JOHN w. FoRsKY, Eso.-Dear SIR
When you issued the prospectus for the Press,
L had not time to write to you, but on the
day that it appeared, | said to mutual friend
whom [ accidentally met, ''tell Forney am
with him in his new paper. heart and soul"
said this because from my long, acqua-
intance with you. confidently hoped that
your paper would give to Philadelphia and
our State, bold and fearless Democratic
journal that would deIounce wrong and sus-
tain right, but regret to say that your recent
course upon the Kansas question has explo-
ded all those ideas, and convinced me that
your aim in establishing the Press was to
avenge your disappointment in not being made
member of the Cabinet of Dir. Buchanan
read the Message submitting the Kansas
Constitution to Congress, while in the cars on
my return from Boston, where | had been on
a business errand, and never since the DAYS
OF General jackson have l read state paper
that met warmer response in my heart
The case was SO clearly and succiuctly stated
and SO boldly and forcibIy laid open to the
American people. that | could scarcely refra in
from giving shout of appreciation when |
had finished reading it.
All those who are against the Lecompton
Constitution are aiding and supporting Lane
and his band of Topeka traitors. 1t is Loyal
ty to the Union on one hand, and the viIcst
treason on the other. Choose ye which We
will serve"
And yet, you call this Lecompton Consti-
tuition swinde, and it follows as matter of
course, that he who recommends or adyoco-
ties the adoption Of swindle, is himself
swDdlcr,
And dare you, who from your earliest man
hood have been so lavish in your culosies of
Mr.. Buchanan, now dcnouncc him as a swim
dler q?
Dale you, who have for so many years pro-
trayed him to tho word as possessing the high
est and noblcst qualities of mind and heart,
now hold him up as seeking 20 consummate a
swlndle upon the American people?
Bnt Will the Democracy Of the nation be-
lieve you? Mr.. Buchanan has passed through
! a long life, sustaining a character for honor
! and integrity unsullied and unreproached.
And II in the buoyancy of youth and ambi-
tion of his early manhood, he could find moth
ing to lure him from the path of duty to his
country and her people, is it probable, shat
: now when he has attained the highest honor
that our county can besto#, he Will engage
in the Terpetration Of swindle
What motive could he have for now seek
ing TO swindle the American people. when
whitened hair and advaneincing years admon-
lsh him that he must soon appear where am
| bition is not honored
No, the American people will not believe
you when you brand that man as a swindler
who, had he made you Postmaster General,
you would have been ready to strew his way
with flowers and hail with acclamations of
delight every measure he proposed, but, on
the contrary, when they reca il to memory
some of the incidents of your past life. they
will make up their minds that you are the
falsifer and the swindler, and Mr.. Buchan-
an is patriot. Yours respectfully. &c.
