The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1850-01-22

II affords great pleasure to publish the following
tce from the "Pennsy vanian," not only because II is
we'll merted compliment to the distinguished ability OF
General Foote Of Mississippi but because il render
ed by John W. Forney of Pennsylvania Regard for the
person who pays the compliment, less than for the
person 10 whom the compliment paid, induces 10
give il place in our columns 1919
We were grieved at the defeat OF Mr. Forney for the
Clerkshp of the House of Representatives, because
knew him to be Of sterling qualities Of sound pn
eples and OF brilliant talents His efforts in behalf Of
the democracy had been able and untirng, and his claims
upon that party were unsurpassed Amidst tempa0n he
had stood rm resisting every allurement 70 othe
straight line Of right and justice With enlarged and capa
cious views ndbsl and conservative patriotism ,hshss
offered manly and effective opposition TO sectional pfeu
dces and to local factions But in all eaesness, must
say that since Mr. Forneys defeat and since his return
to his editorial chair, have been led, by his calm up
right and patriotic course, still further 10 regret the cir
cumstances which defeated him. Every effort hes been
made by the factious press his defeat occasoned
in the first Instance by the free soil faction in the House
Of sever the bonds which units the
northern and southen democracy. But MI. Fornsy has
frowned down these efforts He has returned 10 his
editorial chair; and with feelings which cannot Be 100
COmmenucu,
