Secretary Stanton sent to Col. Forney the following
congratulatory letter about the result of the election in Pennsylvania:—
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14th,
1863.
To John W. Forney,
Esq.
Thanks for your telegram.
All honor to the Keystone State!
She upheld the federal arch in July, and with steel and cannon-shot
drove the invaders from her soil; and now, in October she has again rallied for
the Union, and overwhelmed the foe at the ballot-box.
EDWIN M. STANTON.
