And her voice is soft and low,

Where .the sound and silence meet.

Of her laughter and her sighs; _
Or what heavenly'r'riea‘nings dwell
In her kind confiding eyes !
Pretty-lipase rubies bright,

Little Wandering stars of light >
Love to nestle in her curls.
Alt her Ways are Winning; ways,
Full of tenderness and grace ;
And a switching sweetness plays
- Fondly o’er her gentle face
True and pure her soul-within—
' Breathing God’s serener air ;
Evil, and the shame of sin,
Cannot dwell a moment there.

The reunion :.Convention—At--
tenancy-Gen. Speed’s Letter to
Mr. Doblitfle. ~ . .' ,-
, ‘ ASHmeTON, July 15, 1866.
To the Earh'lR. Doolittle, Chairman, (to,
sz—I have ~the'Honor‘ to acknowledge
the receipt oftyour note of the 10th.inst., with
a printed copy of a call-for a. National Union
Conventionto be held at Philadelphia on the
nth—iday-‘oi August next. , You request, in
omthe calland the princi les enunciated in
it meet my a proval, that reply at my ear-
liest. ~crmvenence. This language would
seem to: imply ‘that no answer'is desired if I
dOEhot approve the call and the principles a-
vowediu, tr‘ii‘i other words, that a failure to
reply may he in rated as a disapproval
not" onlyof the cal , but of each and all of
the principles announced in it. .
Thifls’ia‘,’ j' ', tion in. which I am unwilling
to be pl ",1 ,when I approve of many of the
principlea'Setwforth in the call,and yet do not
approv'e‘of the cell itself. I will briefly state
my reasons: first premisin that I do not rec-
ognize :the very respectab e entlemen who
have made this call as the ac nowledged or-
gans of the great Union party of the country.
Since the outbreak of the terrific strugg
from which the country has now emerged,
we.~have?;had aNationai Union party that
have exhibited more devotion, made greater
sacrificesand manifested more unsel sh pa-
triotism than any party ever did in the me
vious history of the world.
That party is still in being, with its organ-
ization» intact, and its organs known; and as
that party, by its faith, its doctrines and ex-
' ertions, has, in the face of the wphecies of
half the 'New and all the Old orld, saved
the Goycrnnient and Re ublican institutions
of our denimon country in demoralization,
and. indeed from utter ruin, by vindicating at
all hazards the primordial theory of the eter-
nal,indissoluble union of the States, through
which onlycasia particle of the theory of '
State rightsever be maintained and carried
out; it would appear to me to be still the on-_
ly one or at any rate the most effectual
means, as far as a party can do it, of finally
adjusting all the remaining minor and unset-
tled matters of reconstruction consistently
with the' requirements of the theory men-
tioned.
This party is the same to-day as it , was in
the days of its trial; the same part now as
who but a few short months ago, it elected
Linco and Johnson, and .the majority of
the present Congress ; and asI acted with it
then, for paramount reasons, my sense of
duty demands that I remain and act with it
now.
The pith-and marrow of the presentcall, I.
should say, :'tends toward a convention to
form a for sustaining, not the‘ Govern-
ment intits entirety (as has been the mission
of the Unibn party), but a department oi'the
Government. And here I must take the lib-
ertyoiadding; that I can hardly'conceive of
any saddor “spectacle,- under, the crisiaof the
pretest. circumstances. than that o..f,,th.e tried
Union. . . yheeoming dislocatedand broken
up by melons or that of one branch of the
Government of the country taking an isolat-
ed position upon: questioni-Of‘deeptaud com-
mon interesfiand placing itself in hostile con-
fiictswitlr the:coordinate.departments . .
Flor theseand other r “ ns whicb'might
be mentionedl cannot joinlin the call for
the Convention in Philadelphia -- -
Illhave, said that many of. the principles
atated'jn __th,e._ Italian, in my;view,‘.unobjec-
tionable. I will not stop to. criticise those-
which 'are- '{ objectionable, but, content "myself
with: stating that the call fails tota'ké any ne’- .
tice ofio'neivof- the great issues before the
Americanégeople.‘ I allude to the question
whome‘r; , 'e.':sev'eral States: ratify or: reject
the-lastAmendment proposed .-by Congress
to the; Constitution of the United States.
This ind grave .and, ’all important question.
Theissue upon it cannot be avoided. It
should-be placed fairly and squarely before
the people. 'The failure to take ground up-
on soim‘p'ort‘ant and all-absorbing a question
must be attributed either to a demo to avert
an issue, or as a declaration of - belief and
policy . ‘ not the -adoption of .the ‘amend-
meat. 2 in myself earnestly and decided-
ly inti’svor o the adoption of t e amendment
b theStates’, I cannot go into an organizh-
t on ' that would either openly oppose that
measure'or that would smother it by avoide
ing its discussion. ’
must also. add that no man is more desir-
oui'i.than51‘_am to attain theentire restoration
of the American Union, with its practical
working: in more perfect harmony and con-
cord than ever, and the surety, as far as mor-
tal'afi‘airs can be made sure, of endless per-
tuit'y’. inth'e future. The blessings to flow
in sucbarUnion are countless and inestio
mable. ' But such a Union,‘consistent with-
in itself- maintained by the universal consent
of all classes and sections, and laughing to
scornvboth the ussaults of foes internal or
external,'and the ravages of time and change
' will only be obtained-by sternly retracting
every departure from, or compromise with
the supremeaud neral idea oi the Ameri-
can fundamental aw, the Constitution.
That general idea consists, in brief, of the
political liberty and equality of mankirfd
under the law. Such, and such only, can’ be
the Union, the nationality that will put in
form the magnificent and lofty dreams of
the American continental mind, and fulfill
in the future the highest efforts of the pres-
ent and the past. tishot the vague delu-
sion that thoughts of the States. need doc-
torlng. - The American theory :' culminates
roporly in the sacredness of the rights of
ndividuais—of each single individual, That
afier all, lie ‘gjw'hat :Waahington carved out
With the sword, and Jefferson, filtering it
through-his subtle-and iree‘ mind, drew up
andput on record with the pen.
It swell known that in the politic ii and
legalhiatory oi the United States the only
departures“ compromises or ; the hind allu-
ded to have been those} in the interest of
819V, . and of. its manififld incidents. I do

most iaportant of its‘incidenls or compm.

“P93753191“?! 1W1!“ ieqnitable reasons can
begivenwslry these incidents also should not
licenced}..-j Time was, that when the brains
WEN-oublhegmflnwomd die-;'but now we
see_the limbs demandbg to live and move,
as if the nervouscentef still existed.
The persistent attem‘ to keep in‘the Con-
emotion the rule of an unequal and unfair
basrs 0f representation isxperilous to the fu-
ture peaceofthe country, andr will surely
cause a, . .. ng sense of the injustice as long
as it free . ued. I
Furthermore, the big missions of the
Union party, as avowed in the Boltimore
Convention, to “extirpate Slavery,” includes
the removal of all the hateful and anti-pop-
ular excrescences engraftcd by_ the: institu-
tion for its own selfish aggraiidizement upon
our free national laws and polity. That liigh
mission and obligation cannot be accomplish-..
ed until all which Slavery has so engrufted is
' cutout; for until then Slavery is not “extir-
sled."
p Earnestly sympathizing with the men who
look to a law of equal representation as the
only guarantee both for popular right and
popular acquiescence, I would feel myself
out of place in a party that iavors a basis of
representation giving peculiar and unnght-
eons advantages to a portion of the body pol-
itic, to the detriment and dissatisfaction of
the whole. ‘ .
Uniting with you and all good men in the
soul-felt desire that peace, prosperity, and
that amicable brotherhood which is more
than any worldly prosperity, may soon pre-
vail, and continue unbroken through our
beloved common country, that former ene-
mies shall die out and be forever lost, and
that all—over the broad domain _of America
equal laws shall protect equal rights to all
mankind, I have the honor to subscribe ‘my-
self your obedient servant. JAMES SPEED.

CHEST-which has the same important
part to perform as the Sounding Board has
in aPiano Forte (to give body and resonance
of tone) nnd Without-which the Organ be-
comes merely a Meiodeon in an Organ Case.
The American Organs not only have the
Wind-Chest, or Sound-Box but have the
large Organ Bellows, giving -power and
great steadiness of tape. These with their
extreme'fine voicing of the Reeds and per-
fectin of the tone, make them the MOST
PER ECT ORGAN KNOWN. Then, in
fineness of workmanship, finish of action,and
case, they excel all others. These great im-
provements and superiorit of tone and
workmanship of the AMER CAN ORGANS
place them in the front rank as the best, and
command a higher price than any other reed
instrument in the market. - , A careful exam-
ination of them, in comparison with others,
will quickly show their superiority.

ease and death known to humanity. It is almost
sure to bring on a cold; and colds, neglected. and
often when not neglected,lead to fevers or to conga
and fatal consumptions. it is in recognition of » a
truth that the inventive talent of the country has
for years been. devising some method. or attempt-
ing to devise it, for keeping the feet dry, and yet
should not give inconvenience to the wearer. Rub-
ber shoes, in one form or another, have hitherto
been our reliance; but it is well known, as among
their runny evils, that while they keep the feet dry
from external moisture, they sweat them over much
and by thus inducing an undue tendernese increase
a susceptibility to colds rather than otherwise.—
They are also cumbersome to the feet and withai
are very expensive, The demand is for something
that shall make the ordinary Boot and Shoe imper-
vious to water, Without sheeting their elegance or
durability, and, if possible, Without adding sensibly
to the cost of their manufacture. These, it will he
conceded, are most important features, and we con-
ocientiously affirm that they are absolutely attained
in the invention herewith presented to the public.
_ The invention consists in inserting between the
inner and outer sole, when the boot is making, a thin
hie-rams run, exceedingly ductile, combining
flexibility With toughness very light, and every way
adapted to the end desired, while the additional ex-
pense is merely nominal. If. furnishes a perfect
barrieragainst the admission of wet or dampness, '
though the feet may be exposed ever so long upon
wet pavements or dam, 1) ground. .
To the ladies and children the METALLIC Sous will
be of incalcnlable value, as from their habit. of life
and delicacy efdress, they are particularlv exposed -
to the long train of ills that attend upon an inade-
quate protection to the feet.
These Soles have already been tried by the beat
of all tests, ACTUAL can, and the testimonials to
their merits, freely proffered. indicate that they
must be speedily and universally adopted by the
public. The Patent Metallic Soied Boots and Shoes
are being introduced into the leading Boot and
Shoe Stores throughout the United States, and will
supplant all forms of overshoes, except possibly for
deep mud or snow, as they become known. Be sure
to get them, and take no other. if your shoemaker
does not happen to have them, he can procure them
without diillculty. If he will not, then‘ send your-
self to the inventor one dollar and thirty cents, and
obtain six pair, assorted, sizes, With right to use,
which will be promptly forwarded by mail or express
