CoThnnaional Cams .ori/On. George ;
11. Pendleton,
In the memorable, debates', towards the
close .of the session oil, 18131,11 W, Pendlen
tomsecooded withal' his might the effort
of Mr. Crittenden. to secure the.adoption
of his amendrhento to the Constitution
which would have averted, the. war and
contintu3drourpeace and prosperity.,
At. the extra sessiop 186.1 7 wbee

increasing the regular army, and authorr.
izing the President. to !call -out unlimited
numbers of . volunteere,, /gr. !Pendleton
aid : .
'fr./desire, sir, to vote for, all measures
asked. for to enable the government to
maintain: its . dignity-And • honor, which
may, be sanctioned •by the Constitution,
and by any reasonable view oft:the neces
sity of the case. I will heartily, sealously,
gladly 'support any honest effort 'to main-,
tam the Union, and reinvigorate , the ties
which bind these States ,together.. But,
sir, I am mot willing to vote for more men
or money than tba,administratiou asks;
more than it. can fairly ,use; mere than
General Seett, who advises and controls
the administration, tells us, he thinks ,ne
cessary. Neither. will I vote for an in
crease of the regular army ; for this up
rising of the people of the North shows
that, our breve and noble volunteers are
ready and able to do the work now to be
done better than regulars can. And
. the
only necessity of incretisinTthe regular
army now, is to give patronage and power
to the 'administration, in the appointment
of of era.
Neither, sir, will I vote for bills of in
demnity to the President ; for bills which
are not intended to relieve the country
from its difficulties, but to cover the acts
and doings of the administration from fair
investigation and honest judgment. Nor
will I vote for the suspension .of those
laws for the protection of personal liber
ty, which the Presideattells us were pass
ed in too great tenderness of the rights
of citizens. Nor will I close my lips, lest
I may speak of usurpations, or corrup
tions and abuses, whichlare said to be rife
'hi this city now4and thegovernmeut may
be thereby weakened. Sir, let the gov
ernment. depend Nulls strength upon the
:integrity of its motives and its adherence
to the Constitution. 1 will vote fer•none
of these measures ; but I _will do what is
fairly necessary, to give, the administra
tion power to maintain the government,
and prevent disaster to its flag."
Mr.Peadleton always manifested a deep
interest in the welfare of the volunteers
of his own State particularly, and of the
whole army generally. At the extrases
sloe. be .offered this' resolution, which was
adopted, placing officers of volunteers es,
the same footing as to pay with officere• of
regulars •
Resolved, That the Committee on mai
' tary affairs be instructed to inquire into
the expediency of providing by late that
officers of volunteers shall be entitled to
receive their pay according to the same
rides and times of payment as officers in
the regular service.
On the 18th of July he introduced a
bill for the relief of volunteers of Ohio,
which gave rise to much discussion, and
which he ably carried through.
On the 31st of July, 1881, he offered
the following:
Resolved; That Congress does hereby
solemnly declare, that, hostilities Against
the so-called Confederate States shall be
so prosecuted as to enforce obedience to
the obligations of the Constitution, and
the laws passed in accordance therewith.

The representativeir of the Democratic

4th of July, some two months later than
the usual time; and afterwards, in con
junction with conservative men of other
parties, had again postponed. the cord

August, thus leaving barely time for the
delegates frotn the distant states, like Or

the election. Under such circumstances
the name of General McClellan, a tiled

and those enterprising sailori, Parra gut,

overthrow the organized and armed re

all the obstacles to success that have been
or may be interposed at Washington.—
But the dischaage of those sacred duties
will not interiors with the careful and in
telligent selection of a new chief magis

war but able to make peace.
There are two men who obviously can

Arrested forDeluxbig Lincoln.
A Mr. M'Lean, of Chicago, while walk
ing by Camp Douglas,, in-that city, on
Friday last, in company with two Repub
licans, when in a reply to a remark make
by one, of them, he said, " Oh d—n Lin
coln." A few moments afterward he re
ceived a tap on the shoulder, followed by
a remark, " you are my prisoner !" and
was dragged to the ' White Gak," a
dungeon infested by spiders, bugs, and
every other conceivable species of vermin.
After reMaining in that loathsorn e dungeon
twenty-fnur hours,
and seeing no chance
of escape, he feigned sickness, sent for the
surgeon of the camp, -and obtained an
examination before the commandant.—
After being compelled to . : answer sundry
impertinent questions, such " Will you
vote for Vallandigham if he is nominated ?"
Jac. be was liberated.
Arrested torlamningLincoin ! That's
the question. It matters not who and
what Mr. M'Lean is, albeit be is raid to be
1m honest, loyal citizen. was simply
guilty of "damning Lincoln!"
How the Tide Runs.
Will the 'Lincoln organs tell ns what it
means when men like John Van? Buren,
and James T. Brady, and C. P. Daly, who
have stretched party bonds to lend a
heartier support to. the administration
while the nation was in distress, now re
fuse to perpetuate its i incompetency by
supporting Lincoln for re-election. The
Union men of April, 1861, are with us.
.Will the Lincoln organs explain. the
similar :decision °fawn like James AL
Brown,, William IL, Aspinwall, „James
-Gallatin, and Hormel H.eDay ; and will
they not tell tis the .eigiiificance of the
breaking up oof loyal leasues,by the de

GEN - Tll=M 'Your invitation to the
meeting to be held in. Washington ' on the
17thinst.,to ratify thetiomfnation of Gen.
firClellan and Pendleton is. but. just re
ceived.
It will be out of my power to be with
you, my stay here for some days longer
being unavoidable. Opposed as I was to
the original election of Mr. Lincoln to the
station he now occupiaa, , from a txonvic
ausrur fib belug unequal to4te Joao% the
manner in which holies met them, has but
confirmed me in ,that• opinion. With ,more
than two millions of soldiers placed in his
hands and an unlimitedamount of taeasure,
his policy and his manner of using his
power, instead of putting the rebellion
down and bringing to ranks the thousands
of Union men who were then in each of
the seceded states, and who, in some, are
believed to out number the rebels, have
but served the itoubte purpose , of uniting
-them against us and of dividing the public
opinion of the loyal states. The effect, of
course, is that uotwittittanding the gallant
deeds - of our army, and navy, and the
manifest justice of our. (*use, the Union is
even more effectually broken now than it
I was when administratien commenced.—
' Whatever of honesty - of purpose may be
long to him, and I
,am witar l to admit
that ho has ' had ft, -- his betrodlatiori, hie
policy, now conservative, now radical, hit
selection of military officers grossly incom
petent, his treatment of those who were
evidently competent, his yielding in this
to what ho , has himself been often heard
to say as an excuse, was, 44 outside press
ure," his having not only nov punished,
but as far saltier public knowi - uurebuked
the- vinialid -excesses of military officers of
his special selection ; • shocking the senti
ment of the world, and disgracing ns in
the view• of Christendom by the burning
of private dwellings, and depriving their
often exclusivelyfemale occupants of home
and means of livelihood—all demonstrate
that he is grossly incompetent to govern
the country in this crisis of its fate.
How can an honorable man believe that
one who has -tom signally failed ; for almost
four entire years, caq_ ,intecelisful if
another fouryears be. 'graiiiga bhp 2 ' No
one in Congress, certainly. - Not twenty
members believe him equal or at all equal
to the mighty taak. He has been tried
and found Wanting.. Let us have a change,
none, if loynk can , be for the worse. It is
not that we, wish to use his own classic
figure to;swap ., horses in the ruidtt Of a
stream, bpi, that,wi t ea we are on a johurney
and safety depends on making our dettins-
Lion at the earliest moment, we should
cast aside a spawned and thin horse, and
secure a sound and active one.
In. Gen. M'Clellan we are furnished—in
the history of his life, in the purity of his
character, his refinement, his attainments
civil and military, and, above all in his
perfect. loyalty—every assurance that, un
der his executive guidance, the war, now
so exhaustive of treasure and blood, will
be soon brought to,n triumphant termina
tion andthis Union which " at all hazards"
be will never agree to surrender, will be
restored.

Why Itti on tOli atit -War' till: not now
Eed. '
The Pittsburgh, Chronicle, a Lincoln
paper, contains the following in relation
to the ,exchange of prisoners :
Nov to enter into the history of 09 8 0
difficulties, which is not our immediate
purpose, the present position of the two
Governments may, be thus briefly stated :
The rebel propion now is to exchange
officer for officer ; and man for man, those
lon'gest in'captivity to be first delivered.
The reply of our government is that these
terms cannot be acceded to unless black
soldiers are included."
Tl/fills what Democratic papers corn
plain of ; that our soldiers are needlessly
and cruelly left in paptivity, on account
of Lincoln's negro policy. !- Let our white
boys be exchanged at. once, and then the
quarrel about negro-equality can go on at
1 leisure. •
Facts for the People.
The people remember that Abe Lincoln.
deprived General McClellan of his com
mand'and gave his army to Gen. Pope.
• Let the people remember that when
Pope was defeated and flying towards
Washington, Abe Lincoln found it neces
'Fairy, to save the Capital, to recall McClel
lan to command.
• Let thee-people remember that McClel
lan did save the Capital by achieving the
two glorious viotones over the invading
foe at South Mountain and Antietam.
Let the people remember that thereup
on Abe Lincoln wrote a letter to McClel
lan giving him " a thousand thanks" for
his victories.
Let the people remember,
also, that
when McClellan had defeated the enemy,
driven them out of Maryland,saved the Ca
pital and quieted the fears of the Presiden
tial buffoon, that Abe Lincoln suspended
him from command.
We bear the most cheering news
of the canvass from the West. A dis
tinguished citizen of Indiana informs as
that there is no doubt at all of the deo
tion of a Democratic governor in that
Mate by fifteen thousand majority in Oo
tober next ; and so popular is the name of
M'Clellan that he is sure to carry Indiana
by at least twenty-five thousand majority.
. ,`On Friday the New York Tribune
quoted against Little Mao and the " Cop
perheads' a most loyal and patriotic ex
tract, which it credited to Stephen A-
Douglas. The extract turned out to be a
part of Gen. M'Clellan's West Point ora
tion. Shoddy was badly sold.
—Two Wisconsin soldiers, wounded in
the battle of the Wilderness, have arrived
tit, Washington from that locality. - They,
by good fortune, fell into the hands of
Union .farmers living near the battle-field,
who nursed and cared for them until they
were restored to health. They state that
numbers of our wounded made their way
to farm houses in the vicinity of the bat
tle-field, but most of them died from sheer
want of medical attendance. Hundreds
of dead lie unburied on the battle-field of
the sth of July fight.
—By making application at the office of
1 1 the Secretary of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, Blanks and Envelops can
be obtained gratis for the use of soldiers,
who may be compelled by circumstances
to vote by proxy. Friends of the soldiers
should at once supply themselves.
—The leading rebel newspapers are
very much exercised about the nomina
tion of McClellan, and declare that his
election would crush the rebellion, be.
cause it woyd divide the sentiment of the
South.
—Elect Lincoln and we sh all have four
more years of war without a 'Union,—
What could have been done in six months
and was not done in four years, cannot be
accomplished in another term by the pre
sent administration. , . We must, therefore,
vote for a change !
—The tyrants at Washington have con
trived another infamy. Some time' since
they commenced the system of branding
rejected volunteers, and now tie have
issued an order recommending t t all the
men put into the army be markid on the
body, like horses, or criminals is savage
nations.
—Hon. O.H. Browning, of Illinois, late
United States Senator, always a staunch
Republican, made a speech for McClellan
at Quincy, on Wednesday. He declared
him to be a statesman, a patriot, and the
best General this war has produced.
---Says the World, we know of a loyal
leaguer an this city who has made bats on
the election with 21 Democrats. These
21 will be eballenged and lose their vote.
This, may be an extensive system of fraud,
and Democrats should refuse all bets.

Gen. McClellan was a poor general, was
