In the debate in the Horse Of Representatives
the other day, on the TAR II BILL Mr. Keitt of South
Carolina was drawn Otto the late Senatorial cleo
ton in Pennsylvania, and asked was the Senator
elect (Gen. C%heroA) Zone Of the national con-
servative pe'n?" On the contrary, Mr.. Keitt
thought that this election was the first alarm
gun or tie first flag which futtered at the mast
head as q signal of distress He need not be told
that some few tricky men were bought Ii a
true man was not elected, it was either because
of q dereliction of duty on the part of national
men, or because they were in a minority in the
Legislature" Touching upon the same subject
one of our Washington correspondents says that
the result Of the contest for Senator in Penn
sylyapa has produced a sensation in political
circles second only to the Presidential election -
that the defeat Of Forney has unmasked fire
upon Mr. Buchanan which it viii require all his
nerve and prudence to meet" and furthermore,
that
The result has caused deep impression upon the minds

Buchanan, unes the constitutional platform o the party
is clearly refecIed throughout so ar as the SOUTH Is
concerned.
Now, in all this it strikes us there is a con-
siderable amount of nonsense Mr. Keitt is one
of those combustible knights of Southern Quix-
otto chivalry who were pledged, with Governor
Wise and Chevalier Brooks, TO march upon Wash.
ington, rob the treasury, and carry Off the public
archives, in the event of Frems ants election; and
we have no doubt that the Southern men " de-
scribed by our correspondent, belong TO the same
intraotab fireeating and secession school. II is
little clique of dexterous, boisterous and self
conceited politicians, who, since Mr. Buchanaa's
election, have been experimenting upon hun
through every accessible channel, and with all
imaginable tricks and devices, either to win him
over, or TO iss1nidate him into their peculiar
projects and designs
But what does Mr.. Buchanan owe to, or what
conce ssiops Is he called upon TO make, or what
has be TO fear from the threatened rebellion Of this
little Southern clique of noisy and disorderly Sc
cessionists? Nothing-simpIy nothing. VIVA: is
there in this defeat OF Col Forney SO drealfully
significant of mischief to Mr.. Buchanan's admin
istration? Nothing. Col. Forney, before Legis
laure very nearly equally divided between the
democracy ard the opposition forces, has failed
because Of the superior electoneering tactics Of
Gen. Cameron. He is but another addition to
the list Of the democratic killed aud wounded in
their recent encounters with the enemy. re

The idea that bis defeat is oninOus of troubles

But II appears that our Southern Washington
Cabinet makers and party Warwicks have sci d
upon this ddeet Of Colouel Forney, and that
they intend TO make as much Of IL a. possible in
pressing their exclusive pretensiops upon Mr..
Buchanan. "a Caucus Of Southern members or
something akin 10 it, is TO be held forthwith.

we apprehend that this inquiry will apply rs
