From highly indignant disclaimer in Forneys
PeRsylraEion, it appears that the report that
Wise. Douglas. and Slidell had been together at
Wbeatland is a wretched fabrication OF the
Philadelphia Times for we are assured that
"neither Mr.. Slidell nor Mr.. Douglas has visited

two objects in yiew--frst, to look after the spois
in behalf Of the Richmond Junta; and secondly,
to ask to be graclously excused from any service
In the Cabinet OF Mr.. Buchanan.
We are also informed that the first object in
volved a suggestion or two to Mr.. Buchanan in
reference to bis Kansas policy for il seems that
the Virginia fire-eating Governor, and the little
knot Of disunion organizers az Richmond, OF
which be is the head aud Master Pryor the tail,
have become little scary since the electioa,

This modern democratic Junta of Richmond, OF
which Mr.. Wise Is the head and Master Pryor the
tail, deserves passing notice. i is the rump or
