SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1862 The New Democratic Platform Mr. CHARLEs INGEIIsoLL, of this city, has written a etrapda. eiteehing the Union, the Constitution, the President, Mr. SEWARD, and everybody indeed but Mr. Dews and General BEAUREDARD. In order that our readers may understand the arguments, theories, and hopes of the Disunion Democrats in our midst, wo matte a number of brief extracts from Mr. Inay.ntior.L's pamphlet—the ablest vindiett• tion we have read of the new Democratic principles. People of lt ennsylvania, these are the sentiments of a leader in this now Demo- cratic party—a party which, according to its leaders, is to cc sweep the North in October, restarts the Union, and bring peace to our land" : If the President end his advisers were reliable men though the philosophy of freedom teaches to distrust power, every citizen with the love of -- try in his breast, would be disposed, in a great emergency, to bestow on them a liberal confidence. Ills want of force and their want of virtue are the vies of our position, We see now, in the first stage of our disturbances, the proneness of power to usurpation and violence ; we witness audacities which, a year ago, would have been prommneed impossible. We may not be right, we people of Perinsylva,- via, who have seen no enemy since Sir William Howe loft ; but these are our opinions of the war now waging against our brethren of the South. We take up the argument eeL false pkinelphs when we take it up in anger, and make it turn on the South being wrong. The simple truth is, that, of the men now upper most, no small number have so long and so cordially hated the government of the - 'country, that they may be said to have hated the country itself and under their present cry for the flag and the war, conceal a strong desire of deadly mischief. Each military success being an addition to the strength of the Abolitionista j the cry of emancipa tion, which is disunion, is only the louder for it. To be in favor of the Union is one thing, to be in favor of the Union and the Constitution is another. What these men want is to keep the Union and break up the Constitution ; and in that sense they are all for the Union. That late respectable cut throat, Mr. John Brown, was in fryer of the 7mm Mr. Lincoln is said to be a woll-meaning man, and perhaps is so, having in that, however, no ad vantage over nineteen-twentieths of his fellow citizens. It 13 emphatically to the hard are d tozoompro miszng course, of the friends of Mr. Lincoln we hare to attribute as its immediate cause our present unhappy condition. The South conducting themselves no worse than would any ' njured and perplexed minority. Fort Sumpter was fired upon and fell. It was a fitting prelude to the Mason and Slidell dilemma. There the Government waited and were swept into diA t ,torac.,Vall pow here they waited and were swept into uncompromisiag war. Out of the extreme purposes of some of the Southern leaders, the greediness of the seekers of office, the malignant violence of the Abolitionists, and the miserable Igeaknovo - of the President, came the final event of actual secession. Let Mr. Lincoln remember equal justice, and be ready with terms of gentle peace. Let him take deem from the Arden of the Union hie vile aortal of Unconditional Stelmetssion, and write there Con ciliation and Comprontzse! And would it be asking too much of amegiSrate whom teemed° and can unmake? Should tile wad and desperate game, now play. leg, of Union and Emancipation, give us no Union, and only Emancipation, they will do well to re member that revolutions, which Barrere said are not made -a-ells rose mate,, when they 00t110 to bad end, usually find in the leaders of them the first vtettims of a deluded and exasperated people. And let the Republican party put their houses in order against the day when revolution, in rags, may march up to the doors of every one of us. It is infinitely more probable now that eighteen months hence we shall be paying the last penalty of civil discord, than eighteen months ago it was that we should be where we are to-day. What is the difference between the two Govern ments tat Washington and Richmond I on the hotel of opposition to the Union? Have tea in the North for/2b..1, to v,alt7 voralized, for a Democratic House of I tepresent4- tives, which cannot take their seats until Decem ber, 1563; as the passengers wait and cling to a ehirtoreeked ves , el l and gaze helplessly at sea and shy, towed about by the tempest, BO many dap more ? The State as deep in, corruption, and we its citizens, exhaust our pockets, empty our veins, erd peril one liberties in civil strifetehieh could bare been ended a year ago, without raising a man or expending a dollar—for the proat of political leaders. It that Almighty and beneficent Being to wh E - 01330 of our pulpits pray for success in the shock of battle, that we may make deeper gashes in our brothers' bosoms than they can make in ours, that our swords may be sharper than theirs, our artil lery more crushing, would vouchsafe more humble supplications, to enlighten the understanding and change the heart of Mr. Line*, it is not too late yet to restore peace and Union. Thus you have the views of the cetizene of this midland region, who look to compromise with the South. That the Democratic party, which carried the State at the last election, and will sweep it at the nest, will insist on an earnest and persistent droit, be it successful or unsuccessful, to restore the Union by measures of conciliation, you may be sure. Washington—whose great name, like everything clue that is Eimeriettn, mtcal foil' Takla ‘lca and will come down from that of the founder of an Empire to that of the author of an unsuccessful experiment. But the main difficulty ill with the North—the North rrtled by the Abolitionists. While their do minion lasts, the difficulty is insuperable. To el:ippon the Government will mean that we support lavild authority' in lareful courses ? and oppose it in xi/ others. I. 13, Lippincott At Co It is a matter of congratulation for Philadelphia, that, notwithstanding the financial storms which have recently shaken some of our commercial houses, the great publishing firm of J. B. Lippin• cott Co. possesses not only the means, but the courage, to erect a palace of trade in Market street. The situa(ion is above Seventh, on the site of the old ti White Hall Hotel," and the building will ex tend to Filbert street, a stretch of 356 feet, with a marble front on Market street, near fifty feet wide. Here the building will be five stories high, with basement. The Filbert street portion will be 71 feet wide, and six stories high. The salesroom; for retail as well as wholesale trade, will be atlita bly fitted up with simple elegance. Adjoining the warehouse in the rear, and communicating with it, will be a fre•proof building, one hundred and fifty feet long, for printing offices and bindery. The rooms will be designed for, and adapted to, the va rious arts connected with the manufacture of books. Mr. Samuel Sloan is the architect. The 4.1 n. of J. rt. Lippincott and eu., at pre sent carried on in 22 and 24 North Fourth street, Is of a two-fold character. As furnishing booksellers, supplying books and 14AiSinCry yo 5,Q00 wholcsalo correspondents, they do a larger trade than any other house in the United States. As publishers, they are also very extensive. Their printing office, containing thirteen presses, is now in North Fifth street. There, too, is one of their binderies, another being in North Fourth street. Under the arrange ments of the new building, which will be completed during the present season, the various prosesses of making and publishing books will be all performed under one roof. Bippincott 3.7 Co. aro agents for, and co-pah lisherS of, the numerous and valuable works of A. & C. Black and W. & R. Chambers, Edinburgh. They are now simultaneously bringing out Cham bers' Et/y.3014:T0% end The /look of Days,—pub lications of admitted value and reliability. Their own stereotypes have cost over $300,000,—a vast sum to be sunk in such stook. However, they hate none but selling works in this position. Among the standard works published by Lippin cott & Co., we may mention the library edition of Bnlwer's novels ; Schoolcraft's Indian and Explo ration books Aye editions of Seott's novels; the whole of Prescott's valuable historical writings in 15 •volumes Svc.; Websteea aeries of Dictionaries, and Lippincott's Pronouncing Quzettear, which, by the way, supplies mach local information in report ers and war correspondents, who rarely are so just as to acknowledge it. Historical and Juvenile, as well ati Law and Medical works, are on their list. In the medical department may particularly be mentioned such authors as Beck, Guthrie, Leidy, and Wood. During the last twelve month; they have largely issued military books, original and translated, to meet the popular demand. CM - WS Ornithological works, and Sloan's va rious treatises on AMID. _ec.t nre, are mg N g there publications, as well as a splendid comprehensive Commentary on the Bible, in imperial octavo, and an Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. Lip pineott's large and valuable series of school•books is known all over the United States. In Bibles and Prayer Books, of all sizes and at all prices, this house makes the largest sales in America. To the friends of a gentleman, whose death we recorded •yesterday, it may be interesting to know that among Lippincott's announcements of works in the press is the following; " Recollection, "Mete iical, Political, Biographical, and Social, of Charles J. Ingersoll. By experience, presenting Annals/ with Portraitures of Personages in this Country, from Clenetls arrival in 1792, to the Purchase of Louisiana in 1803; with which increase of the origi nal United States, many of their great events, phy sical and constitutional, are supposed to be connect ed. 2 Vols., octavo."

Governor Johnson was then called for with prolonged and hearty applause. The Governor said that be had no wish to speak. Be wished this to be the people's meeting I and let them control its course. Ile hoped it would be toe beginning of a series of similar meetings. In past years as used to be denominated Whigs and Democrats. These parties bad their measures—one advocating, the other opposing, a United States Bank, a protective tariff, and a I distribution of the proceeds of the sale of Mlle lands. Bow did they conduct their campaigns? The Whigs ; marched up to the platform to the tunes of Hail Columbia, and Yankee Doodle, under the folds of the national nag. i The Democrats, too, came in martial array, play. ing the same patriotic airs, and bearing the tame banner a' the Union. Our contests were heated, and often bitter; but we all fought under the stars and stripes, and kept step to the mmic of the Union, What parties have we now, fellowicitizene I Let me reply, eir Chairman, by turning to you and saying that this is the proudest moment of my life; for the old divisions which once separated us are obliterated, and I meet you to-day on the noble platform of the Union. Let me take you by the hand, and with you pledge anew fealty and devotion to the :Velcro'. IllAon. Let us swear that we will nut survive it, but that if we must fall in this contest, we will ge down upon the battle field wrapped in the proud old Rag. We ask this only of eU men stow—'- Aug You FOR rig UNION 1" This is our tad, teat and watchword. On tide alone wo fight the battle, and under this sign we will conquer. or pour out our hearts' blood as a last libation to freedom and the Union. This is a great struggle for the right of man to self-government, and in this struggle, through sun and storm, through duet and heat, over mountain and valley, I will go forth with you to labor for the Union. One question underlies this whole matter. It is the great principle of popular government based on man's capacity to govern himself. Shall Democracy and free institu tion go down fotever in..this bloody and wicked re. volution'! The catchwords, slavery and abolition, have been used as mere pretexts to hide villainy and trea son from the eyes of the careless and credulous. As seen as the Southern leaders went out of office they to overthrew the Gevereeniet. The" are bent on establishing A monarchy or aristocriady Look, for °sample, at South Carolina, who led off in 6110 damnable revolution. She was anti-republican from the first. In the revolution of 1776 she was perfectly willing to make any concessions so at to remain suedes the eels of Great Britain. And the chief hope of the rebel leaders hes been British and French aid. If they relied on such aid would they not relapse into colonial vas 'Wage to Great Britoil , if the revolution was successful I Shall we close our ties to these facts, and be hurried away by the senseless clamor of 54 Southern Bighee," ""The North against the South," and such idle trash, the mere froth and ravings of lunatic politicians, to fol low after such men as Wigfall and Iverson, and be made vassals of Great Britain Let us not be led astray fram the hue issue by the tricks of fealty and ambitious ce seckers, who would destroy your liberties Our fathers fought seven years through privatlone, hardship!, and blocdelitd for freedom. Are you their lineal descendants, or has your blood mown thin and pale, awl will you bow to rebel marauders and traitore to the 'rights of man 1 The redeeming spirit of the people will come like the lava tide to sweep away and consume in its fury the foes of free government. Have you not hoard the earning faineant in the distant trees i Se sounds al ready the coming storm of freedom. Treason must be crushed out, and traitors punished. We mean to.punish intelligent and conscious traitors—not the men forced by conscription, threats and taunts of cowardice, into the rebel service, For them we plead mercy. Let them return to the old flag. But to the conscious traitors, who have drenched the land with frater nal and innocent blood, we extend no compro mise. Who is responsible I Look about your streets at the women draped in mourning, Who has hurried off their husbands and murderer their eons I I fear some of these mothers and sisters are responsible for their un timely death. To such I would say, you ought to pre pare to repent in saekcloth, for it is a fearful responsi bility you haveincurred. Instead of insulting the names of those . who hare died for their coulttrn YOU should bow your heads in sackcloth and shame.

Six Southern Senators refused to vote, and Clark's amendment was adopted by Two votes, in OOnrronAnell of their retinal to vote. Did they want a compromise'! [Cries of tt No! no!") The old charge was, that when the ltepublicans had the power, they would amend the Constitution so as to legis late on the subject of slavery. The defection of the South pave the Thipublieene the power. but they adopted a resolntion proposing an amendment to the Constitution that Congress should never have the power to legislate on slavery. It passed by a twa. thirds vote, Republi cans and all voting for it. Did Secesh vote 'I Not at all.

Operations at New Orleans_ OFFICIAL REPORT OF GEN. BUTLER llelbetrintrites DP.PiteerinVe or run arm>, - FOnTs JACKSON Ail PHILIP, April 29, 1802. To non. Edwin .31. Stanton, Secretary of War: eta : 1 have the honor to report that, in obedience to ms ilattillOtiOlia, I remained on the Migaillginli with the troop named in my former despatch, awaiting the action of the fleet engaged in the bombardment of the Forts Jackson and St. Philip. Failing to reduce them, after six days of incessant fire, Flag-Officer Farragut determined to attempt their passage with his whole bet, except that part thereof under the immediate command of Ceptain Porter, known as the mortar fleet On the morning of the 24th inst., the fleet got under weigh, and twelve vessels, including the four sloops-of war, ran the gauntlet of fire of the forte, and were safely shove. Of the gallantry, courage, and conduct of this heroic action, unprecedented in naval warfare, consi— dering the character of the works and the river, too much Cannot be said. Of its casualties and the details of its nerformance the flan officer will Mao au account to the Pieper department. I witnessed this (Uri* exploit from a point about eight hundred yards fiom Fort Jack- On, and unwittingly tinder its fire, and the sublimity of the sera* can never be exceeti,;,.t •.-- - • . "The neat pressed on np the river to Nazi' Orissa ing tun gunboats to protect the Quarantine station, fire miles above. In case the forts were not reduced and a portion of the fleet got by them, it had been arranged, between the llag•ofticer and myself, that I should make a letting from the Gull side, in the rear of the forts at the Quarantine, and from thence attempt Fort St. Philip by storm and assault, while the bombardment was continued by the fleet. I in mediately went to Sable Island with my transports, twelve miles in the rear of Fort 51. Philip, the nearest point at which a suMcient depth of water could Do found for them. Captain Porter put at my disposal the Miami, drawing seven and one-half feet, being the lightest draught vessel in the fleet, to take the troops from the ship as far in so the water would allow. Re were de• layed twenty-four hours by running inhere at Pam a POutre. The Twenty-sixth Regiment Raseeilue , ets Vo lunteers, Colonel JOIIOP, were then put on board her, and carried within six miles of the fort, where she again grounded. Captain Irerttt, of the Fixth Maleachueette Battery, having fully reconnoitred the waters and bayous in that vicinity, and, foreseeing the necessiti , I had collected and brought with me some thirty boats, into which the troops were again trenubippett, end conToyud, by a most fatiguing slid laborious row, some four and a half miles further, there being within one mile of the steamer only two and a half feet ol water. A large portion of this passage was against a heavy currtint ;lamb 4 4794, At the entrance of kramperp canal, a cane and a blur from the point of landing, rowing became impassible, at well from the narrowness of the canal, as the strength of the current, which ran like a will race. Through this the boats could only be im pelled by dragging them singly, with the men up to their ..-meta In the w ater. It is clue to this flue regiment, and to a portion of the Fourth Wisconsin Volunteers, and enty• first Indiana, who landed under this hardship without a murmur, that their labors should be made known to the Department, as well as to acount for the slowness of our operation.. The enemy evidently considered this mode of attack impossible, as they had no measures t) orpose it, which might very easily have been successfully done. We occupied at once both sides of the river, thus gradually cutting them off from all auppllea, lurormit tiou, or succor, while we movie our disposition for the assault. Meantime, Capt. Porter had sent into the bayou, in the rear of Fort Jackson, two schooners of hie mortar fleet to prevent the elope of the enemy from the fort in that direction. la the hurry and darkness of the passage of the forte the flag officer had overlooked three of the enemy's gun boats and the iron-clad battery Louisiana, which were at amber under tho walls of the fort. Supposing that all the rebel boats had been destroy ed (and a dogen or more had been), he.passed on to the city, leaving these in his rear. The iron steam. battery being very formidable, Capt. Porter deemed it prudent to withdraw his mortar fleet some miles below, where be could have room to ma. nceuvre it it attacked by the iron monster, and the bom bardment ceased. I had got Brig. Gen. Phelps in the river below, with two regiments, to make demonstrations in that direction, if it became possible, On the night of the 27th, learning that the fleet had got the city under its guns, I left Brigadier General Williams in charge of the lauding of the troops, and went up the river to the flag•chip to procure light draft trans portation, That Light the larger portion (about two hundred and nun or the garrinou of Fort Jacisson, men tioned, spiked the guns bearing up the river, came up and orrendezed themselves to my pickets, declaring that, as we had got in their rear, reeletance was useless, and they wopist pet be eacrilleed. No bomb had beep Ortvwp rheas for three Cam nor bad they fired a phut at ue from either tort. They averred that they bad been impressed, and would light no longer.
