OUR PLATFORM nrs UNION—THE CONK TruilON—ANlf, THE ENFOROMMXNT OF THE LAW. HARRISBII,RG, PA Monday Iforning, Jane• 80, 1802. Tits Evionten EXPRESS, Lancaster, exposes one of the mean tricks on the part of the Patriot Which is in the habit of printing e&tracts, pur-i porting to have been copied from its excitangeti in various parts of the country, deploring the, Influx' of negroes in such lodalitits, end setting forth that the freed slaves thus penetrating the free states, north, east and west, are daily coining in competition with white iiibor. The Patriot recently credited one , of these extracts to. the. Lancaster Patriot, hut no such a newspaper' is published in that city, and the only other lo cality named " Lancaster" is in Ohio, where, the Express declares, there is no journal with the title of Patriot published. • These are the shifts becoming the conductors of the Patriot and Union. They must lie or fail in their most insignificant purpose; and nothing so delights alit entire faction to which the Patriot belongs, as to belie all prindfprk'Parties or people op poled to negro slaveit. , „MI people, ctfi Barris buteitnhe'rtitand fact; and lime neither the veracity or the valor of those who control that sheet-ever exceed their par value:: They started a story in relation to negroes being em ployed to cut the grass`on the capitol grounds, and, when the fact was elicited that those ne gro.' had been employed by , a Democrat, the Patriot never bad the manliness to retract the first assertion and state the plain truth. —We leave this subject, with the people here, with the reflection that joUrnalists who will re sort t to the , meanness of concocting falsehood, and crediting them to mythical newspapers, for the purpose of deceiving the public, are among the most contemptible of all liars, because too cowardly to hither their own lies. Tim VIGOR AND EIYZOTIVSNINS OH TEN ARK; we are now led to expect, will be practically increased, so that victory may follow fighting in a manner to keep up the spirits of the brave boys now under arms, and end the war before the warm weather of the south has been able to bread its usual series of diseases so fatal to mOrthern men. We are assured that the visit of President Lincoln to West Point, and his hiterview with Gen. Scott, was part of the pro gramme adopted to ensure speedy results from , the. past and present operations of the armies of the &public. The consolidation of the armies ifi the Shenandoah valley took place immedi ately after the return of the Ptesident from Wet Point; now we are informed that Gen. Reed, has been summoned to Washington, and that important changes in other commands will soon follow, all having in view an immediate closing of the campaign, by the prompt rednc tion of the rebel capital and overthrow of the rebel army. These movements and consolida tion of armies are no doubt the result of the deliberation and conviction of the President. They prove that President Lincoln has Ileter mined to bring the crisis to an end, by such . a prosecution of the war as will put it out: cif the pcirtir of the rebel army to entrench itself in any, other locatity after it has been defeated and routed at Richmond.

On the 16th the 'citizens' of Lew isburg, Greenbrier county, Va., sent to Meadow Ma; where several:regiments are stationed, asking for surgical aid for the sick in that aPiPhYsickuss being there.

The• national, party retreated, and succeeded in escaping safely, but it was a nay rowubance for them. The apPlication for aid was only a ruse to docoy the natkinaf party into capture or death. - Ititronly another illustra tion of the cowardly style in which the bush :Whacking xebela do their dghting.
