NEWSPAPER AMALGAMATIoN.-Now that thu
Chevalier Webb has departed for the fertile
land of Brazil, surrendering the pea nuts Of
Wall street journalism for the luscious fruits OF
occidental consulship, we may expect many
changes in the dominion of the press.
The Chevalier gracefully iasugurated the sys-
tenn of amalgamation in newspapers. The Cow-
rier first swallowed the Enquirer, then the
American, and now the World swallows the
Courier, Enquirer and american at one gulp,
and has been in great pain ever since. The
great point insisted on by vigilant contem-
p0raries Is that the Courier and Enquirer oar
ries over to our pious neighbor Its shipping
list. Let us hope that all the barks aud
schooners henceforth advertised In the World
will become vessels of grace.
This brilliant example of the force, duelistic,
mahogany handled Courier uniting itself In
bonds of wedlock with tho meek, seIf-abpe-
eating World is only another Illustration of the
French proverb that "extremes meet" and
will doubtless be followed by other jour-
nails. Nothing, for instance, weuld give
US greater pleasure than to publish the
bans Of marriage between the Tribune and tho
Times. 1t would be an Infinitely more perfect
union than that which has just been consum-
mated between the World and the organ of the
Chsvalier Webb, because, in this instance, the
ceremony would not be conducted by proxy.
The concentration of two such military &C.
muses. as Jefferson Brick and Massa Greeley on
one Journal would be of inestimabie sdran-
tage in tho present campaign j. Bricks stra-
tegic knowledge, culled upon the blood stained
elbows of the Mincio, aud fortified with
quadrilateral experience on the principal
battle fields of Europe, would do much towards
restraining the impetuosity of the rampant ed,-
tor Of the Tribune, who prances daily towards
Richmond with as much recklessness Of masked
batteries es if he were distantly related to
Brigadier General Schenck.
That Greeley Ia brave no one will DENY.
That Jefferson Brick is scientific is equally in
c0ntrovertible. When skill and courage are
united, what can resist them?
We therefore earnestly recommend the anal
gamation of the Tribune aud Times In
business point of view it would be exceedingly
advantageous; for it would be less expensive
to carry on one paper than two, and slender
advertising patronage when doubled becomes
respectable. As boon TO the world it would
be of ipestipabIe benefit. No living man
unites in himself the contradictory qualities Of
extreme caution and daring courage, of won
derful military knowledge and utter reckless
ness of other peoples lives The fiery couu-
sells of Greeley would be checked by the su-
perior prudence of j. Brick, and this new
Mentor aud Telemachus may in this way eNxn
for themselves an immortal name. s%'ss

TAG LAST OF FoaNEY.-HsvtDg been defeated
in his attempt to obtain new lease OF the
Clerkship of the House of Representatives,
Forney went to work to obtain the appoint
ment of Secretary to theSenste. But the result
of the republican caucus is death to his hopes
And this is only what might have been ex-
pected Having derived all the benefit they
could from his treachery to his friend and
patron-Mr. Buchanan-and having nothing fur
Their to gain by his aid, they threw him aside,
worthless as q squeezed orange. Thus Forney
and his lobby 90 the way of all rascality. HIS
fate furnishes an instructive lesson on Penn
sylvanis politics. For twenty years previous
to the election of 1856 Buchanan and Fornsy
were the warmest friends-their political re-
lations were of the closest and most intimate
kind. But ne sooner did they acquire the
power for which they plotted than they quar-
relied about the distribution of the spoils.
Buchanan played into the hands of Southern
clique of desperadoes, of whom he took into
his Cabinet Floyd, Thompson and Cobb, who
drove him ashore upon the rocks; while Foruey,
playing the traitor to his party and bis friend,
gave all the aid and comfort he could to tbs
political enemy-the republican party-whose
utensil he has ever since continued to be, doing
their dirtiest work, till now that they have no
longer any use for him. Both these specimen
politicians of Pennsylvania have had much to
do with the present awful condition of the
country. They are both used up forever.
Cameron and Brigadier Cummings, also Of
Pennsylvania, have succeeded to the position
of Buchanan and Forney. We have had Q
rather favorable opinion of Cameron, but
doubtful one Of Cummings We will only now
say that we hope they will both steer clear Of
the principles and practices Of their prede-
cessors, in order that they may escape their
unhappy destiny
