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

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."
Messrs. Lippincott's Photograph Albums, the va
rieties and manufacture of which we recently de
morlbeel, are omens the WIMP best made. They have
entered largely into this trade.

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

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.

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

When five or six of the enemy's gunboats, and two cr

disastrous consequences, but, as she was speeding to the
crippled craft, the Benton fired two of her rifled Dahl

Mcßae, and elm exploded with a tremendous noise, which

After the Mcßae bad passed out of eight, and white the
Van Dorn and another ram, called the Sumpter, were

to the Cincinnati, and towed her to the Tennessee shore.

The Sumpter bad struck the Mound City twice with
her iron prow, but bad done her little damage, while the
gunboat had riddled the ram, and so alarmed the sharp.
shooters that they remained silent, cowering behind their
defences. The Van Dorn finally had a favorable chance,
and struck the Mound City with great force on the bow,
calming a large leak, which there was no time to attempt

Excellent Performance of the Benton.
The Benton was tow near the ratite, which were so
afraid of the flag-ship, knowing her superior strength,
that they steamed away from her as soon as possible.
The Benton placed herself between the Van Dorn and
Sumpter, and tired lour or five guns at a third rant,
which was running toward the Carondelet, and, striking
her wheels and triachinerY„disabled her.

For four or five minutes the Benton, under the control .
