HON. GEO. II. PENDLETON,

car Sec Mr. Buucai.ew's caustic let
ter in another column, to Col. Grimshaw,
about sending ''Bogus Union tickets" to
the Army. It concludes that subject, and
strikes off ono more electioneering false
hood from the Republican list.
E An incorrect, garbled aud dishon
est report of the Rantz trial was published
last week in tho Philadelphia litqituer,
and was reproduced this week in the col
umus of tho Columbia County Republican.
It omits nearly the wholo of the evidence
for tbc.Defoudant, nnd gives imperfectly
the evidence for tho prosecution; audit
wholly omits to notice tho fact that lead
ing points of accusation paraded in the
charges and Mated as sworn to on the
Irial, were flatly contradicted and disprov
ed. We shall iu duo time review the
testimony, as really taken in thi and the
i,:hcroaso3, and expose thoroughly the
U'sclit'Ods published concerning them.
ESir The trial ol Daniel MoIIenbv.
ono of the prisoners Irom this County, was
fixed for last Tuesday at Uarrisburg.
His witnesses went down for the second
timo, one hundred miles at heavy espouse,
but tho case v.as postponed until after
the election. No day for another appear
ancc was fixed, but it may bo Tburdity,of
next week. The Defendant was anx'cus
for trial, for whipli ho has been waiting
four week , but the tho Judge Advojate
was not ready. Iu fact that offiecr wjs
heard to declare in language moro strong
than clcgantithat his evidence against Ale
Henry was not worth a d m. The delay
of this tiial only postpones a littlo tho full
explosion of tho inipoituro of ''Knights ol
tho Golden Ciiclc" or Secret Oath-bound
Societies to resist the draft, whioh never
havirg auy existence in this county, can
not endure an investigation even before a
Military Comm issioi).
The Case of John Rantz.
As promised last week, wo print in full
upon our first page tho plea of John
Rants, to tho jurisdiction of tho Military
Commission beloro which ho was tried at
Ilariisburg, and also repiiut, in connec
tion thrrctvith, our articlo of last week
upon the general objections to military
trialsof citizens. We invito tho careful
.attention of all our readers to those arti
rles as furnishing a complete demonstra
tion of the illegality aud injustice ofmilitary
trials for alleged ''conspiracy" or "sedi
tion," now for the first time inaugurated in
this country in open defiance of frco prin
ciples and of the most solemn guaranties of
tha Constitution of tho United Slates.
Another Republican Riot.
Tho Democracy of Philadelphia had a
grand torchlight precession on Saturday
night last, which extended, it is said, four
miles in length. While the procession
was passing the Lincoln League and other
prominent places of the Shoddjitcs, tbpy
were fired upon by roWilcs, and stones,
&o. Several of tho banners wero smashed
in. and one man, an inoffencivo democrat
named James Campbell, was killed. Ik
was an old man 95 years of ago. Demo
crats aro never guilty of suoh a black-
guardisin and brugulity ;but the timo is not j
fardittant, wc fear, wncn tne lawless dan
gers on of this administration will cause
tho streets of all our towns and cities to be
deluged in blooil. Democrats will not
'much longer seo their friends and neigh
bors murdered in cold blood, without
retaliating.
The Qui stion Settled. For tho
benefit of the Pittson Gazette and its con-
freors in this district, as well as certain
eanguino modern Republicsus, wo here

Ketchum is not elected to .

Falsehoods for the Election.

with littlo falsehoods In viewtof tho Eloo-
tioo.
1. Tbnt MoOlollati first suggested tlio

U. S. conscrlptoa. It Is not true . It was
a State proceeding and not ono by tho
United States which was in question when
he hold command. Nobody over denied
jibe power of tlio States to mnko drafts.

to tho cases of our arrested citizens, tho
e .1 ..-.. i .
fertility of tho Republican ... pro. ue.ng
"tho thiug which is not," is wonderful,
1. That twenty fivo of tho prisoners
brought to llarrisburg fo. trial had "ap

had so "afl'ectsd'' tho Military Commis
sion that qpon their presenting themselves j
and "manifesting a desire to tuko the oath
of allegiance," they had been sworn aud
parollcd to go home.
This budget of falsehoods is copied from ,
the Inquinr, and then tho substance fcr-
ved up again in an editorial. Now tho
truth is, that tho Military Commission
had nothing to do with discharging the'

In Wikconsin the Demooracy aro mak
ing a very active and vigorous canvass,
and largo accessions are reported in near
ly every part of the State. In tho t'on
grctsional elcotion of 1 802, the Republican
candidates wero bcafu about nineteen
hundred in the aggregate voto (including
soldiers) of the State. Michigan is in a
stato of political commotion. In 1802 the
Republicans wero successful by about
0,000 in a total voto of 131,000. We
hear from there that the stand the vener
able and influential Gen. Cass has taken
in behalf of MuClollan, has produced a
fino effect, and that there is good prospect
of a Democratic victory on the 3-u.
Wo say to tho true friends of the Con
stitution and the Union, that tho chances
of Gen. McClcllan's election arc not only
fair, but highly flattering. Wo can over
come the influences of official vaunlity,
can beat back tho oorrupt gang of polit
ical hyenas, can triumph over braggadocio
aud intimidation, if the lovers of good

rejoice over the telliug points to be made
ngaiust the ''Cor perhcads," who had been I
so impertinent aud presumptuous as to I
nominate a candidate to displace King
Abraham from tho tlirono ho has occupied
sicoe March 4, 1801. It was not long
however before they began to get uneasy
for the long looked ..for crowd had not
mado its appcaranco. Long timo theyhcst ti, DOssiblu failure ofsucb an enter-

tleman of A frioan descent," came to tho
concluiiion that tho pcoplo were not com
ing. So the meetitig was organized. The
speaker was introduced. Aud to tho dis-
uiiit of tho abolitionists aud the deliebt of
the democrats, (who constituted half the
audience,) their Orator did not say a com-
plimcntary woid for poor "Old Abe,"
but during his discourse ho said that Mc
Clellan wao a Scholar, a Gontlcman and
a patriotio General,
Tho meeting was a long ono for tbcui.
They retired okop-fallcn and discontented
to their homes without oven a cheer. D
is no uso gentlemen, tho pcoplo won't

You would save time,trouble and cxponjo,
