Mr.. Buchanan. and put Mr. Douglas in his place
as the next Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. This piece of high treason would. in all
probability have led to the dismissal of several OF
the Office holders in question had they not shrewdly
set the report in circulation that some Republicans
were also present at the dinner, and that 1t was
nothing but simple conyiyia meeting after all.
With such assurances we are glad TO believe the
Presidential sensibify was restored.
But if ar. Buchanan was so much disturbed by
the mere fact that Col. Forney and Mr.. Haskin got
their dinner with Mr.. Fowler and Mr.. Hart at
Demonico's one day, what will he say to the much
graver fact that Mr.. Fowler, Mr.. Hart and other
leaders and oice-holders Of the Democratic party,
and especially of that portion of it on which Mr..
Buchanan has bestowed his confdence-nsmely,
the Softs-haye positively refused to sustain his
Administration as against the rebellous and recall
citrant Douglass At Tammany Hall, on Wednes-
day night. the following declaration of sentiment,
proposed by Mr.. Charles May, one of the soundest
of Democrats, was smothered by Messrs. hart,
Purdy, Cooper and Fowler;

When these resolutions were offered, we are
sorry to say that Mr. E. b. Hart, instead OF sus-
tanning them and pressing them to vote was
urgent that they should be squelched by reference
to a Committee; and Mr.. Fowler, the Chairman Of
the meeting, fastened to put that proposition
and declare it carried. Mr.. Rynders was the only
man who did his duty to the President in the
premises; and he contended with all his eoquence
that the resolutions should be passed. as they clearly
ought to have been.
Mr.. Buchanan may think differently from us con-
corning this matter, but we regard it as decidedly
an insult to him. and now that we are upon the sub
iect. We shall not Disguise our conviction that the
men who now control Tammany Hall are nothing
but Douglas men in disguise, and that the only real
friends of the President inhs city such persons
as Collector Schell, Marshal Rynders and Mr.
Fernando Wood. The Softs are slippery set OF
fellows it isn't safe to trust them under any cir
cumstances.
