Our readers are aware that a powerful
influence has been at work to secure the ap-
pointment OF JOIN w. FoEvEY, ESD, to a
placo in MIR. LrycoLN's Cabinet, should
vacancy occur. This movement, inauguritod
without the llnowlcdy ye OF Mr. FoRSEY HIMSELF
has not been kept secret, but has enlisted in
It's behalf various public bodies ofinduentiai
citizens; among others the Philadelphia Corn
Exchange, which, at a recent meeting passed
a series of resolutions urging his appointment
Scarcely had these resolutions seen the light,
when bitter and malignant hostility mani
tested itself on the part Of certain newspapers,
the most prominent Of which are the New
York World and the Washington Republican.
The WOjgd of yesterday td5graces its
columns and insults It's readers with the fol-
lowing coarse yituperative:-
WgHAHGEs IN THE CABEBr.-A meeting was
held on Saturday a. the Hot. corn Exchange, in
phiIsdeIpbii which resolved that ar. JOHS W.
FoRSry was the most fit aud desarteSs' man to
90 into President LINCOLN's Cabinet rs Secro-
tary either Of the Interior or Of the Navy. As
So rotary STANTON still lives, this must be
taken for the present, rs simply graceful com

JONES already holds handsomely salarled

1t is, Of course, improbable that any ma
could have held public station so long as NJ
FoREEY has without creating enemies an
kindling animoSiJies. His position at th
head of powerful and profitable ne wspapo
may have stirred feelings Of rivalry an
jealousy. We regret to see these indication
of personal ill-feeling towards a man who hl
lived down more unjust calumny than usual
falls to the share of any single individual.
