DENTISTRY.

We recently had the pleasure of examin.
inga job of Dentistry, executed by our fellow
townsman, JOHN Ii. PoTTs, which we deem
worthy of thus publicly noticing, not SO
much to add to his fame in his profession,
as to lie, such as are laboring under the mis-
fortune of having lost their teeth, know
how easily and perfectly they can be" made
whole
1t was an entire sci, the work of which
appeared TO be Of fine finish, and the fit to
the mouth so perfect, as not only TO look
natural, but feel SO. The plates in which
the teeth were set, for the upper and under
jaw, were united by spiral springs, which
made them work with ease and comfort.
The set for the upperjaw were so construct
ed, that on being detached from the lower,
they maintained their position firmly, by
suction. For all ordinary purposes of mas
ticalion, they admirably filled the place OF
the lost natural oncs-and their being in or
out Of the mouth, made at least fifteen
years difference as to appearance in poin,
of age, to the owner.
We regret 10 learn that Mr.. Potts de-
signs leaving US soon, TO locate in 81. Louis,
where he intends prosecuting his profess
sion. Those who may need his services, in
that city, may rely on his judgment and
skill.

BROKE JAIL.-James Cornelius and Lou
is Weilei, made their escape from the jail
in this place last Sunday night. Cornelius
escaped once before, but was caught
Welei was committed few weeks since
for petty thieving. They made an unsuc-
cessfnl attempt to get out few days be-
fore their escape, but were discovered
They succeeded better in their last at
tempt, notwithstanding they were chained
together, and are now at large.
A fellow by the name of Spry was in
jail at the same time, but refused to fly
with them. and soon after they left went TO
the Sheriff''s house, reused him up, and
communicated the facts. From him it was
ascertained they were supplied with tools
from the outside, by which they forced the
locks. For bis apparent honesty. and con-
sidcring that he had received sufficient
punishment for demonstrating to his better
half that he was the stronger half, he was
turned loose.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.


The last Democrat contains the proceed
ings of the democratic meeting held in this
place last Monday week. and briefly noticed
in our last.
The resolutions denounce the members
Of Congress who voted for Ashmun's
amendment, declaring the war unnecessa-
riIy and unconstitu,ionally begun by the
president" as malignant traitors" and de-
clare the amendment ought TO be expunged
from the Journals of the House; endorse
President Polk and his Cabinet-D. R.
A,chison and the members Of the House,
and glori(y Col. Benton, particularly; and
separate resolution was introduced, after
the series were adopted. daubing his "Ex-
ceIlency John G. Edwards, for his patriot
ic and staesmanl:ke course" One of the
resolutions, also, expressed the belief that
the great body of the Wings are patriot
&c, and ,ciN sustain their country!!"
This meeting was gotten up without the
usual notice, or flourish of our democratic
friends-a and but few Of the party, even
knew for what purpose it was TO be held.
The Chairman, after, or during the appoint.
ment of the usual committee, to draft res.
olulions, and at the instance of one of the
committee. stated its object to be, to give
an expression Of opinion on the subject of
the War, and matters connected with it.
We were not green enough to believe all
this, and we saw democrats present who
were in the same position. We knew that
the principle object of the meeting was to
white-wash Col. Benton, in order to relieve
the party Of the singular position their for
mer meeting placed them in. The Demo.
crat, and many members Of the party, felt
s'rely pricked at the result of that meeting,
and the last was gotten up for the express
purpose above stated
But why was it done stealhily? Were
the particular and peculiar friends of John
c. Edwards and Col. Benton, afraid to pro-
claim to the democracy Of Howard, that
there would be public meeting for the
purpose Of endorsing those gentlemen, and
invite them all TO be present? Our own
opinion is, they were: and that opinion is
founded on the result of the former meet.
ing, and strengthened by the manner in
which the latter was gotten up. If a gen.
eral meeting of the democracy had been
called, and generally participated in, we do
not believe these gentlemen could have been
endorsed with the unanimity they were.
The meeting was quietly gotten up, and
the list of the committee was carefully pre-.
pared and furnished the Chairman, with
special view to an endorsement of the mat.
ter already provided. The providing of
names and resolutions, we know, is CON-
mon in political meetings, and do not par
ticularly find fault with it-but in this case
the object to be attained, rendered il not
only very convenient, but, perhaps, abso
lutely necessary. A Chairman who was
not in the secret. might have placed some
democrat on the committee who could not

Messy. Green & Shirley-In the "Weslern
Journal Of Agriculture, Manufactures" &C., aI>
licle VII, is a communication upon the article
HEMP;
in which the writer says:
"The general impression seems to be that the
larger and rankcr the growth Of hemp, the be-.
ter the crop-whie such is not the case. Ii thu
planters would put from one to two bushe Of
seed more TO the acre. they would find their crops.
not only improved in quality, but increased in
quantity"
My object is not to find fault with, or 10 pick
flaws in eny communication or other article, con
tanned in a publication Of the general merit oil
this Journal but, as in proportion to its circula'
ton. is its spread Of error, as well as truth, it
may not be amiss to counteract that as much as
possible.
As far as my information extends, or my own
experience has impaired knowledge, it is not gen.
orally presumed, that the larger and ranker the
growth of the hemp, the better the crop" On
the contrary, have never heard, or read of but
the single and unanimous opinion, that hemp
about eight feet long is the best, and from ground
suitably prepared and sown, will prove the most
profitable.

all practical agricuIluralisls, in the hemp grow
ing counties Of our State, that the low and spnd>
ling hemp. smolhered down by the good Article,
is much in the way Of cutting, handling and
breaking.
The writer OF the occidental Essayist,"
lately published in your paper, seems to be q
practical farmer, and he says that, "upon rich
soil, properly prepared, one to one and fourth
bushels OF good clear seed is sufficient" In
this assertion, he is sustained by all the growers
