MEssRs EDITORS: desire through your columns
to present to the consideration Of the members elect
ed to the popular branch of the next Legislature of
the State, the claims. for the honorable post of
Speaker, of Thomas Settle, Esq, of Rockingham
county.
I am aware that many members elect are we'll
qualified for this office; and, in abiding to the
it's of Mr. Settle, do not mean in the least to dis.
parage those Of any others.
do not know that Mr.. Settles friends have ever
alluded to the matter in his presence, and am sure
that he will not be looking for this communication.
His name, however, has been freely used among
many friends in connection with the post Of Speaker,
and have yet to hear the remotest intimation of
an opinion of the least unitness, in any respect,
the part of this rising champion of Democracy. 1t
is well known that he presided part of the time
the deliberations of the last House of Commons with
great acceptance and in fact his qualifications for
this distinguished position marked and peculiar.
Digni6ed, courteous and manly in his manners, pa
tent, laborious and impartial, we'll versed by expe-
rence and careful study in parliamentary rules, apt,
quick nAexibly honest but of untirng good nature,
Mr. Settle could not fail to make useful and popu
lar presiding officer in any deliberative Assembly.
He has done good service in the cause of Democracy,
and while he has been modest and backward in pre-
ferring his own claims, he has many warm friends
who would rejoice at his elevation for the sake of
the State, as we'll as on his own account.

FoRNEYs ACCUSATION AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
In late speech at Tarrytown, New York, Col. For
ney, of the Philadelphia Press, and one of the most
industrious of the allies Douglas and R. j. Walker,
pretended to retail various private conversations
which he had with the President. in one which he
makes Mr.. Buchanan say he had changed his Kan
sas policy and had asked him (Forney) to do the
same.
The Washington Union, referring to the accusations
of Forney, says:
"Now, let it be remembered that this is given as
private and confidential conversation between For
ney and his "old friend" the President and Forney
himself is the who repeats it the stump amid
the "cheers" of the Presidents enemies. Forney
knew that the Aboltionists there present would
swallow 1t grcedily thing calculated to bring the
character of the President into disgrace and con-
tempt. Is any man who will publish a conversation
uuder such circumstances entitled to belief? In an
other part of the speech he says For myself
if could descend to the business of publishing pri
vate letters. could" &c. In what school of moral
ity did he learn that there difference between
the baseness of publishing private letters and the
baseness of repeating private conversation? Did
Mr. Forney hear of a man who descended to
either without becoming an object Of public
tempt?
Our purpose, however, was not to censlre this
statement for the want of honor implied in making
it. but to denounce it, as we now do most emphati-
cay, for its unmitigated and total restitution of all
honesty and truth. No such conversation took place,
nor any conversation at all between those parties
that subject. Mr. Forney never had the courage to
address Mr. Buchanan in that strain, and he certain
ly had not the impudence to offer his advice to the
of whose personal character he had been the ha
bual traducer for months before Lecompton or an.
ti-Lecompton was thought Of"
