hav been . forced upon the country by the
disunio' nista of the Southern States, now
in arms against the Constitutional Govern
meat, and in arms around the Capital; that
in this National emergency, Congrees, llan
412ing all feeling of mere passion -or resent
ment, will recollectonly its duty to the whole
eountry; that this war is not waged Jn
their part in any spirit of oppresswn, or
far any purpose of conquest or relingation
or of overthrowing or interfering
with rights or established is:kite:bons of
those States, but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of tie Constitution, and to
preserve the Union, with all the dignity,
-equality, and rights of the several States
unimpaired; and that as soon as these
objects are accomplished the war ought to
cease."'
The Age.
We have reedved the first number of the
Ape, Philadelphia, by A. 4. GLossmunnant &
Co. It fulfills its promise of usefulness, and
will be anlacceptable adjunct in the Democratic
isake.
The Adjonnumeat of the Legislature.
We understand an effort is being made to
!wing about an adjournment of the Legislature
until May. For this action we have heard no
good reasons urged ; and we are utterly -at a
loss to conceive any sufficient fora measure se
extraordinary and seemingly uncalled for. The
suspicion of motives entirely personal has
been imputed to certain movers of the tempo
.rary adjournment. There may be private
.reasons—come political chicanery or other
which is at the bottom of the project—but what
public ends can be served by" an extra session
?it seems impossible to tell. •
The Legislature has had time enough—and
the people should know it—to transact all the
'necessary business of the session ; it has de
layed and put off , matters of vital public and
ouitionakeoncern ; it is now, at the instance of
certain aspirants for office—perhaps of certain
individuals having "axes to grind"—upon an
insufficient pretext, asked to adjourn and to re
assemble at a most inauspicious time for pub
lic business. In the midst of national trials,
with a future impending fall of anxiety and
.uncertainty, itia.thne that i personal aims, the
oblivious ambition of ispirtints to office and
?the - jobbing propensities of some of our law
,givers,, should be ter& to bend to the public wed.
Resolutions of the Legislature.
The Conservative party of the North will
shortly be obliged to come to a common under
- standing in reference to our national policy..
If it does not the Cons - ervative party is at sea,
and the country is at sea* with it. It is high
time, so far as Pennsylvania is concerned, that
.such an expression of her sentiments should
.be had as will indicate the true sense of her
jieople upon our national policy and troubles.
Whether she shall speak drought majority of
her representatives, with certain other States
And sections of the country, in a demand for
peace or whether, in compromise of extreme
(pinions, she simply enters her solemn protest
Against the arbitrary acts of the administration
and thepotiey of the war, are matters which are
left to the judgment and careful deliberation
.of the Conservative members . _ of the present
legWature, accountable to • their constituents
-and to the party for the manner in which their
4nty shall bC discharged.
We cannot borrow the doctrines exclusively
other States in any expression of our own;
:what Pennsylvania wants is such a set of reso
lutions as will satisfy her own people and
make the Conservative party in the State
strong And eifiective. To avoid carefully any
thing which may furnish any pretext for disaf
fection, not to commit us to any policy which we
are not preiared to Carry out, are 'considera
tions first to be - remembered in framing the
resolutions for adoption. Vital, present, practi
aable issues are what the people want and what
die party requires, and at this juncture, must
have.;
..Pennsylvania is slow at times to move ;
her people are careful and law-abiding;
but when they move it is with weight. The
delay in making out the proper and ens
toinary resolutions, to be put on record and go
before the people for the' platform and the de
elaration of the Conservative party of the
Mate; has already been too long. some
citmoron bond of union and united action

ferutally made, the better for the welfare of

Uncoil Leagues,
The very fact that all of a sudden Republi
can journals maifest such enthusiasm for these
organizations inspires.' nte with distrust of
them. They'haft Ire are vastly "
mistaken—their -origin in the result of late
political elections.' We, for one, shall never
admit that becaiso the Democracy is re-assert
ing its ancient power, there is j ust nowany,
particular necessity for new organizations to
sulltain this 'Union. There are hundreds of
honest nien 'and patriots, no doubt, who con
nect themselves with these- societies. They
would be honest men and patriots . outside of
them. There is no'Carthly necessity for such
"Leagues." They can in no way add, vigor' to
the Government. They have no. control over
the public sword or purse. The President and
his Secretary are clothed with the JIM and
limitless management of the Satire phYsical
and financial , means of the country. These
Leagues may turn out a fresh swarm of wordy
orators to deluge the countly with verbal pa
triotism„ taking good care the while to keep
out of all danger themselves, but we have yet to
learn what else s they will effect. True, a mis
erable partisan sheet of this city, 'which has
been preaching mob law, and connecting the
Democracy of this city with murderers and
thieves, has suggested that these Leagues would
be usefal in disseminating such disgraceful
journals as itself, but we don't see yet the, dood
the Union cause would derive from that, nor
indeed, for that matter, the negro cause either.
This movement is a piece of mock patriotism,
gotten up by designing men for political pur
poses. The majority who go, into it from the
very best metives will some day discover that
they have been entrapped. Let , us say to the
Democracy, you have'no use for such stisp'i:.
cious organisations—your priuclples are al
ready just, patriotic and national—yon are
ready toodemonstrate through your party, and
in your personal relations, your devotion to
the country and its laws, but you are not die- 1
posed to fall int o bad company beCause they
wear good clothes—you are not going into ant
organization which sail men as :Horace Gree
ley commend, no matter how alluring the de 7
vices, it holds out, or how beautiful the banner
it marches under—you are not of those whom
Pitt in his reply to Welpole described as "ig
norant in spite of experience"—you hive
learned ,enough to be profoundly convinced
that no organization can subserve the cause
of this Union into which Abolitionists int rude
themselves, and of which they become the
leading managers.
If the people are anxious to go into a Union
League under the idea that they can aid the
nation in this critical period, let them go into
the Democracy, and they will breathe the truest
spirit of love for .the nation and its 'afro. We
have heard it said that "a man who is a real
true Mason needs no other religion"—so we say
that a man who is a genuine Democrat needs

to his country. He has it in his heart.. He
has been educated to it. The habits of his life
confirm it, and the traditions and teachings of
his party carve it into his nature in characters
more durable than brass or marble.
The Democracy is the "Union League" of
this people.
,P. B. The campaign for the Presidency in 1864
has been opened by the Union tnen. They do not
wait for the opposition to assume the initia
tive. They take is themselves.--Forney on

General News.
We have some important intelligence from
the Yazoo expedition. It comes by.the way of
St. Louis and Cairo, and is to the effect that
the. Hartford passed the batteries at Port Had=
son on the 20th, and was below Warrenton,
but that the other vessels were repulsed, and
one was seen in thumb, supposed to be the
Mississippi.
A 'dispatch received at Cairo on Wednesday,
dated Black, Hawk, March 19th, states that
Admiral Porter had got through Steel's and
the Black Bayou with five iron-clads and the
Price; into Deer creek, and was making all
haste for the Yazoo river. He is doubtless
there before this time. General Sherman and
his troops were follqwing him up. With the
reduction of Yazoo City and Port Pemberton,
the capture of Vicksburg may be regarded as
certain. It was rumored that Haines' Bluff
was evacuated, and that the Eighth Missouri
had gone up to garrison the place. .
In the Senate of New Jersey, on Tuesday
night, resolutions were passed denying the
truth of the representations, made for partisan
purposes,. that'New Jersey intended to resist,
by force, the execution of certain acts of Con
gress. The last resolution declares, that the
people of that State are law-abiding and ar
dently devoted to a union of all the States ;-
and while they may condemn and protest
against certain laws as unconstitutional and
unjust.. yet until repealed or declared to be
unconstitutional, they will regard them as
laws, and will confidently look to the courts
and the ballot-box for redress. After an ani
mated discussion they were passed by a party'
vote,. the Republicans opposing them. Yes
terday morning the resolutions passed the
House by a large majority.
A dispatch dated. Louisville, Kentucky, Mar.
24, says : " The rebels, reported from three
thousand to ten thousand strong, with a much
larger force following them, have taken pos
session of Danville. They crossed the Cum
berland river, via Mill Spring to Somerset.—
There are no rebels at Glasgow or Alut.forth
ville, or in that section of the State."
A. communication was received at Washing.
ton on Wednesday from the command 'at
Harper's Ferry, announcing that the rebel
General Stuart, with a considerable force of
cavalry and artillery, was within the Federal
lines, between Leesburg and Nolan's Ferry,
moving in the direction of the latter. There
had' not been any eonfirmation 'of this ruttier, ;
but the strongest evidence that it is without
foundation. As a matter of precaution, how

It Is also noticed as significant that the Moni

It is rumored that,Getteral Itoseuirans has

of Gen. Longetreet in Kentucky. The rebels
at Chattanooga are of the opinion that the for

Coismander-irt-Chief of the rebel armiitt the
'Southwest, has permanently boated his head
quarters at Tullahoma, _ Alabama.
The news frem Gen. Grant's army about
Vicksburg is important. It is reported that
our forces have got into the rear of the bat
teries at ilaines's Bluff, and that we have suc
cessfully flanked the rebel position at Vicks
burg. If this be true, and , there is little doubt
of it, the latter stronghold will probably be
evacuated. The Mississippi river will be
opened to legitimate navigation in a abort time
now, unless some extraordinary disaster should
occur to the armies of Gene. Banks and Grant.
e , In the "United States Circuit Court at Tren

Her neighbor, with more intelligence and
more piety, , did not seem to be . greatly dis

that be will no more destroy the inhaditante
