This letter from Mr., Pendleton is adj
dressed TO lion. John 3. llaskin. who was
in Congress with hm when the rebellion
broke out. Mr.. Il. was one OF the admin
istrstion Democrats OF the House, having
been chosen from the Westchcster District,
over Kemble, Regular Democrat, and by the
aid and earnest support Horace Greeley
and the New YORK Tribune. The letter
will assure every one who has in c0nse-
Quence Of the ialsehoods Of the admnAssra-
ton press, doubted the true position Of Mr..
Pendleton, that he stands uncompromising-
y BY the Union, and against any policy
looking to the establishment Of another gov
eminent or the violation Of territorial integ-
ritJ. The New York Herald, which has
rung I'll the changes against Mr.. r. on his
alleged "peace antcccdents and affiliations"
confssses that his letter sweeps away all OBJ
jcctona. Indeed, it treats the missive Is =
''rspudiaeion Of the Chicago PLATFORM"
which Il has inisreprcsented in common
With the entire administration press-say.
