re Our neighbor of the AUeghanian
seems to regard the election of John W. For
ney as clerk of the u S House of Represen-
tatives by Black Republican votes, as with
ering rebuke to President Buchanan If the
democratic members or even majority of
would of course have reason to feel mortified
at his success. But as it is, the President
and his friends have just cause for feeling
proud of the signal and convincing proof
his malignant maligner has furnished, that
so far from being even .JfsAy democrat, he
is an Abolitionist or what is the same thing
Black Republican. If the election of For
ney by Black Republican votes was a rebuke
to Mr.. Buchanan, so also was the bestowal of
commission by the British government on
Arnold after his Treason, a rebuke to Gener-
al Washington The cases are almost, if not
exactly, parallel
All our Democratic exchanges speaks in
terms of the strongest condemnation of For

must be pretty. Surely the casket is not I'm
worthy the precious jewel it contains. BLANCHE
may possibly be married Lady. but we ar,

Whoever heard of an old maid that wasn't a
cross as bag of weasels2 Blanche is evidently a
gentle and kind rs dove. Therefore she cam
be an old maid. If she is really married (whicl
we very much doubt) we hope she and he

Ma. EDIToR;-Your kindness in PUBLISHING
my last selection has induced me to trouble yo
again. "The Jet'' was pretty, but you will,

beautiful.
Thank you Mr.. Editor for your compliment +

John for NY liege lord. or worse STILL ma,
; be hiss Blanche of uncertain age, a broker
hearted spinster, fading and pining in hopeles
maidenhood. But no matter. My face is not a
pretty my writing, and so, if you ever do be
hold it, the Democratic party" will be in nj
danger of losing SO valuable a member; and as t
your not being 'fgood looking' l always heart
that the gentlemen of Ebensburg were proyerbia
for their handsome faces. But alas | hea

be found writing to another gentleman.
Adieu, BLANCHE.
