fySxs4s I'm THE DEMOCRATIC
oHARREIi

/ q has often been remarked that warm personal
fgiands become the most inyeterate and nnorgiying
Of enemies when once they get fairly BY the ears,
and ii is well known that family feuds are the most
bitter and relentless Of any imaginable. This as,
sumption is well horne ont by the exceeding luminosity
which eharaeerzes the present quarrel in the Demo-
cratic eamp-a quarrel claimed to originate in a
difference Of political views involving grave prn-
cples but which in reality deserves no higher dignity
than to be attributed to conflict of mere personal
ambition The shot has been for sometime flying
hotter and faster between the opposing factions the
three leading spirits are pretty well matched in the
matter Of artillery one being famous stump speaker
ana the others having each an organ at his com
/ nand aud in full blast. On the 30th ult, Col. John
| w. Forney was to explode magazine with the
amiable intention of blowing the Administration
sky.hgh. He promised to publish in his paper, the
Philadelphia Press, reply to the assaults o. ms az
versares which should cover the whole ground, and
be full vindication. of the principle or doctrine OF
squatter sovereignty.
The following, which we find in dispatch OF the
10Th ut. from Philadelphia, will give some idea of
the character OF this document, which is said to be
yery long and very rich and racy in details and dis
closures:
ne (Forney) commences by reviewing the part he
took nj Tarrytown, and the causes which induced
him to make the speech he did there He then alndes
to the statement Of the (Washlngton) Union denying
the conversation he is represented to have mad Win
the President He says Not only did the CONVERSE
ton take place, but many things that were said we're
omitted in the TarrytOwn speech. Among other
things the President SAID: : II you. walker ana
Douglas will unite in support of my Kansas policy
the people of Kansas will vote for it at the election

strong side Of this question and that you can carry
of the people, but appeal to you to stand with me,
