KMSOSLL&WV. Jefferson and Calhoun1JY 1$. A. KRYNOLDS. They were men of genius. It was recently remarked, we believe by Hildreth, that there vrere more ideas in the head of Mr. Jefferson than all Virginia at the present moment: and it mav lift k.i!#1 flint Mr ' / ; " ?J.? ? " %,",v 4,t" i Calhoun was so far superior to his cotemporarics, that they were unable to com prebend his political theories, or bin profound analysis of the numerical and concurrent mnjoritic3,which enter into the constitutional governments. If it be asked, where arc the proofs of their genius? AVe reply that the system of government which was ! organized and inaugurated by Jefferson, | jiuu which continued to no the policy ot his parti/.nns down to 1814, is sufficient proof, for lie overthrew the project of consolida- ' ting the government, which had been introduced l?y John Adams and the Federalists, and placed tho general or federal government on the republican track, with a strict construction of the Constitution of the United States for its mainspring of acA: ?m. ? ? nun. i ins was rcauy organizing a perfectly original system of government, and is therefore to lie numbered among the works of genius. And about equal praise is due to Mr. Calhoun. lie perceived, on his accession to the Senate, in I^JkJ, that the government had strayed from the straight path, that it j nau wandered front tlic track which had boon established by Mr. Jefferson, and that our FodeVal Union was fast tending to a consolidation of tho State and Federal Governments, that a great bank had been chartered, which was corrupting the morals of the people; that a vast system o internal improvements was projected, rcq.iiriug immense treasures for its prosecution; and1 that, to acquire this sum, a tariff of pro- I teetion, not of revenue, liatl been created, j by which the people of one portion of the ; Union had been taxed for the benefit of I another. lie declared war against these j measures, and defeated them all, in a so- ! lies of intellectual combats that have had : no parallel in the history of parliamentary ' discussion. The first foe that fell was the | protective tariIV, by the compromise bill of 1883; then the United States Bank went down never to rise again, and the system of internal inmmvnmrmtu mno I A IIIMJ ((MdilUVUCU IU its fate. in destroying those heresies, he restored tho Constitution t< its pristine purity, and imparted to the (lo.eminent its recuperative p jwer. Jn genius, therefore, they stand pre-eminent among the lawgivers of modern times. Nor did they display a lack of ability in re-organizing the Government. ~\\'e have recently noticed the actions of ?j euerson on nis accession to the Presidency, in 1801. We shall not, therefore, repeat them here. But let us ascertain the force of Mr. Calhoun's ability. lie restored Free Trade. He returned to the pockets of the people the money which had been illegally exacted in the shape of tariffs. lie resisted the aggressions of the Abolitionists, whose object was, and is, to desolate, depopulate and destroy the Southern States.

If the purchase of Louisiana was due to Mr. Jefferson, the annexation of Texas was the reward of Mr. Calhoun for his earnest inieresi in tnc prosperity and prospects of that great State. The acquisition of Louisiana augmented the territory of the old thirteen States to twice their original extent, and tho accession of Texas to the Union added a vast region which is capable, and by compact with the Federal Government, ia destined to be divided into four magnificent States.

But hove thoir observations, porhaps their curiosity, have ceased. Yet there ave many who may have often woiulercU what this blooil can bo, which in so necessary to existence. What are its constituents? In whet way is it so indispensable to life? How much is there in a human hotly ? Is there much waste, and if so, how is the waste repaired ? Is the blood all alike? Is the blood of a horse, do^;. or other mere animal, similar to that or a man ? "Wo shall answer these questions in ordor, beginning with the last.

Scionee has analyzed wherein the blood of one animal varies I from that of another, and lias shown tlnit | what experiment linn revealed, can also be [ demonstrated physiogically. Even in the same animal there are two kinds of blood, one called arterial, which rushes from the heart, and the other venoas, which pours into the heart. The first Ik bright scarlet, the last purple.

Thus, it will 1)0 seen, a continual waste and repair j goes on in the human body, of which waste and repair the blood is the instrument. It j has been estimated that, in the course of a j year, tho arteries carry to the various tissues j not less than three thousand pounds weight i of nutritive matter, while the veins bring lllll'W til llimrf mill Innrev l.n - ? from the hitter, us many thousand pounds weight of wasted tissues. Both arterial and venous hlood contain oxygon and carbonic gas, the popular notion to the contrary notwithstanding; but arterial blood contains much the larger proportion ofoxygen. .n their constituent.-*, the gases excepted, there is but little difference between arterial and venous blood. In iv man of avcra^o weight, the ouantitv of blood is about ton pounds. How much of this can bo oxtraetcd, without emitting loss of life, it is difficult always to toll. In tho medical books there is a statement of a hysterical I woman, who was bleil one thousand and | twenty times in nineteen years. A young i man, according to Ilaller, was bled seven pounds and a half* daily for ten da\s, and ' yet survived?a story almost incredible. The chief constituent of blood is water, which forms nearly one-eighth of the whole. Albu men '*ners into its composition in tho pro- ! portion sf seventy parts to a thousand. Sugar, salts, fat and cell matter compose the remainder, the last in the proportion of one hundred and thirty parts to a thousand. These colls or discs, as other* call them, are tlio most curious part of the blood. It would be idle to enter into nn explanation of their composition, as scientific men themselves are not agreed upon the subject. Nor is it possimc, in me present singoot (minim know I I edge, to tell how blood sustains life, except as an instrument anil vehicle to carry on the repair, and remove tie waste, which are indispensable to existence.?Philadelphia Ledger.
