The undersigned is prepared to apply the above
admirable alLpervadng, pleasant, safe, and potent
remedial agent, which has accomplished wonders,
where all other remedies have failed, in the whole

numerous to be here particularized) and in the
actual restoration Of sight, speech, and hearing,
where no destruction Of the organ has taken place.
Most respectable proof from physicians and others
will be exhibited at his apartments, south side Penn

and nearly opposite Browns Hotel, where the
splendid first size or largest apparatus will be kept
in readiness at any hour day or night that may be
appointed; and the second size for use abroad
when required. He has received due instructions
in their application from the inventor, for which he
was previously prepared by many years expert
ence in the use Of electricity in another form.
As this is a subject TO which justice cannot be
done in newspaper advertisement, a communica-
ton will shortly be made to the public in another
way, embracing opinions of eminent physicians Of
the apparatus, and selections from successfully
treated eases.
The undersigned, having twenty-five years ago
been in tho practice, in certain cases. of aidng the

rians, or did when we last heard OF him, and
would not therefore be very likely to sustain
an editor or paper that condemned his posi-
ton. Is the DR.. willing TO leave to the con-
influence it, what shall be his political con-
nectIons, which are as much a matter be-
tween him and his God as are his church re-
lations ! We think not. While he is silent
in relation to the latter, he will doubtlessly
thunder against the supporters Of the Wing
and Democratic parties, will use facts and ar
guments, persuasion and rebuke with a hope
so to influence conscience that it shall give
them no rest until they forsake their present
political organizations and unite with Liberty
party. We claim, on behalf Of Wings. and
Democrats, that as a matter of even-handed
Justice, the editor Of the American Citizen
shall say no more to induce men to dissolve
a political connection which he believes
to be wrong, than he does in favor Of de-
stroying an ecclesiastical connection which
he also believes to be wrong. The religious
federation of witch he speaks, is no more a
universal right than is political federation =
we like not, however, the word federation,
and suppose the idea in his mind was reli-
gious liberty. If he is so tender of the rights
Of conscience that he will not declare wheth-
er he believes that faithfulness to truth re-
quires men to remain in fellowship with
shareholders, or to dissolve their ecclesiasti-
cal connection with them; by what authori-
ty does he violate the rights of conscience by
urging men to sever their political connection
with theml How Inconsistent to wink al
the sins of those who are maintaining slave.
rvs bulwarks, and then declare it morally
wrong to guard her outposts.
