BEGINNING OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
The Philadelphia Ledger says that the newspa-
pers are beginning to take the popular vote in
public assemblies upon the Presidential ques-
ton, and we expect soon to see the "voice of
the people" chronicled by every steamboat and
railroad train. This mode of forestalling the le-
gal public sentiment of the country, as express
ed by the ballot box was much in vogue in for
mer Presidential contests In the Jackson and
Adams campaign, there was scarcely any pub
lie assemblage that the vote was not taken, or
pretended to be taken, and officially published
in the newspapers; and, what is little remark
able, it was almost always in favor of Adams,
though the real public sentiment of the country
legitimately expressed, told very different stO-
ry. Some very strange means were resorted to,
in order to get the advantage of this kind of
popular endorsement, but the best dodge that
we remember is that adopted by the captain of
canal boat. He was bringing q large
number of passengers down the Pennsylvania
canal, and had been considerably irritated by
the publications in the Wing papers, showing
that the travelling public were all for Adams
Watching for favorable opportunity, while
nearing bridge, and while his passengers were
on deck discussing politics, he called out, "All
in favor Of Jackson, will stoop their heads"-
Every man ducked of course, to avoid coming
in collision with the bridge, and the captain tri-
umphantly raised his head crying, Unanimous
for Jackson" and so it was reported in the
Democratic paper of the next village This was
considered the best political dodge of the cam
paign.

A coon PARODY.

The following is an excellent parody upOi
"The Burial of Sir John Moore,o which is going
The rounds of the papers:
Not sous had he got--not guinea or note,
And he looked c0unfoundedly Hurried,
As he bolted away without paying his shot,
And the landlady after him hurried.
We saw him again at dead of night
When home from the Club returning;
We twigg'd the Doctor beneath the light
OF the gas lamp brilliantly burning.
An bare and exposed to the midnight dews,
Reclined in the gutter we found him;
And he looked lfea gentleman king snooze,
with his Marshall cloak around him.
sThe Doctors as drunk as the d." we said,
And we managed shutter to borrow;
We raised him. and sighed at the thought that his head
Would "consumedly ache" on the morrow.
We bore him home and we put him to bed,
And we told his wife and daughter
To give him, next morning, couple OF red
Herrings with soda-water
Loudly they talkd Of his money that's gone
And his lady began to upbraid him;
But little he reckd, so they let him snore on,
Meath the counterpane just as we laid him.
We tucked him in, and had hardly done
When, beneath the window calling
We heard the rough voice Of son Of gun
Ofa watchman-"0ne O'Clock 20 bawlng.
Slowly and sadly we all walked down
From his room In the uppermost story;
A rush light we placed on the cold he&tth-stone,
And we left him alone in his glory

A CARD FROM DIR. J. c. Y0UNG'S PRIVATE MEDICAL
n OFFICE-To the afiicted-In this age of progress,
when science almost miraculous everything in common
place is looked upon not worth notice In view of this
up airs has concluded to leave the beaten track hher-
to pursued by most scientific physicians hat of waiting
for the public to find you alone and pnbsh to the world
much may be- his knowledge Of the healing art to let
those who in need Of assistance know where they can
find relief without fear Of being imposed upon.
In continuation Of this subject DR.. Young would say
that for the past ten years he has pursued the practice
medicine in of the largest cities in the United States
with the highest success and that his standing phys
clan without reprOach having at time been lecturer
at the University of Pennsylvania yenera diseases
Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit.
The following a few Of the many testimonials which
have appeared in the public journals within the last few
years:
[From the Boston Medical Journal
Although we opposed to the system Of advertising
for good and sufficient reasons still deem it but justice
to say that DIR. Young is of the most Industrious and
ndeiagable votaries Of medical science in the United
States
From Professor Jasksonl
The subscriber is personally acquainted Dr. Young and
has much Of his practice and bear testimony to
his merits n practitioner
From the New York Herald1
The emnence of this distinguished gentleman in his pro
eson and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation Of venera dsease makes his SER
plants
From the Wing and Advertiser
All afflicted with privale complaints should if possible
consult Dr. Young whose medical education is not sur
passed by any Physician in the Country In his skill hon
and integrity all may rely with safety while most Of
the medical practitioners in this city without honesty
or responsibility, their pretensons being grounded in gno
rance and assumption.
