ventual right Of the States to determine the e.
lection, has always been offensive to the friends
of consolidation. They have now united with
those who wish 80 promote favorite to the
Presidency, and who, reckless o. the means,
are willing TO "subvert the government under
which we live, = as the only hope OF attaining
their end. The pretence of purifying mot re-
ducing 1.-The Executive patronage of the govern
ment, is seized upon as their justification. The
complaint is, that President elected by the
States, will appoint his friends to Office, who in
turn support him. But experience teaches us,
thst President elected by the people is not
more inclined 10 favor his enemies or slight
his friends. Jefferson, Madison, &Monroe, were
all elected ''by the people," the first dispensed
his patronage on the ayowed principle Of pre-
ferring the friends of his administration, and
excluding his enemies. His conduct was APP
proved, and who will impeach his integrity
Mr.. Madison followed his example, and his adj
ministration has been lauded by the whole ma
ton, except Gen. Jackson, who, when it became
convenient to hatter his successor, discovered
that he wss not competent to preside in time OF
war, but that Mr. Monroe was!! The executive
patronage, during the administration OF Mr.
Monroe, seems to have been specially exercised

tition with Mr. Madison, in 1912. They were
sought out and appointed TO Office, and some OF
them gave but poor specimens Of integrity or
talents, although their patron was elected 6y me
people. Yet nobody complained Of the Presl'
dent as either corrupt or corruptible. Between
the two modes of choosing Pre- sident, regard,
ed merely as means of making the best selec-
ton, there has been no opportunity OF Judging
until the late election; wherein the States pre-
ferred as President Mr.. Adams to Gen. Jackson,
the statesman to the soldier; the people prefer
red as Vice President, Mr.. Calhoun to Mr..
Gallatin, or Mr.. Sanford, or any body else-a
demagogue rather than any one Ola host OF pa
triots and statesmen. The President refuses to
prostitute the Executive patronage to purchase
the support of his enemies, and they "go 10
work upon his powers" and reputation, and
propose to "trim these down." because he would
not corrupt them. The Vice-President joins
the Coalition, and prostitutes his office to adj
vance their purposes, and to CRAFTY his own I'M
holy revenge. This political
'Iago doth give up

NEW SURGICAL OPERATION.

There is in The middle Of each tooth, as eve
ry anatomist knows, a little cavity, in which
the fine branches Of nerves, passing through
the roots of the teeth are expanded. This ex-
pansion of nervous matter is the seat of sensa-
ton in the teeth, and when, by carries or decay
of the enamel, it is exposed to the external a.
gencies the patient is generally obliged, on &C.
count of the violence of the pain, TO have the
whole tooth pulled out.
An ingenious surgeon from America, lately
settled in London, has satisfactorily shewn that
the diseased part of the tooth, including the ca
WHY above described, may be cut of with the
greatest ease and CELEBRITY, and that the sound
root or roots may be allowed to remain in their
sockets. This mode of procedure has been
shown and explained to the most scientific sur
geons Of this town, who have, without excep-
ton, expressed their conviction ofits utility
The operation has been performed on more
than two hundred members of the profession,
and they have invariably declared that it occa-
stoned no pain, and that 1t could scarcely be
felt, as their own certificates show. The instru
ments used for this purpose are very simple;
they are few plain forceps, right angled and
straight, with cutting edges, like the common
surgical bone forceps, but these edges are
maze accurately W III lhC HtCHS vi tHt teelU,
and only the necks; so that, however decayed a
tooth may be, the forceps may be safely and ca
silly applied without any risk Of breaking the
tooth Having been thus carefully applied on
the neck of a tooth, the edges of the forceps
should be held parallel to the edge of the gum,
and should be made to press it down little fin
order to get at the neck about line below the
usual height of the gum; the handles of the
forceps are then pressed gradually but firmly
together, and in moment the upper part of
the tooth snaps off, including the cavity contain
| ing the expansion of the nerve, and thus in an
instant permanently relieves all pain. The ad-
vantages of this operation are-lst. 1t is pain
less and instantaneously performed Cd The
| surface of the sound stump remaining in the
Jaw pre- sents firm base for mastication, or for
the fixing of an artificial tooth. Sd. What is of
greatest moment, the stump or stumps left in
the jaw afford a firm support TO the adjoining
teeth, and without which support the alveolar
process corresponding to the part before occu-
pied by the diseased tooth and part of the in
terstice structure of the jaw, become absorbed;
the adjoining teeth in few years become loose,
and ultimately prematurely fall out, as daily ex-
perience shows.
Mr. Fay has, for his improvement in this
branch of surgery, and for other forceps for the
perpendicular extraction of teeth, when extrac-
ton may be absolutely required, received the
large silver medal from the Society of Arts and
the instruments, with engravings, will be pub
lished in the next volume of the Transactions
of the Society.

Of Rhetoric, which the learn'd call rigmarole.
After all, it may well be doubted, whether
they ever intended seriously to urge the pas
sage of any of these bills, and certainly they
never calculated on, or perhaps even wished,
their adoption. Sensible of the convenience Of
enveloping themselves in mist, that they may
aloom large," and appear to their admiring
followers Of more than ordinary size, they sub
mitted their project that they might indulge
in defamation, carefully avoiding the plain
ground of reason and argument, on which they
would expose their diminutiveness. Surely
they did not intend to throw dirt into the toun-
tain out Of which they have all been anxious to
drink, and expect to slake their thirst for office,
when their idol shall have the distribution of
the pure refreshing waters. In making their
eeint they were careful, however, to provide for
themselves, if peradventure the people should
believe them to be in earnest, and take them at
their word
