10 the Advocate and Gazette for
meeting of "Old Line Wings meet
ing Of gentlemen Of varied political as
poets and antecedents, took place a,
tho Getty Hail. on Thursday even
ing. The preliminary meeting, .
which the Comet suggested, should
take place privately over the market
at the foot of Third street, did not
take place, and as was anticipated by
us, the meeting Of very unharmonious
and conflicting elements was the re-
suit. DR.. Day called the meeting to
order and named Maj, Dufrocq as
President, II. r. Brunot, Esqr., act
ing as Secretary The President sta
ted the object of the meeting. A com
mittee of three, composed Of Col. J..
w. Seymour, Philip Wirree, Jr.,
Esqr., and Dr. Ri. Day were ap-
pointed to agree upon set of suitable
resolutions; they were out but few
minutes, when they returned and re-
ported that they couldn't do it. There
was not tho usual delay in the pro-
ceeding4, for the committee; for each
member thereof anticipating what
would be wanted by meeting of "Old
Liners" had already prepared "se-
rics,' and had then lcgibly written
and safely deposited in their hats
When they reported that they couldn't
agree, Mr.. Winfree read his series and,
moved their adoption. To use che
forcible language Of the Gazette "a
strong vote laid them on the table,"
Mr.. Winfree's resolutions approved Of
the nomination of Mr.. Buchanan for
President. No doubt on account of
his ultra federal and Old Line Wing
proclivities. DR.. Day offered his res
olutions approving the nomination of
Mr.. Fillmore. Col. Seymour offered
as a substitute, his resolutions which
closed with the patriotic sentiment of
Mr.. Rufus Cboate, eve will support
no man for office, who does not sup
port the Constitution, and keep pace to
the music Of the Union" The sub
stitute was laid on the table to keep
company with the resolutions of ?.
Esqr, which by this time
had got (by some kind of hocus po-
cus) under the table. A motion was
then made to call up DR.. Days reso-
lutions. Here, the President got mad
positively refused to put the mo-
Iion--and resigned the chair. A call
was made for several gentlemen to
AXE the chair. Among them Jones

NOTICE TO THE AFFLICTED.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Sr-It is n duty we owe to the
public, and also Dr. C. II. Tozer, of Sacramento
that induces to come before the public with the
statement we are now making
see that il is the custom of some Physicians tC
advertise their own puffs, which read as though you
you yourself had put them in your paper. There
are five of us that have been under Dr. Tozers care
for the last fortnight with diseases of an extraord
nary nature One with an old chronic complaint OF
some years standing from which he had given up
all hopes of ever getting cured for he had employ
ed several Physicians without getting any relief
He was covered with spots and sores from his ank
les to his head, and he is happy to inform the pub
lie that he is now free from every appearance OF
disease, and IS in better health than he has been fol
years
Another of the number came down from the most
northern mines, suffering from what is called Semi
nal weakness He had become so weak he could
not work for loss of memory, dimness of sight &C.
and he will be happy to speak forl himself; if any
doubt it, he can be seen at the above mentioned
Doctors Office. The others were recent complaints
and were perfectly cured in six days, and are now
perfectly well and hearty. l myself have been
troubled with disease for the last six months, and
could not get cured in the country, and came down
to Sacramento, and am happy to say, am now well
for which shall ever feel grateful for think DIR.

ting attention, and can recommend him the most
