and illustrates the whole science Of Adj
ministratior patronage, and gradually the
newspaper, whatever its party, becomes

greatly reduced rates when they adVer.

taking issue with the Administration on
certain safe questions, generally manage
to come forward whenever there is a dis
cussion of an Administration project, and
assist the organs Of the President to get
him out of the difficulty. | only mention
it to indicate how difficult it is for per-

his coalition with the Black Republicans
in the next organization Of the House.
A correspondent of the Boston journal,
writing from Washington, a few days ago,
roreshadowed the contemplated coalition
for the Black Republican organization Of
the House.
f Corwin tha author of the celebrated
I "aid and comfort" speech to Mexico,
whcn we were engaged IN hostli'ics with
d. ,rrrj says stands incompUrab!y the best
chance for the Spcakcrship, while the
q odds are in favor of Foncy Tor the Clerk
d. ship. But, he adds. Underwood. Of Ken
, tLo<y. and Gen. Schoulcr, OF Massachu
setts, are much talked for lh" latter Office.
The Cincinnati Commercial, Black Repub-
r lican, now proposes sherman, Of Ohio,
a for Speaker, and the Identical forncy for
r. Clerk, who seems to turn up with every
proposed Sonardite for the Spclllcrship.
Now, if we are not greatly mistake II,
], Forncy las no notion whatever Of becom-
! ing candidate for the Clcrliship. Sew
ard and Cameron intend more lucrative
position for him if they can perfect a Goa
ition with the South Americans Tley
desire the printership Of the House for the
i exclusive benefit OF YHe Press in order
o that, with part Of the profits resulting
, therefrom, talent may be purchased fol
= that journal which may make it effective
/ in Pennsylvania in the Presidential cam
$ paign. Seward is to control the Black
4 Republicans, Cameron is to operate upor
the Know Noihings, and Forncy is tC
take care of his own peculiar associates, i
he can.
{. But the intelligence communicated tC
the Boston Jo,upw as well as the state
u ment in the Cincinnati Commercial, seems
e TO be thrown out as a bait to the Soutl
h Americans 1t was to ascertain whether
Underwood would nibbe at it. The can
;, didates for Speakership and Partnership
q have been for months arranged, provided
l. a fusion can be effected Ii Underwood
,r will consent to engage the South Ameri
!. cans to it, the Clerkship is to be at his dis
.posal,
Forney, undoubtedly, has moro assu
r. rance than any man of as moderate abill
lc ties as he possesses whom we have eve
- known BY affecting Mr., Buchanan anC
toadying General Pierce, lac con,rived t
p secure a sort Of half respectable half equiv
ly ocal position in Democratic circles. IL
D. served each by fits and starts, and start
=, and fits, after a manner singulary hi
own.
In the case of Gen. Pierce, he squeeze,
n the orange while there was drop o
be Juice in it, and then coutemptuousl
-, threw the hull away. In the ease of Mr
:, Buchanan he tried the same game an,
~ failed,
10 His cucry-day "Occasionar is as tediou
On as a "twice told tale" Apropos, it is be
lieyed that Forney writes the Washing
-. ton letters, and some one else, an Eng
~ lishman, we think, does up the editorials
The Press and its writers had better le
the States alone If Mr.. Forney choose
y to coaese with the Sewardites we hav
" nothing further to say in the natter
y They are entirely welcome to all that the
:; can make of him; and if there be othe
., such in our ranks we will be most thank
~ ful if they will single him out as we sha
= be but too happy to tnrn him over
~ company which he is so well suited
