The following text is presented here in complete form, as it originally appeared in print. Spelling and typographical errors have been preserved as in the original.
Election of Mr. Forney.

Faithful among the faithless, Mr. FORNEY has stood like adamant against the Lecompton fraud, when even Douglas and the whole Western Democracy succumbed.
