Forney, in an article showing how Bu'
chanan lost his friends, has none left, and
wants none, says that Corcoran, the celebra-
ted Washington banker, paid $lO,OOO to
$40, 1000 to elect Mr.. Buchanan, and now
never crosses his threshold. How much Cor
coran paid to elect Buchanan, we presume
Forney knows, for he acted as the Presi-
dents corruption-broke during the cam
pagn Of 1856. But it is very hard for Mr..
Corcoran to pay $4,000 or so for Mr.. Bu-
chanan's friendship, and then find it is not
worth having at any price. Yet it was a
gambling business oil around. and if Forney
didn't get so high commission as he ex-
acted, and Corcoran isn't favored to the ex-
tent Of his wishes in the line Of Govern
ment brokerage, why, it becomes them to
listen with little better temper to Buchan-
ans moral lectures on public corruption,
and to look with little more complacency
upon his "hogging'' the honors resulting
from the intrigue in just such manner as
satisfies his good pleasure.

Judah P. Benjamin, of the United
States Senate, who is one of the leading ad-
yocates of the slaveocracy in that body, is
represented by letter writer to exhibit in
his personal appearance and demeanor a
combination Of the characteristic qualities Of
Uriah Heap and Judas Iscariot.
Judah ought not to forget in the pride and
insolence Of his power that not many ages
have passed since the race Of Israel, from
whom he draws his lineage and name, were
despised, degraded and deprived Of civil
rights and social consideration throughout
the entire christian and civilized world. Let
him remember that in the progress Of history
and OF Providence the negro, who, he now
declares, has "no rights which the white man
is bound to respect" will also rise like the
'despsed Jewo to an equal position with s'his
brethren Of mankind, all Of whom are Of one
blood"
