il elected, ho will be compelled, from the
worry nature Of the case, VIII ,tever his own
individual desires may be, to seek negotia-
ton with us, and suspend all military OPP
cmtions, is to many minds very clear. But
we must still remember that to give him
a chance of being elected at all, tho nva-
ding armies must gain no further successes
within the next month. It is the Confcd.
crate army which created q peace party
ut the North; Johnston and Bouregard
planted it; Loe watcred it; and we must
give it increase; we must nurse it and
cherish il, 10y the same methods Ms hith-
erto that is with the bullets and bayonot.
Should the military situation be unlavor-
able TO MS next month, Mcclellan could not
be elected; aud if he were, his election
could do US no good. Al present ho aud

Pcndleton is, morally, as complete a
traitor as jeff Davis. Aud he is but little
less traitor practically While Davis
was sending out his armies to overthrow
the Government, Pendleton refused to vote
a dollar or man to prevent it. If the ma
iority in Congress had voted as he did, the
rebels would have accomplished their pur-
poses long ago. Any rebel in the Confed-
eracy is, therefore, as deserving of the
votes of loyal men as Pendleton; and yet
whoever votes for Mcclellan will have to
vote for this notorious ally Of treason.
