Fornsy on the Buchanan Administration.

We cut the following letter from Col. For
nev, the editor of the Press, from that journal
Of Saturday last 1t is certainly most graphic
in its terms, and endorses fully all that we have
ever said against the propriety of eecting Mr..
Buchanan to the Presidency. It is gratifying to
know that Col. F. is rapidly nearing to the track
IN politics, and we have no doubt but he keenly
regrets the part taken by himself to infiict upon
the country so great an evil as has been already
produced BY placing Mr.. Buchanan in the Pres
idential Chair
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1858.
L left Philadelphia, on Wednesday, on hur-
red visit to some friends here, and win return,
God willing, by this evenings train, carrying
with me this hurried letter, which must take the
place of nv usual word in the Press of to-mor-
row; What difference between March 1857,
AMI March 1853! Idwell upon it with surprise

Inaugural, and the hal1s Of men of all parties
we're upltted to support aud to strengthen our
venerable President. The Democrats were uni
'ea and joyous, and gazed hopefully into a tran
quli and victorious future. The Republicans
we're dIsmayed, aud new political combinations
were abandoned before the prospect of a wise
Md patriotic policy. Mr.. Seward, in the Senate
Af' stanton, in the House, Mr.. Greeley, in the
lnOune, instead Of preparing new weapons of
.'e'ek upon the Administration, were turning
~e'' thoughts to those substantial questions up
" "nieh all men agree in this happy country.
Even the Americans, few in number, could see

eNls thsir plans. The extreme South, so apt
enate into passion, was as calm as Sum-
mefs morning. Conservatism, in its very best
sense had taken possession of the Government
an experienced President, sure and sagacious
