No MoRR LRrrHRs.-The democratic"
managers have had such experience with
letters of acceptance OF late, that they
will not let Pendleton, their candidate
for Vice president, write one. The New
York World intimates that his little
speech at Chicago is to be considered his
formal acceptance. They don't dare to
let him say anything more before elec-
ton. A queer dodge, and one that ar
CUES singularly mixed and desperate
condition of things among the "unter-
rified."

On the Way Ia Chicag 70.

The editorial correspondence OF the |
Rochester, New York, Democrat, giyesa
lively account OF what was seen and |
heard in the cars on the way TO the |
Chicago Convention.-Among other rep |
resentatives of the democracy, the Roch-
ester editor found one from Bangor, who
in the course of general conversation
on politics was prompted by a faint shsw
of war democracy TO express himself
quite plainly
60 think said young fellow across
the car, that the democrats of Maine
occupy the same position, but 1t seems
TO me they are wrong and Inconsistent.
If they want the war TO go on, why
don't they support Old Abe, and enlist
under his generals 2 l want the war TO
stop immediately-not because 1t has
failed, not because 1t is for abolition,
but because believe Jefferson Davis is
fundamentally light and our government
fundamentally wrong. A state is ut
terly sovereign, sir, and has right TO
secede at will-this is the only consis-
tent ground for democrats to stand on,
and the only platform they can adopt at
Chicago that will stand the ghost OF
chance of success For if state is not
sovereign, and has no right to secede,
| then they are outlaws, and JEFF Davis a
felon to be captured and hanged, as the
| I.incolntes claim. | am state rights
democrat, and my printing office, the
| Bangor Daily Democrat, was destroyed
by mob in 1862, because | said Davis
was right, and hoped he would sue
coed. l think my sacrifices entitle me
to express my opinion.
THE cars started again, 0but the
martyr from Bangor had taken firm
hold on the affections of his audience
and set them to thinking. If he kept
saving to them, you are not ready to
say that Davis is clearly right, you
ought to join Lincoln in subduing him.
can see no middle ground His po-
lite, but decided manner, his close an
alysis of the hall-and half humbug, and
his incisive way of saying just what he
meant made him completely master Of
the situation. The delegate from neal
Albany caved in, and general converse
tion on politics was not resumed.

GEN. DIx's PoJITIcs.-While the New
York State Union Convention was in
session at Syracuse, a telegram was read
from Gen. Dix saying that he would not
accept a nomination for Governor, and
had written.to Ward Hunt. Thereupon
some of the sensation writers reported
that it was understood that in his letter
he said he disapproved of some of the
measures of the National Administra-
ton. How baselcss such report was
may be seen from Gen. Dix's letter it
self:

How Lancaster Is Exempt from Draft.
We have heard some tall swearing
from the country, because enough vet
Grams have been credited to Lancaster
to exempt the city from tho draft
Many soldiers credited TO the city, it
is claimed, are from the different town
ships of the county, and should be
credited to such townships.
Our understanding of these credits
is this That a number ofOhio regf-
ments, among them the 18th, rc-en-
listed in Tennessee, and were at their
own request, credited to that State.
1t will be remembered that under or
ders of tho War Department, vote
rams we're allowed to credit themselves
to whatever place they might elect
Afterwards Gov. Brough obtained
permission from the Department to
make out supplemental rolls, crediting
these regiments to Ohio. These rolls
were made out from the original rolls
and Of course, the veterans wcro cred
tied to the place at which they enlisted
originally in the three years service
Those cnlisting at Lancaster were
creditGd to the city.
Whether the Department will au
thorizo any change by which these
veterans shall be credited to the town
ships in which they resided at the
thine of eHlisting, we arc unable tc
state. At present lancaster has the
credit for them, and will have to bc
credited with them, unless somc othel
Regulation is established, and the town
ship in which they resided is ascer
tained with certainty.
Thero is an impression that the cit.
has been tricking the country out o
her dues, but the facts arc that thcs
veterans wcrc credited to Lancaste
without the knowledge or procure
mcnt of any of her people. and tina
Lancaster, under the former call, CAV
ono hundred men to the county a
large, and thus almost saved the coun
ty from draft, only sixteen mon bein
drafted.
