PLATFORMS
The living faith of the Abolitionists
at presentns the Chicago platform; the
anti-slavery plank of this contrivance is
in their estimation far more sacred than
the constitution, and its. enforcement far
more important than the preservation
'df. the Union.
When pur present troubles first began
the Abolitionists told the country that
•Adherence to the Chicago platform was
It more sacred duty than laboring to save
A crumbling Union. Such men as "Sena
tor Wilkinson,ofMinnesota, telegraphed
that a little blood letting for the Union
would do it good. We have had “some
blood letting,” but we cannot perceive
its beneficial effects.
But our intention just now is not to
allude to these fanatics on the slavery
question, but to ask them if one portion
of the Chicago platform is not as binding
as another ? If it is, we should like to
know why the following sixth plank of
it is so shamefully violated ?
“SiarfA—That the people jußtly view with
alarm the reckless extravagance which
pervades every department of the federal
government; that a return to rigid econo'
my and accountability ib indispensiblo to
arrest the system of the public treasury by
favored partS&ns; while the recent start,
ling developments of fraud and corruption
at the federal metropolis, show that an em
tire change of administration is impera
tively demanded.”
If the people jußtly viewed with
“alarm” the reckless extravagance of the
government when this resolution was
drawn, what must be their alarm now ?
When the Chicago Convention was held
there was no great robbery perpetrated,
or at least found out. It was before
Floyd’s rascality was discovered. But
take Floyd’s operations all together and
multiply them by ten and they will not
begin to compare with the operations of
thenavyandwardepartmentsnow. Here
is an opportunity for these sticklers for
platforms to enforce this sixth plank,
the only one in that deceitful contri.
vance containing the least practical
sense.
In older to enable our Abolition con
temporaries to make a successful search
for the rascality to which we have allu
ded, we direct their attention to the re
port of the Van Wyck Committee. There
they will'find some things well calcula
ted to “alarm the people." We have
already alluded to the fact of the Secre
tary of War entrusting two millions of
dollars to Mr. Alexander Cummings, to
purchase government stores; apd we
have also mentioned the fact of the said
having recently left New
Yorktor Europe.“to restore, his health.”
, another little item belonging to
the Navy Department, well worth the
a tention of the champions of the Bixth
to< Siting on this
porn the Philadelphia Inquirer says:
„ rangem^mXbeU^ ao s r f in “Y
the Navy and his
Committee feel oalled upon to th
most reprehensible and P demotauX”!!
This was an understanding by whieh B ’h«
was to be paid two and a bait
upon all the purchases he made fortt,„
government. TJnder this arrangement hu
contracts amounted, in five months to SI
786,932, and bis profits to $95,608, or near
ly as much for his five montas’ service
as the whole salary of the President of the
United States for a term of four years.
And all this without any skill in the busi
ness or any responsibility of any kind, and
without any trouble but asking a few idle
questions of the disinterested parties who
cheated him into the purchase of inferior
vessels at exhorbitant prices.”
What will strike the reader just here
as being remarkable, is the fact that a
few weeks before the meeting of Con
gress, intimations were thrown out by
letter writers and others, to the effect
that the War and Navy Departments
were making tremendous efforts to pre
vent jobbers and contractors from fleec
ing the. government. Was this to lull
into confidence in the integrity of these
Departments, those whom they feared
would expose their villainies?
The Philadelphia North American, al
luding to the Van Wyck investigation,
sayß that the committee has laid bare
the fact that untold Bums have been
squandered on wretched contracts, ille
gal and monstrous commissions, and by
a thousand other varieties of that gen
teel robbery which goes by/such names
as peculation. It seems to us that there
is at this crisis another more expressive
and farmore appropriate,designation for
these offences, and that is treason. The
rebel who fairly stands up in the ranks
of a hostile army we know how to con
tend against; but the secret enemy in
Our own ranksjwh I goes with us merely
, . to bag tho public money and steal away
■: to some more congenial clime with it,
whodothes our soldiers in ragß and gives
them rotten blankets to Bhield them from
the rude wintry blast, is he less guilty
than the open and avowed rebel of that
crime which the Constitution defines as
‘giving aid and comfort to the enemy?’
The money is lost, says some one, and
it is of no use looking after it. We dif
fer with that. There is a use. These
harpies must be made to disgorge. We
dare not how high they have been hold
ing their heads, they ought to be prose
cuted at once, and that to the full ex
■ 'tent of the law; and Congress should de-
Dtand of the President that he purge
the departments thoroughly of all Buch
influences. This measure is due to those
who are furnishing the government with
the sinews of war, that they may be sat
isfied that the money so liberally sup-
iiot wasted on corrupt hangers
on.

KASOTT AJSTD SLIDEDL. -
On. November 19th, we published the
‘fireftelegraphic ncoonnt of the arreet of
Messrs. Mason and Slidell, accompanied
with some editorial remarks denouncing
the arrest, based on well known Ameri
can law and usage, and in violation of
precedents, we had ventured to go to war
upon with Great Britain. We advised
the immediate return to Europe bf Ma
son and Slidell as a matter of policy and
safety. We said:
“The whole country will applaud the zeal and
pluok of Oaptain Wilkes in this transaction: but
cool and sober minded men must nevertheless con
demn it. He has brought the country into a bad
scrape, and the sooner we get out of it the moi©
gracefully we can do so. It will never do to rush
wrong end foremost into a quarrel with Great Brit
ain for the sake of a brace of traitors. We aAy this,
not because Great Britain is powerful; but because
xce cannot afford, especially at a time like this, to per
sist in a wrong* Th's were to atriks down at a ble w
all international law and comity, and throw the
whole world into anarchy.
Suppose we bold on to Messrs. Mason andßlidell,
we must not, cannot treat t- em as traitors, after
arresting them in the manner we did. Wt-ll then,
we shall send them to Fort Lafayette, as we have
done others equally guilty. What then? Why we
should in that, way do more to {strengthen their
cau»e in Europe than a thousand Masons sod irll
dells could do, were they there, it would be the
strongest possible acknowledgment that we feared
them—feared them to such a degree that we pre
ferred to trample under foot all national rights, and
rsfe a rapture with the mo«t powerful nation cn
earth, rather than let them cross the Atlantic, itely
upon it, those desperate diplomatic adventurers—
lor at best they are nothing else —cot Id accomplish
more, a thousand fold, in Fort Lafayette than they
oould do at the Court of Bt. James and St. Cloud.—
Let them go. Put them on board the first steamer
that sails, and send after them a shout of derisive
defiance. In that way, and in that way only, can
cuttheirdaws and extract their fangs. No man
knows better how to make a courteous and digni
fied apology than Mr. Seward, and we h ope he will
do it promptly.
To hold these men as prisoners would, under the
circumstances, do us no good, but, as we have en
deavored to show, incalculable injury. Fortunate
ly the outrage on the Brttiah flag was so flagrant
that its disavowal can never be attributed to any
other impulse than that of honor and fair dealing.
But should there be the slighted hesitation about
making the amende honorable, we shall lose all the
advantages that wo might derive from oar magna
nimity and our a meat scornful indifference as to
the whereabouts of this brae© of rebels and mis
chief makers. If our government should restore
them to liberty, and send them on their way, the
symyatby of Europe would be changed to laughter.”
It is the moat unfortunate blunder of
this Administration to have waited until
our own people were strongly commits
ted to the propriety of the arrest, forti
fied it would seem, at the request of
government, by the best legal ability of
the day, to have waited until the Secre
tary of the Navy endorsed Commodore
. Wilkes and even Congress took action
upon it.
To have waited until England was in
flamed and roused to her very depths at
what she considered a wanton aggression
upon her flag, to have hesitated, until
her threats reached us in an unmistaka
ble form, and then to have suddenly dis
covered the course of Commodore Wilkes
could not be justified, was to administer
to our lips, for the first time in our his
tory, the bitter cup of national humilia
tion. We wore about prepared to aay to
this“highway robber,” if you want Mason
and Slidell, come and take them. W e
yield nothing under compulsion We are
fearful of this last strain upon this Ad
ministration. Demagogues in and out of
Congress will take advantage of it, and
embarrass Mr. Lincoln if they can. His
great fight will be at home, not abroad,
but if he comes safely through, which
we hope and pray he may, then is he
indeed invinoible.
It will be seen by the dispatches pub
lished in thiß morning’s Post, tbat the
English government has taken high
ground in their demand for the surren
der of the rebel Embassador*. Tbat
government not only in the most per
emtory manner demands the surrender,
but insists also upon our government
making ample apology. Mr. .Seward
gives up the prisoners, but consid
era an apology unnecessary, because,
lie Bays, Capt. Wilkes acted upon his
own responsibility in making the seiz
ure, and not under any instructions from
our government. This explanation, we
presume, will save our government the
necessity of making any further apology.
e are not disposed to be captious
with our government, in this matter, we
cannot .but remember, however, that the
f r mi ?w r u ion & Yer ? great man
of Capt. Wilkes after his capture of Mason
and Slidell, and for the very act which
they now repudiate and condemn.
OUR ARM V CORRESPONDENCE,
From Col. Black’s Begiment
Gamp Ljcttt Black, )
Dec. 24th, 1861. j
Ma. Editor As you will observe by the date of
this letter, oar camp has Lt last been christened.
The name was suggested by Cap.am Crozier, of
Company M, (the Blair county sharpshooters,) in
honor of the Colonel’s little daugh.er, and pet, who
isa universal favorite all through thelragiment.
Although our own boys have been denied the
pleasure, so frr, of having a pop at the rebels,
some of oar immediate neighbors have been more
fortunate On Friday last, several of the Penn
aylvania reserve regiments were engaged in the
battle cf DrainesviUe. The Sixth, commanded by
Col; RicbeUs, the Niith by CoL Jackson
and the Tenth by Colonel McOalmonb
Twelfth by Col. Taggart, and the “Buck Tail Ei
-068,” by Lieut Col. Kane, all had a hand in t!)e
muss, and rendered good service, as jou will h ave
received the details of this engagement, I need
not give them here, bat will mention that a Pitts
burgh Captain, Robert Galway, bore himself gal
lantly. Captain Samuel B. Dick, of Meadvillc, Pa.
who has a number cf relatives in Pittsburgh, also,
of the Nintfa, received a stvere flesh wound in the
thigh, tot both the young braves, their friends will
be happy to learn, are doing well and will soon be
on duty vg*m.
The coolness and firmness of mind displayed
by UeuLCol. Anderson, of the Ninth, is tho ; ub
ject of remark and commendation. Robert has
smelled powder before, and of course c<.n stand the
fire. The old Keystone bt*i« W! i. never have ar.y
caoge to be ashamed of her numerous hsttai
lions.
Out grand review oame off on Saturday, as indi
cated in my last, it was a fine display. The gi> a i
event of the day, however, was the presentation
and reception of the flags. Senator Cowan pres
ented, and Col Black received them. The follow
ing Is the Colonel’s speech upon the oocasiou :
CoL Black, of the Sixty-second, in behalf of his
own regiment and Col. McLean/ of the Etgh’.y
third, received the flags, and made the following
reply:
Sxsatob: la the name and Id behalf of the
regiment which 1 have the goo.i fortune to com
mand, and m their name who .have the good for
tune to be commanded by my friend, CoL U’Lean,
a mutual honor to each other, 1 accept those col
ors of our country, a gift from the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, oar mother.
Past memories and present troubles c; mbine to
increase and make more intense our devotion to
the national h*g- We witness to-day, and wiil
witness with uplifted hands, and hearts unchang
ed, tbat perfidy and rebellion athom-r, either alone,
otauied by. habitual arrogance ?nd
abroad, shall serve only to gather ua more closely
around the standard of our country.
When the dev is clear, and the winds are still, it
leans upon its staff in patriarchal and peaoefol re
po >e —an object of calm and contented lovo.
But when it trembles in the storm, a nation as*
89nble? at its silsn: call; battailions people every
hil.; the might*.- hosts of the monntainß hasten to
the fl«ld; qmdrons sweep oer every plain; and
sovereign Bute?, sensible that loyalty is the sign
of independence, form themselves into one solid
squadron for its defence.
We turn with pride to the great Pennsylvania
sentiment of patriotism embraced in her flags
now unfurled before us. Behold and admire the
botuty of the glowing thought that shines upon
the standard! The arms of the State are inlaid
amongst the stars of the Union 1 Her shield, her
buckler, ana her strength are there. Her own
star ii there; but which one is here? Who, by
searching, can find out or declare? The utmost
art of astrology employs its mystic power in vain,
and reveals only that which a child can see —that
one star diflereth not from another sta* m glory,
1 but all shine together in the same heaven and
with the same origins! and independent lustre,
And oh, sir, can we help but turn with heavv
hearts and swelbog indignation, when we see the
standard wmen rebellion has reared, to the tear*
,ng <s\ nder of precious ues, and shaking to Its
foundation the truest and best Government on the
globe? Something remains of the original, but
only enough to show the sacrilege perpetrated
upon the very symbol of our glory.
It h&B plucked the bright emblems of our na*
uonal progress and power from their sppointed
p.ace, and ins ead thereof, has planted a fading
tree, which blooms to-day, iiko the grass, “and
tc-morrow is cut down and cast into the oven;”
rebellion and Confederate folly failing to remem*
bar that stars are the Divine tokens of advancing
kingdom, and liave been since the star that
beamed on Bethlehem first Aimed in the fore
head cf the sky. «
Bir.jcu have our thanks for (he act of present,
ation gracefully performed, for your sentiments
of kiud feeling tiud generous confidence, for the
words of beauty, eloquence, and power, euoh as
come only from a cioar head and a sound heart.
You do not misunderstand us. We have dedicated
ourselves, in solemn covenant, to the services of
the country, the defence and vindication of its
flag, the restoration of the Constitution in all its
power, and the preservation and perpetuity of the
American Union in every part of its wide and great
dominion.
We join yoain the noble thought that this is a
war ol rescue ana not of desolation, of deliver
ance and not of destruction, of protection to the
people in every Stale, who prefer the glory of a
great Republic to the shame of foreign depen*
dunce, tie sure sequel of successful disunion!
But, s r, of he great result, we entertain not a
single doubt, nor the slightest apprehension. The
fiag of the Union is our flag as it was our fathers,
and we rece.ve from them, though dead, their liv
ing faith that it shall not perish.
Before we part, may I not say to you, companions
of my ear y days; friend “n y life long, even until
now;” honored senator of my native Btate; we de
sire no change of standards and none of standard
bearer. In our com tins and our commcnder our
confidence is full of tke sea and fixed as the hills
Their deVJny now is one and inseparable, and aide

prepared to stand or fait
Inclosing, i ofieruo pledge nor promise. But

SONGS OF THE CAMP,
Bayard TayUrV b.-au iful verses, fuund«H on
an incident in the Crimean War, wilt hear rep*tl
iion at ihi* time, when war, its glory and ii« sor
row, occupy the mmd of ilie nation :
“Give us a p'.ng !” the soldiers cried,
1 h** outer trenches guarding,
Wh**n the he ted gun of the tramp aided
Grew weary of Isimbardin/.
The dark Redan, in silent tjoiff,
hay, grim and threatening, under.
And the tawny mouth of the Malakort
No longer belched iu thunder.
There was a pause. Tho pu&rUmau *ai<i,
“We Morin tho forts t*. morrow.
Biag while we may. another day
Will bring enough of sorrow.”
They lay along the hettery’a side,
Below *he smoking cannon—
Brave heart* from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
'I hey sang of love and not of fame—
Forgot wa« Britain’s g<-ry;
Eich heart recalled b d fferent name,
But all rang— ‘Annie Laurie.”
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender pa**ion
Rose like an anthem, rich and w rong
Their battle eve confession.
Doat girl—her name he dared not speak—
Yet, as the song grow louder,
Something up<»n the soldier’s cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening oceaa burned
The bloody sunset’s embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And ODoe agai o a fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters.
With scream of *hot and burst of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora’s eyesore dim,
For a singer, dum and goary !
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of “Annie Laurie.”
Ah! soldiers, to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing;
The bravest are the tenderesi—
The loving Are the daring l
