Nevertheless, the news spread rapidly, a band was engaged, and a ser enade appointed at o o clock As Mr. Pendleton was the guest ok our friend Val laud ighami a "crowd soon began to assemble in. front oCMr. V.'s residence, which was augmented to thousand by the ar rival of an immense procession, headed by the band- We hazard nothing when we Say that the numbers in attendance exceeded as ten to one the republican meeting of the night be fore, which had been advertised by posters all over the country for a wek preceding Mr. Pendleton, being loudly called for, came forward and spoke aa follows "Ladies and Qe.vtlehen I thank you for this very flattering compliment: I thank you for this manifestation of the hospitality -of Dayton, which ha9 become proverbial throughout the United .States. "At 4 o'clock this .afternoon I did not expect to be here this evening. I came imex. pectedly, on purely personal business, disconnected with public -'affairs.'-' I hal no idea of seeing any number of niy fellow citizens or discussing political questions. ; "This immense concourse, thus suddenly convened, fills. me with renewed hope; it gives me confidence that soon again you will be called together not as now to commence a vigorous contest, but to rejoice over its results to rejoice that the powers of the government will be again in the possession of the democratic party, whose leneficeut principles, racentiy solemnly announced in national convention, will bring us peace, maintain - the rights of the states, rein vigorate the union, and, with peace and union, will secure us the blessings of personal liberty, material prosperity, and national power. But I will not repay your kindness by detaining you with a speech; intended only to thank you for the honor you have done me, and now I beg leave to wish you good night." . Mr! Vallandigham was next called, and responded in a masterly .speech of half an hour, which was repeatedly interrupted by cheers. lie spoke in defence of the democratic party and of state rights and peace, and in support of the Chifcago platform. The democratic party was a state rights party --a constitutional party a union party and just now a peace party. Jt was his party and its candiiates were his candidates. It bore .the ark of the covenant; it carried the fortunes of the republic, and in its success lay the only hope of the republic. The Chicago platform enunciated ita -policy, and principles; by authority and was binding upon every democrat, ana oy u the democratic -administration - must" and should be governed. It was the Only author ised exposition of the democratic creed and he repudiated all others. The unity and barmd-nv of the partv were essential to success, and. without success in November, the country is loek :In conclusion, he declared his -purpose to vote for the .nominees or the Chicago con-vention as the only hope Of securing the defeat of Lincoln and the rescue of the republic. :'.', ;v -. - itf.

Washington was electrified to-day by the publication of the following letter from Senator Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, who was elected by his state Legislature opposed to the Democratic party, and who in the Senate acted not unfrequently with the Republican por tion of that body. Let him speak for himself, as the oldest senator in Con gress: Saratoga Springs, Sept. 14. Gentlemen : Your invitation to the meeting to. be held in Washington on the 1 th mst. to ratify the nomination of McClellan and Pendleton is but just received. It will be out of pay power to be with you, my stay n ere lor some uays lon ger being Unavoidable. Opposed as 1 was to the original election of Mr. Lincoln to the station he now occupies, from a conviction of his being unequal to its duties, the manner in which he has met them, has but confirmed me in that opinion. With more than two millions of soldiers placed in his hands and an unlimited amount of treasure, his policy and his manner of using his power, instead of putting the rebellion down and bringing to our ranks the thousands of Union men who were then in each of the seceded states, and who, in some, are believed to outnumber the rebels, have but served the. double pur pose of uniting them a stains t us and of a -. aj j dividing the public opinion of the loyal states. 1 he effect, of course, is th: notwithstanding the gallant deeds of our army and navy, and the manifest justice of our cause, the Union is- even more effectually broken now than it was when his administration commenced. Whatever ot honesty ot purpose may belong.to him, and I am willing to ad mit that he has had it, his vacillation, his policy now conservative now radical, his selection of military officers crossly incomDetent. his treatment of J a . a . . . ' - - those who were evidently competent, his yielding in this to what he has him self been otten heard to say as an ex cuse, was, "outside pressure," his hav ing not only not punished, but as far as the public know, unrebuked the vandal excesses of military officers of his special selection, shocking the sentiment of the world, and disgracing us in the view of Christendom by the burning of private dwellings, and depriving their often ex clusively female occupants of home and means of livelihood all demonstrate that he is grossly incompetent to gov ern the country in this crisis of its fate. How can an honorable man believe that one who has so signally failed for almost four entire years, can be successful, if another four years be granted him? No one in Congress, certainly Not twenty members believe him equal or at all equal to the mighty task. He has been tried and found wanting. Let us h'ave a change, none, if loyal, can be for the worse. It is not that we wish to use his own classic- figure to swap horses in the. midst of a stream, but that when we are on a iourney and safety depends on making our destina tion'at the earliest moment, we should cast aside a 'spavined and thin horse, and secure a sound and active one. In General McClellan we are furnish ed in the history of his life, in the puri ty of his character, his refinement, his attainments, civil and : military, and, above all in his perfect loyalty every assurance that, under his executive cruidance. the war, how so exhaustive of treasure and blood, will be soort brought to a triumphant termination, and this Union which "at all .hazards he will never agree to surrender, wil be restored.

They "Can 2Iake Better.ferms ot Peaoe with an Anti-Slavery Fanatic than with an Earnest Unionist' From tse Ricbmood Enquirer, Sapt. 5. The democratic nominees in the Unt ted States are McClellan for president, and Pendleton for vice-pesident. What concern have the people of these Con federate States in the fate of these can didates at the approaching election? In our opinion, the interest and hope of peace is not greatly advanced by these nominations. From Gen. McClellan our people can have but little hope of peace, Other than a reconstruction peace. What hope do his antecedents hold out that should en courage our people to believe that he would yield our nationality any sooner than Mr. Lincoln ? lie is by far the more dangerous - man for us; had his policy been persistently followed, and the war conducted on the principles of civilized warfare, he might have divided our people and perhaps, conquered our liberties. With consummate abili ties he clearly foresaw that emancipation might possibly free the negroes but could not unite the sections; that confiscation might enrich his soldiers. but could not reconcile our people ; hence, with an earnest and honest love for the . union, he avoided those fataj acts, and conducted the war for the restoration of the union.' rather than the destruction of the south. His policy was the olive branch in " one hand and the sword in the other, to conquer b power and conciliate by kindness. was a dangerous policy for us; for if the ameliorating hand of federal kindness had softened the rigors of war, our people wheuld not have been subjected to those terrible fires of suffering by which Mr.; Lincoln has hardened every heart and steeled every sentiment against our merciless foes. . As a sincere secessionist, preferring war and p.ationality to peace and the union, we looked upon the fact of a difference between Mr. Lin coin and Gen. McClellan as to the prop er policy of conducting the war, as . peculiarly fortunate for our cause. We hailed the proclamations of emancipa tion and confiscation and the policy of plunder and devastation as sure pledges of our ultimate triumph; they were ter rible ordeals but tbey'most effectually eradicated every sentiment of union and arousing the pride as well as the . aw" - m -m interest ot our people, lnnamea tne pa triotism of the whole, until they would have accepted death as preferable to ul timate defeat. . Now, between McClellan and Lincoln there are many points of difference the former is a man of talents of mforma tion, of firmness and. great military ex perience and ability the latter is i supple, pliant, easy fool, a cood but vulgar Joker. While McClellan has the interest of the union only at heart, Mr. Lincoln has the farratical: objects of freeing- ne groes for his inspiration. Between "my plan" as General Grant has . con ducted it, and one by General McClel lan, there could not have been the same ""--"" v e w success that nas aireaay attended our arms for we lost more men fighting the science of McClellan on the Peninsula than we have in repelling the' . furious but ill conducted assaults of General Grant. . - Thus whether we look at the nomination in the light of peace or war we prefer Lincoln to McClellan. We can make better terms of peace with an . "aw - .a "a anti-slavery lanatic tnan with an - ear nest unionist. We can gain more, mill tary success in a war conducted on "my plan than one of a real soldier like Mc Clellan, and sooner destroy the", resour ces and strength, of our enemy, where they are managed and manipulated by the light-fingered, gentry qf Messrs Chase and Fessenden, than when hue banded and skillfully controlled by such a man as Uuthne. Our best . hope is from the honest fanatics of the United States; men, wjio believe in their hearts that slavery is the "sum of all villain iea,". and .who really and sincerely. .Relieve it to ,be their duty -to separate their' country from this "relic . of; bar barism.",: Such men. when they find tthat their people are tired of the war. will end it by a- peace that . sacrifices territory to freedom, and will let the south go provided she carries slavery with her. These men believe no less that the jrt! powers bf-the-government are derived from the consent of the goy4 etned, than Mtnatraii men are created free and equaU'N The two postulates are 0f like importance to :an abolition ist;- " ;'' v- :: " Both the abolitionist and r the demo crat is onr enemythe orieV because we have slaves the other,' because we are dfsuhronists.': Ker does their enmity TlilTer'in degree theyboth hAte us most intenselya The Chicago -"jlatfornt ' is that peace may oVrestoredTon the basis of the federal nnion.of the atateV-r that is: reconstrnction of tha Mmion . as it was. with slarery protected Aby nominal laws, but warred upon , by , a real sentiment, aggraratedand embittered by the war The reconstructed onion of the Chicago platform would be the certain destTOction -Crst cf slayery, and next of slaveholder. ; With Lincoln and the Baltimore platforma: e of the confederate states know where ire are outside of the pale of mercy, devoted to ruin and destruction, with no hope save in the justice . and protection of God, and the courage and manliness of our soldiers and peopW With swords and muskets and cannon we fight Lin coin, and the'past affords noeasbns!bf apprehension of the futurei But in the reconstructed union of the Chicago platform, wo, would be deprived of our weapons without being.reconciled to our foes. There is no question that between the two men Gen. McClellan enjoys far more of the" respect of the people of these states than Lincoln, and the demo cratic party faf more of our confidence than the republican, and if reconstruction were possible it would be more probable under General McClellan and the democracy than under Lindoln and the republicans. The Northwest in spires one, and New England the other; but as long as New England imposes the dogmas of her civilization and the tenets of her fanaticism upon the mind and people of the northwest, there may be peace and separation, but there never can be union and harmony- If the northwest desires the restoration of the union,' let its people shake off the bon dage of New England and show to the world that a new era of toleration and fraternal kindness has risen in the place of fanatical pufitanism and selfish ostra cism. AdveTtiaamenL '.-". Poor Rlehsrd's Reasens for buying: United States ftecurltiea. Tlie otber da., we he.ard a rich neighbor say he had rather have railroad stocks than tbe U. S. etocka, foi" (hey paid higher interest. Just then Poor Richard came up, and said that he had just bought some of Uncle tiam's three years notes, paying iliree-teolha percent, interest. My rieb- friend exclaimed, "You! I : thought vdi had no money to buy with." "Yea," Baid Richard, "I had a little laid up, against a wet day, and I have kept a little of my earnings by me." : Now Poor Richer! is known to all the country round to be a very . prudent and industrious, and withal, wise man ; for.Richard neve r learned anything he didn't know how lo make use of. and his wisdom and prudence had become a proverb, tkj. when he took out his savings and bought ths notes, more than bee was surprised, and it was no wonder rich Mr. Smith askt-d Why. ' So Poor Richard, in a Very quiet humble way for he never assumed anything replied,- I suppose, &fr. Smith," you know a great" deal belter than I do what to do with money, and how to invest; for t never had much, and all I got I had to work bard for. But I have " looked round a good deal upon my neighbors, and seen what they did with their money and I will tell you some-tliHtgH I saw and what I thought of it. One very rich man was always dealing in mOney, and he uiade a great deal, but was never satisfied without hiyh interest. So he lent most of his money to some people who he thought were very rich at a very high rate; and he often told how much he got, till one day the people he lent to went to smash. He got back about ten cents on a dollar of his money-: 1 know another old jrentleman, who had some bank stock and he went to the bank and got ten percent, dividend. The President and every body said it was the beet stock iu the country" paid ten per cent. But what did the old" man do but sell hi stock the next day ! Why? why? said everybody. Boca as e, it py to much dividend. And.jn six months the bank went to smash. Now, that 1 know lo W a fact. Well, Mr. Smith, you say railroad stocks are best, because, they pay high dvidendjr? Can yon tell how long they will pay them? ' I like railroad. I helped to build one, and I go in for useful thirigH. Brtt I tell. yon what I Inoxo about them. One-third of the railroad don't pay ay dividend, and two thirds (and : xoine of them crack etl up, too,) do not pay as much as Government stocks. Now that brings me to the Government securities, wnd I will tell you why -T prefer them. I- take it you will admit;-Mr. iSmith, that in the ling run the investment which is bel should . have these qualities: First, it should be pert<f e cure : seconly, that the income should .,bjej uniform, and permanent not up one year and down the next; and thirdly, that it ahowld be marketable, so when yonr wet day comes, and you want your .money, you can get it back. And I think these notes or' bonds have got these qualities more than any other krad of perron al property tou can aanre.- Try it." . ... '-First tlien,, I have been looking .into that great book worth much; but since 1 began to. study it, I tell you, I found oit a good many things very useful 'for me to know.
