REITERATEs PEACE SENTIMENTS.
On the 3lst of January, 1868, after two
years of war, after every patriotic man
had determined that rebels in arms
must cease their war on the national flag
and submit to the national authority
Mr.. Pendleton reiterated the sentiments
we have before given. tCong. Globe
vol. 81, page 854.
II have been in favor of peace from
the beginning Of this sectional contro'
versy."
''I said two years ago on this floor that

SECESSION ON THE PART OF
THE NORTHWEST.
Mr.. Pendleton then uttered the fol-
lowing threat, to deter the Government
from using every means within its reach
to overthrow the rebellion, to deter the
from arming negroes:
"The people of the Northwest were
carried away by the excitement of April
and May. They believed that wal
would restore the Union. They
feel that the war has been perverted
from this end; that the Constitution has
been disregarded; that abolition and
arbitrary power, not union and consti-
liberty, are the governing ideas
of the Administration. They are in no
temper to be trjled i0ith. They think
then hare been deceived. They are suf-
fering from the death OF relatives and
friends. They are longing for peace.
There is danger of revolution. There is
danger Hi0t they may see no ertricotion
from present difficulties but an separation.

here: false to you, my
fellow Representatives, if 1 did not tell
YOU that there is an impression growing
with great rapidity upon the mind of the
people of the Northwest, that they have
been deliberately deceived into this aOay;
that their patriotism and their love of
country have been engaged to call them
into the army under the pretese that
war was to be for the Union and the
aohen, in fact, it aCds to be
an armed crusade for the abolition Of

is speedily arrested it will
become universal; it will ripen into con-
viction, and then it will be beyond your
power TO get from their broad plains
ANOTHER MAN or from their almost EX-
HAUsTED GOLFERS ANOTHER DOLLAR. f."
What sweeter comfort could have Mr..
Pendleton given the armed traitors than
to have stood up in his place as Repre-
sentative of the patriotic people of the
Great Northwest, as he did, and tell
them that his people would not furnish
another man and that their Golfers were
exhausted? What other encouragement
did the rebels want to cause them to
persist in their wicked course?
REFUSES TO CENsURE THE SECRETARY OF
THE NAVY.
1t will be remembered that under the
of Mr.. Buchanan's Sec
retary of the Navy, Isaac Toucey, the
war ships of the Government had been
scattered to distant parts of the world.
so that they could not be used, when the
rebels made their attack on the nation.
Mr.. Poucey accepted without delay Oh

the Navy, who were in arms against the

imposed upon them by their commissions
on engaging in hostility To the constitu

On the I'd of March, 1861, Mr.. Dawes
of Massachusetts,, reported Il resolution
pronouncing "this conduct grave error
highly prejudicial to the discipline o
the service and injurious to the honol
and efficiency of the Navy; for which be

censure of this House,"

there were 95 yeas TO 62 nays. Among
those voting in the negative was Geo

VOLUNTEERS.
On the 18th of July, 1861, Mr.. Pendle

the President to accept the services o

laws and preserving and protecting the
public property. and appropriated frt
instead of four hundred million dollars

CHEATING THE GOVERNMENT.
On the 18th of January, 1862, Mr.
Campbell asked leave to introduce res
olution, insrrucling the House Judiciary
Committee to examine into the eXped

and thus prevented its introduction
