The platform adopted by the Union Na tional Convention is a frank statement of the principles upon which theUnion ]>ar- ! ty rests its claims to the confidence of the j people. There is no duplicity about it, no evasion of real issues, and not the slight- i • e«t appeal in a single line to party preju ;!H||ce or party malevolence. It is a manly | -'Jjtte'-ance of the views of the Union party j Tmfcon the great questions of the day.and sof the ends it seeks to attain. Its fea- j 'Jhlres maybe briefly summed up thus:! \jTlie assertion of the belief that it is the ! Pnighost duty of the American citizen to j mantain the integrity of theUnion, api p,. probation of the efforts of the Govern- j went to compel! rebellious citizens tore- \ .•gtiirn to their just allegiance to the Consti- ! Station and laws of the United States; j •approbation. also, of the acts and procla- i B* inatiou by which the Government in its •'iwn defense has aimed a death blow at sla | verv. the euu.se and strength of the Re bellion . a declaration in favor of the ab- I olition of slavery by constitutional amend ments; th inks to our brave soldiers and '' sailors , indorsement of the policy of cm ploying soldiers to assist in saving i the Union: au assertion of the duty of I thf t •meiit give to those soldiers: L f h«' fad i t ii of the laws of war; •be •- IT i • .i , encouragement of for- ' ' 11 '• lu -peeily construction ft ■ -the Pacific; the keeping! inv; UMIU t |, e il: ,[ fmth. pledgeil I fir t lie i- uii <n if rbe public debt, and the re-c ion it the Monroe Doctrine, lo wh oil ...I mi expression of eon fi etr-e n !i J'res detit. aud of the ne cessity of li.i.*uimy hi the national eouu oiis. The questiou of reconstruction was not reforrc 1 to. That is a question which • can only be viewed properly in the light of event to oecnr hereafter.and the Con vention was not composed of prophets. i he platform is one that will command <he hearty approval ami earnest support of all true friends of the Union. It is a war platform, aud war candidates have boon placed upon it. Abraham Lincoln And Andrew Johnstou representee party that is in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war until the Union is restored and ajl who are not for them are practically against that consummation. Practically, we say, for any and all opposing to the plcction of the candidates above mention ed is calculatad in the nature of things to encourage the South to continue its ef forts to desrtoy the Union, and to assist (D transferring the Government to those i ! who, if they were in power, would patch up a dishonorable compromise *ith trait ore to-morrow. i And here we will be pardoned for im pressing upon our loyal readers the neces sity of taking positive ground at once in favor of the election of Lincoln and John son. Let no false sentimentalism. no fac tious spirit, no party prejudices begotten before the war, lead you to withhold from them your best efforts to secure their suc cess. Above all things, do not suffer yourselves to be deluded with the notion that, if they are not elected, the country will be just as safe and the war as vigor ously conducted if cither of the opposi tion tickets is successful. Be sure that,if Lincoln and Johnston are defeated Euro i pean governments and the South itself j will regard the result, no Dat'f * ... j !hf e / r ,%,y. as a condemnation of the war in suppoit of the Union. We dare not run that risk, if tec would crush out trea son and preserve from destruction the last hope of all who are in favor of the right of the people to govern themselves.—Pitt. Gazette. Mr. Raymond of New York, from the Committee on Resolutions, imported the fol lowing: Resolved, That it is the duty of every American citizen to maintain against all enemies the integrity of the Union and the paramount authority of the Constitu tion of the United States, and thjpnaying aside all differences of politi eafopinion, pledge ourselves as Union men animated by a common object to do every thing is our power to aid the Gov ernment in quelling by force of arms the rebellion raging against its authority, and in hringing to punishment due to their crimes the rebels aud traitors ar | rayed against it. I 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 I HUCII as may be based upon an uncondi tional surrender of their hostilities, and return to their just allegiance to the Con stitution. and laws of the United States, and that we call upon the (iovernment to maintain this position and to prosecute | the war with the utmost possible vigor to j the complete suppression of the rebellion, i 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 of this rebellion, and as it must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of re publican government; justice and the na tional safety demand its utter and com plete extirpation from the republic, [ap plause] and that we uphold and maintain J the acts and proclamation by which the | iiovernnient, in its own defence, has aim | cd a death blow at this gigantic evil we arc j in favor, futhcriiioro, of such an amend i nient to the Constitution to be made by the people in conformity with its provis ion as shall terminate and forever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limits or jurisdiction of the United States. [Ap plause]. Resolved. That the thanks of the Amer ican people are due to the soldiers and sailors of thenrmy and navy,(Applause,) who have periled their lives in defense of their country and in vindication of the honor of the flag; that the nation owes to them some permanent recognition of their patriotism and their valor and am ple and permanent provision for those of their survivors who received disabilities and honorable wounds in the service, and that the memories of those who have fal len in its defense shall be held in grcat ful and everlasting remembrance [Loud applause.] Risolved, That we approve and applaud the practical wisdom, the unselfish patriot ism, and unswerving fidelity to the Con stitution, and the privileges of American liberty with which Abraham Lincoln lias discharged under circumstances of un parallelled difficulties, the great duties of the responsibilities of the Presidential of fice ; that we approve and endorse as de j mantled by the emergency, and essential i to the preservation of the Nation within I the Constitution the measures and acts j which lie has adopted to defend the na tion against open and secret foes. That ! we approve especially the Proclamation of | Emancipation, anil the employment as Union soldiers of men heretofore held in slavery. [Applause.] That we have full j confidence in his determination to carry J these and all other measures essential to j the salvation of the country into full and ! complete effect. Resolved , That wo deem it essential to the general welfare that harmony should j prevail in the National councils, and we regard as worthy of public confidence and official trust those only who cordially en dorse the principles proclaimed in these views, and which should characterize the administration of the Government. I Resolved, That the Government owes to all men employed in its armies with- I out regard to distinction of color, the j full protection of the laws of war [Ap | plause.] | Resolved, That any violation of these j laws or of the usages of civilized nations | in the t'uiejof war by rebels now in arms, ! should be made the subject of full and j prompt redress. [Prolonged applause.] j Ri -o/ved. That the fo.cign immigra j tion. which, in part, has added so much to the wealth development resources and increase of power to this nation, this asylum of the oppremi of all'nations should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. Resolved*, That we are in favor of the speedy construction ofthc Railroad to the Pacific. R< olced, That the national faith pledg ed for the redemption of the public debt must be kept inviolate, and that for this purpose wo recommend economy and rigid responsibility in the public expen ditures and a vigorous and just system of taxation ; and that it is the duty of every loyal State to sustain credit and promote the using of National currency. (Ap plause.) Resolved, That we approve the posi tion taken by tho Government that the people of the United States can never re gard with indifference the attempt of any European power to overthrow by force or supplant by fraud tho institution of any Republican Government on the West ern continent. [Prolonged applause-] And that they will view with extreme jealousy, as menacing to the peace and independence of this our country, the ef fort of any such power to obtain a foot hold for a {monarchical government, sus tained by a foreign military force, near proximity to us. [Applause] On motion of Mr. Bushnell.the report of the Committee on Resolutions was adopted by acclamation. MEWS BY TELEGRAPH. LEXINGTON, KY., June 13.—Captain Dickson telcgraps to Gen.

Subscribers to Ibis loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the accrued Interest in coin—(or in United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premium.) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and depoelt. As these Bonds arc Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation, their value Is Increased from one to three percent, per an nuin, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. At the present rato of premium on gold they pay Over Klgtit Per Cent Interest in currency, and are of equal convenience as a perma nent or temporary Investment. It ia believed that no securities offer so great induce ments to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of Indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separata communi ties only la pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States tho whole property of the country is holden to secure the payment of both principal and In terest In coin: These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from SSO pto any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can be converted Into money at any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the Interest. It may be useful to state lu this connection that the total Funded Debt of the United States on which inter est is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, 1804, was $768,966,000. The interest on this debt for the coming flcal year will b054.'»,93?,120, while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending Juno 80th, 1864, lias been so far at a rate of over $100,000,000 per annum. It will bdTeen that even the present gold rovenues of the Government are largely in oxccss of the wants of the Treasurer for the payment of gold interest, while the re cent increaso of the tariff will doubtless raise tbc annual receipts from customs on the wiine amount of importa tions, to $150,000,000 per annum.
