FoRSEY TuRSED PEorHrr-Hs Predicts the
Election of Montgomery. Forney's Press,
by yesterdays mail, We find the following para
graph, which we reprint for the amusement of
our Washington and Greene county renders
Forney certainly don't know the man, and the
estimation in which he is held, or he would not
say that ono where in this broad Union has
any Representative stronge hold upon the af,
fections of his constituency" than Montgomery!
| Isn't it rich-decidedly rich-tota about the
affection" of the people for Bill Montgomery!
Here is the extract
Our readers must not think we have forgotten
William Montgomery and his struggle for re-
| election in the Washington, Greene and Fuyette
Congressional district; nor will they be displeas
! ed, we know, when We tell them that he will
/ triumph. Though some parts of his record do
please the Republicans, yet his daring deport-
ment and his eloquent arguments in favor of
the right in the House have rallied men of all
parties to his standard, and especially the "un-
official Democrats" which means thei mass of
the party. Few men have been more basely
traduced than Montgomery, and yet, nowhere
| in this broad Union has any Representative
a stronger hold upon the affections of his con.
stituency, He will sit in the new House and in
the new Congress, sure, for another term.

How DOUGLAS MAY BE ADMITED.-The great
Pope of the Democratic party through his organ,
announces that he will forgive Mr.. Douglas and
receive him back into the party, if he will repent
and believe in him. The Washington Union
of the 5th inst, thus states the terms on which
he may be again received into favor and fellow
ship:
Wepropose compromise, and, MS much as
we distrust compromises generally, we shall be
prepared to stand by it. /. That he shall first
be disarmed; IL, that he shall be reduced to the
ranks; I'LL, that he shall be compelled to read
all his speeches since the opening of the last
session OF Congress and rchearse his conferen-
ces with the black republican leaders in this
city; w, that he shall utterly ALLURE the terms
so common in his addresses, My principles
"Ihe Douglas party &C., and, if it were not
mixing matters up too much, we would also
suggest that while the Chicago Times talks so
well about the voice Of the Democracy of Hi
nois and the independence of our Senator, that
journal might, with great propriety, say less
about the dictation of q Democratic President,
his cabinet, the Senate and House of Represent
tatives. We respectfully submit to the Times,
for instance, that the President, the cabinet the
democrats of the two houses of the national
legislature, all the State organizations, except
Illinois, ought to have more weight even than
the Mr.. Senator Douglas, in deciding what is,
and what is not democratic.

CARD FROM COLONEL FoRNEY-John w.
Forney, Esq, publishes in his own paper, the
Philadelphia Press, ofwcdnesday, the following
''card:"
"When Ispoke to the electors at Tarrytown,
n Y. did so upon the deliberate expectation
that from the impenitent calutninator and con-
vict of the New York Herald, down to the
pensioners of the Washington U1iOn, would
be abundantly traduced and misreprcsented. An
Administration which assisted, not inconsid-
erably, to elevate to the power which it has
hasely abused, has not hesitated to make an
honest difference of opinion the pretext for
prescription extended to my business and to
my most intimate relations; and am not sur
Rrised at the spirit which my remarks at
Iarrytown have created in that quarter. This
is to state that I shall. calmly await the accumu-
lation of all the accusations of the Administra-
ton and its agents, when, in my own way, and
in my own good time, will prove all that /
have written and spoken us to the gross betray-
al of great principle and a solemn pledge, and
still further establish the justice and strength
of the position of the Press and of myself
PRIzE F1Gnr1Ne. English courts regard prize
fighting as triRing oefense, and the ring by
many is regarded school for the cultivation
of the raw material for army purposes. Re.
Gently, James Morris was tried in London, for
killing an antagonist in the ''ring." The judge
said the jury had simply performed their duty
in finding him guilty Of manslaughter but it
was only necessary to punish him for being in a
fight and he sentenced him to two months inn
