Surgical and ChirugicaI.

On the 9th of August the Democratic Con-
vention at Auburn conjured DR.. Garcelon, a
somewhat distinguished abolitionist of that
precinct, substantially in these familiar terms:
sIf thou could'st cast
The water of our land, find her disease.
And purge it to sound and pristine health,
We would applaud thee to the very echo,
That should apl laud again." a .
The Doctor thus conjured, after waiting
till the 18th ult., as the Nantucket skipper
said of his unmanageable craft, "undertuk
her" He thinks the case deserves, and ought
to receive the benefit of his skill.
We remember the exclamation of the poor
Danish Prince, when similarly importuned:
"The time is out OF joint; cursed spite
That ever was born TO set it right
But then Hamlet was no doctor and never
had quite all his wits about him. DR.. Gar
celon has all the wits about him he ever had,
and is not only doctor, but a surgeon, an
army surgeon, surgeon general, and the
complicated case of the dislecdted time
whets his professional enthusiasm to the high
est point. And what remarkable case fo1
surgical science it is, according to his dag
nOsis:
Laden as we are with an enormous pubIic
debt, and burdened with taxes grievous 10 De

and our great agricultural and manuiactur-
ing interests reeliug and tottering under an
