He would, however, execute the senten soon after nine o'clock.

But we are now not about te discuss that particular subject matter; but, rather, the action of the House yesterday. Mr. Forney is the Clerk, by and through the force of a Republican-party nomination. We have known him well since bis early youth; up to the advent of the Pierce administration, only as an elér¢of James Buchanan. For, until that time, he had literally no fame out of Pennsylva- nia, exceptthat of a promising young man beiag brought forward by the kind regard of the Sage of Lancaster. That, intellectually, he was wor- thy of that gentleman’s regard all who know him well, or are capable of coming to right conclu- sions from historical facts, will 2dmit. We know few men of his age of his capabilities. He was the pet of President Pierce; exercising more in- fluence over that excellent gentleman, than any one else; usually to the mortification of his (Pres- ident P.’s) best and most disinterested friends. That fact is but an evidence of his Possession of superior abilities; for, of our own knowledge, we know well that many among the best men in the land exerted their utmost etforts to rescue Presi- dent Picrce from the thraldom in which he was at times held by Mr. Forney. He discharged his whole duty to his patron, Mr, Buchanan—and more than his duty—in the can- vasa for the last Democratic Presidential nomina- tion; overleaping his every obligation to Presi- dent Pierce in order todo so. Mr. Buchanan, on being elected to the Presidency, more than repaid him. All know of his extraordinary effort to make him an United States Senator, and of his subse- quent effort to appease bim—Mr. Forney—by the tender of any and everything that he could possi- bly accord to him without a palpable sacrifice of his Administration, by arraying against it an overwhelming Democratic (southern) opposition on bis (Mr. Forney’s) account. But he insisted on one of two things—either to be made the editor of the Administration’s organ, or the Postmaster General—neither of which could President Buchanan bestow on him, witbout in- 8 :ring that bis Administration should be, through- out its existence, in a minority in the Senate of the United States. Abandoning all hope of ob- taining oitice to satisfy him, he at once commenced the publication of the Philadelphia Press, with prefuse protestations of devotion to the existing Administration. A few short months sutficed to make it plain that his purpose in starting the Press was rather to obtain revenge upon Mr Bu- chanan, as by degrees his paper soon proved the bitterest opyonent of President B., personally, in all the land. From that day tothisit has been increasing in ite virvlence against President B personally, until it may be safely said that the world never before saw so bitter and violent an exbibition of personal malice and malevolence against any man, as that exhibited by Mr. Forney against Mr. Buchauan, in the columns of hi, newspaper. By degrees, too, as he gradually lifted his mask of Democracy, be became identified with the cause of ihe Republican-party opposition. At first—and indeed until almost this hour—he pre- tended identitication with the political fortunes of Senator Dougl:s. But all who can compre- hend aught in politics, have for more tban a year been aware that ‘‘Douglasism’’ was merely the bridge over which he had elected to pass into the camp of the abolition enemy of the Democracy. We ure without the space in which to trace his step-by-step progress over to the Repu party on account of his personal disappointments But that is needless, as there is no man in the land so ignorant of current political affairs as not to be aware that he stands to-day where he does in politics, only because he did not obtain from President Buchanan what he claimed at that gen- tleman’s hands. He has worked, up to this hour, no little iis- chief. throughout the North, to the Democratic party. But his nomination for the House Clerk- ship and election, by the Republican party, in placing him at length in an honest attitude before the country, strips him of all power further to injure it. While we have no regrets that abolitionism has gained the use of his unquestionably fine talents and capacities, we mourn over the prostitution to which he is putting them, with sincerity; for no other man was more attached to him than ourself, when belleving Lim actuated by honest senti ments as « politician. We have proved that fact by our earnest and disinterested defence of him for years, when assailed by those of our own party of better judgment than ourself concerning men. —-~ Rervsiican Cavcvs.—The Republicans, or rather all those who voted for Mr. Pennington, « sembled in caucus this morning, at balf-past 12 o’clock, in the Hall of the Honse of Representa- tives, for the purpose of making nominations for the positions of Doorkeeper. Postmaster, and Printer. A host of lobbyites surrounded the Hall, anxiously awaiting the action of those within. There are numerous candidates for all these ottices, and especially for the latter. The most prominent for the position of Doorkeeper are Mr Marston, of New Hampshire, until recently a clerk in the Treasury Department, and who, it is alleged, was dismissed because of nis anti-L, compton proclivities; Mr. Darling, who held this post during tbe Thirty-tifth Congress, and Mr. Goodnow, of New York; aud Mr. Fletcher, of this city. The fact ef the New York delegation being di- vided between Mr. Darling and Goodnow 5s said to greatly increase the prospects of Mr. Marston, who is represented as being strenuously urged hy the more immediate friends of Mr. Forney. In regard to the Postmastership, we hear of but three who appear to be much canvassed for this otfice—Ex-Lieutenant Governor Ford, of Obio Mr. Lewis Clephane, of this city, and Mr. Lucas* of Illinois. We understand that Mr. Clephane’ who stood very prominently asa candidate, has withdrawn in favor of Mr. Ford, which now causes that gentleman’s nomination to be con- ceded by all. Nothing detinite can yet be ascertained with regard to the disposition of the printing. Mesers_ Wendell, Matteson, and Bowles. of Mass . are the prominent names in this connection. Treo o'clock p. m —Mr. Marston, of N. H., bas been nominated for Doorkeeper, and it is rumored Mr. Dufree for Printer. Gov. Ford, of Ohio, will be the nominee for Postmaster. ConFIRMATIONS. —Among many other confirma- tions made by the Senate in executive session on Thursday, were those of Wm. Trevittzs Consul at Callao, and Mr. Grund as Consul to Havre.

PortsmoutH, Va., Feb. 1, 1860 To Editor of the Star: For the past few days we have been enjoying excellent weather; at present writing, however, the scene outside presents a most gloomy aspect— the snow having fallen to the depth of some three or four inches—and is still snowing. The theatre-zoing people for the past week or twe, in Norfelk, have been enjoying themselves greatly with the representations of Murdoch. During his stay, the house was crowded to ex- cess. At present, the accomplished actor and ac- tress, Mr. and Miss Richings, are performing to delighted audiences. Miss Ada Plunkett, who has been performing et the Norfolk Theatre, had the misfortune a few days 20, to fall through the cellar on one of our public streets. She. however, sustained but little jury, and wes able to sustain her part with her usual ability. A most daring and villainous act took place on Saturday last, in one of the public streets of Nor- folk. It appears that while two ladies were lei- surely walking down Granberry street, they were suddenly approached by a negro fellow, who pasted them one side. Th of course, drew orth, (and properly too.) some sever: from the ladies. He, however, not he walked briskly up to one of them to throw her upon the pavemen tim To be followed by Lucia ot LAMMERMOOR, To conclude with 4 gore Loerettes in one act,of ‘ML. Dubos -M.
