Fornsy and ths AdminIstratIOn

Forney cast off all reserve 10 bis Alln-
'ions TO the Buchanan administration, 10
bis recent speech ct TarytOwn, New York.
He went there to help his friend Has.

and bogus Democracy, and tie occasion
seemed to inspire him with renewed cohr.
age and 10 give him nerve for the grand
crusade iD which be has become enlisted.
From this lime forth, whatever may be the
future position Of the editor Of the Press,
be must live 10 direct antagonism 10 Janes
Buchanan, whose narrow, proAcFiptivs and
liberal mind cannot brook opposition to bis
win. The speech has caused 3 futtsr Of
excitement ct Washington, and the cum
tOadies whose highest ambition is toreAsct
the feelings Of the appointing pow II, do
not hesitate 10 transfer the rebelIiouS editor
to the ranks Of the Republicans, without
waiting for any further adVices. They say
that Forney's ultimate desertiOn is hxej
fact. the only uncertainty connected with
il being the precise period Of its consum.
nation. Mr.. Forney's disclosures possess
q historical significance aud wherever they
are proclaimed they will have damaging
effect on what little reputation remains To
the bold usurper who now disgraces the
station once filed by Washington and 3
Jefferson. Mr.. Buchanan cannot escape
from the odium which they carry with
them, BY falling back on the dignity Of bis
Office, or by resort to a Wholesale abuse
of the high privileges which that Office con.
fers upon him. His iutrigues-his trOach-
cry to popular rights-his falsenesa to
pledges solemnly given-will eventually
ovsrN helm him, and cause his very name
to be bye-word and reproach.
The quotation from the speech literally
impsles MIR, Buchanan, and must convince
bis most partial friends that bis whole
course in reference to Kansas has been
marxed by treachery aud deceit. The
demsgogue may be traced in every word
attributed 10 the President in this extract:
II did not for q moment believe that the
Administration had concluded to abandon
the principles which had put them into
power; that they were resolved to make
their policy test; SO when l went to
Washington, ,snd called upon my old friend,
| said to him, 'Mr. Buchanan, for the first
time in our lives We are at variance; | tind
myself standing by one principle, having
followed your lead, and you have deserted
it," WELL said be, can't you change
tool [Laughtsrl If can afford to
change, why can't you afford to change ?
Renewed laughter Ifyou and Douglas
aud Walker will unite in support of my
policy, there will not be a whimper Of this
thing it will pass by like summer breeze
| told him it was very well with al Ad'
ministration surrounded by Ofice-boldes,
aud living all the time in the atmosphere
Of fiattery, that was followed by thousands
Of gentlemen who expected place; that
they could come to him and say, you are
right, Mr.. Buchanan; we are down on our
bellies: please to walk over us-please
trampIe upon US and we will be happy and
content, and hope you will believe your
policy is right. :.
"But l tell you,' said |, there is still
small voice Ia the people that in,
stinctiyely rejects frauds, and this is not
only fraud but dishonor. do not
claim to be more honest than any Other
man. have done as al politicians have
some things which may not square ex-
actIy with the rules Of religion and right
and which, If l have, ! regret them; but
this thing will not do. loud cheers i
| | have reached the stature and years oil
manhood, and cannot go back to Penn
sylvanla to eat my ow words and become
the slave Of power. Renewed cheers. J.
II cannot. But then Mr.. Buchanan you
must tolerate this difference of opinion -
Gen, Jackson tolerated differences Of opin'
ion in his friends. Col. Polk tolerated
differences Of opinion, and you differed
with him in his views on the tariff, and
vet you remained in bis Cabinet. Mr.
Pierce tolerated differences of opinion
But here you are. Men who put you
where you are--Who ask nothing at youI
lhands-who have refused your fsyors--
have trampled all the patronage that has
been offered them under foot; here they
are, asking to be tolerated in the inddl-
gencs Of an honest opinion The reply
Ito that was. Sir | intend to make my Kan
sas policy test rWell, Sir said /, Z

This is the portrait of Mr.. Buchanan
which will have its influence with the peo
pls who will discover that instead of hav
