faVOf' qf the' slaughter of white wen./
just.,so long as there is a slave m the
South to fight for. From this it will
seep', ithat the most sanguinary anJjjj;
nndcnl Abolitionist in the land is likely
to have as much war aa will do him for
all timeto come. ,
Allowing the truth of the Abolition
Statement that the country cannot re
main h&lf slave add half free—although
they did so remain from the foundation
of the 1 Union nntil Abolitionism obtain -
ed control of this. Government—let us
see what, the experiment to set the slaves
of,, the South free has already cost the
people? ' When the hostilities began
thereto four millions of slaves in the
South, - -Since then we have Bpent four
thousand millions of dollars in the war,
- being jjjtof thousand apiece for all the
slaves tlien in the Confederacy. But
have , we, because iof this terrible outlay,
freed the slaves? Not a bit of it. There
may have escaped from slavery, since
the war began, from a hall to a million
of men, women, and children-; but every
one thus redeemed from slavery, has
cost us the life of one white soldier at
least. ~ And, now, after three years of
slaughter, with the country mourning
the losseß of her brave sons, we are in -
formed .tliat another conscription, far
monjinexorable than any yet, enforced,
is about to Jbe launched upon ns.
Butwas notthis bewildering sacrifice
of precious llves and treasure necessary
to restore the Union? .No, because if
prudence and not fanaticism had had
control of the Government, hostilities
never vtould have begun. The party in
powey were actuated by hate towards
the Southern people. For years the
leading* Abolitionists denounced all
union with slave hplders—declared that
they dpsued to be cut loose from them,
bnt.aasoon'laS'the South determined to
set up for themstejyea, we find ourblood
letters exhabstingfhe liveeof the North,
not tOiipaintain the (Union and. the laws,
but toißubjngate the Southern people
and 6e£ : their negroes free. To ac
complish these designs 'the war has
been fliotrapted,., until now we find
Grant ~ laboring ■to obtain success
upon ground occupied by McClellan,

A FEW .WORDS OF CRITICISM.
At the risk of being charged with
discoaraging the Sanitary Fair and its
objects, we are constrained to speak a
few words opposition to certain mat
ters of at least bad taste in the arrange
ments. First, we batvieelp thߔsenti r
mentsofthe management and real friends
of the charitable institutions bf this city.
—Passavant’s Infirmahy. aid ,the Mer
cy Hospital—when we edndemn the an-
tagonism in which they are placed by
the rivalry in contributions which is
gotten np apparently for their benefit.
The some may be said of the pitting of
the Protestant Orphan Asylum against
the Catholic Orphan Asylum. True
charity makes no distinction between
suffering humanity; then why should
persons do so who profess to be actua
ted in their contributions and advocacy
Tt l,
nevoleDce cannot approve of such a
grovelling species of charity, and little
good can result from substance secured
through the abasement of the human
heart.
There is another matter. We find
that the nanie9 of deceased Generals,
are pitted against each other ior various
articles, which can he of no use to them
in their honored resting"-places, and of
but little practical value to the relatives
who may be the recipients. It must be
harrowing to the mourning relicts of
these gallant men to be brought in their
weeds before the public, through the
press and otherwise, in an unsought and
undesired rivalry for -property which
cannot establish the meritorious claims
of the officers, nor bring back to life the
loved and loving husbands. But one
out of the number of contestants can be
successful in a contest of this kind, and
what must be the feelings of those who
.shall have the seal of public condemna
tion set upon their heroic dead? Hu
man nature will not be true to itself,
nor true to the loved and lost, if it does
,not feel the bitter pang. More bitter
will be the sting with the thought that
a life of service and a grave of blood
may not procure exemption from a ri
valry and insult unsought and undeserv
ed. Rivalry of this kind, besides its
other objections, creates the impression
among strangers that the contest 13
sought, approved and enjoyed by the
respective widows of the contestants;
and how many may not imagine those
ladies as entering with zest into the
contest, exercising all the force of fe
male blandishments to secure a victory?
False though the impression would be,
it can and does exist, and thereby the
reputations of those honored ladies are
compromised or sacrificed to add a few
additional dollars to the fund of the
Fair. Are the results accomplished
worth the sacrifice? No one is compe
tent to judge of the respective merits of
the heroes in question, and the true
man could not find it in his heart to el
evate one at the expense of another.
There is still another matter. Partisan
pictures are allowed to disgrace' the
wans of the Fair, which, considering
that all parties and sects have entered into
this great charity with real, are a posi
tive insult to that party to which we be
long. Certainly insults enough have
been heaped upon the Democracy, by
the highest member of the Administra
tion down to its lowest adherent, with
out it becoming necessary to prostitute
the soldiers’ public charity to the base
use of selfish demagogues. Other places
and other- times have heretofore sufficed
for paid partisans to show rancor and
hate, but it seems now that they cannot
allow even one opportunity to pass—be
it within the charitable walls of a Sani
tary Fair or beneath the sacred fanes of
the church —to insult and override those
who hold to a difference of opinion.
Perhaps we may be saying too much
upon these topics. The management of
the Fair is a religious one—opposed to
raffling and the taking of chances —and,
it may be that, in the plenitude of toler
ation, they may have allowed some dis
crepancies and incongruities to creep in,
which, when brought to their notice,
they will speedily rectify. We cannot
believe that the “pious dodges”—design-,
ed to whip the devil round the stump”
—are of their contriving; or that they
would willingly tolerate charitable ap
peals to the baser passions of men. We
cannot accuse them of catering to the
’devil to serve God, and, therefore as
men of the church are unsuspecting,
liberal, and without guile, we merely
make these, suggestions by way of bring
ing to their notice abases not likely to
be-otherwise observed by them. We de-
sire to see the Fair . flourish as it de-
serves, We would have it be common
neutral ground upon which all parties,
sects, denominations and"nationalities
may meet in the common cause of hu-
manity; and, actuated by this spirit, we
mu-t condemn all that is likely to be
destructive of these ends.

THE POST—PITTSBURG:
TheTHmtai-y Bituatlon.
We take the following clear and com
prehensible exposition of the military
situation f »gMteJ|uladelphia Age :
Since statement', of yesterday
have received intelligence
of still more decidedmo vemen ts on Gen
eral Grant’s part; looking to the aban
donment of the Mechanicsville route to
Richmond.
0n Thursday the Federal army faced
south-west, the northern flank being
seven miles from Richmond, and resting
on the road to Mechamcsvillo ; the cen
tre at Coal Harbor, and the southern
flank thirteen miles from Richmond,near
the railroad from White House to the
Chickahominy. During Thursday night
and Friday morning Grant revolved.his
southern flank hack nearly five miles to
Bethesda Church. It rested a little
north of that place, and was about four
miles west of New Castle, on the Pa
munky. The Confederates followed it
closely, and there was much, skirmish
ing. On Saturday the Confederates
withdrew a short distance, and the flank
idvanced .about a half mile and there
e'sted. On Sunday there was no fight
ng, and no movements Are reported.
>u that day the Federal line was a north
nd south one, facing west. Smith was
i the centre, at Coal Harbor, twelve
i iles east-northeast of Richmond. War
■n was north of Smith, at Bethesda
liurrli. Burnside was north of War
-11, nil the extreme flank, and was four
id a half miles west of New Castle, on
e l’aumnky, and fourteen miles north
at ol Richmond. Wright was south
Smith and Hancock south of Wright,
the extreme southern flank, lie was
ar Despatch Station, on the White
Oise railroad, and thirteen miles from
elimond. The length of the line was
miles, and it was in all parts closely
nfronted by strong Confederate works.
Grant's headquarters were at Old
Tavern, three miles south of Bethesda
Church.
Of the reason of this retreat, the great
er part of which was made on Friday
morning, we have no official explana
tion. It appears to have been made hur
riedly and there are statements that
heavy guns were brought forward by the
enemy, which threw shells over the Fed
eral lines into the wagon trains beyond.
Even when the line, in its retrograde,
movement, reached Bethesda Church,
these guns were able to shell the head
quarter camps and the trains in the rear.
Beyond a statement of losses, Secretary
Stanton yesterday was very silent, and
to-day he has sent us nothing. The om
inous information that “movements i
were in progress,” accompanied his last
dispatch. The distance of the Federal
line from Richmond, on Sunday, and the
strengtli of the Confederate position, !
show a determination on Lee’s part not
to allow Grant to cross the Chickahomi
ny. No portion of the Federal force is
now within three miles of that stream, i
IST Our allusion in Wednesday’s Post
to Ocn. Grant's remark that “he in
tended to fight his way to Richmond on
the plan suggested by the Administra
tion even if it “took him all summer,”
the OazetU styles a "stupid fabrication, ”
and further remarks, “What he did say
was this I propose to fight it out on
this line if it takes all summer." We
accept the Gazette's correction with
pleasure, and then come back to the ori
ginal point which ia that Grant has
already abandoned the line in question,
and is now doing ■ the best he can by
adopting that of the brilliant though
maligned McClA.uk.
Suggestions for the Chicago Con
vention
For the Age.
Messrs. Editors of the Ape.-—As the
time is rapidly approaching for the
assembling of the Convention at Chi
cago, to nominate Democratic can
didates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, will you give to an humble
citizen, who fears God and loves his
whole country, space enough in your
valuable journal to make the following
suggestions touching the platform to be
laid down by the Convention?
Instead of long, complex sectional res
olutions, which will be read only to be
perverted, I respectfully suggest that the
Convention, in the fewest and plainest
words they can command, ask the peo
ple to elect their nominees to perform,
besides the ordinary duties of Adminis
tration, the few things following:
Ist, To stop this bloody war of subju
gation, and to suspend or repeal all acts
and proclamations of emancipation and
confiscation; but, instead of disbanding
our armies to withdraw them to a defen
sive line that shall be adequate to p’ro
tect the border States still in the Union
against all raids and invasions of the
rebel armies.
2d. To appoint Commissioners of
Peace to treat, not with the Confederate
Government, but with the constituted
authorities of the respective States that
have seceded, for the repeal by them of
their acts and ordinances of secession
and for thetr return to the Federal
Union, upon a solemn guaranty that all
their civil and political rights under the
Constitution of the United States shall
be secured to them, and be defended
against the Confederate Government
and all other assailants.
Bd. To maintain the blockade, and
all practicable restraints upon the exter
nal commerce of the seceded States un
til repeal of the ordinances of secession
but to relax these commercial restraints!
in behalf of each State, so soon as it re
peals secession.
4th. After full restoration of the sece
ded States has been effected, to urge all
the States of the Union to apply to Con
gress to cail a Convention of deputies
from each State, corresponding in num
bers to the Representatives in the two
Houses of Congress, to devise a plan for
the peaceful emancipation and coloniza
tion of the negro slaves of the "slave-hold
ing States, subject to the free consent
of said States, and to propose such
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States as said plan may require.
Here, Messrs. Editors, are my four
suggestions fur the consideration of the
Chicago Convention. I enter into no
expositions or arguments in behalf of
, these suggestions, but commend them to
j the capful consideration of every well
wisher of hi? country and hi? kind. If
I reasons and arguments do not present
themselves to the reader's mind, none
that I could urge would be likely to
weigh with him.
Bqt this I will say—that if the Con
vention will present men able and wil
ling to pursue the line of policy here in
dicated, the people will, if not despoiled
of their suffrages; most sorely elect them

Baltimore, June 8.
Mr. Raymond, of New York, from the
Committee on resolution, reported the
following:
Resolved, That it is the highest duty
of every American citizen to maintain
against all enemies the integrity of the
Union and the paramount authority of
the Constitution and laws of the United
States; and that laying aside all differ
ences of political opinion, pledge our
selves as Union men animated by a com
mon sentiment and aiming at a common
object to do everything in our power to
aid the Government in quelling by force
of arms the rebellion raging against its
authority, and in bringing to punish
ment due to their crimes the rebels and
traitors arrayed against it.
Resolved, That we approve of the de
termination of the Government of the
United States not to compromise with
the rebels or offer any terms of peace,
except such as may be based upon an un
conditional surrender of their hostilities,
and return to their just allegiance to the
Constitution and laws of the United
States, and that we call upon the Gov
ernment to maintain this position and
to prosecute the war with the utmost
possible vigor to the complete suppres
sion ot the rebellion, in full reliance
upon the self-sacrifice and the patriotism
heroic valor and undying devotion of
our people to their country and its free
institutions.
Resolved, That as slavery was the
cause and now constitutes the strength
ot this rebellion, and as it must he al
ways and everywhere hostile tot lie prin
ciples of republican government; ju.-tiee
and the national safety demand its ut
ter and complete extirpation from the
republic, (applause] and that we uphold
and maintain the acts and proclamation
by which the Government, in its own
defence, has aimed a death blow at this
gigantic evil we are in favor, further
more of such an amendment to the
Constitution to be made by the people
in conformity with its provision as shall
terminate and forever prohibit the exis
tence of slavery within the limits or
jurisdiction of the U. R. [Applause]
Resolved. That the thanks ot' Un-
American people are due in the soldiers
and sailors- of the army and navy, | Ap
plause, ] who have periled their lives in
defense of tlieir country uud in vindica
tion oftbc honor of the flag; that the
nation owes to them some permanent
recognition of their patriotism and their
valor and ample and permanent provis
ion for those of their survivors who re
ceived disabilities and honorable wounds
in the service, and that the memories of
those who have fallen in its defense shall
he held in grateful and everlasting re
membrance. [Loud Applause.)
Resolved, That we approve and ap
plaud the practical wisdom, the unselfish
patriotism, and unswerving fidelity to
the Constitution, and the privileges of
American liberty with which Abraham
Lincoln has discharged under circum
stances of unparalleled dillirulties, the
{Treat duties of the responsibilities of the
Presidential office; that we approve and
endorse as demanded by the emergence,
and essen ial to the preservation of the
Nation within the Constitution the meas
ure and acts which he has adopted to
defend the nation against open and secret
foes. That we approve especially the
Proclamation of Emancipation, and the
employment as Union Soldiers of man
heretofore held in slavery. [Applause, j
That we have full cenfidenee in his de
termination to carry these and all other
measures essential to the salvation of
the country into full and complete effect.
Resolved, That we deem \t essential to
the general welfare that harmony should
prevail in the National councils, and we
regard as worthy of public confidence
and official trust those only who cordial
ly endorse the principles proclaimed in
these views, ana which should character
ize the administration of the Govern
ment.
Resolved , That the Government owes
to all men employment iu its armies
without regard to distinction of color,
the full protection of the laws of war!
i Applause. ]
Resolved, That any violation of these
laws or of the usages of civilized na-
lions in the time of war by rebels now
in arms, should be made the subject of
full and prompt redress. [Prolonged
applause. J
Resolved, That the foreign emmigra
tion, which, in part, has added so much
to the wealth, development of resources
and increase of power to this nation,
this asylum of the oppressed of all na
tions, should be fostered and encourag
ed by a liberal and just policy.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the
speedy construction of the Railroad to
the Pacific.
Resolved, That the national faith
pledged for the redemption of the pub
lic debt must be kept inviolate, and that
for this purpose we recommend econo
my and rigid responsibility in the pub
lic expenditures and vigorous and just
system of taxation; and that it is the
duty of any loyal State to sustain credit
and promote the using of National cur
rency. [Applause.]
Resolved, That we approved the posi
tion taken by the Government that the
people of the United States can never
regard with inditi'erenee the attempt of
any European poper to overthrow by
force or supplant by fraud the institu
tions of any'Republican Government on
the Western Continent. [Prolonged
applause.] Ami that they will view
with extreme jealousy, as menaceing to
the peace and independence of this our
country, the etfort of any such Power
to obtain a foothold for u monarchist
government, sustained by a foreign mil
itary force, in year proximity to us.
[Applause.]
On motion of Mr. the re
port of the Committee on Resolutions
was adopted by acclamation,
The Shoddy Pow Wow. —Says the
Baltimore correspondent of the World %
in. relation to that mosaic gathering:
“The lions of the Convention will be
Uie delegates from the rebel
South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisi
ana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
Measures are on foot for a grand dem
onstration to be given in their honor,
which will probably take the forn ofu
banquet. The negro gentlemen from
South Carolina will of course participate
in this love-feast, on equal terms with
the rest. At the banquet Senator Sum
ner will preside. Fred Douglass (black
man) has been asked to be one of the
vice-presidents, and to respond to one
of the toasts. His reply lias rot yw
been received. But a distinguished col
ored gentleman of this city, who is quite
an oracle in his way, says Fred will
not be here at all, or at least will hare
nothing to do with the Convention.
*Dat ar niggard sa\ s the oracle, 'hah
no confidence in Mr. Lincum,’ a senti
ment that prevails universally here
among the colored element. 1 ’
The London Times again dwells on
the increasing difficulties and dangers
incurred by Grant thefurtherhe advances
and Lee falls back on his resources.
' j£ a< *? B . : —However the war may go in
! Virginia, it is perfectly clear that the
hold of the federals is loosening 'in the-
Southwest, and that even their great re
sources are insufficient for the permanent
occupation of a territory so vast as that
belonging to the confederacy?

ITEMS.
"The World enunciates a great truth
it asserts that “there cannevbr be
coufitry where every individual
a?? 8 not feel an invasion of the constitu
tional rights of another, an invasion of
his own.” ■
The London Globe announces thatthe
notorious rams built by the-] Messrs
Laird have been purchased by_
ish government. No particulars! are
given, but: the Globe congratulates the
Country upon this extrication froth an
acknowledged difficulty and the conse
quences of a possible adverse decision
at law.
Homespun.—A movement is, on; foot
which divides the attention with the
Baltimore convention—especially aihong
the loyal women—to change the badge
now worn by those patriotic anti-luxury
ladies, to one in which all the articles
used in its construction shall not tie of
foreign importation. It is barely possi
ble that the Baltimore platform Imay
j contain a stiff plank on this subject;
Abraham’s Guard. —A company of
the Ohio cavalry, commanded by Gapt
Bennett, of Scott’s 900, has been ap
pointed a body-guard to the President.
They are quartered on the grounds
south of the President’s hous% As; Na
poleon First and Third had their body
guard—Caesar and Cromwell had theirs
—all the European Monarehs have body
guards, why should not Mr. Lincoln
have his V — Ex. ;
More Charcoal.— Kelly, of Penn
sylvania, in his speech in Congress, thus
eulogized American citizens of African
descent : Mr. Speaker, the men otitliis
era of whom the poet will sing his high
est strains, the men whom the orator
will most, eulogize, the men in this gfand

i write his most glowing panegyrics,; are
j the negro soldiers of the royal ariny.
j The white man must stand back liere
after when the merit of this war isaiis
cn.-sed. lie is a failure.
The Baltimore Convention will lie a
highly flavored concern if all the dele
gates who are chosen to sit in it art al
lowed seats. In addition to the darkies
who will claim admittance from South
Carolina, there will also be a delegation
of negroes from Florida. These -last
were chosen at a meeting held in iSt.
John?, which was presided over by a
person named Snowball; who has Also
heck sent as a delegate. This may head
likes joke but it is a veritable fact, ijot-
withstanding the love of the shoddy
people for the negro, w e fear that if [the
Snowball .delegation is admmitted to
the convention and the weather should
prove warm, they will be crying,“Some
civet, good apothecary. ” — World. ■
i Abraham’s Pets. —Says the N. jV.
; Herald's Washington correspondent:
■‘Over a thousand contrabands arriv
ed here to-day from the White House,
and were sent to Colonel Green’s Freed
man s Colony. All the men able, to
work are emloyed in the Quartermas
ter’s Department. The colony is in a
most thriving condition, having thhee
thousand acres under a high state! oi
cultivation, and crops of wheat and rye
that promise a harvest valued at ten
thousand dollars.” This is how the ne
groes stay in the South, as we were told
they would by our Abolition friends.
I his is how they arc taken care of alnd
feasted on llu- lat oi the land while sol
diers families are suffering the pangs of
want—not to mention the'fact that prior
White Union refugees are daily starving
for food and perishing of hardships.
” Times Chance and We With
Them. "—lmagine a letter from Lincriln
to (.Irani, expostulating with him for

Annas ‘ Truly times have bravely alter

Losses of Officers. —We have lost;*
very large number of most valuable of.
fieers oi all grades in tbe present cam
paign. We refer not only lo general
olb nets, butt,, colonels, lieutenant-col
onels, majors, captains. The proportion
of officers who have fallen to tbe entire

oftbis has been tbe nature of tbe action!
They have been, to a great extent/hfthe

perienced and capable men is a very
heavy one to tbe army and to tbe coun

grandly done their whole duty, and have
well merited tbe plaudits and blessings
of their country. The leaders have
proved themselves worthy of tbe heroid
