ThE NATIONA.L PLATFORM.
PURPOSES OF THE WAR.
Congress, by a vote nearly unanimous, passed
the following resolution, which expresses the
voice of the Nation and is the true standard of
Loyalty:
"That the present deplorable civil war has been
forced WWI the country by the disnnioniets of the
Ponthern States, now in arms against the Constitutional
Government, and in arms around the Capital; 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 for
any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrourbig or interfering with the rights or established
institutions of those States t out 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
j acts are accomplished the war ought to cease."
The Draft not Suspended_
It is announced in New York papers, on
authority from Washington that the draft is
not suspended by any action of the President,
but simply in. onsequence of the existence of
the riots.. When they entirely cease, it will
be resumed.
Lee's Escape
The New York Tribune blames Gen. HaHeck
for Lee's escape. -Why saddle the blame upon
a subordinate? President Lincoln is Com
mander-in-Chief—why not inculpate him, his
Cabinet and his outside advisers and directors,
Sumner and Meade and Chandler, and the rest
of the radical Abolition crew who are driving
the country headlong to destruction. No
doubt Lee escaped because they wanted him to
escape. They have no disposition to end the
war until all their infamous purposes are ac
complished, and they never had. They have
not stolen enough, and the negro is not yet
free. For these purposes the war is to be pro
longed indefinitely. They want 600,000 more
men now, td recruit their shattered army,
nselessly fritto_rod away—not to jlghf for the
Constitution and a restoration of the Union—but
to subserve the ends of a pack of swindling
speculators and mountebank statesmen, who
have been bartering blood for money and an
impracticable idea. Their intention is to re
tain by form the power they obtained by
fraud, and for this purpose, and no other, the
war is now waged, the Constitution and laws
violated, and arbitrary measures, which no
European monarch would attempt to exercise,
resorted to.
Secretary Stanton's Dispatch.
In his dispatch to Mayor Opdyke, dated
Washington, July 14, Secretary Stanton says :
" The retreat of Lee now becomes a route,
with his army broken, and a much heavier loss
of killed and wounded than was supposed."
We hope this may prove to be true ; but, un
fortunately the Secretary is not devoted to the
truth. After the retreat of Hooker from Chan
coliorsville across the itillipectiebeeek, thei-A
lio were gratified with a dispatch from the
head of the War Office, assuring them that
Hooker had not sustained a defeat, that his
army were in good condition, in fine spirits,
and would be ready to resume offensive opera
tions in a few days. That dispatch was false;
so we fear is the one to Opdyke. We do not
believe that Lee's retreat has "become a
route." We have the assurance of one who
was a prisoner in that army for several days
before it crossed the Potomac; who Jaw the
greater portion of it cross, and he tells a
different tale. He represents it to be yet a
powerful army—powerful'in numbers, in disci
pline, and in spirit, not in the least demoral
ized, and ready at all times for a fight. With
Lee at its head it is yet a dangerous army, as
the Secretary way yet learn before be awakes
from his foolish - dream that the retreat is "a
route." We should not be in the least sur
prised to hear before many days that that
routed and ragged rebel army had struck a
blow, or were on their way, far ahead of their
pursuers, to strike one in a quarter least sus
pected, and now considered-assure by the wise
men at Washington—the . President, the Secre
tary, and General-in-Chief.
Evidence of the Falsehood.
In their weakness and frenzy the Abolition
press charge the New York riot upon the De
mocracy . The charge is silly as it is =dig
.
neat and false. -It bears its own refutation
upon its face. Would men Of wealth and pro
perty, as the leading Democrats of New York
are, incite a riot for any purpose in a city
numbering NW* its population thousands of
cut-throats, incendiaries and thieves The
idea is preposterous. But there is another
proof, more conclusive still, of the falsity of
the allegation. The riot was spontaneous,
without organization, without system—which
would not have been the case had the Demo
cracy incubated it; for, even our enemies will
give us the credit of doing everything we tux
tertake systematically and well. No, no,
Messrs. Abolitionists, this riot was the child
of your "higher law," the offspring of the
same frenzy that begat Abolitionism, and was
conducted on the same violent and disorderly
principles. These rioters, in their Violation
of law, only followed the example set them by
Abolitionists and Republicans in the Christi
ana atd Carlisle and lloston slave riots. They
followed a bad example, it is true, and should
be punished ; but they are, in_ no sense more
10 histne or worse , than wore , the men who
figured in those outrageons-occurrences—nor,
so far as the mere violation of !hw is concerned,
are they a whit more culpable `thax tke Presi
dent of the United States hiXtielf, who has not
only, in violation of his soleistroatiOnfringed
the laws of Congress, but has trpapled upon

•
s'4''•.
damental law of the land. They are in fact
not so bad as he—for be swore to execute the
laws, an d to p r eserve, protect and defend the
Constitution, which they did, not. While,
therefore, these wicked and misgill!led men
only violated the laws, the President violated
his oath and tii - linta at the same time ",ire
have simply ta say' that the el legatam against
t
the Democracrthat they inatigated, aidedi or
abetted ilia' Yew York or any other riota, - Or
that those riots arose in any other way than
nontancotialy i in opposition to an unjust, op:
pressive and unconstitutibnal Abolition law, is
false, and its authors know it.
Arrest of an Editor.
We heard some days since that Mr. Stehle,
editor of the dettyeburg Compiler, had been
arrested by the military authorities, felonious
ly abducted from the State, and imprisoned in
Fort M'Henry—but, as we knew nothing of the
particulars, refrained from noticing the out
rage.
The Compiler came to hand yesterday, but
even that paper, whose editor, the victim of
malice and despotism, lies incarcerated in a
Federal Bastile, gives us but little informa
tion, and that expressed in such dainty terms,
that we cannot even now give the actual facts.
We learn from the Compiler that Mr. Stehle
was arrested shortly after the repulse of Lee.
The cause, or supposed cause, is not stated,
and the agency in effecting it only hinted—
a soldier and some females—but no names
given. Well, this must answer, as nothing
more explicit can be bad. The Compiler says
" It appears that the editor having fallen
under the displeasnre of a person claiming to
be a soldier of our army, information was laid
before the proper military power, and thus,
upon the unsupported testimony of one walk
—the balme who violently tore down • the flag
that floated from the window of
.the Compiler
office—a citizen was deprived of his liberty—
& patriot of his home—and the unfortunate
victim of a prejudiced, distempered and malig
nant information is now confined within the
gloomy walls of Fort M'Henry. * * * *
At present we hate nothing to
.to nay as to the
right or wrong of these military arrests.. * *
"To the Provost General, acting upon the
information, presuming it was laid out of pure,
patriotic considerations, no blame attaches for
the arrest; but over the heads of those mis
erable, black-hearted wretches, male and
female, who, instigated by the vilest hearts,
have thus indirectly, by their acts, brought
this trouble and sorrow, not only to the victim
himself and his family, but to thousands of his
fellow-countrymen, who to-day feel as' if con
fined with him, hangs a day 'of retribution.
* * * The accused courted an examina
tion—his friends urged a hearing. The au:-
thorities deeming such a hearing nothing more
than a simple act of justice, were willing to
comply—but those citizens, political oppo
nents, were on hand, and of course an exam
ination and releaSe of Mr. Stable would have
been a sudden and unexpected end of their
deep laid plan. They aucceedey in prevent
ing a hearing, and thus through the interven
tion of these townsmen and neighbors we may
say, a victim to political malice, Henry J.
Stable is doomed lo await, beneath the shades
of the Baltimore bastile, the pleasure of the
administration in an examination of his
case."
The italics above are our own. "Nothing to
say as to the right or wrong of these military
airests." And pray why not? Shall an out
rage pass without comment, though committed
by the King? We pretend to say that it is
one of the many acts of gross violence, on the
part of the administration and its agents, sub
mitted to quietly by the people and the State
authorities, which degrade us as a free people
in our own estimation and in the estimation of
the world. Unless the civil laws were sus
pended, unless the civil authorities were in
capable of acting, or bad ceased to act at the
time of the arrest, it was a crime which admits
of no palliation, an outrage upon the freedom
of a citizen which deserves not only the severest
0041/419 DM , the severest. penalty prescribed by
the law which has been so ruthlessly trampled
upon. It is time these military infringements
of civil rights secured to the citizen by both
the national and State Constitutions ' should
Qv:tee—and they met cease, unless the admin
istration desires not only to alienate the little
respect which the people yet entertain for it,
but to convulse the Commonwealth and pro
voke open hostility. The wrong done to Mr.
Stahle, is a wrong inflicted upon every citizen
of the Commonwealth, and every citizen should
not only be willing, but prompt to resent it.
We think it the duty of the comp Or to Imo
the case more clearly, and to expose by same
every individual, male and female, through
whose agency the arrest was made.
Greene County.
A friend and active Democrat in Greene
county writes as follows :
"The nominations made by the late Demo
cratic State Convention meet a most hearty
and enthusiastic response from the Democracy
in this county. No former ticket has been so
univereally acceptable to our party i and as
we have excellent district and county tickets
also, you may expect a good account of us, on
the second Tuesday of October next, if the Czar
graciously permit us to hold an election' on that
day. Set "Little Greene" down good for 2,000
majority, if not more.
THAD. STEVENS AND HIS PROPHESY.—Thad.
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, was the well known
and recognized leader of the Administration or
Abolition party in the House of Representa
tives of the last Congress. The near approach
of the rebel army to Mr. . Stevens' honimead
in lAnonster_ nowity, recalls to the World at
speech he made in the House in January,
1862, in which he uttered the following prophe
sy.
The South can never be reduced to exhaus
tion so long as this war is conducted upon its
present principle—so long as they are left the
means of cultivating their fields through forced
labor, it - it Although the blank man never
lifted a weapon, he is really the tnainstay of
the rebellion. To end the war successfully,
the slaves must be made our allies. Univer
sal emancipation would end the war in six
months. It could not be maintained even if
the liberated slaves did not raise a hand
against their niasters. Unconditional sub
mission would be the immediate and necessary
result. -
It is curious to note that it is now six months
since the emancipation proclamation was is
sucd; yet the rebellion, instead of being
crushed by it, is brought to Mr. Stevens's ow?
doors.—Ohio Statesman. '

o'clock a. m. of the 10th inst., I made an at
tack upon the enemy's fortified position on the
south end of Morris Island, and, after an en
gagement lasting three hours and a quarter,
captured all his strongholds upon that part of
the Island, and pushed forward my infantry to
within 600 yards of Fort Wagner. We now
hold all the Island, except about one mile on
the north end, wbich includes Fort Wagner,
and a battery on commingle' Fnint, mounting,
at the present time, fourteen or fifteen heavy
guns in the aggregate.
The assaulting colunin was gallantly led by
Brig. Gen. Strong. It landed in small boats,
under cover of our batteries on Folly Island,
and four Monitors, led by Rear Admiral Dahl
green, which entered the main channel, abreast
of Morris Island, soon after our batteries
opened. The Monitors continued their fire
during the day, mostly against Fort Wagner.
On the morning of the 11th inst., at day
break, an attempt was made to carry Fort Wag
ner by assault. The parapet was gained, but
the supports recoiled under the fire to which
they were exposed, and coul4 not be got up.
Our lose in both actions is about 150 killed,
wounded and missing. The enemy's loss in
killed, wounded and missing is not less than
200.
We have taken 11 pieces of heavy ordnance,
and a large quantity of camp equipage. •

GALLANTRY OP ILLET'S MARINE BRIGADR-1,200
NEGROES CARRIED OFF.
WAsEmuToN, July 15.—The Navy Depart
ment to-day received a communication from'
Rear Admiral Porter, dated the 2d inst., in
which he states that on the 29th of June he
received a communication from Gen. Dennis,
commanding the post of Young's Point, in
forming him that our black troops had been
attacked at Goodrich's Landing, and that the
rebels were getting the upper hand of them.
A gunboat had already been despatched to
the point, but another was sent off without
delay. General Ellet was directed to proceed
with the Marine Brigade to the scene of Ra
tion, and remain there until everything was
quiet.
The hindmost vessel of the brigade, the John
Haines, arrived there as the rebels were betting
fire to the ac-called government plantations,
and supposing her to be an ordinary transport,
they opened fire on her with field pieces. - But
they were much surprised to have the fire re
turned with shrapnel, which fell.among them,
killing and wounding a number. , The result
was a retreat on the part of the rebels and the
escape of a number of negroes whom they had
imprisoned. •
The gunboat Romeo also came up the river
about this time, and bearing the firing, hur
ried to the scene of action. The ccmtontider
soon discovered that the rebels were setting
fire to the plantations, and commenced shelling
them, chasing them along theriver bank for a
distance of fifteen miles.
• The rebels set fire to everything as they went
along, and the result was an almost total de
struction of houses and property along the
river / front in that vicinity.
The rebels carried off about 1,200 negroes.
who were employed in working upon the gov
ernment plantations.
Gen. Ellet landed his forces, and in company
with a black brigade, proceeded to chase the
rebels, who were making a hasty retreat when
they found there was a force after them ; it was
ne part
.of their system to fight; they only
came to plunder and carry off the negroes.
Gen. Eliet found the road strewn with
broken carts and furniture, which the rebels
left in their haste to get away from our forces.
He pursued them as far as Tenses river, where
they had mused, burning the bridges and en
trenching thernselveh for a battle. This was
soon offered them, and our artillery opened on
them and put them to flight, notwithstanding
it was reported they had twenty field pieces.
Gen. Ellet, not knowing the country very
well, and having only a small force with him,
deemed it proper not to pursue the rebels
much further. He sent 200 infantry across
the bayou and found that the rebels had:• re
treated to Delphi, leaving all their plunder,
comprising splendid furniture, pianos, ire.,
strewn along the road.
The unexpected reinforcement of the brigade
and the gunboats saved the whole of the black
troops. It is only a teuiporary peace, how
ever, for as long as the blacks remain in snob
small numbers so long will they be an object
of attack.
The party that made this attack on the so
called government plantations are the same
that attacked Milliken's Bend some short time
since• They are a half-starved, half-nak e d
set, and WU. ih hOpeB ef capturing some of
the transports with clothing and • provisions.
They have not done so as yet, and the neces
sary precautions have been taken to prevent
their doing so at any, tithe.

PROCLAiIIATION BY THE PRESIDENT.
. WASHINGTON, July 15.
141 thcFraident of the United States of America:
A PROCLAMATION•
It has pleased Almighty God to hearken to the
supplications and prayers of an afflicted peo
ple, and to vouchsafe to the Army and Navy the
of the United States victories on land and on
the sea, so signal and so effective as to furnish
reasonable grounds for augmented confidence
that the Union of these States will be sustained,
their Constitution preserved, and their' peace
and prosperity permanently restored.
But these victories have been accorded not
without sacrifices of life, limb, health and lib
erty, incurred by brave, loyal, and patriotic
citizens. Domestic afflictions in every part of
the country follow in the train of these fearful
bereavements. 'lt is meet and right to recog
nize and confess the presence of the Almighty
Father, and the power of His hand equally in
these triumphs and these sorrows.

• OBEDIENCE TO LAW.—What do popular ex
cesses teach ?
They teach that the safety of the and
the security of the llovernment itself, depend
on the faithful observance of the laws, both by
the people and by their public agents.
Those persons' who have been preaching
from day to day that in war times there is no
law, (inter arma silent leges,) are more guilty of
the terrors of the outbreak in New York than
any other class in' community. If they set
aside courts and legal remedies, don't they in
vite mobs ?
Dare they face this question ?
Let these people obey the laws themselves—
let (hem atop sneering at the Constitution, the
bond of all law; let them quit suspending ju
dicial writs, and substituting armed, force for
the civil enginery of justice io the State.;_and
above all, let their - raving editors quit. infla
ming popular passions by all sorts of scandalous
epithets and villainous charges, and there wil
be less violence.
