THE COMPROMISE OP THE PERCE
CONGRESS.
Those who desire that the diffioult.es
which now beset the nation should be settled
by a compromise, desire only that this com
promise shall be a fair and constitutional
one The grand aim is to secure the alle
giance of the Border Slave States to the
Union by suoh a revision of the oonst.tu
tion as will guarantee the future secunti of
their.domestic institutions and their slave
property. It appears from the telegraphic
' reports that the Franklin substitute for the
r proposition, which has been
i lM@sgreed--.to by the Peace Congress, was
■"v , adopted by a vote of nine States against
'• bight. The fact that the Congress was so
nearly divided, is a bad omen for the success
4 • - of the proposition. But in order to get tjiis
compromise before the several States ior
their ratification, it must be passed by a
two-thirds vote of each House of Congress,
and then, to make such compromise a part
s,; the constitution, it must be adopted by
' . three-fourths of all the States, each in a
legislative act, or by a State Convention, as
Congress may prescribe.
There are but two days for all this work
to,be done. Will Congress go at it, will
/■V'tiieydo what they can to save the Union?
s’ ‘Beems scarcely probable that when the
Peace Congress was so divided on this propo
sition, that a two-thirds vote can be had
upon it in the space of two days. Bat Con
gress might yet pass an act submitting the
whole question to a vote of the people. A
hare majority would do this, and the people
of the whole country would receive such a
measure with shouts of acclamation and
j«y-
If at all, that aotion must and
decisive. The crisis culminates.
the new tariff bile.
The tax npon tea and coffee was stricken
out of the tariff bill by the Committee of
Conference, and it has passed both Houses
of Congress. The new law will have the ef
fect of replenishing the national Treasury,
which has, for some time past, been depen
dent upon loans, and will also give renewed
energy and prosperity to the manufacturing
interests of the country, and especially to
those of our own State. Let the political
sff«ira of the country now be settled upon
gpoh a basis that public confidence shall be
teetered, and the owners and operatives of
Oar manufacturing establishments will
■from have prosperous times.
Binca this bill was introduced, as "the Mor
rill Tariff Bill, it has been greatly modified,
and rendered less acceptable to the ardeDt
friends of protection, but it is still a great
improvement upon the tariff of 1867. It
closely resembles the tariff' of 1840 in the
actual amount ot duties it levies, but it
radically differs from that tariff by imposing
upon many articles, in the manufacture of
which our citizens are engaged, specific
iiuteacj of ad valorem duties. The wisdom of |
change isnowmore universally acknowl
edged than would have been deemed possi
ble & f©w years ago, when the tariff of 184 b
was in successful operation. But the fact
Heflin unquestionable that fraudulent in
voices are yearly becoming more and more
common,Jand that, not only is our govern
ment thus defrauded, but the business of
honest importers crippled, while American
manufactures are deprived of the protec
tive influence of the revenue law when the
prices of goods are lowest, and when, con
sequently, it is most needed.
MR. LINCOLN'S POLIC Y.
The idea is fast gaining ground that Mr.
Linwftln is disposed to,,adopt a conservative
policy. He seems to desire to secure the
services in his Cabinet of men who favor
the Constitution and the Union, and is in
clined to set his face against the ultra Abo
lition wing of the Republican party. The
ooantry looks to the incoming President to
manifest a friendly and generous spirit to
wards the border States of the South, which
have so nobly pressed forward in the work
of compromise and conciliation. Mr, Lin
coln now stands in a position to make him
self either * 1 the greatest or the meanest of
mankind." The indication at Washington
(Sty now seems to be, that Mr. Lincoln will
disappoint the disunion element by adopt
ing such a policy in forming suoh aCabinet as
would give them an excuse to Btir up the
mouldering fires of disunion, and plunge the
country into civil war, nor yetwill he yield
to the ultra .Northern partisan feeling of
whioh Greeley is the chief exponent, which
(Regards party success far more important
than the interests and welfare of thirty mil
lions of people.
ELEGANT EXTRACTS FROM THE
The leading editorial in yesterday’s (Jaiette

specimen expressions as follows; all of which
elsgent and genteel phrases may be found

literature ” —“ reeking abominations'’ —“ to

pool"-* ‘foul places where it is generated”
The despatches to New York oity and
Philadelphia papers announced that Mr.
Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, will go
■into Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet as Secretary of
tho Treasury. The struggle between the
conservative and radical sections of the Re
publican party itt Washington is increasing
in intensity and bitterness.
The vote —one hundred yeas to sevonty-'four

was postponed is equivalent to Us defeat. Thu

The Senate pasted to second reading the
Tonnage Tax bill as also the Sunbury $ Erie
bill, lhe former can count nineteen votes

without an amendment A legal question
will arise, can the Legislature take from the
sinking fund one million of dollars and appro
priate the same to finish other roads as propos
ed by the bill under the “Buckalin” amend
ments. It is denied that it can be done in as
much as Jhe act would be unconstitutional.
But here will be a question for the Supreme
Court to hear and determine. There is much
excitement on the subject. The Sunbury 4*
fiiie b.ll will also pass, for it is well engin
eered bj Jackman and Morehead. The latter
is tbo President of the road.

1 observe in the Hall of the House, this
morning, Messrs. Nicholson, Miller, Woods,
McCandless, of your city, wilh Col Jack,
late clerk of the Legislature. In conversing
with Alderman Nicholson, he informs the
writer that it would be advisable to p&es t.he
bill named in a former letter, as the commit
ments to the jail is rathei of a wholesale char
acter and well calculated to plunder the county
treasury. This is an honest declaration of a
good man who does not desi: e to become
wealthy in a few years on the misery of the
unfortunate. When the bill comes up 1 wilt
keep you posted as to its advocates or its
enemies and should any of your members take
part against protecting the pockets of the peo

withstanding the Republicans boast of their
ten thousand majority the people can and will
sweep them from power. You would be
amused to beur petty politicians from your
county talk, “they will not allow compromise,”
hut when they reach Washington they will
find their leading men the advocates of com
promise.

Senator Cowan passed through en ruuU to
Washington, to take his place in tho Senate
after the 4th. Ho is ultra against the S .>utb,
but his ardor will be cooled when in Lhe
U. S. Senate.
Mr. Marshall called up ami nad passed a bill
to change the place of holding the elections in
McCandless township. This is small potatoes
to change from a .Democratic bouse to that of
one who voted for the opposition. Very likely
it was asked lor by the parly who count so
largely on the gullabilily of the people. Mr.
Marshall is active and extremely attentive to
business, and from all I can lear* rather pop
ular with his fellow members. Ho U agree
able and obliging to all, when older and with
more experience ho will make a good member.
Mr. Gordon is at this moment addressing
the House in favor of appropriating a sum ol
money to assist the unfortunate of Kansas.
This able member spoke most feelingly and in
a religious strain in behalf of tbo starving
people. Mr. Bliss followed in a few pertinent
remarks in which he took the broad ground
of charity and advocated eloquently the dona
tion asked for. Mr. Bartholomew then spoke
with power and foroeon the same side, let us,
said the gentleman, shut our eyes to politics
and perform that duty which our natures
prompt, then in God’s name let us give freely.
Mr. Cowan remarked that not long since we
give to the Irish, and now when our own sons
and daughters of America are starving, it be
comes our bounden duty to stretch out our
hands and make the people of Kansas rejoice.
The gentleman was mistaken when he re
marked that Ireland got or received from the
Legislature of any State one cent. The con
tributions came from the people themselves,
without regard to States or Legislators, the
member is not well posted in matters of this
kind.
Mr. tipe&ber Da via then advocated tho sum
named, $30,000, and rather thai» reduce that
figure, he would prefer not giving a single
cent. Let us not then stultify ourselves by a
niggardly pittance, and h® had no buncomb
to make; but he would go the whole figure,
for we are told that New York give $60,000,
and shall the great State of Pennsylvania re
fuse a little more than the half contributed by
a sister State.
Mr. Huhun followed in a heart feeling
'speech that had a telling efieot. I regret to
say that members showed gro?s ignorance in
regard to the Irish famine, lor in no instance
did the people of the Emerald Isle ever receive
the smallest favor from legislative aid or assis
tance. What they got came trorn the free will
offering of the charitable. Mr. Hill Bpoke
against the bill and argued that it was a bad
precedence to flitter away the peoples money
unsparingly without consulting them. This
gentleman vAs frequently Interrupted by ques
tions from the opposition.
Dr. Seltser made his usual rambling remarks
amounting to nothing.
The member of Erie remarked that it was
a question of bread, and we should vole to
sustain the necessities of the people.
Kansas being a (State can certainly borrow
funds like any other State in place of playing
the mendicant. But lam confident if an ap
peal is madb to the people of the U .States abun
dance will orown the effort. lean go through
Allegheny county and procure $lO,OOO worth

called on to save life by contributions. This
would be the proper mode in place of dipping

Mr. Cameron, and Mr. Lincoln
The Washington Correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
All doubt previously existing as to the posi
tion of General Cameron, with reference to
the Linooln Administration, is removed by the
positive announcement that ha has been ap
pointed Socretary of the Treasury. It is sta
ted upon the best authority,and generally cred
ited here, that General Cameron telegraphed
to this place on Monday that Mr. Llncoln,Mr.
Seward and himself called upon John Tyler,
President o‘f the Peace Congress, when Mr.
Lincoln pledged his Administration to sustain
measures of peace based upon the Border State
proposition.

THE DEBATE ON THE'TARIFF BILL.
Mr. Douglas and Mr* Bigler*
We find reported in the daily Globe the de
bate on the tariff bill, in which Mr. Douglas
and Senator Bigler both participated. Mr.
Douglas said he would not vote for tho final
passage ot the bill, because be thought it un
wise, at the present timo, to make any radical
changes in the existing revenue system of the
country. He reviewed the ontiro system of
tariffs.
In the course of the debate, Mr. Douglas
said:
Now sir, I desire to invite the attention of the Senate
and of the country to the inquiry whether we may not
profitably form a commercial union, to comj ride all
the North Araeroian comment, on the basis of the Ger
man Zollverein. Our continent is admirably adapted to
eucb a system. You would at once abolish all the in
t-rior custom houses. All those cuNtom-houses upon
the northern front.er would be abandoned; all upon the
dividing line between us and Mexico would be aban
doned; all the internal restrictions upon trade would
bo swept and all you would require would be
customhouses at the ports on the Atlantic Ant Pacific.
Why cannot wo f >rro the whole American continent
into one commercial union for commercial purposes,
without interfering tu the slightest degree with the
political institutions or domestlo policy of the different
countries with it’ They have overcome all the difficul
tiea growing nut of the practical working ol such a
system in Germany, where they were a thousand f>ld
greater than hey would in this country; for in the
German alliance they have every form of government,
large btatesaud email some formed on the repub
lican svateiu; large kingdoms, like Prussia, tiaxony and
Bavaria, with the small duchiee, like Baden-Baden: yet
all embraced in one system. It is one country for oom
meioial purposes There is free intercourse, free tr>do
between them alh thus wiping out all the asperities
And imtatiooH that had grown up lor huu-ireds of years,
uotil Germany is being gradually moulded and formed
into one people, without interfering at all with the fjrra
ot government, ortho pohtcal institutions, or the do
mestic policy of any one ot the parties to the oommer
cial union.
The advantages to our own ooun'ry of suoh a union
of alt countries embraced within North America must
be obviou-i to every one. It would rowtore and preserve
amity and good fatth between tho people of ail the
countries who become parties to it. n would eradicate
all the Jalousies and hostihtie- which have been en
gendered by lawless fillibusteriDp expefitions; and put
an *od to all outrages of that kind m the future, it
would extend our commerce, navigation, and carrying
trade, while it w- uld open up new and extensive mar
ireu |nr our manufactures and agricultural products.—
It would impart Jataodity, permenaace, and uutr<rmity
to our commercial »ystem. It would afford more effi
cient, eeriaiQ, and v*iuabie protection to Amerlo*n m
d etry Lhao ah the protoctire tariff * that Congress can
dev.se. , i
Wh Jo it would be beneficial to all the indd' ,, r»al and
material interests of the I’nited hiatus it requires no

In tho tlr-t price, the Senator conceded, the other
daj, that it guards against frauds, and that there are
frAuda manifestly practiced under the present system.
1 can show them here m the m*r*t start mi form. 1
I will not enter on that question to-day, btji 1 *%y u hu

But, air, what ir more unfortunate in oar expnence
is tni«. that pnoee are always higher when importations
are largest, and therefore. the great tendency is to
tluctustion. Th« system fa- ilitaw»s fluctuation from

To this Mr. Dougl&i rejoined.
The Senator from Pennsylvania is under • great mis
apprehension if he supposes that 1 Intended to imply

o ,ur»e as to Increase the Irritation in the oouolry. Far
t>e It f:om me to c*sl any »uch imputation upon his
State. Ido not think it would haro been just, if it had
been done by anybody. Feonaytvauia, in regard to the
tanfl. is only pursuing that course that she thinks her
m erest, in common with the interest of the whole
oouotry, requires her to pur»u«r, and 1 will say to that
Beuator, that the duties In this bill, m resnect to iron,
commen t thsmtelvea to roy judgment ami to my leoh
inga, batter th*o almost any other po/tion of the bill.
Tne In'erests of Pennsylvania, so far as coal and iron
are concerned, are not peculiar to that Slate. The Iron
an I co4J interest, beginning In Pennsylvania, stretches
westward through the mountains of Maryland and Vir
ginia and Carolina, Tennessee and Keutuoky, and also
embraces southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern
Illinois,and a luge portion of Missouri. What are the
interests of Pennsylvania t*-day in regard to Iron will
be the interests of the rest of that great iron belt, tlvo,
tan, fifteen, and twsnty years hence. I cannot close my
eyes to the foot, that all the southern portion of the
Northwest, and the northern portions of the alavebold-
Ing States, have a common interest, and >rill have a
common sympathy with Pennsylvania so far as tho
iron interest is concerned, just as fast ns oar means and
natural resouroes are cultivated. Hence, sir, it would
be far from me to cost any imputation upon that Suue,
or upon tho great interest she has so much at staks in
this taritl.
But my objectiou was, that it was an unfortunate time
to bring m a isrifl bill, so repugnant to the feelings of
those States which are already trntatod to the point of
separating f.-om ua ou other caus-s It was merely
addiog more to the irritat.ou; aud 1 would have wished,
thereroie, it could hare laid over lor another year, and
for the reasons 1 have already suggested, but will not
argue, in the remarks 1 have already submitted. 1 did
not expect action at this time upon the ideas that I
threw ouu they are mere suggestions. 1 think we have
arrived at that period when we must enlarge our com
mercial policy. I think an American commercial Union,
embracing the wlolo of North America, would afford
more protections the manufacturing interest, the agri
cultural interest, and to every other material interest of
this country, at lower duties, than any other system
that has been suggested, or tnat can be devised.
But I will not occupy the time of the Sonate in en
larging upon it. France and England are now negoti
ating commercial treaties withaviow to remov.ng re
strictions and making those two countries one, ho Ur as
commerce and trade are concerned, They have diffi
culties there to enoounter that do not exist upon this
continent. Those old countries m Europe, tyho have
their hered tary prejudices running through centuries,
who have their vested right of toils upon rivers and
commercial channels of mtercourae, which cannot be
divested without compensation, have to overoome and
surmount difficulties In introducing free trade between
themselves which we do not encounter in this country.
I am in hopes that instead of turning our attention to
war, to the marshaling of armies, to rnakiogpoocmeps
among our own people at home, we shall fc»gm to devise
some system by which we can save thft>*Alßerlea|i
Union, and avoid the rocks upon which we have been
heretofore in danger of wre> king the ahip ofHflue.ana
deriving*!! the advantages of iim commerce;-Without
■bringing these disturbing elements within .our«iknlte.
I believe this can be done; and I think this a favorable

A LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
"We are permitted to publish the following
letter, from a gentleman in Virginia to a
friend in this city, which gives a brief and cor
rect view of the political feeling in that State.
It is a well written, plain spoken view of things,
as they appear in the border States:
Richmohd, Va., Feb. 2d, lbiil
My Dear Sir: Being at leisure this even
ing, and conceiving it to be every man's duty,
in these times, to transmit intelligence to
where it will be of use, aod presuming, also,
that you will do your share towards thein
struction of the public mind in the crisis which
may come upon us, I address you this lot'.cr,
in order to give you a correct idea of the pres
ent position of political affairs in this latitude.
Tho Virginia Convention is, ss you kuow,
in Beesion : but this body of men is not of the
complexion generally supposed at the North
The Union man in Virginia is not such
in the sense in which the North understands
the term. He is for compromise, and guar
antees for the better protection of slavery; but
not for the Union whether or no. Secession is,
with him, simply a last resort, if bis de
mands are not acceded to. Of men who are
fur the Union, unconditionally, there are but
two In the Convention—Messrs Clemens and
Hubbard, from the Wheeling district. John
M. Botts was defeated in Richmond on this
issue, though the two othor Uuion candidates
ou the same ticket were elected by large ma*
jorities. A test vote In the Convention, un
Wednesday last, showed a very different claai
ficalion from that apparently shown in the
general election. It stood as follows: Union,
(conditionally) 91 ; secession, GO.
Now, this majority depends far its contin
uance almost entirely upon the peeservation of
the oxisting status. Tne inauguration of the
policy foreshadowed in Lincoln's Indianapolis
speech would change theeondi’ion of things at
once ; an 1 the passage of an objectionable force
bill, or the rolu3al of Congress to sd »pt what
ever plan may be reported by tho Peace Co a*
f. ranee, would render the aubmis-ion of a con
ditional ordinance of becesiion almost a cer- |
udnty Should none of these contingencies i
ooc'ir, tho Convention w il, must probably,
emb.>dy certain demand? —probably the Crit
tenden resolutions, in tne l-»ria of an ultima
tum —and submit the quoin j.i to the people—
whether these, with secession as the alterna
tive, shall be presented to a National Conven
tion, if one can bo called. The moderate men
of Virginia desire that thing* shall remain as
they are until a National Convention can as
semble, and the people themselves can decide,
through that body, wbother the independence
of tho toceded Sistes shall be acknowledged or
not, and what changes aro necessary in the
Constitution. Granting that ibe present con
stitution compels a certain course on the pari
of the government —and that, as in this case,
the adoption of this course must of necessity
produce war—is it not Wetter that these rights
should be held ia abeyance for a season, until
the voice of the people, constitutionally ex*
pressed, can render their exercise no longer
obligatory. No one living, as I am, here—
right in the heart of the political excitement
at tho main hotel of the place—seeing the hun
dreds pouring in and cut from all parts of tho
State, who come hero to attend the meetings
of the Legislature and Convention, and then go
back to report —who observes and note? tbe
temper of those so doing, and who, like my*
pelf, was in attendance at the sittings of tho
North Carolina Legislature when the coercive
resolutions of the Minnesota Senalo and
House of Repeesentatives were received and
read to them—no one, I say, can see and bear
all this without being impressed with tho fact
that this is no child's play guir.g on around
him—that the men of tho S-vjih *ra duep’y,
terribly in earnest, and that ibis whole section
of the country ia liko a vast powder magazine,
which needs but spark, such as would bo af
forded by a Southern blockade, or an attempt
to retake the captured forts, to explode with a
desolating violence. It is sup}*osed in the
North that a Union reaction ha* produced the
results seen in tbe Virginia and Tennessee
elections. This is not the case. Secessiontem
• has gained steadily in those States. In De
cember it had but h slight foothold in either of
them, and both, vou will remember wen
for the Union candidate m me Pruidenti&t
election. North Carolina ia coni
1 servative still than Virginia, and if no un
toward circumstance intervenes—tbe inaui;u
i ration cf & coercive policy, etc , (for which
tho precipitators are praying daily) —sbo will
add hers to tbe exphatic protest already re
> corded against the unholy work of disruption.
But not a stone is being left un*urned to
drag these States Into the vertex. Day after
day lying telegrams are seen on the bulletin
boards, and though they may be proved un
true on,tbs very next day—still they have
done their work and go travelling through
the State, from month to mouth, being hoard
and believed by many who never read the con
tradictions. Letters aro written from here to
Charleston, advising the prompt assault of
Fort Sumpter— as that is the only course which
will bring all Virginia to arms and unitr the
South. And this is in a measure true—so
strong is the impatby here, oven amongst ul
tra Union men, for the seceded Stales, that
wore South Carolina to take the fort to-mor
row, unjustifiably as she would act in so doing,
this Slate would be In a bIR/.•> of enthusiasm in
her favor in twenty-four hours aftor. You
may think this strange, in v«aw of the very de
cided snubbing which Virginia recently re
ceived from that potent republic, but I have
yet to flod the Virginian who does, not apolo
gise for Lho aotiun of South Carolina in that
matter. She sent Air Oomui’Sfionor hero last
yp^f—asy they, and we would not listen to
him, and she has but paid us iokinl. From
what I have aeon, Ijudgo that the feeling in
North Carolia is much less in favor uMho acts
nf her Southern neighbor than la tho'caso in
Virginia.
Mr. Lincoln's speeches are d »iog a great
deal of harm here. Tb« fellow apparently f-r
-gets that he is no longer a village lawyer, de
fending a hog thUf or hen-roo.<t robber, before
ajary of country hew-gags, but the President
elect of a dissolving republic, a position in
which every uttered Word of his i» flashed by
lightning broadcast through the lan 1, and
hundreds of moaning*and cotiatrunUcus placed
upon it, of which be, in bia innocence, has no
Idea. His Indianapolis speech was an unpar«
dooablo blander. If bo had not made up his
mind to adopt the policy lo which he directed
his hearers' attention, he was guilty of a most
unstatesmanlike act, In using language, three
weeks before his inauguration, which could
not but greatly increase lho impending difficul
ties which be would have to encounter,
array againßt him a large olaa* of the commu
nity who wero willing to give him and his ad.
ministration a patient trial, oven under lho
secession pressure bearing against them ; and
if he had resolved upon sucJh a course, setting
aside tho folly and madtio-s of the policy Itself
—it was absurd In him to publish It to the
world when be had yet noa ly a month before
him, pregnant with"events which might ion
dor a change of plan ne<'vttiK , ‘y, aDd thus array
bis prido of consistency ag.inet tho requisite
modifications.
I was under tho impression, from reading his
Sublished speeches during the campaign with
tr. Douglas, that he was a tolerably illiterate,
but ablo and Bhrewd man, but from present
appearances I think that the sooner he puts
himself in the hands of some political dry-
nurse, who understands the temper of tho
times, tho better. That Lincoln eiearty does
not, is shown by his continued reiterations of
“artificial" crisis. He probably judges of
the state of the country from his own pros
pers in life, which as Wo can all see, bavo ma
terially improved sinco February last; but at
the same time, I doubt whether there is any
other man in the oountry who is not consider
ably poorer now than ho'was at that time. In
tghort, Mr. Lincoln's speeches lisve doubled
the labors of the Union men of Virginia and
North Carolina. I observe that the Repub
lican papers havo a greaf deal to say about the
numerical superiority of tho North, and the
manner in which it would make Itself felt in
case of war. If you wilt examine the Gover
nor’s reports of the several States you will
there Bee that the South has nearly double the
number of drilled volunteers, trained, armed
and equipped, ready to take the field at a mo
ment’s warning— that is possessed by the North.
The preponderance of the latter in this respect
would not be observable for at least a year af
ter the commencement of hostilities. This af
ternoon I witnessed a review of the Richmond
regiment, by General August. There were
seven hundred and two muskets, four troops
of horse,- numbering one hundred and sixty.'
eight sabdrs, and two companies of-arttlleryp;
one with six rifled howitzers and the other
with four brass field pieces. They areeplen-
*dtdly drilled and equipped, and all belong to
this place, a town 0f40,000 inhabitants.
Stress is also laid upon the supposed fact that
an invasion by the North would inevitably be
followed bytan insurrection of the slaves, and
that the hands of IMSStith would be paralysed
by the foe at their own firesides. That this it
the merest folly I have lived long enough in the
South to feel fully assured. Many slaves will
fight beside their masters, In the great negro
insurrection in Tennessee in 1866, and in the
very heart of which I was at the time, the
twenty-five or thirty negroes who were proved
to be implicated, and who were hung in con
sequence, had been fully as unsuccessful in ob»
taining aid and confederates as were John
Brown and his gang.
The political excitement here just now res
minds one of some of the scenes of English
history. Union or secession respectively con
stitutes the bond of fellowship among men,
young or old, it is all the same; the mere de*
claration of principles ensures a reception with
open arms from one side or the other. I came
here, os you know,a total stranger, and am now
caquaioted withmostthe leading Union men of
the city and a number in the Convention. In or
dinary times I would probably never have
knqwn any of them. Our hotel isin fact a
sort of third house in the evenings. Many of
the members of both Convention and Legif
laturo are stopping here, and fierce discussions
are nightly taking place—a good deal of tem
per being shown on both sides, and with fre
quently a disposition to supply a lack of ar
gument with force of blows. But it grows
late. Excuse me for boreing you with this
epistle. Yours, &c.

and whenever he departs irom amongst us he will leave,
pleasant reminiscences behind, and cordial wishes for
his prosperity and welfare.
Apa is.—Dr. Von Mosohziskei's analysis of what
should be the training and qualifications of the practi..

patients, and some observations of our own on cases
under his charge, have satisfied us of the fidelity with
which he administers the skill he has undoubtedly ac

delusive undertakings of what is impossible. He deals
frankly, and his successes here undoubtedly been
great.—N 0. Fitayune, April, 1860.

[From the Philadelphia Argu*.]
Dr. Moschsisker came to us highly recommended,
and we had seen many notices ef him in our exchan
ges, in which he was spoken of la tho highest.terms.
recommendations and these flattering no
tices did not convince ua that he was all that he urns said
to be. We had seen no one, and learned directly from
no one, whom he had cured or even benefiUed. We
were, therefore, careful in speaking of him, and what
we said vja* In general terms of what we had heard of
(lira. Now the ease id different We have seen him
operate—have seen and conversed with those whom he
has treated, and we know whereof we speak when-we
say he is no quack. He doesnotiaseore every one of a
cure, neither does he treat every one in the same way,
or in anything like the same manner. Diseases of the
Ear and £ ye sore as Various as diseases of the body,
end must be treated according to the nature of the
disease. A qaaCk will have pretty much the same're
medy and much the same manner of procedure for
every disease, gnd heno' in nine cases out df ton, will
fail. Dr. SL, on.yto contrary, Brit examines the eye
and ear thoroughly, for Which he has very ingeniously
constructed instruments, and then having ascertained’
the caose and locally of defect, applies bfareme-f

uninitiated fnwurglcal matters. We know Several who'
have been greatly benefited, one of whom aiid to us
yesterday that he would not take five hundred dollars
for the improvement he has experieneedto his hearing.
[From the Si. Louis Democrat.}
Dr. JL enjoys an European reputation, and were suf
ferers of those diseases to cross the Atlantic to consult

physician*—Dr. F. A. W. Davis—was.peiformed on
Saturday last by Dr. Von Moschalsker, the
European Ocul‘at and Aortal now In our city, assisted
by Dr. Merrill, of this city. The patient was a very
bright and intelligent fed of twelve years old, who un
fortunately lost his eight when an infant The opera
tion performed was that of forming an artificial pupil,
and was most skillfully performed—the tune of the
operation being only a minute and a half; the child
under the infioenoe of chloroform. We learned yes
terday that the patient was doing well—free from-pain
or infiammation. We trust that the operation.will prove
successful. It was a most delicate due, and performed
with great dexterity and skill.—Afay,-1860.
[From the Baltimore American. Nov. Bth, 1866.}
JUtraerdinary Surytcal Operation*—One of the most
delicate and skillful surgical operations on the eye was
yesterday performed by Dr. Von Moscbzisker, assisted
by Prot MoUiur and Dr. Baltzetl, on a lady in Bond
street. Tbe operation was the extirpation of th&eye
ball, and required both skill and boldness, as it was
affected by a disease rarely met with, and Ventured by"
but few even of the moat skillful opthalmld surgeons
The eye bore a tumor which ia known as the fhbgoa
hiematadua, and was about the size of an Rnfen«h
walnut and protruded more than an inch from the
orbit. The patient was partially under the influence
of chloroform, judiciously administered by Drs. ICon
kur and Battsell. The tumor can be seen at the office,
of Dr. M. by professional men, or others Interested in
this singular form of disease. The patient is doing
well, and Dr. Von Mosohaisker ia entitled to praise
for his skill In this operation, which Was performed Lna
few seoonds.

those afflicted with deafness and diseases of the eye,
