Hon. John W. Forney is doing noble
service in unmasking the hypocrisy of the
men who are laboring hard in the interes Is
of the Southern Confederacy, by endeavor-
ing to build up an anti war party in the
fee States. We copy the following para
graph from late letter of his from Wash
ington:
With one accord, the Brec kinr idge part
sans endorse the late Address Of the Demo
cratic members Of Congress- already opposed
in this correspondence, 10hich does not con-
t an single aLI1tsion OF commentator of the
seLsacrifcing soldiers Of the Repu6hc.-
This address is their platform. Standing
upon this platform, they will toll for such
a restoration OF the Union as will bring
back the traitors in all their strength to the
-Federsl councils. There is not an argu-
ment that Breckinridge used before be went
inte the rebel army, that is not now used
by them. Ancona, the Berks county repre-
sentative in Congress, votes against the ad-
ministering of the oath of allegiance to the
sympathizers with the rebels in the free
States.
johnson, of Northampton, another rep
resentative of the same school, votes against
any compensation to the brave colored pilot
Robert Small, and his gallant crew, who
carried a valuable steamer from under the
guns of Fort Sumter and placed it in the
hands of Commodore Dupont. Charles J.
Biddle denounces the war as Back Re-
publican job, and in his very last speech in
the House stigmatizes this great G Jvern-
ment, and the American people, even as
they exhibit such marvellous resources in
the midst of war, as the "sick man " of
the American continent. james Buchanan
exultingly predicts that our heroic " SOL
ders in the South will be swept off like
rotten sheep" His organ, the Lancaster
Intelligencer, derides ParsOn Brownlow as
an " Abolition fool" Francis W. Hughes,
of Schuykill, the leader of the Breckinridg-
ers in that county, borrows his logic against
the war from the messages of Jefferson Da-
Wis. The speeches of Mr. voorhees,, of In
diana, of Mr.. Vallaudigham, of Ohio, and
of Mr.. Ben Wood, of New York, are copied
and commanded by this same class of news
papers. Not man elected under such in
huences to the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
or to the next Congress of the United States,
but will follow the lead eff these oracles.-
However they may pledge themselves be-
fore the people, their votes will be against
the war and the Administration.

True Grit i'm Old jackson.
While the utmost unanimity prevails in
all parts of Indiana among the friends OF
the unconditional Union movement, the
6th-of- January folks, falsely calling them
selves the " Democracy" are in many places
far from being harmonious. 1t is found to
be an uphill business to lead old Democrats
into a 6islOval organization, or into epgag-
ing in mere party movements, when the
very existence of the country is endangered.
In jackson county, this patriotic element,
failing 10 obtain an expression against trail
tors, withdrew from the Convention. We
copy from the official proceedings the fol-
lowing

as substitutes for the foregoing resolutions,
the following:
WHEREAS, jesse D. Bright wrote the fol-
lowing letter, for which he was expelled
from the United States, to- wit:
WASHINGTON, March l, 1861.
My Dear Sir Allow me to introduce
to your acquaintance, my friend, Thomas
B. Lincoln, of Texas. He visits your Capt.
tai mainly to dispose of what be regards as
a great improy ement in firearms.
recommend him to your favorable con-
spectability, and reliable in every respect.
Very truly yours,
JESSE D. BRIGHT.
To his Excellency, Jefferson Davis, Presi-
dent of the Confederation of States.
AND WHEREAS, Jesse D. Bright did, in a
speech in the United States Senate, say that
if expelled, he would appeal to the people
of the State of Indiana in vindication of the
act; therefore,
ResoEOed, That the Democracy of Jackson
county cannot indorse the acts OF any one
claiming to be Democrat, however high
may be his position in public life, when
such acts show any sympathy with the
Southern rebellion, aud that we will not
support for representation to the State
Legislature any candidate who does not an

loting is had, to-wIt:
will you, if elected to the Legislature,

the committee on resolutions were out.
In their absence the delegates from the
respective townships met separately and
