From the Baton Rouge Advocated
a Great Crime.

VI E#A
John ". Forney, the editor OF, the
Philadelphia Press, the betrayer of his
party, and the present bought up Clerk
of a Black Republican House Of Repre-
sentatives, is very Indignant at that
portion Of the Pennsylvania delegates
to Charleston who opposed Douglas. In
his estimation, their great crime is that
"they have gone with the South in near
~ all its (the South's) exactions." (The
degraded fellow don't specify the "ex-
%actions.") "As to Bigler,' continues
Forncy, che has been the mercst tool of
the fire-caters.n ole trcmbles only at
Southern thunder" etc. "J DoUGLAs Is
defeated at Chrleston BIGLER uW hare done
the uork. If DoUcLAs IS nominated, BIGLER
Should go 10 AMJama, and become a stare
drirer. lie canhave no honorable future
at home, except in private life
OF course a man who supports the
Constitution, and thereby the rights of
the STAKEHOLDER, con have nc honorable
future" in Forney's estimation. Let Mr..
Bigler, therefore, "deeome q aare dr1ter,"
(Forncy's italics and caps,) so that the
cup of Forney's disgust may overflow
and bring relief to his troubled spirit.
"a word in conclusion continues this
moral and political scavcnger-which
we insert with his w emphais:
"The extreme politicians at Charles
ton and their Northern allies have dis
cardcd the best representatives Of those
(Squatterism-E. A. principles. They
refuse to 90 for DoUGLAs, because, and
only because, he is this representative.
For our part, and speaking only for our
selves, ne declare 1t to be the purpose Of
The PRESS TO support no other Charleston
taken from tie list Of those promi-
nenNy named. When his foes say that
he of all men shall not receive our sup
port, we declare that no other can re-
ceive ours. Or, to be more explicit, no
man like LANE, or HUNTER, or GUTHRIE,
or SLIDELI, o DAVIS, Or BAyARD, or even
BREcKINRIDGE, greatly as we personally
esteem, and closely as we have been at
tached to his character. And why
Because all these men have directly OF
indirectly assisted in the wa: upon the
principles Of the Democratic party, and
upon Douglas, and have stood by and
aided, or been silent under the public
prescription of all those who dared to
stand forth for the one or the other. And
such is the platform Of The Press 1t
may mean nothing to others, but it is
our ULTIMATUM."
Now we are all aware Of Forney's po-
his horror of "slavc-drivcrs," and
If his determination to support no Dem,
ocrat but Douglas, whom he conceivcs
be the only representative Of his
Well, what do we care
about Forney or his opinions? will in
luire the reader. Nothing, say we; alb
nothing. We merely quote
them for the benefit of our friends i'll the
parish Of Pointe Coupee. The Echo, of
that parish, seems to be so much fasci-
by the article from which we have
quoted, that we thought it not out of
place to let those "slave drivers" who
are 50 glibly and contemptuously spoken
IF, know what the Douglasites think Of
hem.
The Echo thus admiring1y calls at
to Forney's philippe against the
South, which we take the liberty Of ital-
ave publish a most cucchent article
from Forney's Philadelphia Press, on the
political topic of the day. TIE editor
'ohs az The right w0y, and exposes rery
the secret power whih Is brought to
bear upon the opponent Of Senator Douglas.
We ask for it a perusal.0
And we TASK for it a perusal.'' Further,
take the privilege Of assuring the
of the North, as we'll as the
Of the Southern States, that
there are not a dozen men in the parish
Of Pointe Coupee who agree with the
Echo. Is it possible that a newspaper
exists among us that can conscientious
y sanction such talk in the right way"
that we have just quoted from the
lebased and characterless being who
,dits the Philadelphia Press? If SO,
hese be strange times upon which we
AVE fallen.
