Progress Of the Great Democratic Re-
beIIion.
The adherents of Douglas at the East
have become more defiant in tone towards
the National Democracy, since his re-elec-
tion to the Senate 1t is clearly their in
tention to set up for themselves. in 1860,
in opposition to the mother church. The
declaration oGthSC chicago Times, that the
managers Of the National Democracy
'may triumph at Charleston, but God
help them before the people" is but To-
gical consequence of the course deliberated
upon by Mr.. Douglas.
Forney has passed the last ten days with
Douglas. Fla has followed him from
Philadelphia to Washington, and after a
secret caucus with the Anti nti-Lecomptonites,
he writes to his paper in the most savage
style against the degraded dynasty, as he
calls the Administration. He lays down
the platform of his faction for 1860 Its
main feature is Squatter Sovcreignty--the
right of the people Of Territory to atpl-
'ish Slavery and to nullify the Dred Scott
decision. If we correctly understand Mr.
Forney's givingsout, the project of this
junto is to crcatc,a new party with Douglas
at its hcad--he to steer between the posi-
tions bold by the Republicans and the
Democricy, nangather enough recruits
under his banner to h6S bssuhalance of
power between the two great parties:
rely largely upon obtaining the co-opera-
ton AMI Assistance Of the South Amer
leans, and of all the odds and ends of that
party still in existence in the Northern
States. and do not despair of securing GER

his recent struggle with Old Abe. With

in the race for the White House. the Squa'-
ter Sovereign will come in ahead of all
competitors. This scheme appears to be
in course of development among his
friends, and the camp-followers are hav-
ing their parts regularly assigned them
Col. Forney engineered the nomination
of Buchanan in 1856; but the old migrate
who he intrigued into the White House no
sooner found himself securely seated than
he turned his back upon the main instru-
ment of his election. 1t is said that "hell
has no fury like a woman scorned," but
this is an ETHEREAL mildness compared with
Forney's thirst for vengence on Old Buck:
an all the Presidents hackers come in for
their share. The Colonel has undertaken
the Job of making Douglas Buchanan's
successor. and although he should fail
in this he will have secured the satisfaction
of a great revenge''-the defeat of the Ma

The following extract from speech in
the Senate. by Mr.. Iverson, Of Georgia, |
speaking IN behalf Of the Administrations,
shows the feelings and sentiments of the
regular Democracy towards Douglas and
the schismatics. We quote from the Globe |
