BELL AND EVERETT PLATFORM.

Whereas experience has demonstrated that
platforms adopted by the partisan Conventions
Of the country have had the effect to mislead
and deceive the people, and at the same time
to widen the political divisions of the country,
by the creation and encouragement OF geograph-
ical and sectional parties therefore,
Resolved That it is both the part of patriot
ism and of duty to recognise no political prin-
ciple other than the Constitution of the country,
the union of the States, and the enforcement
of the laws and that as representatives Of the
Constitutional Union men of the country, in
National Convention assembled, we hereby
pledge ourselves to maintain, protect, and de-
lend, separately and untedly, these great prin-
ciples Of public liberty and national safety
against all enemies, at home and abroad, be-
lieving thereby peace may once more be re-
stored to the country, the just rights of the
people and of the States re-established and the
Government again placed in that condition of
justice, fraternity, and equality, which, under
the example and Constitution of our fathers,
has soleinnly bound every citizen of the United
States to maintain a more perfect union, estab
lsh justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro.
vide for the common defence, promote the gen.
eral welfare, and secure the blessings of liber.
ty to ourselves and our posterity.

pro,nectu, a. aha National Republioan,

Behaving that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press Of the
National Metropolis, we have embarked in the
enterprise Of supplying the citizens Of the District
of Columbia with daily publication, under the
title of the" NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,"
In its political department. this journal will
advocate and defend the principles Of the Repub-
lican party, and endeavor to disabuse the public
mind Of groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against 1t, by the false accusations
Of its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield 1t q cordial, but not servile support. In
the great Issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies of the Republican
party, the people Of Washington and the District
of Columbia have more at stake than the people
Of any other portion Of our common country. We
believe that TO support Mr. Lincoln's administra-
tion will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
ations of those who would rend it asunder No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people Of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that 1t is fairly forced upon them
We feel confident therefore, that in yielding to
the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln cordial sup
port we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority of the people of this District and vicin
ity. ,
It Is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium Of general and local
news II shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions Of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity of the city, and to the advance
ment Of the moral and material welfare of its
inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper viii. Immediately make
Its appearance, and will then speak for itself.

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.

Resolred, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby de.
clare our afhrmance of the resolutions unani.
mously adopted and declared as platform of
principles by the Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati, in the year 1856, believing that
Democratic principles are interchangeable in
their nature, when applied to the same subject
matter; and we recommend as the only further
resolutions the following:
ResOlred, That it is the duty of the United
States to afford ample and complete protection
to all its citizens, whether at home or abroad,
and whether native or foreign.
Resoiued, That one Of the necessities of the
age, in a military commercial, and postal
point of view, is speedy communication be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific States and
the Democratic party pledge such constitution
al government aid as will insure the construc-
ton of a railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
ReSOired, That the Democratic party are in
favor of the acquisition Of the island Of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to our
selves and just to Spain.
Resolved, That the enactment of State Leg
islatures TO defeat the faithful execution of the
fugitive slave law are hostile in character, sub
versive of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
ReSolred, That in accordance with the in.
depreciation of the Cincinnati platform, that
during the existence of the Territorial Govern
ments, the measure of restriction, whatever il
may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution
on the power OF the Territorial Legislature
over the subject Of the domestic relations, as
the same has been, or shall hereafter be, finally
determined by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, should be respected by all good
citizens, and enforced with promptness and
fidelity by every branch of the General Gov
ernment

M spbmission to the disunionists is to he made.
A conflict there cannot be long postponed, and
with arms furnished in season, the East Ten.
resseans will take good care Of themselves.
Their local position, commanding the railroad
routes between Memphis and Charleston, and
between the Southwest and Virginia, will give
tue greatest mil'tory importance to their strug-
gle. They will be assisted in it, before long,
with men, as we'll as with arms, although 1t is
only for the latter that they now call. Letters
ss late as June &c, from Union men Of East
Tennessee, express the belief that they can
raise twenty. five thousand soldiers among them

COLONEL CURTIs's LETTER.

COLONEL CURTISS LETTER.
The following letter from Colonel Curtis, which
we copy from the st. Joseph (Missouri) Journal,
illustrates the forbearance towards the erring,
with which this war is being carried on by the
national troops: -
CAMP LYON, NEAR CRY ST. JOSEPH,
June 81, 1861.
Aessrs. Austin A. King and others:
GENTLEMEN: Your note of the 18th has been
received, and embrace the very first leisure
moment to reply thereto. In regard to nay mis-
sion here, have to say that am sent here by
my Government and your Government to sup
port and sustain the supremacy of the Consti
tuition and laws of our common Government,
the United States of America. Extraordinary
efforts have been made TO induce our people 10
embark in foolish and wicked assault on the
Government and laws that protect them. Men
are enrolled, mustered, and in arms against
their own country, and therefore against the
peace of society, and my orders and purpose are
to suppress these unnatural belligerents by mil
itary force. So far from disturbing peacesbe
law.sbiding citizens, it is my desire to protect
and shield them from insult, anarchy, and op.
preston. But those who are in arms or aiding
uiELiukt ouu ChSOuioSihs oCSCooiou uuu
civil war, regard as enemies Of our country,
and they will be pursued with all calamities of
civilized warfare.
1t is difficult to distinguish between those
who enrolled under former laws with no view
of rebellion and those who are recently enrolled
with the avowed purpose Of CO operating with
secession armies, but will, of course, endeavor
to guard the innocent men when found asso
catsd with rebels, if they promptly take the oath
ofallegiance, and Immediately and publicly with
draw from such associations. While it is my
painful duty to carry forward the aims and EN-.
blems OF national power against persons we
have before regarded as citizens and friends, l
will rejoice to see them surrender their arms,
return to their allegiance, and unite with US in
sustaining flag that our fathers unfurled, our
country maintains, and the world continues to
respect and honor.
hope we of this generation may be equal TO
the occasion, and transmit the blessings of lib.
erty 10 succeeding generations.
Uniting with you in sympathy with those who
innocently suffer from the accidents and havoc
of war, am, very truly and respectfully, your
obedent servant,

GENERAL McCLELLAN's FoRoE-On the 4tb

1t still seems to be the impression Of the
writer's from the vicinity Of Genera! Patterson's s
army, that junction with that army is the iu
mediate object of General Mcclellan. There
is nothing which indicates that, either in Gen.
eral McClellan's movements, Or in the probabi!.
tiles of the case. There will be final junction
of the two armies but, for the present, General
Patterson has an overwhelming numerical su.
periority over the enemy opposed to him, while
Western Virginia needs General McClellan's
attention, to clear it of the considerable hostile
forces which are expressing and robbiDg the
inhabitants. 1t is the liberation of Western
Virginia, and not the reinforcement of General
Patterson, which is the first duty of General
Mcclellan, and his attacks upon the enemy at
Philippa and Buckbannon prove that be means
