A NEW PLATFORM.

"A NEN PLAIfOhM.
Mr.. EDITOR: Will you permit a few words out
side of all parties> The present crisis demands a
platform of only three main heads:
l. The vigorous prosecution of the war. Here
both parties, officers. soldiers and civilians, agree
both in word and action; although the Democracy
Of course criticise an Administration against
which they voted, and more especially the opin-
ions of the ultras on that side.
g. That state o. feeling that will at the close of
the war heal sectional feuds, and that will in the
meantime hold the friends of the Union in the
South to their love ofthe Union:-in other words,
a readiness to abide by de compromises of the
old Constitution. Here the Democracy are ex-
press, but are powerless without the aid of con-
seryatives of all parties.
3. Thorough retrenchment In a crisis like
this, Congressman should be willing to reduce
their own pay one halls. ami they would receive
as much as if out of Office; besides enjoying the
immense patronage they distribute to their rela-
tives, friends, and political allies. Until they
thus commence on themselves, they cannot OF
course retrench on the civil list generally. Re-
trenchment and heavy taxation, will both be nee
essary, to sustain the financial confidence of the
country. Is either party sound Oh this headl
1t seems to me that these three, and no more, are
the important conditions.

Concerning tle House of Delegates.
EditOr5 Inieltgsneer:
1t willbc recollected by you and youI
numerous readers that at the organization
OF tue present House of Delegates, rekO.
luton was adopted requesting the speaker
OF the House to REQUEST Of invite the Minis
tsis Of the Gospel to open the sessions ol
the House with prayer, without discrimi.
mating between the two Denomination
The members, no doubt, believing there
were good, viii not say. bad, among ali
the denominations. This resolution NE
believe, was adhered to by the speaker and
and complied With by the Rev. gentleman
OF the city, and nm proud to say so far
as my own observation goes, the whole
matter was conducted with honor and de-
corum both to preachefs, members, officers
of the House and spectators; in fact the
opening of the house was Impressive and.
no doubt had the good effect for which
prayer is needed, upon ull honest hearts,
the result that tho work of The DAY passed
OF most harm6niouSIS. Tho members
acted kindly, courteously and respectfully
towards each other. This perhaps was the
effect of an answer TO prayer. 1t will be
remembered that while the master slept
the storm ragged andthe ship was in danger
OF being lost, but when the crew dcspnired
of themselves to save the vessel, they call
ed on the master to help them and he will
ingly did so, and the result was glori-
Ous one. The wind was calmed the bois-
terous ocean ceased to rage aud the crew
made joyful and happy. However, it is
certain that Notwithstanding the seed that
has been sown was good and in all cases
IL full crop may be looked for, in all cases
industry and perseverance are necessary to
secure certain success. Now Messrs. cdi-
tors, desire to come moro fully to the
point, that is, thatwe have departed from
our resolution; we have failed to pay our
VOWS; and if, in part, not in whole, we have
not proved faithful to the close of our la
bors and good seed is likely to be devOucd
