Hon. William Duer OF New York
on Union for the Union.
UsWEGO, Nav l6, 1862,

MY DEAR SIR:-I have received your
letter inviting me to meet yourself and
other gentlemen constituting committee
appointed by certain members of the Leg
islaturc designated as "Republican and
Union MEMBERS" with authority, after
consultation with committees of other or.
ganizations, to fix the time and place for
holding State Convention for the nomi
nation of State officers. will give you
the reason why 1 think it proper to decline
this invitation.
The members Of the Legislature by whom
the committee was appointed with which
you invite me to consult, adopted an ad-
dress and resolutions declaring certain
principles andinviting to a convention which
they recommend, "All Republicans, Union
Democrats, and other loyal citizens sup
porters of the policy of the Administration
and respondingt to the principles and policy
set forth in such address and resolutions.
cannot call myself Ga supporter of the
policy of the administration" and do not
"respond to the principles and policy set
forth in the address and resolutions" and
therefore, though loyal citizen, l am not
embraced within this invitation.
I am ready indeed, to support the Ad-
ministration in the prosecution of the war
TOR the preserUation Of our Constitutional
Union, and l know that to this policy the
President is pledged by numerous acts and
declarations, the sincerity of which | dc
not question. But whether he will adhere
to these pledges in spite of that powerful
influence in his own party which is seeking
to convert the war into an abolition war
is yet to be proved He has already re-
commended an important measure which
in my judgement is impoltic and unwar
ranted by the Constitution. With respec
to the vital questions that remain regart
the "policy of the ADMINISTRATOR" 4
somewhat unfxed and uncertain, and unit
see more clearly what it ia, am unabl
to call myself its "supporter."
But laying aside this objection whicl
does not seem to embarrass Republican
who are the open opponents of the polio,
to which the President is pledged, let u
consider the proposed union upon its merits
, Is it expcdient, and will it promote tn
public welfare, to unite with the Rcpubli
can party upon the principles of the legs
lative address and resolutions, for tn
purpose of defeating the Democratic part
of this State at the approaching election
That is the question.
A year ago when the country was i
imminent danger the Republicans Of Ne,
York and OF other States invited Demo
Gratis and all other loyal men to lay asid
partizan controversy and unite with then
in the support of the war for tte preServ l.
fi0n Of the Constitution and UAloa. n
other motive or purpose for the war wa
then heard from the leaders of the Repub
lican party or indeed in any quartz
having the slightest influence upon publ
opinion,

EEAD IT.-In another column we print
the able and searching letter Of Judge
DUER of New York on the state of the
Unior. Judge DUER is an old line whig
having no natural sympathics with the
Democracy-But his patriotism and lis
loyalty force him to admit that the DEM
ocratic party is the only hope of the coun'
try.
BY the late bargain and sale in New
York of which Judge DUER speaks, the
committee threw DANIEL s. DICKINSON
overheard. He quits them and returns to
the democracy wiser man than when he
left year ago.
So DIR. JoHN, in relation to the letter
of Col. WRIGHT, does Rot hesitate to call
him "FOOLISH' for not going into the
abolition crusade. The DR.. is in and he
thinks that every body else ought to be-
Go it "niggers."
Col WRIGHT and Mr.. DICKINSON have
seen the end Of the elephant, and they are
Wiling to return to the bosom of that par
= which is 'for the Union and the Con-
-tution."

direct power the nerves, neither narcotic
nor anodine, that relieves pain, in manner pecu-

MILLIONS OF BOXES

OF the FOREST PILLS have been used, with the
most happy results. Letters and certificates from
every part of the Union and British Colonies,
testifyng to the good effects, and the cures of
thousands from their efficacy, have been received.
READERl l never knew single instance where
the FOREST PILLS have been taken according to
the directions but they produced the most decided
benefit. Even in old standing complaints, where
the patient persevered in them for reasonable
length of time, they have effected cure IN every
instance which has come to my knowledge. 1t
should be understood that the FOREST PILLS are
not made from common drugs, as alother pills are,
but that they are prepared from the medicinal viz
tues of certain plants, which nourish and purify
the blood as food does the body. | will mention,
for example, three of these plants which are well
known: DANDELI0N, YELLOW DOCK, and
SARSAPARILLA. The others are found growing
wild in the forests and their medicinal properties
are ten times more effective than those 1 have
named. Were it not for making known the secre
of valuable discovery, | would not hesitate Il
give their names. Suffice it to say, that the midi
cnal efficacy of one of those was discovered from
its cure of horrible of Scrofula in about thre
weeks time

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Clasp the hands meekly over the still

Closed is the ear .aliko to loves kind
voice and calumny's singing whispers.

ruthlessly planted thorn if from that
pleading eye you have carelessly turn
cd away; If your loving glance, and
kindly hand, have come--all too late
then God forgive! No frown gath
ers on the marble brow as you gaze
no scorn curls the chisseled lips-no
flush of wounded feeling mounts the
pTue-vprrru -em res.
God forgive you! for your feet too
must shrink appalled, from deaths cold
river-your faltering tongue ask, "Can
this be death ?" Your saddening eye
hnger lovingly on the sunny earth !;
your clammy hands yield their last fee

no words of greeting from a sisters

Alas for life if this be all,

How Horses Should be shod.

A recent issue of the american Stock
Journal contains most valuable arti-
Gle on this subject. Young horses, the
writer says, if shod at all before four
or FIVE years old, should have the shoes
taken off and reset as often as once in
three or four weeks. The hoof should
be kept pared at the heel so that the
frog may come to the ground. This
keeps the frog moist and healthy, ard
has tendency to spread the heel and
keep the foot in the natural shape. The
soft and healthy frog acts as cushion,
and saves the foot from damage while
the animal travels upon hard roads. 1t
also keeps the foot in q healthy state.
ard is therefore of grea. importance TO
the value of the horse. If the heel is
suffered to grow down, the frog be.
comes dry am, bony, and when Il
comes in contact with stone or other
hard substance, the horse cripples and
subsequently becomes lame. When
the hoof grows down long at the heel,
it becomes dry and contracted, and the
horse stands upon his toes in an unnat-
ural and straining position. The frog,
however ragged, should not be tonched
by the shocr's knife. To avoid raising
the heel so that the foot must come to
the ground in an unnatural manner,
the shoes should he of the same thick
ness at the toe as at the heel.
When the foot is properly pared, the
shoe should be made to fit it so perfect.
Fly that the outside crust of the hoof
will not have to be cut down to fit the
shoe. The shoe should not be opened
at the heel wider than the hoof, as this
has a tendency to crowd in and con-
tract the foot at this point; but if the
outside of the shoe is brought in even
with the outside of the hoof, it has the
opposite effect. The hoof should new
err be rasped or filed above the clinches.
nor the natural enamel, which is given
to it for some wise purpose, disturbed.
Fancy shoers-from all of whom, good
Lord, deliver us-aro too much in the
practice of rasping, filing and sandpa-
pering the hoof to make it look nice.
without ever thinking that they are do
ing it all injury that is beyond their
power to repair.

Right along, right along,
Right along onward,
Crowded the Sick Brigade
Nine or ten hundred.

Though they had no reason why.
Tsaeirs but to push and try;
Into, tbe Doctors shop
Surgsd the ten hundred.
Skulkers 70 front oft.
Skulkers in rear of it,
Skulkers surrounded it.
Clamored and thundered;.
Deaf to all sense of shame.
Great strapping fellows came
Asking Exemption, all,
Nine or ten hundred.
Oh, what a crowo was there.
How their groans rent the arr,
And every man I'D swear
He was disabled
Some had an ache or PAIN,
Some bad bruise or sprain,
Some couldn't stand the rain,
All were enfeebled.
Rudy with health were they,
Limbs in full active play,
Right at the door they drove,
Every man numbered;
Crowding and struggling there.
Gasping for want of air..
How they did stamp and swear,
Gallant ten hundred.
Honor the Sick Brigadel
Honor the charge they madel
Charge on the doctors slop,
Onward, right onward
Long shall the tale be told.
Yes when our babes are Old
How they strove onward.

TO THOSE WHO THINK.

Now, we hold that all external remedies act ell
Their in one of two WAYS, combine the action OF
both. FIRsT-They act directly upon the nervous
system without touching the blood vessels : the
liniments, &C., &C., belong to this class and con-
sequenty only benunab the ends of the nerves. with
out affecting at all the circulation.-may tempo
rarily stop pain-but have not the slightest effect
in restoring the equilibrium of circulation, essen
tial to healthy action. Or, SEcoNDLY-They act
upon the blood vessels without, as in the case OF
depletives (Leeches Cups regard to the nervous
system. Now, the fact is-that, the nerves pre-
side over the blood vessels and external appli-
cation to be effective, must act upon both nerves
nd
