/ OR VICE.PREsDENT. GEORGE n.
PENDLErON.


Those who vote for MCCLELLAN must
necessarily at the same time cast their suC-
frages for GEORGE II. PENDLEToN. It Is,
Therefore, of as much Importance to an intelli-
gent citizen to ascertain the record of the
candidate for Vice-President as il is that of
the nominee for President Let us, therefore,
see what Mr.. PENDLEToN said on the 18th of
January, 1861. Rising in his seat in the House
of Representatives, in the presence of the
whole nation, he uttered the following words
as the candid exponents of his opinion:-
my voice to-day is for Cancellation; my
" voice is for compromise. / beg you, gentle
men, to hear that voice. If you will not if
you find Cancellation impossible; if your diff
ferences are so great that you cannot or will
not reconcile them, then, gentlemen, let the
seeded States depart in peace; let them
" estdbHsh their Government and empire, and
ioorh out their destinyl according to the
toiadom Which Cod has giuen them"
Consent to a peaceful dissolution of the
Unionl Shatter at one blow the glorious
editlce on which WASHINGTON and JEFFER-
SON, HAMILTON and FRANKLIN worked |
Yield to traitor hands the millions which It
cost to purchase Florida and Louisiana
Such are the doctrines advocated by GEORGE
Fl. PENDLEroN. And this very man daringly
demands Of the North their aid to place him in
position in which he can carry into execu-
tion his cherished scheme. No loyal man can
support a candidate who openly acknowledges
such sentiments.
But Mr.. PENDLEsoN, after pause grows
atlectiOnate and magnanimous. He wishes to
testify his love to the Southern States. He
says:-"They tmy constituency love the
Union above all things; but if a dissolution
" is inevitable they want it in peace.
II these Southern States cannot be con-
ettidted-if you, gentlemen, cannot find IL in
your hearts TO grant their demands-if they
"must leave the family mansion, would sig
nalize their departure icth tokens of love
l would bid them farewell 30 tenderly, that
they would forever be touched with the
recollection of IL, so that If ever, in the vics-
situdes of separate existence, Hsy should
desire TO come together with us again under
one government, there should be no pride TO
be humiliated, there should be no wound in
ticted from my hand to be healed. They
should come, and be welcome TO the places
they now occupy"
"Signalize their departure by tokens of
loye;' Bid them farewell so tenderly." Yes,
we would be tender and loving; we would
give them tokens of departure in the shape OF
some ore extracted from our iron hills, and
write on their memory the remembrance of
the tender iarewells with the blood of the
retiring traitors. i, we cannot conciliate
the South"--conciliutc the South as though
1t was the duty of the National Government to
attempt TO "concilate' her rebellious chill
dren The cannon, sword and bayonet
should be the means Of Cancellation until their
enmity i7 subdued, md they take their places
as forgiven suppliants in the national house,
hold.
Mr.. PENpLEroN viii be obliged hereafter
to exert his influence in less extended
sphere, and deliver his conciliatory" speeches
to an audience less august than the National
Legislature.
