THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY.

THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY.
We publish in another column an article
from the Pennsylvania, that our readers may
know the feeling amongst the dead Rabbit"
Democracy, and that they may also have some
insight into the plan of operations proposed
by the present administration This article is
one of number brought out by the publication
of prospectus for news paper about to be
established by FoRNEY at Philadelphia, to be
called "7He Press which the editor of the
Pennsylvania views as q rival, and accuses of
unfriendliness to Mr. BUCHANAN and his Ad
ministration.
These chickering's are the evidences of vol
cano of hatred and disappointment which
threatens to break out in irruption to over
whelm the Democracy Whether it will do SO
or not will be owing to the skillfulness of those
business it is to heal the wounds which are
now fostering and to allay the feelings engen-
dered by disappointed expectations. 1t may
seem strange to our readers, that JOHN w.
FoRNEY, of all the men in Pennsylvania, should
complain of ingratitude at the hands of Mr..
BUCHANAN. In our judgment, the Presidential
contest of last fall, turned upon FoRNEY's ex-
ertions. His management of the canvass in
this State, was admirable, SO far as the sue
cess of Mr.. BUCHANAN was concerned, and We
have no question but for his thorough organ
ization previous to the October election, the
Union State ticket would have been successful
which would have extinguished the possibility
of Mr.. BUcHANAN's success in Pennsylvania
and the Union. 1t was natural, after such a
brilliant canvass that the friends of Mr. For
NEY should expect, with the utmost confidence,
ever ignoring his past services and intimate
relations with Mr.. BUCHANAN, that the new
Administration would be ready to bestow upon
him what ever he might ask
The friends of FoRNEY now charge Mr..
BUCHANAN with ingratitude, though if the
Pennsylramiam can be believed, the charge is
not wholly just. The allegation is not denied,
that Mr. BUCHANAN used his best exertions to
make FoRNEY United States Senator. 1t now
appears that the most lucl ative offices in the
gift of the Administration have been placed
at his disposal with bonus of hard cash in
his hand. But FoRNEY aspired to WELD the
sceptre as well as accumulate lucre. A place
in the Cabinet or the control of the Govern
ment organ was his aspiration. To neither
po hnc
ment.
1t was notorious during the late campaign
that every County in the State contained
number of active politicians who were animat-
ed or infatuated with the idea that they were
the personal friends of Mr.. Buchanan, and
when he was fairly seated in the Presidential
Chair all they they would have to do, would
be to make their bow to him, and designate
the Office they wished, confident that there in
innate personal relations, and past services
would ensure their favor. AS far as we can
learn, this class of persons have been disap.
pointed, and have learned not to put their trust
in politicians, Mr. BUCHANAN, true to his we'll
known character as a cold blooded, selfish,
ungrateful politician, has turned the cold
shoulder to the men who have stood by him
in Pennsylvania with great faithfulness, and
sent them home, chagrined, soured, breathing
curses, not loud but deep
Such is the condition of the Bogus. Democra.
cy in Pennsylvania. The power of the public
plunder has lost its cohesion. The expecta-
tions of hundreds have been disappointed
their ardor abated, and they are either openly
denouncing the Administration or would re-
joice to see it rebuked in any manner These
men are not to be relied on to fight Packers
battle this fall. They have yet too lively
sense of favors unrequited. They would much
rather see the Democracy beaten, that the
Administration might realize how important
their services have been in the past, and how
necessary for the future
