The Prospect.

From what we canlearn, our prospects
for electing our entire ticket was never
better. Democrats are coming up to the
work nobly. And if we are not mis-.
taken we will give our enemies such a
"drubbing" as they never had before.

0rGen. Taylor has at last accepted
the nomination rendered to him by the
wing convention. In his letter of accept
ance be gives the wings no pledge that
he viii administer the government on
their principles. We don't believe this
letter will be very satisfactory to the
whiggies in this region.
0FThe following communication from
our old friend, c. c. Van Horn, shows
that will not lend his influence to promote
abolition moves:

THE HARvEsT.-For the past week,
the weather has been very sunfavorable
for the harvesting of spring wheat and
oats. The almost daily showers. have

Large quantities, however, have already

THE HEART.-Every time that the
heart beats a contraction OF the fibral
fibres takes place and the blood is sent
through the arteries by the force of
the stroke, as water gnshes through a
syringe and exactly at the same
time an equal proportion is received
from the veins. Thus at every pulse,
about two sPoonsfull Of blood are sent
out from the human heart, through
the arteries, and the same quantity is
received from the veins. 1t is said
that each ventrlcle of the heart will
contain an ounce Of blood. The heart
contracts 1000 times an hour, from
which it appears that 1000 o'.rces, or
$50 lbs. of blood pass through the
heart every hour. The whole mass
of blood in the body of a grown per-
son is about % lbs, so that a quantity
equal TO the whole mass passes thro'
the heart 10 in an hour, which is "a
bout once every SIX minutes. Such
is The operation of the heart In the hui
man body; but think what it must be in
the larger animals, such as the Gle
plant or the whale. In the latter, the
tube through which the blood IS for
ced into arteries called the aorta, is a
foot in diameter, and ten or fifteen
gallons of blood are thrown out Of the
heart at every stroke, and 1t rushes
with a velocity like that Of water thro'
the sluice of mill.

THE TAYLOR PLATFORM.

The Hon. Charles Hudson, of Massachusetts,,
addressed short speech to the recent Wing State
Convention of that State, and, in the of it.,
told tho following anecdote, illustrative of the plat
form upon which Gen Taylor stood and ought to
stand:
Gentlemen, we have heard in the course of this
Convention, and have heard in various
places before the Convention assembled, great
deal said about the platforms that the different par
tics have put before the country. We have heard
of the Baltimore platform and of the Buffalo plat
form, and it has been made charge to the Wing
party that they have nominated candidate and put
forth platform. Now, fellow citizens, the course
which | would recommend you to pursue under
these circumstances is happily illustrated by an in
cident which occurred in this county some years
ago, and at place not far from my present resi-
dence. The good people in one of the towns some
half century since were called upon to settle cler-
gyman. They heard various candidates; st last
they were perfectly satisfied with one whom they
had tried for a short time. The arrangements
We're made for the ordination. Two good pious
members OF the church were selected on the com
mttee. There was residing in that town at the
same time an honest, straightforward, plain spoken
sea captain, probably not very much versed in the
intricacies and windings of theology theological
terms. This committee convened the question
was at once agitated what platform this clergy
man should be settled. The one, believe, was in
favor OF the Cambridge platform, the other OF the
Saybrook platform. After dsputing few mo-
ments upon the subject, the honest-hearted sea cap
tain was called upon TO decide the question. "On
which PLATFORM said they, "shall this be set
tied, the Cambridge or Saybrook? 90 81 know no.
thing Of your platforms, settle him upon the consti
tuition" Applause.
"Well, now, fellow citizens, if it be asked what
the Wings shall do atthe coming election on what
platform they will elect Gen. Taylor? my answer
them is similar to the answer given by the sea
captain that occasion. | know nothing of the
Buffalo platform or the Baltimore platform elect
him upon the consttution-upon that he will stand
upon that he will administer the Government"
