der, a. citizen. - . democrat, e. man Of
promising sbiiities for statesmanship. and -

tho uaooataminated young war democracy. snd
a. their favorite hi name bore down eli oppe-
sition at Chicago. True. the convention placed
him upon riokety and treaoherous platform;
but IN rejecting it Is he not acquitted of its i'd
fanny. Why. then. this heavy, up hill labor in
advancing his standard among tho peoples
This is the question, and here il tho answer.
Tho popular enthusiasm which, before tho Chit
cago Convention, was awakened, East and
West by the name Of Mcclellan. has been OK
tinguished by its association with tho name Of
Peudletoa. Here is tho difficulty; and tho ob-
staole Of this dead aad decomposisg body must
be removed, and at oaos, If Mr., Belmont would
carry the Pennsylvania October election.
What is tho public record Of Mr.. George 81.
Pendletons We are dealing with him as q
public man. It is the record, in Congress and
out Of Congress. at all times and in all
places, from the beginning to this day, Of
consistent, constant. invoterate and Jealous sym
pathizer with the cause of the rebellion From
his Congressional record during this war We
may safely say that. had bis vote on all import
ant test quest ions been the casting vote In the
House, volunteering and drafting to ill our
wasted armies would have ceased; the pay OF
our brave soldiers, their subsistence, clothing
and transportation would have been stopped;
our gallant Union heroes on the land and water
would have been abandoned to the tender mer
cies of JEFF. Davis and this day we should have
had q Southern confederacy. and war with
England and France, for mere remnant OF the
Union. IN full blast This is the difficulty with
poss BILE that MT. Belmont entertains 50 light
an estimate Of the intelligence Of the American
people q to Aatter himself with the delusion
that Mr.. Pendleton has now only to re-
main silent to escape unscathedi No, sir.
His silence is understood as q trick, and
its object az q dangerous deception.
The loyal voters Of the North understand
this thing is involving the use Of q Union SOL
dier's name Tor treaoherous purpose. de-
basing capitul alton to . defeated rebellion.
which win make this people stink in the nos
trils even OF poor unfortunate Mexico.
Our advice. therefore, to Mr.. Belmont as the
head of the Democratic National Executive
Committee, is that be should forthwith exeruise
the power with which he was invested, at
Chicago, and call together again the national
party convention, for the express purpose OF
Setu aside George H. Pendleton as bad
stick Of timber. and Of putting in his place
sound aud acceptable Union man as the proper
assoc ate Of General Mcclellan. We presume
that Mr.. Belmont has finished his financial busi-
uess as the agent Of Louis Napoleon for the
support OF Maxmilian on his Mexican throne,
and has the time to spare to consider this case
of Mr.. Pendleton. II not We hazard the pre-
diction that, politically and financially, Mr.
Belmont will be moro unlucky with his invest
ments Ia General Mcclellan than he was with
the betrayed and unfortunate Douglas Ard
thus endeth the first lesson.
