SAL 'NG AND Svasruptiro.—Those who
are afflicted with impediments in the speech,
should oaken Dr.ißurdick, who has been
long and favorably known for his success in
Treating diseases of the vocal organ. He
will be at Searle's Hotel in Montrose until
June 7th, to receive and owe those who
may be affiicted - as above; in a short time
and without pain or surgical 'operation. He
has ample testimonies of his ability to do so,
and the folloWing from a gentleroan• well
known in Montrose, shows that. Dr. Burdick's
method of treatment is sure to eett a cure,
even ist_the worst oases:.
Montrose, May 20th, 1859
Ada Enrron sister and brother, one
twenty and the other seven years old at the
time, were formerly very badly afflicted
with stuttering andstreihmering. Some three
years since, they were treated by Dr. Burdick,
who effectually, cured'them in a few hours,
and there has been no difficulty whatever in
their speech since that time. I therefore re
commend those who are afflicted with' im
pediments In their speech -to dotsuit. Pr.
Burdick, who is stopping for a short time in
Montrose. , Yours, respectfully,

A letter from 3. F. Giadings to Hon.
Ralph Plumb, is published in the Cleveland
Leader, which is sufficiently fanatical to open
the eyes of all men of discernment, to the
nature and tendency of Black Republican
abolitionism,and to put people on their guard
against the treasonable:designs of those de
luded and desperate rdsn. Speaking of the
conduct of the Obeulinites now - on trial for re
sisting the United States officers in the rescue
case, be says:
"In disregarding this ,Law, the prisoners
did right. Their error consisted in sparing
the lives of the.slave-catchers. nose pirates
should have. been delivered over to the color:
ed tneu,and consigned to the doom of pirates,
.which should hare been speedily mooted.
You are aware that this is the doctrine I pro
claimed in Congress. I adhere to it. Had
the prisoners executed the slave-catchers
promptly, it would have' :sue:alba Admini

Modern Praise of Democratic
Presidents.
It has always been caitomary fdr the 'op-
Volition leadera to attempt to blacken the
life and services of Our, many Democratic
Presidents; and other prominent statesmen
by the most nuscrupUlous • persecutiob,
hesitating not to employ the most wicked
falsehood and misrepresentation, stooping to
all names of meanness to accomplish their
piratical designs. But after warring against
pricelPle, reason, justioe, iruth,common senso;
and popular opinion until they were left alone
in their glory, they hale invariably battged ::
front, and showered praise. upon the former
victims of their malignity, claiming, in the
face of a record to the contrary, that they are
the simon-pure Jeffersorvian or Jacksonian
Dmocrats, taking care to use that masked
chivracter for the purpose lof opening :: a new
.crusade against .the champions of Democratic
goveraintlat. Thus it ever has been, is, and
doubtless ever will be, thir shortsighted l'op
position," never being po !eased - of stAcient
sagacity or honesty to become convinced
that asDemocratic principle is the-true basis
of a political piny, that i)rinciple and. party
never ought 'to be and , never can be de

Mr. Jefferson, in it letter iDEldridge -Oeriy;
in 1812, when speaking of his political oppo
nents, says: .
"There wts`but a single act of my whole
administration cif : which that party approved.
That was the proclamatioa on the attack of
tbe.Chesapeake. And When t found they
approved of it, I confess I. began strongly .to
apprehend I had done wrong, and to, exclaim
with the Psalmist, 'Lord, what have I done
that the wicked should praise me?"

or more townships in one society, and that
such society be invited to make atownsbip

b& the Platform laid dowel by the Republican
Convention In 1856, it is somewhat amusing
to contpar it with the professions of the opo
sition now,iwhile denouncing the Administre-
Lion foilur position relative to the Lecempton
Constitution. The main plank of that Platform
was in these words: ,
Resolved, l'hat the Constitution confers upon
Congress sovereign power over the Terriimies of
tii. United States for their gecernmeni, and that
in the exercise of this power it is both the right
and the imperative duty of Congress to prohibit
in the Territories, these twin relics of barbarism
—polygamy and slavery. -
They now affect to despisa the principle of
Congressional intervention, and are loud in
their professions in favor of Popular flover
eignty. However, in this th ey are Consistent
with themselves at least, as they have ever va

the church. . .
In 1810 they removed to Harford, Sine's Co.,
Pa., where the care of a large family devolved
prine4pally upon her, as Mr. Kingsbury was ern
' played half of tho time in missionary service.
She became a widow in 1842, since which 'Bose
she has resided with Tier youngest daighter, in
the midst of the congregation Where
_she had
lived as puter's wife. By the energy of her
character, and her devotedness to 'do good, she
secured' universal esteem, and that warm safe*.
tion which lolloled her down to the grave itself.
She retained her faculties almost :entire, tp
the advanced tage of 85:years, and was enableil,
within two months of her death, not only to ob
serve the progreis of the Redeemer's kingdom
in this country and foreign lands, ' but to keep
steadily in view the tellitleal movements in our
own country, and in Europe, thathad a bearing
*on that kingdom.
She lived to follow to the graVe all but three
of her nine children. While affliction found its
way to her dwelling, it served to increase the
warm affectioEs of her heart toward the sons
and daughters of distress and want. and her
home was theirs to the : utmost of her ability.
Although, apparently, breathing in the gospel
spirit from her youth, yet a distrust in her own
personal interest Si Christ, threw at 'limey. a
