ATTACH ON our RKPoRrxls BY CANDIDATE
FOR THE CLERKsHIP IN THE HOUSE, OF REPRE-
sENrATIvEs.-Mr. John w. Forney, who was de-
feated candidate for the clerkship Of the House Of
Representatives In the last Congress, in order TO
better his cause for the next Congress- recently made
strong democratic speech at the democratic ratif-
cation meeting in Tammany Hall. It was reported
in our columns, as usual; and the first intmaton We
had OF its accuracy being denied, was in some
Southern papers commenting upon. il. After max
ing search for the number of the Pemnsylrawian
containing Mr.. Forney's disclaimer, we at length
found it. The article is as follows

1t is curious enough that Mr.. Forney, though in
this city during the entire day on which his speech
appeared in the HERALD, did not apply to have the
alleged misreport, on the important points to which
he adverts, corrected in this journ ii nor does i.
appear that he made any correction Of them in the
National Democrat, whose report is substantially
the same as our own. This will be seen by the SUBJ

NotiOraI Dtmo0Gf.
The foregoing reports differ somewhat in Ian
guage, and they more or less full in particular
places; but their agreement on the two points on
which Mr.. Forrey impugns the HERALD, is very
remarkable, and must convince every one who reads
them ef the correctness Of both as to the points in
question. 1t is worthy Of note that the Den.ocra.
inserts applause" after the words sit is better to
vote for the worst democrat than for the best
whig," showing that the sentiment was no. only
uttered, but was received with appreciation in
Tammany Hall. The testimony of the National
Domoorat-the local organ Of the party-is sufficient
to convict Mr.. Forney Of falsehood The whole tenor
Of his speech convcts him. The following Strip
ton, copied from transparency at the meeting, both
into the HERALD and the Democrat, is strong cor.
roborstiye evidence to convict him, inasmuch as 1t
indicates the platform of the meeting, and the tone
Of the speeches.
