for temporary sets, and when thc gums are so ten
der and irritable that gold plates cannot be worn.
Persons often object to having their teeth ex
tracted on account of thc time required for the ab
sorption of the gums. This may be avoided by
the use of Gntta Pereha Plates. The teeth may
be extracted aud a handsome life like set be put in
the same week, and at a small expense, and can
be worn \tith comfort. I have inserted a number
of set. that are now in use and doing well.
I am now putting up a style of work superior to
that of Dr. Allen’s Patent, so admitted by his

have discontinued its use, and now use single gum

I 7MIOM my Plantation in Twiggs county,
1 on tlic27th June, twonegro girls, Emily
and her daughter Mary. Emily is a dark
brown mulatto, with a small scar on one of her
cheeks; she lets a wen on the mold of her head,
she weighs about 130 pounds, she has a full head
of long black hair; stout built. Her daughter
Mary is nearly white, slender built, long hair so
that it turns under, she weighs about 125 pounds,
rather thick lips, freckles on her face, 1ms a scar
on one of her knees, caused by a burn. I think
she w ill try to claim her mother as a servant and
get off with some scoundrel that has enticed them
to runaway: sin* is pregnant by the scamp that has
gut them off, but she tries to hide it. i will pay
a handsome reward for one or both of them. They
were bought of Mrs. Francis Colbert, of M tin roe
county, aud Emily lias a sister there; and she may
try to get back. Emily wore off a white dress,
the other a broad striped calico and a calico bon
net. 1 will give $5!ftl for thc scamp that enticed
them off, with sufficient proof to convict him.

The Yankee’s Triumph.
Colonel Zerubbabel G. Snoggs (of the Cata-
wampns Aligators,) being in London, on hi\way
to St. Petersburg, with a well-assorted stock of revol
vers, breech loading rifles, wooden clocks and nut
megs, and Y’ankee “nations” generally, and see
ing in the Times that the British government had
resolved not to dismiss Mr. Dallas, gave, vent to
bis patriotic exultation by whistling ,‘ Y’ankee
Doodle” with great vehemence for about, twenty
minutes, after which liis thoughts found expression
in the following characteristic strains, which he
sang to his national melody.
I do pertest I’m like to bust
With rale almighty laughin’,
To see old Pamrny lick the dust.
In spite of all his chaffin’.
I guess it riles ye. Daddy Bull,
That Jonathan should saree ye.
But, if we’re strong we’re marciful,
Which means, we’ve might and—Marry!
Bull secs ’taint Turks or Rooshans now
He’s got to do a job with ;
lie shirks the hard fist in the row.
We'd smash liis darn’d old nob with;
And so lie fights on common shy
Of this enlistment question,
And makes believe that humble pie
Is good for his di gestion.
Roll up that cust old Union-jack,
The rotten rag we've tramped on:
They dam t send our Dallas back.
Though wt'ce, kicked out their C'rampton.
I calkilate, in Washington
They’ll be ashamed to show face.
For there at them wilt poke liis fun
Thc most onrizzest dough-face.
I kinder think this critter Bull,
With all his brag and puffin,’
I whittled down, most bewtiful,
To tho finest pint o’miffin’,
And’while the varmint holds his peace,
And shakes with tear’s blue ague
We'll go ahead as slick as grease
And hook on Nickaragey.
Then Cost crikey we’ll annex,
Honduras and Mosquito,—
I guess that stroke old Bull will vex,
And make him cuss his fleet O !
Round Cuba, next, we.throw the loop,
And, while the Lion cringes.
Our Eagle makes another swoop.
And claws up the West Ingies !
So, now we’ve tree’d the cute old coon
That tried so long to dodge us,
We’ll let him see, tarnation soon,
He’s built a house to lodge us
And if he dare to show us fight.
Within th>* reach of cable,
If we don't make his timbers light
My name ain’t Zerubbabel!

Dimpled cheeks and snowy shoulders;
Dreaming dreams yon dare not tell—
Fascinating all beholders—
Laughing, dancing, fairy elf.
Tell us where you hide yourself.
Seated by the garden wall.
Where the green leaves shade your blushes
Round your feet the rose-leaves fall,
By your side the fountain gushes—
Shadows dancing round your face,
Dreaming in this lovely place.
Are the visions bright aud fair
That your passing moments bless?
YVon’t you tell us what they are?
Come, niv beauty—now confess!
Sitting by the garden wall,
When- thefagrant rose-leaves fall.
May the visions that arise—
Visions which you fondly cherish—
With ins love yon dearly prize,
Never fade away or perish.
Happy, joyous, blooming Belle,
Dreaming dreams you will not tell.

Letter from Hon. II. V. Johnson.
Executive Chamber, }
Milledgeville, Ga., June 25, 1356. j
Gentlemen: Y’our polite invitation to unite
with the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order,
on the Fourth of July next, in commemoration of
the adoption of the Declaration of American Inde
pendence, has been duly received. Mv engage
ments here forbid my acceptance, but I cordially
sympathize with the object of your festivities—
designed as they are to celebrate tho anniversary
of the most important event of which history keeps
the record.
Clouds lower over our political horizon and
threaten to burst in thunders which may shake
to its foundations, if not overturn the fair fabric of
our liberty. The disturbance of our relations with
Great Britain is a matter of deep regret, but the
regret is mitigated by the consciousness of the
rectitude of our position. Being right gives the
hope that all will be adjusted «ithout an appeal
to arms, and that hope is strengthened by the con
sideration that the interest ot the two countries,
as well as of the whole world, is so adverse to war
that the people on both sides of the wat?r will be 1
disposed to calm counsels, and thus guide each I
government in the path of a temperate, concilia
tory and just policy.—After all, it conflict must
needs come, the consolation is left to us that it
will unite every extreme of the Union in vindica
tion oi our country’s right and honor, and thus to
cause us to forget, lor a time at least, our section
al strifes, while the results of ultimate triumph
will bring home to our people a new demonstra
tion of the value of a united Confederacy.
Our distractions at home are to be dreaded tar
more than the shadws which rest upon our for
eign relations. They spring from the contest of
brother with brother—section with section. They
are the fruits of radical differences of opinion
touching the institution of domestic slavery, and
of the protection to which it ; s entitled under the
guarantees of the Constitution of the U. States.
From the very nature of the question, involving
as it does, on one side, grave religious principles,
it is almost impossible that the controversy should
not be tinged with fanaticism. It is colored,
and therefore the spirit that wages it is intolerant,
aggressive, and unrelenting. It ignores sound
Constitutional principles, and the teeling of po
litico-fraternal affection is consumed by a phrenzi-
ed philanthropy. If this agitation shall be con-
tinned; day after day, corroding the bands of the
L?nion and engendering hatred, it requires not the
ken of prophesy to forsee the end. YVho does not
deprecate that end! Considering the price that
was paid for our liberties, the wisdom displayed
in our Constitution, the glories of our past history,
and tho bright career which opens lip to us in the
future, if their descendants would prove worthy of
their ancestors, where and who is the man that
will not unite, on the Fourth of July, in praying
the God of Nations to forefeud us from so gloomy
a fate? . .
There is bnt one remedy and that remedy is in a
speedy return to a strict obseivnnco of the finsti
tution of the United States—a delicate and just
regard for the rights of the States and the equali
ty of tie* States. If a controlling majority of this
Republic, represented by a contro.ling majority
in both Houses of C> ngress, would adopt this
remedy and adhere to it uniformly and firmly, ev
ery cloud would instantly disappear—factions and
fanatics niiglu rage and gnash their teeth, but the
storm would dash in vain against the rock of the
Constitution Exhausted by their fruitless as
sault, like thc baffled billows, they would retire
and sink into the ocean of merited obliviun.
. The Abolitionists and Free Soilers either mis
understand or intentionally misrepresent the dis
position of thc slaveholding States. They assert
that the South is aggressive and se.eks to use the
Government to extend the area of slavery. Such
is not true, as is clearly shown by the whole his
tory of this controversy. Missouri was slave ter
ritory and sought to bo admitted as a slave State
into the Union The North opposed it and insist
ed on the restriction of 36 deg. 30 min. The South
yielded to it as a compromise. Texas was a slave
State; the South desired its annexation, bat this
was resisted, except on the application of the same
restriction. The South acquiesced.—When the
territory acquired from Mexico was to be organ
ized into territorial governments, the South was
still veiling to abidt- by an extension of thd Mis
souri restriction to the Pacific Ocean. It was then
repudiated by the North; California was admitted
into the Union as a free State, and the South ac
quiesced in that, becanso it was a part of a schemo
of pacification, embracing the organization of
Territorial governments for Utah and New Mexi
co, npon the principle of non-intervention by
Congress aud the recognition of the principle,
that hereafter States were to be admitted into the
Union with or without slavery, r.s the people of
the Territory might determine. The South
thought, that the compromise of 1850 was to give
a uiiietiJs to agitation. When thc Kansas-Nebras-
ka bill was introduced, it contained a renewal of
the recognition of non-intervention, and, to put
thc question forever at rest, the restriction^of 18-
2 ) was repealed in terms. This relieved the South
ern States of an odious and invidious discrimi
nation against them, and placed them upon an
equality with the other States of the Union.—
fhen, why should the Abolitionists and I* ree-
Soilrrs rail against the Kansas-Nebraska act -
Th--y bad repudiated the Missouri Compromise in
1851), why insist upon it now? Its repeal docs
not. ipso facto extend the atea of slaveholding
territory. Its only effect is, to open the territory
to emigrants from'every State in the Union, upon
t>-rins of equality It leaves the question, of sla
very to be settled by the people of the Territories.
In other words, it makes the question of slavery,
one of emigration. If anti-slavery emigrants pre
ponderate. the Territory will lie erected into a
free State; on the other band, if pro-slavery em
igrants preponderate, it will be made a slave
State.
The character of thc emigrants, so far as this ques
tion is concerned,other causes being permitted .than
•no other to have legitimate effects, will be deter
mined by soil and climate, upon which depend the
value and character of labor. Here is precisely
where tli • Kansas-Nebraska act leaves this whole
subject. Who will say it is not judicious? Is it,
not infinitely better, to let thc question rest here,
than to have the country continually agitated aud
distracted? Does it not commend itself to every
friend of political peace and harmony? Admit, if
you please, that the Kansas-Nebraska act con
tains features which all cannot approve. Yet is it
not wise, to let it stand as a final settlement of
this painful and unfriendly strife? I believe a
great majority of the American people will so de-
cidc. _
The Abolitionists and Free Soilers denounce the
South bitterly for the state of tilings in Kansas.
YVlicn passion and prejudice shall have subsided,
thc right minded will do justice to this section of
thc Union. The Soutli is not responsible for the
discord in Kansas. -She is but acting on the de
fensive. She did not initiate the policy which has
produced it. She saw from the movements of the
Massachusetts Emigrant Society, and other move
ments having a similar object, that the Abolition
ists and Free Soilers did not intend to abide by
the principle of non-intervention; and failing to
accomplish their purposes in Congress, that they
were determined to effect it in another way by
sending anti-slavery emigrants into thc Territory.
Can it be expected that the slaveholding States
would be indifferent to such an attempt? If, up
on tin- principle of self-defence, the pro-slavery
men from the Southern States have gone thither,
is it to be condemned? If agitation, and even
bloodshed, have ensued, could it have been sup
posed that it would have been otherwise? YY ho
is to blame bnt those who initiated this aggressive
policy? Let the consequences rest upon their
heads. If this system of emigration and counter
emigration had never been commenced, it is very
probable that Kansas would have beeu a free State
without a struggle, and applying for admission as
such, the South would have welcomed her into
the political family; the representation from the
slaveholding States would have voted cheerfully
for her admission. They wonld have been bound
to do so upon the principles of the Kansas-Nebras
ka act. But the South has been drawn into this
contest; if the result shall be the formation ot a
slaveholding State, the friends of the Constitution
and the Union will admit her as such, and tho
Free Soilers and Abolittonists will be left to the
consolation of cursing their own misguided pol
icy. . . . ,
It is frequently asserted by the Abolitionsts and
Free Soilers, that the Sonth is anxious to increase
the slave power iu the Government, by which is
meant, that she desires to add to the number of
slave States, in order to augment her representa
tive strength in the Federal LegjslaUire This is
not true—that is to say, she dnesjseek to do this
os a fundamental principle of action. Her solici
tude, which inay^fceAt'^seeiced to look-in that
direction, results from the conviction that it the
anti-slavery clement shall gain a permanent as
cendency, her rights will be disregarded. This
conviction has been produced by agitation of the
question in Congress, where it should never have
entered, and the growing evidence of an intention
to degrade the Southern States from their position
of constitutional cqualiiy. The South does not de
sire to increase the slave power in the Govern
ment for purposes of aggrandizement. She rath
er desires to retain her power—preserve an equili
brium—to enable her to counteract aggression un
der the forms of legislation. The South desires to
preserve the Union. This can be done so long as
she can successfully resist the violation ot her
rights in Congress. But should her representa
tive strength be so reduced as to be inadequate
for this purpose, and the spirit of aggress-on
should continue, then she will be forced to the
alternate of disunion or degradation. She de
precates both, and .that is thc secret of her anx-
i*-ty in reference to the slave power in the Govern
ment.
If the slaveholding States could see a bona fide
adherence to a strict construction of the Constitu
tion of the United States, a faithful recognition of
and obedience to the principles of non-interven
tion, you would discover no solicitude on their
part whether a State, upon its admission, was
slavcholding or free; because then if there were
bnt one slaveholding State in the Union, she
would be as secure in her rights as if all were
slaveholding States. She would rest quietly un
der the wgis of the Constitution; knowing that
she would not be molested. YY hy should not the
Southern States enjoy this guarantee?
.The Constitution was adopted for the Gorern-
ment of the United States—that is, to control the
action of the Government. While the people of
the States from whom it emanated are bound by
it, so far as they have delegated their powers, it is
the organic law adopted by them for the guid
ance of the Government—to govern the Govern
ment.—Hence the importance of a strict construc
tion. The officers of Government—executive, leg
islative, judicial—have no powers but such as are
delegated to them and specified in the Constitu
tion. Now if this truth could be stereotyped up
on the minds of all who till positions of political
trust, what a jubilee it would bring upon our
country!—YVhat harmony, what peace, what se
curity!
But instead of this, how many there are intrust
ed with power that forget that the Constitution
was formed as a check upon them-that it is a pow
er of attorney from the people of the States, con
stituting them servants? Instead of consenting
to serve and to be governed by that Constitution,
as thev swear to do, they assume to themselves
the power to govern the people and to dictate to
them, in a distant Territory, in reference to the
character of their civil institutions. The Consti
tution of the United States neither expressly nor
by implication, confers the power to create or abol
ish slavery. But the class to whom I refer claim
the power, and this is the forbidden fruit that
brings us ail our political woe. YVill not the mass
es of people of this country—lovers of the Consti
tution and the Union, in all sections—unite to re
buke and crush out the spirit of e vil which de
stroys our peace? I trust they will I believe
they will. My hope is in the National Democrat
ic partv-my hope is in the State Rights principles
of the Cincinnati plattorin—niv confidence repos
es in the election of Buchanan and Breckenridge.
If these expectations fail, gloomy indeed will be
the future. The combi lied isms of the land, who
are the combined enemies of the constitution and
Union, will soon bring the “reign of terror.”
May a kind Providence shield us from such a fate.

The Prospect brightens every day in Ohio.—A cor
respondent of tlie Statesman, at Perryton, Ohio,
writes on the 12th instant:
“The democracy are all in the line, eager for the
contest; even, those who departed from the faith,
went worshipping strange gods in the camp of
knew-nothingism, have, prodigal-like- returned
‘to thc house of their fathers,’ ‘renewed their cove
nant, and are ready to do their first work over;
whereas the black‘republicans seem rather hike
warm, and, like the editor of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, speak of the Philadelphia platform as‘a
thin" over which the shallow may lau"h, tho ju
dicious grieve, and the unfriendly exult; consist-,
inn- of an unsafe collection of truisms, platitudes,
aiid fallacies.’ No sooner did this article appear
in the Commercial (speaking so dispanugiy of the
