M,mE Talk OF New JoURSALs.--We under
stand that Forney, the principal Buchanan man
in Pennsylvania, is exceedingly savage that his
agents and understrappers have not az yet been
able to start newspaper organ here. The prin-
cfpal persons engaged in this project are George
y. Sanders ex-Consul to Lonlon, who is to take
the financial department, and Robert j. Walker,
formerly Secretary 70 the Treasury, who is to be
the principal editor, with probably Daniel 5.
Sickles TO do up the foreign and diplomatic arti-
cles-Sanders himself ticking care of all the fill
clustering.
These gentlemen profess to have a subscription
amounting TO S100.o00, forty thousand dollars
of which is to be available in thirty days, the
remainder to be forthcoming some time between
this ard the day of Judgment. The great Diff
Guilty which they have had to encounter is the
i'm possibility OF procuring q newspaper machine
Of sufficient speed to print off the vast circulation
with which they mean to deluge the bewildered
minds which cannot see the light without their
assistance. They applied to Messrs. Hoe & Co.,
the famous machine makers, to supply them
with press, but Hoei& Co., with the whole OF
their mechanics and machinery, are engaged on
work for the New YeaK HERALD and the Lon
don Tines, which viii keep them employed
for the next two years These two jour
rails have entered into contracts with
the Messs. Hoe for six ten cyln-
der presses, each valued at 100000, and
amounting in the aggregate to S1s0,000. The
drawings for one cfthese presses, after being ex-
hibted here, has been sent out to the proprietors
Of the London Ttnes for their approval. Hoe K
Co. are now busiiy engaged on these important
machines, and accordingly could not receive
any new order from the Forney clique to make
press available FOR political uses in the Bucha-
nan campaign.
1t is singular enough that in this dilemma, a
person. with whose name we were then unac-
quainted, applied to as to sell them one of our
four-cylinder presses OF which we have three.
We offered to sell the machine, for the benefit of
Forney & Co. and for the advantage Of the
Buchanan election, for s30.000-it being little
the worse for wear; bat II seems that this offer ope-
rated as complete extinguisher on the news
paper projects Of the clique. They could not
raise the S30,000-we question if they could
raise even s3,000--and consequently they re-
main without press, without an organ, and with
out the so much coveted opportunity of enlight-
ening the people Of this great metropolis and
country as to Their true interests.
Mr.. Buchanan, Chevalier Forney and his
kitchen associates have by this time learned that
to establish political organ in a country town,
OF even in provincial capital like Philadelphia,
is q very different thing from attempting to set
up newspaper to take The place of the HERALD
in such a metropolis as New York. The estab-
lishmcnt of great modern journal is like the es-
Enlistment of new government; il requires al
most rs many years, as much talent, and great
deal more brains than are required TO form and
carry on the government Of the United States
or of Great Britain. Take the NEW YORK HE-
RAID or the London Times as examples. We out
live administration after administration aud grow
with the growth Of civilization beyond all former
precedcnts and beyond even the most extrava-
CANT calculations Of newspaper enterprise in
these enterprising times.
We would advise Mr.. Buchanan, ex-Consul
Sanders Robert J. Walker, and all the other mo-
dcums of intellect which arc busting about the
world and trying to attract attention, TO return
TO their proper positions and occupations, and
not to NEEDLE with matters which they don't I'M
derstand, such as the management policy. into
rest and duties Of leading Journal in such mag
nifcent cities a. London and New York.
