The EFFECT OF DIssoLUTIoN.-The following
paragraph in reference to the melancholy
and disastrous effects which would necessari
" follow dissolution of the Union, we take
from the Petersburg 1ntelligencer:
We have often wondered al the reckless ex-
tremes to which the negro question hat led
the contending parties. How either the
South or the North could be practically ben
Gifted by solution of it in disunIon, we have
been utterly unable to comprehend-bu how
terribly they would both suffer from such a
calamity we could very easily and clearly
perceiye-aud we have taken occasion here
tofore to express our thoughts pretty fully
upon the latter branch of the proposition
We cannot contemplate the subverson Of our
present system, without associating with it
the countless and vast evils which would in.
evitably follow-evils compared with which
the worst that now exist, even were they a
thousand times more affective than the most
heated diseontents make them out to he,
would be blessings. We sneer at the South
American and Mexican republics for their
efforts at selfgovernment. We laugh at the
ridiculous spectacle which they have become,
III consequence VI un-Ir internal reuds aud
distractions. They are in our eyes but mock
nationalties fit only to be ruled over by the
military despots who so rapidly succeed one
another-the spawn and the victims of revo
lutiouary utbreaks which are necessarily
occurring and which carry nothing but desc
lation and degradation IN their track. Were
we to split upon the rock OF disunion, we
would become equally contemplate in the
ewes of the world, for we would be divided
into multitude of petty, feeble republics,
every one Of which would be prey to the

at his stolen lectures and feigned honestly

want girl--got the Office OF Deputy Inspector
got drunk upon struggled liquor--took

condensed writing. We wonder how the

JOHN w. FoRREY.-Since but the other
day this man was the earnest and efficient
advocate of the election of James Buchanan,
the bosom friend of the now President, and
one of the peculiar pets Of the sPeckled
democracy, Notwithstanding it was known to
the whole country that he had, in the mature
years Of life, been guilty of an offence, I'M
pardonnble in itself, and which, without the
most public and ample reparation, should
forever have exied him from the society of
honorable men. He was a standing toast with
the Party, and hardly democratic editor in
the Union penned a paragraph in which the
name of John w. Forney did not figure in
prominent proximity with that of James Bu-
chanan. But, alasl John grew aspiring! His
ambition o'ercropped itself, and having fail
ed in his efforts at promotion, he is now the
bitter assaant of the President and his poll
cy, and in turn is fercely assaulted by the
very prints that few months ago were so
lavish in his praise. Well, it is said that when
rogues fall out there is chance for honest
men TO prosper. Forney is now travelling
through Pennsylvania, showing up what he
terms the rascali.y and profgacy of the Ad-
ministration; and the Administration prints,
big and little, are laboring essiduously 10
prove that John lihs righ,ful claim to the dis
tinction Of being one of the greatest political
knaves the democratic party has ever pro-.
duced. When Forney tried to suborn the
play -actor, Jameson, TO swear away the char
meter OF a woman, he forfeited his claim to
credibiity, and we attach but little impor-
lance to his late developments about the
Administration, further than they correspond
with the now generally received opinion that
il is the most wasteful, cxtravaguni and de-
ceptious the country has ever been cursed
with. His present position Of opposition to
his bosom friends of yesterday, is only ano-
ther illustration that politicians are univer.
sally selfish and mercenaIy, and ever ready 10
turn against the hand which has warmed
them into being whenever that hand proves
unable, or refuses, TO elevate them above
their proper standard. Had Forney, as he
desired, been elected to The U. s. Senate
through the interference of Mr.. Buchanan,
instead of its bitter denunciator, he would to
day be the blatant mouth piece Of the Ad-
miuistrationi in that body and its warmest ad-
mirer. The opposition, or friendship, of such
man can never amount to much.

"lhe published terms of newspapers consti.

contravening the published terms, the pub
Usher can charge and receive according to
the terms so published. 1t is not necessary
