The common opinion that the Oueen Of

How Does He Knew 1t?

The following is an extract from
the letter which the Lincoln politicians
have wormed out of General Grant,
who seems to have found leisure from
the politics Of the North. he 5il;a says: z
"Our peace friends, if they expect
peace from separation, are much mis-
taken. 1t would but be the begin
ming Of war with thousands of North
ern men joining the South, because of
our disgrace in allowing separation.
To have peace 'on any terms the
South would demand the restoration
of their slaves, we called freed; they
would demand indemnity for losses
sustained; and they would demand Il.
treaty which would make the North
slave hunters for the South"
Now, how does Grant know that?
What right has he to say it? Lincoln
will have no negotiations with the
Confederates, and therefore we do not
know, and Grant does not know, what
terms they will take.

The Change of Feeling

The Lancaster, Ohio, Eagle says:
although some Of our very best
citizens would have preferred some
one else to Mcclellan, we do not know
a single Democrat in Fairfield County
who will withhold his support from
the ticket nominated. On the other
hand, it will receive the support of
hundreds who last year went for
Brough. The great one thing now
needed above all else, is to rescue the
government from the control of its
present corrupt and and incompetent
rulers"
Another remarkable conversion has
taken place. The Westchester County
On. ~ Monitor abandons the repubh-
can party in favor of Gen. Mcclellan.
The editor says:
"The truth is, the Administration OF
Abraham Lincoln is lamentable fail

Treasury Department. financial ruin
stares US in the face; With want OF

E There are persons who read
the Lincoln journals who believe that
original plans, anu Inat om s,rv 15.s1.ss ,s
and movements from the time he met
Lee at Spottsylvania, in May, up to
the present time wore foresoen by
Grant, and resulted exactly as he de-
signed before he left Washington
They think the repulso at Spottsylva-
nia--the defeat in the Wilderness
the march to the North Anna--from
thence to the James--the defeat at
Coal Harbor--the change of base to
Petersburg, and the two bloody de-
feats before that town, were just what
General Grant expected and were n
part Of his comprehensive plan for the
capture of Richmond.

Hon. George H. Pendleton.

George ii. Pendleton, the Dono-
cratic candidate for the Vice Prosiden-
cy, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in
the month of July, 1925, and is there
fore little less than year older than
General Mcclellan. He was elected
member of the State Senate of Ohio
in 1854 and 1855; in 1856 he wss
chosen to represent his district in the
House Of Representatives, and has
been reelected to every succeeding
Congress, Notwithstanding the pres
ent popular majority given by Ohio
against the party to which he belongs.
Mr.. Pendleton occupied from the
first a prominent position in the House.
He was always placed on important
committees, and discharged the duties
pertaining to such positions with rare
ability and fidelity. He is man of
pleasing appearance and a fluent speak
er. His popularity is proverbial among
his political opponents, as well rs
those attached to the same party with
himself. His record during the con-
tinuance of the present war is as clear
as his friends could wAh. Though
sympathizing with those who were in
favor of peace, he has always voted
for bills for supplies for the army and
navy, and for the support of the gov
ernment, but ready at any moment to
advocate pacific measures when they
promised to result in restoration Of
the Union. Aside from his ability,
Mr.. Pendloton's personal popularity
throughout the West, will be tower
of strength for him in the coming
canvass.

THE LOYAL LEAeUE.-This patriotic
band, extending all over the country,
shows the same ear-marks elsewhere
as here. 1t is fit body to succeed
the Michigan wide awakes. In the
city of Rochester the league had up
before them the question of the draft.
A committee was appointed to ascer-
tain how many members were enroll
ed, and to see how they could be re-
lieved from fighting to put down tho
rebellion. 1t is indeed singular, as
the Rochester Repablieaa says, that
none of the Loyal Leaguers are found
in the army, unless with commissions,
and rarely in active service any way.

EE Massachusetts, ships brought
nearly all the negro slaves frem Afri-
ca to this country. She was the great
foreign African slave trader. When
the Federal Constitution was adopted,
in 1877, Virginia desired the foreign
slave trade to be absolutely prohibited
in it. Massachusetts, and other New
England States objected. They de-
clared it would be ruinous to their
commerce, then largely engaged in the
African slave trade. To please Mas
sachusetts, clause was put in the
Constitution prohibiting Congress from
prohibiting the African slave trade for
twenty years, and after that leaving
it discretionary with Congress whether
it should be permitted or not. After
Massachusetts had supplied the coun-
try with negroes from Africa, she
turned Aboitionist and wanted to steal
the negroes from the very men she
sold them to. Now, since the war
has been the result of the Abolition
movement, she has returned to her
first love of buying negroes.
