New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1858-10-25

Mr. Robert b. Getty was appointed Chairman and
after few appropriate remarks he introduced 70 the
audience Col John W. Forney Of Penny lvanis, who
was received with the most .umultuous cheers After
the applause had subsded so tina, he could be heard
Mr.. Forpey spoke as follows;
Mr.. President AsD FELLow-CITIzEss: an glad
to appear for the second time in this Congressional
District. My fret appearance was under oircum
stances somewhat memorable, at least the remarks
then made at Tarryown have contributed Ii not TO
my reputation, certainly TO my notOriety Ihey nave
been printed more widely aud abused more extensively
j think than the remarks OF any one man occapylpS
limited space in the public mind They were MADE
deliberately listened to patiently and am here
toni ht to say that have nothing 10 recal. Loul
oheeIing.l Intended necessarily to be personal from
the fact that in some sor. was the representative OF
an antagOnism to great betrayal oi principe,
sought on the occasion referred to- to set forth my
own case in defending the principle aud in 50 dong 1t
became my duty to expose what conceived to be an
act Of the most monstrous duphcity OF which annals
Of the United States under Jock to aagu the Presi-
ident of the United States for betrayal OF trust to
set forth .he causes which led to that betrayal to de-
pc the cOnse luences OF such an act, aud to invoke
The punishment Of the ballotbox upon that betrayal
Loud cleers. If when such principle is involved,
il when such principle deserted, the people do not
respond tones of indignant denupcaton, there is no
Use in having free government. Hence 1t was that
told the people who were then present that old
PENNSYLVANIA, Oh the 18th of October, would
pronounce BY memorable majority against
the cause Of her favorite son, James Buchanan
Cheers. And went home to make this promise and
prediction good and as you have seen, nearly $4,000
majority has been given against the Lecompon swim
die and against the conduct OF the Federal Admins
tYetion. Loud cheers. ] am here tonight TO say
that the promise then made, unlike some other prom
res. has been made good. tCheers l am here to
render account Of my stewardship and to say that
Louv IN.
President of the United States. Cheers. Contem-
plate, for moment, the magnitude OF this result;
look upon il ia oil lis proportions, and you VIII see II,
like some mute orator. encOuragir the independent
ard rebuking the subseryient treachereus public
servant We shall lave 10 more treacherles III the
North after this verdict. Great applause There
will be no more awards gong To "ashing-
ton to betrsy generous constituency here
after. Cheers. There has, a yet, been no
issue so clear this none SO direct; no rebuke 50
emphatic no principle well understood as that
which was tried on the 18th of October IN dear Old
Pennsylvania Loud cheers We did your work
here your election is mere matter Of form; the
ordinary duties of voting and recording votes Will be
periormed-but old Pcnnsyy ANA has made the path
clear for you. Great applause That is the native
State Of the Presdent-n that State he grew to man
hood-n that State he has been repeatedly nominated
for the high Office which he at last aanedhat State
gave him the majority which rescued him from danger
Of defeat in other quarters and II was proper there
was poetic significance in the faCt-that the State
time bring down the proud usdIper that the State
which was his political birth should become his potca!
grave Cheering long and loud. In 1876, Pennsyl-
vaDa gave large majority for Mr.. Buchanan, anu a
year after she gave GOV. Packer majority of 40ocD
and in the present contest the issue was distinctly
made and well understanding mar was more CON
scious Of this than the President, and re strained
every nerve TO secure Pennsylvania as an in
dorser Of his policy. ~ all my life L have
never seen such prostitution of official patronage In
bygone days when the Wing party came into power
they turned out the Democrats and when the Dem
ocratic party came into power they turned ont tie
Wings but never before has sGch prostitution Of pat
ronage and official station been known in the late
election in Pennsylvania. Not only was the money o
tie people expended by hundreds Of thousands OF dol
lars but the Administration resOrted TO the most cX
taordinary processes using THE patronage and this
money against its own political friends, or rather
against those who stood by the principle OF the Dem
ocratc party, which gave power TO that hduiistia-
ton In the district Represented by Col. Florence,
the regular vote was overwhelmed by an imported
army of Office holders. Some so men were IN the
Navy ard alone where not more than 5OO are reqr-
ed Every branch of the public service was drawn upon
for tae purpose Of contributing to this Immense horde
of mercenaries; but, notwithstanding this you have
the result before you-of ID Democrats who were
elected in 1856 but five have been reelected while
instead Of the balance ten open and decided opponents
been returned Loud cheers Aud OF these hVe,
three Of them agree with me. Some OF
these names are familiar to you, but the
Oal lnyt German
familiar to you. Berks County has always borne a
peculiar relation to the Democratic party. In Berks
County the regular nomination has always passed cur
rent, and hence il was that DIR. CLANCY Jones was
elected He took into his head he could do anything
and by singular Authorization that he was not a
from free county, but that Berks
County was somewhere in South Carolina or Alabama
Laboring under this mistake he went 70 washington,
always forgetting he was REPRESENTING IRON iree
district and if any question was put to hiN about the
Tariff or any publ measure, his first reply was
would it suit the South ' But after all this great
principle had penetrated the hearts the bcarths and
The frcsides there as has here They are not accu-
toned to the windings of politics. they cannot SIT
down and discuss with your statesman the intricate
philosophy of craftsmanship all the mean thipgsi out
when this man attempted to betray them, they r09seu
the lion of public opinion and Bcrks Co repudated nm
like re,ile that had crept around her throat. Loud
cheers That the lesson which more than anyinug
else was felt at the seat of the Federal capital Ihat
was rebuke which Mr.. Buchanan IN themcmcn's oil MS
extremest apprehensions never dreamed could occur.
And he has rewarded this dOuOe-tyed traitor, niter
the ballot. box-the honest, unpurcha'eu DaI9t-ooA-
has pronounced against this faith!ess puouc son
\Xhai do we see Does the President OF the nited
States WELD to this popular decree Oh, nc, The
moment the Geographic wires flashed this terrible sen
tence of condcmnation-this honest repTooi o, MS
pohcv-to his mind he sat down, ana WIN treionhi
fnqeIs attempted to rehuke the people who had
rcbuked him. He sends this man to Austria, endowed
with n foreign mission, for the purpose Ct saying 10
this majestic pronunciation 81 the peoPe against NE
policy II despise the ballot.box ! laugh a, you,
nnirop lCheeis If it is meant to turn the Federal
Government into hospital forev.ry man beaten and
abused of public opinion If gross 'reachery ana DC
travail of trust = to he rewarded by the President
Of Inc United States, then would not give the snap
of nv finger for your Government. Mr. buchanan
should at once send to Newlork and take the Bencia
Boy. who has lately been beaten by Monissey, to
reward him with foreign mission II defeat Is TO De
considered a virtue. How this will be received
by the people, history viii teach, hereafter.
Now let me call your attention TO another district IN
Penns,lvauia-the Que represented with such ability
