New Democratic Forces.

The Senatorial election in Penn

presence in the State House, q,
Harrisburg, Of an armed mob; sen,
down from Philadelphia and gather

pose OF intimidating members OF the
Legislature to vote for the Demo.
cratic nominee. Among them i,
was the open boast, that the Demo
cratic member who dared to vote
different from the wishes OF this arm
ed mob, would be a dead man in
!ess than twenty lour hours. This
was the kind OF popular rule which
was adopted by the special champi.
ons OF the right to promulgste trea
son in the time ot war in the North,
without interference by the military
or arbitrary arrests. The plea Of
the mob, was to prevent the bribery
OF the members! Such an election
was a mockery, by 9 deliberative
body Of the Keystone state.
The same practice il seems has
been introduced at Albany, though
not with the same excuse. The
House is evenly divided, hence the
party that elects the Spe .ker must
do it by catching the other side nap
ping or by securing one or more oi
their vote. But Sey mourwss elected
Governor, hence it il claimed they
have right to the organisation OF the
House. Who ever heard of such a
claim when the case was reversed 2
No man. The plea has no founda
tion, and should have no weight

A Just Rebuke.

New YoRK, January 30 1863
The Herald ssys letter from it,
correspondent with the Army of the
Potomac. states that The army is IN
der marching orders, with three
days rations. Five pontoon bridge:
have been thrown across the Kappa
hammock some distance apart.
Lees army 10 composed of eight
large divisions. Stonewall Jackson
commands the right and Longstreei
the left, comprising five divisions. -
These divisions are apparently a
little stronger than ours, comprising
a greater number Of brigsdes and
regiments. 1t is uncertain whether
their total strength equals ours.
A desperate struggle is evidently
near. Stirring news may be expect
ed shortly.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has a
Port Royal lettsr Of the 18th, stating
that six deserters from Fort Sump-
Ter, (Chsrleston,) bad arrived aboard
the blockading vessels, and reported
that most OF the garrison threw
down their arms, refusing to fight
under the Confederate flag.
They were half famished, and
their families were in want owing
to the non receipt of pay. Other
troops came and obliged them to re-
turn toduty. Dissatisfaction among
the rebel troops is widespread. -

JEFF. and his Northern Attorneys.

In the speech which Jeff. DAVIS
lately delivered on his return to
Richmond, there is one very signif
icsnt passage:
In the West, too. at Mur'rees
boro, you have gained a victory over
a host. vastly superior to our own
in number. You have achieved a
result there as important, as brilliant
as that which occurred on the soil of
Virginia and cotemperaneously at
Vicksburg,. where they were strug-
Cling to get possession OF the great
artery, the control of the Mississippi
river, to answer the demands OF the
North West. ln every combat there
they have been beaten, aud | trust
they will be beaten in future. Ont
Of this victory is to come that disat.
isiaction in the North West, which
will rive the power OF that section;
and thus We see in the future the
dswn-tirst, sepsrlt,on of the North
Wost from the Eastern states, thcn
dscord among them, which will par
alize the power OF both; then for us
future peace and prosperity"
Remembering that jeff when he
used this language, had not yet seen
the message OF Horatio Seymour,
with its labored attempt to create
the "discord" between Eastern aud
North Western States, which "shall
paralyze the power OF BOTH" does it
not seem evident jeff. knew Just
what to expect and has a perfect un
derstanding with bis Northern
friends" as to the policy they shall
pursue in iurthercnce Of rebel inter-
estsl But jeff is indiscreet- --fortu
nately 50 for the country. I. were
wisdom in him not to so openly ex.
pose his connection with this Tory
intrigue, bnt leave his Northern At
torneys to manage the business
themselves.

Congress did but little to-day. In
the Senate, Powell and Wright had
a long debate, as to what constitu
ted loyalty among the Democratic
party. The latter vehemently de-,
nouneing that portion which had
triumphed in the late elections, and
predicting, that II the South suc.
ceeded, it would be owing moro to
Northern than Southern traitors. -
The debate attracted quite a large
attendance.
