LETTER FROM WIN. CORNELL JEwETT.
CONTINENTAL HOTEL,
Philadelphia, December 10, 1866

CONTINENTAL HOTEL,
Philadelphia, December 10, 1866.
To the Editor Of the Evening Telegraph'-
enclose Colonel Forney's reply to my late
letter urging his withdrawal of letter with
drawing as a candidate for the United States
Senate. l can only add my regret that states
men of Colonel Forney's patriotic and unseldsh
stamp should be lost to the councils of the
nation at this most critical period in the history
of the republic, and do hope his friends will
press before the Legislature of Pennsylvania his
claims as all paramount. Mr.. Stevens is already
in Congress, battling ably and conscientously for
his country. General Cameron has had Sena-
torial and other honors with how much honor,
let us in all charity draw a curtain over. Gov
ernor Curtin is fresh from the honor Of an eff =
cient Governor, vindicating the Constitution
and Union. Let all withdraw as candidates in
favor of Colonel Forney, who has "borne the
heat and burden of the day." without reward,
and won the title to high position.
WIN. CORNELL JEwETT.
COL. FoRNEY TO WIN. CORNELL JEwETT.
WAsBJNGTo d. c., December 49, 1S66.-My
Dear Sir:-I owe you sincere thanks for your nu'
merous favors. Every hours reflection convinces
me that acted rightly in Withdrawing as a can
didate for Senator. Indeed, when remember
what Mr. Stevens has done for the country, and
how much better off we should be to-day
if we had followed his early counsel,
am ashamed that ] did not take this step
before. There is, besides, another consideration.
Upon the unity aud therefore upon the success
of the great Republican party, depend, in my
opinion, the triumph of the real experiment O.
republican government, and fear that, adding
myself as an element in the conflict might
contribute to such catastrophe. Rather than
be thus guilty would consent to forfeit all
hopes of political preferment. may be mis-.
taken in these We've, but entertain them sin.
cerely, and believe you will give me credit for
the motive that has prompted me.
Yours, very truly, JOHN w. FoRNEY.
