POLITICAL HUMBUGGERY.

The "wirng in and wiring out" pro-
cess Of political tricksters was never more
forciby exempliied than in the perscn Of
the notorious Forney, Of the Philadelphia
Press. He was one Of the prime movers
in securing to Mr.. Buchanan the nomina.
ton for the Presidency; and even the
election of the President has been, in a
degree. attributed to him. And now for
Forney the faithful, Foiney whom all en-
termed above even the suspicion of apos-
tasy. Forney, for whom all the god

whom they reposed the most implirit
ccnfidence-lor him We say to prove re-
creant, is too bad. Yes, we must tell it,
Mr.. Forney has been making some bitter,
very bitter speeches against Mr.. Buchan-
an, and gives the old gent "soot.' par
ticularly in regard to the Kansas ques-
ton, and makes the following prediction
as to how the said question is to he :" done
for:''
Mr.. Buchanan's prototype once took
our savior up into an exceeding high
mountain, and offered him all the land
around him, if he would kneel down and
worship him, but our savior said to hin,
as Kansas said to ten cent Jim y, "get
thee behind me Satan" Now, gentle.
men, how do You suppose old Buck and
his fawns, who have crooked the prey
nant hinges Of the knee. that thrift might
follow fawning. are to get out of this
Kansas imbroglio? I'll tell You. They
are going to liz themselves Out Of it.
They are going to admit Kansas as a free
State, and swear at the same time They
never intended her to be anything else.
Mr.. Buchanan will set the liz to music
dub it the kansas policy with varia
tions," get Toombs of Georgia, to play
it on the banjo, and compel all his North
ern slaves to dance to il as merrily and
faithfully as SO many negroes at corn
