Convention, ard What Was Said
There.

We have already given extracts
from the proceedings of this scanda-
lousy disloyal gathering, and do not
think we can do greater service to
the Union cause than to continue In
the same course, and give other and
further extracts, showing the real spir-
it of that most reasonable body.
While we orepublish this damning
record against the Democratic
traitors who sought at Chicago
to destroy this Government, let it
be remembered -sthat the Ledger,
of this city, supported that treason
able body, and urged the election OF
the candidates there nominated.
There never was, at any time, so much
reasonable language used in the
Richmond rebel Congress as there
was at that Democratic Convention at
Chicago. The language was the vii
est and most abusive, the sentiments
uttered the most reasonable, and the
persons attending the Convention were
the most violent and disorderly rebels
In the land We have not, however,
room for further comment, and must
proceed to make our extracts Mr..
u. Chauncey Burr, prominent New
York Democrat, and editor of . The

time for action had come. He would

been the wont of the people of
America for the last three years.
During that time, spies and informers
had been on the track of the people.
and, in point of fact, we had lived un-
der despotism worse than that of
Austria. The people had submitted
to that despotism, not because of
want of courage, bravery, or pluck,
but because they were a law-and order
people. They had patiently waited
for change in the policies of Lin
coins administration, but it had been

they had submitted to these acts of.
despotism. And it was wonder that.

/, Al this Chicago Convention Mr..
Pendleton, of Ohio, was nominated as
Vice President. Let him describe his
position himself On the 18th of Jan
uary, 1861, he made a speech in Con-
gress, which was afterwards revised
and printed in the Globe. In this
speech we find the following passage:
My voice to-day is for Cancellation;
my voice is for compromise, and it is
but the echo of the voice of my con-
stituents. [ beg you, gentlemen, who
withyme represent the Northwest; you
who, with me, represent the State of
Ohio; you who, with me, represent
the city of Cincinnati, | beg you, gen
tlemen, to hear that voice. If you
will not; if you find Cancellation i'm
possible; if your differences are so
great that you cannot or lCiU not recon-
