The gentleman entertained the audi
ence for nearly two hours with one of
Cs p able and characteristic addresses, in
which he dismissal the political ques
tions now before the people with much
candor and ability, arutrisantekwai.rnan
ner as to receive the approbation of
the , entire t audience assembled to
hear him. He showed in what
manner the present administration
has departed from its old professions,
and instead of restoring peace, Union
and prosperity to the nation, they are
now carrying on a bloody and fratricid
al war for the abolition of slavery. He
believed-that peace could never be ob
tained without a cessation or hostilities,
and by a judicious recourse to arguments
and facts, he proved the truth of his as
sertion to the entire satisfaction of his
hearers. The audience was most atten
tive throughout the entire proceedings,
and manifested an enthusiasm well wor
thy of his patriotic address.
The Gazette, yesterday very truly oh
served of the late election:
'There were enough remained athoins at the
last election to have given us the State. had
they voted, by 10.003 majority on the hum,
vote.
This vote must be got out. We have faith
that it will be got out. But earnest systematic ,
wore: will be required to bring it out fully.'
There is no doubt but that the tell
thousand mentioned, had they come to
the polls and voted the Abolition ticket,
would have given that party the State:
but they didn't come, nor will they in
the coming contest. All the increased
vote cast at the coming election, will
be for McClellan. He is twenty thou
sand votes stronger thatt!bur local can
didates were, while Lincoln is confess
edly weaker than his party. This we
intend to demonstrate by what the Ga
tette aptly terms "eartrest systematic
work."
Send Tickets to the Army.
We must urge upon Democrat:,
throughout the State to send electoral
tickets to every soldier in our armies
whose name and address they can know
or ascertain.
Many a good Democratic vote will be
lost to us if this precaution is neglected
It is impossible for our communities,or
for any political organization whatev
er, to compete with the Government
machinery or distribution; much less
can we compete successfully with it
when all means are used by the War
Department, most unscrupulously, to
exclude Democratic ballots, and to im
pede the agents sent on to distribute
them.
The following dispatch from Harrisburg
gives the official home vote. The op
position, after two weeks blustering are
at length constrained to acknowledge
the defeat. All that is now required to
insure the electoral vote of the State for
our candidate, George B. McClellan,
union and energy of action. Let every
Democrat join in one great effort for the
redemption of the country from despo
tism and misrule :

Comm, Belt. 1884.
To our Fortner Cromrades in Arms:—
The undersigned, officers and privates,
late of the Army of the Union, earnestly
beg your attention to the momentous is
sues now beforelinrcountry. - The pop
ular voice, against the wishes.of the
scheming politicians has placed-in nom
ination for the Presidency, our old and
beloved Commander General Geo. B
McClellan. It has thrilled the great
heart of the peoplc, with new 'l3dpe for
the salvation or our imperiled Union
under the Constitution, the great aim of
all your sacrifices in the camp, the
hospital and on the field.
Deprived of his command, refused
even the request to share the fate of his
army on the battle field. Villifled, per
secuted, as McClellan has been, he is
to-day as devoted to the great cause of
his country, as her was when at Rector
io xi); he bade us farewell in the words
,11 we shall ever be comrades in sup
porting the Constitution of one country,
and the Nationality of its people."
Since our return amongst the people, we
have found that partizan malice has
misrepresented him to the army. He i
not the favored candidate or the Val
landighams and the Woods, or of any
"pence on any terms" faction, as his
letter of acceptance will abundantly
prove. Re says therein, "the nomina- -
tion comes to me unsought." "When
the nomination was made, the record of
my public life was kept in view." "The
preservation of the Union was the sole
avowed object for which the war was
commenced. It should have been con
ducted for that object only." The re
establishment of the Union in all its in
tegrity is and must continue to be the
indispensable condition in any settle
went." "The Union is the one condi
tion of peace, we ask no more." "Tue
non must be preserved at all haz
ards." "I could not look in the face
my gallant comrades of the army and
navy, who have survived so many
bloody battles and tell them that their
labors and the.sacrifice of so many slain
and wounded brethren had been in vain ;
that we had abandoned that Union for
which we have so often periled our
lives."
This is the language of a patriot, and
worthy of your brave /eathr on the Pis
insula, at South Mountain and Antie
tam.
Clarion county, which gave 800 ma
iority for the right of the soldier to vote,
will give 1500 majority for "soldier's
friend. ' •Will you not assist us In the
contest with your votes?
If you will, join our ranks for the pre
liminary struggle of the October election,
which carried, ensures the victory in
the great battle of November. This
will - give you back your old command
er," fully competent to conduct the war,
and to crown all your efforts by closing
it with an honorable peace, on the basis
of the old Union.

The folloWing letter explains eo clear:
1 1Y and definitely the views of our Dem--
ocrati ',candidate for the Vice Prebi•
denoy in - regard to the Union, that it
say doubts existed iiratty rational mind
upon the subject, they must now be die
_pelled forever:
CrNcrzarari, Out. 17, 1804.
MY DEAR SIR: Lbave received your
friendly letter. Malignant misrepresen
tations ancl falsehoods are so frequent
in our political struggles, that. I have
rarely undertaken to correct or refute
them.
I make no professions of a new faith,
and only repeat' hay reiterated profes
sions of an old one, when I say that
there is no one who cherishes a greater
regard for"the Union—who has a higher
sense of its 'inestimable benefits—who
would more earnestly labor for its res
toration by all means which will effect
that end than myself.
The Union is the guarantee of the
peace, the power, the prosperity of this
people, and no man would deprecate
more heartily, or oppose more persist
ently, the establishment of another gov
ernment over any portion of the terri
tory ever within its limits.
1 am in favor of exacting no condi
tions—insisting upon no terms tot pre
scribed in the Constitution, and I am
opposed to any course of policy which
will deleat the re-establishment of the
Government upon the old foundation,
and in its territorial integrity.
I am, very truly, yours &c.,
GEORGE H. PENDLETON.
Hon. John B. Raskin, New York.
So, also, in reference to the slanderous
misrepresentations of Mr. Pendleton's
votes for supplies of the army and navy,
the following letter, to the Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Committee
of Pennsylvania, furnishes a complete
refutation. The falsehoods so industri
ously inculcated against Mr. Pendleton
amongst the soldiers of our armies, must
DOW yield to the force of truth, plainly
spoken by one whose unspotted integ
rity and truthfulness has never yet been
questioned, even by his enemies, how
ever they may seek otherwise to malign
land disparage him :
CiiicifulAn. Oct. 18, 1864.
HON. C. L. WARD; Philadelphia: Mr
DEAR Sra:—l have Ter:Lived your let
ter. In the very beginning of this war,
in the first days of the extra session of
1861, I said, in my place in Congress,
that I would vote for all measures nec
essary to enable the Government to
maintain its honor and dignity, and
prevent disaster toils flag. I have done
80.
I thought that by the adoption of such
measures the faith of the Government
was pledged to the troops in the field,
and must not be forfeited by inadequate
supplies. I never gave a vote which
was incompatible with this sentiment.
All appropriations pure and simple,
for the support and efficiency of the
army and navy had my cordial concur.
rence. It was only when they were
connected with other and improper ap
propriations; when by reason of their
•popularity, they were loaded down with
traudulent items for the benefit of con
tractors or speculators, and every at
tempt to separate them failed; when they
were made a stalking horse for some
Abolition scheme, that I was constrain
ed reluctantly to vote against the whole
bill.
But I repeat, that I voted against no
bill which was confine.' simply to the
object of supplies for the army and the
navy. I am very truly, yours,
GEO. H. PENDLETON.
The Response of the Republican
It is creditable to the Ton-es, Tribun e,
and Evening Post, that notwithstanding
their warm partisanship they had not
the conscience in yesterday's issues to
indorse Mr. Lincoln's scandalous letter
to the loyal Tennessetians. The two
former published it without comment,
but the latter did not even give it a place
in its col•tmns. The C , ) , nmercial Aci
verti.er, which certainly is not a Dem—
cratic paper, but give hi• verdict of all
lair-minded men when it says:
"Had Governor Johnson been duly
eh cted by the people of Tennessee—
were he in office by and with the assent
01 the majority of the inhabitants of
that State—Mr. Lincoln might very
properly say to those who protest sgainit
his conduct, "You have made your bed,
and most lie in it; I cannot interfere be.
tween you and your legitimate Gover
nor," but, as before observed, Mr
Jobilson was oppointed, not by virtue of
the "Constitution and laws," under
which "the President is charged with
no duty in the conduct of the Presiden
tial election in any State," but under
the most expansive of all powers—the
war power of the President. The Pres
ident is, therefore, directly responsible
for the faithful performance of the trust
reposed by him in the hands of Gover
nor Johnson, and by no special pledg
ing can he shift that responsibility.
Again, the President in this remarka
ble letter says: •
"Governor Johnson, like any other
loyal citizen of Tennessee, has the right
to favor any political plan he chooses,
and as military governor it is his duty
to keep the Peace ,among and for the
loyal people of the state."
This is very ingenious; but, we regret
to be compelled to add, very dishonest.
The ground of complaint, and the reason
for the pr test of many of the citizens of
Tennessee, was not that Governor John-
son has proposed a plan which they do
not like to accept; in such an event the
laissez faire policy the President recom
mends would be the true one; but they
complain that this plan is forced upon
them by the whole power of the federal
government, and it is not simply a plan,
but an act for the enforcement of which
every tinion bayonet in Tenness'e,and
if need be, of neighboring departments,
will be brought into requisition.
We had hoped that the President
would have promptly repudiated the
action of Governor Johnson; but in this
we have not only been disappointed, but
the excuse for noninterference is al
flimsy as it is disingenuous. Such acts,
however proper the motive, can only
result in weakening the government by
creating disaffection.
Death of a Noted Guerrilla
Press Pollock, confined in the Nash
ville Penitentiary, and convicted of
bushwhacking and sentenced to be hung
by a court martial, made his escape
about the time of the execution of Gos
sett, several months ago. A few days
ago he was discovered in the neighbor.
hood of the Tennessee Iron Works, on
the Cumberland river, and a detachment
from a company of home guards, orga
nized in that neighborhood, attempted
to capture him, and pursued him so
closely that he ran into the cellar of one
of the buildings, and, drawing his revol
ver, defied those who were upon his
trail. The home guards continued to
watch his hiding place until the arrival
of a squad of Federal soldiers, who, up
on reaching the spot, immediately de
manded his surrender. Pollock replied
that he would give himself up only on
one condition, and that was that he
should be shot in the body, and after
wards deoently , interred. Re then re
marked that he had been sentenced to
be hung for Motes witlcit he had commit

A Dark Tranaaation
We are sure that every readier of this
;Journal perused with equal surprise and
indignation the report we yesterday
gave from the columnikof a„Republicau
print in this city, reciting the testimony
borne by one Pardon Wcimley 111, the
case of Messrs. Johnson Ib-Suttonoiry
goods merchants of this city, nqw on
trial:before the Military Commission cif
which Gen. Fessenden is: President upo&
the charge of selling goods to blockade
runners and contraband traders within
the lines of the enemy.
It appears from the testimony of this
witness, produced on the part of the
Government, that he, with his wife, was
engaged about the Ist of April last, and
sent out-by the Government as a princi
pal in the nefarious business to which
the accused merchants are charged with
being accessories. This man, the Gov
ernment's witness, swore that—
"He sold goods to Mosby and his offi
cers under the direction and with the
knowledge of the Government, and he
always informed the Government of
what he did, Witness's wife was
also in the same business, and he was
compensated by the Government. Wit
ness had made money by selling goods,
but had not divided proceeds with the
Government. Witness gave bonds to
the Government, and they took his hon
or for the faithful performance of his du
ties."
If Worsley, the Government's agent
and its witness in this trial, was allowed
,to sell goofs to Moseby and his officers
"!under the direction and with the knowl
edge of the Government," it follows that
the Government is the principal in this
contraband trade, and it appears that
Worsley was% paid agent for the prose
cution of the illegal traffic with the ene
my. Under such circumstances Messrs.
Johnson & Sutton, the victims of this
Government agents, may be put on trial
before a military commission for furnish
ing goods to Moseby, but in tetlity it is
the Administration of War Department
which will be put on trial before the bar
of public opinion in the Loyal States. If
this witness is to be believed, he was in
the habit of' trading with Moseby and his
officers "under the direction of the Gov
ernment," and while carrying on this
illegal traffic he "always informed the
Government of what he did." It will
seem, therefore, that the Government
does not object to such illicit trade, but,
if we may judge from the prosecution
now pending in this city, desires to
claim for itself a monopoly in this busi
ness.
We await further developments in
affair heforp making it the subject of
such reflections as its abhorrent charac
ter deserves, if the statements of this
witness should stand uncontradicted.
We refer to the subject to-day merely
for the purpose of correcting an error
in the report of the names of the counsel
employed for the defence of the accused
merchants, as given by us yesterday.
They are defended by Mr. Riddle and
Mr. Wolf, the former of whom is well
known to our readers as a distinguished
member of the last Congress from the
State of Ohio, but who is now located
in this city as a leading member of our
Bar.—Pal. Intelligeneer.
Shocking Casualty
A lamentable casualty occurred on the
Central Ohio Railroad, to the train leav
ing this city Wednesday morning for
the East. When near Pataskala, and In
rapid motion, a brakeman ordered a la.
dy who had seven children with her
from one passenger car into another
The mother while passing out requested
a young lady passenger to assist her
across the platform with her family, and
the
_young lady generously volunteered
her ass:stance. Taking a child about
three years old in her arms, the young
lady attempted to step from one platform
to another, but her foot or skirts caught
upon something, and she was precipita
ted under the cars, still holding the child
in her arms. The wheels of two cars
passed over Per. cutting off both her
feet about the instep, one arm at the
shoulder, and mangling her person in a
most dreadful and shocking manner.
She lived but a few minutes, and the
child wam instantly killed. The train
was stopped nd the mangled bodies of
the unfortunate young lady and infant
were conveyed to a neighboring house
and properly cared for. The young la
dy whose life was thus suddenly and
horribly terminated, was about eighteen
years of age, and of prepossessing ap
pe,trance, and was on her way from Lex
ington, Kentucky, to her home in Phil
adelphia.—Ohio Statesman, Oel. 21.
Secret Spy Cliques
Are distributed in every bureau, to as—
certain the political bias of every clerk,
and private conversations are carefully
repeated, with faithful misrepresenta—
tions, to the chairman of the Union
League, in writing, who in turn reports
them to the heads of departments in
which the "elected" member may be
employed, thus securing his dismissal
without any redress, and simply on the
ground of betrayed confidence. Many
of the spies are to receive promotion as
a reward for their patriotic devotion to
their country.
Every man who dares to prefer Gener
al McClellan to the handsome and unique
Abraham is suddenly made aware of
being a disloyalist, although the man
may have lett a limb on the field of
battle, or served three years as a faithful
soldier.
Only a few days ago a sergeant in one
of the regiments here was broken to the
ranks, for no other reason than that he
ventured to have an opinion of his own
as to who he preferred as next Presi
dent. The order was not read on pa
rade, for a reason must then be made
public, but the reason would have done
the Secretary of War and the adminis
tration more harm than good.
Another Draft
Another draft, it seems, is coming
right along. It appears to be a fact
that, notwithstanding its enormous
eost to individuals and townships, the
five hundred thousand call waspa failure,
and produced very few men, compara
tively We are not surprised to heart,
in till!" connection, that the next Con
gress will be asked to amend the con
scription law, so as to compel every
person who is drawn to serve, no sub
stitutes being allowed. The National
Republican, the personal organ of
Lincoln, thus hints at what may be ex
pected if he is re-elected:
The object of the draft is not to fill
quotas, but to raise 'troops, and it should
be exacted with that view and for that
purpose; and as every able bodied citi
zen of the proper age is subject to he
called into" he service, no man who has
been legally drafted has just cause of
complaint on account of being required
to render his due share of military ser
vice. The fact that the required num
ber has - already been drawn is no reason
why others should not be drawn, if
necessary to fill quota.
