THE NATIONAL PLATFORM.
PURPOSES OF THE WAR.
Congress, by a vote nearly unanimous, passed
the following resolution, which uprose:l the
voice of the Nation and is the true standard of.
Loyalty:
"that the present deplorable civil war has been
forced upon the country by the disteioniste of the
!oaths= States, new ins/ma against the Constitutional
Government, and in arms aronnd the Capital; that in
this ;National emergency, Congress, banishing all feel
fig of Mre passion or resentment, will recollect only
its duty to the whole country; that this war is not
waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, or j r
any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with therights or established
institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the
Union, with all the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States unimpaired; and that as soon-as these ob
jects are accomplished the war ought to cease:7,

WHAT NEXT, PRAY ?—The Louisville .7ousa2
states that Mr. Enlow, an engineer on the :Big
Gray Eagle, was arrested by the provost guard
yesterday afternoon for using language deroga
tory to Dr. Fry, hospital surgeon at New Al
bany.
Mr. Lincoln once, only four years age, wrote
to a committee of Boston Republicans :
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve
it not for themselves, and under a just God can
not long retain it." -
How much longer, then, can he, denying, as
he does, "freedom to others" "under a just
God" expect to "retain it" himself ?
Seventeenth Senatorial District.
The Democrats of the Seventeenth Senato
rial District, composed of the counties of Brad
ford, Samuel/anus, Wyoming and Sullivan,
have elected W. W. Kingsbury, Bev., Sena
torial Delegate to the 17th of Jane State Con-
vention.
RAYMOND, of the New York Times, denies
that he ever said the Abolition party was
played out. We give him the benefit of the
denial, but he is a great fool for making it.—
The assertion is true, whoever made it, and
!had he kept quiet he would soon have found
-himself enjoying the reputation of a prophet.
Position of the Administration.
A few days ago fir. Postmaster General
Blair made a speech at Cleveland, Ohio, to an
414131iionlIf tiudiea ta - pairtrayt 4ir
-istration, according to the Cleveland Leader,
san Abolittion paper, in the following lan
guage:
"The President sought to avert this contest,
but the South insisted upon it, anti he was
forced to proclaim freedom to the slaves, who
were, in every sense, the enemy's sinews of
war. The President came reluctantly, to this
point because it was a fearful responsibility to
assume, bat, once deliberately taken, he placed
the government in a position from which there
uno escape. The nation must now redeem the
pledge thus made to the slaves, by the utmost
exhibition of its power. That proclamation was
also a pledge to foreign nations. The measure
having been adopted by the President is beyond
revocation by the civil or military authority of
the nation."
All we have to my in relation to these re
marks of Mr. Blair is, that if they correctly
define the position of the administration the
day of peace is far distant, the restoration of
the Union an impossibility. There is nothing
in the future but war, waste, misery, desola
tion and final ruin. It makes the downfall of
the republic inevitable.
The 170 i of June Convention.
We need offer no excuse to men of sense, who
appreciate the condition of the country and
the requirements of the hour, for referring
occasionally to the gubernatorial nomination,
acid expreeelag a bops that QU that subject all
may be well with us.
We are passing through perilous times. Can
we rise, as a people, to the height necessary
to carry us through them ? Can• we compre
hend the immense magnitude of the issues in
volved .? Can we divest ourselves of mere per
sonal partialities and petty local interests ?
Can we be, in heart and soul, patriots for the
time, and sacrifice every other consideration
to the *lemma& of that patriotism?
How will our State Convention, so soon to
meet, look at the matter—as wise, unselfish
statesmen, regarding only the true interests of
the State and party, or as petty politicians,
incapable of rising above the interests of
cliques and factions ?
We hope to see its deliberations Character
ited by lofty and holy considerations.
We hope to see it determine, from first to
last, that no man unfitted for the times, no
candidate unworthy of the support of the peo
ple, in any respect, shall receive its nomina
tion..
If this hope shall prove well founded—if it
shall give ns a man of brains, a man of expe
rience, a statesman, and at the same time a
man of irrepproachable moral character, one
who is above the arts of the petty demagogue,
an d scor ns ail the tricks of the mere politician,
we think we can say it will be well with us—
the State will l} rescued from Abolition rule,
the Democratic party will be placed perma
nently in power, and we may do much towards
redeeming our country from the grasp of those
who are seeking its overthrow.
If, unfortunately, a different course should
be pursued, and a leader unworthy to corr.) ,
our standard should be selected, it is painful
to think of the evil which.might
We implore the delegates to think seriously
Wore they come to Harrisburg.
An Opportunity for a Southern Blow.
That remarkably veracious journal, the
Philadelphia Bulletin, under the above caption,
treats its readers to sundry • remarks founded
on extracts from two southern papers. It
charges that " rebel sympathizing journals
and orators in the North have eyes and ears
only for ivioiaNius .of l •peraonal liberty' and
despotic Rai'. colkunittiel b the Federal ad-'
ministration!". b, by: " rebel sympathizing
journals and orators," the Bulletin means
Democratic "journals and orators," we dispose
of the assertion by pronouncing it untrue.
But, in fact, we know of no such journals and
orators in therNorth, unless we can call those
50 that 'we find arrayed in support of the ad
"ministration. That they have aided the rebel
lion immensely we think indisputable ; but
whether from sympathy with its cause, or be
cause their own traok ran parallel so far as a
disruption of the 17nion is considered, we shall
not undertake to determine. That Democratic
journals and orators in the North are not eter
nally hammering away at the Jeff, Davis ad
ministration, is because they have enough to
do to watch their own administration at home,
which has even preceded the rebel rulers in
the march to despotism. While seeing clearly
enough what the Jeff. Davis administration are
driving at, we are not blind to the tendency of
Mr. Lincoln's administration, with which we
have more intimate relations. We believe them
both to be aiming at despotism, and it is our
• present care to prevent the latter from march
ing toward the goal at a more accelerated.pace
than the former—in fact we desire to arrest
their progress in that direction altogether.
That once accomplished, we shall be in a con
dition to interfere to 801:116 purpose with Mr.
Davis's arrangements, and arrest his footsteps
before he:reaches the throne to which he pro
bably aspires, even if it should be at the ex
pense of his head and the heads of many
others who aim at kingly dignity.
This by way of preface. Now, as to the
article from the Richmond Enquirer, squinting
toward an "imperial despotism, like that of
France," we believe we republished it shortly
after its appearance—and we are glad to see
that a southern journal of such solid reputation
as the Raleigh Standard condemns the atro
cious aspiration.
According to the Bulletin, the Standard,
which is said to be the organ of Gov. Vance,
makes the following comments on the despotic
tendency of the• Davie administration, or rather
of the class in the South which that adminis
tration represents
" We know that military despotism is making
rapid strides in these States. We know that no
people ever lost their liberties at once, but step
by step, as some deadly disease steals upon the
system and gradually but surely saps the
fountains of life. We know that tyrants and
their minions always prepare the popular
mind in advance for their usurpations, and that
these usurpations are always based upon the
plea of the 'general good,' or 'military neces
sity.' The argument now is, we hate Lincoln
so bitterly that, in order to resist him success
fully we must make slaves of ourselves. The
answer of our people is : We will be slaves
neither to Lincoln, nor Davis, nor France, nor
England.' North Carolina is a State, not a
Province. She has 80,000 as brave troops as
ever trod the earth. When she calls them they
will come. If the worst should happen she
will be able to take care of herself as an inde
pendent power. She will not submit, in any
event, to a law of Congress passed in deliber
ate violation of the Constitution. She will not
submit to Mr. Davis being invested with dicta
by from theconfederation, and
she will fight her way out against all corners,
with a courage and au ardor which will eclipse
even any former achievements of her sous du
ring the existing war. For one, we are deter
mined not to exchange one despotism for
another."
Such remarks as these, in a journal of the
acknowledged ability and influence of the
Standard, are truly encouraging. If a few Re
publican journals in the North, of equal stand
ing, would pursue the same honeet and manly
course toward the administration of Mr. Lin
coln and the class which that administration
represents—and God knows there are quite as
good grounds for it=the dream of despotism
in both sections would soon be dispelled, and
a union of the truly loyal, North and South,
would quickly work out the problem, now so
apparently difficult, of the nation's salvation.
What does the Bulletin think of it ?
Omens and Analogies.
Cassandra, just before the fall of Troy, made
herself generally disagreeable by prophesying
ruin, which nobody believed would come.
1 1 .1iss Dickinson is a sort of converse of the
amiable prophetess who jilted Apollo. She
prophesies the pleasantest things imaginable
for our afflicted country and is believed of her
disciples—being, it is said, the most bewitch
ing little optimist in the worlds She prophet
flies impossible victory, and is believed. She
squelches incredulous gentlemen, and is ap
plauded by enthusiastic preachers. The Tro
jans were undone by being prone of Appollo
not to credit Cassandra; if the fable holds
good in the converse we may sing fait Mum
in epic earnest, for believing Miss Dickinson.
Whom the gods Wish to destroy they first make
mad. Whether the sign of madness be refusal
to believe the utterances of lips divinely in
spired or'a determination to credit the wildest
follies which come from creatures the most
silly and ignorant, the result is the same.
There is a wide difference between the high
Trojan blindness which disdained Cassandra
and the frantic folly which froths at the feet
of Miss Dickinson,
There are other omens, besides that which
the Pagan fable furnishes, from Holy Writ.
Mr. Lincoln's resemblance to King Saul is
most complete. Taller than those he came to
rule—chosen to guide the Commonwealth when
engaged in pursuits as rustic as these Of the
son of Kish—he has now, it is rumored, ex
hibited his antitype's predilections for witch
craft. Of course he does `not neglect the
modern improvements in magic—his Witch of
Ender 'is said to be a medium. The delirium
of war has destroyed the equilibrium of his
mind. The omen is alarming. History tells
us how all the timid questioners of oracles
were destined 'to defeat. Glendower, who
would " call spirits from the vasty deep,"
could not call victory thence. It is the can•
qnering and dominant mind which enforces
- favoring oracles; it was Alexander, the invin
cible, to whom the priestess, when he com
pelled her utterance, gave the voluntary re
sponse—" Then art irresistible, 0, son 1"
Cassandra might have saved Troy but for the
sullen and resentful meanness of Apollo. It
may be some Divinity, bent on our destruction,
has proned us to listen to a modern Pythoness
as to the song of a Syren, that charms
while it destroys.
NEWS OF THE DAY.
BY TELEGRA.PII.
NEWS PROM VICKSBURG
CHICAGO, May 26.—Private dispatches were
received in this city to-day front an officer. in
an Illinois regiment, dated near Vtokeburg •on
the 24th, from which the inference may be
drawn that the city was not captured up to
that time. The dispatches say nothing as to
what was done on Saturday. The working of
the wires between Memphis and Cairo to-night
is interrupted by a storm.
CINCINNATI, May 27.—The latest advices
received here from Vicksburg through Union
sources are to Friday last, May 22.
At that time a vigorous bombardment of the
town by land and water was going on.
A special dispatch received here from Mur.
freesboro' says that rebel prisoners report that
on Sunday last a courier dashed up with a dis
patch from Col. Breckinridge to Gen. Wheeler,
at M'Minnville, acknowledging that Vicksburg
had fallen, that Pemberton had escaped with
almost all his army, but he had lost his artil
lery.

WASHINGTON, May 27.—A telegram from
Newport News dated to-day has been feeeiVed
by the Navy Department. It says the steamer
Georgia, just arrived from City Point, brings
no released prisoners, and neither papers nor
news. This may be considered a good sign,
showing the rebels have no good news to com
,municate.
HELENA 'NOT TARIM ET PRICE
CINCINNATI, May 27.—The report received
through rebel sources of the capture of Helena,
Ark., by the rebel Gen. Price, is false. The

THE WAIL IN TENNES6EE•
MICIRFREESBORO' ; May 26th.—Col. Wilder,
with his mounted infantry, returned this p. m.
from a trip in the direction of M'Minnvile,
whither he had gone in 'search of the rebel
cavalry under Col. Breckinridge. The enemy's
pickets were encountered a short distance be
yond Woodbury. The firing attracted the reb
els in the vicinity, who collected in considera
ble force to annoy and impede our advance.—
A running skirmish was kept up for several
miles.
Twelve miles this aide of APMinnville our
forces come on a. camp of Breckenridge's for
ces, • who hastily decamped. Pressing . them
closely, however, Wilder succeeded in captu
ring nine prisoners, twenty-five serviceable
horses, and thirty head of beef cattle. Among
the prisoners are two surgeons : th i yertArk
which they had collected at Liberty and were
taking to Shelbyville. Having secured the
prisoners and burned the tents and baggage
left by the cavalry, our forces pushed rapidly
forward, skirmishing with and driving the
enemy until within seven miles of M'Minn
vine, when the punnet was abandoned and our
forces returned to Murfreesboro', scouting the
country on both flanks and capturing a number
of soldiers who were at home on furlough.
Among the papers captured was a General
Order issued by Bragg on the 17th inst., di
recting that the sick and disabled Confederate
soldiers and wagons and baggage calculated to
retard the march be removed to the rear.
The prisoners also say that all the cavalry
under Wheeler and those under Morgan, are
ordered to report at Columbia within five days;
that forces at Liberty under Harrison, com
prising five regiments, were preparing to.
move, and that Morgan is falling back to
Sparta to join Gen. Wharton's forces, which
are also preparing to move. The opinion is
that Bragg will evacuate.
The railroad between Tullahoma and Willnu
vile is repaired, with the exception of a bridge,
and trains are again arriving on the road.
A COUNCIL. OF WAR.
NEW Yonx, May 27.—A special dispatch to
the Evening Poet says a council of war was held
yesterday at the White House. It was the
result of the late visit of Senators Wade and
Chandler to the Army of the Potomac, and had
reference to the offensive movements which
the rebels in Virginia have been for some time
threatening.
, Gen. Hooker is said to express the opinion
that the rebels are bringing up all their forces
from Charleston and probably North Carolina,
for the purpose of making an aggressive move
ment.
In view, however, of the publicity which
has been given to these threats by the rebels
themselves, it seems more likely that their de
sign is to provide for the defences of Rich
mond, and by their usual bluster, deter Hooker
from making another immediate advance.

WASHINGTON, May 26.—Acting Rear Admi
ral Porter, in a dispatch from Yazoo river dated
the 16th inst., says :
A• few days since the Mound City, Lieut.
Commanding Byron Wilson, came up as far as
Warrenton to reconnoitre, and see what guns
there were likely to annoy our transports.—
The rebels have been engaged for some months
in building a strong (=emoted water battery,
intending to mount eight 10-inch guns on it.
This work was built with cotton bales covered
with logs, the logs covered with railroad iron,
and the whole covered with earth. On ap
proaching the works Lieutenant Wilson sent a
party on shore to reconnoitre. On climbing
up the casematea to look in, the party discov
ered that a company of artillerists had taken
refuge there, supposing themselves perfectly
secure. Our men fired their revolvers into the
crowd, and warned the vessel that the rebels
were about.
Lieutenant Wilson then commenced shelling
the fort, and in a short time it was all in a
blaze. After burning thoroughly for some time
the whole work was destroyed. Thus ended in
the space of an hour, a fort which it had taken
the rebels five months to build, working mostly
day and night. I proceeded to Warrenton this
morning, to be certain that the work was thor

WASHINGTON, May 26.—Up to 10 o'clock to

than that communicated to the public to-day
had been received by the President. It is not
believed that Grant himself has recently sent

his movements.
It is understood that a dispatch received to

diecorered in the rear of Vicksburg, which it would
Ise necessary to take by atom.
The Republican of this afternoon announces
that General Booker states that rebel pickets
yesterday hallooed to our pickets that General
Grant had fully taken Vicksburg !
Monne, May 23.—A special dispatch to the
Advertiser and Register, dated to-day, says
The latest from Vicksburg is to Thursday
night. Our loss is slight. The injury to the
batteries trifling. The garrison is well sup
plied, and confident of holding the place:
Firing was heard at intervals last night and

With regard to the Enrollment act, a Wash

PARTICULAR NOTICE.
There are many preparations sold under the name of
Bitters, put up in quart bottles, compounded of the cheap
est whisky or common rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents
per gallon, the taste disguised by Anise or Coriander Seed.
This class of Bitters has mantled, and will continue to
cause, as long as they can be sold, hundreds to die the
death of the drunkard. By their we the system is kept
continually under the influence of Acoho tic Stimulants of
the worst kind, the desire for Liquor is created and kept
up, and the result is all the horrors attendant upon a
drunkard's life and death.
For those who desire and will hare a L'quor -Bitters, we
publish the following receipt : Get One Bottle Hooliandis
Gelman Ratters and mix with Three Quarts of geed
Brandy or lifiEivky, and the result wilt be a preparation
that will far excel in medicinal virtues and true excelence
any of the numerous lequor Bitters in the market, and
will cps; ?Mee. WS. You will have all the virtues of
Hooilanct's Bitters in connection with a geed article of
Liquor. at a much less price than these inferior prepara
tions will cost you.

From Rev. J Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of Encyclo-
pedia of Religious RnoWledge.
Although not disposea to favor or recommend rat
cut Ilfedidnea In general, through diatrust of theiringre•
dients and effects, I yet know of no sufficient reasons
why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple preparation,
in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit
of others,
I do this more readily.in regard to "Hootland'SGermass
Bitters, ,, prepared by Dr. O. M. Jackson, of this city,
because I was prejudiced against them for years under
the impression that they were Chiefly an alcohol ic mix
ture. lam indebted to ray friend, Robert 'Shoemaker,
Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper tests,.
and for encouragement to try them when suffering from
great and long continued debility. The use of three
lbottleo of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present
year, was followed by evident relief and restoration to a
degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had net felt
for six, months before, and had almost despaired of re
gaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for
renting me to the use of them.
