchanan to be elected without the support of the
Benton Free-soilersf Can he carry single North
ern State without their aid
John Van Buren, and John Cochran have already
given in their adhesion to Buchanan. Why, then,
should Benton be excluded Gov. Bigler, of Penn
sylvania, an original Wimot Proviso man, sup
ports Buchanan. Why should not Francis p. Blair,
Jr., be allowed the same privileges
The following statement of the Louisville Jour
nal win be read with interest in this connection:
The Free-soil organ of Missouri, the St. Louis
Democrat, announces the nomination of Buchanan
and Breckinbridge with its biggest Rooster and
blazing cannon. The Free-soil Democrats are in
ecstacies at this nomination. It is their triumph
over the pro slavery wing of the party The chair

soilers) in Cincinnati Immediately after the nomi-
nation of Buchanan, was called out and made ga
rousing speech, which was enthusiastically cheered
and pledged Missouri for Old Bullion md Bucb-
anan." Old Bullion himself, the Freesoil candi
date for Governor in Missouri, is reported BY the
Cincinnati correspondent of the st. Louis Demo-
crat to have "done more to effect Buchanar's
nomination than all the outside influence in the
CITY," His services were calamity acknowledged
by the Buchanan delegates. Wherever there Is
tinge of Freesoilism among the Democracy the
nomination Of Buchanan is received with joyful
reclamation, but the truly Southern Democracy are
sad and disappointed. Buchanan's nomination ia
indeed bitter pill to all honest Democrats in the
South. VT
