A "REMINISCENCES OF Mr.. PENDLEToN.

THAT THE ARMY COULD BE DANGEROUS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The debate which took
place in the Senate on the Army bill when that bill
was pending was as remarkable for the silence of
some Democratic Senators as for the speeches of
Others. Messrs. Lamar, Gordon, Mcdonald Pendle-
ton and several others who generally have some
thing to say upon every important question, simply
voted with their party but made no speeches. why
was it is question that many people have
asked. and no one has answered Can it be possible
that their individual views did not accord with
those of the caucus or that foreseeing the present
dilemma of their party, they were hold
ing themselves IN a position to help it Quit
There Is good reason to suppose that at least one
Democratic Senator estimates at their true value
the cries of pretended alarm by which his party
associates have strven to arouse the country con-
corning the use of troops at the polls and the mem
ace to the civil liberty of 100000 people from
a standing army Of $4,000 men. Mir. Pendleton
knows that all this talk is nsincere, and bis friends
recall time when he had the courage TO stand up
in Congress and denounce similar talk.
On the 18th of March, 1858, Mr.. Pendleton made
speech in the House of REPRESENTATIVES in favor of
an increase of the Army, and i'll the course of it he
discussed this very subject. Of the use OF troops
at the polls he said:

Territory the political parties have met at an cleo
ton upon an issue joined and hive conducted it peace
fully.
On the other point Mr.. Icndleton spoke even
more posi- lively He said:

WASHINGTON. May 2.-The Democratic Senators

Several Senators refused to enter the meeting, al

The more probable reason is that they would not
be bound any further 20 the course which might be
marked out by the caucus unless it should be III
