1t is our sincere desire to see the Democracy of
pennsylvania once more united and working ha1-

Cause We have nothing to gain, but, on the
contrary, everything to lose, by quarreling among
ourselves Had we the power to heal the dis
sensions which exist in our ranks, we would
willingly do so, and let the dead past bury its
dead. But Forney and his aids appear to be
fatally bent on mischief they treat the prin-
ciples, the usages and the nominees of the party
with contempt, and openly ayow their intention
to play into the hands of the Black Republicans
during the campaign which has just opened. To
continue to treat them, to recognize them. as
Democrats under the circumstances, would be
to initiate the conduct Of the man who warmed

nought its principles and usages, and are endea-
vollng to sell it to the Black Republicans for a
price. If it continues to confde in them, it will
not be long until it will discover that it is pow
eress in its own defence, and at the mercy of the
enemy. If Forney & Co. wish to 90 over to the
enemy, let them "stand not upon the order of
their gong, but go at once" Let them cease

edge that they enemies of the Democratic
party. After they have all left. the Democracy
Will still be powerful organization. But even
though only handful should remain, they VOID
be sufficient to preserve the principles of the
party, and constitute nucleus around which
would soon form an organization upholding the
doctrines Of jefferson and jackson, and which
would soon again secure the administration of
the government on Democratic principles.

HORTICULTURAL ExHIBIrIoN.-The exhibi-
tion tables Of the Cincinnati horticultural
Society are snowy sight every week. It's
rich clusters of grapes, luscious and fragrant
fruits, novel and many-hued flowers, remind
one of the Cornucopia, or the Horn of Plenty.
These choice specimens assure us Of an in
creasing interest in our people to procuring
the best. How soon will it be when their
prices at our markets will be within the reach
of the ordinary purse? Fl uits are better
than medicine. True Americans ought to be
getting back to the innocency of Eden, and
the abundance and excellency of its fruits.
The flower and fruit exhibition will open
next Tuesday at the Palace Garden, on the
west sile of Vine-street, above Fourth-street.

FIRE AND BugaLAR-pRooP SAYE.--Messrs.
Hall, Carroll & Co. have on exhibition, at the
Mechanics Fair, safe, which surpasses any
thing of the kind ever brought before the public.
The whole weight of this mammoth work of in
genuity, is seven tuns. 1t has three doors.
On the inner door-which is styled burglar
proof, and is three and q quarter inches In
thickness, and lined with steel--is attached one
OF Halls Patent Combination Locks, the price
Of which is $3.50. On tho middle door is an
other patent lock, the price being $3.50. This,
too, like the burglar-proof door is lined with
steel. Attached to the outer door is a $1OO
patent lock. The handles of the locks are
plated silver. The woodwork on the inside,
Of which there is little, is mahogany, and is
beautifully polished. By breaking off the
handles Of any of the doors, you are as far ad-
vanced toward getting inside, as if the handles
were on.
A plate of steel guards the outside work
ing of the lock from the inner, yet, by means
of mechanical ingenuity, they are SO ar
ranged that with the key, and that only, the
door and lock, inside and out, are under con-
troll. The safe is five feet ten inches high,
and five feet two inches wide. The bolts are
round, being a decided improvement on the
old style of bolts; on the outer door there are
Blk bolts--one on top, another on the bottom,
and four on the side-the painting on the
safe is highly artistic in execution, and at
tracts great deal of attention. We were as
sured by the makers that this safe stands un-
equaled, being the nc plus ultra of anything
of the kind known. Bankers and merchants
should not fail to examine this piece of
mechanism, as we feel assured all will unite
in pronouncing it safe safe.

- ATTACHMENT DIssoLvED-J. r. Morton & Co. vs..
H. sterritt Judge Storer, in this case disposed of
an application on the part Of defendant to dissolve
an Injunction. The allegation in the petition of the
plaintiff Chat defendant was about to dispose of his

ana In this class of the Court always considered
the denial equivalent to the affirmation, and held
that the party unless lie introduced further evidence

process The testimony here did not prove any posi-
tive wrong, or anything like fraud but desire on
the part OF defendant to retain his property in his
possession. None of the witnesses state that there
was anything in his conversation or conduct that
could lay the foundation for belief that any course
was intended by him by which the creditors would
De deprived Of the benefit Of the property that Mr.. S.
had at tho time.
Some stress had been laid on the fact that he had
paid off his BROTHER but If this was done in good
faith, he hid the legal right to pay off any of his
creditors, and might have supposed his brother sus-
tained moro confidential relation than others.
Another point urged, was that he did not make an
assignment. The Court had no power to compel
him to do so; no right unless something like
trust was created to take possession Of the property
and then clear case must be made out. They
would, however, advise an assignment to be made
