The Platform of the Union Party.
The Union party, meeting in National
Convention, gives its combined sanction. and
an au; horative form, to its tenets. Its se
series of resolutions embrace nothing novel ;
they are but the reassertion of principles
which have already shaped the character
and policy of the Administration ; and yet
their clear and systematic statement, accred
ited by the unanimous assent of the party
in Convention assembled, is an important
act, which will pass into history.
The prime characteristic of the resolution.-,
is their thoroughness. Never before was
this exhibited in any National Convention
of any great party. Democratic, Whig, A
merican, Republican they all, in greater
or less degree, were subject to the necessity
of dealing largely in carefully qualified and
restricted language. In respect to the great
question of Slavery, the difference between
them was only a difference where the limita
tion should be made. The Republican plat
form, in which the line against Slavery was
drawn the farthest. yet exhibited special solic
tude in its framers to preserve intact the in
violability of Slaverv in the States. In fact,
the shaping of a political platform, so as
to supply a party with a destinctive and pe
culiar foothold, and at the same time not
disturb the conservative and compromising
spirit of the people, has always been a woik
of high art, requiring consummate political
experience and skill. Among the political
debris of the past can be found specimens of
party platform joinery, so exactly set and
fitted, that the mosaics turned up from
Pompeii are but mere botchwork in compar
ison As you go back to look at them, you
are almost lost in wonder that political craft
could have ever attained such nicety of
measurement- The present platform shows
nothing of the kind. Without a curve or
an indentation, or a dovetail, or any balan
cing or adjusting method of any sort, it
stands out in simple square outlines, every
plank and everv- line running straight through
from one end to the other, without break or
deviation.
Upon the matter of the rebellion, a reso
lution sets forth an unqualified determina
tion to accept of nothing short of uncondi
tional surrender. Upon the manner of
prosecuting the war, a resolution declares
for the utmost possible vigor. Upon Sla
very, a resolution demands its utter and
complete extirpation from the soil of the
Republic. Upon the policy of employing
negro soldiers, a resolution declares its ab
solute approval. Upon the question of pro
tecting these aoldiera. a resolution calls for
the full protection of the laws of war. Up
on the paramount authority of the Const i
tioa and laws of the United States, and the
necessity of bringing rebels and traitors to
due punishment, none but positive terms
are employed. Upon the Monroe doctrine,
the eucouragement of foreign immigration,
the maintenance of the national credit and
currency, the speedy construction of the Pa
cific Railroad, and every other important
point, the doctrine is thorough, and the
language explicit.
The great Union party is fortunate in be
ing thus able to plant itscv' upon a basis so
completely consistent with every loyal obli
gation, avery principle of justice and truth.
It has been enabled, by the irresis table
course of events, to get clear of the old
compromising and temporising necessities.
It has reachod the fullness of time where
political expediency and moral right com
pletely coincide, and where matured public
opinion is prepared to meet and steadily sup
port it. It can now set forth its great prin
ciples with the strongest emphasis, and keep
rigidly to their extreme logical consequences,
without danger of estranging from the war
any portion of the people who have any
heart in it at all. The very ra-licaliam of
thene resolutions, which two years ago would
have been a fatal reproach against them, is
now their most potent recommendation.
The Copperheads will have a very differ
ent task of it when they come to frame their
platform. Instead of a few consistent, sol
id, stable principles, they have got to join
together the most diverse and incongruous
dogmas and policies. Every sort of opin
ion respecting the right of making war up
on rebellion, respecting the expediency of
continuing the war, respecting the policy of
offering terms to the rebels and the kind of
terms that should be offered, respecting the
future treatment of Slavery, will have its
exponents iu the Chicago Convention. To !
assimilate t hese opinions will be impossible.

cannot be sustained by more than a traction !
of the party, and thus be a cause of party
division instead of party union. We don t
doubt that a vast deal of ingenuity will be
exercised to contrive a basis on which all
can make shift to stand, and quite likely it
may be accomplished. A common hatred
is always a strong stimulent to co-operation,
and all these varieties of Copperheads, if
they agree in nothing else, most certainly
are of one feeling against President Lincoln.
Perhaps they will all consent to resolutions
of any conceivable shape, that may afford a
chance, or something they can imagine to
be a chance, of defeating their common en
emy. We await with a good deal of curios
ity their action in this matter. Butitiscuri
osity nnmingled with the slightest appre
hension. Whether they unite or divide,
make one platform or a dozen, is all the
same. No earthly device can prevent the
vast majority of the people from pronoun
cing resolutely and decisively in favor of the
principles and the nominations just put
forth by the great loyal Convention r.t Bal
ance. That ratification by the people is
as sure as their natural spirit is indestructi
ble. So Then?
The New-York World, one of the recog
nized and leading organs of the so-ealled
Democratic party, and one which we pre
sume reflects the sontiments of its friends,
speaks of the nomination of Lincoln and
Johnson as follows :
' The only merit we can discover in this
'"Baltimore ticket is the merit of consisten
"ev it is all of a piece ; the tail does not
'shame the head, nor the head shame the
''tail. A rail-splitting buffoon and a boor-
" ish tailor, both from the backwoods, both
"growing up in uncooth ignorance, they
"would afford a grotesque subject for a sa
" tiric poet."
This sentiment is uttered by a paper pro
fessing to be democratic, and to hold the o
pinion that all white men, at least, are crea
ted equal. The World ridicules Lincoln
and Johnson because they commenced life
as a day laborer and a mechanic. The ex
tract we have quoted is a down-right insult
to every day-laborer and mechanic in the
land. The World "Democratic' though
it claims to be has a thorough contempt
for "hard fisted farmers" and "greasy me
chanics." and plainly shows that, even here
in the North, we have an element of aris
tocracy which hoots and sneers at the idea
of a laboring man becoming a statesman
ao aristocracy which, if it possessed the
power, would allow none but kid-glove gen
try to hold an office or manage the affairs of
government. But we presume that this
languagp, gross and brutal and disrespectful
as it is, will meet with the contempt of all
laboring men throughout the country, and
that all attempts to establish an aristocracy
resting on labor, whether by Southern trai
tors or Northern copperheads, will meet a
just condemnation at the hands of all honest
and intelligent and hard-working men, who
are looked upon and considered as mere
"buffoons and boorish, uncooth, ignorant,
"poor white trash'" by these would be a
ristocratic gentlemen.
On the South Side of the James.
The reports of the last week that Grant
was continuing his movement by the left
flank to the James river, were well ground
ed. The movement has been made nearly
without loss or serious conflict, and the
James river was crossed without opposi
tion. This fact proves that Grant was
"uia.ter of the position." McClhllan
was crused down to the bank of the James,
after seven days' of fighting, with great loss,
thus closing his campaign iu indiscribable
disaster and gloom. Broken in spirit and
defeated in its grand undertaking, his army
was little better than a wretched mob on the
defensive, its chief security being in its close
proximity to the Navy. There is no shade
of similarity as to Grant and McClel
lan on the James. The hopes and confi
dence of the Nation are with Grant. Mc
Clelkn had neither he had forfeited both,
and there was nothing left for him but to
gather up the fragments of his army as best
he could. On the contrary, Grant is boldly
on the aggressive, and the nation, because
of the skill and ability shown during thy
campaign, is confident that he will sueceedn
All the chances and the attitudes of the two
campaigns are radically diverse. It is on
these facts that the confidence which every
body feels, is based. The rebels think they
detect the strategy of Vicksburg in the
movements of Grant. The discovery does
credit to their sagacitity and aptness for
learning in a severe school. We think the
country will detect
rn m fir, at o , C t : r-
uivuii'.omu'juo l U
game clear, tenacious mind, the same un
conquerable will and matchless skill in the
present movement, which one year ago were
so conspicuous in the investment and siege
of Vicksburg. With this view of the case,
we can forego simulation. We are firm in
the belief that already has commenced the
grand, and, we trust, the final stage of the
campaign.
Andrew Johnson's Position.
Andrew Johnson delivered a most ex
cellent speech at a great Vniou mass meeting
held in Nashville on Friday night a-week in
which he said that he would accept the
nomination for the Vice Presidency tender
ed him by the Baltimore Convention. He
denouueed the Rebellion in unmeasured
terms, and enunciated sentiments in entire
sire that all men shall have a fair chance
and an equal start in the race of life, and let
him succeed who has the most merit. Tlis.
I think, is a principle of heaven. 1 am fori
emancipation for two reasons: first, because
it is right in itself, and second, because in
the emancipation of the slaves we break
down an odious and dangerous aristocracy. '
In speaking of reconstruction he said :
' Why all this carnage and devastation ? It
was that treason might be put down and
traitors punished. Therefore I say that
traitors should take a back scat in the uork
of restoration. Jf there be but Jive thou
sand men in Tennessee, loyal to the constitu
tion, loyal to freedom, loyal to justice, these
true and faithful men .should control the
Work of r--organization, and reformation ab
solutely.'' Concerning the Monroe Doc
trine, he was eouallv explicit. "The na-
I tinns of Europe are anxious for our over-
throw. France takes advantage of our in-
ternal difficulties and sends Maximilian off
to Mexico to set up a monarchy on our bor
j ders. The day of reckoning is approaching.
The time is not far distant when the rebol
: lion will be put down, and then we will at
! tend to this. Mexican affair, and say to Louis
Napoleon, 'Youjan set up no monarchy
on this continent.' " His speech was a
j master!; and patriotic effort, and shows that
the Union party has put its faith in n man
of the right stamp.
A Little Plain Truth.
I In a letter from a rebel officer to (lenenil
! Pagan, in Dick Taylor's army, we find the
: following acknowledgement of the deliberate
murder of colored troops, and also the mur
der of white troops, while they were raising
i the white flag. All this by our "beloved
' Southern brothers :"
After Steele reached Camden he sent out a
large forage train, guarded by a heavy force.
We fell upon this train, captured his artil
lery, all the wagons, and killed the last ne
gro soldier with this train. The Yankees
had a full negro regiment, and the Choctaw
Indians fell upon them and killed every one.
After driving Steele into Camden, Iron. Fa
iran started with :,r0 for Little Rock, but
fell in with the enemy at Mark's Mill. where
' we had a terrible fight. ( )ur arms were fi
! nally victorious, and we succeeded in cap
turing alout I.aOQ prisoners and hve pieces
of artillery. It was a complete rout, and
though the enemy endeavored to raise the
white Mag. but few of them escaped.
Mr. C. L. Yallandigham has returned
from Dixie via Canada to Ohio, and been
chosen a delegate to the Chicago Conven
tion. We regret to see some Administra
tion journals urge his re-arrest and rebanish
ment. We hope not He is a blind parti
san of McClellan. and is needed at Chicago
to prevent the nomination of a fighting Gen
eral who believes in the War for the Union.
Better let him alone. He will do good here.
His running for Governor last vear was
worth fifty thousand votes to the Unionists
of Ohio. Can't we get him on the Copper
head ticket as Yice President ? A. Y. Tri
bune. Mr. Yallandigham's return to Ohio was
on hi own responsibility. It is not known
what, if any, executive action will be taken
concerning him.
-
When General Grant set out ou the p
aign in Ayginia. he was accompanied
:am-
paign in innma. he was accompanied hv
an immense artillery force : so great, indeed.
as to be a subject of surprise among milita
ry men. A large portion of this force con
sisted of reserve artillery. He has recently
effected an organization in this branch of the
service, and. with a view to increase its mo
bility, has reduced the number of pieces to
four instead of six in each battery. The
nuuiler of caissons has been increased, and
the large reserve artillery has been consoli
dated with the regular batteries. By these
means he is enabled to carry a larger supply
of ammunition, and otherwise render his
pieces more effective in action.
The X. Y. World (Cop. ) lays Little Mac
on the shelf. It says he is too young to run
for President and is identified with doctrines
that are utterly repugnant to the radical de
mocracy. The World further says that
"Gen. Grant won't do." audadds that "the
Iemocratic party has no man who will do
for a carllate. ' ' The World thinks the on
ly chance for "the party' is to get up behind
the-Cleaveland folks, and endeavor to run
the political blockade astride of the " Wool
ly Worse.''
A Correspondent of the New York Times
suggests thtiu- original of the Cleaveland
Conventiowwil be found in Samuel,
xxii chapter, 2d verse, as follows :
"And every one that was in distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every one
that waadiscontentcd, gathered themselves

day-light yesterday morning, and, after an
hour's hard fighting, completely routod him
killing 900, wounding nearly as many more,
and capturing nearly 400 prisoners, besides
recapturing nearly all ot Gen. Hobson's
command, and over I.ihm) horses. Our loss
in killed and wounded is about 150. Mor

Washington, Junel5 7 a. m. To Mai
tit n. Di.r.Xrie York. The movement of the
Army off the Potomac to the south side of
Richmond, across the Chickahominy river
and James river, has progressed far enough
to admit the publication of some general
facts without danger of premature disclos
ure. Af ter several days preliminary prepa
rations the movemeut commenced on Sun
day night. The ISth army corps, numder
command of Gen. Smith, marched to White
board House and there embarked or
of transports for Bermuda Landing.
Wright's corps and Burnside s moved to
Jones' Bridge, where they crossed the Chick
ahominy and marched thence to Charles
city, on the James river. Hancock's and
Warren's corps crossed the Chickahomi
ny at Long Bridge and marched thence to
Wilcox's, on the James river. The James
river was crossed by the aimy at Powhattan
Point. A dispatch from Gen. Grant dated
Monday evening, half-past five o'clock, at
head-quarters. Wilcox's Landing.states that
the advance of our troops had reached that
place, and would commence crossing the
James river to-morrow, (Tuesday. ) and that
Gen. Smith's corpswould commence arriving
at City Point that night ; that no fighting
was reported during the movement except
a little skirmishing. Yesterday (Tuesday)
at one o'clock, p. m.. (Jen. (Irant was at
Burin uda Landing. In a dispatch from him
dated : o'clock of that date, he says : Our
force will commence crossinir James river
to-day. The enemy show no signs yet hav
ing brought troops to the south side of Rich
mond. Our movement from Cold Harbor
to the James river has Veen made with
great celerity, and so far without loss or ac
cident. An unofficial dispatch, dated at
(ten. Butler's headquarters. 2.20 V. M. .
Tuesday, says that Gen. Smith's corps was
coming in, five thousand having already
landed.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman's head
quarters, dated at '1 o'clock yesterday after
noon, near Kene-aw. state that the Gen
eral is in front, advancing his lines on Ken
esaw. Another unofficial dispatch, dated at
9 o clock Last night, report some advance
to-day that Thomas has gained grouud,
and that one rebel brigade is nearly sur
rounded, It further reports that the rebel
General Polk was killed to-day and his body
sent to Marietta. In another part of Gen
eral Sherman..- East Mississippi division,
our forces have not met with t he success
that has heretofore attended competent

our loss in killed and wounded was heavy,
our forces were worsted. That at the latest
accounts Sturgis w;is at Colliersville. retreat

that with the troops that had lately
arrived Memphis is safe.
Gen. Sherman, having received the news
of Sturgis' defeat, reports that he has al
ready made arrangements to repair Sturgis'
disaster, and placed Gen. A. .1. Smith in
in command, who will resume the offensive
immediately. No other military intelli

department :
Cm' Point, June 1 5. via
Jamestown Island, June 16-5.30 a. n )
Smith with fifteen thousand ( 1 5,000 ' men.
attacked Petersburg this morning. Gen.
Butler reports trim his observatory near
Bermuda Hundred, that there has beeu
sharp fighting that the troops and trains
of the enemy were, as he writes, moving a
across the Appomatox as if retreating.
Hancock is not near enough to render Smith
any aid. The Richmond papers have noth
ing to indicate a suspicion of our crossing
the James river. They expect to be attack
ed from the direction of Malvern Hill.

latest reports from Smith was at 4.04 p. m.
He had carried a line of entrenchments
at Beatty's House the colored troop as
saulting and carrying the rifle-pits with
great gallautry. but he had not yet carried
the main line. He expected to assault this
line just before dark. Hancock is within

At 7 20 P. m. yesterday Smith assaulted
and carried the principal line of the enemy
before Petersburg, taking 13 cannon, sever
al stand of colors and between three and four
thousand prisoners. This line is two miles
from Petersburg. Hancock got up and
took position on Smith's left at 3 A. M. to
day. There was heavy firing in that direc
tion from 5 to 6. No reports have been re
ceived yet.

P. M. After sending my dispatch of this
morning from the heigths southwest of Pe
tersburg, I went over the conquered lines
with General Grant and the engineer offi
cers. The works are of the very strongest
kind, more difficult even to take than was
Mission Ridge. The hardest fighting was
by the black troops. The forts they storm -
ed were, 1 think, the first of all taken. Af
ter the affair was over. Gen. Smith went to
thank them, and tdl them he was proud of
their courage aud dash. He says they can
DOt be exceeded as soldiers, and that, here
after, he will send them in as difficult places
as the lest white troops. They captured
.six out of eighteen cannon, which we took.

there this morning, however, and to be
making preparations to hold the west side

our guns.

I came down from the Pontoon above Pow

to me that Petersburg was at our mercy.
Nothing of recent dates has been heard trom

Stating that Sheridan had been routed in an
engagement with Fits Lee Hampton, losing
500 pnsoi ers and leaving bis dean ana

Washington, Juno 18 10 p. u. 7b
Major- General Dix, Xeic York: The fol
lowing dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated yes
terday at 11 o clock A. m., at City Point has
been received by this department. The
Ninth corps this morning carried two re
doubts forming a part of the defences of
Petersburg, capturing 45o prisoners and
four guns. Our successes are being follow
ed up our forces drew out from within tit
ty yards of the entrenchments at Cold Har
bor, made a flank movement, average of a
bout fifty miles march, crossing the Chicka
hominy and James river, the latter being '2, -000
feet wide aud 84 teet deep at the point
of crossing and surprised the enemy's rear
at Petersburg. This was done without the
loss of a wagon or piece of artillery, and on
ly about one hundred and fifty stragglers
were picked up by the enemy. In covering
this move. Warren's Corps and Wilson's
cavalry had frequent skirmishing with the
enemy, each having from fifty to sixty killed
and wounded, but inflicting an equal" if not
greater loss on the enemy. The Eighteenth
corps, Smith's were transferred from White
House to Bermuda Hundred by water. It
moved out near to Petersburg in the night,
jand captured the very strong works north
east of Petersburg before imffcrirnl force
could lx? got in them by the enemy to hold
them. He was joined the night following
this capture by the second corps, which in
turn captured more of the enemy'-; redoubts
further south, and this corps w as followed
by the Ninth with the result above stated.
All the troops are now up except two divis
ions covering the wagon trains, and they
will be up to-night. The enemy in their
endeavor to reinforce Petersburg, abandon
ed their intrenehmeatw in front of Rermuda
Hundred. They no doubt expected troops
from the north side of James river to take
their places before they were discovered.
Butler took advantage of this and moved a
force at once upon the railroad and plank
road between Riehmond and Petersburg,
which 1 hope to retain possession of. Too
much credit cannot lie given the troops and
their commander for the eneergy and forti
tude displayed during the last fhre days.
Day and night has been all the same, no de
lays Iteiug allowed on any account. Later
unofficial dispatches show that at eight o'
clock this morning the enemy still occupied
Petersburg. Major Morton was killed in an
assault yesterday. Nothing has been receiv
ed to-day from Sherman or Hunter.

Gen. Sheridan's raid has been successful
so far. He gained a victory over the rebels
at Treviliian Station and destroyed a por
tion of the Virginia Central Railroad had
a fight near GordonsviUe, but finding the
enemy to be heavily reinforced by infantry
withdrew after a severe contest having cap
tured 20 officets, 5i ii) men, and 3000 horses.
The latest news from (J rant's army is.
that his whole force is South of the James
river, and opperating against Petersburg
SeVeraJ heavy fights have taken place, in
which our troops took a number of fortifica
tions, 30 pieces of canon, ant several thou
sand prisoners. Prom indications it is in
ferred that the whole rf Lee's army is in
front of Grant at Petersburg. Much heavy
fighting will no doubt take place, but the
utmost confidence i.- felt in Grant's ability to
defeat the rebel army.
