Col, Forney of the Philadelphia Press
is evidently well pleased with the verdict
of the People of Pensy lvania- The follow
ing extract from the Press of Wednesday,
indicates lis feelings:
YESTERDAY
Two years ago, about the same hour in
which we are now writing, the editor of
the Press, then the Chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, sat down to ad-
dress the Democratic party of the whole
country upon the election of James Bu-
chanan TO the presidency, and to congrat-
ulate the people upon the triumph of the
great principle of Popular Sovereignty,
without which Mr.. Buchanan could not
have been elevated to that high position.
That was in October of SO, be it remem-
bered, and that result was regarded as de-
Gliding the Presidential contest in Novem-
Der succeeding. Since that period, the
same principle has been kept consistently
in view by the editor of this journal, but
imtermediately, between then and now, the
President of the United States has prefer
red to discard the great principle which
made him President, and we have been
thrown by series of events familiar to
the people, into hostile attitude TO his
policy in this respect. Every effort which
has been made towards conciliation and
liberation has been haughtily refused
AN APPEAL WAS THEREFORE, TAKEN TO
THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA. And now
we sit down, as we did in 1856, after the
October election, to chronicle the triumph of
the principle which elected James Buchan-
an to the Presidency. But we deeply re-
gret to say that this time we are called
upon to rejoice over the triumph of the
principle, and the defeat of the man Who
was elected upon it. AT this writing, it
looks as if almost every Congressional Le-
complonite in Pennsylvania had been de-
feated! So much for those who have pre-
ferred the patronage and favor of the Pres
ident to the confidence of the people
Thus much for the Executive, who has
chosen to turn his back upon the immortal
doctrine that the American people shall
CONTROL their own affairs in their own way
and who has dared to erect, in every dis
lrict in Pennsylvania, an official influence
at war with the fundamental principle of
Lhe Constitution. Thus much for the new
and startling idea that not the Federal
Union, but that "the President must and |
shall be sustained" But this result is not |
only attributable to the uprising of the peo-
pie against the betrayal of their Represen-
Latives and the gross desertion of the pop
llar principle by the Chief Magistrate of
he Republic; but it is, at the same time,
4 tribute to Pennsylvania feeling, and to
hat idea which is cherished by all our peo-
ole-that protection to American indus
ry.
The Pennsylvania (Ruchanan's organ)
says of the overwhelming defeat of the
)emocracy:
