liberty of giving you a sketch of the proceedings
as They really transptfetri still not as they are rep- -

Urinated in the business of the meeting. All the
wittily boasing of the Pennsylvanian on this sub
ject is absurd. Tho irrepressible joy of the editor
of that sheet i.l his nine long columns of report,
arose from the tact that the uncorrupted masses of
the party allowed them to hold their meeting 'at all,
for they had pretty moth made np their minds to
be served aetheir brother hunkers were at Tamma
ny Hall a week previous. But the party remem
bered the adage, " give e man rope enough and
he will hang himself," and so they were allowed
to go on .
The report of the Pennsylvanian will give you
a pretty fair idea of the speeches as well as the
resolutions.- Some of the speeches, however, were
more disgustingly vulgar and more decidedly pro
slavery than their reports would make it appear.—
Indeed, hail one suddenly dropped from the donde
into the midst of the meeting and heard the speech

or Savannah at a gathering of the "chivalry" of
the hottest Calhoun stamp, but for the one excels ,
Lion that the said "chivalry" are 'seldom very vul

tieitber of which could be said of all the speakers
at the present meeting.

prop:gaud ists than be. The district at thelate elec.
non literally '• spewed him out of its mouth,"—=l
would not use die phrase it it were not mit ipture,—
with utter disgust. Ilecould not have obtained the
shadow of a nomination, and therefore wisely de
clined. The nominee of the party, who was con
sidered less objectionable lost his election by stand
ing shilly-shally on the slavery question, and the
freemen of tpe district elected a derided free-soil
Whig. Brown has always been an expediency
democrat and a mirs:leatler of the party. All his
business relations and pecuniary interests are with
the south. , Ile owns lands in Virg,inia, but wtseth
er he is a slave-holder or not, I do not know. In
taking the chair he harped Upon the out string of
" the union in danger, 1 ' and bad the unblushing
audacity to prate about " human rights " vrfsile he
exhorted his bearers to help the South in extend
ing slavery from the Dlississippi to the Pacific.
The resolutions were read and the crack speech
of the evening made by that "bunker of the hun
kers" Col. James Page. The reamed speech of
this gentleman is milk and water compared with
the speeches really given. It was too strong even
for the coibmos of the Pennsylvanian and the re
porter has charitably : diluted it. It was a tissue of
low abuse of " abolitionists couched in the moot
vulgar teams, of the most watched appeals to the
ignorant prejudices and brutal passions of his au
dience, calculated to convert them, if they had
sympathised with him, into a ferocious mob,—and
all delivered, with - Most extravagant violence of
4esticulation, in a high, erpteakingfahrtto voice.—
It is not easy to conceive this curious effort, with
out having heard it. Any southern
. gentleman
would have been ashamed of its matter, and any
unfledged orator-of the bar who piles the agony
on assault and flattery cases in Aldermen's offices
would have been ashamed of the manner. lie
told the same fruitless anecdotes wi.h which I re
member him to have afflicted the ward meetings
of our party fifteen or twenty rein ago, and seem

who would "manufacture public opinion"—and
vet the mee ing at which he spoke was the bold

seen some strange political events.
The other speakers I will pain in rapid review.
John Cadwalader has always been a Democrat
nominally, bees-Ise he has agreed -with the party
on the Bank question. fib hairno sympathy with
the masses, its as cold as lead to the great carese of`
radical democracy, and has not a' fibre in his heart
that thrills with the wweli-words of humanity and
progress. He 'poke as a comfottlilite conservative
lawyer might be expected

books acknowledge slavery—therein° slavery is

We are all very sung and nice as we are. Slavery

pith of his whole speech. . Robert Tyirt,—" my ,

crash that would have beeciremendons, had it
been anything more than the collapse of a wind
bag. As it Was, the unfortunate Sheriffs deputies
lost their cue, and, becoming confused, applauded
loudly in the wrong placer. He was followed by
B. II Brewster, (well known ass disciple and
firm adherent of Simon Cameron,)' who awn Instil

position that be stood there to defend the rights of

The resolutions you can judge for yourself. They
are utterly contemptiole in their spirit of substervi- .
eticy to the slave-power. It was not believed here
that the Hunkers who controlled the meeting would
dare to blink the California question, but they have
done it. This gives great dissatisfaction here.—
Depend upon it. they have not 'the sympathy of
one man in ten of the democratic masses in our
city and county. You will soon hear something
from this quarter. Before another week the true
opinion of the democracy of Philadelphia will find
a voice. It may end in a disruption similar to that
in New York, but if it does, the te•per.sibility must
rest with those who enticarorexl to reduce the par•
ty into a false attitude in order to prop the falling
cause of James Buchanan. You may consider the
standard of insurrectioc against Old Hunkerisrn

Philadelphia, tab• 23d, 1830.
Ir on fpreso.
Little of public interest ha. been transaeteJ in
Congress, during the past week.
On Tuesday an exciting scene occurred in the
Senate between Col. BEZITON and Gen Foovz
The' latter has taken every occasion to hector and.
worry " Ohl Bullion," for die purpose of provoking
him to a fight. Hitherto, he hal excited' only si
lent contempt, but on the present occasion the Col.
seemed somewhat disposed to put an end to the
matter. What may grow out of it, We cannot fore.
tell—Betcmx undonbtedly will not fight him, bat
Fartanwr may deem it his duty to interfere, inas
much as reflections were cast towards him.
In the House, on the same day, PoEssrox Xisc
charged Speaker Coaa, with altering,the journal to

ly thirrysearo am a neighler of Dir. bawls; hies
known Dr Oe orge Parknaan since 1922; acquain
tance began when I was a student with Dr. John
IRonde'; base teen hili filthily dentiot shire 11125.
I had a Huck of teesh shown ele. _ f did' rem:mite
mem as a set of teeth that I had made for M. Park.
man in 1846. ( flee teeth were handed to the wit.
nes..) These are the same block which were
shown td me Slid I reengt:izeil.
By the courres•Btate how. Dr. Parkman's month
was peculiar, in one respect, iu the relation of the
ripper to the lower jaw, it was so pecu,liar that it
made an impression npon my mad. I remember
the peculiarities with great esaetness. The circum
stances eunneeted with these two sowiew were
somewhat peculiar. The creation asked me by
Dr Pat km's), when the teeth were about to be or.
tiered. was how long while it takes to make them j.
and .he reason - why he asked, he 'said, that the
Medical College was to be open en a cenein day,
when he should went new teeth, and he did nut
want to order them, unless he could hare them by
that day, that time was rather shod; the pecul
ties of the month made it a difficult reqniring
much skill ; I began Raman aspossible, feud a large
part of my alien to it from day today ; saw him
frequently while the work' was in progress, and in
consequence of the shortness of the. time, and. the
dose attention to it, I remember the facts more dis
tinctly than in ordinary cases; I proceeded to take
the ordinary impressions; the first Step is to get an
exact facsimile of each javr,'or an impression, which
is the same thing; it is done by soft wax retained
in metal, applied to the jaw ; when the wax is cold,
it is taken out, and liquid plaster poured in, which
makes an exact copy. of the law /the wit:miss
shciwed a plaster cast of Dr. P.'s lower jaw;] there
were then four natural teeth in this jkir an three
roots or`stumps ; the natural teeth were cut off; the
next step is to make a tae simile of zinc Or brass
from the plaster ca -t, by means Of casting ...nil
the neat step is to put a son metal upon the part. of
the former that is used; then to get - a male or le.
male copy or die knit punch, belween which the
gold plate was to be fitted by strikinr, the witness
showed a trial plate of copper which was thus struck
and applied to Dr. P:6 mouth: ; this- plate is used
to decide how long the gold plat, should go i the
witness also showed a trial plate for the upper jaw ;
the witness then went into a minute technical ex
planation of the mode in which he obtained the ro
tation between the upper and lower jaw, so as to
make the upper and lower teeth fit each. other, as
well as each set to fit the gums: he, in tact, went
into a regular lecture on practical dentistry in gene
ral, as well as in this case, which would not be un
derstood without the phtterus he illustrated it, the
great irregularity of the.left side of the lower yaw of
Dr. P. occasioned much trouble in fining. The up
per teeth of Dr. P. were in. three blocks, but not
made whole like the other, in eonsegoence of the
natural teeth, whirls remained on the left side of
the lower jaw. Both blocks were buck teeth ; the
three blocks werealf a:flair:al to one gold plate.
which complete-lE4e tipper set ; there were spiral'
sprite's, which enabled the , wearer to open and
dwells mouth with less danger; of the teeth being
dira;*4 than without them. The teeth were fastened to the pfete by phitina
pins and not geld ravermentibtor thkt Merely as a
fact, as be remerrhereri. Witemirplihwed the mbd
rl the opper!sorfacea of the teeth, showing theit
length.
Owing to an accident chick uappKntd Co one of
the teeth, it was necessary to have another made,
which made it necessary for the a inicsa and his as.
sistati t to work all night; before the Medical Cul
lege opened. We finished the teeth in season, and
had just 30 minutes to spare.
Vs the teeth were in the month, he had just
thirty minutes to get to the Wdical College; vire
only cut off the natural teeth in the millet to make
it easier to get it out of the sand. When 1 next
saw the Dr. he remarked that he did not seem to
have room e n ough for his tongue. Toobviatethat
difficulty, I grou rd ..off the lower jaw so asto give
more room for his tongue ; the teeth being on the
plate it was difficult to do this, and necessary_ to
grind on a very small Wheel: this grinding remov
ed the pink color which was employed to represent
. the gums and the enamel ; the beauty of it was de
faced ; the shape left by the grinding Was peculiar,
because of its being ground on a. very small *heel.
I saw Dr. P. occasionally, till such slight altera
tions as were needed were made; the last time that
I saw him in relation to his teeth, was about two
weeks previous to his disappearance; he called
late in the evening, having broken a. spring ; this
was abotg ocloek at mule ;it so happened, that
being unwell I bad retired tor the night; die per
son who went to the door, seeing it was Dr. Park
man, asked him in, and came up and told me; I
sent wont that I would attend to him, and dressed
as soon as I could ; I came down and told him that
I could help hjm—took the teeth, both upper and.
lower, examined them all over, and.put in a 'new
sprang; he stayed about' half is hoar; I had no
more professional ingsiVieWer w it h him. The day
before his disappearance 'be called and' inquired
about a servant Who had lived with- ire; went to
Long Meadow to spend Thanksgivings and return
ed next Monday; had heard of the disappearance
before going.
t On my return, Dr. Lewis presented . to Me these
ti poriioun of mineral, saying he was reqtested to
, bring them to me far esamination. On lonising at
them, I recognized them to be the same teeth that
I had made for Dr Parkmin. That portion Which
composed the jefi ride of the jaw we, the most per
feet. I recognized the slope of die outline tin the
same that I had labored. (Witness was much of
.feeted here.) Several other portions, much inutile
ted by exposure to fire. On comparing the left
lower block with the model from which these teeth
were male,- the resemblance was PO striking.
[much affected here also.],and clear, that I could,
!show where they belonged.
The upper jaw blocks are divided in many
vest the lower block is almost entire; the front be
low is indentified, nod the block which remains
too match ininred to be identified, must belong to
the remains texcluded by the Court I , Five blocks
have been found, counting one pie d which ad
. heres, besides another pieta found in the cinders,
which may noe have been a ration of the block.—
rhe platioa pins which adherels' the teeth, were
soldered to the I tete ;•dirl not go quite tithe plate.
Dr. Keep, itt his testimony, said that he knew
,the teeth withom comp:wing them with the mould.
He stated the order of the natural teeth that remain•
ed in Parkman's head", and it sqreed with the root
of a natural tooth that was friend adhering to the
!block of mineral teeth ' - the knot teeth are not in
lured ; somewhat melted by intense heat.
Dr. Noble, sworn —) assisted: Dr. seep in work
ing on Dr. Parkman's teeth. Fi r e then gave a full
description, acrd" the labor performed on them.
Dr. Nobiereengnised the teeth in Court as those
on which belied- oinked for Dr. Parkman. He
was very pesiive in his recognition of the teeth—
reccvnizin."m them by the general con fi guration, by
a hole which is the place where tve usually make
them : and by the grinilit ft e. of the gam inside:
having remembered seeing Dr. Keep grind them.
I ha-re not the slightest doubt but that this is the
same Work that I worked on for Dr. Piritanan.
Dr. Jeffers Wyman, a proles:rot, who had charge
'oldie bones found in theluntam, testified at length.
His *raj:pony was WWI* chemical. The witness
was shown some slippers, on which were spots of
