Gen. Frank Blair Plants Himself Upon the Demooratio Platform "The Union as it was " Gen. Frank P. Blir, Jr., on his return from Vicksburg, was serenaded, when he made a speech which is pronounced the greatest effort of his life. He denounced the radical abolitionists of Missouri for their conduct in factiously opposing the ordinance of emancipation passed by the State Convention, and fully approved the conservative conduct of Gov. Gamble. Gen. B!air also spoke strongly in favor of acting generously with the erring people of the South, forgetting, as for as is consistent with safety, what has passed, and for restoring the Union in all its parts as

it was before the rebellion broke out. We quote a paragraph from Gen. 'B.'s speech : I once heard a great chieftain, whose memory should be held in honor and veneration in this State, and nobody will have any difficulty in recalling his name. for it was the great Missouri Senator, old Benton I once heard him, after one of the fiercest and warmest political contests that ever raged in our midst, when ner sonal vituperation had been heaped upon him, I heard him after the battle was over aud he was victoiious, say to his friends in the hour of victory : "Moder ation is the ornament of victory." So it should be with us. What matters it what certain people may have thought a year or two years ago ? Certain misled and misguided men for a time gave in their adhesion to this movement against the Government. Ihey would now fain obliterate that they have seen their error, and desire to retrieve their ill deeds Shall we meet them at the threshold and thrust them back and insist that they shall be the enemies of the Government? Has our Government so many friends on the earth that we can thrust back those who are willing to lay down their arms and become our friends ? I say that it is neither the part of wisdom or common sense to reject men who are willing to come back to us and be our friends. Applause. I say that while we should right until the last moment until we have ex hausted every doller we posses fiirht un til we have poured out nearly the last drop of blood in our veins fight forever, if necessary to reestablish our Union and the free principles of our Government, yet whenever men are willing to surender, to admit their error, and say that they have been misled and misguided, it does not comport with the greatness and magnanimity of a republican government to pursue them with vindictiveuess, furor, and hatred. That ought to1e left to dynastic governments : this thine of hatred belongs to kings and people who have their own individual spites to vent. But a government of the people a great l magnanimous government knows how to forgive as well as how to conquer. ivueers.j aiy mentis, l desire to see the reestablishment of the Uuion as it was. Great applause. Campaign Against Constitutinnal Liberty The Abolition press begins to fore shadow the principles which will be avowed by the Abolition Convetion when it assembles, uder the call of the Republican Committee, in September next. It is a campaign against Constitutional liberty that it is proposed to open. The Young Men's Committee have been used to indicate the character of the platform to be adopted. They say: e have lived to see men prefer loyal ty to party before loyalty to country; to see a fugitive criminal justly condemned after a fair trial, for mis-prison of treason. held up for the office of chief magistrate of another State. The trial of Vallandigbam was by a packed Court Martial, his offense was not proven, his sentence was unknown to the law, and the sense of the people everywhere revolted at it. The Republi cans proposed to aseume the responsibility of arbitrary arrests, aa a plank in their plntform. e accepted the challenge. It defea ted them in half the Northern States last year, and it will bear them to the ground in the remainder now. Let Democrats go into the contest as the Champioua of Constitutional Liberty, and the llepublicane as the partisans of Arbitary Arrests, and there will be no doubt as to the re sult. Albany Argt. The following sentiment, from one o Ohio's nobltst most patriotic and worthy sons is worthy of being printed in letters of gold. Read it: COMPROMISE. "Not compromise ! Compromise is the first . . . law of combination i naa almost saia oi na ture. It is the law of all society all gorern merit all united action. Partners in busi ness compromise members of political, rILiou?, charitable. neful societies eompro-n-Up Kin T eomrromi"1 with each other they compromise with their subject, or !oe them Wnrs end by compromise; the tarm Iv circle is a compromise. Husbands com promise with thir wires; fathers compro mise with their disobedient children; and. i our holr religion is true, God Almighty com promiseed with man when he accepted in his behalf the atonement of His feon, and shal we refuse to do what nature, reason, religion and history all command ? ifon.

Valandighaminf avbr bf Suppressing

the Bebelion. The Cleveland Plaindealer has been permitted to make an extract from a private letter of C. L. Vallandigbam to a gsntleman of that city, the postcript of which we1 copy ! P. S..In reply to the statement which is go often made by abolitionists that I am not for "suppressing the rebelion." let me, for the benefit of yourself and my" other friends of your acquaintance, Bay that it is not true, and never was. And it is just because I believe that the policy of the administration and abolitionists will never suppress it, that I am and always have been against it, and for another mode and policy. In a speech at Dayton, August 2, 1862, you will find the following : "I am for suppressing rebellion. I am I always have been, perhaps my mode is not that of other men, but I have the right, and mean to exercise it still, of judging for myself of the true and proper mode. 1 thiuk mine would have prevented it at first, and even after it began would have ended it long since. It must, it will be tried at last, if ever anything is to be accomplished. Uutl have had no power to try it. They who have the power have determined upon another way with what success, judge ye and like a good citi zen, I resist not, but stand by to see the result ot the experiment. I repeat it : lam for suppressing all re belhon both rebellions. There are two the se:ession rebellion South and the abolition rebellion Xorth and West. I am against both ; Since you have resolved that there shall be war, I commit the arm ed rebellion South to the soldiers of the army three-fourths of them Democrats young Demycrats. I commit it to Halleek, and Buell, G. W. Morgan, and oth ers, and to that abused, persecuted, out raged general and patriot, Georcre 1$. McClellan. (Great cheering.) If he cannot do it it is because, in the nature of things, it is not possible that it be done in that way. - Governor of Tennessee. The Washington correspondent of the New York World says that Hon. Emerson Etheridge is, at the instance of prom inent Union men of Tennessee, endeavoring to obtain the consent of the adminis tration for General W. B. Cambell to he inaugurated governor of Tennessee, on the ground that he was voted for in the various counties on the first Thursday in August last, the day fixed by law for the election of governor in that state since 1835. It is claimed that he received all the votes cast, and iu that 6tate the majority of all the votes given elects. A large vote, it is said by those gentlemen, would have been thrown throughout the state had not Governor Johnson and his advisers opposed the election. They also say that the inancruration of Governor Campbell would reieve Governor Johnson from his labors, and the people of the state, having a civil governor, would have no difficulty in re organizing the entue stite government immediately. Union vs. Unity. We hear much at present about Unity rom the supporteie of Lincoln. Do hese men know what unity means! Uni ty is oneness, n the existence a unit. Union is a combination of integrals, is the united action of sevreal individuals, it is '-onerom many. Unity is, and has been, the aim and desire of despotism in all aires of the world. Union is the result of concession and compromise, and has been the desire of the friends of freedom in all ages. Union of belief, unity of principle has been the demand of intolerance and big otry in every conflict of the past, through which civil and religious liberty has been called to pass. Diversity of belief and diversity of principle for the elimination of trnth, and the establishment of full freedom of opinion, has been the desire of all the friends of liberty. To secure protection against foreign foes was what our Union was established for. To secure unity of interest, unity of princple and oneness of institutions. was an extravagance of Utopianism, that our Fathers were not so foolish as to even dream of much less attempt to coerce upon the people. Cin. Enquirer. 1 he JJoctor Knows. An amnsing thing occurred in the 24th Ohio Regiment A few days since a soldier, in passing to the lower part of the encampment, saw two others from his campany making a rude coffin. He inquired who it was for "John Bunce, said the others. "Why, replied he, 'John is not deaj yet It is too bad to make a man's coftin when you don t know it be is going to die or not.' "Don't vou trouble yourself,' replie the others. "Dr. Coetold us to make his coffin, and I guess he knows what he gave him! JST Our veracity is reckoned by what flows from the mouth, while our voracty

HIS AITA70XXY Ac FnTOIOLOOY. no. t The basil of the bony structure, promised tcj describe, are membranous, or nearly so, tslng composed of fibers, la minae or plttea, which are connected to gether so as to form by their intersection or joining a series of cells comparable to those of the cellular structure, though some dispute this theory, the latest Physeologists, among whom is Dr. Seas pay, are Scaspay, proves this asseriton. All bones of the horse are invested (covered) on the outside, except those portions covered or plated with cartilage, with a thin membrane, termed periosteum. Through this covering, and in this way, nature makes a veinous and arterial communication between the dense or hard, and soft parts of the bones. This periosteum, is of the fibrous texture, which I shall explain, perhaps, after a little. I say fibrous, it being composed of inelastic fibres, of great strength and closeness. The inner surface of the periosteum is Connected or joined to the bone by those vessels, passing from the one to the other. Here let me notice how the blood vessel es of the marrow sacks communicate with the arterial and veinous system, and by other numerous prolongations, which pervade the boney system. I will next allude to the cartilage after giving the number of bones in the horse, and will name them if time permits, after the frame is described. Bones of the head, 10; of the face 18 ; teeth, 40 ; tongue, 1 ; of the ear, 8 , the spine, 30 ; tail, 16 ; chest, 37 ; pelvus innominata 2; shoulder, 2; humeral arm 2; forearm 2 ; knee, 16 ; below the knee 18; hind extiemity, famure2; stifle, 2; leg 2; hock 12 ; leg below hock, canons 2 ; splents, 4 ; beneath the canon 12. Total 238 in the old horse. The colt has more. The Cartiligenous substance, or rather structure, is intemately connected with the osseous, or boney, It is a fine close substance, appearing like homegeneous, and of the same nature, partially clear, and of a white or pearl color. The surface is smooth and uniform, presenting neither eminence or cavity, pores or unevenness. It has however small capellary, (absorbing) vessels, too small for the naked eye to see. Notwithstanding its cloeness, it has a small circulating apparatus, which is shown in such diseases as spavin and rmgoone, in wnico he cartilage is absorbed, or becomes bone, by inrlamation. which proves the oolery of those who attempt to cut off spavin or ring-bone by destroying the periosteum, a membrane that covers the bones, and is very seldom renewed in the lorse. Cartilage is chiefly composed of glue, albumen, and phosphate of calcium. Cartilage is found in two formes, viz : temporary and permanent, the tempo rary is found in colts, and the permanent in grown horses, lhere are four forms of it, viz : The membriform, the mterrosal, the articular, and interarticular. The membriform furnishes a support to the softer parts, supplying the place of bone, by giving shape and firmness to the parts by their elastic property, they yield to pressure, and resume thir natural shape when the pressure is removed. This kind is formed in the nostrils, ears, larynks and the rings of the windpipe. The intercostal are those which unite two bones, firmly fastened to each, and admiting of great motion, such as that which joins the ribs together, when mase rated they show laminae (plates) of an oval shape, united together by fibers passing obliquely or slantingly by between them, and firmly fastened to each rib. The articular are thoe cartilages which are attached to the ends of bones, coming together as in joints, those have two offices to perform, that of forming a smooth surface for the joints to play on each other, and also for the ligaments tendons capsules, for the latter to rest on, and the two others to play over. The next great service they afford is by being elastic, they yield to prossure and soon re sume their form when relieved of 6uch pressure, often saving great injury to the parts, which would occur it bones came in contact, and at all times from friction it deprived of the elasticity and smoothness ot cartilage, interarticular cartilages are of the same composition as the latter, but they are fixed between the former bones of the joints, easily found in the hock and knee, they are attached to the capsular ligament or covering of the joint, and which kolds said joints togeth er, they are fast to it on the inside, which gives them liberty to move with ease. In the knee joint they rest on the end of the shank bone and the arm bone rests on them. Each knee has two rows of them and four in each row, they are lamenated, (formed of plates). Fibra cartilage, are composed of ligament and cartilage, both forming a fibrous texture, forming a basis of cartilage combining both properties. This unites the bones of the vertebra (hack) it is called the interarticular substance, making a close elastic bond, preventing the effect of concussion which the back of the horse is subject too. The ligamentous structure possesses a ereat degree of solidity in some parts. while in others they are modifications of fibrous membrane. The ligamentous sys ten includes a numbsr of parts, which re

ceive different names, such as ligaments, tendinous cords, tendons called sinews, extremeties of muscles kc, Faschia, which mean's the tendinous expansion of museles, Aponeurosis, which ' means a tendinous expansion of fibre. Capsules, which means membraneous sacks, properly called Bursae Mucosae, those four

joints, B3crete the synovial fluid, calie 1 joint oil. The fibers of ligamentous matter also enter into the composition of other organs, affording to them different degrees of moorianicnl strono-th Th lio-a-npntrme

structure, vary in shape, viz : We find tive privilege was not to urgent, for thoso that in various parts they expand into I questions, however important, did not mfaschia, as above named, and in others j lvc the very liberties and institutions of they collect into lenthened cords. The the country, and the Miccess of either one first division includes fibrous membranes, of the two nati'nal parties did not seriousfihrmifl cannlps f prut innuit sheathe n.4 lv imperil them. But the election of

anonenrosis fibrous liraments. These resemble ordinary membranes, only that their fibres ara closer. The Periosteum is one, this is the covering of the bones, which I remarked in relation to the care of Spavin and Ringbone. Thedamamater, which covers the brain, is of the same structure. Fibrous capsules present the form of sacks, as above described, some forming covering for lomts. others forming sheaths for tendons to work through, rather they hold the synoical oil, which pre vents friction of the parts. They are lined by a membrane on the inside, which secretes this oil. In the Tendinous sheaths the fibrous membranes are formed like sockets, some present the appearance of the sheath by the dash of a buggy that holds the whip, they also are lined with a muco mucosae. you find those above the pasterm at the fetlock joint covering the tendon, and keeping it in its place. Aponeurosses, are extended sheath; of: a fibrous texture, which in some instan ces form coverings of parts, while in others form points attachment to muscles of limb. In the former they are termed faschia, and either surrounded the mus cles of a limb, forming a sheath for it, or invest or confine some particular mus cle. In the latter case the Aponeurosis presents sometimes broad aud sometimes narrow surfaces, as nature requires it, to give attachment te particular por tions of muscles. IIW Gov. Seymour of New York re cently closed a speech at Albany with these words: "Never have I embarrassed the Admin istration, and I never will. 1 have at all times sought to uphold the army, and have neglected no opportunity to send succor to our men. 1 have toiled without ceasing to do my duty to the soldiers from New York. 1 have issued upwards of five thousand commissions, and I don't know that the Administration with all the unkind things its friends have said of me, has had occasion to say that rax. course has been partisan in regard to them! 1 repeat that I am full of hope for the future. I have never doubted that the Union will be restored. I have never feared that the rights of tha States will be destroyed. I have never for a moment believed that the invasion of the rights of the States by the Government would be of a permament character. The principles of conciliation and wisdom which guided our fathers will outleve the folly of their successsors. Conciliation is magnanimous. Generosity, in its nature, is larger than hate. A Generous course now will commend us to the world. To the dissolution of the Union I will never consent. I would put forth every power; I would exhaust every measure of conciliation ; I would appeal to the interests, the hopes and fears of the South, and urge every suggestion which it becomes a man to make, to bring back the revolted States, but as to disunion I would never consent to that. Let us put forth every power to restor the Union, invoking every consideration of patriotism, doing all that is due to our country and to ourselves, invoking the return of every State; holding 6acred every star upon those flags that surround us, (pointing to the flags which decorated the hall, ) and marking him who would strike one :rom us Dine neia as muon a traitor as he who would rend its folds asunder." r .ii .is i ... The Albany Statesman is a Republican prper, Dut it taias saucy. e think it is disloyal and ought to be talked to. It says: ""The Government can and should close up the rebellion by the 1st of No vember. If it fails to do this, the blame should fall on Seward, chase, Co.' who wish to carry the war into the next Pres idential electian, in order to make capi tal that may inure to the benefit of the army and navy contractors, pet sutlers and other speculators." The gunboat Clifton, while pass ing through Sabine Pass, Texas, was exposed to a raking fire which reduced her to a total wreck, killing or wounding all on board. The gunboat Sachem, which was in company with the Clifton, was captured. 27" What is the difference between a printer and a tailor? The one works press, and the other presses work. Why is the Republic like a child learning to walk? Because yon must stand by it or it will fall.

Take a Position. The pecular character of these times makes it very important that every citizen should take some positive position as to the great qnestions now agitating the country. In former days, when peace prevailed and political contest were waged between the Whig and Democratic par.ies, and when the issue involved imply the existence of a National Bank a y&tem of internal improvements, tariff, and a revenue, and other minor subjects

of internal Government policy, the necessitv for the universal exercise ot tae elecAbraham Lincoln to the Presidency, and the consequent civil war now upon us, have thrust before the people a tries of questions upon which depend all the rights we have inheritel fiom our fathers. We are now called upon to determine whether or not the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, the right to trial by jury, the security of person and property, the free lorn of speeeh and of the press, the domestic soveriegnty of the respective States, and, indeed, the very system of Government under which for more than eighty years we have lived, shall be preserved and transmitted to our posterity. The history of thee great questions is being written anew, and it is all important that the name of every qualified voter should stand upon the record. This generation is under the most we'ghty responsibilities, for the faithful discharge of which posterity will hold them strictly accountable. Then let us, fellow citi zens, be up and doing that we may proPcll sustain our part in the mcmentous drama-being enacted. Dayton (0) Em pire. Gahibaldi Insane. The question of the sanity of Garibadi is not one of recent raixing. Its positiveness, however, has lately been settle! by the distinguished Italian himself, in a letter addressed to "Abraham Lincoln, Emancipator of the Slaves in the American Republic," and it is evident the mania is a religious one. He commences his insane letter to "Abraham Lincoln" thus : "Heir of the aspirations of Christ and of John Brown, you will pass to posterity with the name of the Emancipator ; more enviable than any crown or any human treasure." We doubt if there is any reasonable being would say that anybody but a maniac would compaic John Brown and Abraham Lincoln to Christ. We have yet to ee the record in sacred or profane history, that Christ stole hoises, or did murder, or excited slaves to insurrection, and rape, and slaughter of woman and children. It is recorded in hitory that John Brown did all these abominable crimes. How far Mr. Lincoln will care to "pass to posterity" as "heir of the aspirations of John Crown" is for himself to determine. ZarGen. Robert Toombs has written a letter in regard to the sad condition of the Southern finances. If we before had any doubt of Toombs's financial ability, this letter would certainly have removed them. The General declares that while greenbacks are only some thirty per cent. discount Confederate scrip is a thousand percent, discount! That will do. We thought when an article got to bo a hun dred per cent, discount it was pretty low town but a thousand ! The Boston Post recommends Conductor Lincoln to "put down the breaks" on the Administration, as ther are of the track, and the Democratic cars are on it and coming up with a tremendous speed, and with steam on that will sweep all obstacles away before the gigantic conservative locomotive. A Neutral's Opixion. The N. Y. Sun, a paper neutral in politics, speaking of the latest proclamation, says: Partisans and politicians may rejoice at this measure as contributing to the furtherance of their respective schemes; but true patriots will regret that the Administration should deem it necessary to interfere in any degree with the liberties of the people in order to carry on a war undertaken for their boae5t and in the interests of humanity. Tho tumbler is the glass firebucket which a man often plies when his soul is on fire, but it increases tho conflagration. When the blossoms andlearesof a woman's beauty fail, we discover her defects, as we behold ravens' nests in the tree in winter. 3f Terfect peace ia not possible even in the deepest retirement. A wolf will creep into the most pastoral life. X3T A weak mind does not accumulate force enough to hurt iself; stupidity often saves a man from going mad.
