Pendleton has accepted his nomination and
nut himself square on the Chicago Platform OF
peace and surrsndsr-although the Committee
whose duty it was to notify the candidates
chosen By the Convention of their nomination,
withheld the customary notice from the deter
mined p, so as not to give him a chance of
writing a letter contrariwise 10 the plastic Me-
Clelan's, and to avoid the danger OF having the
ticket pulled apart in the center. But Pendle'
ton has accepted the Platform He spread him
self all out on il at Dayton, Ohio, on the 10TH

This supposititous Vice-President Pendleton
sits, We say, in the Chair Of the Senate. perfect
ly assured, logically satisfied, that the South
had right TO secede. Reyerdy johnson, Of
Maryland, Powell of Kentucky, Salisbury, OF
Delaware, Wright, of New-.Jersey, Buckalew,
Of Pennsylvania, aud others, approach the pre-
siding seat dgniiiedly, and at intervals, one
after the other, and confer in whispers on ma
tional affair, -perhaps an unusual spectacle in
our developing House of Lords. "Old fellow, ~
one would say, my Resolution, that Secession
being the unquestionable right Of State, or OF
anumber of States, the war waged by the United
States against the Confederate States was
unjustifable and without canse, and that all the
expenses the Confederate States were put 10 in
defending themselves, should in law and in
equity be assumed by the United States-that,
l say, will be up tomorrow, and just want to
remark that the 'demnition sum total of those
expenses, to be allowed by commissioners, is
awful-but that way down to the bottom, is a
pile for the true blues, enough to enrich them
forever Do you understand"
Unquestionably, Senator, we are bound to
assume and pay the Confederate States war
debt. The war we waged upon them was one
of unjustifable aggression. Mcclellan will
sign such a bill-but if he should hesitate
well, he ought to have the grace to die, as old
Harrison did. If / had his Office, would
mighty quick slap my name to your Confederate
debt-saddling bill. But he will sign it,"
Another would say: "Pcndleton, / am aware
that You have no doubts that every slave who
has been lost to his owner, by any cause of this
war whatsoever, direct or Indirect should be
paid for by the United States. But would it not
be just to give owners da nages upon the loss OF
increase of slaves-loss Of the fair, average,
annual crop of young niggersi"
Certainly, the South had right to secede
Stick that loss in the House Bill by way of
amendment"
! Another tosa'd one would say George. wo
