gree. Selecting this as his field of operations, al
though qualified as graduate of the University
OF Pesth and late Chief Surgeon of the Hungn-
rian Revolutionary army, for more extended la

tention t. the cure of chronic and private diseases
in which he has become so great an expert that
he is now regarded as the LEADER IN this branch
of his profession throughout the United States

matter Of interest to their readers in the most
exclusive journals. The Doctors offices are at
his Medical and Surgical Institute, on Sacra-
mentO street, corner of Leideslorff. nearly oppo-

Eminent Douglas men in this city, rec
ognizing the idea that Pennsy ylvania will
decide the contest, and prompted by a cor
cordial hatred Of the administration party,
boldly auow their determination to pote for
Lincoln rather than to suffer the election to
be thrown into the House. Hickman has
boldly gone over to the Republican ranks;
Forney, some believe, will follow
OF course he will. He is death on ad.
mlnistration office holders, because he could
not get one himself; he has accepted Office
at the hands of the Republicans; he has no
'ympathy with Judge DouGLAs further than
70 use his name to divide the party; he has
already declared against Gen Foster Demo
cratic nominee for Governor; and hence it
