~ nave III loeaI mat often ana often, these
chilly evenings, when Mr.. Buchanan, after sup
per, takes his cigar, dons his slippers and puts
on his "wisdom cap,n and sits him down by
cosy fire, he falls to meditating about the late
elections, and especially about the renegade For

that cost me the loyalty of Forney.
Forney has been terrible thorn in the side
Of the poor old man of the White House. He
was afraid to give Forney seat in the Cabinet,
or first class foreign Mission. BE would fain
have made him Senator. One of these three
was what Forney's ambition would have, OF
else it would have the organsbip of the WASH
ington Union. But no, this last the President
could not give Forney either. Tie South and
some friends North would not touch Forney.-
They would, however, agree to his being APP

Forney spurned the idea. "oaesar aut nihill"
was his ultfmatum. BE waited awhile to see
what would be done, and finding that nothing
congenialWas to come of all his labors, tolls and
sacrifices in behalf of Mr.. Buchanan, in the i'm.
mortal rough and tumble campaign of 1856,
he straightway went of to Philadelphia, the
city of Brotherly love, and there he set up for
himself in the newspaper line-with big
capital and with big determination to "rule
the roast" so far as Pennsylvania was concern
ed.
Twas grieVous error on the part of Bu-
chanan that lost him Forney, and grievously
has he answered it. There is scarce one now to
weep for the poor old man, while Forney goes
stumping over the country winning signs and
sympathies by the bucketful from the hearts
and eyes Ofthe multitude. Some people thought
that Forney had "put in his best" MS the
''fancy" say, before the Pennsylvania election,
and had done his whole edo" in anticipation of
that event But not so. Forney, like him of
grand, gloomy and peculiar" fame seems to have
reserve guard for every occasion. He made
speech day or two ago up at Yonkers, N. Y,
which is full5of the terribly severe. Referring
to! Pennsylvania, here is what he says about the
President:
That is the native State Of the President in
that State lie grew to manhood-in that State
he has been repeatedly nominated for the high
Office which he at last attained-that State gave
him the majority which rescued him from dan
ger of defeat in other quarters; and it was
proper, there was poetic significance in the fact
that the State Which gare him all has celebrity
should at the same TINA bring dOt0n the proud
SLsW7PeT; that tho 9tate tchich G0as his political
birth ptqce should become his political qrape.-

2 In 1856 Pennsylvania gave large majority
for Mr. buchanan, and year after she gave
Gov Packer a majority of 10000; and in the
present contest the issue was distinctly made
and well underst0od-no man was more con-
sciOus of this than the President and no strained
every nerve to secure Pennsylvania as an indor-
ser of his policy. In oil my life ] have never
seen such prostitution Of official patronage In 2
bygone days when the Wing party came into
power they turned out the Democrats; and
when the Democratic party came into power
they turned out the Wings; but never before
has such prostitution of patronage and official
station been known as in the late election in
Pennsylvania. Not only was the money of the
people expended by hundreds of thousands of
dollars, but the Administration resorted to the
most extraordinary processes, using this patron.
