IKE PARTINGToN' s COMPOSITION.
The horse is aquadruped with four
legs--two behind and two before. He
has a tail which grows to the hind
part of his body, that nature has fur.
nished with which to drive way the
flies. His head is situated on the 9th,
er end, opposite the tail, and is used
principally TO fasten bride to him
by, and to put intO-a basket to eat
oats with.
Horses are very useful animal, and
people couldn't get along very well
without them specially draymen
and omnibus drivers, who don't seem
half grateful enough because they've
got 'em. They are very convenient
animals in the country in vacation
time, and go very fast through the
country roads, when the boys stick
pins into them, a species OF cruelty
that | won't encourage. Horses are
generally covered with red hair, tho
some arc white and others are gray
and black. Nobody ever saw a blue
horse, which is considered very
strange by eminent natura!ists.
The horse is quite an intelligent an
imal and can sleep well standing up;
which is very convenient, specially
where there is a crowd and it is diff
cult to lay.
There are a great variety of horses
horses, fast horses. horse
mackerel, saw horses and horse flies,
horse chestnuts and horse radish. The
clothes horse is very quiet to
have around the house, and is never
known to kick, though very apt to
make a row when it is capsized.--
The same may be said of the saw
horse, which will stand without tying.
The horse fly is a viscious beast
and very annoying in summer time,
when a fellow is swimming. Horse
mackeral ! don't know any thing
about, only that they swim in the
water, are rare species Of the fsh
tribe. Horse chestnuts are a fine
thing to pelt the girls with, and a
horse radish is a mighty smart horse,
but bad to have standing round where
there is any children.
The horse is found in all countries,
principally in livery stables, where
they can be hired by the mile, and are
considered by them as can get money,
a great luxury, specially in Sleighing
season. In South America they grow
wild and Indians catch them with noo-
ses, that they throw over the horses
heads which must be thought by the
horses a great nuisance. Boston

THE NORTHERN CONVENTION.

The time for holding the Northern Convention,
at Cleveland, to consider the practicability, pIoba'
bility and expediency of n separation OF the Free
and Slave States is not far distant; and we trust
that the lincoln promising friends of freedom are
making all the arrangements in their power to Sc
cure such an attendance Of delegates ms the pres
ent crisis demands. 1t is to be apprehended, in
deed, as an inevitable consequence, that multi
tudes, who have intended to be at the Convention,
will be compelled TO remain at home, owing to the
terrible pccuniary pressure now every where felt
but nothing should be allowed to prevent a strong
representation on the occasion-strong ihtelleetu-
ally, morally, religiously, if not numerically. To
this end We would urge both the importance and
the duty Of AbOlitionists, at a remote distance
from Cleveland, to club together in their several
localities, and agree to bear their proportion of the
expense of a delegate or delegates to the Conven'
tion-it being too oreTous to be borne single-hand'
ed, except by q very few persons. Many hands
make light work As fer as practicable, the va
rious Anti Sla avery Societies should be officially
represented.
Nearly seven thousand persons have summoned
this Convention, by afixing their names to the
Call. The signatures of more than seventy thou
sand might have beeen obtained by a general and
systematic effort. The Courier, OF this city
Whose proper location is Charleston or New
Orleaos.j endeayors to ridicule this strong array
by intimating that there IL no difficulty in procur
ing signatures for any purpose, however p,repos
ferrous but, il the editors of that pro- SLAYER
sheet think il is SO easy to get persons to sui
scribe to a Call for such an object, let them max
the trial. asa matter of experiment, and repor
progress! Those who have put their names to tn
Call aforesaid, have not done SO either Ignorant,
or thoughtlessly. Their minds are enlightened
their hearts warm, their convictions deep an
lasting. in regard to the necessity and duty o
seeking the eternal overthrow OF slavery by al
proper methods; and though it is true that the.
are not all agreed as to the precise measures 70 b
adopted, !. is equally true that they are not afrai
10 give to the proposition for d;ssolving the pres
snt slaveholding confederacy. a serious and candi
consideration. Such being their spirit and char
acter. il is idle to affect contempt for the CONVEX
tion which they have called.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

and Judge Leavitt, and what then 7 Why we
have then admitted only the utter incompetency
of tho Republican party to do anything for the
protection of personal liberty, and here too we
have equally good reason as before for the witho J.
ding of anti.slavery votes from the party. 1t can
do nothing as conceded by its own apology; and as
something must be done, men, do not care to
waste their zeal or their votes on a party which
has thus proved itself a ~fruitless experiment.
Our reasons for concluding that this light vote
of the party is to be attributed in great measure to
the causes we have specified, are two-fold.
First the general lack of enthusiasm among
anti slavery men Of the party and the willingness,
for years heretofore unparalleled, to listen to aud
approve more radical measures, by the people gen.
orally. Second
The fact that this falling of is, 30 far as we have
observed, mainly in the most anti. slavery parts o.
the State. For example, Ashtabula County i,
without its equal in the State for its earnest anti
slavery sentiment. 1t is the home Of Giddings ant
of Wade and there the majority for Chase fell ont
thousand short of what his friends most sanguinel,
calculated would be given, to enable them to coun
terbalance Democratic majorities in darker an,
more prejudiced portions of the State.
The lesson to be learned from this defeat Of Re
putl!canism in Ohio, we say defeat, for having los
the Legislature they have lost their power in tn
State, is that. in the present state Of the confic
with the slave power, it is best to make a manly
thorough issue with the enemy. attempting neithe
co~ncealment nor compromise. Heroic manlines
on the part of men in Office who profess to.direct til
fortunes of this war will receive the approval ant
hearty co operation Of oil true friends and challeng
the admiration of enemies. 1t is the only road t
success in a just cause. Let all who love the caus
of freedom, for their own sake and for that of other
labor increasingly SO to elevate and purify publ
sentiment that he who will surrender a fusitiv
slave, or in any other way tolerate the idea tbs
slavery has any rights on the soil of Ohio, can ne'
er be once thought of for any Office within til
gift of the people of this Stale so that no part
protesting to be the party for freedom, shall fin

ton, and by the same process convey to additional
the benefits which 1t it is designed to al
ford them. The will to do so alone is needed, and
although the responsibility for the neglect seems
divided among SO many of us that no one feels
it pressing heavily, in reality each one of us who
omits to do all which is in his or her power to
fulfil it incurs the full weight Of the whole.
press this matter then upon you individually, not
alone for the sake of the oppressed negro, nor the
debased white man, nor of the growing youth, all
of whose interests are so deeply involved in it,
but for your own sake who are perhaps the greatest
sufferers for this neglect Of duty.
