MR.. BLAIR s SPEECH.

We need do no more than direct the attention
of our readers to the speech of the Hon. Mont
GoMERY BLAIR, the Postmaster General as found
10 another part of todays lntelligencer and which
was delivered at the Union meeting held at Rock
vile, near this city, on Saturday last
1t will be seen that in his speech Mr. BLAIR
subjects the revolutionary dogmas of the aboli-
tfonists, which it is now sought to foist upon tie
country in the assumed names Of "loyalty" and
"freedom," to searching analysis, in which he
explcdes their pretensions equally on the grounds
of reason and Of law, while he sets in clear light
their iucompatibility with the pacifcation of our
distracted country and their anagonism to the
declared policy aud purposes Of the President.
We shall take subsequent occasion to recur to
this outspoken denuncistion, directed by a member
of Mr.. LINcoLN's Cabinet to the exposure and
condemnation of the radical doctrines against
which, within our humble sphere, we have felt it
our duty, equally as faithful journalists and as
defenders of the Constitution and the Laws, to
enter earnest and reiterated protests 1t gives
us pleasure to find the voice of authority confirm
ing the justice of the warnings we have addressed
to our readers In depreciation of the infatuated
policy which it was sought to interpoate on that
initiated by the President in the conduct Of the
war.

Frankness is supposed to be common virtue.
1t is most uncommon. 1t is indeed an extraor-
dinary thing. 1t requires truth simplicity, love
and genuine goodness Men speak plainly when
they do speak, but they are not open and free
Many speak pleasant truths frankly; but few
there are whose souls are so balanced in an at
mosphere of love that they speak whatever needs
to be said, to each and to all, plainly, gently,
fully. The dearest friends live together for years
without daring to speak things which they know,
and which each party knows that the other knows.
Parents live with reserve years long towal
Their children. Children carry untouched, unsyl-
labeled, thoughts and feelings that take hold of
their very being. Friends meet and part day by
day-friends so true that they would almost die
for each other, or, what is harder than this, who
are willing to live for each other-and never
speak of things that each knows is passing in the
others mind. 1t is very strange to see people
come up in conversation to topics that by tacit
freemasonry are sacred, and without word or
look one glides past on one side and the other on
the other side, and meet beyond, going down the
common channel again. Was there ever a
thoughtful, sensitive person that dared to be open
transparent, frank But however this may be,
there can be no doubt that people are not frank
enough for each others good. If men know how
to speak the truth in love, how rich might one
become. A man might then stand in the focus
of the wisdom of all bis friends But refusing
to let their lights shine, men now grope in the
partial light of their own wisdom distempered by
self-love

took HIM from US; but | have been thinking ever
since we laid down how poor little Charlie must
be crying for you, and how God gave him to US,
to love him and keep him and now you have
given him away. If He had meant him to be
Mrs. Lorrimer's baby, wouldn't He have given
him to them at first
"The childs words carried more weight with
them than all the arguments of my rich neigh
bors. After considering a moment, said, i'm
pulsively:
"'Oh, if l only had him back, he should never
go away again, no matter how poor we might
be-"
"The moon was shining SO brightly it was
almost light as day, and presently Willie
said :"
"'Mother it's only half mile aeross the fields,
and they won't go to bed fosa long time at Mr..
Lorrimer's let us go and get Charlie Why, moth
er, l seem to hear him crying now
"Urged by the chlds entreaties and the fond
promptings of my heart, consented. l think
never walked half mile so quickly in my life, and
neither of US spoke until we reached the mansion
Then we stopped moment for breath, and sure
enough we could hear baby screaming at the top
of his voice. We went round to the sitting room
door and knocked, They seemed halffrightensd
when they saw who it was, but asked US in polite
ly. A hired nurse was walking with the child up
and down the floor, trying to ?acify it. Mrs

"'Come to mothery' Willie said, and he brought
the little fellow to me at once"
'How he clung to me, still sobbing, yet smiling

al cannot give him up said, at last, when
! could get my voice clear. You must let me
take him home"
"They evidently thought me the siest of wo-
men, but their cold words only made me the more
determined, and we started back in less than half
an hour after we came, l carrying the baby =
Willie offered to help me, but felt as though
could carry him in my arms forever.
"When had laid him in bed, now fast asleep,
but still sobbing, and reaching out his little hands
to feel if was there, said, God helping me,
come what will, l will never part with one
of my living children again., and nerer
did,"
81 need not tell you how wild with Joy the rest
of the children were when they found the baby
in bed next morning they almost fought over
the fellow, and from that day forth it was their
greatest pleasure to amuse Charlie and have him
with them"
"When the affair came to be generally known
many blamed me, and many favors that my rich
neighborS might have done me they withheld,
think, fer my folly, as they called it. But few
poor women like myself that had always nursed
their own children, said l did right. We had
many trials, and often scarcely crust of bread in
the house but our hardships bound us the more
closely together
"All my children proved comforts and blessings
to me. God took care of one for me as Willie
said, we knew that was for the best. The rest
married in the course of time, and left me but
the prop of my old days, the one whose industry
and management gave me this plentiful comfort
able home, has never left me since the day gave
him away.

Our Little One.

There's fresh little mound meath the willow,
Where at even | wander and weep;
There's a dear vacant spot on my pillow,
Where sweet little face used to sleep;
There were pretty blue eyes, but they slumber
In silence beneath the dark mould
And the little pet lamb of our number
Has gone to the heavenly fold.
Do dream when in sleep behold her,
With beauty so fresh and divine,
And 80 close in my arms | eufold her,
l can feel her soft cheek upon mine
Oh so loving these gentle eyes gisten
That my vision is lost in my tears,
And bewildered enraptured l listen
To a voice from the spirits bright sphere.
There's a silence in parlor and chamber,
There's a sadness in every ROOM
We know that the Father hath claimed her,
Yet all things seem burdened with gloom
But I'll not be a cOmfortless mourner,
Nor longer brood over my pain;
For | know where the angels have borne her
And soon l shall see her again.

THOMAS JEFFERsoN's FATHER.-Peter Jeffer-
sons physique is described by Mr. Randall as fol-
lows: He was a man of gigantic stature-plain
and averse to display-he was grave, taciturn,
slow to make and not over prompt to accept ad
vances. He was one of those calmly and almost
sternly self-relying men, who lean on none-who
desire help from none. And he certainly had
both muscles and mind which could be trusted
He could simultaneously "head up'-raise from
their sides to an upright position-two hogsheads
of tobacco, weighing nearly thousand pounds a
piece He once directed three able bodied slaves
to pull down a ruinous shed by means of a rope.
After they had again and again made the eff
fort, he bade them stand aside seized the rope
and dragged down the structure in an Instant
Traditions have come down of his continuing his
lines as surveyor through savage widenesses,
after his assistants had given out from the famine
and fatigue, subsisting on the raw flesh of game,
and even of his pack-mules, when other food
failed.
