band effort: I etrae here to listen, not to peak. For the last five yeirs I have been politically tongue tiel. It Is true thsl. one or two occasions, my friend Kribben and myself, baring been al low el to cross the Mississippi arnl breatiie the free air ot Democratic . Illinois, have spoken to the uiiterrified Democracy: btit in tl.is city and Sute of my adoption" my home I hate been a Christian for three yeirs without a chuich. 1 bave been, ns I raid in the beginning politically tongue tied. I did not know whether it would be exactly ia keeping with Father Abraham's rule for me to ssesk out my sentiments "or not; but. as the Presidential election is approaching as the time is shortly at hand when every American citizen is to exereNe- that preat sovereign right of a fieeman, to go to the polls und cast his vote for the man of M"choic I wiill take the privilege of saying before the gentlemen assembled here to night (it Is true we are few in numbers, but it is somewhere said in a book I luve not read lor solne time, that "where a few are gathered toaether in my name. I will be with them") I will take the privilege of saying that, as far as I caught the preamble and resolution read by Col. Kribben, I indorse them. every word and sentence, without dotting an i or crossing a t. f Applause, j I believe, sir, (and I do not Jhtend to make a speech.) that the time has come when we, the Democratic party ol this couutry, are in duty bound, not only by every memory ol the past, by our ancient allegiance to the Con stitution of the United States and the Ias mule In compliance thereof, and by every hope for the i resent ami future, that the time ha come when kp slu.iiM rouse ourselves to nctiott. and take our position as n party in the political element of tbia countrT. f Appl iune.1 Sir, I have believed lor the last three years ever t-ince the duk clouds of revolution have hovered over our beloved country that the only compass that could steer this country through the Scylla and Charybdi that threatened our politi cat de-tmrlion w the old lime honored com pass of the National Democracy. Applause. If there is balm in Gilead, if there is no Lope for the restoration of the Union in the Democratic party, then the oW ship has gone to wreck irrevocably, in my opinion. Applause 1 I do not believe, sir, that the present party in power can steer her safely through the breakers that threaten her, and bring her back to the harbor of peace, prosperity, happiness and independence, and out old, time honored devotion to human liberty and hum in light. What h is this great republican party accomplished ? It has been in power for three ; ears. Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated as President of the United States on the 4th of March, lfcGl. Ere he took his seat as President, the mere fact that a minority of the American people placed him upon a sectionaliplatform, and tint he was erected to the Presidency s a rectional candidate, tore from that starry 11 ig some eight or ten bricht particulur stars. His first act was to call for seventy live thousand men to put down the rebellion and re-tore the Union. He had just as well,, sir, have called for seventy-five thousand brick to have da tr meal the river that I washes the base of your city and Hows eternally to the (!i:lt of Mexico. Applaue It was the first great eiror in his administration, and convinced every rational and sane man, that he was incapable of guiding the ship amid the storm. Applause Now, I don't propose to ''make a speech. Laughter As 1 told you betoie, 1 don't know what I would sar. if I was going to be executed. Laughter It has been fo lon since I havefpokeu, 1 dn't know exactly what foot to start off upon ; but I do know when I look Democrats in the face. I feel I am ftill r American citizen Loud applause. Well, sir, every chapter In the recorded history of this republican rule of ours is a chapter of mi?fortuue, a chapter of error It lias built a monument for itsell. ' No doubt of that. Five hundred thousand citizens hare been offered up, nnd their boucs lie bleaching on the soil of our country, a mon ument to black republican rule. We are now in ! the third year of this rebellion, that seventy five ' thousand men were to put down in ninety days, ' as prophesied by Seward in the beginning; a. rebellion that Lovejoy declared a regiment of old women in flannel petticoats could put down, und j now we find the President of the United States ' cilring for iiW.OOO more Am 1 not justified in saving. Mr. President, that every ftep that has been, taken by ihn republican pirty in the administration of this 8v eminent, from the elec tiou of Lincoln up to the present lime, has been an error.if not a Iraud unpoii the people of this country? Applause Now, sir, I have to the conclusion it is high time this government changed its rulers. I desire tu &ee the Union of these States lestored as much so s jiiv man upon thi continent and I n in to niht, Mr , as I have been during all our troubles, a sterner and better patriot even lhau .toy of the radicals who favor negro epnlity d ue to be. Applause. I am for the Union of this country as given to us moulded by tho p'.istin Kin. I of tiod, and by the patriotic sirts. A Union th it received the sanction of Washington, Jefferson, and M idison is good enough !r nie It don't want the modern improvements of Abraham Lincoln. Applause ßut I don't intend to inak a speech. Ltuhter I remained in St Louis for the purpose of attending the ncro equality convention of Louisville. I hid home curiosity to see of what ma terial that body would be composed, and what new political dogmas they would dare protnul gate in the face of G.i and the American people, upon the birthday of the immaculate Washington; but I concluded to forego the pleasure ol being an outsider in Sodom and Gomorrah, for the pleasure of meeting here one hundred or oue hundred and filly of the old fashioned, honest Democrats ol St. Louis. Applause It always makes me feel hke a boy at camp meeting. Now I don't know how long this thing will be allowed to progress. Laughter. 1 hey mJ put on the brakes to-morrow, and ?av that he who dared to meet in the ashington Hall, bear ing the sacred and honored name of the Father of his country, on the anniversary of his birth I say I don't know but the brakes may be put on to-morrow, and that Chris. Kribben, for the resolutions he has promulgated here, and I, humble as I rn, for indorsing them, may be oidered down South, or somewhere else laughter or ordered to answer at the headquarter, for what! we nave chanced to sty upon thia occasion. ell. sir, so be it. Applause The time has come when an American citizen, an old fashioned, old line Democrat, a mm that has lived and proved his devotion for thirty ears to the stars and stripes, a mtn that has never uttered a sentiment against the Constitution of bis country the time has corne, and is now. for a man to say what he pleases without being huted over the co-Is, nnd he rniuht just a well answer now a to answer hereafter for I am as readv to die now as I ever will be Liuhier I will try to talk sense two minutes and a half and then quit. I don't intend to make a speech. Laughter I don't want it said I male a! speech, but this I will sav: A convention is to i v '! I.v -III 't VUIV flfc XIIIV.lW. it a good day for the Democratic party to meet. We have our faults, but hang me if il is not the honestest, truest, best constitutional Union party that evvr did exist in this country. Thev tttk atout our not being a wr party. Why, sir, in 1?I2-15, when Madison was President, who stood by the Government of the United States? Il wi the Democratic party. In more recent times, wheu we were engaged in a war with Mexio.and black Torn Corwin and those Boston politicians were desirous that the Mexicans should welcome our soldiers "wiili bloody bands to hospitable graves," who stood by the country? Tr.c Democratic party, and it stands by the Constitution and the country to day! We hive got sme Democrats in the fie'd, or did have. McClellan was a pretty good Democrat, and was beginning to loom up as certain to be the nexf President, aheu Father Abraham chopped off Lis head and left him out in the cold Old United State (irant i a Democrat, and my be nominated by the Democratic party at Chicago If he is, be will sweep over the country like a prairie on fire apf lausej. and I should not be surprised if his hed was chopped off. They say Rosecrans is a Damocral. I don't know him. Well, they look the pin feithets out of him at Chattanooga. Liughtcr. It would not do for us to express any preference for him. for they would nip his tail off quicker than a wink. Laughter. J But I am not going to try to make a speech. I am going to wait until alter the Chicago convention. Whoever that convention nominates and indorses, is the man to be run and voted for

by the Democratic partr, and when the nomination, i made, I will p-ail of my coat, roll up ray lrevei and go Pr. tbecanvt- '-root bog or die." Applause J

The Richmond Jt ffersonian gives the following extracts from the Republican papers in the Fifth Congressional District in regard to the war now raging between thetwowins of the Abolition party. When rogues fall Out, honest men are likely to hear the truth: The camptign for the abolition nomination for Congress in this ditrict opens rich. The ball opened at Centreville on the 13th, and the work ot crimination and recriniitation goes on vigorously among the factions. The Julian men charge the Meredith men with picking the convention with soldiers, mostly from other counties, from the camp at this place, with furnishing them n free ride to Centreville, and that thev were specially drilled for the o?casion. The Meredith men chirge that the ofliceholders the postmasters, provost mirhal :md deputies, assessors, deputies, fcc , who receive! their appointments through the influence of Lilian, attempted to control the convention. Taking the accounts tho fiction give of each other, they are a terril set of rascals, and neither of the men they are quarreling over h worthy the support of honest men. According to thc statements they make in regard It e.uh other, they are all a pack ol Scoundrels nnd ought to be repudiated by honest people They ure, if what they say of each of each other is half true, absolutely much worse than we had supposed, bad as has been our opinoii of abolition politicians. As our readers mav wi.h to know something of the propre of thc war between the fictions, I t I ..! I . 1 ! I 1 wnicn is icinz "vigorously prosccuiru, we win give them a few choice extracts from "loyal" organs. The Hroad Axe. the Julian organ of this citv, says: "Let it be known that such men as Hill Dickie, Mathow- R. Hull, Bill Morton ant Rank Dildridge, all men of execrable notoriety, are the enemies of Julian, and honest men will come to his support." It f urther says that one of thc Meredith leaders is "a notorious libertine, a man against whom thc Grand Jury ef the county found a true bill for manslaughter," &c. The Axe says of the proceedings of the Convention: ... 'A Vice President of the meeting, in a mild and gentle manner, undertook to pacify Solo mon's friends by saying that no slight was intended to him, but only the endorsement of acts which certainly all good Union men approve. Rut no discussion was to be allowed. Solomon waved his h inds lnirli in the air, and called his fiicnds t the rescne. O Rooter, Randolph A. Co. shoi-ted aloud, nnd Rill Morton, of .-lung hhot notoriety, advanced with clenched fi-ts upon ihe Vice IVesidenr, and, on; id the patriotic threats of the ex-commander of the Potomac, and the shouts of his admirable followers, free speech was butliel into silence, ami the resolution to indorse the honest voters of a Intal mcmher of Congress sustaining the Administration, was squelched by the disgraceful rowdyism of a mob professing patriotism nd loyalty." A correspondent of the New Castle Courier, who is probably a Deputy Trovost Marshal, writes as follows: "Meredith was present and msdea short spee h. exhibiting his usual energy, and apparently in excellent health I certainly never saw him look better Near the close of the Convention, a motion was offered, approving of the course in Congrss of Julian This threw the General into a paroxysm of rage the preen eyed monster seemed to b-ive taken possession of his soul he would not let his friends argu it! I', was too monstrous to be thought of I One f ihe Vice Presidents of the Convention undertook to ex plain and to' advocate its passage It would not I do! It had to be defeated, even if a row was the result! Some confusion fuMoaed, during which a fellow by the name of Morton. I believe some called him Bill' Moiton the same who kept a tavern in Centreville some years aro made some offensive remarks to the Vice President, which I could not bear, the object of Meiedith and his friend being to get up a rumpus and defeat the resolution. In this they succeeded, for the Convention adjourned amidst the yells for Hull on the part of the Meredith men. and for thc Vice President on the part oPthe Julian men. "A more disgraceful scene perhaps never occurred in Wavne county certainly not in a Union Convention. And the responsibility is with Meredith alone, and perhaps a few of bis particular friends. There had been some feeling, as is true, but all was going on well enough, and the Convention would have adjourned with reason able hat mony . but for the determination of Mere dith to prevent, at all haznrds, the indorsement of Julian " The statement of this correspondent in regard to Solomon's "excellent health" is calculated to disprove the statement that he left the army on account of ill he iltli. Julian has written a letter addressed to the ' j as a candidate for the nomination for Congress, ... I : 1. i. in w nicu ne savs: "I understand perfectly the character and pedigree of the political managers who are aeainst me, alwunding chiefly in the counties of Wayne and Henry, and whose matchless tactics two years ago should tot be forgotten. Every step of tncir opposition was signined by an utter defiance of truth, common decency and fair play. I he most extraordinary combinations were formed, disowuing all honor and manhood in their methods of warfare, and giving themselves to thir work with a real which could hsve scarcely been exceeded if I hid betrayed the country to its enemies, or damned myself by some high-handed crime." The Cambridge City Journal, a Meredith paper, edited by that very lotal Unconditional Union man. Rev. Matthew U. Hull, gets off the following pious paragraph: A Julian man at Dublin says if Jesus Christ was running acainjt Georpe W Julian for Congress, he would scratch out the niraeol Jesus and vote for George. This Is not remarkable. The Jews preferred a malefactor to Jesus, and why not those crazy men who follow Julian?"' m The foregoing extracts will be sufficient for the present to show the estimation in which the Julian and anti Julian factions of the Administration hold each other. We may give more hereatter. 2T A French physician has discovered that brandy or rum is the best antidote for an over doe of chloroform.

Frra tbe Scalpel, j Hooped Mtlrta Are Itiej- Healthful! There are few subject about which rsore stupidly ill-natured remtrka have been made by thoughtless people than that simple device for woman's comfort the hooped skirts. We alwaja'thouht favorably of hoops from early association with that glorious race of women, our Revolutionary grandmothers, mhen we listened to the description of one of those stately minuets given in honor of the inauguration of (Jeueral Washington . Ireid?ct of the foiled State. Hoops were invariably worn on all occasions ot ceremony. 'Tis true, we then had no omnibus orrtilroad cars in which women of bad breeding, and often worse temper, could disDlay these accomplishments, by mistaking the vehicle for their own private carriage, should any hurried or wearied pedestrian seek a seat beside them; nor was it then cutonitry to go to market or shopping in an evening orball dress. Kven on grand occasions, the train was looped op on one or both sides, because the wearer had the good sense to see that an apartment was of

iimiteo space, ana ti man could not annihu its himself for her convenience; but thc hoops were amp'e, and grandly did they become the w earers, for they too were grand and ample women. We bave eeerj the costly brocades and the hlghhecled' lippers, but the hoops long since went into the oven, or great Franklin or ten plate that warmed the parlor or cooked the dinner in those primitive and anti shoddy days The hoop were made of substantial hickory; and we have often trapped rabbits on the very spot where some of them grew. The ladies were usually content with three citcles, eo disposed that they gave the most elegaut and artistic disposition of the rich and heavy fabrics which, unlike most of the modern material, would almost ftand. alone without either the wearer or the hoops. In those davs, when most of the wearers were no strangers to a horse's back and the broom or ! bread tray, those cunn'mgly devised little spriney circlets that now ;ive such an exquisite and Venus like curve to the tournure. us it sweens downward and fills into the gra:id and loop-like folds of the skirt, were entirely unknown. You may completely clothe ;t barrel with the stoutest without impairing iu excellence; but we should be loth to waltz with a partner tkus arrayed. even if our ardor in the dance would permit us to ignore the contact of the lower circles with our tibia and fibula, or (breathe it softly) with our fchiliä. Truth to ppeak, however, dear ladies, the f mailer circle? were quite unnecessary; for women in those primitive dajs had a fairer chance for life and beauty. Muscle and sipcb outline were not considered vulgar, nor did she of the accumulated elbows and anatomized bust and hips have a coadjutor in the crochet needle aud the vinegar bottle, in her malicious ridicule of a young woman whom nature had lormed a a woman ought to be farmed, with the vital organs, breasts and pelvis adpted to the grand end and object of her creation the crowning glory of her tex a family of healthy children. We consider the modern fcooped tkirt one of the m sr admirably artistic and beilth civ in1' I device of our time; and no sensible person can j fail to appreciate the beutfiu to the young girl or j woman. We will jrive our reasons lor this I opinion; ol course they a ill be entirely profes- ; tdonal. lor we nre no mmi-aiilliiier. : It is conceded bv all correct observers, and full' recojjri'zel by an aiatomists nnd gymnastic teachers that the muscles of the throax and its append i ges, tho arms aud abdomen, are not ued more than one-fourth as much by our modern women as they are compelled to use those of 'he les. Nenly ail the mo'ements which our unfortunate voting people ik-c permitted to pet form by thc inexorable fiat o' Japonicadom are what may be called passive; htr hands must be reverently and 1 ivingly folded across her chest in or. der that their whiteness nay not sutler by permitting the lca.t motioi; the lungs, of course, must be kept quiet, not . inly because she is not allowed to walk fast encugh to require much air, but because the positiot of the arms, and thc weight of the forearm ;iid hand resting upon the lower ribs, will not allcw their elevation so that the air can enter the ower part of the lunes at all; at best, but a sixtl part of those life givinjr organs are used, and oily their upper part being fully indited. low i the hooped ?kirt be hung to the jacket in four phecs, nt least, and not lett to rest upon the hips the reader will perceive that the backbone a-id all the miwolr.s which in close and pteady txth the reat cavities of tlie body nnd keep thm elegantly erect upon the hips, mui carry nth the hoops and the skirt; tuen these may te made both light aud elegant, or heavy and grnd, as the seasons may require; while drawers of material adapted to our pe vere winters may be so artistically adjusted nnd supported by suspenders as completely to protect and clothe the limbs, without the necessity of thfi'kirts f-o ;irdin the body by drawn cords to keep them nnd the drawers in place as not only to cripple all the viscera, but to interrupt ihe heathful action of the uius.de of the abdomen, aid, worse than this, to compress all the veins tint cory back the blood from the loa er limbs to the heut for purification, nnd often, n wehive seen, to render the integument below this prdle of many cords, very perceptibly dropsical. Kvery lady, if she will use her eyes, can see tlii- fur herself "the horrid ra nks" that they causa she often laments. Now, reidet s, if the lungs ire only one-sixth part, the muscles of the body scarcely at nil, and the venous blood from the Lwer limbs prevented from returning at the full r.te of five-ixth of the fpeed intended by nature, when you nre walking even at the snail's pace youaic allowed to, what must be the result on the ti i tri t ion of the mu-clcs of these limbs? for you Inow they act nnd grow by blood alone Depend upon it, though you may make them dropsict and deceptive in size, they will not help jot to dance so well, or to go up and down stairs. And this brings us to another preat c-il; if we will sacrifice so much to brown stone fronts and the fancied necessity of fashionable ftret t; if we must live In houses furnace warmed, nnd eighteen feet bv five stories hii;h, for pHy's sake let us so distribute the load of dress our dim tie requires ma to allow every part of the body to le ued to carry it up stairs; let the jacket or the rhoulderstrap? give the chest its share of the work; in a word, let our wive and daughters shoulder their loans, if they would have their days prolonged in the 1 itid Il the ladies will pardon us, we will venture a hint on the dimensions of the fkitt. Its most excellent cvA is to ecuie the unrestricted use of the linib- in walking; it mu-t, therefore, be of sullineiit diameter to allow :t full step and thc necessary spice for the ur.der clothing. If it restrict the step in the least degree, it is too small; no woman should be ambitious of a short step; ihe longer the Hep, the more breath requiied, and the greater development of the thorax and luns. Quirk and elegant walking, with the phouMers thrown bck, will do as much for the growth of the vital org ins as singing. Woman must drr:. warmly, keep her feet dry, walk more nndett tti; e, or he will never fulfill the great object of her creation. A Scrap or English Cov-rt f?o?sip.

I learn that there was rjuite a rebellion at Windsor Cas.Ie. The Princess vehemently opposed h ii!g a wet nurse, nnd the Prince took her side, and could not see why she could not be allowed to nurse the habe, as she strongly desired to do Rut she was told that the court traditions could not be set aside; never was English Prince Or Princess yet nursed by its own mother.
