FORNEY,S FAREWELL TO Blu.
CHANAN.

On the 4th day of March last, John W. For
ney, editor of the Philadelphia Press, addressed
to James Buchanan, through the columns of his
paper, farewell letter. abounding in severe
animadversions, net only against the political
integrity of the retiring President, but also
against his actions as a man. For severity of
language, we think we havenever read any thing
equal to it; for keen, cutting, biting sarcasm, it
cannot be exceeded; and for its truthfulness,
the entire people of the United States will vouch.
The following extract, which we clip frem the
Sacramento Union of the 10Th March, will show
the character of the document. After speaking
of the prophesies of his enemies, that if ever he
was clothed with the power of President he
would devote himself to the overthrow of his
party, whilst his friends predicted that he would
immortalize himself by his moderation, and con-
solidate the democracy so as to leave it without
a respectable adversary, Forney says:
elbow you fulfilled the prophesies of the one,
and how you disappointed the hopes of the other,
the impartial historian will record on his imper.
ishable tablets.
1t would be superfuous to recapitulate the
thricetold tale Of the downfall of yourself, your
party and your country. Even those who enyied
your friends, while those friends were rejoicing
over your election, were shocked at the manner
in which you prosecuted and bounded the men
who, during many years of minority, had carried
your cause on their shoulders, until finally they
placed you in the Presidential chair. No such
spectacle has ever been presented in any country.
You struck the most fatal blows at those who
had rendered you the most devoted service.
There was rancor and cruelty in your treat
ment of these men that no imagination could
have anticipated, and no logician defend Even
those who attempted to maintain their usual kind
relations to your person were repelled with
naughty and freezing indifference, or subjected
to your will by being made the slaves of your
capriees and the echoes of your treacheries. In
proportion as you conducted this unprovoked
warfare upon those citizens, you took into your
confidence men who had never treated you save
as object of hatred and scorn."
In closing his epistle Forney uses the follow
ing scathing language:
81 do not envy you your reflections in the
Winter of your years but like that Frenchman,
when called upon to vote whether he would
doom the tyrant of his country to the death he
so richly merited, l conclude this epistle in his
own words: 4 commiserate the poor, and the
needy, and the oppressed, but have no pity for
the oppressor of my country"
That Buchanan richly merits this castigation
at the hands of John W. Forney no one can
doubt who is at all familiar with the history of
the past four years. To Forney, more than any
other man, was he indebted for his nomination
at Cincinnati in 1856, and but for Forney's in
fuence, he never could have been elected Presi-
dent. S.

Texas AND FLoR1DA.-There might have
been some little dignity in the secession
movement if Texas and Florida had not
Joined it. The former imperiled the Union
when she came into it, which she was glad
enough to do for protection against the
armies of her Mexican neighbors; and
the latter would still have been the property
of Billy Bowlegs, if Martin Van Burens blood
hounds, and Uncle Sans army and Treasury
had not gone to her relief The ingratitude
exhibited by these States is so vile and
heaven-condemned, that we should think no
honest man, would consent to buy their
lands or live under their ussurped govern
meut.

CAMPTONVILLE.

A few days ago had occasion to visit
this famous town on business matters, and
whilst there enjoyed the hospitaiities of its
citizens. made my headquarters at an
excellent hotel, presided over by'a Virginia
gentleman of the olden time," by name Ma
pier. He is an eccentric gentleman, full of
good humor, fun and anecdote, and generally
manages to keep a crowd around him,
whether they will or'no. Among the bad
qualities which discovered him to possess
after few hours intercourse with him, was,
that he is "a rampant and srantakerous'
cessionist-opposed to Uncle Abes admin
istration and opposed to coercion. This of
course damned him in my estimation, and
took occasion to tell him so. Not that 1
objected to his opposition to Uncle Abe, for
some Of the best men in the country oppose
him. 1t is his right-his privilege. He is
under the impression that JEFF Davis will be
able to maintain his gro-propagating Con-
federacy as against the United States Gov
ernment, and that after 'all things are settled
down, and peace is declared between the
North and South, the latter will become the
garden-spot of America-the Eden of the
world. Then, he says, he will return to Old
Virginia and settle down for life under his
own vine and fig tree, feeling sure that his
domestic tranquility will not be disturbed by
Gohn Brown raids or Black Republican abo-
IitiUnists.
air, and in my boyhood days was in the habit
of building some myself, but of all the castles
ever built in imagination, none of them
approximated the castle of our friend Napier );
and although have particular regard for
the man as an individual, as a landlord and
private citizen, trust in God he will never
realize his anticipations. l was happy to
learn he was the only treasonist in the neigh
borhood of Camptonville.
Camptonville is not the town it once was,
by any means. 1t is "growing small by, de-
grees and beautifully less" / mean, it is
diminishing in size, though the houses that
remain, present more comely outside ap-
pearance.
Mining at this locality is not of the very
best, though was informed some claims
were doing well. There was water in abun-
dance, with but few purchasers. The popu-
lation, so far as old settlers are concerned,
remains as it was years ago, only that many
have gone to Washoe and other parts But
few new faces presented themselves to me
during my visit.
Camptonville, like all other towns IN the
State has mixed population.of allcountries
classes and sexes but, take them all in all,
they are as kind-hearted and generous peo-
pie as can be found in any town of the State
Traitors, cesessionists, anti-coercionists and
abolitionists find no favor IN the eyes of
large majority of its population. They are
all, ALL for the country and the Union except
my friend Napier. S.

B9@ It is fact which has become pretty
apparent in the last six months, that almost
every man who was born in q seeding
State, sympathiEes with that State, and even
gees so far as to defend its conduct by argu-
nent. In some cases they even avow, that
when the hour arrives rendering it necessary,
they will be found fighting in the ranks Of
the seceders. These men profess that it is
APPOINT of honor with them We have many
such in Galifornia-several holding offices
of trust and proft-soorn ofices-which
ahonor" does not seem to suggest they
should resign. They are like a jockey, who
bets against the horse he is eutrusted to ride.
Holding Office is their trade-purely mechan-
ical with them-and the oath which they
subscribe nothing more than one of the tools
used in their vocation.
Hereafter the voters should see to it, not
to relinqnish the places of public response
hility into the hands of such ingrates-no
more than they would employ nurse in
their families who affects to despise the child
confded to his or her care.

REMOVAL OF THE CApITAL.-The "small DO
tato" members of the Legislature are endeavor-
ing to get up another excitement about the
removal of the capital from Sacramento. These
agitations usually arise from three causes. The
first is, there is always a class of mea in such
bodies SO obscure frem education, habits and
associations, that any measure, even though it
be OF positively ruinous policy, is embraced by
them, if it promises to bring their names into
ephemeral notoriety. A second reason is, the
smart ones revive it rod of terror to be held
over the heads of the Sacramento delegation,
and force them into the swapping system, to gain
support for plundering and speciality bills which
have no merit within themselves A third arises
from the fact, that those of the members who
have no talents, believe the deficiency ought to be
made up in some other way. The idea never
entered their dull nodales that the part of leg
islator is to the State, but they religiousy
thmkthe people designed they should in some way
benefit themselves, and they go in for agitat-
ing this question, just the same as they would
any other which is an outrage upon public deli
cacy and decency, purely from motives of per-
sonal consideration. They are not in the slight
est degree restrained or influenced by the casti-
cations of the press, simply for the reason that
they never read newspapers, and, consequently,
don't know what they contain
1t must be manifest that some such causes lie
at the bottom of all these capital removal excite
ments. No man at this late day, who has any
respect for himself or reputation to lose, would
dare permit his name to go forth as favoring such
scheme. What is it to these small minds where
the capitol is located They are, most likely,
for the first and last time, occupying seats with
in its walls; and why would the greater lights
presume to offer another insuttot the intelligence
OF the people, make another drain upon the
State Treasury, or render themselves obnoxious
to general reprobation, unless they had some
criminal private motive to subserve?
