The following is from the last edition OF

bans raiders, attempts will be made to res
cue them, Capt. Desriviere's troop of vol

Letter from Hon. Geo. III. PendIe-

Vice President.

Vice President.
New YORK. Oct 23.-The following letter
from Hon. Geo. III. Pendleton, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Vice President, Just re-
ceived by Hon. Jno B. Haskin, of the New
York Democratic Executive State Commit
tee, appeared in the Sunday Mercury this
morning:
CINCINNATI, Oct. II.
MY DEAR SIR: I have received your
friendly letter. Malignant representations
and falsehoods are so frequent in our po-
litical struggles, that / have rarely UNDER
taken to correct or refute them. l make
no propositions of a new faith, but only
repeat my reiterated professions of an old
one, when | say that there Is no one who
cherishcs greater regard for the Union,
who has higher sense of its inestimable
benefits, who would more earnestly labor
for its restoration by all means which
would effect that end, than myself. The
Union is the guarantee of the peace, pow
er, and the prosperity of the people; and
no man would deprecate more heartily, or
oppose more persistently, the establishment
of another government over any part of
the territory ever within its limits. am
in favor Of eXacting no conditions, insisting
upon no terms not prescribed in the Con-
stitution, and lam opposed to any course of
policy which will defeat the re-establish-
ment of the Government upon its old foun-
dations ami its territorial integrity.
am. very truly, yours, &C.,
tSignedl GEO. III. PENDLEToN.

MAN, in clubs of Ten or more, to Agents
or News Dealers, at FIFTEEN CENTS PER
WEEK, being only TWO AND oNE-HALF CENTS
for each paper.
We call upon the Democracy every
where, to prepare for the extraordinary
campaign that is just at hand.
The OHIO STATESMAN will continue to
defend the Constitution against the assaults
of all its enemies. It will in the future as
in the past be found battling for the Rights
of the White Man, in opposition to all Dis
union Abolition TRAITORS. 1t will give an
energetic and vigorous support to the
movement for Peace and the Restora-
tion of the Union. 1t will wage an eternal
warfare against usurpation and tyranny in
every form; it will oppose arbitrary ar
rests, and advocate the Freedom of Speech
and of the Press. In short, it will give to
Convention most earnest and cordial sup
port; and oppose with all its power the i'm
beetle and contemplate Administration
that is now by its unconstitutional acts of
Tyranny and Usurpation attempting to
fasten upon this people Despotism more
degrading than that of the worst Despot
who ever disgraced throne in the Old
World or the New.
Will our Democratic exchanges please
notice editorially this enterprise?
Every Democrat in Ohio not taking The
ONO STATESMAN should try it during this
campaign, at least. Send tor specimen
copies at once. Write names and postoflices
