they knew to be an Infamous traitor. IheY
concluded to run mixed ticket, neither
fish, flesh nor fowl They put Union st enc
end and treason at the other.
PRNDLEToN-HIs RECENT REuoESoB.
There is such a thug, you know,as q
Presidents dying If the Union end OF this
ticket should die, the treason end would take
its place If they should elect Mr. Mcclellan
and his election surprise HIM so much as to
kill him-which is not unlikely-then Pen-
dleten would take his place and run the
concern according to his own ideas.
They ask you to vote for George B. Me-
CIeIIan on such a platform as this, say l
won't do it, Applause. They ask mo to
vote for George II, Pendleton, and | say |
sAeuld not vote for him on that or any other
platform for Vice President or any other Of
flee, if the devil were candidate against
him Why do l say so? served with him
in Congress, and have been forced and com
PEELED to denounce him traitor, rnd have
| q good right to do 80 to-day. [ have heard
/ fr0la his lips in the halls of Congress before
he was ever thought of as a candidate, words
of treason aud disloyaIty. He has demounc
ed the war from the time it commenced. He
| has never voted solitary dollar, nor sim
gle cent in favor Of prosecuting the war, no
matter how the money was to be expended,
whether for food for ths soIdiars or for any
thing else. Not one dolsr has been. voted
that could be spent in any way against the
rebellion and in favor of the Government,
defy his friends to-day to poiat me to one
line or one syllable ever written or uttered
by him in favor OF restoring the Govern
ment by putting down the rebellion not
word. Bat ifyou will read his speeches
you will find that he has preached secession;
you will fipd that he has Advocated State
Rights, and said that he believed the people
of the South had right to secede, and the
Government had no right to force them
back into the Union. This is the doctrine
he has advocated, aud upon that record peo-
sic ask me TO vote for him Again defy
any man to show me his letter accepting his
nomination on lhe Chicago platform.
Where is Is? Why is it that no man can
find it,
Eie has never accepted that nomination
except by simple acquiescence, and by his
being put on the ticket Why IS this,
say ? Because the Chicago Convention
knew when they adopted that platform that
! Mcclellan would write d soIt letter-sort
of for war, saying that he knew the Con
yention was tor WAX, but they forgot to say
So daughter. They have prevented
| George Ii. Pendleton from writing letter,
and [ venture to say that he never will
| write one Because if they wanted a letter
| from unless they wrote it themselves
he has been SO much in the habit OF
speaking treason thet lie could not write
anything else 1t would damn him before
the people, and they knew it.
ANDY JoHNsoN-THE DIFFERENCE.
Read Andy Johnson's letter. 1t breathes
nothing but devotion 10 the Union. lie IS
also Iennesscan. lie answers the party
that nominated him, laying aside all his
political predudces and wiling to do what
he can to save his country. Contrast him
with George II. Pendetoi, who, as l have
said has denounced the war III the halls Of
Congress and voted against carrying 1t on.
To-day Mr.. Pendetou stands hand Ill hand
with Vallandignam, Wood, and other
Northern TRAITORS, denouncing every man
connected with the war and throwing
svery clog IN the way OF the North-dolng
| his very best to hinder the progress OF the
armies of the United States. What
has Andrew Johnson been doing? He
lived in Tennessee, and was in the
United States Senate when that State Sc
ceded. What did he do He told the
traitors that the State might secede, but
! Andrew johnson newer. lie stood there
and denounced JEFF. Davis, Slldeil, Mason,
| Benjamin and the whole crowd. SAID he,
| ''If I were President of The United States
| | would arrest you as trat0fs-try you as
traitors and hang you as traitors" tie told
them that treason was ranking IN their
hearts, and as they were determined to
break up this Government, SO long as he
| lived they would find him for war. When
| tennessee seeded old Andrew johnson
went home. They drove him from
his State because no would not take
sides with tne rebellion, but he told them
| he would die first lie went to Ohio and
| from there to Washington. When our
army went to Tennessee driving Mr. Bragg
out, he went with it. lie has been acting
the part of a patriot and Statesmen ever
since, Furnishing treason and traitors when
ever they stalked abroad i'll the land.
There is a difference between these men.
And vet am asked to vote for Mcclellan
aud Pendleton Gentlemen, | won't do it.
Applause Johnson and fought against
secession and sccessiouists when the war
broke out. No are lighting against them
now, We stood together then, and we
stand toge ether now, and for this We ars
called Aboltionists. .--I
. WHO THE REBELS FAVOR.
Now, my fellow countrymen, can say |
to you to-day, that the rctels are advocat !
ing the election OF George B. Mcclellan |
and George II. Pendeton. | can prove It, |
And they have good reason for 1t too.
don't say this because | believe George y.
Mcclellan to be d traitor, for | don't believe
any such thing. But believe he is used
for the very purpose have stated and if
elected President he wound gather around
him sach men, as VailandighiIm Richmond
and Isralite Belmont. lie would be only
a tool IN the hands OF these men, through
which they would act in order to give the
Southern ConieJeracy its independence.

Not long ago there was speech made in
Southern Alabama 10y l.. j. McCurry. lie
