was particularly gratihed, Messrs.
Editors, in the perusal of Vindex, in
your last, with the accompanying edi-
torial matter-and equally regret that
any person, much less one whose duty

promote such commendable objects,
attempting to decry them, in order to
crafty those unholy feelings of envy
and jealousy. l would say to such a

The passage of the Ohio and Poto-
mac Canal bill by the Legislature 9of
Maryland, is subject of congratula-
ton to our citizens; and we are alrea-
DIV convinced how our lynx-eyed neigh
bors of Baltimore are aroused by the
measure, under the impression that the
District is to be benefited at their ex-
pense. They have revelled long enough
in the prosperity resulting from well
regulated turnpikes, backed by their
own enterprise, not to be awake to any
step that is adopted, calculated to in
terfere with their continued welfare
much do wish that we possessed men
of the same spirit. Icannot, however
but remark, that in the present instance
their fears are unusually magnihed.-
The Canal once brought to the DIS
trict, it will speedily be continued tic
the waters of the Chesapeake" and oui
enterprising neighbors Of Baltimore
in common with ourselves, benefited
by this very commendable undertaking
In the meanwhile, let us be on the alert
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1825-02-10

in improving our roads, whereby we
may be enabled to more readily com
mand the inexhaustible resources oil
our interior-and as that of Leesburg
naturally presents itself at present as
the most important, commence with
that. Our citizens cannot, for mo-
ment doubt, how extremely beneficial
it would prove to the town; or can they
less doubt that the farmer will natural
ly seek those markets ,ohich he can ap-
proach ,cith the least inconvenience. The
prosecution of the Canal will naturally
tend to increase the mercantile portion
of the community in Georgetown as
we'll as Alexandria. With an access
sion of capitalists then in the former
place, it is very reasonable to conclude
the farmer will procure quite asstavo-
rable prices for his produce, whilst, un-
less we speedily do justice to ourselves,
better roads are furnished him for the
transportation of it. Let us then, tel-
low citizens, be up and doing, and our
feelings will soon be gratifed with the
pleasing acknowledgment of "better
times" Then will our now too hume
rous untenanted warehouses and dwell
ings be proftably occupied-and our
wharves surrounded by fleets of ship
ping. Then, instead of the now COM
planned of inactivity, we shallbe ANNA
ted by the din and hustle of business,
in the unceasing rafting of the loaded
dray or wagon, the plying of the me-
chanic's tools, and the cheering "Yo
heave, ho!" of the hardy mariner.
Such will be the result of our own en-
terprize. We complain Of Congress, OF
our own peculiar situation, the aid we
lack, &c.-but let us first put our o,ca
shoulders to the ,cheel, and then we shall
not call OH Hercules in vain.

PHILANTHROPY.

We are happy to learn, from an au-
thentic source, that the British govern
ment has very recently communicated
to this government, through our min
lister at London, the interesting lntor-
nation, that that government has come
to the determination to recognize the IN
dependence Of Mexico and BuENos AY-
RES, and also of COLOMBIA, reserving
a declaration as to the latter, until the
effect of the contest in Peru be more
certainly developed; and that this de-
termination will be communicated sue
cessively to all the other foreign pow
ers. National htelEgencer.

others. This is a mistaken idea: these
four teeth are never renewed; and the
ignorance of this fact has often result
ed in the loss of tooth which should
have been preserved. Physicians, and
others, who may have had but few OPP
portunities of observing the growth and
shedding of the temporary teeth, 10y
the bye, many ,oho might haue good OPP
portunities neglect to take advantage Of
them, although it is their duty to do so,)
are very apt to commit depredations
which can never be rectiied, by indis-
criminately extracting the teeth OF chill
dren, because they know that nature is
to provide them with second set. But
a cause of larnentatioh, more often orl-
CLIMATES in the neglect of parents to have
the temporary teeth of children remov-
ed in time, to permit the good arrange
ment of the permanent. lnattention in
this respect is the more unfortunate,
that the time of shedding is an impor-
tant period, on which depends, in a
great measure, whether they have good
or bad teeth through life.

DENTISTRY. 9.
A CITIZEN.

Messrs. EDITORS: The natural his
tory of the human teeth, is subject
which offers a field of vast research and
inquiry, and one which requires mans
close study and attention, if he would
become thoroughly acquainted with it.
Persons in general have little or no
knowledge of this interesting subject;
and it is the more unfortunate, that, i'll
consequence of their ignorance, they
are continually imposed upon by pre-
tending quacks and offensive nostrums.
The profession of dentist, requires a
mans application for some years, be-
fore he can practice it with real use
fulness or justice to his patients, and
credit to himself: and surely no branch
of operative surgery can be more i'm
portant to the former; for none is more
Immediately connected with the peace
and comfort of man. In regard to the
teeth, it would seem as though nature
had bestowed her particular care IN
forming so small part OF our struc-
ture; and it may, perhaps, not be tho't
uninteresting to such of your readers
as have little or no information on the
subject, to take "bird's eye view" OF
their formation, grOacth, and the chan
ges which they undergo.
The gems, or rudiments, Of the first
teeth, Commonly called milk teeth are
laid in the sockets some months pre-
vious to the birth of the child, and may
sometimes be found in fetus of six or
seven months. They are contained in
small membranous pods or sacks, and
there remain during the process of osi-
Gcation, which takes place very gra-
dually, until they acquire sufficient
strength to penetrate through this tenn
porary covering. The progress OF osi-
flying is quite slow, and commences
outwardly; circumstance in which the
growth of the teeth differs from that OF
all other bones of the human frame
When the teeth first make their ap-
pearance through the gums, they are
perfectly hollow to the end OF the fang,
and their outward form is completed,
| nor does it augment in size: but they
continue to osify and fill up inwardly,
until leaving quite narrow channel
through. the fang, or Of each, if there
are several, forithe habitation Of the
| vein, nerve and artery, which branch
out from the larger vessels OF the face,
and give life to the tooth, This hrst
set of teeth consists OF twenty In num-
Der, ten in each jaw, and is usually
completed by the time child has at
tanned the age of four years. The pc
Rod is however uncertain, and varies &C.
cording to the health and constitution
From the sixth to the eighth year, two
large teeth make their appearance in
each jaw, back Of the temporary set
| which are to form part Of the second
growth, or permanent set, when these
replace the first. l particularly make
mention of the four large teeth alluded
to, two in each jaw, because have
known them extracted, under the be-
lief that they appertained to the tempo
rary set, and would be replaced BY

the House, the substance Of which is contain
ed in the following article, from the National

The communication of Mr.. Kremer to the
Committee, and the Committees report, shaii
appear in our supplement tomorrow.
We learn, in respect to the proceed

er's Communication to the House OF
Representatives, that Mr.. Kremer has
declined appearing before the commit
tee, and had addressed to them pa
per of some length, giving the reasons
which had influenced him in the course
which he has adopted. This commu-

ceiyed Yesterday in season to allow the
committee time to consider 1t before
the meeting fthe House.
1t is understood that MIR. Kremer, in
his communication to the committee,
has protested, in very decided terms,
against the authority of the House OF
Representatives, or Of their committee
of inquiry, to hold him responsible Tor
having written the letter which has
been the foundation Of this inquiry, and
he has also protested against the right
of the committee to place him in the
attitude of an accuser, and especially
upon general charges, not contained
in his own letter, but indicated by the
Speaker.

MOVEMENTS OF INDIANS.

1t appears from letters just received
from the Superintendent Of Indian At
fairs, at St. Louis, that great council
of the Cherokees, Delawares, Shawa-
nees, Weas, Kickapoos, Piankashaws,
and Peorias, residing west of the Mis-
sissippi, has been held; at which it
was agreed to receive their Red Breth-
rem from the east, and to invite them
to come among them as soon as posi-
BILE. This subject has been in agita-
ton for about two years; meanwhile,
wampum has been exchanged in great
abundance between the tribes east and
west of the Mississippi, until, at last,
the object of both has been agreed up
on, and deputation is now on its way
to Washington, led by Col. P. Menard,
to conclude an arrangement with the
President of the United States for the
removal of those Indians residing on
the east of the Mississippi. II the ar
rangement is made, it is not unlikely
but it may embrace the tribes in Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois, except the Otta-
was, and few others, who, it is pro-
bable, would prefer to join their friends
west of Lake Michigan.
Those Indians consider the step they
have taken as a very important one to
them; and look upon its completion
as essential to their prosperity and
happiness. They were very agreeably
surprised on learning what the Presi-
dent had said on the subject in his
message to Congress, at the opening
of the session :-"Our Great Father,
said they to Gen. Clarke, must have
been inspired by the Great Spirit; or
have studied we'll our miserable situa-
ton, with a view to our future happi-
ness, to have enabled him to speak to
the great council so exactly in agree
ment with the wishes of the Indians, as
he has in his talk to Congress"
Thus it would seem movement is
begun upon the plan now before Con-
gresss, for lettering the condition of
our Indians, by Indians themselues.-
This certainly augurs favorably to its
ultimate completion. There can be
little doubt, from the nature of the
plan, and its beneficial tendency upon
the Indians, but they will embrace it
just in proportion as they may be en-.
lightened to perceive its natural and
happy effects upon their race.

We see by Philadelphia paper, that Co
vernon Coles has lately recommended to the
Legislature of Illinois the abolition of slavery,
and the punishment Of kidnapping, which, he
SAYS, has become regular trade to the lower
country, to the Red River, and even to the
West Indies.
We need hardly say that we earnestly wish
him success, in bringing to the most ignomi-
NOUS condition, the perpetrators OF SO detesta-
BILE a crime-we mean that of stealing and sell
ing human beings whom the laws of their
country, however impoEtic, have permitted to
be free. We regret, with equal sincerity,
that the policy of any part of our country
should be adverse to his humane recommen
dation in regard to emancipation; but so is,
and until we can see some equitable and fea-
sible plan ofridding ourselves and the objects
of his philanthrophy of still greater curse,
We must confess that we are hostile to the mea-
sure. Once let us see the way clear for dis
posing of them after the benevolent work has

shall not lead to the glorious field.
