From the beginning OF the present polid
cal contest, tn Republican party has di-
rected its whole battery Of invective and
falsehood against Mr.. PENDLEroS, the Dem>
ocratic candidate for Vice President. Their
assaults, however, have only served to ex-
hibit in clearer light his patriotism and
manly independence, and to make his vir-
tues more widely known. Detraction has
never more signally failed in its object than
in the case Of Mr.. PREDLrroS. He stands
to day before the American people one of
the pursst patriots and ablest statesmen
who has ever adorned our nations history
His fame ranks high among the illustrious
heroes Of the glorious past. Tho following
letters, while they define clearly the wise
position he occupies in reference to the po-
litical issues Of the day, afford also trium
phant refutation of the ISLANDERS with which
he has been assailed. 1t is fitting that they
accompany Mr.. PENDLEroN's New York
speech, which wo publish in another col
umn:
CINCINNATI, Oct. IL, 1864.
MY DEAR Sra: have received your
friendly letter Malignant misrepresenta-
tions and falsehoods are so frequent in our
political struggles that have rarely uader
taken to correct or refute them.
I II axe no professions Of Q new faith,
only repeat my reiterated professions Of
an old one, when I say that there is no ono
who cherishes q greater regard for the
Uuion, who has higher sense Of Its ines
Unable benefits, who would more earnest
" labor for it's restoration by oil means
which will effect that end, than myself.
The Union is the guaranty Of the peace,
the power, tho prosperity Of this people;
and no man would deprecate more heartily
or oppose more persistsntly, the establish.
ment of another Government over any por.
ton of the territ 'ry ever within its limits.
am in favor Of exacting no conditions.
insisting upon no terms, not prescribed in
the Constitution, and l am opposed to any
course of policy which will defeat the re-
established of the Government upon It's old
foundations and it's territorial integrity.
lam, very truly yours, &c.
GEo. Il. PESDLEros.

CINcISNAII, Oct. l8, 1864.
My DDAR SIR:-I havo received your
letter. In the very beginning Of this war
lin the first days Of the extra session OF
1851 said in my place in Congress that
would vote for all measures necessary to
enable the Government to maintain its hon
or and dignity and prevent disaster to its
flag. / have done 30. thought, by the
adoption Of such measures, the faith Of tho
Government was pledged to the troops in
the field, and must not be forfeited by in
adequate supplies
never gave a vote which was incom-
patibls with this sentiment. All appropri ..
atoms, pure and simple, for the support
and efficiency Of the army and navy, had
my cordial concurrence. Itwas only when
they were connected with other and im {.
proper sppropriations-when, by reason Of
their popularity, they were loaded down
with fraudulent items for the benefit Of
contractors and spectators, and every at
tempt to separate them failed, when they
were made stalking horse for some aboli
tion schemes, that was constrained re-
lectantly to vote against the whole bill.
But repeat that voted against no
bill which was confined simply to the OBJ
ject Of supplies for tho army and the navy.
am, very truly, your;
Hon. g. l.. WARE. Philadelphia. Pa.
