Mr. Buchanan's Inangnrai-•.What
they way of it.
The inharmonious character of the opposi
tion to the Democracy is very forcibly illus
trated, by the different and conflicting views
its leaders entertain and express of Mr. Bu
chanan's Inaugural. J.:Watson Webb,orte of the
most talented and influential shriekers, in the
late canvass "approves very cordially of the
Inaugural" and " holds with Mr. Buchanan
that it is the right. of the people in every
State to institute or reject slavery at their
pleasure ; and if the people of Kansas when
organizing their State government decide in
favor of slavery" he solemnly affirms that he
is " the last man living to olject." This man
Webb was a delegate
.to the- convention
which met at Philadelphia and . nominated
Fremont. lie there favored the• policy of
restricting slavery by' act of Congress. lie
made a speech iu that 'convention and spoke
of the possibility of failing to vindicate the
restrictive policy at the ballot box ; in'which
case, said he " .
will drive it (slavery) bark,
sword in hand, and, so help me God ! be
lieving that to be right lam with them."
This infamous sentiment was applauded by
the assembled conspirators, who looked •to
rebellion-and civil war to'vindicate their foul
heresies, in case 'they could not triumph
by . means of the peaceful, constitutional
weapon, the ballot. We rejoice that the au
thor and promulger of the base and treasona
ble thought has repented; that be has man
linesi enough to confess his error and to ac
knowledge.the jtisticc of the non-intervention
principle enunciated by the Democratic party
and sustained by its representative -in his In-
augural address. But while Webb confesses
his sins, Greely remains stubborn and con
dunes to propagate disunion sentiments. His
opinion of the Inaugural, and the pOsition be
designs his mongrel party to occupy hereaf-
ter, can be ascertained from the following
which appeared, in the Tribune a few dace
after Mr. Buchanan was inaugurated Presi
dent:
"But if Mr. Buchanan is not clear and forci
ble in style, we must admit that the doctrines
of the Inaugural are sufficiently pointed and
distinct. Of these, we come at once to the
expression of a firm 'conviction, blunt as it
may seem, that this Union is not worth say,-
iv, nor this Government worth preserving,
upon the basis of the Inaugural, backed by
the coming decision of the Supreme Court, to
which the President, by intimation; clearly
points."
This indicates that Greely has determined
to openly labor for a dissolution of the Union ;
the mask is thrown off and the hideous char
acter of the beast exposed. Well Meaning
men wbo have hitherto clung to black repub
licanism under the belief that its aims were
patriotic and full of philanthrophy, can now
see how they have been cheated, and how
they have been robbed of their votes, and
made to support
. a policy which - they know
to be treasonable, and which they honestly
condemn. The ravings of the opposition
- Captains about the late decision of the Su
preme Court, and the inaugural of the new
President, will cause many of the rank and
file to desert—the patriotic yeomanry of the
' country, Lave sufficient-common sense, to re
pudiate the; policy, which Greely - and his
confederates would inaugurate, of resistance
to the. constitution, and the interpretation
given it by the highest judicial tribunal of the
land.
.Preaching Against_ the Legal •u.
theritles.
Several times since the organization o
our government, a class of individuals proper
ly. 4enoutitusted political priests, Lave de
nounced inthe !vilest terms the enactments
of the , national legislature, and sought to ez
cite• nesistattei to the legal authoritiei. Du
ring the war of :1812te war waged in de
fence of the intermits and honor of the Repulp
lie, and &rime in its resuita—the New &g
-land States; were especially eursed with these
inceudaries. The Miami convention \ was
the fruit of than- ravings, andtbe dissolution
of the Union, the purpose of that tieitionahle
gathering. Then, as now, they affected to
plead in the =me of 'humanity and religion
—then, as now, the South and slavery *ere
the targets '
at which they aimed their venom-
They impugned the motives of those-in power,
pronounced the war unjust and unholy,
alleged that it was carried' on for the bene
fit of slavery, and braided , as "murderers,"
those who volunteered in its support. But
thanks to the patriotism of the masses, the
clerical' wolves were foiled; the war was
prosecuted to a successfid Tisne, and the
priestly traitors, lived only to be loathed.
Not emir 1854, when a proposition to re
move the Missouri restriction was pending in
Congress, did the clergy of the country make
another important demonstration. This, like
that of 1812, originted in New Fngland ;
but unlike that, it diffused its wicked spirit,
throughout the entire North and threatened to
obtain control of the government. The in
habitants of almost every town and neighbor
' hood in the free States remember with pain
the zealous and active part played by many
clergymen 'in the last canvass. Not only
were their teachings fanatical and calculated
to encourage resistance to the constitution
and laws, but by introducing political sub
, jects into the pulpit they occasioned quarrels,
bickeringa and divisions in religious societies,
the consequences of which are evil. The
popular verdict pronounced by the people
against the "Pathfinder" las a terrible re
buke to clerical politicians; as such they
probably regarded it, because since the result
of the struggle was know they have been
commendably quiet. But the late decision
of the Us S. Supreme Court has set them in
a whirl of passion again, and that august
tribuhal is made the subject of their bitterest
and 'most malignant ' , vituperations. We
notice that Bev.Dr. Cheerer was adveitised
to preach in New 'York last Suiday "on the
judgment of the word of God in condemna
tion of the recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court against the African rate in
this country." We presutine that his exam
ple will be followed by the lesser lights of the
black republican faith, and that a systematic
effort will be made from the pulpits occupied
by political priests, and through th 3 news
papers controlled by inch hypocrites as
I Greeley, to prejudice the-public mind against
the ()Pinion of the court, and to bring the
highest judicial authority - known to the
constitution into . contempt. In some locali
ties a formidable prejudice will be bbilt up, by
misrepresentations of the nature of the dee.is
sion; but no effort of fanatics and traitors,
no matter how bold and persevering, can de
stroy the respect of the American people for
their highest and wisest judicial tribunal.
It is quite natural that Fremont preachers
and Fremont editors should whine and find
fault, with the decision of the court because
it wrecks their fondest hopes, and is as au
thoritative interpretation of the constitution—
an interpretation which upholds the position
I occupied by the Democracy, and places the
black republican phalanx in a rebellious at
titude. No t r ue friend of our governmental
theory will assert that that interpretation
was influenced by political.considerations;
I all who love their country will re,=pect and
abide by it.
It seems to us that the Rev. Dr. Cheever,
instead of laboring to bring the laws into con
tempt, and to excite resistance to them, would
do better to follow the example of the Rev.
Philander Chase, a High Churchman, who
when invited to attend the Ilarttord Conven
t tion and open its sessions with prayer, replied
I that "he knew of no form of prayer for re
bellion." Let him and his black republican
associates teach obedience to the authorities,
and if our political system has errors let them
be removed in a constitutional way. On this
, principle, and this only, can we have security
and tranquility.
Eorro - as.
Commonwealth vs. Nahum Newton.
Fiom the proceedings of the Pennsylvania .
Supreme Court, recently in session
we copy the fallowing
"Chief Justice Lewis, and Justices Lowrie .
and Woodward—The Commonwealth against
Nahum Newton. Opinion by Woodward J.,
and now to wit, March 16th, 1867. This
cause having been heard and fully considered,
it is ordered and adjudged that the proceed
ings of the court of Common Pleas of Sus
quehanna county, in the case of the Com
monwealth va Nahum Newton be reversed,
annulled, and wholly taken for naught—and
is jt further ordered and adjudged that the
said Nahum Nes ton be restored to his rights
and privileges as an Attorney of the several
courts of 'Suequehanna county as fully as he
enjoyed the same before the order of 18th of
April, 1856, was trade."-
Many of our readers will recollect that
about a year ago, Judge Wilmot, ordered that
Mr. Newton be suspended from practice as
an attorney, in the several courts of this
county. The order of suspension •was the
product of a difficulty between the Judge
and Mr. N., occasioned by the neglect of the
latter to obey a subpena, issued by Wilmot,
as commissioner to take said Newton's depo
sition. Wilmot construed said neglect into a
contempt of court, & thereupon made the order
of suspension. The course of Judge Wilmot
was regarded by many at the tune as tyranni
cal and influenced by passion,—whether this
be the case or not, the Supreme Court have
annulled the order and restored Mr. Newton
to his rights. It would certainly be danger
ous to vest an inferior court with power- to
strike from the' roll; at pleasure, any attor
ney with whom it happens to be at variance.

Resolutions of The Democratic
State Convention.
The following are the resolutions adopted
by the Democracy of this State, assembled
in Convention at Harrisburg, March 2d.—
They hare the ring of the true metal in
them
Resolved, That, as representatives of the
great party founded by Jefferson, we sa
lute our political brethren of the other States
with congratulations upon the auspicious and
just result of the. recent Presidential election
achieved by our united efforts and sacrifices,
(with the aid of patriotic men heretofore at
tached to other political bodies) and necessa
ry;as we believe, to the honor and prosperity
of onr common country,"and the continuance
amongst us of the blessings of good gov
ernment.
Resolved, That the course of recent politi
cal action in the American Union has clearly
shown the usefulness and necessity or our
party, as a great conservative organization,
able to resist and put down extreme and im
practnble theories of government and social
order; to preserve the Constitutional com
pact between the Statesjfrom loose and dan
gerous constructions, as well' as or ‘n viola
tion; to hold in check the passions of the
country when directed by local excitement or
other. Cause, against i fundamental points of
our political system, and to preserve to our
selves, and to those whQ come after as, the
rich and invaluable legacy of free and well
ordered institutions established by our fath
ers.
• Rescind, Thafto the existence and effici
ency of our party, adbeteneei to its rules and
usages is essential, and that right reason and
experience prove that without:web adherence.
division, disaster and defeati are inevitable;
all departures, therefore, froM our party laws,
in State or local action, are to be deprecated
and resisted as evitlently fraught with ele
ments of danger,injury and evelual destruc
tion.
Resolved, That on behalf of the Pennsviva
nia democracy, in addition to the re-atiirm
ance of our past principles and policy, we
announce as rules for our tutute action, the
limitation of public expenditures to moderate
and necessary outlay ; the sparing and care
ful grants of corporate power, the enactment
of laws to public opinion, rather than in ad
vance or in contempt of if, occasional and
prudent amendments of the Constitution as
experience may demonstrate them to be nec
essary to the welfare and- protection of the
people; the encouragement of virtue and in
telligence as the main support of our politi
cal system ; the rigid accountability of pub
lic servants, and the cultivation of just and
amicable relations with our sister States,with
out subserviency to the passions. or policy of
any of them, but with frank concession of the
i.onstitutional rights of each. These are
grounds upon which, as heretofore; we pro
pose to maintain the character of our Com
monwealth, as a free, powerful and illustrious
member of the American Übion.
.Resolved, That we recommend to the sup
port of f the people the candidates nominated
by this as men of character and
experience, well qualified for the posts. to
which they have been respectively nathed, in
the full assurance that if elected, they will
discharge their official duties with intelli
gence, fidelity and success..
Risolved, That we Congratulate the Dem
ocratic party and the country upon the trium
phant election of James Buchanan and John
C. 13reckinridge, to the Premdency and Vick
Presidency of the United States; and that in
view of the whole political history of Mr. Bu
chanan, rendered memorable by his steady
and patriotic adherence to the Constitution
and to the maxims of its fathers, we, the rep
resentatives of the Democratic party of the
state, in full Convention assembled, do most
confidently pledge to onr brethren of the
Union, a wise conservative and constitutional
administration of the government, under the
guidance of the first Pennsylvania President:
Resolved, That in the Into proceedings
which resulted in the election of Simon Cam
eron to the U. S. Senate, the opposition to
our party openly and shamelessly exhibited
their lack of high principles of honor, their
contempt. for the known- sentiment of the
people, and their utter disregard of the char
acter of the State, and together with the
three apostates from our own party by whose
aid the - result was accomplished, should be
every where denounced by all men of virtue
and honor.
Mr. Cessna then moved to add the follow
ing which was adopted.
.Resolved, That the thanks of the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania are dae and
are hereby tendered to Col. J. W. Forney,
for the ability, energy and consummate tact
exhibited by him in discharge of the duties
which devolved upon him in the late Pies
idential campaign as Chairman of our State
Central Committee, and although defeated
by the basest treachery, he still occupies an
eminent position in the great heart of the
Keystone Democracy.
The Resolution was adopted by acclama
tion.
Speech of Gen. Packer.
The following is the speech of William F.
Packer, our nominee for Governor, delivered
to the Convention after his nomination. It
is manly and decided; and sets forth in no
equivocal terms the principles be has at heart.
"The Union—the Constitution—the equality
of the States—the equality of classes---reli- ,
gious liberty, and the right of the people to
enact their own laws," are noble objects, the
same as were endorsed by the Democrats in
the last contest, and have always been main
tained by them in every stage of their exist
ence as a party. Mr. Packer said :
"Mr. President and Members of die Con
vention—for me to assure you, sir, and the
delegates here assembled, that I am thankful
for the high honor conferred-on me, would 'be
bat faintly to express the profound feelings of
gratitude which I entertain. To be selected
under any circumstances as the candidate of
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania, for the
j highest office in its gift, is a mostdistinguish
ed honor ; but, sir, how vastly ii that height
ened when such a mark of confidence is be
stowed after an exciting contest, and after
coming in contact with gentlemen so distin
guished, so honorable, and so worthy as were
my competitors on this occasion.
In accepting the nomination, Mr. President,
I confess I would be discouraged were it not
for the reflection that the Democratic battal
ions in marching onward to victory look less
to their standard bearer, than to the flag of
their party—that good old flag which for
eighty yeses has "braved the battle and the
breeze;—and upon whose folds are emblazon
ed, in letters of living light :
The Union—the Constitution ;
- The equality of the States;
The equality, of classes ;
Religions-liberty--the right of every man
to Worship God according to the dictates of
kit 9 1 01/ fAMCience.
The right of the people, in every govern-
ment, to enact their own laws.
That flag, Mr. President, was dear to our
fathers who have gone before us, and around
it the Demoaracy will rally with that enthu
siasm which has heretofore, and will, I hope;
again in October next, be crowned - with glo
rious victory.
Pennsylvania has just placed one of her
own distinguished sons in the highest office
in the world --tomorrow he will enter upon
the discharge of his official duties—what a
burning shame it would be, if at the first
general election after his elevation the Dem
ocratic party should fail to sustain his admin
isti ation. For my own part, in assuming the.
position assigned the by your partiality, I
promise you, that so far as I have ability, the
campaign shall be so conducted* as at least to
reflect no discredit upon this Convention or
upon the Democratic party.
Gentlemen, again I thank you for the dis
tinguished honor you have confered upon
me.

SECOND DESPACTIL
Bt - FrAt.o, March 13.
We learn the foll Owing particulars of the
railroad accident at Hamilton, C. W., from a
gentleman who left the scene of disaster this
morning. The accident occurred on the
Great Western Railway, at the .bridge over
the Des. Jardines Canal, which is elevated
some sixty feet above water. The bridge
swings, and his supposed the train which
passed for the East a sluirt titinv,hefore, had
sunk the bridge so much tihii-ttotheomotive
of this train wasobstructed r hyliekibUtment
to suet' a degree that the p*itir' e ng4r ears were
raised up and thrown into ttifikaanal. •
• The train was the !Veal accommodation
from Goron to Hamilton, mid lett Toronto at
4 o'clock yesterday . afternoon. The number
of passengers was estimated at from si,venty
five to one hundred, of whom only fifteen
were taken alive froM the wreck, and of these
five have since died. The water in canal
is eighteen feet deep and pearly . all of those
aot-immediately killed were drowned.. The
engine and tender with the engineer andfire
man, were pitched' headlong into the Canal,
and are,b ur i e d twenty teet_below 'the surface.
The baggage ear and two passenger cars are
completely shattered, and one of the latter
turned hollow side upwards and nearly sub
merged.
• When our informant, arrived this morning,
the parties were still busy in extricating the
bodies from the wreck. In an outhouse ad
joining the Station house at Hamilton, about
fifty or sixty corpses of men, women and chit
dren were laid on one fluor. No inquiry into
the came of the accident had yet been held.
Most of the passengers were froth Hamilton,
Toronto, and the adjoining towns. Samuel
Zimmerman, of Niagara Fails, Isaac Buchan
an; of Hamillun, Vice President of the Road;
Capt. Twohey, a popular commander on Lake
Ontario. are among the victims.
A s
Only one of the Ladypassengers was - rsavcd,
and she was considerably, cut and bruised . .-
A German lad, in the hind car, seein g the'
conductor hastily reheating to the back door,
took alarm and followed him, and the
conductor and two others sere the only ones
who waned with trifling injuries.
Mr. C. J. Brydges, the Managing Director
of the Great Western Rail way, and Dt: Mack
lem and Mr. Th6mas Street, 'of Chippewa,
were on the train, and 'although considerably
injured, escaped with their lives. The follow
ing is a . list of the bodies recognized, up to
this morning. Donald Stuart, Rev. A. Boak
er, the father of Mayor Beaker, Erastus W.
Green, and a little girl, the daughter of Mr.
J. IL Clark, all of Toronto; James Gannon
and Thomas Beason, of P o rt H o p e ; John
Sharp, Bookbinder, 'A. Grant, Mr. Russel, of
the firm of Mellest, Merrill & Russell, of
Brantford Joseph. Barr, of Chicago, and
John o.llenderson, of Hamilton. In one of
the company's buildings lay the bodies of
sixteen men, two women and one child, and
of these but three were `recognized—Edward
Duffield, Rev: Dr. ileisse and John Morley.
The remains of Zimmerman will be taken to
his residence at Niagara Falls, this afternoon.
He was in the baggage_ car at the time of the
accident. •
The Recent Elections.
The "sober second thought"' of the people
(says the Washington Union) was never dis
played in a mote striking - and satisfactory
manlier than in the recent State election in
New 'Hampshire, and the town elections in
Maine and New York. It 'would seem that
the season of political excitement, stimulated
to the wildest and maddest extent by fanat
ics and demagogues, is nearly at an end, and
that that portion of the people who have for
a time been led away by fake lights and false
teachers are slowly but surely returning to
the old land-marks, and renewing their Cov
enant with a party through which alone the
constitution can be upheld and the Union
preserved. It is true that in New Hampshire
a complete Democratic triumph has not
been achieved; but, the result, as far as ascer
tained, conclusively shows that . the Black
Republi cans of th e State have been shorn of
their strength, and that it' will not require
many more trials before her Democracy will
recover her former strength and supremacy.
The result of the town elections of New
York is more decided, and gives promise of
an earlier victory for the popular cause. In
the towns which gave President Buctlimss
majoritieelast November,- those majorities
have been largely increased. A considera
ble number of the Black Republican strong
holds have been carried by the exuAnt Dem
ocrats. Nor is . this 'all. In many towns;
where a complete fusion took place between
the Black Republicans and Know-Nothings,
the Democrats achieved a brilliant triumph,
in spite of the coalition. The New York Ex
pen, (Know Notbing,) in its isaire of MeA.
day last, makes the following_candid admiss
ion :
"In the Express to-day is a pretty full ao
count of the political affairs iq many of the
New York connties---with comments of
-oth
er journals thereon.
" These returns show, not that Black Re
publicanism is all run out, but that it is run
ning out as fast as it caw. We shall bear
but little of it after the-nest, November elec
tion, beyond the old Abolition ranks. Its
leaders will either want some neyr bumbug,or
file off into the old parties. ' •
" &amine the returns elsewhere."'
In 'the State of Maine we. ,have - precisely
the same results, under precisely the same
circumstances.
Let the Pemocracy of Connecticut,in their
struggle next month, take courage from a
recollection of the successes which' have re
cently attended the exertions of their breth
ren in Maine, New Hampshire and New
York.
Bagging Kilkenny -Cats.
The various divisions. of that large and re.
spectable mass of individuals wVo are yclept
the " Opposition". to the Democratic'
party,
are beginning to pow-wow extensively,. in
view of the coming State contest. There are
thrje grand classes of the "Opposition :"
First, there are the pure, high-toned, straight
out-Americans, such as voted the "straight
tiilet" last ld!, and of whom the Daily
News is the organ. Second, there are the
pure, high-toned, st-aight-but Republicans,
Many of whom dislike " Americanisin," and
;ill of whom make the Slavery queition the
main issue. - Third, thew is a very large mass
of " betwiit and between," who are more or
less Free-Siiilish on the Slavery question, and
who are less Nativists on the 'Naturalization
Question. This third division includes the
North. American and most, of last fall-Union
Fillmore men.
Mr. Chalks Gibbons, Chairman of the Re
publican State Committee, called a Republi
can State Convention, tb meet at Harrisburg,
on the `2sth of this month,-to make State
nominations. Mr. Gibbons sticks to his call,
but was induced to 'call a - meeting of the
State Committee at Harrisburg.. What od
ctored-in Commatee we know not.; bat its
straight-outism seems
. to have been a little
wilted and bent by contact with the Ara:.
-Americans and " Union Fillmore" members
of the Legislature. For, a day or two after,
appears a "cal!," signed by most of. the Op
positiOn members. fur a Union State Conven
tion, to meet on the 25thinstant, at the State
House. in Ilatrisberg,.• It looks as if straight
ItepublicaniSm were out-witted. For the
pure I:epublican.Delegates, when they go to
Harrisburg, will naturally mike their way to
the State House, and there they will find
themselves in the midst of a "Union Conven
tion." The " Union" isa queer specimen of
wide-net fish catching. It summons all who
"oppose the extension of slavery"—that is a
bait for Republicans all who are opposed to
" other equally obnoxious measures of the in
coming Adtninistration"—thAt means - that
the Convention is not to be too Republican
for " Natiotial" folks, and is a bait for
.any
stray Whigs, and such like, as may he hist in
the woods ; all who are "opposed to a Union
of Church and State," to" the exclusion of the
Bible from the S . chools." and to "Election
Maui's." These latter clauses read like an
invitation to everybody, and are. - about as
wide embracing as would be a call for a
.Convention of all who are in favor of water
'running down hill. But the real meaning is
that all "Americans may come in if they will,
anti also all Germans and Protestant. Irish.
Meanwhile the various divisions are begin
ning to cypher. fur their candidates.. Toa
stringht licpublicans are nearly tilkin favor of
nominating David Wilmot for Governor, and
it is pietty certain that he will be the nomi
nee. The Philadelphia Delegates are MI in
favor of \Viltnot, anal no strong man is.liut
up against him The straight .-Americans
talk of Isaac Hazlehurst, Henry D. -Moore,
and gentlemen of that School of politics, but
they Will be nowhere in the Convention. The
"Betwixt and Betweens" are pressing Samuel
A. Purviance, of Butler, Gen. J. K. Moorhead,
of Alle7henyl‘and Gideon J. Ball, of Erie.—
But Wilmot will get the nomination, unless
he declines it.
There will be, a considerable contest in the
Conventton or United Coin . •entions over that
new-a-days important matter—a platforin.
The pure Republicans, believing . that they
are the" party of • the Future," and flushed
with their heavy vote In the Free States, will
oppose the insertion of any distinctive
"American" planks. The German Republi
-cans of this City have already shown their
teeth•at such a prospect, and - denounce .the

Holloway's Pak—Chronic Dyspepsia
Cured.—Among the triumphs of this won
.derful medicine over confined - diseases of the
stomach and epigastrium, the following is
not the least remarkable. Edward Stillman
aged 51, residing at aagarstown, Md., had
been for eleven years a sufferer from indiges
tion and its painful concomitants. Ilis ap
petite was irregular, his "frame emaciated, his
skin of a livid, unhealthy hue, and he had a
constant feeling of constriction at the pit
the stomach, as if a cord were being drawn
tightly around it. le was.constantly in a
state of great mental as well as bodily dis
tress, and, to use his own expressions " life
had become irksome to him." In the month
of December last be commenced taking Ilol
oway's Pills. Within three weeks thereafter
all the above symptoms had vanished. _No
relapse has since occurred, and he is now, as
robust and-active as any.man of his years in
all• Maryland, For disorders - of the stomach,
liver and bowels, the Pills are the only , relia
ble remedy in existence.

GENTLEMEN have just Received a
copy of the Sunday Mercury containing the
first of sn intended series on the. Medical
schools of Philadelphia." The wher
having devoted this first article to
the subject of Dental Surgery a 'matter of
course of personal interest to me I send you a
few extracts, which you will much oblige me
by publishing. After giving a historio sy
nopins of the Dental an from first crude
inception and practice by the ancient Greeks
and Egyptians down to our times in which it
become so highly developed and, matured as
to take tank among the schools of science
And . the arts, he proceeds to give a report of
the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery
for the session of 1856-7. Ile also devotes
a paragraph to the description of the improv
ed Mineral Plate. Teeth, as made by Dr."Lu
kens 256 4-2 Arch street which slowi the
estimation in whicp they are held in the city.
It is to.thts paragaph I wish more especially
to call 'public attintion, as I propose -manu
facturing these teeth myself having received
instructions from Dr. Lukens while inyhil•
adelphia. Yours obliged,

ORIGIN;;ROGRESS, PREsINT CONDITION.
The history of public dental instruction in
Philadelphia is brief. The first Ccillege was
instituted five years ago. This Institution
claimed the right of conferring_ hon9rary
grees independently of tin? ,Faculty,, and con
trary to the unanimous protest of the Faculty
Under this assumption of power, Aegrees
were conferred upon individuals, who, eo far
from being distinguished members of-the d=n
tal art, were not even known as . members of_
the profession. The Faculty were unwilling.
to bear the injurious consequences of such
coarse, and unanimously agreed to disband.'
• A new charter was accordingly obtained,
in which there was a clause . expressly pro
hibiting the Board of Trustees front
.ctinf!.l.
ring arty-degree, regular or honorary, , except
at the written reqnest of the Eaculty of the
College.. A new Faculty was at once form
ed, consisting principally. of the Faculty of
the prior College. •
The present Institution, theiefore, has been
in existance less than one year, but appears
to be eminently prosperous. -
The Demonstrator's reports exhibit the fol
lowing results for the sesSion of 1856-7.
Operative Departmen t.—Fi iI i gs, 508 ;

All these operatirons were gratuitously per
formed for persons unable to bear the ordina

• After a 4 cotniAimentary notice of several of
the most eminent operators in the 'city, tl2et
writer says;
Dr. Loomis is the discoverer. and inventor
of the method of tnaking an upper, or lower
set of but one Piece of material, teeth and
plate being solid and of:the same substance.
Manufactured-froni the Cape May Diamond,
and similar substances, as before *mentioned.
The teeth are exquisitely Yeautiful and natu
ral in appearance, and entirely 'free from we
talic tasfe,• They possess the advantage of
-cheapness, durability, cleanliness, and utility'
to' masticating food,and are admirably adapt.
ed to restore the original, shape. The itn
provement has been known in the west for
several years, and has only been introdnced
to•this community recently: It has heen
patented in this country, Great Britain and
-France. It has been abundanrly tes'ted, and
is how receiving the con-ideratiun of our
most influential and scientiliocitizeris, many
of whom now wear them and obi's; them as
the highest perfection of the art in :6'ery
point of view. Dr. Loomis is at prese.twal.l
- we believe, in the West. Dr. Ltikens is
a graduate of Jeffers ni Medical' College, an
excellent operator, and of very 'amiable and
social qualities, industrious and enterprising*.
Mineral plate teeth, after Loomis' patent, are
extensively manclacrured and inserted at his
laboratory and parlors:* .These 'teeth ,have
only to be teen to be greatly admired and
accepted. Dr. Lukens is still quite a young
man, but trust soon win .his way to fortune
and fame.

who, from time to time, during the past few
