But able and talented ~ he Wa, the
people did not sympathise with him.
Rvsn those Of the Federal party who
delighted in abusing the patriot Presi-
dent, and opposing his policy, gave him
no credit for his seviliogs, because they
knew the base and truculcnt motives
that actuated the man and they knew,
too, that had he been the cipieut Of
Executive power, he VIZ 80 have re-
NAMED the same obsequious md cring-
ing toady as before. The consequence
was that he soon lapsed into obscurity
and "fell, Ike Lucifer, never to hope
again"
We have often been reminded of
his incident when contemplating the
course Of Col. Fornev towards his old
patron, Mr.. Buchanan. 1t is almost q
parallel case, except that Forney has
succeeded in beguiling few Demo
Gratis into hi. tolls, and sold them to
the enemy for a consideration. We do
not hesitate to say, however, that oil
the leaders OF this Bogus movement
against the President and the Democ-
racy, are sctuated solely by revenge,
either from disappointment in not get
ting into office under the Federal Gov
eminent, or from not getting their
arms clbowdeep into the National
treasury. Their antecedents give ev =
dence that this is their sole reason lot
antagonizing the Presidc :, DESERVING
the party, and playing into the hands
Of the con- mon enemy. Their extra
ordinary devotion to 1.-THE doctrine Of
popular sovereignty" their idea Of
which, judging from their vapid reso-
lutions, is about as "clear as mud," Is
all sham, mere rant and fustian, 2
miserable subterluge to throw dust n
the eyes Of the people, and to shield
themselves rom that popular odium,
which they feel assured must sooner
or latter fall with crashing weight up
on their heads.
How any man-any Democrat-
who respects good faith, high-souled
integrity, and all those enrolling traits
which 60 to adorn and nbelllsh hui
man nature, can follow the lead of
characters thus actuated by revenge
alone, and stained and blackened by
infidelity and untruth, is mystery TO
us. And we trust for the sake Of our
common humanity, that the few hon
est men who, in thoughtless moment
have listened to the wiIes of the SER
pent, and straycd into forbidden paths,
will retrace their steps, and wash their
hands Of all participation in . scheme
and plot to betray the Democracy Of
good old Pennsylvania into the hands
of the Philistines !-Pennsy lvanian.

In 1928, powerful political writer,
at the head Of a powerful and influen-
tial newspaper Of this City threw all
the weight of his pen and his journal
in behalf of the election of General
jackson, as President. After the cleo
ton, and after the old hero was induct
ed into office, this man was an sppli-
cant for an important post within the
gilt Of the administration, aud was
disappointed. He did not attempt to
build up faction to oppose the Presi.
dent and the party which elected him;
but ne changed the whole course of
his paper; and his pen, which, before
the iron entered his soul, could scarce
ly find words fulsome enough to be-
daub the incumbent Of the White
House with adulation and flattery. WA

Rees, the editor of the keokuk Pos,
has addressed letter to His ExcelIcn-
cy James Buchanan, requiring of him
in plain and unequivocal terms that he
withdraw his proclamation Of the Land
Sale in the territories of Kansas and
Nebraska, on the grounI OF the tight
ness Of the times and the inability OF
squattcrs to make good their claims.
After going on with long string OF
rigmarole and liberal quotations from
ancient and modern literature dead
languages and old revival sermons, ht
winds up in the following burlesque
manner
Mr.. Buchanan, we cannot award it, and
more, we cannot endure il. You must re-
call your proclamation. or your fellow cit
zens who have vested all their labor in sub
DUNG these new countries. must enloin the

Should this application lie dl. solved, your
fellow citizens, must concentrate your set

The same principles which justified the
revolt of the colonies against ali IDIOT king
will justify repudiate:ng the acts OF n besot

revoking your proclamation. that the paral
lei is not applicable to your case.

half crazy idiot, and never have be-

now. What pity it is-in his owl

him is that he start Immediately 70

By the latest advices from Europe,
we learn that matters pertaining to the
long threatened war are fast approach
ing a crisis. Instead Of tho organza-
ton Of a peace Congress for the annie
able adjustment Of difficulties, thous-
ands of soldiers are ordered into the
field, and instead Of peace arguments
between France and Austria, it is soon
expected the question will be submit
ted to the sword and cannon. We
should not be at all surprised to hear
at any time, that the first blow had
been struck, and that the European
wal. had fairly commenced. About 100
900 soldiesr are already in the field
and legions more stand ready to en-
bark at moments warning.

A Joke ON . Judge.

At the January term of the Court
Of appeals the four regular judges and
three of the Supreme Court justices
opened the term at the appointed
time, and proceeded to business, the
Justice for the district not having
arrived. The case was called, and the
counsel for the appellant commenced
opening it. The gentleman is well
known in the State, and at former
election received the vote of one of
the great political parties for a Judge
ship in the Court of appeals. He is a
good lawyer, with dry, sound mind,
and considerable humor. While he
was in the midst Of his case, the alb
sent judge of the Supreme Court rush
ed into the room, somewhat excited by
a rapid walk up State street, the hill
being much higher and sleeper than
he was accustomed to climb at home.
He hastily took the vacant seat on
one end of the bench, seized the pa
pcrs and commenced passing them l's-
fore his face, within a short distance
Of his nose. The lawyer who was
opening the case had never seen the
judge, and did not know his PECULIAR
ties. Presently the justice had run
through the case, and got point con-
siderablv in advance of the lawyers
narrative of facts, and his mind was
all the time upon some point different
from the part which the lawyer was
relating, the questions interrupted the
hist osy, and evidently annoyed the
lawyer.
Presently the Judge said: "Mr. H.,
it seems that the assignee transferred
a litter of pigs in this interest"
Eyes your Honor said the lawyer,
and resumed his statement.
The Judge hurried on, and present.
ly made another discovery. He in
telupted with another question
II see IN this instrument you speak
OF particuis pig, as titman pig
What do you mean by titman pig /!
The lawyer whose patience had be-
come exhausted, threw down bis pa
pers and replied
"lf your Honor does not know what
titman pig is, will say that it is the
last pig introduced into the litter, and
Is always the noisicst and sillicst pig
in the litter."-N. y. Post.

"LAsr OF THE HUGGERAuGaERs."-
A sprightly school girl, who attends
the Central High School, where the
teachers have way Of melting the
pupils to understand what they say to
the class, was reading the "Last Of the
Huggcrmuggers )" and stirred BY the
spirit of inquiry stimulated by her
teacher, if not by natural feminine Gu
riosity. asked q boy cousin Of hers the
meaning Of Huggermugger. John
looked thoughtful for moment, and
than said "1ll show you !" and before
the incipient women had time to make
any further remark, John had his
arms around her waist and subjected
it to gentle pressure-"Tbat's .

hers in affectionate collis,on) is mug

half displeased Sarah Ann, "and this

ular nominees for Supreme Judges ..
the Democratic party to be voted for
next October. This is an important
and responsible duty. which should be
performed by the delegates with q due
regard to the qualifications in legal
point of view No man should be
nominated for Supreme Judge, unless
he is a good lawyer in the broadest
sense Of the term, and We think that
mere party considerations should be
laid aside and the very best jurists 10
the party should be nominated.
We have some Of the best Law.
yers in the State, members Of the
Democratic party-men of age and
experience, who are known to the peo-
pie of the entire State to be qualified

We are told that . company 10 now
being organized TO construct two first-
claas steam passenger and express
packets TO rom on the Rrie Canal, b.
tween Rochester and Buffalo. he
stock is to be raised BY subscription
along the line ofthe Canal, and already
considerable has been taken. Two
firms 10 Rochester take one thousand
dollars each, which is indicativeo of con-
fidence. Liberal subscriptions have
been made at Brockport, Albion.
Medina and Lockport. These and othez
way towns, desire TO have boats to do
light freight and passenger business,
and promise to patronize the line liber-
ally.
The steamers are to be of light DRAFT
and Just as large - will pass the locks
at Lockport. They will have SIDE
wheels constructed after . new patent
BY which the swell is diminished. 1t
is thought that these boats can be
constructed so ~ to RIM ten miles pei
hour, and carry thirty tons each Of
light freight, besides affording good
accommodations for passengers. They
can easily pass between this city and
Rochester in a night, or in eight hours
Of the day. The enterprise is some
what new, but not impracticable, and
if consumated will iu use new life into
the villages lying along the canal cas-.
Of this city.
The boats are not to be made ex-
pensive, and are to be run with due
regard to economy. The hulls will be
. little under one hundred feet long,
and have thirteen feet beam, strong
but light. The guards will cover the
wheels and form a Part Of the cabin
foor-in width over all, seventeen feet
The hold will be FIVE deep for machine
ry, freight, &c. The cabin will be
above, and extend nearly over the
whole beat. The engine will be Of
sixty horse power, and when light the
boat will draw but twenty inches o.
water. Such boat can be construct
ed for $4,000, and will not prove ex-
pens;v9 to operate.
