Owe have ever held party subordinate
to principle and to the interests of the
country. At time when the Union might
have been preserved, and civil war averted
by just compromise and concession, we
cheerfully offered TO abandon our party
organization and yield the lead and control
in that patriotic effort entirely to the Re-
publican party, and leave that party in the
undisturbed possession of the honors and
spoiIs Of their victory; the only response
to this offer was, "No compromise with
slavery stand by the platform and let the
Union slide :" Since this war has been
forced upon US, we have been willing to
ignore party and stand by the President
in all constitutional efforts to defend the
government. Beyond this we cannot 60.
We cannot abandon our own principles,
nor adopt those of the party in power,
and that party has not yet shown the least

and the purposes Of the war declared to be

"Burying Party"

Col. JOHN c. WALKER, of Indiana,
makes An expose in the State Sentinel of
the double>dealng of Gov. MORTON, of that
State, in regard to a cavalry regiment
proposed to be raised by Col. w. GonDos
TANNER, and others. The Governor gave
these gentlemen to understand thu regi:
ment would be accepted, but the pressure
of the leaders of his party became so
strong that he concluded to falsify his
word, and after the style of another Re.
publican dignitary, he allowed lie "to
be twisted cut Of him." The gentlemen
at the head of the regiment were Demo-
Gratis. Probably this was sufficient to
exclude them.
The Waukesha Constitutional Guards,
a full company of Union Democrats, and
composed of the most respectable citizens
of that county, rendered their services to
Gov. RANDALL some weeks since, but be-
cause some Of its members in years gone
by, would not sustain the Governor in his
politics, he coolly informs them that he
is afraid of their patriotism to their coun>
try, and will not accept their voluntary Of
fer. And yet these men are asked to bury
their politics in the earth, and bow down
to the behests of party who would never
fail in pro,cribing them at every opportu-
nity

Trouble in Missouri.

Gov. JACKSON, of Missouri, has raised
the standard of rebellion in that State, bv
issuing proclamation calling for $4,000
State troops 20 drive the Federal army out
of the State. He concludes as follows
4" 1t is my duty to advise you that you
are under no obligation whatever to obey
the unconstitutional edicts of military
despotism, which has enthroned itself at
Washington, nor to submit 70 the infa.
nous and degrading sway Of its wicked
mlnions il this State. No brave or true
Missourian will obey the one or submit to
the other. Rise, then, and drive out igno-
miniousl y the invaders who have dared to
desecrate the soil which your labor has
made fruitful, and which is consecrated by
your homes.'
BY news in another column, it will be
seen that his proclamation has caused
great excitement, and that there is fair
chance of Missouri being bloody battle
field before long. Gov. JACKSON and his
followers have left the Capital of the State,
and U. S. troops have taken possession of
it. Thus we have civil war in a State not
yet seeded Where and when will this
trouble ceasei

Secessionists Evacuate Harper's Ferry

Fredericksburg, Nd June l3.
1t is reported that the bridge across the
Potomac, at Harper's Ferry, was blown up
between and o'clock this morning, and
entirely destroyed. The explosion was
distinctly heard and the smoke of the bur
ming structure seen by parties here.
1t is also reported that all the troops
have been withdrawn from the Maryland
shore, and the town Of Harper's Ferry has
been evacuated by the great body of the
secession troops recently there. A small
force is yet there, probably the rear guard
Of the retiring army.
Frederick. June IA.
The special agent of the associated press
has jast returned from Maryland heights,
overlooking Harper's Ferry, which point
he left after 7 O'Clock this evening.
The Confederate army had mainly left
the place, only about 900 remaining.
The route OF the main body was BY the
Turnpike leading to Charleston and Shep-
ardstown, but their precise destination is
not known.
The work of demolition is nearly com
plete. The bridge is entirely destroy ed,
ard also the telegraph lines and the rifle
factory. No government property re-
mains, except the officers houses on the
hills back Of the town. Only two out of
the twenty armory buildings are saved.
The loss to the United States govern
ment is nearly 100000 and to the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad nearly as much.
Washington, June II.
The evacuation of IIsrper's Ferry and
destruction of bridges across the Potion &C,
by the rebels, is confirmed by advices Of
the War Department. 1t is believed that
they will attempt to stand at Winchester
after being reinforced by strong column
which is reported to have moved north
from Manassas Junction last night.
Sandy Hook, Nd, June Is.
Accounts are conflicting from Harper 5
Ferry, some saying that the troops have
all left, and others that larger force is at
Bolivar and in the outskirts.
