the practice of DENT1STR Y in all Us branch
es, und has fitted up an office, over the store
of McGuire A Pinson, whore ho is prepared
to execute ail operations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
Hu would also call tho particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior stylo of tooth, set on gold plato ; for
beauty, strength and life-like appeaeance,
they are not s urpassod. As an impression has
boon raado that my prices for dental opera
tions arc higher than tho usual run of Den
tists, I bog leave to say that they are the same
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work my ohar
ges are as follows :
Entire 8ots Upper nnd Lower from$100 to $25k
Half Sots, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sets, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sots in proportion to tho above.
As I am well posted in all the Into improve
ments of the day, I fool confident tbnt I can
meet tho wants of all who may need tho ser
vices of a Dontist, and if references are want-

3. A distinct announcement that' the

4. That slavery, as it exists among us,
is civilly, morally, and religiously right;

practice of men in nll ages ; and that it
ought to bo extended.
The record of Mr. Bell, running
through a period of more than a> quar

birth ; and of his love to the Constitu

These opinions of Mr. Bell, so long

Very respectfully,
THOMAS H, WATTS,
Nashville, July 22d, 1860.
Deab Sir :—Your letter of tho 9th
inst., was received ten days since, and
it is due to you, as well as myself, to
state the causes which have delayed my
answer to this late day; to explain what
otherwise might be imputed to me as
si discourtesy. Such a statement is due
to numerous other gentlemen, who, in
the last month or six weeks, have ad
dressed letters of inquiry to me, from
different quartors of the country, bb to
tny views and opinions on the more
prominent questions at issue in the pon
ding canvass, nnd which have received
no answer.
To the the inquiries in all such letters
there was but one reply, as I conceived,
which could, consistently and. properly
be made, under tho circumstances of
my position; which was to refer the
writers to my post course; to the views
nnd opinions 1' have heretofore held and
expressed on the subjects or questions
embraced in their letters. But it ap
peared to mo thnt a reply, containing
nothing more than such a general refer
ence, without pointing out the particu
lar votes, speeches ana other evidences
of wliac I had said or done in connec
tion with the questions made the sub
jects of inquiry, or stating where they
were to be found, would lie ungracious,
to say the least of it. To make such
references in my answers would far ex
coed t he ordinary limits of a letter, and
1 concluded that it would be more con
venient and satisfactory to both parties
to accompany my answors with a prin
ted collection of such of my speeches
and letters as huvo a direct bearing up
on tho subjects of controversy; or of such
copious extracts therefrom, as to leave
nothing to be supplied by further quo
tations from them. The preparation of
such a compilation was immediately
commenced, by a member of the Cen
tral Union Committeo of Tennessee.—
It is now completed, and I transmit,
herewith, a copy of it, printed in tho
“Notional Union." It was issued fh>m
the press a week later than was antici-
patodby me, and hence my answer to
our letter, as well os. to otliors, has
jeen delayed a week beyond the
time I had proposed to myself to answer
them. ,. , ■ . ,
For the reasons which impel me to
deoline any further answer to theinquir-
ios in your letter, I refer you to the first
and second pages of the “National
Union.” You will observe that the
ground there taken is, that it would bo
inconsistent with the declared views of
the convehtion whioh placed me in the
position I now occupy before the pub
lic, to make any now declaration of
principles. But I do not choose to
shelter myself finder the authority of
the nominating convention against any*
reproach I may incur in consequenoe
of the course I have thought it my du
ty to pursue in relati&n to uiis subject.
Had 1 been a member of the Conven
tion, I would have resisted the adop
tion of any platform, or other declara
tion of principles, not embraced or im
plied in the three fundamental propo
sitions or objects intended to be main
tained and secured by the National
Union party, and whioh, constitute the
basisotits organization: “The Consti
tution, the Union, and the enforce-
meat of tho Laws.” The great aim of
the National Union party,is to restore
peace, with justice to both sections df
file Union —net to perpetuate strife:
Whatever -may be the poliay or de
sign* of .others, North ,and South, who.
in their letters, h*re insisted upon
their rights, as a matereof,principle, to
e to,deolare i
pon any*' Or i *
tions which have beconi
controversy in the present can v
contend that I cannot refuse compli
ance with their demands, withouta Vio
lation of'the obligation they assume to
exist k>h niy part as a candidate for
publfo'^>rtfoe, i have ho distrust of your
sincerity' nnd good feith in radettg
.earnest, appeals to me, whioh you do'in
your letter, to take a course, which I
hope you will, upon reflection, perceive
would not be in conformity. with ' the
intentions and expectations of these
who chose me to be* Ihoirleodwy and
tlio ropresetative of their policy and
principles: norfdo lt doubtjtoHTistwMte

with deep regret; that I fljxT'ibysflf
constrained to differ with yon in any of
your views, and most of all to have’to
say to you, that'I cannot go beyond the
record of my political life, in respond
ing to the question presented in yonr
letter.
If, in the authentio exposition of my
course upon the sutgeotor slavery, run
ning through a period of trientyfise
years, you can find nothing to inspire
you with confidence that, in the event
Of my election, 'I would so > employ the
power and influence of the Executive
Department of the Government^m to
f ive no just ground of complaint totlto
outh, or any other section of the
Union, while I would regret' the losabf
your support and that of your friends, I
could not reasonably expeot to receite
it.
You are at liberty to make any ose
of this letjer you may think proper.
I am, with groat respect ana the most
friendly regard.
You obedient servant,
JOHN BELL.

Conflict between two Boa Constric

belonging to Wombwell’s collection, at
E resent at Plymouth, were, during the
ours of exhibition, placed in a gloss
ease, for the purpose of being b fed. A
rabbit was put into the case, and one of
the boas immediately made for the
prey. The rabbit, however, eluded tlte
fangs of its enemy by a sudden jump,

dealing its deadly blow on the floor Tab-

was now fiercely maintained on both

Abolitionists Oauohy.—On the 3d
July, as the Galveston News learns from
a letter in tho Brenhaip Enquirer, three
men, Clock, Sr., his son, and Perkins,
his son-in-law, were arrested in Chappel
Hill) and brought before a publio meet
ing,, on a charge of being Abolitionists.
A committee of twelve of the most re
spectable citizens was appointed to in
vestigate toe affair. It was proved by
Averai gentlemen that the accused had
repeatedly said they were Abolitionists;
that there were three thousand Aboli
tionists in the State; and that in three
years the Blaok Republicans would rule
the State, and that they sympathized
witn the negroes. The accused were
ordered to leave the State as soon as
tlioy could arrange their business. They
havo complied with' the. order. Clock,
Sr., is about forty yearo old and hump
ed backed; young Clook is about twen
ty-one, and Perkins about twenty five.
