dogmss Of Mother Church, must necessarily
know very little Of the first principle Of Tam
rosny Halt Let him pass Next. wa submit
that If all the deiuded toi,o wers OF Walker and
Douglas, poor Forney should be treated with
tenderness aud pity. HIS peculiar mis
fortune Is lack Of brains Ever since he
cot the ridiculous notion ioto his silly
uo6dle that he elected Mr. Buchanan,
poor Forney hiss been all ut sea. No
doubt his special grief arises from his loss Of
the run Of the White House kitchen. Il Is a
hard case, we must admit; but, II there be a
case among them all entitled to special com
miseeration, 1t is this. We are satisfied. how
ever, that in the hands Of the President, Forney
viii be treated with all the tendern asa dns to
poor fellow whose selfconceit and wounded
vanity have been abused to his prejudice by
sharper and more srtful demagogues than
himself.
With regard to those intractable rebels
Horace F. Clark aud John B. Haskin--we pre-
sums they are aware of the fate which awaits
them among the democracy Of T~mmaay and
Westchester. Nothing bus prompt repent
snce for what Ii past; and q full atouement flr
the future, will save these unfortunate men
from an early and long retirement to private
life. Finally, in view Of the great victory
achieved over the triple alliance of Northern
black republicans, Southern Know Noshings
ard Western democratic deserters we dare say
that the administration, in its treatment Of the
Douglas rebels, Will be guided ny those princi
pies of justice, frmness, moderation aud magma
nimity for which Mr.. Buchanan is go pre- emf
nently distinguished.
Having achieved the victory, the President
will, undoubtedly, shape his action in the re-
consolidation OF the democracy in view
u the great practical measures con
nected with our foreign and domestic az
fairs, which be has indicated as the policy of his
administration. Thus it may be found expedi-
ent to shoot some of the Douglas deserters, and
10 give to others term of grace for repentance
and sbsolution. With this we shall be content,
and all the faithful democracy will say Amen
MORE Discomfort AMONG THE POLITICIANS -
There seems to be great deal Of discomfort
the appointments made by Mr.. Cooper, Mayor
Tiemsnn's new Street Commissioner. The elder
black republican organ gives vent to this feel
i"g, and the Mayor, "a we'll a. the Street Com
missioner, are rourdly taken to task for taking
the great majority Of appoiptces from the old
line Of their own party, the lights and leaders
of the Tsmmany Hall democracy, leaving the re-
pablicans and Americans who supported Mayor
Tiemanp, not So much rs a respectable emell OF
the spoiiA
The men appointed are we'll enough. as far as
character and repute goes, II We except Tom
Byrnes, who has been prominent among the
fighting politicians In tho lover wards, and SINH
lar factions in other parts Of the city. But the
fact Is that there Is very general effervescence
OF bitter feeling among portions Of the factions
that combined for the rout of Mr. Wood last De-
cember, and placed Mr.. Tiemann 10 power
First, the general policy Of the Mayor does not
please many Of his former supporters Even his
useful reforms-the suppression Of the policy
shops the breaking up Of the gift swindles, the
pursuit Of the gamblers and keepers Of disorder
ly houses, the crusades against the thousand and
one small rascalities fcity life-do not meet with
unanimous appreciation. Tho persons who are
engaged In these pleasant pursuits we're the
prime leaders 10 the movement against Mr.. Wood
last fall, and think they deserve. as q reward
for elevating Mr.. Tiemann, perfect immunity In
all their little operations. From the highest
to the lowest they are all very much disguised
with the Mayor.
The politicians who rushed into the fght
With such patriotic ardor, now find themselves
deprived of the Street Commissioners Office
which is the capital prize In the city lottery
After months and months Of tlresome litigation
and more hard swearing than was ever done by
any four armies In Flanders, the old Commits
sioners are eusted and bran new one put in,
having the control Of at least three millions of
spoils per annum, including the pickings and
steslings He Immediately hands all this over
to the old Tammany party, leaving tho Know
Nothing and black republican factions bowling
with hunger, and core with rage, grief aud dis
appointment. II Is a bad business, aud sore
enough they are about II. The Tribune even
goes as far as to say that Mayor Tiemaun ex.
ceeds the command Of the Scripture: Love
those that hate you, and pray for those tina,
despitefully use you !" but our philosophical
contemporary should remember that the Mayor
Is great leader Of the reform aud revival
movement, and that bis course In rewading his
enemies Is only In accordance with his own
theories, and the eminently Christian and phi
lsnthropic spirit Of the day.
