THE NATIONAL PLATFORM.
OSES OF THE WAR.
Congress, by a vote nearly unanimous, passed
the follawing resolution, which expresses the
-voice of the Nation and is the true standard of
Loyalty:
That the present deplorable civil war ban been
forced 11F0 3 the country by the disunionists of the
entithern States, now in arms against the Constitutional
Government, and in arms around the Capital i that in
this National emergency, Congress, banishing all feel
ing of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only
its duty to the whole country; that this war is not
waged on their port in any Spirit of oppression, or f r
any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrowing or int.rfering with the rights or established
institutions of those States,but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constilutioi t, and t. pre.qeree the
Union, witlk 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."

Chester County Democratic Convention.
We have on hand for publication the pro
ceedings of the Chester County Democratic
Convention. They will appear in to-morrow's
Usios.
New aemocratle Paper.
We place on the list of our exchanges to
day the name of a new Democratic paper—the
Lackawanna Register, published at Scranton,
by E. S. ➢I. Hill, Esq. The appearance of the
Register is highly creditable; its contents in
every way worthy of the reputation of the in
telligent gentleman who has assumed its edi
torial chair. Mr. Hill edits also the _Lumens
Legal Journal, and the new enterprise which
he has united with it, we are assured, will
meet with, as it merits, a hearty support from
the Demopracy of Lackawanna.
Berks Counts* alkd ',ls eonsL►_
it seems that enrolling officers are mobbed
in both Berks county and the city of Milwau
kie, Wisconsin ; but the former may learn
something from the latter in regard to the
manner of proceeding.. In Wisconsion the
women, in Berks the men, are the assailants.
Both modes would be "more honored in_ the
breach than the observance," but certainly. of
the two the Wisconsin plan is the preferable.
The Milwaukie correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes :
aAnother disgraceful scene occurred in our
city this afternoon, similar to that of a few
days since,. An enrolling officer, while en
gaged in his duties in one of the wards, was
attacked by a large number of women, armed
with clubs, stones and other missiles, who very
setionaly itijurecl He eneeeedell in. es
caping front the infuriated vixens by taking
refuge in a, grocery near by, and the mob dis
persed without committing further outrages."
Maryland Politics.
The nominating Republican convention of
the Tlfrl Maryland dlitrict, (Id wards of Bal
timore city,) as we have already published, at
their convention on the sth, chose Henry
Winter Davis as their candidate for Congress,
he receiving forty-five votes to two votes for
ex-mayor Swann. The delegates chosen in the
Bth, 11th, 12th and 20th wards, for the reasons
stated in the subjoined protest, presented by
the President of the convention before the
nomination was made, did•not attend:
"The undersigned, delegates to nominate a
candidate far Congress from the Third Con
gressional District of Maryland, eleote 1 from
the Bth, 11th, 12th and 20th wards of the city
of Baltimore, deem it our duty to protest
against the manner in which that convention
has been elected or constituted, and to declare
it as our belief that the majority has been
chosen by fraud, and therefore have determined
not to be present at its meeting, nor will we
participate in any of its proceedings.
I, Wm. Price, Wm. Thompson, Isa,ac, D, Ford,
Wesley Stevenson, J. M Smith, S. J. Soper,
A. B. Ferguson, Valentine Foreman, James H.
Downs, Daniel L. Thomas, E. C. Fowler, Jas.
A. Smith, John Culver, Henry J. rents, 3_ S.
Sumwalt."
'DANIEL WEBSTER ill one of his great speeches
makes use of the following 'language : "Writ
ten constitutions sanctify and confirm great
principles, but the latter are prior in existence
to the former. The habeas corpus act, the bill
of rights, the trial by jury, are surer bulwarks
of right and liberty than written constitutions.
The establishment of our free institutions is
the gradual work of time and experience, not,
the immediate result of any written instru
ment."
And yet all these principles, habeas corpus,
- bill of rights, trial by jury, which were prior
in existence to written constitutions, the grad
ual work of time and experience—all these
great and only solid foundations of freedom?
with the written constitution in which they are
now embodied, have been swept swayty the
rude hand of power, under the false plea of
military necessity, and the'American people,
despite all the bulwarks . they had -, erected
against the encroachments of ttte Exiicu!ive,
are as much serfs to-day as the peasants of
Russia. Who will stultify himself by denying
this, when the fact is patent to all that no man
in the loyal Btales dare utter sentiments in
disparagement of the Administration, (except
the men ef that party,) without subjecting
himself to military seizure, trial, and punish
ment?
The Gubernatorial Question,
The Pittsburg Post of the 6th instant has a
very excellent introduction (on the Subject of
a Democratic platform) to its avowal of prefer
ence for Gen. Gso. W. CASS as the next candi
date of the party for - Governor. The Post
thinks "thee can be but little difficulty in the
Convention about the platform." " Our plan,"
it says, "would have been, at the beginning.
that of Richelieu: First, employ all 'means to
Conciliate,' and that oiling , then 4 all means
to crush.' Instead of issuing bulls against
the comet,' calculated to unite the southern
people in rebellion, we - would have imitated
Gen. Jackson's appeal to the people of South
Carolina to desert their rebellious leaders.
We should have fostered, encouraged and pro
tected the Union men of the southern States,
instead of passing acts and issuing proclama
tions only calculated to drive them into the
rebel ranks."
We agree entirely with the Fost that the
"chief plank" of the platform ought to be,
(and we presume "will be,") the "emphatic ex
pression of a determination never, under any
circumstances, to submit to a separation of the
States of this Confederacy." This, and an
equally emphatic expression of opposition to
the general policy of the administration, as
developed by its nets and declarations, while
perfectly willing to sustain it in all constitu
tional measures for the suppression of the re
bellion, and the declaration of a desire for
peace at the earliest moment it can be honor
ably obtained on the basis of perpetual Union,
would, we think, be sufficient, and present a
platform upon which all opposed to the ad
ministration could rally. But we nubmit the
consideration of this very imphrtant question
to the wisdom of the Convention, which, we
trust, will be equal in all respects to the emer
gency.
On the question of candidacy the Poet, afrer
quoting a paragraph from one of our recent
articles on the subject, remarks:
“For our part we have but one candidate,
Gen. George W. Cass, the choice of our county,
as well as the favorite of the West. In men
tioning him as being our candidate, we desire
not to disparage others mentioned in the same
connection. We merely announce him as being
the Western candidate for Governor, and we
accordingly invite the PATVIOT AND UNION, and
every other Democratic paper in the State, to
immediately commence the discussion of his
claims and qualifications. Such discussion
will, we think, demonstrate that Gen. George
W. Cass is one of the two so modestly Hilted
at by our Harrisburg eontemporary.”
The Post must excuse us. We cannot be se
duced from the positively neutral position
which we have thus far maintained. While
personally entertaining a preference among
the candidates, reposing confidence in the in
tegrity and qualifications of some of the
gentlemen prominent among those early in the
field, and much distrusting others, we have
not, so far, thought it necessary to make our
columns subservient to our likes or dislikes, or
to designate by name the individuals of either
class; nor can we perceive that any good could
result from a change of policy now. While it
is perfectly right for the roa to espouse the
cause of its favorite, a citizen of Allegheny
&Aunty, it might ba considered presumptuous
in us, occupying a central position, to take
decided ground in favor of or against any of
the gentleman named.
Whether, therefore, the Post is correct Cr not
in the surmise which concludes the above par
agraph, quoted from its columns, must remain
as much a mystery as ever to all but ourselves.
We can truly say that we have no preference
strong enough to hold us against the good of
the Commonwealth and the interests of the
party; our only desire being to secure the
nomination of a sound , e honest and capable
man, the one, all things considered, in every.
respect best fated for the times and the posi
tion.
The selection of a proper candidate will de
volve upon the Convention. The trust commit
ted to them is one of no ordinary importance,
and they will be held to a strict accountability
for the manner in which they discharge it.
We hope th'e delegates will consider well the
responsibility which rests upon them, and pray
Heaven to send them a happy deliverance.
Vallandigham Going to Richmond
The Chattanooga Rebel of the Nth ultimo
says:
"Mr Vallandigham was still at Shelbyville
yesterday, stopping at a private house. He
will go to Virginia in a day or two. He is as yet
undecided as to the precise point, but will de
termine soon."
In a short editorial on the 27th the Rebel
says :
"If Mr. Vallandigham comes South of his
own accord, declares himself a southern man
and for the southern cause, and also desirous
of the perpetual separation of the South from
the North, then we are for making him a gen
eral of division to leed the first advance across
the Ohio. If he is not so in sentiment, what
in the name of liberty does he here in Dixie,
and of what use is he to us ?"
Yes, if he will—but he wont. It would be
hard to say what, "in the name of liberty,"
Vallandiaham is doing in Dixie; in the name
of tyranny and military mob-law he has been
exiled, and may the Lord protect him and see
him safely through ! May the prophetic lines
now familiar to the nation in all their fullness
and force prove true—may the debt this in
jured man owes fo his oppressors .one day kle
paid:
"For time at last seta all things even—
And, If we do but watch the hour,
There never yet was human power

the departure of the 9th army corps (General
Burnsides' old corps,) for Vicksburg. Gen.
Hartattif was in command of the post of Lex
ington. Regiments were arriving to take the

man. They had scoured fifty six miles of
country, from the Big Black to the Yazoo.—
Several bridges, cotton gins and grist mills,
which were used to grind corn, were destroyed,
together with a large quantity of cotton marked
C. S. A. The expedition reports that the coun
try towards Yazoo city is teeming with agri
cultural riches; cattle, sheep and hogs abound
and flourishing crops are seen on every side.
Hundreds of negroes stampeded at. the ap
proach of our troops, and followed them into
our lines. Gen. Johnson has not yet been heard
from definitely, and it is supposed that he can
not raise a force sufficient to attack Grant.
MURDER AND SUICIDE BY AN INSANE MAN,
HARTFORD, CONN., June B.—William Steele,
of East Hartford, killed his wife and infant
child this morning, by cutting their throats
With a razor. Two children who were in the
neat room made their escape. He afterwards

of the perpetrator, who has been an inmate of
the Retreat at different times for the last twenty
years.
CAPTURE OF BLOCKADE RUNEERS
WASHINGTON, June B.—The United States
steamer Sunflower, Acting Master Edward

and bound to Havana. The same vessel has
talso captured the schooner Mississippi, with
187 bales of cotton, which, with those previ
ously reported, make seven prizes captured
within a few days. If all are condemned,
their proceeds will occasion a comfortable sen
sation in the pockets of the captors. The
same vessel on the 14th ult. captured the
schooner Seabird, of Havana, without log
book or papers. The United States steamer
Kanawha, Lieut. Com. Wm. K. Mays, captured

and declared good prizes. Others have been
released by the court, and others still de
stroyed at India river and other places along

That treason and rebellion are crimes that,
while we emphatically disclaim and deny any
right as inhering in journalists to incite, advo
cate, abet, uphold or justify treason or re
bellion, we respectfully, but firmly, assert
the right of the press to criticise freely and
fearlessly the acts of those charged with
the administration of the government and
of their civil and military subordinates, and
that any limitation of this right, created by
the necessities of war, should be confined to
the localities where hostilities exist, or are
immediately threatened,

'LET the Administration have confidence in
the people,' and all will be well."—Albany
Journal.
"Sensible. A great deal of labor Ise been
wasted in urging the people to have confidence
in the Administration. There never was any
reason to doubt the generous' loyally of the
people, or their willingness to give the Ad
ministration their confidence. The trouble
has all been the other way. The Administra
tion have. never confided in the people. The
Journal's admonition is to the point and timely.
'Let the Administration have confidence in
te people, and all will be well.' "—Rochester
Union.
But the Administration must not only have
confidence in the people—it must seem to merit
their confidence by acts, not by mere cheap
words —by abstaining from impracticable
promises, by truthfulness and deeds worthy of
confidence.
• •
With an ever great disposition, originally
proven by the people, to confide in this Ad
ministration, it has promised naught, effected
naught but was calculated to shake that confi
dence and arouse the most formidable distrust
alike of its capacity, its policy and its pur
poses.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A PRINCE IN OUR NAVY.—One of the sons of
the Prince de Joiuville, who has just graduated
at our Naval Academy and who was on General
M'Clellan's staff during the battles on the Pe
