wasted, stated in his speech, on accepting
the nomination for Congress, that he will ia

GgsGtOM---Hhss ReSDOUSe,

We alluded, yesterday, to the fact tha
the people ofthe Ninth Ward, in which Mr.
Pendeton resides honored him with sere
made at his residence At an early hour il
the evening the northeast part of the cit,
was astir with people, and, with music and
cannon, to the nunber Of full two thusand
they proceeded to the house Of Our gallant
nominee.
The procession was composed of the 9tl
and 18th Wards, which constitute the back
bone of the Democracy of the upper wards
After the serenade was concluded, Mr. Pen
dleton appeared, and was received with
deafening applause. He returned his thanks
as followsi
My Fellow CruzENs-sf thank You fol
this evidence of your interest and good will.
| thank you for your kindness and sympa-
thy. | have always received them from you
my neighbors and friends of the Ninth anC
Thirteenth wards 1t is Just ten years since
first you voted for me for Congress, that is
a long time in the life Of young man. You
have given me your confidence during all
that time In defeat as well as in success
yGtt have supported me. In all the trying
scenes Of the last four years you have been
my constant unwavering friends. You gave
me the word of encouragement, when left
You gave me cordial welcome when / re-
turned. When according to my humble a.
bility, [ advocated the right you loudly ap-
proved. When my Judgment erred you
censured gently. Ny friends, from the bot
tom Of my heart thank you. To merit
and to have your cordial good will and con-
fidence is more valuable than office or hon
ors.
I shall not make you political speech to,
night, it is not pec2ssary-we understand
each other perfectly.
One thing | desire to say which has been
impressed on ME to-day. We are about to
enter upon warm excited contest 1t will
try you-try your principles-try the
strength Of the institutions Of free govern
mcnt. Let us indulge in no personal animos-
tiles, or personal abuse. Let us remember
that the cause is too sacred-the cOnsequen-
ces too important results too vast--fol
such party instrumcntalities Let US appeal
to reason and judgment. and experience
let US appeal to the minds and hearts and
conSccnces Of our fellow citizens. And
then if We shall be successful, and IN God $
good providence, our dearest hope shall be
realized, and we shall have again the bless
ings of individual liberty under the protec-
ton of a Constitution indicated, and a I'm
ion re-inyigorated, no unpleasant rccollcct-
ion Of this contest will mar the glory Of our
triumph or dim the supreme lustro Of our
great achievment.

The Chicago CtsRyentfOn-EetteF
from EX-Prasident Pierce.
From tie Ghlcnn0 Tim


The following is the letter from ex- Presi-
dent Pierce, brought to the notice of the
convention yesterday, as expressive Of the
wishes of that distinguished gentleman, by
r. T. Spoford, delegate from Massachu-
sets
CoNcoRD. N. H., August H. 1864.
My DEAR SPoFFORD Il received your
note on Saturday evening; but do not see
how, consistently with your convenience or
my own, we can meet again before you leave
for Chicago. Nor indeed, is there any spe-
cial occasions for it. You know my views,
and | rely upon your friendship. What I
wish to have done will be no task 1t will
be easy to check any woed that may by pos
sibiity be said about me in connection with
the nomination. The New Hampshire dele
cation will take no steps from first to last
which favor or give sanction to my being a
candidate. AT all events, you must under
stand from what | have more than once
said to you, how painful it would be to me
to have my wishes in this relation disregard
ed by my friends in any part of the coun-
try. ., .. u
Who ever may be nominated will, have
no doubt, in obedience to what will be the
voiso Of the Convention declare in the name
Of the Democracy of the United States, that
the approaching election shall be free cleo
ton, an election conducted in obedience to
the laws Of the land, not with military pres
cnce to oterawe the unarmcd citizens. And
that if in any sovereign State recognizing the
authority of the Federal Government, mill
tary usurpation shall come to suppress the
people in the exercise of their rights Under
the constitution and enacted laws, 10 will
meet that military usurpation with all the
power we can command.
But if your Convention will act condially
and in harmony, there need be no apprehen-
sion that bayonets will attempt to control
the Judgment Of the voters. ......
No audsoity in defiance of the Constitu-
ton will dare to confront with arms the uni
ted Democracy of the southwestern middle,
northwestern and eastern States. No man,
delyihg the Constitution which he has sworn
to uphold and obey, can bring the artny TO
support open rebellion against a fair and
free vote They will hold that,we are a free
people yet, ,--let us be thankful for that, Ia
free people living under a written constitu-
ton, which binds the highest official not less
firmly than the humblest citizen Of the Re-
public. Of this, | think, you may be sure.
The critical-the vital thing, will be united
action on your part, and that such may be
the result is my most earnest wish. n.
.. Always your friend, j. ..... 8

serenade TO Gen. ndcCiGtiaU.
From Tie Nenarh 1dc@tiser. Nept I


The usual quiet town of Orange was
quite animated yesterday on the announce
ment of the nomination of Gen. Mcclellan,
who has recently become resident on the
mountain just back of the town. The event
Of his nomination at Chicago was announced
by a salute, which was III front Of the Park
House. As night approached, the streets
became thronged with people, who soon be-
gan to move in the direction of Mcclellan 5
mountain home. About 9 o clock quite a
procession, including number of citizens
Of Newark, accompanied by RubSam' s band
started for the house which they reached
about 70 o'clock Gen. Mcclellan was there
entertaining some personal friends and the
cottage was immediately surrounded by
clamorous crowd The band struck up
serenadG of spirited music, and speech of
congratulation was made by Mr. h. l.. Foote
Of Orange Loud calls were then made for
the General, who was finally induced to APP
pear and make a few informal remarks in
in acknowledgement Of the compliment
paid him.
He said he did not believe they expected
a speech from him, H0r did he feel disposed
to make any extended remarks st this time.
The events Of the day were entirely new.
and he could sctrcely realize the position in
which he had been placed. Alter again
thanking them for the compliment of their
visit, the General withdrew, amid cheers OF
the assembly and the music of the
band. A number of friends accompanied
him into the house, and were Hospitality en-
tertained.
The General has decided to make Orange
his permanent residence, and is said to be
making preparations for the erection Of a
commodious homestead adjoining his present
summer cottage, which, as before mentioned
is on the summit of the mouGtain, immcdi-
ately back of Orange commanding a fine
panoramic view, extending over this city
and New York, with a vast eXpanse Of
country north and south. 1t is about a mile
and a half from the principal depot of the
Morris and Essex railroad.

The sixteenth Congressional Dis
tTiCf of Ohio.
WHEELING, Va, Sept. 6. 1864


| recently spent three days in the Six
teenth Congressional District of Ohio. aud
was very agreeably surprised to learn of the
changes that are taking place among the
best class of citizens in favor of the Democ-
racy Both parties have generally held
their county Conventions, and each has its
Joseph W. White of Cambridge, is the no
minee of the Democracy; and Hon. John
A. Bingham, Of Cadiz, is the Republican
candidate for Congress. Mr.. White is com
parativeIy young man; small IN stature
large in intellect; industrious as bee with
heart as large as his head, every pulSation
Of which beats to ''the music of the Union, "
He is the present member from this district
having defeated Mr.. Bingham two years
ago by about 2, 300 votes. If the portion of
the district Guernsey, Noble and Belmont
counties) in which | have becnis fair spe-
cimen of the whole-in the way of political
changes since last election-I have no hesi-
taticy in predicting Mr. Whites election by
an immense majority next October.
Last fall, this district not unlike most
other districts in Ohio, went largely Repub-
lican. Noble county gave Brough, ] believe,
about 300 majority; I believe White will
carry it this year by as much. The change
in Belmont seems to be fully asgreat, which,
taking the proportion of votes cast by the
two counties, would give us over 1000 ma
iority. The changes in Guernsey although
not 50 numerous, perhaps, are still rcspecta-
bic in numbers, and very encouraging. BinS-
ham is a dcmagoguc of the first water, a
huulhug of the big blue kind, and an Aboli-
tion-disunionist into the bargain. Two years
ago, the people of this district refused to
trust this man as their Representative; and
he has done hothing since tOmake them look
more tavorably upon him now B.

BTNGHAM is nothing unless he is great
He imagincs that he can even improve on
the immortal Jefferson. In saying his little
piece at Cambridge, he affected to quote
from that statesman, but as the language
was by no means opposite. he changed it to
suit the occasion, aud made it ridiculous by
making it his own. Jefferson said: II
have sworn upon the altar of my God ctcrn-
al hostility to every form of tyranny over
the mind of man." Bingham puts in his
mouth this language: II have sworn, on
the alter of my God, eternal hostility to ty-
ranny, nevery form over the mind and body
of men," The fact is, Bingham is looking
all the time for some alusion to the niger,
and if the language Of an author or states
man will not quite suit, how easy it is to
change it!

Naval AH;lir.s.'

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Secretary
of the Navy iRresponse to the Senate reso-
luton of enquiry, says no transfers of sea-
men from the army to the navy have been
effected under therecent Congress, and 35
vessels of war are now waiting compliments
of men. Not only are these waiting for
crews, but the terms of many seamen now in
the service have expired, and men are de-
tanned to manage our ships though Justly
entitled to, discharge. Were they nos de-
tanned, many vessels on blockade duty
would have to go out of the service.
This state of affairs is to be deplored, and
is in a great measure, if not entirely, at
tributable to unwise legislation. The
Enrolment act of the last Congress so ut
terly ignored the naval service that enlist
ments In that service were not permitted to
be credited on the quotas of those commu-
mites from which they were drawn when
the draft came to be enforced. In addition
to these obstacles, the appropriation forex.
traordinary boupties for army enlistments,
while not dollar was paid to the sailor,
operated to the discredit of the naval SER
vice, and held out strong inducements for
military service. l ni- 4sa tI.
