Conservative hack in spot - "Withdraw!"  (6). _E_I_E ?? 
 

It got to be RETIRE but why...

1000 escapes from state prison, causing alarm (5). P_N_C. 
 

Again, it's got to be PANIC but why...

SECEDE       C + ED (editor/hack) inside SEE (spot)

Secede - 'C(onservative) ed(itor; hack)' (in) 'see' (spot) ?

PA-nic(k) - 'k' (1000) escapes from 'P(ennsylvani)A nick'

PA (state) + NIC(K)   K = 1,000

Pa (state) nic(k) (prison minus k - 1000)
