We have more than once Commended III
Hen. George H Pendleton 10. his frankpes.
his outepolen sincerity, for the entire at
sence Of trickery and couceslmeut which ha
marked his public career since the beginning
Of the War. At the very outsst, viz: on the
18th day of January, 1861, he declared tha'
he was opposed to fighting Tor tno ou'on'
and In favor Of peaceable Separation fAtnef

Mr. Rendleton is q man who docs not ess{ly
change bis opinions. Two years after he
gaye utterante to the above bold declaration
of his opposition to the war, and his prefer
enc. for disunton, viz: on the S1st Of Janu,
ary, 1868, he repeated bis beliefs in the fol-
lowing words:
~ taid two years ngo On this door that sarmte.

Not aty11able can be found in all Of Mr. Pen.
dleton's public epeechcs and letters, prlorto
lis nemination for the Vice Presidency By
1he Chicago Convention, modifying, altering
or abraoelng these plain, unyarnished state
meuts. His position has been so well known
thht -ahe lublic understood In an instant,
fhst Lis nomination was the logical follow
ing Of that plank in the Chicago platform
Which calls for an s'immediate cessation OF
hostilit!ee." The general od:nm which a.
taches 10 Mr. Pendleton's name, In conse.
quence of his ottrayowcd hostility to the
wur for the Union, is very great. He was
not, perhaps, aware how great that odium
wss, until the people Ct his o1n Congress
sloEh district came to the polls, couple Of
weeks SINCE. He then learned all about it,
The facts then ootruded upon lis notice evi-
IDENTITY made m impression On him, for he
forthwith wrote litter to the Hon. John B.
Hask1n, Of New York, which we suppose
