THE NATIONAL PLATFORM.

Congress, by vote nearly unanimous,
passed the following resolution declaring
the Origin and Object of the war. 1t
was introduced in the House, by Hon.
j. J. Crittenden, of KY, and in the
Senate, by Hon. Andy johnson, of Tenn
"7hat tAt present deplorable c.vH mar
has been forced upon the country by the
Disnnioaists Of the Southern States, now
in arms against the Constitutional
Government, and IN arms around the
Capital; tint IN this national emer-
gency Congress, banishing all feeling Of
mere passion or resentment, wW rccoiiect
only its duty TO The achole country; tint

any spirit OF oppression, or for any
purpose Of conquest or suIjugafion, or
purpose Of orerfhroacing or interJering

The "peace State Convention.

On Tuesday last the delegates to the Peace
Buildings, at the corner of Lexington and
st. Paul's streets in Baltimore. The candi-
dates placed before the Convention for Guber.
material honors were General Benjamin c.
Howard, of Baltimore county, and Henry w
Archer, Of Har ford county. The names OF
John Merryman, and Hon. VIM. Y. Hamilton
were also proposed, but withdrawn. On the
LIST ballot, Howard received G7 votes and
Archer %. Mr.. Howard having received a
majority of the votes cas-. was declared the
nominee.
a. Lingan jarrett, Esq, of Hartford, was
nominated for Comptroller, by acclama,ion.
Some Of the " roughs " were present and
manifested disposition to get up scene, but
the police promptly in!ellur,d. Not word
appears to have been said about Democratic
Party in the Convention. The very name is
ignored, as well it may be. So let our friends
in Cecil, who profess 20 be Democrats examine
this . Peace" Party and discover, if they
can, one principle of Democracy in it. The
proudsst boast of the Democratic party in
times past, has ever been to stand up for the
country and her institutions, through sun
shine and storm that Of the {" Peace party
is to cry cowardly for mercy" to the
secessonists, whom they are ready to
acknowledge as their masters.

Correspondence of The Cecil Wing I
NORTH EAST, Sept, 10Th. lSC

NORTH EAST, Sept, 18th, 1861.
Mr.. EDlroR Our usually quiet village
was the scene of quite an excitement this
morning. occasioned by the departure of
the Mnflit Iouavcs for Camp Hoffman, Balti.
more City, where they arc ordered to go into
the camp until the Regiment receives Its full
compliment Of men, which Is rapidly being
accomplished. As was stated in The Hhin
some time since, this Company is composed of
patriotic young men who are ready to serve
their country, as they have now fmiy demon
Straied, of which you would have been salts.
fled had you witnessed the thrilling scene that
occurred at the Depot, this morning as they
impatiently waited for the iron horse to carry
them to the point Of their destination.
The men were drawn up in line, where the
oath of allegiance was administered to them
by our venerable Justice of the Peace, Anthony
Warton, Esq. Every ear was bent to hear
the obligation as read by the old gentleman,
and every hand was extended to grasp the
sacred book to swear eternal allegiance 10 our
holY cnuse, Present, also were the mothers
and sisters Of those men toll honor to them)
who were willing to offer on their country's
altar their sons and brothers. One mother
in the crowd, proud to have son thus to
honor her, expressed the wish that she had
an hundred sons to send, "only wished she
was a man, to go herself"
The officers of the Company are c. Davis
Trelan, Captain. Sam Ford, LIST Lieutenant,
George w. Benjamin. 2nd Lieutenant.
The company will receive few more men.
who will please report themselves either in
person, or by letter, to G. w. Benaman.
2nd Liutenant, at North East, who will
remain few days, by command Of the Colonel
of the Regiment, for that purpose.
1t is but justice to add that Chesapeake
City is honorably represented in the ranks,
as is also Rowlandsville, Yours, truly,
Union.

Spirited Engagement near Chain

Col. Stephens, consisting Of several compan-
les Of cavalry, infantry, and Capt. Griffin's
battery, went On a Reconnaissance seven miles
beyond the Chain Bridge. on Wednesday
last.
Onl troops having accomplished the object
Of their Grand, connected with the rcconnois-
sancs Of the country, began to retrace their
steps, when a large force of Confederatcs,
were seen approaching from the direction of
Falls Church, evidently with view of cut
ting them off and preventing their return to
their camp, when an engagement took place
resulting in repulse, and retreat of the
rebels, with what loss of course is not
known. The killed. wounded and missing
on the Federal side were about twelve OF four

DJHOn our first page will be found poem
this week flom long silent correspondent Of
The Wing. The writer of Limos " has a
well established reputation among the Poets
of our country. The poem in this week 5
Wing is light playful in style and admirably
adopted, as every reader will acknowledge,
to the occasion on which it was read. We
hope MIR. Hampstead will continue to favor
The UA'g, as in time past with occasional
productions from his prolific pen. Though
not having the pleasure of personal &C.
quaintance with the writer, we can assure
him that he is by no means u stranger to the
present Editor Of The Wing.

The Nominations.

To-day the people of Cecil are called to
assemble in their several places of holding
primary meetings and choose delegates to a
County Convention which convencs in Elkton
on Tuesday next. The object of that Com
vention will be to nominate ticket for County
officers more important duty, than the
one before the Convention, has seldom devol.
we'd upon body Of men, selected for similar
object. 1t is of the highest, of the most
momcntons importance that all party and
personal considerations should be laid aside
hy the delegates, and that they look solely to
the good Of their Country. 1t is of the hishes
Importance that our Legislative ticket should
be composed of men who have weight and
influence in the County, and whose devotion
to the Union and her institutions is undoubtcd
We want to trust the welfare of our State in
the hands Of no middle ground, temporisng
men, no trading politicians. No man should
be put for ward in this Convention, on plea
of having imaginary party claims. No
man has any unlquidated claims upon the
present Union party. The government alone
has claims upon that party, as well as on
every citizen beneath the broad @gis of the
Stars and stripes. Let every man bear in
mind that he is voting either for or against
his Country, when he meets his fellow. citizens
in primary meeting as well as in Convention,
and laying aside all former party predictions,
and bias of personal friendships or animos-
tiles, endcavor to choose the very best men
to put forward in their Country's cause, in

Mass MEETlNGs.-There is very bad
habit, which has become quite customary
with those who officiale as managers of Mass
Meetings, Of publishing as speakers. list of
names, without consulting the parties who
are expected to speak on these ocoasions.-
This is piece ofimp,udence on the part of
the managers. and injustice to the public
and the orators who are expected to "hold
forth" Mr. Mathis name has been made
use of in this unsystematic manner on several
occasions during the last two weeks Notices
that he would address public meetings at
places often remote from each other. at the
same time, have been frequently published. =
This system can but serve to dissppoint the
public, and often place the speakers in very
embarrassing situations. Parties who under
take the management of public meetings
should never neglect to consult the speakers
in the first place, and then no. notifying
failures will be likely to occur.
