vIcr.PREsIDENr PENDLEroN.


From he Tribune.
Pendleton has accepted his nomination and put
himself square on the Chicago platform Of peace
and surrender, although the committee whose
. duty il was to notify the candidates chosen by
the Convention of their nomination withheld the
customary notice from the determined p. 80 as
not to give him chance OF writing letter con-
trarywise to tho plastic McClelan's and to avoid
the danger of having the ticket pulled apart In
the centre. But Pendeton has accepted the plat
form. He spread himself all out on it at Dayton,
: Ohio, on the 10th in his speechlet in which he
spoke unctuousiy of the Democratic party,
: whose beneficent principles, recently soemnly
announced in National Convention &c. &c. &c.
Pass by the anomalous spectacle of the dia-
metTical antagonism Of TWO candidates for Pres-
dent and Weep esident on the same ticket
(highest proof of the rapidly hurryng dsintegra-
i tion which will, within six months after the
Z election, wholly deliver this continent from the
curse of the pro-slavery Democratic parry, aud
obterdte the very ldndm srks OF is eNistence),
4 pass by that and conceive Of George IL. Pendle-
ton as Vice President of the United States. lie
is in the chair OF the Senaie, armed with tue
! deadly power of giving the casting vote, when
necessary to be used. He sits there, perfectly
assured Of the lawtulness Of secession. For did
, he net say In debate on January Is, 1861 -
"It tho Southeu sta es cannot cOHctted You
gentlemen ot nnd II in our qearts to grant rer de
mands-r they must leave tue family mansi9 - wo ld
them farewell 80 tend'rly mat they would forever b
Sf Their Separate eXislonco hey sould desire TO co
together with us ogan IN Gno common tovernneni there
should be no lride TO De humated-ihere should be
wound inlioied by my hand to b. healed Tnoy should
come and he welcome 70 the place they nov occuoy."
= This supposittious Vite-President Pendeton
6Sts we say, in the chair Of the Senate, perfectly
$.ssured, logically satisfied, that the South had a
right TO seCede. Reverdy johnson, OF Maryland,
Powell, of Kentucky, Salisbury, of Delaware,
Wright, of New Jersey, Buckiew, Of Pennsyl-
vaDia, and Others, approach the presiding seat
dignidedly, and at intervals, one after the other
and confer in whispers on national atfIirs-per
D haps an unusual spectacle in our developing
y House of Lords.
"Old fellow" one would say, 10Y resolution,
that secession being the unquestOnaOle right of a
State, or of a number of States, the war waged
by the United States against the Confederate
4 States was uDiustiiiable and without cause, and
that all the expenses the Confederate Stites were
put to in defending themselves should, in law and
in equity, be assumed by the Uutcd STATES that
say, will be up tomorrow, and l Just want TO
remark that the 'demnition sum total Of those
expenses, 20 be allowed by commissioners, is
awful-but that way down TO the bottom is pile
! for the true blues, enough to enrich them for
ever. Do you understand ??
"Unquestiona0ly, Senator, we are bound to
assume and pay the Confederate States war
debt The war we waged upon them was one Of
unjustihable aggression. Mcclellan will sign
such a bill-but If he should hesitate, we'll, he
ought 70 have the grace to die, as old Harrison
did. If had his office i would mighty quick
slap my name TO your Confederate deDt-saddling
bill. But he will sign IT,"
Another would say -" Pendeton, am aware
that you have no doubts that every save who has
been lost 20 his owner, by any cause of this war
whatsoever, direct or indirect, should be paid for
by the Uniied States. But would it not be Just
10 give owners damages upon the loss of Increase
of slavery loss of the fair average, annual crop
y of young niggers :"
@Certainly, the South had a right to secede.
Stick that loss Ia the House bill by way of amend
ment."
Anotber toga'd one vvouId sav.- tGeorga IVA
will shove the Confederate Widows Pension
bill through this week. / think we had better
separate the children, and the mothers and
fathers, aud the sisters and brothers, aud the
nieces and nephews, and make eight ditiereng
bills, with different proceedings and comnis-
sioners. 1here is a LOT Of needy good fellows
down there to provide places for. But these pen
J sions win wiring the life out Of you Yanbs."
"Yes mortgage EN- into good behavior for u
thousand years! The South had a right TO
seeede. Why did they try to fight her back, and
in the unholy endeayOr ill her with widows and
orphans Z"
Another Senator would say :-"Mr. Vce-Pfesi-
dent, want fair shake Here are the amend
ments to this Virginia Sufferers bill that are not
half completed, and there are twelve other States
whose sufferers by the Yankee war have got to
be provided for this session. Now ] want fair
chance at the unappropriated moneys on hand.
Just speak 70 Johnson and BuckaleW, and get an
understanding that all these reunion measures
shall have an equal chance-that there be no
.iirst come first serve grab, at the cash in the
Treasury"
''What will the Virginia Sufferers claims
amount TO !"
ooh, we have stopped considering the claims
OF single States, and are trying 10 lind out how
much the thirteen martyr States can get,
without utterly busting this Yankee concern.
1 II is the toughest financial problem | ever
tackled. How much do you think the national
y credit can stand after the war debt and other
measures are provided for Never mind the
Nnelow par-let the scrip have any value you
1 please-bc merely marketable"
"Aly dear fellow have not ciphcred on that.
/ only know that my southern brethren suffered
causelessly, and are entitled to pay for their
losses"
al hear that Mcclellan has been set up against
these bills by Belmont, who hasn't any OF the
claims. You don't think we will have any diii-
Guilty with him. do you =
81 think not He is committed to the uniusti-
dableness of the war, and would just like 10 see
