FOREIGN RECOGNITION.
It appears probable, if we may judge by
the tenor of the articles in tbe foreign pa
pers, that the governments of European
countries are only waiting to see what
course the Administration is going to pur
sue in regard to tbe seceded States, before
recognizing tbe new government. It is
evident that unless some compromise
ia effected which is like to restore the
unity of the government, and that very
soon, that the European governments will
acknowledge the Southern Kepublic as a
successful, opposing A ta<'to government.
The danger of this is the undoubted
cause why Lincoln holds the evacua
tion of Fort Sumter so long “ under ad
visement. ” It is manifest that the evacu
ation of this fort would be an acknowledge
ment the inability of tbe United States
government to maintain its authority in
the seceded States. This done, and what
ground is there for demanding that foreign
governments, with whom we have treaties,
shall refuse to recognize the same dr tacto
government which this surrender is in ef
fect recognizing. The governments of for
eign countries will have no excuse for non
recognition of the government of the Con
federated Slates. Undoubtedly they are
anxious to do so, as their commercial inter
eats demand such a course. Many persons
familiar with foreign affairs are of opinion
that the Confederated States will be ac
knowledged even at the hazard ol a war
with our government. In this view of af
fairs it ia certainly important that the Ad
ministration Bhould declare its policy one
way or the other. The issue cannot he
delayed much longer. If patriotism is
powerless to break the back ol sectionalism,
there are but two courses for Mr. Lincoln
to pursue. One is war, and destruction of
the Union forever must come oi that, and
the other is peace, which, without a yielding
of the Republican position, is a virtual ac
knowledgement that the Union is already
dissolved beyond all hope of reconstruc
tion.
It is no wonder that tbe question of the
evacuation of Fort Sumter sorely perplexes
Mr. Lincoln and his advisers, for what the
Administration recognizes foreign powers
will also recognize.
With one exception, the entire Cabinet,
backed by Gen. Scott, Major Anderson,
Captain Fox and Mr. Lamon, who has just
returned from Fort Sumter, advise its evac
uation as a•• military necessity.” The
President holds back the final order. Can
it be possible that it is the intention to
throw the entire responsibility of evacuating
Fort Sumter on Major Anderson, bo that
the Administration may say it is not our
act, but his ? The present condition of ai
fairs looks like it.
ARE WE TO HAVE WAKf
Things look like the approach of a hostile
collision between the two sections, it is
announced that an extra session of ( ongress
is inevitable in consequence of the contem
plated operations of the administration in
evacuating Fort Sumter anil reinforcing
Fort Pickensat, Pensacola, both of which are
determined upon, ag well as the collection
of the revenue.
The forts at Tortugas and Key West hav
ing already been reinforced with troops
6om Texas, much to the surprise of the
Commissioners and other secessionists now
at Washington, the administration policy
seemß to be to follow this work up by throw
ing troops into Fort Pickens at Pensacola,
without delay. Should it turn out to tie
true that an attempt is to be made to rein,
force Fort Pickens, (recollect that Fort
Sumter is >,ot yet evacuated) a collision must
ensue, and coercion, in defiance of the
recommendations of the Border States, and
of the almost universal wishes of the people
of the North will be attempted if Mr.
Lincoln does inaugurate a civil wai it will
be against every dictate of reason, human
ity, statesmanship, and in contempt of the
known wish of every conservative man in
the nation.
THE SOUTHER!* CONFEDERACY'
Mississippi and Texas have adopted the
Constitution ot the Southern Confederacy
framed at Montgomery by a convention of
the seceded States. Five of the seven have
now ratified that instrument, all since
March 13th.
Two States, South Carolina and Florida,
are yet to adopt the new constitution.
There is little need of conjecture as to the
part they will take in ratifying and endors
ing the action of their brethren. The < on
vention of South Carolina is now in session,
and that of Florida meets in a few days, and
in a week or two, therefore, the final action
of the Confederacy will be perfected in
regard to this important matter.
That was a good point made by Mr. Ste
phens in his Bpeech at Savannah, the other day,
when speaking of the policy of the republican
party toward the secession movement. “While
it Is a fixed principle with them,” bo said,
“never to allow the increase of a foot of 6lave
territory, they seem to be equally determined
not to part with an inch “of the accursed soil ”
Notwithstanding their clamor against the in
stitution, they seem to be equally opposed to
getting more, or letting go what they have gut.
They were ready to fight on tho annexation of
Texas, and are equally ready to tight now on
her secession. Why is this? How can Ihiß
strange paradox be accounted for " There
seems to be but one rational solution, and that
is, notwithstanding their professions of hu
manity, they are disinclined to give up the
benefits they derive from slave labor.”
Collecting the Revenues,
Orders have been made out by the Treasury
department and forwarded to the principal
cities on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, in
structing the surveyors of those ports to ap
praise all foreign imported goods which may
arrive there without the duty having been
previously collected on them. Under present
regulations the goods will remain in the cus»
tom houses. These orders are said in some
quarters to have the effect of making those
places ports of entry without any special law
of Congress.
The Canaon for Fort Monroe,
The order for the removal of cannon from
Bellona arsenal, Virginia, to Fort Monroe has
been countermanded, not, however, before the
Virginia Legislature had passed a resolution
authorizing the governor to seize them and
to pay the contractor from the state treasury
the amount due him from this government.
The latest dates from the city of Mexico are
to The condition of things
throughout the republic was as wretched as
possible. The roads a-warm with banditti, and
no traveller is safe. Foreigners are especially
. obnoxious, and assassinations of numbers of

leltzer, of Philadelphia, an ultra party man,
A was found to be recommitted to the Judi-
ciary on the motion made a few dAys ago by
Mr. Armstrong at the instance of a gentleman
connected with tho prison East. A motion
was then made to discharge the committee

this the yeas and nays were called, r feulting,

with considerable force and vigor, to which he
was replied to by Mr. Armstrong in a:i elo
quent defence of the court. But admitting
that the elective Judiciary was a failure; on
this Mr. Williams had him, for this gentle
man then proceeded to show that the people
had lost confidence in tho court and give •
oral instances. This will be met by both Mr.
Armstrong and liandall, who spoke with
effective deference to the ability and integrity
of some of the Judges. Tho debate* between

Under the present system poor persons are

that often times vagrants are taken from th"

It is n<>t the pin*** f"r them and Inn no »r
commodationa where they can be compelled
to work, ap the law undoubtedly designed
they should. Hut a workhouse is what we
want. The city l’oor Karin is no place for
the idle, vicious and disorderly, and the ex
pense of keeping them theie would l-e
greater to the tax payers than the present
system, bad as it undoubtedly is. It ip re
pugnant to every idea of public charity,
that the disorderly prostitutes of our city,
and the still more disorderly vagabonds,
who hang al>out their bagnios, should bo
made the associates of the honest and un
fortunate poor, many of whom, are aged
and infirm, and not a few of whom, are
orphan children, with characters to form.—-
The sentiment of this community would
never endorse Lho turning of our Poor
Houses into Prisons anti Houses of Corret
tiou, even if it could be done without a pos
itive increase of the burthen of taxation.
The experience of other cities, has shown
that the Work House is the cheapest ami
most effectual method of disposing of the
human excresoences wbiehvice burthens the
community. The fact that we have no
Work House, is no argument at all. We
should have one—should have had long ago.
The first expense may be considerable, but
the satiny from such an institution would
compensate this ten times over.
In regard to giving the County Commis
sioners a portion of the power in tin* jail,
we have only to say that the universal
opinion of this community is, that tin* ( om-
missioncrs h:ivt- ; <> mi.r', /
are jnol bound in butheient reHpom-ib'.Mv
for the power which they have. "tie o,
the chief reforms which is demanded, is to
tuf r away jiovct front the Commissioners
and to place checks in the way of their ex
penditure of the public money aal,'at-um.
lit Regard to the responsibility of the
Shentl for the safe keeping of the prisoners
in jail, we have only to say, the laws make
him so responsible. The fact that the law
haß not been heretofore enforced, is no argu
ment. There it stands upon the statute
hook.
We have pronounced this proposed re
form bill crude and ill digested. It is so,
because it is manifestly drawn upon a theory
that we have two separate and antagonistic
communities here who are endeavoring to
shift the burthens of taxation upon each
other. The country people are made to be
lieve that they are taxed to help support
the vices, follies, errors and luxuries, of the
city people, when the (act is, that the cities
pay more than two-thirds of the whole taxes
of the country. The bill is a scheme to
throw a still greater burthen upon the citie.-.
although they now pay the lion’s share u!
the taxes. The bill is also crude and im
perfect, in that it makes no provisions for
taking care of the VHgranta and dison hu ly
-persons when sent to the I’oor i-airn. it
this scheme were to go into elieot, the c;U
would have to send especial steaml-oat to
the Poor Farm every morning, to convey the
prisoners, or else they would be discharged
and riot would run wild upon our streets.—
When sent, there would be no means ol
confining them, and it would take a regi
ment of soldiers to keep the “ disorderlies”
at the Poor Farm for a single day.
Let our correspondent advocate a Work
House as a relief to the jail, and he will
find in the end, that he has advocated the
best interests of the community.

-
From a desire to controvert what I conceive,
to be error, I have already, perbaps r Baid too
much on this subject. There are two schools
.which maintain a directly opposite doctrine,
and what is worthy of notice, divided by the
Bame geographical lines which separate them
politically. South of “Mason and Dixon’s
line,*' with some rare exceptions, it is main
tained that ours is a union <•/ sovereign and
independent States, furmed by agreement or
compact, which, like any other partnership,
may bo duruive ) at the pleasure of all or any
of t>'e parties. Thb is the Southern doctrine
as expressed in the IN n=t:Lut:on of the Confed*
crat'd Slatei. In the North, on the contrary,
the opposite c pinion is sustained by a great
majority, and on lL ; s rpiestton I own that lam
greatly in '.be minority on this side cf the line;
but I do r:ut admit that I must necessarily fol
low that i:u that account, it must bo in the
erring. I admit that in subjects where natu
ral sagacity insufficient, and within the scope
iff general informatio-, the presumption is in
favor cf the majority, but this is not the case
where reasoning, research, and anxious study
are required : and here, I think, as a general
rule, the presumption is on the side of the
minority. If this be a national, consolidated
government, and nut a partnership of States,
united for spccitis and limited purposes, not
held together by compulsion or force, but by
consent, then it ia the creation of an imagin
ary sovereign called the Union, tbo States I
which were the original parties being trans- I
formed by legerdemain inti* more provinces or
dependencies, and the source of power redding
m the majority of the whole mass of the peo
pie within the’ bounds of the Union, without
regard to State lines i if it follows that
O'-roion i- right, and sec ssiun treason and
rebellion. If thU ware the case, then the
framers of the Constitution wore extremely
d)i»rt-.-'gbl<-d m not providing the means of
huuln g »nd keeping the States together by
f,and mpuSi.-n. In the Convention il
wn< auemjted u* introduce a clause for this
purpose, but it was rejected, and it was also
attempted to insert oi.e declaring the rights
o! any Stale u> s-i-edo, which was alio rejected,
Pfi-au-'* aco-rdlng to my interpretation, it ww

HARRIBBU&G:LBTTER.
HARRISBtfBG, April 1, 1861.
This being the first of April, rentors here to
move to their new habitations—the dey is
disagreeable and unpleasant—the poor have to
make the best of it, and will find their new
homes rather cheerless and chilly. Those who
live in comfort and at their ease, have but lit
tle concern for those who have to struggle for
a living, with a cold, and often times, heart-
less people.
It is to be hoped that the Republicans will
keep good their promise, and bestow a farm
on the Germans who have been doing all they
could to sell their claims to what they never
did nor never will possess from their new al
lies, tbo black Republicans, who are ever pro
fuse in promises, and that only. Men who
will, on the false pledges of corrupt political
adventurers, barter their birthright tor swamp
lands, on the mere promise of demagogues,
deserve to be cheated. This should teach our
German (quandum) friends to etand by the
Democracy, who carry out every pledge
The Palmetto Flag —a neatly printed paper,
bearing tbo above name, has been issued in
Philadelphia. It is devoted to the maintain
ance of correct principles in government, and
is severe on the enemies of the country, < t-
the Abolitionists, both foreign and domestic.
If it pursues the course it indicates in the first
number, it must gain in popularity, and have
a large circulation all over the country. Let
the flag wave in all its glory.
■ Senator Wade, of Ohio, was here en route
for home, and, in conversation with several of
his party friends, informed the member from
your county that he (Wade) told the President
if he was not careful Jeff. Davis would be
down some of these days and take Washing
ton, and make him (Lincoln) prisoner, with
his whole Cabinet. There may be more truth
ib&n fiction in this fame expression. Old
Wade is for fight, but the Cabinet and the
President are more prudent, and will not ri?k
a battle with the Southern chivalry.
Tbe speech of Hon. J. J. Crittenden before
the Legislative Assembly of Kentucky, is a
fine production, and what might have been ex
>ected from the “old man eloquent-’’ The gal-
ant ex*Senator can loom up above mere party
and speak tbo sentiments of a true American
heart, who loves the good old l nfbn. May it
exist furever as Washington left jt. But in
.his wish I am for the S.mth having ample
justice in despite of the down casters, who
would destroy our national existence to carry
out tbeir infernal schemes of injustice to a
large portion of our people, to cater to British
intolerance.
Col. Carr, of Clarion, has been here for a
few days on business connected with the Al
legheny Valley Railroad. This gentleman is
universally liked, and would have procured
the desired legislation for his road had he got
here in good time, but it is now too late in the
session to procure wbat is sought for. To be
successful he should have been on hand and
entered the ring when the other great rond
ures were going through. But next session
wiU do the work for him.
A large petition has come on urging the
passage of the bill, now on second reading,
which was postponed on motion of Mr. Wil
liams. Should this gentleman persist in his
pervert course, in the cause of defeating what
the people so universally approve? Why not
try this for a year, at all events, and if it is
found not to answer, it would not be difficult
to repeal the same or have it amended. I am
confident that it would answer the object, for
not nine out of ten who are now committed
would see the farm. Vagrants I contend are
i not criminals; they commit no offence that
should send them to a prison. Suppose there
are a few more persons employed to take
charge of such, would it rot be cheaper than
drawing, and better than draining the county
treasury of the large sum of n ore than sixteen
thousand dollars for kef ping them m the jail
for the benefit of officers onlj “
Let iho people who pay for this expenditure
look the matter fair in tno face, and ask them
selves why the objection is made. It only
comes from certain citizens connected with the
poor office, who fear tbny will h»vo some
trouble, inasmuch as they now sit at ease,
doling out from a quarter of a dollar to one
dollar to ibo poor, who hang around the alleys.
The Guardians can afford to pay a socreUry
twelve hundred dollars per annmn. Ho should
bo compelled to do something fur it, instead of
swelling with his own importance on tho mis
wry of tho poor. The country people have
spoken out for this reform, and If they did not
dnsiro it, why did they pronounce in its favor ?
Even “ Tom” Williams himself, addressed the
Convention, and not one note from hi# sonorous
voice was beard in opposition ; but now teat
be holds a scat here, ho turn? cm the very m*n
who n< initialed birauNor the •• city c.’.qu*,’'
and dees the bidding of tho fow, attbofx
penso of the many. Mr. Williams, although
he does own property in tho city and not in
the country, should be above all petty tricks, as
bo has a Bute reputation, and should not be
bound to tho narrow limits of a city Vo gratify
paltry self gain.
He (Williams) informs me that he will in
troduce a joint resolution to change tho elec
| tion of tho Supreme Judges to appointments
j by the (k>vernor, with tho advice and consent
of the Senate This will Uke two sessions to
carry out, and then to come before the people
for their approval. This is the old way of
doing. It is admitted hero that tho oiectivo
judiciary is a failure, but that is fur the people
to determine. We are restless and ambi
tious, and ever ready to change. Gnforlu
nalely there is but little stability in the Ame -
ican people, which is the great cause of the
present dissatisfaction that now prevails in
this government of oars, at one time considered
the very best that the ingenuity of man ever
devised.
The new* rumored herefrom Washington
is that Mr. WilLiams will bo placed on the
Bench, to take the place of Grier, in this Dis
trict, and that the learned jurist, who has no
equal in the country, will be sent into the
Southern District, this will suit both gentle
men, as Grier is a Democrat and will ho ac
ceptable anywhere—when William*, from his
peculiarly constructed notions of national policy
will answer the North only, for if he was to
go South, from bis Abolition Lincoln speech
delivered daring the Presidential canvass, and
published in tho Journal and in pamphlet
form, would entitle him to a warm reception,
with a new suit that would be unpleasant to
the feelings, and would sit rather uncomforta
ble, and tho ermine might smell of “tar,"
wbioh would be rather strong in the nostrils
of the new dignitary.
The Secretary of War is now at home on a
visit to his family, li is said that he goes for
fight. I do notcreditthis,although that gentle
man is both a war officer and a paper general,
yet he is prudently oareful not to get himsell
into such a scrape, nor ye', the government.
Capt. Craig called up a Senate bill, “an act
to incorporate tho Brady's Bond Iron compa
ny, ’’ the Captain got the rules suspended as
a special favor, and passed this important bill.
This favor is rarely conced* d to any and shows
that tho amiable mumboi from Armstrong is
popular. The member from Washington,called
up his bill, relating to the settlement of ihoiu
debtodness of that county for Railroad purpo
ses. This bill was urged to its passage by the
member from Washington, Mr. Happor. This
gentleman stated that his people wore ami us
to pay and have tho wbolo question adjusted
to the satisfaction of all, and further remarked
that they were desirous to bow to the
mandate of the highest tribunal known to the
country, and he folt it would be bettor to com
promise than have to do worse. Thia is sen
sible), and I am of tho opinion thatAUegheny
will nave lo resort to the same for Bclf-protec
tion, foT there is no relief in any other way
and H is all stuff to think that the
commissioners can remain in jail to satisfy
tho cupidity of one man who feels himself
personally aggrieved. A motion was made
by Mr. Williams to postpone the bill for the
present as it was a new feature in legislation,
and on this Mr. W, made a short speech to
which Doctor Anderson from Washington re
plied at some length in rather a sensible speech
in favor of the passage of tho bill. The people
of that county ae6ire the act to cut themeolvea
clear of the railroad bonds for the future.

Tho President has determined to receive no
ono hereafter on Saturday, but will devote that
day to himself, in accordance with the prac

FOREIGN ITEM 9 OF NEWS.
The London Times -toys
American affairs look very awkward. Mr.
Lincoln has arrived at Washington and en
tered upon hU Presidential career with no
thing but trouble staring him in the face.
Strange to say, the Southern Congress enters'
bravely upon a policy of free trade, whilst the
North cuts itself off from every European
sympathy by the introduction of an ultra pro*
tectionist tariff. “President” Davis declares
himself prepared to fight for the integrity of
the confederacy over which he presides; and
_lr. Lincoln talks largely of adopting a firm
and determined course nf action. So we fear
that p eanguibarv conflict is really becoming
imminent, and that the interests of this coun
try trill be str<-n(j!y secured to that division of
the republic which hugs and fondles the eternal
curse of slavery.
It was claimed that the experience of the
Chinese war had demonstrated that England
possessed in the Armstrong gun a weapon un
rivalled by any other country.
The Duchess of Kent, mother of Queen
Victoria, was taken dangerously ill on the
15th, and the Queen and royal family at once
left town for her residence, near Windsor.
The Duchess is said to have long suffered from
cancer, and the disease assumed an alarming
character. She died on the 10th ult.
The case of the Hungarian bank notes, in
the Court of Equity, in which the Emperor
of Austria and M. Kossuth are plaintiff and
defendant, came up on the 14th March, but
was postponed till next term.
Another of those horrible cannibal feasts
so degrading to Africa has again occurred in
Bonny river during the stay of the English
mail steamer Cleopatra, and under the very
eves of the white men. The victims in this
nstance were Borne unoffending negroes cap
tured from a neighboring tribe. Their beads
were cut off and publicly exhibited in front of
the Ju-Ju house (place of worship.) in the
centre of the town
Tee following extract from an article in the
London Times of the 14th of March, shows
the English opinion o( the new Administra
tion at its commencement. What would it
say now ?
But strange to say, the President has as yet
ijiren no signs of his future policy. In this
country we arc not accustomed to such reticence
An English Prime Minister is obliged to lie »
dare his intentions,l ike any other man. On
the huntings of some little borough, before an
audience of rough country fellows, or at a
meeting of his supporters in his own dining
room, he’declares openly wbat are his opinions*
and bew will he apply them in the govern
ment of the country. The institutions of the
United States, though domooralic, do not de
mand tb:s publicity. In many things the
President is an elected despot for four years.—
When once chosen he may at least leave un
done what he pleases, and no cne can force
him to move. In legislation only can he he
controlled ; the executive is left entirely in his
bands. So now, though Mr. Lincoln was just
about to enter the White House and assume
the charge of the truncated Uaion, no one
could really penetrate bis counsels. Men could
only jadge of his future acts by the Ministers
whom he had appointed; and even the construc
tion of bis Cabinet more suited to raise than to
satisfy curiosity. In Mr. Seward the /Vcsi
dent has chosen a man whom the convulsions of
the country have terrijied into moderation. —
Lie has been overcome by the oompietejulfll
ment of his own prophecy. He Bpoke of the
irrepressibla conflict between the North and
South which was to take place, and it has
come, not in his time, not m his own
old age, but within a few months of the pre
diction being uttered. Hence Mr. Seward is
now supposed to represent the party of conces
sion. He has made so conciiilary, so cringing
towards the S >utb, that the ultra*republican
party have denounced him as a political cow
, ard and a time-server. To oppose him, there
is, however, more than one member of Mr.
Lincoln's Cat.intd, and it cannot be doubted
that the opiM-.ns of the abolitionists will be
i fully represented in the new government.
The Indians In Texas.
Tho Indians are exhibiting an increased
hostile loeiiug towards the whites. Intelli
gence from Texas, shows conclusively that the
Catnanche Indians will make a desperate war
fare upon Texas the moment they are satisfied
that the (Tilled Slates troops have left that
State. The Camanchcs have many grievances
again&l the Texans, and are brave and despe
rate. Their movements are very sudden, and
in warfare they are merciless. Cortinas, the
Mexican bandit, will also assail the Texans on
the South.
Governor Houston intends to let the Texanß
have enough of independence, with Cortinas
on or.u side and the Camanches on tho other,
and no troops with which to protect themselves
until they are compelled lo appeal to tho l\
S. for protection.
The Supreme Judges.
The Harrisburg correspondent of the Phila
delphia Jnyuirej' says :
“Tho r<solution of Mr. Williams, of Al
legheny, in reference to the removal of the
J udges of the Supreme Court, will be offered
this woek if an opportunity presents itself.
One result, at least, will follow,!. a start
ing speech, containing all the ‘ points ’ which
the Representative has been able to collect
against the Court.
It is not probable that any action of Mr.
Williams will depose the Judges.
The Chicago Post-Office*
A special agent of the PuUoffice Depart
ment, Mr. Shalleross, took possession on Batur*
day of the Chicago Post-office,in consequence of
alleged mismanagement in it. Isaac Cook is
the Postmaster.
Thk grand jury of Greene county, Georgia,
have issued a presentment, requesting the Leg
islature to enact a law by which any citizen of
that county who subscribes to the N. Y. Post
and Tribune , tho Cleveland Plaindcalrr, or
any other publication of a like character, may

A CUkXUO.
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RE
quest of several of my patients who have improved
coiinderaHy under my treatment, and with the numer
ous applications of some, who are desirous of placing
themselves ander my care, *s well ss to carry out the
suggestions made by the daily press, I have made each
arrangements as will enable me to yield to their wishes
and will remain here tor some weeks longer.
As there are, to my certain k- owledge, in this city
numerous sufferer* from the defect of hen- in ± and sight
who stand in need of my professional services, and who
defer calling until they see that a complete cure is ef
fected on some of their friends or acquaintances who
are under my treatment, forgetting at the same Ume
that their cases may be entirety different, and conse
quently not require the same treatment, or ahould a
protracted one oe neceaaary, it will then not be more in
rov power to undertake their cases at all.
There a?e also many who have been tampered with
by pretenders, ana have, therefore, lost all faith and
hope that there is even a probability of obtaining relief
from thsir ailments, not making any allowance that it
is to the want of proper treatment they owe their Batter
ings. To all those 1 am desirous uf pointing out first,
the testimonials I published here from some of the
most influential citizens of the United Slates ought to
satisfy the most doubting minds i secondly. the Eulo
gium bestowed on me bythe press, would of itself be a
sufficient recommendation, and wove ail, it is with no
small gratification and pleasure that I can rsfer to par
ties in this city who testify to the suocess of my treat
ment, and the great benefit they have derived there
from, and I avail myseU of this opportunity of assuring
those who intend consulting me that they will always
receive from me a candid opinion as to the state of
their malady, and without adapting that charlatan
phrase, guarantee of cure, (which no conacientious
physician would do). I will endeavor to use my utmost
ability to effect a cure where there is a chance of doing
so, where there is none 1 never hesitate of giving my
decided opinion. The years of study and labor I nave
devoted to aural and apthaimio diseases, and the great
experience I have had in Europe and in the United
States, warrants me without fear of contradiction, to as
sert that there is no one in the United States better
qualified to give a more reliable opinion than myself.—
And in conclusion 1 beg to sta’e that those who are
suffering from £he Diseases ot Ear and Eye, should not
loose this opportunity, and as my stay is necessarily
limited, not to loose any time in order to have the full
benefit during my stay, as it will be totally impossible
for me to undertake any case offer the first of May,
where a lengthening treatment and my personal at
tendance willbe necessary,
