The Policy OF the Admin stration.

We lave already briefly alluded to the ca II of
tnc Republican STATE Committee for State
Convention, and stated that. though the call was
general and somewhat TOO vague IN its terms,
it was yet sufficient to call together the Repub-
lcans and such others as choose to act politl-
caly with them IN convention, and a. The ballot
box. 1t will be necessary, however, for this
convention, il IL aspires to be anything more
tnAn a mere par tnership for the division Of the
s!0ls. 10 adopt. when together, some definite and
specific declaration O. principles, But one
democratic paper IN the State, that we have no
tIced, the Burlington Sentinel has advised what
rhere y left OF the Democratic party in the
STATE 20 20 INTO this Convention, and that pa
rex oas the ir4nkness to avow its object to be
90 cyn,rol the convention by filing it with g con-
sygyatves and we know what that means
wnen "Ivised ~ Democratic paper. We like
tie lG.niness OF the Sentinel in demanding that
the Convention, Il, toe outset, adopt declara-
ton 0! principles specific and well defined, SO
THAI i. may BE- clear what sort of convention
Il is, anG that those who unite in it may know to
what end they are acting together. We agree
with the Sentinel in this, and propose now 20
suggest some of the positions which in our judy
ment ought to be taken by the Convention and
Va hope the Sentinel vii! be equally frank in
submitting its platform.
The convention is called in these words
d" All who are in favor Of sustaining the Con
stitution and the Union, and of supporting the
National Administration in the present crisis
Ut the country, are cordially invited to attend. ~
he first qualification OF this invitation need
no, he separately discussed, inasmuch as it is
eomprehended in the second. The people of
Vermont who are not in favor of sustaining the
Constitution and the Union are not supporters
o. the present National Administration and
are Of no account politically and there is no
danger that enough OF that class will get into the
convention to make the least trouble. The Sec
ond qualification needs, however, some am
plIfcaton by way OF exegesis.
Who are those who are in favor of support.
ing the present National Administration Very
clearly those who support the measures of tina
Administration. And what then are the ,nea
surts OF that Administration Let us enumer
ate some of them.
|. First in Importance we reckon the Eman
CT PATTON Resolutions recommended by the Pres
dent and adopted by Congress by decisive
majority, a majority made up almost wholly o
chose who helped put the present Administra
sion in power.
q The abolition of slavery IN the District o
Columbia is another OF the great measures 0
the National Administration, passing Congress

It is stated in a dispatch from New York that

In his letter Of June 18th, our Richmond cor
respondent states that the Petersburg Express
gives. on the authority Of a lady just arrived in
fhst city from New York, a striking account Of
the reception Of a boat load of wounded men
from the battle Of Inc Chickshominy. The soy
TOW, rage, and despair of the immediate rela-
lions Of the mutilsted and dying members Of
McClenan's grand army, rose almost to frenzy.
Murmurs against the war, execrations upon the
Federal government, were mingled ina loud and
bitter chorus.
Our Yankee friends are just beginning to
learn that in this war there are blows to take as
wei as blows to give, Heretofore they have
felt little Of The immense desolation and wide
spread suffering Of the struggle, and it is just
because as long as the purely defensive policy
is maintained, just 50 long win they be saved,
in 8 great measure, from the evils Of civil strife,
that we ought 70 desire to see the theater Of the
war changed from Virginia to Pennsylvania. OF
course the heavier ana bloodier the battles to he
fought. the more severely wiz they feel the Tuin
wrought by them-in the churches of their large
cities turned into hospitals, in long lists If
wounded men published in their gszsttes, and
tie sicksning cargoes Of perishiug mortality re.
turned 10 their Bharyes. And since we have
withdrawn from the seabOard and compelled
them to meet us regiment for regiment on land,
tie oUtcries from the North have been louder
and louder againt the wicked folly Of attempt
Ing te restore tho Union By the howitzer and the
bayonet The people are at last feeling keenely
the madness of the government.

The St Louis Republican Of the % inst. has

its special dispatches is one dated Cairo, July
lst, which says that Gen. CURTIS is reported in
a bad situation. Supplies cannot reach him,
and he has been on half rations for ten dayg.
He wiz have to cut his way out. The same re.
port says that Gen. HNDstAN was back of 81
Charles with five thousand men, and that Col.

guns. A Confederate regiment is also stated to
be near Helena. We take the following from

When the Mound City came ont of tho river,

were captured by the rebels, horeflsed to give
