through the various branches OF that
science, and wishing topush his enqul-

Mr.. MoRRIs:-.

MIR. MORRlS.-
DR.. Si,--There has report got
in circulation by some kind hearted
soul that operates on the public mind
much to my prejudice as physIclan'
among some of the good citizens q"
W oodsfeld and its vicinity. The re-
port is, that have gone into the prac-
tice OF medicine with no other qualhca-
tions thar what medical knowledge
have acquired by reading some eight
or ten months with Doctor Nc cMahon.
Now sir, this report is wholly without
foundation, as the Doctor will testify,
| had finished my course OF medical
reading with DR.. "John L. Charles NJ.

| ever saw Dr. McMahon. 1t is true !

er. without any calculation OF Offering

MS the place seemed to he well supplied
by Physicians and our residence bu'
temporary in any place. | had not then
determined where to locate myself. In
this state of things ! thought best to
continue reading and improving in the
science of medicine until should de-
termine upon suitable Locations; and
accordingly continued my medical en-
ouiries under the care of DIR. NJ. unit
/ went in with him as partner in the
practice. Will you be so kind ,ir, az
10 give this statement publicity IN the
Spirit of Democracy, and with it pub
lish my recommendation from }. Il
Charles NJ. ID. would not tax you
kindness with this, but circumstances
make it necessary. as my reputation
as a medical man, has already suffered
much by the report referred to.

was his bill; he replied, Sunday, Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday. The man remarked, that
was making the calculation, that he ought not to
charge for Sunday, as he could not make anything
in Louisville on Sunday. He remarked, that he
was to have dollar per day for every day, Sunday
included, and board in the city Of Cincinnati Just

A SIAMESE TURKEY.

Mr. EDITOR: was shown on Saturday last, by
Mr.. William Hutcbeson, Of Centre township,
young Turkey which had two bodies, four legs,
three wings, and but one head. The bodies were
natural and complete and connected at the breast
the head of the one apparently buried in the breast
of the other. The Turkey lived but afew hours
after il came out of the shell. This, Mr.. Editor,
is no hoar, but stern reality. J. M o.

LETTER FROM Mr.. BENTON ON ANNExA-
rioN.-A letter from Mr.. Benton to the Texian
members of Congress on the subjedt OF annexation,
has been published in The Washington Globe. It
is noble letter. full of facts, and containing aful
history of the loss Of that territory originally claim
ed by this government. The conclusion to which
Mr.. Benton arrives does not vary essentially from
the ground taken by Mr.. Van Buren. MIR. Ben
ton says that he looks to "the recovery of Texas
and of our mutiated rivers and natural boundaries,
as inevitable. facts insthe natural iorder Of human

blunder in 1910; let US not repeat the bunder, and

NOMINATION OF CLAY.

Wen, the "ong agony is over" The great
Coon Convention-o ifit suits our opponents bet
ter-the Federal. .whig. coon National Convention,
was held at Baltimore on the lst inst. Mr.. Clay
was nominated by resolution, as candidate for
the Presidency, and Theodore Frelinghuysen Of
New York, late of New Jersey, on the third bal
lot, was selected as candidate for Vice President
Honest John Davis received on the lst ballot, 80
votes, on the I'd, "a, and on the third, 79. Mil
lard Fillmore and John Sergeant, were among the
competitors It is said that even the Rhode Island
Algerines went against "honest john" The ex.
governor, who loaned the Massachusetts, States
arms 10 the usvrpers, may well exclaim:
"This wasthe most unkindest cut ofall." !"
The Young Mems Ratification Convention came
off on the day following. Over 1000 were pres
ent according to their own counting of delegates.
The Convention was addressed by Mr. Webster,
who took the occasion to belitte himself 10 abusing
Mr.. Van Buren. The 'Coons are now in the field
headed by their great leader, who, to use the lam
guage oi one of them has ''the longest tail and the
brightest rings round t''--and this IS the reason,
we suppose, why the enlightened people OF this
great nation are called upon to vote for him. The
Wings have now opened the campa'sn-Demo.

THE SABBATH DAY TO

Mr.. Clay seems to have lost all regard tor the
feelings Of a christian community. Throughout
the political pilgrimage he is now making he has
seemed to select the Sabbath the special and most
fitting occasion for his arrivals at and departures
from the chief stoppiog-places OF his route

Upon all these occasions his movements were
attended with public parades and rejoicings by his
partizans. Hardened from the frequent REPETITION
ofcrme. he has not hesitated deliberately to tram
ple upon the divine commandment, Withholding
even the outward semblance of obedience and re-

THE SUCCESS OFPOLK.-THE PEG
PIE DOWN.

Never before did such sudden change
come over the spirit oftheir dreams as when
it was announced to the People that James
X. Polk was elected President of the United
States. Every class of our community were
exulting in the hope that the election of Mr..
Clay would be accompanied with swelling
tide of prosperity to all the industrial inter-
ests of the co untry, arising from the hope of
permanency which would be given to the
protection under which they had already De-
gan 10 flourish. But instead, sullen gloom
seems 10 have settled upon the business por-
ton Of community. Enterprise IS at stand,
Agricrliuralists are feirifed, manufacturers
are saspeadins. and staguatiOn prevails in
our commercial emporiums. Even the Ne
roes Of Locofocoism have not dared to ex-
hibit any public demonstrations ofjoy while
this ourRome is burning. Nay many Of the
honest and intelligent portion ofthe Demo
cratic party here regret the result of The cam
paign as much as the Wings do, and would
ha'S HiuSh PicieiiSu tue suCctsS Ol MI
Clay.
lndeedit is not idle panic " hich has seized
upon the public mind. The people have
reason to be terrified at the prospects before
them. The election of James X. Polk, no.
torious free trade man, is hailed by the Lo-
cofocos in general throughout the land as
solemn verdict Of the people against protec-
ton. The Locofoco Tariff men ofNew
York and Penn. have placed this tool of
Calhoun and McDuffie, & Co /! in the Pres
idential chair. And after thus having sown
to the wind, eau they expect to reap any
thing better from the whirIwind which is a.
bout to blow, than the overthrowofthe present
Tariff! If the Northern Locofocos could
submit TO see favorite like Martin Van Bu-
rem ANONYMOUSLY hurled overheard to make
way for one James X. Polk of Tennessee,
to what lowlness ofsubserviency to South
ern dictation will they not submit! The
people may rest assured that all the applian-
ces of intrigue intimidation and deception
will be put in requisition by the coming adj
ministration of Southern men to carry out
the experiment of free trade, and compel all
working people to sell the sweat of their
faces at the low prices of human toll in Eu-
rope. And will not their Northern allies
who have already plunged TO the lowest
depths of Humiliation again do their accustom-
ed reverencel
But we shall soon see what we shall see.
In the mean time, whether a good or evil
fate awaits the Tariff, years of depression
must result from the want of confidence
which the elevation Of free trade dynasty
like the present will fasten upon the enter
priimf the country.

HuRsE's TELEGRAPH This wonder

with perfect accuracy and with rapidly
which it is difficult to real Sc In few
moments after the arrival of the mails
from the east at baltimore, or from the
South at Washington, the election returns

with the neetness of thought. The III
terreniny space of some forty miles is
thus literally annihilated, and Baltimore
and y ashington are virtually merged in
10 each other. On frequent occasions
recently, the election returns were trans
mitted frcm Baltimore to Washington and

was communicating to the ether, the SIM
pie and ingenious apparatus at each sta
ten was also recording the information
transmitted from the other. Comnuni-
cations, it will be recollecied, can be
made at any hour of the day or night and
it is not requisite, when intelligence is
