SPECTATOR.

| Mr.. Preston s. Brooks of South Carolina
died at Washington at 7 o'clock 90 Tuesday
evening last. His disease was an inf4m
nation Of the throat, resulting in Group; and
he was attacked with it oaly on Saturday
last. He leaves behind him, with the world
In general, most unenyiable reputation, on
which we need not here enlarge.
1t is perhaps proper now 10 say With
regard to the act which will be connected
with the memory of this person as long as
1t shall live, that We do not suppose it TO
have been undertaken by him spontaneously,
and of bis own mere motion We have the
impression that it was determined upon at
meeting of the South Carolina delegation in
Congress, and that Brooks was but the tool
to execute the will of his colleagues To
that Infamous Office he lent himself yolun.
tarily, it is true, but not till it had been
decided that some one of the Congressiona!
Representatives of that State must perform
it. Brooks came forward then, as the
member from the District in which Mr..
Butler resided, to discharge the function Of
ruffian, and in case of need, of an assassin.
lie has bis reward in the judgment which
men of honor and unprejudiced iutelligencs
pass upon his act, but it can never be for
gotten BY the impartial historian that bo
undertook it in compliance with the nearly
unanimous decision of the whole South
Carolina delegation 10 Congress, and that
after it was done he was saluted by the
enthusiastic applause of the people of that
State as their noblest champion, whom they
could not enough admire and honor. As
for Brooks himself. then, now that he has
gone TO tho grave, we imagine that the
worlds condemnation will be somewhat
lifted from him, but it viii only be to rest
with heavy and ineffieeable blot upon the
escutcheon Of his Sfate.--.Nsp York Tfs-

new press here Immediately, to advocate the
nomination of Buchanan Bowman got up

Iy"The Standard quotes an article from

awkward dilemma-entirely overlooking
the falt that our article then was about ST.

now go for Simon as against Forney---the
embodiment of political trickery and eorrup-
tion and moral baseness. Circumstances
alter cases. Just so We are for Cresswell
as against the Irish legion and the Standard
clique, but in opposition to him as against
American Repubicanism. Just so We are
for Plumer, Briden & Co. as agsinst the

We publish this week the speech of Mr..
Waeonseller, in the House of Representa-
tives in defence of his course in voting for
Gen. Cameron. He sites the letter of Sir.
Buchanan in favor of Forney, and proves
conclusivel5 from it, the interference OF
the President elect. There is a nice little
squabble going on in the ranks of the De-
mocracy in relation to the recent Senatorial
election, in Westmoreland, Cambria, York
and other counties, which bids fair to rend
the party, and insure an easy American Re
publican victory next fall.
The course pursued by Messrs. Wagon
seller and Lebo, in refusing to support Mr.
Forney, and voting for Gen. Cameron, has
set the Democracy of Schuylkill, into a
regular foment. One portion of the party
denounces their conduct in unmea sured
terms, and another sustains it as decidedly
and unqualifedly. Meetings are being
held on both sides all over the country, and
tue indications are that, if the election of
Gen. Cameron viii fail to produce any 9th
er result, it has efectually set the Locofo-
cos of schuylkill county BY the ears, and
caused a most interesting breach in the har
mony of the party in that county. The
fight, as it now stands, is highly interest
ing one and we are not without hope that
the political combatants viii so effectually
use each other up, as to rid Schuylkill coun-
ty of set of ruling demagogues with
which it has been afflicted.

OF Forrest.
Please write as soon after receipt as you
can find opportunity to look about you.
With kind regards, am dear Roberts,
JNO. W. FORNEY.
Shakespeare, in the character OF Iago, in-
tended to represent villain of the deepest
dye-one whose low cowardly baseuess was
fitted for the most hellish purposes--one
whose very nature is regarded by every
reader with loathsome disgust, and with the
feeling of distrust in race among whom Sc
vile wretch should be found.
1t is questionable whether the immortal
bard had better material with which to por-
tray this character than is furnished in the
foregoing letter.
That Mr.. Forney should attempt to over
whelm US With column upon column of yen-
ON aud abnse, with which he seems to be
boiling over, after the just rebuke admin-
istered to him, is perfectly natural, and
what might have been expected.
"Not fierce OtheIo, in 50 loud strain,
Reared for tie han 1karcbef that caused his
pain.''
Independent of all other considerations,
Mr.. Forney's immortality should have and
did sscura his defeat. And am glad to
be able TO say that / am not alone in this
view of the case.
