CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
JOHN W. FORNEY.

CLERK or THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
JOHN w. F0RNEY.
Messrs. Editors Allow an old Democrat who
has long watched the political movements Of
our country, and has seen in his day many
strange changes of men and things, to say q
few words upon the question of who shall be
the next Clerk to the House of Representatives.
For the last incumbent of that position have
high regard-he has filled many posts under
Democratic rule, and in them all has done his
duty. But there is one man who has never yet
filled any such public posts, but who has done
much to deserve the confidence and gratitude
Of the Democratic party. | allude to Colonel
John W. Forney, OF the Pennsyluanian. 1t will
be remembered that at the commencement OF
the last Congress Colonel Forney was the Dem
ocratic nominee for the post. His services to
the great Democratic cause had at that time
won for him the confidence and respect of the
party throughout the Union, but his fearless
and manly defence and support Of the Consti-
tuition and it's guarantees had also aroused the
bitter animosity of the Abolitionists and Free
sellers, who held the balance of power at that
time, and they, after an obstinate contest, de-
feated his election. The conduct of Colonel
Forney, under these circumstances, was such
as to increase hundredfold his claims upon
the Democratic party and the friends of the
Union. lie returned TO his post as editor OF
the Pennsylpanian, and throughout the long
and exciting session his voice was heard above
the tempest of violence and faction, rallying
the friends of the Union, upholding the compro-
mise, and pouring upon the enemies of these
great and paramount principles the indignant
and eloquent denunciations of the true-hearted
patriot.
These things are too well known to need my
dwelling upon them, and it is for those reasons
that say John w. Forney should be the next
Clerk of the House of Representatives. The
country owes it to him for his services, the
Democratic party owe it to him for his fidelity,
and the friends of the Union, and especially the
South, owe it to him for his noble efforts in
behalf of Southern rights as secured by the
Constitution. Could the voice of the people of
Maryland be decisive in this question, Colonel
Forney would assuredly be elected to the office
| have named. We can but hope that the Dem
ocratic party will reward this able and faithful
champion of the Compromise and the Union by
giving him this mark of their respect and APP
prevail. r.
Added to the above, it may not be improper
to state that Col. Forney, at the age of twenty
years, before he was entitled by his majority to
go to the ballot-box, was placed at the head of
an influential Democratic journal in his native
county, which he relinquished to assume the
responsible position he at present so ably fills.

LICENSE TO RETAIL INTOXICATING LIQUoRs.-
With the present week the month of November
expires, and there can after this be no more
traffic in intoxicating drinks, except by those
who obtain new license This can only be pro-
cured by such persons as first obtain the assent
of majority of the housekeepers on both sides
Of the square in which any particular establish
ment is to be located.
We observe that papers are now being freely
circulated for the signatures of housekeepers,
whether men or women. A serious response
blity is thus thrown upon the head of every
homestead-upon the persons who are most
seriously interested in the matter, and who are
of all the most competent to assume such &C
countability. We have no counsels to offer in
the matter. The Mayor and Councils of our
city have acted wisely, and we honor them for
their faithful stewardship. All that now re-
mains is for the fathers and mothers of the city
to take the subject into serious consideration,
and to assent or dissent as their own convictions
of duty may suggest-remembering, however,
that each square is thus made accountable to
the whole city for the character and conduct of
the establishments licensed by the will of its
inhabitants. Think well before you act
THE MEssAGE.-This document is Of extraor-
binary length. After being put in type, it un-
derwent extensive alterations. Rumor says
that it was difficult to adapt it to the views of
Mr.. Webster, so far as to obtain from him even
q hestating sanction. The messengers to de-
posite it at the various post Offices throughout
the country departed this morning They will
leave two copies for each newspaper publisher,
to be given out by the postmasters as soon as
they shall be informed by telegraph Of its pre-
sentation to Congress. Until that hour, no copy
is to leave the Republic Office, where it has been
printed. Even the editors of the Insellioencer
or Union are not to be favored with q copy at
an earlier hour.

From the Richmond Republican,
DOORKEEPER-COL.J J. S. CUNNINGHAM

The meeting of Congress is at hand and we
perceive the usual signs of competition for the
spoils. As Wings, it is matter of but little
interest to us to whom the loaves and fishes are
dispensed. The spoils are entirely in Demo
cratic hands, for the Wings are in such clear
minority that, unless they feed themselves with
patriotism, Wing candidates for appointments
from Congress are very likely to starve Nor
is it our wish to NEEDLE in Democratic family
matters, in which we as Wings are not con-
cerned. But, if it were allowable for US to vol
unteer an opinion, we would simply remark
that among the numerous candidates suggested
for the important place of Doorkeeper to the
U. S. H. of Representatives, we know of no one
who should be so acceptable to the House and his
party as COL j. S. Cunningham. II services to
party constitute claim, the Colonel has labored
so hard and successfully, in his editorial capa-
city, for the Democracy, that they ought to give
him the best vacant berth at their disposal in
sheer gratitude. He has also, what will be o
great merit in their eyes, the eminent quaifca-
ton of martyrdom, having lost his head under
the Ohio woodman, Tom Ewing, who thought,
very nationally in our opinion, that when the
Democracy take off ten heads, the Wings may
be permitted to take one, without mourning the
senseless charge Of prescription. And as, in
taking off Cunningham's head, he still left q
very good one on his shoulders we don't think
the Colonel has much claim to sympathy on
that score. But he deserves well of his par
ty, and he has rendered other and better
services, which induce us to wish him sue
cess in oil his undertakings, and which should
recommend him to the House generally. As
Commissioner of Virginia to the Worlds Fair,
and as one Of the Jurors at that exhibition, he
acquitted himself with the most decided credit
to himself and to Virginia, representing her
with great dignity and efficiency in his official
character, and sustaining by his polished cour-
tesy and candid spirit her high repute for all
that is chivalrous and elevated. He rendered,
indeed, most decided service to the whole
country, when he entered the lists in the col
umns of the London Times, and INDICATED the
national fame of America by setting right the
great Thunderer of the Press upon the question
Of the first ocean steamship, the honor of which
that journal had attempted to wrest from
America and to give to England.
As Democrats must be elected to the offices
at the disposal of Congress, we shall be most
happy to see Colonel Cunningham among the
lucky ones.
