TILE NATIONAL PLATFORM,
PU&BOSES OF THE WAR.
Congress, by a vote nearly unanimous, passed
the following reselution, which expresses the
voice of theliation and is the true standard of
Loyalty:
u.That the .present deplorable civil war has been
'forced Amon the country by the disunioniata of the'
Southern States. now m arms against the Constitutional
+Government, and in arms around the Capital; that in
this National emergency, Congress, banishing all feel
ing of mereparaion or resentment, will recollect oily
its duty to the *tole eenntvi that this war ir . no t
isiged on their-part in oast spurt of oppression, or jar
any .purpose of c onquest . or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrowing or- interfering with therights or established
institutions of those States t 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 eteeemptished the War ought to cease."
Case of Wm. Borland.
We invite - attention to the statement of Mr.
Wm. Borland, of Cumberland county, in alio
iher column. Mr. B. is a respectable man, and
loyal to the •Constitution and his country.—
That much we can attest. Upon information
of *George 'Bergner, (having committed no
offence,) he waszed by military authority,
and for three days and nights wronnfullv held
*nun, - mere appearing to be no evi
dence against him worthy of credit, he was
discharged. It was as gross an outrage as ever
was perpetrated.
The President will Enforce the Dreft.
Horace Greeley—as undoubtedly every other
ultra Abolitionist and Republican—"learns
witk the airteeratdeligh.t, that President Lincoln
has declared his determination to "ENFORCE
THE DRAFT UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTAN
CES." it frerther rejoices the Philosopher fbd
all other good Abolitionists and ultra Republi
cans to "know that the People will stand by"
the President (he calls him the "Government")
in this "enforcing". operetion. We fancy the
Philosopher and his friends feel more delight
over the determination of His Excellency, the
President, than the "People" do upon whose
support he so confidently relies. Horace may
be a Philasopher, but 'he has proven himself
to be a poor prophet in more instances than
one—and in this instance he and his friend
the President may find the "circumstances," in
New York, at least, rather perglezing.
Governor .Seymour has assured the people,
that the draft will be suspended for the time
being, that they shall he protected in all their
rights, that the constitutionality of the act of
Congress under which the draft is being made
shall be tested, and that the decisions of the
courts shall be maintained. If the courts de
clare the law unconstitutional, it would be not
only unwise, but perilous for the adminietr a-
Aim to attempt to override the decision. This
would be establishing a dangerous preeedent.
'awed. for law' is the only security we have
,for the permanency of our Gtieernment, and
.our temporary rulers should be the last to set
the example of disrespect for the laws of the
Land, for by so doing they inaugurate revolu
tion, dissolve the bonds which hold society to
gether, and pie age the country into anarchy
2nd confusion.
If 'after our recent successes more men are
Fitill needed for the restoration of the Union,
a call upon the States far their necessary
quotas would, doubtless, be promptly answered
by volunteers, or filled by a State draft_ This,
in one opinion, is the only constitutional
method. Any other is an experiment.
President Lincoln is undoubtedly strong.
He is clothed with dictatorial power—as far as
acts of Congress. in violation of the letter and
spirit of the Constitution can confer it—and
he has shows hUaselt aut disiaalined to use it.
But even strong men have fallen. Right acme
times prevails over might. History is replete
with instances wherein rulers, assuming too
much, have lost all. Even despots—in govern
ments always despotic, where the subject, or
Serf, was edgcated to bear tyranny patiently._
have, by straining their power to its utmost
tension, and. layingthe last feather on the
camel's back, fallen by revolution, or the knife
of the assassin. What -folly, then, if neither
subjects nor serfs will bear an over-burden of
.
tyranny, to imppsso that latkerieall eitmensi—
educated to freedom, with, all their rights, and
the exact power of their rulers de
fined by constitutions and laws, and as familiar
to them as the faces of their households—will
tamely submit to unwarranted and arbitrary
exactions. Mr. Lincoln, and the. party , BUB
taining him in his usurpations, should reflect.
The memory of the elder Adams is held in de
testation to this day, and will be forever—and
yet the very worst•of hie many had acts was
by no means so detestable as many dihe lesser
criminalities of his administration. They

is that event it , would bons unorganised,

legions of the administration ; bat men as good
and as true as themselves, organized, andcffi.-
cared, and armed ; and, what is of still more
consegnence, secure in the consciousness that
they were fighting for the preservation of con
stitutional rights .and guarantees against a
usurping rower that would destroy them and
subvert the Government.. And recollect fur
ther, that in Book a conflict' not all' the. bayo
nets in the army would be turned against the
people. Those who would be engaged in such
a struggle against lawless oppression have
fathers and sons and brothers—whole brigades,
divisions and corps of them in that army who.
if they fired m charged at all, would fire and
charge against >the oppressors of their blood
and the enemies of their country.
3.efore needlessly and cruelly provokatg
'fresh revolution by retorting to unnecessarily
extreme measures, it will be well for those who
contemplate the act to pause and consider
these things. Revolution in the North is death
to the administration and its party. To all
political death—to tens of thousands literal
and bloody eeatit.
No monarch apparently sat more securely
en his throne .one day before the rerolution
broke at than Louis :Philippe, King of 'the
French. Paris literally bristled with bayo
nets, and as ens dreamed, twenty-four hours
before the accomplishment of the fact, that any
power in France could move the solid founda
tions of his thene or pluck the kingly diadem
from his head. What occurred ? • The people
demanded 'of him same concessions, Bonier ex
&Won of their r prividegm The Peg M one
time was inclined to yield. " Sire," Said M.
Guirot, "yield not,. No monarch •in Europe
sits more firmly on his throne than your
Majesty." In twenty-four hours that Mug,'
who listened to the bad advice of a Minister,
in spite of all :kis bayonets, was hurled from
his throne, a. fugitive for life, and ended his
days in exile. Here is a' lemon 'which Mr.
Lincoln may study with profit:.
The French people asked an . extension. of
privilagea, and, because it-was refused, over
turned the throne and'drolit the petildiOtto Men
arch from France.
The. American; ,people ask no extension of
rights—buttrut3ting in aGod of Justice, in their
own brave hearts and strong arms, 'they mean,
at all hazards, and. under alt circumstances,
to preserve the rights they have—rights that,
by maws and the Berms of the Constitution,
belong te them.
Let us be precisely understood. The event
of which we speak is not of the nature
of the recent uprising in: the city of New
York and elsewhere.. Upon all such Move
ments it should. he tha t.
savie, the proper restraints which the execn"
tors of law have it in their power to bring to
bear. We hold all such demonstrations equal
ly at fault in policy and prindiple—they never
attain the cads they at—they take upon
themselves, without trhe ,color of any authority,
the construction of thelaw in advance of and out
of the hands of those whose duty it is to decide
upon their propriety, and those whose prerog
ative it is to see to it ihatuo improper legisla
tion be put in execution in defiance of decisions
so rendered by the duly constituted ,tribtaitela
of the land. They are unfortunate for all con,-
eerned, universally impracticable in their re
sults, besides being in open opposition to all
established rules for the - .Welfare and good
governance of society. It is not from an nn
organized and desperate rabtde we would ex
pect a refuge against rights Utvaded and broken
laws, oppression and Usurpation—but through
the action of the separate States, in their legis
lative bodies, their. courts and the chosen
guardians of their sovereign rights. When
these move in concert to oppose the projected
oppressions of fatuttiOiera and in dues, the
may the reckless usurpers who persist, if they
will persist, in overriding the sacred covenant ,
of our liberties, tremble—tlion may the revo
lution of which we speak be ripe and powerful:
We clip the following. - from the JOhnstown
Lemocrat :
WHO ARE THE TRAITORS ?—The Abolition
organ in this place, which is owned, edited
and controlled by officers and leaders of the
" Unicn League," lately used the following
language. and yet has the effrontery to charge
the Democracy with treacou to the Delon,
Read and be convinced '
" The Union as it was, was a cheat, a horrid
incubus, a devil's dream, grateful Only to the
feculent imagination of the desperate and de
praved. It can never be realized."
This has become - the habitual language of
the radicals. It pervades the Court, the Cabi
net, the press and the party. It is, in short,
the sublime idea upon whiOh the war is now
conducted. The Constitution is to be subver
ted, the Union destroyed, and a new Govern
ment of centralized power reared upon the solid
foundations of infidelity, fanaticiesa and equal
ity of races. The times are evil and the signs
port entiotts.
PROSPECT OF STARVING THE REBELS —Those
who believe in the "starvation" policy with
the rebels, are directed to a perusal of the fol
lowing summary of the Southern crops, pub-
Ratted in late Richmond papers The wheat
orop, which is immense, is safely gathered,—
Flour has taken a lofty tumble. Wheat has
been sold at $2 per bushel, and the highest
price named is $2 50. It will not be sold to
speculators, but to consutters and the govern
mutt, sh ev ld speculators get hold of any, the
government efficers will take charge of it Fa
once, and put holuietus to all Flub work. The
prospect for cora is beyond belief. Many
think it will not bring over 25 cents a bushel.
Of sweet potatoes and Teas a very large ,crop
has been planted.

in Harrisburg by the militaiiatithorities upon
, information,'sworn to by George Bergsser,Tost
-master, I deem it due to myself and my friends
to publish a statement of the facts in the oast,
'andirope you will give-this letter an insertion
in your valuable journal.
One of my neighbors went to Baltimore on
the Friday before the railroad was torn up be
low York, to collect money due for flour be had
previously Bent down, and not having returned
at the time appointed his-wife became very
much alarmed for his safety. The rebels at
the time were in the near vicinity and people
flying in all directions. which would naturally
arouse the fears of a -woman, and to quiet her
mind I agreed to go to -Harrisburg and send a
dispatch to Matthew & Fitzbue of Baltimore,
to know if her husband Was there. When
about to start I told the person who carries the
mail from this point to Harrisburg that if it
would accommodate him, I would take the mail
along and bring it back again when I returned.
He gave it to me and I got a pass at the west
end of the bridge, went over to the city and
completed my business. When ready to return
I found it difficult to get a pass, and called
upon Oeo. Bergner, Postmaster, requesting him
to give me a note . to •General Couch, which
would procure me a pass, as I was carrying
the mail. He ached me ialy hatri,.eivrote a note
and handed it to me, upon presentation of
which I got a pass. 'When it was being signed
Captain Tarbdtton asked the officer signing it,
whether it was necessary for me to come up
every time for a pass ? Without replying be
wrote upon it "until further orders."
On Sunday morning returned to Harris
burg with the expectation of getting an answer
to the dispatch I had sent to Baltimore, and
when abotit to return lime I was arrested by
Gee. Bergner, handed over to the military au
thorities and east by them into a filthy dun•
geon at Camp Curtin,. where I was kept for
three days and three nightlin solitary confine
ment, without having an oppo#unity to com
municate with my friends. The dark dungeon
in which I was confined had evidently been
used as a privy, and the lour arid, wails were
covered with human excrement, among which
the maggots rolled and crawled, and the odor
from which was sickening in the extreme.
On Wednesday evening I was taken before
the Provost Marshal; where I found that my
accusers had been before me, giving in their ex
pane testimony, and yet no charge had been sus
tained against me. After this I was kept in
confinement twenty-four hours longer, await
ing the •leisure of General Couch to examine
the testimony and decide/upon it.
e Bergner swore that -I had obtained my pass
through false representations. This Is simply
a lie. I procured the pass fairly and honor
ably as_ above stated. 'My mission was a kindly
one, to relieve the fears of my neighbor—a
woman—and to accommodate the regular mail

THE ATTACK Ole CHARLESTON
FULLEST PARTICULARS VET PUBLISHED
The Richmond Dispatch of July 14, furnishes
the following :
The Charleston papers bring us some fur
ther particulars of the attack on that city.—
Thursday morning it was discovered that the
enemy had been strongly reinforced both on
Big and Little Folly Islands, and their barges
with which to make the attack on Morris
Island were tied to the piles in the creek.
There were four monitors outside, two at the
mouth of Stono river, and onein the river. The
Mayor, upon receiving this information, issued.
the folinwing proclamation :
Mina's OPPICS, Z .
Whereas : The enemy by land and sea have

appeared in large force on the islands and
neighborhood of the city, and in consultation
with Gen. Beauregard, he expressed the opin
ion that an attack upon our -city is imminent,
and with the concurrence of Gen. rt ea ur egard,
I advise and earnestly request all women and
children, and other non-combatants, to leave
the city as soon as possible.
CHARLES IVIABETH, Mayor.
This was followed by two other proclama
tions, calling on citizens to elose their places
of business, and-ordering the arrest-of all free
negress in the city, as they were , wanted to
work on some unfinished defences on Morris
'eland. Daring the 'day some five or more
transports appeared - off • the harbor, and. the
Yankees in Stono river amused themselves
during the day by shelling two points on
James Island.
The Charleston Courier furnishes the follow
ing particulars of the fighting on Friday:
The morning was fair. Light, fleecy clouds
floated slowly over the.deep blue firmament.
Not a breath of wind stirred through. the
branches, brig
and the bay and ocean were smooth
and
it as a mirror. The air was hot,
heavy, and close, relaxing the frame and bead
ing the brow with drops of moisture. It was
just the kind of weather to ittflict the largest
amount of inconvenience upon the enemy in
those turreted monsters, the pride of the Yan
kee nation.
About davliffht Friday rerun; n.tr-o,..bAt tery_of

the right and left, causing' some havoc among
both officers wifd men.

one of these that the gallant Lietitenant John
Bee was killed; a minie ball striking and pas
sing through his head. The men, notwith
standing this terrible shower of solid shot,
shell and bullets, stood to their guns nobly,
and it was not .until they were completely czr,-
hausted, and the enemy who had landed in
force were rapidly ipproaohing, that the order
was given to retire. .
The enemy succeeded in capturing several
of our men, whose exhausted condition pre
vented escape. . Captain. J. Ravenel Macbeth
and Lieut. G. Haywood are reported among
the prisoners so taken. It was stated yester
day that captain Itiiteh4ll wits at one time in
the.hands of the enemy, wLen his men rallied
and succeeded in getting him away , from his
captors. After the abandonment of the bat
tery Captain Mitchell's artillery men fell lb;ck
with the infantry to Battery Wagner. The
enemy's infantry then threw out
t al e lines ineof
skirmishers and advanced, forming three
Of bettle across ciregg's Hill. to Vioegar Hill.
The 21st regiment S. C. V., Major M'lver,
commanding, and Nelson's battallion, together
with the artillerists, all under the command
of Colonel Graham, were .sent forward to op
pose the enemy's further progress. A.severe
fight ensued, and our forces gradually fell back
to Battery Wagner. Two desperate but Amebic-
OleSfel attempts 10 carry the battery by . ,as ,
sault were made by the Yankees. In both
assaults the enemy suffered terribly, leaving a
large number of their- dead and wounded on
the field.
The Yankees after this fell back to Vinegar
Hill. It is said they took and still hold posses
'a former headquarters,
,ion of Colonel Graham
The enemy, after falling back, received rein
forcemente„and made a show of again moving
against the.battery. The force of the enemy
engaged on 'Friday is supposed to have been
about four thousand. Our loss: in killed, woun
ded and missing, will probably be about three
hundred
The firing on both sides ceased about half
past six, when the Monitors withdrew. The
report that one left during the engagement in
a orippled condition was untrue.
The whole four were engaged throughout
the action, and in the afternoon their fire upon
Battery Wagner was very severe. We learn,
however, that the battery was very slightly
injured. - An officer, whe observed the effects
of our shots, says they struck and rolled off
the aides and decks of the Monitors 'like so
many marbles or pebble-stones. Capt. Has
kell's and Lieut. Bee's bodies fell into the
hands of the enemy. Drs. R. D. Hanahan and
Prioleau are said to be prisoners in the hands.
Of the enemy.
Capt. Langdon Cite Yea, an accomplished and
very efficient officer of the engineer corps, was
killed almast instantly by a shell from a Moni
tor exploding in Battery Wagner and striking
him in the head. His body was brought to
the city last evening.
l'ort Sumpter opened on the turreted mon
sters and the Yankee infantry on the.sonth
end of Morris bland, with what result we are
unabls to say. The #ght doubtless will be
renewed to day with greater fierce nesss than
nny we have yet seen. .
The enemy has certainly shown a deep-laid

They remsine I there on Satiirday without land

still there. It is stated from another quarter that
they moved up toward City Point on Sunday ;
and from still another quarter—a gentleman
direot from Lower Brandon—that they have
not been there at all. The public can take
their choice of these rumors, as it is
,quite im
possible to aticertain their truth.
THE YANICEEB ON JAMES RIVER
- The Richmond Examiner, Of the 13th, says:
"Information was received here on Sanlrday
night that two monitors, eight gunboats and a
flotilla of transports had made their appear
ance at Brandon, on the lower James river.—
The transports were said to be crowded with
troops, which they were landing on the south
side of the river. Yesterday a report was re
ceived from the same source stating that the
transports had not landed any troop's, but that
the whole fleet were moving still higher up the
river: If all that we have mentioned be true

THE ARMIES OF MEADE ANA) LEE
THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC RESTING AT BERLIN,
MARYLAND—LEE RETREATING ACROSS THE
RAPPAHANNOCK, AC.
BERLIN, Md., July 16.—The Army of - the
Potomac is in this city. Row
. long it will re
main is of pourse only known to Gen. Meade.
It is`probe.ble that some days will be spent in
recuperating both men and horses, both , of
whom have suffered from long and fatiguing
marches. The position is one which gives the
tirmy the advantage of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, andiphere it can be easily and abun
dantly fed.
The, proximity of the river ithitlee of great
advantage to the men, and the army will pro
bable be put through a thorough ablution.' It
is not probable that the present inactivity will
be long continued.
Lee is said to be pushing as rapidly as pos
sible for Culpepper, and will hardly stop until
beyond- the Rappahantick. The necessity of
feeding his army—which cannot well be moo M
plished at any great distance from Richmond—
will hurry his movements.
As there is a decided scarcity of news from
our own sources, we are obliged to supply the
deficiency from the rebel papers.
WHAT THEY SAY 01 LEE'S FAILURE.
The Richmond Whig of July 9 says:
The intelligence from General Lee falls far
short of the promise of the dispatches published
yesterday, and will , prove a grievous disappoint
ment of the high wrought hopes of the public. Su
',treaded le the ealatnity at Vieksburg, it east
a sombre shadow over our affairs ; but we must
constantly bear in mind that it is in adversity
that true greatness is revealed in its noblest
attributes, and we must resolve that, come
what nny, the cause shall never go down, nor
lack courageous hearts or !Stout arms enough
to bear it on to _a ttlnr-—. -3,
