UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
49, We understand that The President elect has ex-
pressed the wish that J. w. Forney should DE
elected Senator from Pennsylvania by the pre-
sent Legislature Forney has been for twenty
years the constant true aud faithful friend Of
Mr.. Buchanan, and certainly deserves something
at his hands. Forney has made many mistakes
in bis career but he has never fatered ia bis
faithfuness TO his early patron, Mr.. Buchanan;
there il certainly some merit in this. We once
had a favorable opinion of Mr.. Forney, but one
day he charged falsehood upon an honest report
er of ours to hide his own folly, and we thought
this a mean trick even worse than his Forrest
letter. which was bad enough.
But the worst phase of his career is the support
which he gave for two years and halt to poor
Pierce. This must have hurt his own conscien ~
much However, he has got rid of him, and re-
turned TO his first love, Mr.. Buchanan. The vir-
pinia politicians, poor devils and office seekers
have always turned up their noses and tho ,ght
themselves superior to man who, from a poor

One and ~Indivisible.

The Evening Post tells a good story
about Hon Dan B. Taylor, one of the
leading Democratic lights of Gotham,
during a late visit tn Washington. Ii
seems that he was in Mr.. Buchanan's
room, waiting TO see the President elect,
and there met a number of North Caro-.
~linians, who came 10 urge Mr.. Pickens
as a leading Cabinet Officer. Mr.. Tay-
lor gave them TO understand hat New
York was in the market for a Cabinet
Office. The Carol;nians, who secuted
the suggestion, expressed their satisfac-
ton that the Democracy had got rid OF
New York. and owed nothing 10 that un-
practicable State. This was more THAI
Taylor could stand; he boldly declared
that, in the single ward where he resided
there were more Democratic votes than
in the whole Palmetto State; which as
sertion was accompanied by an epithet
not at all complimentary TO that self
complacent commonwealth. The effect
of such audacity vas what might have
been expected. Nothing remained for
Taylor's antagonists but war, and one
report had it that a scufle at once occur
red, which was only pacifed by the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Buchanan. who rushed
IRON his bed room between he combat
ants, and in accordance with the princi-
pies laid down in his temperance lecture
before the Lancaster Academy, ex,in-
guished the sectional controversy.

Yankee S~choolmasters.

Senator Douglas is said to have writ.
ten a letter from Washington to a Dem
~ocralic newspaper in Chicago, in which
be used the following language:
You are to be 'Yankeened'-in Other
words abolilionized by means of aboli.
ton school teachers and abolition preach
ers. And they will do it too, unless. in
vulgar parlance, you take the bull by
the horns l hope that we shall be as
active and untiring in the defence Of Dem
ocratic principles, as they have been in
propagating error. The resolution
should be taken 10 10 support an enc.
my in your midst 10 propagate among
your children the black and hateful doc
trlnes of abolilionism. The remedy is
in your own hands. and the advice,
believe, is salutary."
The a~llusion here made is to the be-
neyolent enterprise conducted with So
much success by Gov. Slsde 10 furnish
competent school teachers TO the desti-
tute sections of the West. Mr.. Doug
las was himself formerly a Yankee ped
agogue, and the Chicago Democrat thus
refreshes his memory on the subject:
"This comes with i'll grace from one
who, but a few years ago came to Hi
nois a young Vermonter; and applied to
the Rev. Mr.. Beecher, of Jscksonyi lille.
in this State, TO assist him in getting a
school to teach. How great Jul Stephen

The President and Cabinet
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercur, Tins snncnlates.

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury thus speculates:
The power of a Presidant and Cabinet
amount to nothing in this country. Ours
has come to be a Government Of consol-
idated public opinion. President Pierce
is an illustration of the utter inability of
any one man TO establish any policy in
this country against the will of the PEG
pie as a mass. He has brought all the
power Of his Administration to bear in a
strictly constitutional direction against
the Anti Slavery element. What are
the results? On The one side, we have
the Presidents earnest and patriotic re-
monstrances, his ~vetoes, his messages,
his patronage, his official and private
influence; everything, in fact, he could
command within himself.
On the other hand, we see the public
will, developing itself throughout the
country, in spite of all these restraints.
The Presidents Cabinet is divided in its
policy. The Presidents own appoint
ments in the North turn against him.
He falls TO receive the vote of. his own
party in convention. His messages and
appeals tohis countr, men only add fuel
to the flame. His vetoes are set aside
in the Senate and the House. He goes
out of power broken in health, broken
in heart, broken in private fortune.
Why? Simply because he attempted to
stem the tide of anti slavery. 1t was
too strong for him; too strong for the
Democratic party. and too strong for the
Constitution.
Mr.. Buchanan is a prudentmsn. He
has felt very recently the danger of the
enemy he must expect TO encounter. In
til: appointment of the Cabinet, and in
the line of his general policy, he may
seek to flank the opposition. One thing
is evident here in Washington, this anti
slavery element, reflected through the
Black Republican organization. has al
ready effected the cor struction of the
new Cabinet.

The usury Law.


Some Of the advocates of high rates
Of interest, ia this town, have taken us TO
task for the opinions expressed two weeks
since in regard to the Ten Per Cent In
terest law. The nostef these men ad-
vocate the entire repehl of all laws reg
ulatiDg interest, and would leaye the price
Of money. like that of wheat, to be gov
erned BY supply and demand. 1t is a
sufficient answer TO this, that coin, al
though property in q sense, like wheat;
By being the circulating medium. and
representing the value Of all other prop
erty, cannot be governed by the same
laws. Whenever it can be placed on q
level with other property, in ali respects.
whenever a bushel of wheat or a horse.
or an acre of land at its appraised value
can be made a legal tender to pay a
debt, Just as a like amount in coin. then
and not until then. will money be placed
on q level with property. But if this
was done, it would no longer be a circu-
laiing medium. Al he law itself gives
to coin the advantage OF all other kinds
Of property. and consequently to the
money lender the advantage owe all
other men. SO it should also place around
II, and its holder such restrictions as will
prevent its use In the hands of unprinci-
plen Shylocks from becoming an intoler
able burden to the borrower.
All will admit that ten per cent. inter-
estwill, in time, eat up any business man
who is a borrower, and yet we venture
to say thai two-thirds of all the money
loaned in this State, al this time, except
from the banks. is at rates Of not less
than ten per cent. In a little more Than
seven years money, loaned at ten per cent
annual interest, is doubled. If real es-
tate advanced 100 per cent, every seven
years. If ordinary business, after deduc-
ting unavoidable expenses. would yield
the Same per centage. all would be ri tht
but the facts show that the truth is far
otherwise. We abhor the claptrap cry
of the rich against the poor, and would
be far from joining in a crusade against
any one class; but we shall advocate the
rights of the many, in preference TO the
pretended rights Of the few. and hope
to see such laws made and enforced. as
shall place money in its true position,
that which will conducc TO the highest
advantage Of tie whole.
