In looking over the Democratic ioum-

suit of the Convention at Harrisburg, be-
came known, we find most gratifying
unanimity OF sentimentpervading them i'll

no Democratic journal that we have yet
met with has withheld its endorsement Of
the resolutions and the general policy
adopted by the Convention. Where there
has been any disapprobation, 1t has pro-
ceeded from those journals, which have
been openly arrayed against, or covertly
opposing the national administration, al
though still claiming to belong to the
Democratic party. AT the head of these
stands Forney's Pres, the most unscrupu-
lous Of all the guerilla newspapers of the

The Forney Convention.

As might have been anticipated, the dis
organizers that have infested the Demo
cratic party for q year and half have
called n Convention to meet at Harris
burg, ON the 10Th Of April, to ayenge the
refusal of the Democratic Convention to
endorse Coy. PACKER. This is partly avow-
ed, while the additional pretence Of Anti
Lecomptonism is offered But the truth
is, that it is only in pursuance Of the set
tied line of policy Of the unscrupulous
Forney, TO embarrass and if possible, de-
feat the Democratic party of Pcnnsylva-
MIA, and thus add another to the list Of
his acts of base ingratitude towards his
benelactor, the President. Nothing was
farther from the intention of I orney and
his satellites, than to acquiesce in the ac-
ton Of the Democratic State Convention.
r. the refusal to endorse Gov. PACKER,
about whom, oy-the-way, Forney don't
care a baubee had not occurred, some
other objection would have been made to
tion" would have been called all the same
That measure was fiXed fact long before
the Convention met, and only awaited its
close to be heralded in the pomp and pa
rade of long lists of names, and high
sounding phrases, intended to oyerwhelm
the masses with all the sophistry and dis.
play its projectors could command. The
best evidence of this is that the call iAsued
as soon rs the Convention had adjourned,
and before time sufficient had elapsed to
consult with any of the leaders Of their
faction, if indeed, it has any beside "the
man Forney" from the several sections Of
the State.
But to Democrats, there is nothing
alarming either in the Forney Manifesto,
Or the array OF names appended to it.
Very few if any of these men acted with
the Democratic party in the last cam
paign, while numbers of them opposed the
nominees of the party. What else then
can be expected of men who have deter
mined upon hostile course upon some
pretence or another? The sooner these
''Jule or ruin" men assume their real po
sition before tle people. the sooner W.
will get rid of them and even if at tn,

A RELIC OF THE PAsT.-We have had
presented to Us by friend, an interesting
relic of by-gone days in the shape OF
copy of the United States Gazette, publisaad ed
ut Philadelphia, in IL As an index Of
the events, there transpiring and the sen.
timents of one of the political organaa-
tions of that day, it is peculiarly interest
ing, while it is equally curious as n speci-
men of the newspapers Of the carly part Of
the present century. 1t gives the news oi
the day, being letter Of the Commission
ers at Ghent, who were then in confer
ence at that place, the dispatches from
the Chesapeake Squadron, and the result
of the election in Philadelphia, at which
the Federal party has been, it seems, VIC
torious. And the Gazette eXults over the
triumph, much in the same style which
forty five years later, it would do now if
the opportunity offered, with however,
the exception, that it has long since dis"
carded the name of "Fedcralist,' y though
under what name it would now boast II
victory, we would be at loss to guess
In those primitive times men were homes
enough to call things by their rue names,
and take consequences but Federalism
! became too odious to be avowed, and poll
cy required n name less obnoxious, assum-
ed only to be dropped and another sub
stituted as soon as the people detected the
old spirit in the new dress. Its size is in.
significant in the extreme, being really a
mere 10y 10, such as would be now re,
garded as too diminutive to be regarded
as worthy the name of newspaper, printed
on the coarscst paper. and leaving the
reader to gather its place of publication
from its advertisements. Truly in noth-
ing has the world made greater progress
in the last half century, than in the art Of
printing,

Mr.. EpIror:-In tha Philadelphia Press
of the 2Sth inst find my name attached
to a call for convention at Harrisburg on
the 18th of April. This has been done
without my knowledge or authority, and
| therefore wish it plainly understood and
distinctly remembered, by Mr.. Forney and
his faction, that :, for one. have no desire
to become conspicuous by an association
with disorgani-ers. However may have
differed with some of my Democratic
friends as to the expediency of certain Ma
tional and State measures, have never al
lowed that difference to drive me into Bit
ter denunciations.o those whose honesty
of purpose | have no reason to question.
There has already been a Convention
held in Harrisburg, 10y delegates regular
ly chosen by the people, 10 which IgiUe
nly unqualified endorsement, and thefore cans
not consent to Kansasize Pennsylvania
by q plurality of conventions, called,
merely to crafty few restless spirits, to
whom Paridiso without office, would
prove npVgatory. No democrat should
encourage this base attempt to break
down the rarty. 1t is deep laid plot of
of the opposition, aided and abetted by
democratic deserters, with which | claim

that pervaded the majority.
