Walton, where he is fully prepared to treat
che natural teeth, and also to insert incorrup-
tible artificial teeth on pivot and plate, in the
latest and most improved manner. Most
persons know the danger and folly of trust
ing their work to the ignorant as well as
the travelling dentist. 1t matters not how
much experience person may have, he it
liable to have some failures out of a numbes
of cases. and if the dentist lives at distancer
it is frequently put off until it is too late to
save the tooth or teeth as it NAV be, other
wise the inconvenience and trouble of going
so far. Hence the necessity of obtaining the
services of a dentist near horne. All work
warranted.

Why DIDN'T THEY NOMINATE LIN
coin ?-I. is certainly an interesting in
quiry why the Democrats at Chicago did
not nominate Lincoln. They nominated
his lieutenant--a man who has obeyed all
his orders, and endorsed all the leading
features of his policy, with the only diff
ference that Mr.. Lincoln did not go far
enough and fast enough to suit him =
Thus, Mr.. Lincoln ordered draft in
1868 and 1864, while Mcclellan wanted
it enforced in 1861 and 1862. Mr.. Lin
coin directed the making OF a few arbitra-
ry arrests of isolated individuals for dis
loyalty, while Mcclellan wanted whole
Legislature gobbled up for that offence
Mr.. Lincoln issued proclamation Of
emancipation in the fall of 1862, while
Mcclellan advised the confscation and
forcible liberation of slaves in the spring
of that year. Mr.. Lincoln directed the
employment of military force for the sup
preston of the rebellion frcH his chair in
Washington, while Mcclellan went into
the field in person to help suppress the
rebellion Mr.. Lincoln was compelled by
his oath of Office to prosecute the war
which treason forced upon the govern
ment, while Mcclellan volunteered to help
prosecute. Truly, General Mcclellan,
with his record, is the last man who ought
to run as a "peace' candidate AS well
might they support Abraham Lincoln.

President Lincoln Serenaded---
He Makes a Speech.

President Lincoln was serenaded at the
White House, on the evening of the 10Th,
by large crowd of loyal Marylanders,
when he made a speech congratulating
them, the State, the nation, and the world
upon the adoption of the new Maryland
Constitution. He said:
"I am notified this is a compliment paid
me by loyal Marylanders resident in this
District. I infer that the adoption of the
new Constitution for your State furnishes
the occasion, and that in Jour view the
extirpation Of slavery constitutes the chief
merit of the new Constitution Most
heartily do | congratulate you and Mary
land, and the nation, and the world, upon
the event. regret that it di6 not occur
two years sooner, which l am sure would
have saved to the nation more money than
would have met all private loss incident to
the measure. But il has come at last, and
L sincerely hope its friends may fully re-
alize all their anticipations of good from
it, and that its opponents may, by its eft
fects, be agreeably and proitably disap-
pointed.
IA word upon another subject Some
thing said by the Secretary of State in his
recent speech at Auburn has been con-
strued by some into a threat that if | shall
be beaten at the election, l will, between
then and the end of my constitutional
term, do what may be able to ruin the
government. Others regard the fact that.
the Chicago Convention adjourned, not
sine de, but to meet again, if called to do
SO by particular individuals, as an il TINA
ton of purpose that if their nominee
shall be elected, he will at once seize the
control OF the Government | hope the
good, people will permit themselves to
suffer no uneasiness on either point [
am struggling to maintain the Govern
ment, not to overthrow it. [ therefore
say, that if | shall live, | shall remain
President until the 4th OF next March,
and that whoever shall be constitutionally
elected therefor in November, shall be
duly installed as President on the 4th of
March, and that in the interval l shall do
my utmost that Whosoever is to hold the
helm for the next voyage shall start with
the best possible chance to save the ship
''This is due to the people both on prin-
ciple ard under the Constitution. Their
viii constitutionally expressed is ultimate
law for all If they should deliberately
resolve to have immediate peace, even al
the loss of their country and liberties, |
have not the power or the right to resist
them. 1t is their own business, and they
must do as they please with their own
L believe, however, they are still resolved
to preserve their country and their liber-
ty, and in this, in Office or out of office, [
am resolved to stand by them. may add
that in this purpose to save the country
and its liberties, no classes of people seem
SO nearly unanimous as the soldiers in the
field and the seamen ahoat. Do they not
have the hardest OF it? Who should quail
when they do not (? God bless the soldiers
and seamen, and all their brave comman-
ders"

Voices from Chicago.

In order to a correct understanding of
the influences which operated to the fra
ming of the Chicago Platform, and to give
some idea of the character Of those COM
posing and endorsing the convention, we
subjoin extracts from few of the speeches
delivered just prior to the nomination of
Mcclellan and Pendleton
Fernando WOODS DEMAND OF THE CONVENTION.
This leading Democrat said:
"Let US demand OF the convention,
above everything else, that they give us
peace. Let us insist that they shall
respond to the demand, and not intermit
our efforts until we have brought them to
triumphant conclusion" (Cheers.)
DONE NOTHING TO HELP THE WAR.
Mr.. Van Allen said +:
81 have been peace man from the
beginning, and have done nothing to help
the war that could avoid, for I believed
that it would result in an abortive attempt,
and that an effort to subjugate the sover-
eign States would only bring destruction
to the people, collapse our finances, and
send desolation and death through all our
homes. Has not that been the result?"

WHAT IT Is TO REINFORCE OUR SOLDIERS.
Rev. Henry Clay Dean said:
''Since the day when Ahasuerus issued
his edict for the murder of the Jewish
nation, a more gigantic crime has never
been recorded than the recent edict Of the
ignorant baboon at Washington, calling
for half million more of your sons and
brothers, for fresh immolation to the
Abolition God"
