September 80, 1858
In tire estimation ofevery man Of every party who is
mindful of the propeties of life and attaches any value
10 selrespeet and personal dignity the vtupcrative at
tack Mr. Buchanan and fulsome laudation Of himself
published in to-days Philadelphia Press, by Mr. j. w.
Forney in the shape of address to the American peo-
pie is condemned in unmeasured terms lt is matter
of doubt which is the greater outrage ON public decenoy
and moraitythe assault the President the praise
of John W. Forney the admirable Crichton of the nine
teenth century The unparalleled audacty of inducing
the agent of the Associated Press to send Geographic
synopsis of the disgusting TRADE to our papers, and thus
advertise the paper which contained it at the expense Of
the New York press, smart as dodge to trap
dollars and cents but hope that the newspapers which
have been thus yctmisod will dispense with the further
services Of the agent who lent himself to such proceed
ing With regard to the address ITSELF do not think
it necessary to make much comment The shafts of such
an archer cannot certainly reach the elevation which
Mr. Buchanan stands in the estimation OF the American
people and of the world.
There is however one part of the address, the utter
lsehood of which it is my duty to expose. Mr. For
ney abiding to the eminence of his services to Mr. Blu
chanan the devotion of his Affection the romance of
his friendship the extent of his sacrifices the excellence
of his heart and variety of other matters which show
Forney in most angelic point OF view seeks TO prove
how badly he has been treated and how i'll he has been
requited for his fclong attachment to the buchanan
Cause Mr. Forney forgot remembering did not choose
to state that instead Of giving up everything in the
world but his wifes property rather than have said
that he left Gen. Pierce with pockets full, II was with
Buchanans in preference to that of General Pierce
distinguished senator who of the most active
supporters of Mr. Buchanan nomination for the presi
dency, told me and others, within few days, that he
had ~ drag Mr.. Forney ont Of Me Pierce camp By e hair
Of The head" 1t is matter of notorety that he hestated
to join Mr. Buchanans friends from fear lest he might
not he able to make much as he was making under
Mr. Pierce. And this is the who boasts of money
sacrifices and his g romantic disinterestedness.
The Daily News Of this morning renews its malicious
and calumnious attacks the democratic State convcn
ton and presumes to take the Journal of Commerce to
task for its calm and dgnifed denial Of the charge that
he convention in the hands of the friends of Sen
ator Douglass The News renews this charge, of the
enacity Of which it is perfectly aware and adds that
the chief and almost only end and purpose of the
vention to build party in this State friendly to
organ of the New York democracy alleges against the
democratic convention of the State This is sample Of
the articles published in paper partly owned by fede
raj official and edited by holding office in the
tom house of this city, the of an important cleo
ton, when the union and harmony of the party alb
soutely essential to success 1t is impossible that
the News can be ignorant of the fact which is
known to every in the State, that there was
na one single political friend Of Mr.. Douglas in the
convention nor who did not positively condemn his
in Congress and during his canvass in Illinois 1t
further impossible that the News can be Ignorant of the
m that every member of the convention was warmly and
deyotedly attached to Mr.. Buchanan and strongly
dorsed his policy and it is also impossible that the News
be ignorant of the fact that the convention represents
the entire democracy OF the STATE ana that their scnt
those of the New York democracy If the News
ignorant of these facts, it longer be after it
has read the resolutions adopted by reclamation at the
monster gathering of the democracy at Albany in ratic
ton of the action of the convention
can assure you that great deal Of feeling is
pressed ut the malignant attacks which made upon
the tried and trsy representatives of the party by the
organ of disappointed little faction, not because the
News publishes them but because they beray deter
mnation to sacrifice the best interests of the party to
crafty selfish pique and disappointed ambition. The
democratic party Of this State is actuated by the feelings
expressed in resolution Of the Albany meeting, and it is
outrage that unworthy motives should be attributed
to the men who entertain such noble sentiments.

tcular.
