PLATFORM THE UNION-THE CONSTITUTION-AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW. HARRISBURG, PA Wednesday Morning, Nay I, 1861 Wan ma Brustmoa was precipitated, and, when every rebel miscreant in the south was armed fqr his work of death, they relied more on the aid they were to receive from the north, than any power of their own in the south, to overthrow the government. They had not the fullest confidence in the ability of the southern masses to contend with the masses of the north. If such bad been the case, Washington city would have been in ashes more than a year ago The rebels, however, depended upon the dough-faces of the north for this part of the work. These same dough-faces had frequently done the dirty work of their southern political masters. They bad betrayed the interests of northern labor on the floors of Congress, and why shored they not be expected to betray the lives of northern men on the field of battle? They had joined with southern slave drivers in attempting the forcible introduction of slavery into territory that had been proclaimed free by the voice of a majority of the people of such territories, and why should they not join with their southern partizans in assisting to usurp the laws and destroy the Union ? Such was the reasoning of those who led the rebel lion, and such, too, was their expectation, be cause the same men that pledged their infa mous alliances with the south in its crusades on northern labor, interests and developments, also pledged their aid to the rebellion, with inch assurances as induced the leading traitors to believe that the dough-faces would do the fighting as they had heretofore done the voting, while the south would reap the exclusive ben efits and honors of the struggle. With the hope of northern aid entirely de stroyed; the rebels are as entirely left to their own resources, to prosecute the war. This disappointment has compelled them to 'change all the or plans. Had th, leaders of this north ern faction of Breckenridge men been true to their pledge, the pplicy of invasion, first plan ned by the rebels, would have. been adhered to, and the north, to-day, doubtless overrun by the rebels. We write doubtless, because we mean by the leaders being true to such prom ises, also the contingency of the masses of that faction submitting to such leadership. Bat when the masses turned indignantly on, • the leaders, (as they did in the case of the Patriot and Union,) the leaders, of course, began to declare a loyalty which they never felt, and to give the cause of the Union a support which is the more repugnant to them, because it was foreed and dishonest. In this emergen- 1 thenc the south no longer depends on the Breckenridge men in the north, but instead, therefore,' they now rely on -the climate to do ' for them what was promised to be accomplished by the &nigh-faces.. They wait for diaase tb achieve. what they are fearful to undertake. They anticipate that yellow fever will arrest invasion sooner than it can be impeded by their own bosoms and bayonets, and thus flyhig before our troops in the attitude of arrant cowards as well as traitors, they seek to escape the danger they have created; by making our troops the victims of the diseases they may contract. Such is now the attitude of the rebels. Oar troops are daily pushing their lines into the southern country. Our flags wave where but lately the rebel flag denoted. There is nothing left,. owl- troops but to take possession of the territory, of rebellion, and then trust in God for the preservation of their health. We are not compelled to keep large bodies of northern men in the tinted fever districts of the Gulf states ; and therefore they fear the ravages of disease over which tbe , beastly.southern . traitor and his more cowardly northern ally gloat, may.not be so fearful. The policy of garrissoning forte and arsenide with contrabands directed by acclimated officers, may disappoint these wretches, and give them an idea of the desola tion of this' rebellion, by making their own slaves the instruments of their own overthrow and humiliation. A lerimAlf MAN of some experience regards the evacuation of the rebel' ankles , se a part of their policy to effect a speedy junction of all their fortas, then to Make s stand, and give the federal' landed battle. The same gentle man is of opinion that the rebels will not en tirely yield before they have fought at least one great battle, and we agree <with -him on that point, because the leaders of the rebels cannot, get rid of their followers without giving them the opportunity of meeting death, as they fanatic:4ly suppose, nobly in defence of their oonntry..or locality. There is no doubt with us, that the rebels have a policy in their aban doning . theSe strongholds, and Inducing oar armies tpadmpee in their pursuit. But their best devised plans are bound to fall. In the end, they will be defeated, and must either be come exiles from, subdued by or obedient to, the government. Tne leaders cann,)t remain in the elbukiltry . , without submitting by their own will or.,being forced into solmnisetorkto the gov ernment. -However, all that we can now do is to await eVielte.as they transpire, and oonolude not to belistiirnhe4 at anything of-whith the traitors may *thme 'guilty.' NIEM FOE THE UNION A year ago, when the peril of the country seemed to be the greatest, and when also the Republican party had the control of the patron age of the government, one of the locofoco essentials of loyalty consisted of a demand that the Republican party should abrogate all politi cal distinctions, by dispensing the patronage and the positions of government equally among all loyal men. It was demanded .that parties should be - dissolved, and a union effected such as would at once strengthen the bonds of that other Union on which depended not only the permanency of state governments, but likewise the prosperity of in citizens. Not so (Ar t much in obedience to . whence this demand issued; as irti comp no) with their own sense of pattiotirmi, was the idea of a onion of all- : partied for the prenimption of the Union, responded to by the leaWtnen of the Republican organization. , We had every sacri flee. to make by such a union, because it bid fair to bring us into association and alliance with those. whose lives had been pilksed in maligning the .pure and upright man of our organization, and yet to subserve the ends of law and order; however repugnant - the asizilla- Lion may have been, the union was effec ted ' for the sake of the Union. The were Danie of the -Republican party is of small consequence, cOm pared to the fair fatue i of the country and the policy of suppressing rebellion by making its cause responsible for its effects. Yet the old locofoco party could not be taught this practi cal lesson. Its leaders were willing to enter into alliances, where there was a hope of success for some of their own favorites, and a prospect that treachery and deceit (after they had been invested with power,) would strengthen their organization, and thus secure them the monopo ly of the patronage of government. They offered terms to the Republican party, when they deemed that such a tender would result In the elevation to power of a Democratic demagogue ; and they reputed a like union when they suspected that power would thereby be placed in the hands of a loyal man 'and a patriot. Such was the action and the purpose of the Democratic leaden, within thtlast year— a purpose then unsuspected, :but an action which has since become part of the history of those events which for a tithe so seriously threatened the stability of the government. The same noble purpose which induced the Republic in party to yield its organisation to the pressure of danger one year ago, and nobly rally to the support of any man who was laboring in the defence of the Union, now induces it once more to place the power of that organization on the sacred altar of the country, and there in the faith of an un alterable devotion, swear eterna l allegiance . • to the perpetuity and prosperity of the Unit n. While with the creeds of that party there is touch that Is noble, much-that is glorious and peculiarly attractive in policy" and principle, to all of which under any other circumstances than those now surrounding the nation, we would cling prefcrenosto etttr.bing pmselves . to any other organization, .Yet we consider no form of organisation 'too sacred or no ' political policy too perfect, to be sacrificed to the great cahae of the Dnfon. While the Union is in` danger, all partiee must be insignifhant and unworthy of confidence or support, bat that organization which seeks to harmonize all men in the support and defence of the Union. This is now the condition of the leaders and the MS/311811 of the Republican organization. It is the position, too, of thousands of honest men, who have heretofore heen attached to the op• posing parties of Republicanism, but who will hereafter lend their aid to that Union prepared by the people, In which the masses of all parties are honestly rallying for the support of the . ad ministration of Abraham Lincoln-in- support, lug the war-4n vindicating and sustaining those who are fighting our , battles—and in effectually crushing treason whether it seeks to do its , work armed in the rebel ranks, or whether it struggles in the name of loyalty to embarrass and impede loyal men in the performance of their duty. Such is the purpose of , our politi cal Union. Those who oppose it, also oppose that national Union' from which - alone an Amer ican citizen can gain any real benefit. TEE WRITING ON THE WALL Two months ago there was a small panic in Richmond, maidoned by the discovery of some mysteiions writinge on the walls. The rebels regarded the phenomenon with horror, for the words l were personal. The Unloniste came out under cover of <the night, and scrawled unplea• Sant: plireseethat reflected upon Bails and his crew. The enemy pulled down the placer& and felt better. Bat, according to the Rich mond Eastniner of April 22d, the 'procese has hit been repeated, and the Jilbels seem to be in a great rage over.it. ,We are told by the Ex aminer that "on' Paiaell, iaad & - OomPtiriy's east wall" the fallemileg emphatic sentences have been written: , , •Theoge your bells Into cannon, and charge with Confederate Cett." PSonehern Lexicon covered wittt 'Pinks of elai4lry.'l7 . "The is on our side, intt, In conee4inence of Tressing engagements elsewhere 4 could not attend at Pea Ridge, Donerson;'&o., &o."

RECKONING WITHOUT TBKIR HOST About one year ago the New Orleans Bulk contained the following paragraat concerning the dangers to New Orleans from our fleets and army : "This tremendous force of annihilators will commence its march when every requisite is pr-pared and supplied. As this cannot be ac complished for several years to come, there is no necessity for us to make immediate prepa rations for the reception of Lincoln's big army. oo o Their ridiculous schemed for our subjugation show conclusively that they are thoroughly alarmed and panic-stricken. We of the South can successfully resist an invasion from a million of snob craven wretches." This may be called reckoning without Com modore Farragut. And we may further add, that after all this boasting, the city of New Orleans was held after its conquest by a small detachment of marines. As to the resistance of the South of "an invasion of a million of such craven wretches," it seems strange that the resistance Is in the shape of cowardly evacuations, psalm, flights and demoralization. The fact is, that the end of this boasting will be, the complete dependency of the rebel states on the power and the leniency of the federal government. Tam WABHIBOTON Bseuerm of this morning, says that some of the New York journals have had a sensation story that the Congressmen from' the slave states, upon consultation, bad agreed to withdraw from the Senate and House in a body because of the proposed legislation-in reference to emancipation and Lortfiscatlon. If the story were true, it would •only show that slavery is naturally rebellious—that it is in it self a monstrous rebel. But the story did gross injustice to the slave state members. Theta is not one word of truth In the story; as we have been assured by more than one of the persons concerned. It is surprising that any such statement should have been made without foundation, even to make a sensation in a New York morning journal, but the Southern mem bers assert that there has never bees an excuse for such a dispatch. If we are ever to, have a second edition of the rebellion, now is the pre cise time for it to occur, when our troops are ready for it, and the country is in the humor to crush it out. Tau ESCHAZIGE or Pau:4mm is strongly ad vocated by the Military Committee of the Sen ate. As matters now look, we have a notion that the government will soon have possession of every rebel in the south, except those who are shot in retreat, or fly the country to escape the gallows. Richmond will be• in our posses sion before"many days, and it is not likely that the traitors will carry theVnion prisoners with them. . /, ri -- ,„,,- .k -- , , f ..• --- - ';'(... .....-:.,•',!.'

The country in most instances was laid deso late, and but few of the bonsai along the road were occupied. On emerging from a corner of the woods we came in view of Williamsburg and the enemy's earthworks. At the same time ,no guns were visible on the enemy's *Wilk but a regiment of cavalry could be seen approaching, about a mile off, in line of battle. Captain Gibson's reserve battery was then ordered front to open on the enemy's approach lag cavalry, while a portion al the Sixth Uni ted States cavalry were deployed as skirmishers to the right-and left. The fire from tbe bat tery was very effective on the enemy's Coriiity. but they never changed their ,coarse.' About two hundred yards to the right of Gibson's tiattery, was an earthwork which had all the appeatence of being deserted, when all of a sud den our troops were ?fir;Ae4 upon :ay 'a deadly fire from artillery PCatted ftWad"the Works. At the same time the rebel oavalry continued suivancing, until they were'checked by a charge made by a portion of the First and Sixth car airy, which was performed in e , riatist admiratile manner. In more instances than one it was a tand to hand encounter.wiiht4 enemy's cav airy, but strange to rehire . , none of oar men were taken prisoners, while we captured about twenty-five of tie enemy, among whom la Cap tain Punk Lee, of the Third Florida infantry.

One of the gunboats which went up on Sun day morning had returned and reported that they found the river unobAructed, and that the gunboats had reached West Point, wilt re a force had been landed and destroyed a bridge on the road to Richmond. Several rebel trans ports were overtaken going np the river. Some were run ashore, those on board escaping, and were burned, others had been captured. The latest reports say that Gen. McClellan was with the advance of the army, and was supposed to be before Williamsburg, in which directions there bad been a brink cannonading all day. AiDong the prisoners, is the chief of engin eers en Gen. Johnston's staff, who states that the whole rebel army at Yorktown, amounted to 85,000 men. He gives a most deplorable account of the Condition of the army, and says they will be finable to make a stand anywhere this side of Richmond. The retreat commenced before daylight on Saturday morning, and he doubts not that the advance was twenty miles distant. The last gun was fired from Yorktown. On Sunday - moreing Gen. hi'Clellan signalled five gunboats lying below Yorktown, the fact of the evacuation, with in a tructiona to proceed up the river to West Point and remove all obstruc tions in their way. Quite alieet of steamers and vessels loaded with troops were discovered in the distance, and a pursuit was commenced, resulting in the capture of• some of them, whilst others were run ashore and fired by those on board, who escaped to the woods. It is said that by three o'clock in the after noon the gunboats had reached West Point, at the head of navigation, nearly thirty miles above Yorktown, frequently shelling the par ties of the enemy that were discovered flying along the shore, and flanking that portion of the retreating army that were moving towards West Point to take the Railroad to Richmond. Immediately in the wake of the gunboats followed along the line of the river steamers loaded with troops carrying Gen. Franklin's division with fifteen thousand to twenty thou , sand men. These troops reached Yorktown during the afternoon and were stoptAti there to await in telligence from the gunboats. It Is proposed to land them at Yorktown if the reports of the gunboats are favorable. THE VERY LATEST THE ENEMY MAKE A STAND AT WILLIAM SBIIIIG. TWO REBEL REDOUBT?. MEN.
