pendleton az Vioe President

We are told that there are some
who do not believe in The peace party
or the peace platform, who expect ic
vote The Chicago ticket for the sake
Of voting for Mcclellan. We are
quite certain that il their first desires
are for the safety OF their country,
they will, on second thought, do no
such thing. Whatever Mcclellan may
be, there is 10 doubt as TO PendIeton,
From, the time when the Southern
conspirators made their first move
down 10 the present day, his public
career has been consistent, and his
sentiments openly expressed. He is
peace man, and has always been,
with Vallandigbam and Wood, a lead
er Of that liill, knot of factious oppo.
silionisis who have formed the extreme
peace wing Of the Democratic rarty.
He recently took occasion publicly TO
thank God that he had ''never voted
or given dollar in support OF The war,
or IN payment Of abolition soldiers"
He blieves that the South had right
10 secede, and The North no right to
interfere. lie ever has been, and still
Is, ready TO LEI his Southern brethren
depart in peace. II Mcclellan is elect
ed President, this man is elected Vice
President. If Mcclellan should die
during his term of office, Pendleton
becomes President. This has happen
ed twice in the history Of our country,
and may happen again. II any one
thinks OF voting the Chicago ticket be-
cause the name of Mcclellan is on il,
lei him ask himself il he has any right,
Tor The sake Of gratifying bis personal
feelings with regard 10 any candidate,
10 risk Tie safety Of country upon so
uncertain a thing as the life Of a man.

We publish on our first page The
speech Of Alexander II Stevens, the
Vice Prcsiden, Of the Southern Con
iederacy, delivered in January, 1901,
before the secession Convention Of
Georgia. We presume most Of our
readers have seen tie speech before,
Bot il viii be well 70 give il another
perusal, The speaker asks what right
vi the South has been assaulted by the
North, and challenges an answer. We
hcave never head nm answer from
either Southern secessionist or North
ern democrat. No one in the Geor-
gia Convention attempted 10 refute
Mr. Stevens at the time, and North
ern sympalhizers with the South have
been careful to avoid his argument eY-
er since. The speech is simply unan-
swerable it contains statement Of
facts which cannot be explained away.
The South always had the whole pow
er under the Union, and in fact had
at the very time Of secession. The
Democracy bad majority in the SEN
ate, and Abraham Lincoln was pow
erless TO injure the South. They had
enough votes there to carry the Crit
tenden Compromise, IN; two or three
Of them refused to vote in order that
il might be lost. They wished TO
plunge the South into rebellion, though
they could give no reason for their
conduct; and the result has been
