The next statement Of Mr.. Forney is re
garding the Press and its salutatory whicl
he says was forwarded to Washington, sal
lowing them to make its expressions of de
votiOn to the President stronger" than HI
had originally written them.
He says that up to November, 1857
that there is not line in it against Dir Bu
chanan, or which he would not approve
4 He then notices the Presidents desertlor
of Walker, the removal of Stanton, and III.
other acts that beGel prior 10 the first annua
message, December, 1857. He says:
81 cannot forbear an expression in Justice
both TO Governor Walker and Secretary
Stanton, that no men ever started forth
with more patriotic intentions than they
did, and yet, as We have seen, the one was
shamefully deserted in the very crisis oi
the game, and the other as shamefulIy re-
movek, and an attempt TO turn him adriii
upon the world poor man, after be had
sacrificed splendid professional position
at Washington, 10 accept subordinate po-
sition in order to serve the man with whom
he had been associated from the admins
tration Of James K. Polk until the fiaal
struggle at Cincinnati, in '56, and to whose
cause he had always given the watmest
and most energetic support o.
MIR. FOrney then comes down to the
cause which led him TO deliver the speech
which has elected so much opposition from
the administration, which he describes as
follows:
"Appeals were made 10 Post Masters
throughout the country 10 attack me in my
business, and 10 leave no effort untried 10
cripple my enterprise. In word, there
was an ingenuity of prescription, which in
duced me more than once 10 inquiry, in the
language of Governor Walker, whether in
deed, I'VE were living in the last year of
American independence, or the first year
of the American monarchy l saw The
basest wretches, men who had never been
recognized by the democratic party in this
State, and who in 1856 had an opinion to
avow ready 10 60 for Fremoh. or Fillmore;
l saw these men not only clothed with the
power of the Federal Administration, but
authorized 10 speak in denunciation of men
who had created it. saw the money Of the
Federal Government expended TO break
down the regular organization of the Dem
ocartic party whenever and wherever that
organization was not committed to the scan
dalCus Kansas policy of that administration.
/ saw Senators turned into Spectators in
order 10 induce them to desert their written
and spoken promises to the people; l saw
Representatives purchased to betray their
constituents, as Southern STAKEHOLDER pur-
chases his slaves; | saw newspapers openly
and actively engaged with me on the side
of conscience and the constitution, threat
ened or bought into silence or acquiesence;
witnessed an era of official despO;ism, and
an organization Of official despotism, and an
organization of official ins6ience, such as,
had it taken place under an opposition ad-
and against the democratic
party, would have hurled that opposition in
10 perpetual obscurity. 1t was in vain that
patriotic democrats in oil parts of the
Union, North and South, East and West,
held up their hands in terror at this aban-
Ioned spectacle. Il was in vain that Wise,
,f Virginia, protested, that Douglas protest.
ID, that Bancroft protested, that Ryerson
protested, tina. Knox protested, that the
nearest ani dearest friends Of Mr.. Buchah-
IN protested-the crusade went on. saw
he democratic party of Illinois, standing
lnder the flag which marshalied us in the
,reat victory two years ago, traduced as
rai,ors to TINT flag; | saw Stephen A.
Douglas leading the regular organization Of
he party TO daily conflict with the avowsd
nemies of that party, and yet attacked
ront and rear by the Administration; saw
Hickman contending against the msrcenary
losts of Office in his district, Haskin strus-
