Philadelphia, December 19, 18GC. j
To the Kditor of the Evening Telegraphi
I enclose Colonel Forney's reply to ray Into
letter urging his withdrawal of letter with
drawing an a candidate for the United States
Senate. I can only add my regret that states
men of Colonel Forney's patriotic and unselfish
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 aud conscientiously 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. Go v
ernor Ctutin is fresh from tbo honor of an effi
cient Governor, vindicating the Constitution
and Union. Let all withdraw as candidates In
favor of Colonel Forney, who has "b jrne the
heat and burden of the day," without reward,
aud won the title to high position.

WAsniiGTON, D. C, December 18, 1806. My
Dear Sir: I owe you sincere thanks for your nu
meroue favors. Every hour's reflection convinces
me that I acted rightly in withdrawing as a can
didate for Senator. Indeed, when I remember
what Mr. Btevcns has done for the country, aud
how much better off we should be to-day
if wo had followed bis early counsel, I
am ashamed that I did not take this step
before. There is, besides, another consideration.
Upon the unity, and therefore upon the success
of the great Republican party, depend, in my
opinion, the triumph of the real experiment o'
republican government, and I fear that, adding
myself as an element in the conflict, I might
contribute to such a catastrophe. Rather than
be thus guilty I would consent to forfeit all
hopes of political preferment. I may be mis
taken in these views, but I entertain them sin
cerely, and I believe you will give me credit lor
the motive that has prompted me.
Yours, very truly, John W. Forney.
Wm. Cornell Jewett, Philadelphia.

Oil Paintinoh. We announce with plea-ore
that our friends and lovers ot the beautiful are
aeain to have the rare opportunity of supplying
themselves from the very valuable collection ot
modern oil paintings the auction sale of which
is to be inauguraced this (Wednesday) evonine,
and continued the two lollowing evenings of
the week.
This valuable collection comprises the works
of the leading artists of European schools, and
are to be seen at Bcott'a Ait Giallery, No. 1020
Chesnut street, where they are to be sold. These
pictuies, which are oflered for public com po'.l
lion, are imported direct Irom the studios, 'and
are placed within the reach ot tlioso who can
rightly appreciate their worth, beauty, and
originality, which cannot be questioned.
Many nf our citizens, uo doubt, have long been
anxiously on the look-out for an opportunity
that would enable them to purchase some of
these woiks of art for themselves, or to present
as a gilt to some friend. Tim tbey have been
unable to do at the establishments where such
pieces were ottered lor sale, consequent upon
the euormous rates set upon thou, iiut now, it
they but act upon tho oll'urcd inducements, they
can at onrc pratify themselves by procuring at
reasonubl rates the works of noted artists.
Hie assortment is very select and large for one
of its kind.
Thepi3tures number nearly three hundred,
and comprehend landscapes, marine, figurative,
and cattle tcencs, humorous and pathetic
pieces, which, for expression, conception, aud
composition cannot be surpassed by anything
of their kind in the country. This is an oppor
tunity which should not be unappiectatcd by
our citizens who desire to ornament their homes
with that which is bcautilul and artistic. No
such collection has ever been placed within the
reach ol the public. The enterprise of Mr.
Scott in otleriuii this rare occuion tor the grati
fication ot all lovers of art, is surely to be com
mended. The auction rooms, No. 1020 Chesnut street,
have been fitted up into one of tho finest of art
galleries. The lare and beautiful pictures
ornament the walls and crowd the stands. In
consequence of the importance ot this sale, It
has bten found necessary to issue tickets ot ad
mission, which can be obtained of tho auc
tioneer gratuitously. Remember, to-night aud
the two lollowing evenings, at Snoti's Auction
Rooms, is the place to secure thi'pe beautiful
works of the favorite European artists.
