burgeon Dentist,
Would resp- vtful’y inform his friends and patrons
that he continues to practice in Baldwin and Put
nam, and that he has not authorised any one to at
tend to iiis unfinished business, but will attend to
all his engagements in due time. I am now in-
s rting Ti - tb upon Gutta Percl a Plates, especially
for temporary sets, and when the gums are so ten
der and irritable that gold plates cannot be w orn.
Persons often object to having their teeth ex
tracted on account ot the time required for the ab
sorption of the gums. This may he avoided by
tlie ttse of Gutta Pereha Plates. The teeth may
be extracted and a handsome life like ret be put in
the same week, and at a small expense, and can
be worn with comfort. 1 have inserted a number
of sets that are now in use and doing well.
1 am now putting up a style of work superior to
that of Dr. Allen's Patent, so udmitt. d hy his
lit, having purchased the right to use Dr. Al
len's ;n 1853, and li sted it to my satisfaction. I
have discontinued its use, and now ttse single gum
teeth, which for beauty and strength cannot be
excelled.
Persons living at a distance who may need my
s- rviens can receive them bv addressing me at

b>- «a* • it: th ti. and no* till then, will it be per-
itii-sil ;e to us to discuss our differences of opinion
upon minor subjects.
I sav that the life of the Union is in danger,
becau - , for the first time in our history, a party
has be' n formed composed exclusively of citizens
of one section of the country, bound together by
the single bond of an alliance for offensive xvar-
fare against the other section. That the success
of 'icli a party would imperii the Union has beer, re-
e?nriy demonstrated by an address of Mr. Fillmore,
and xx ii, it is submitted, be apparent to all xviio
will bestow a moment’s consideration upon the
existing posture of political affairs.
The value of the slave property of the South i
not less than txvo thousand millions of dollars—a
sum equal to the value of all the other property in
tlie United States, as shown hy the last census
This property is not only recognised, but so far
guarantied by the constitution as to impose upon
the federal government the duty of restoring to
his oxvner the slave who may escape into another
State or Territory of the United States. For years
past this constitutional obligation has been not
only repudiated by some of the non-slaveholding
States, but political parties itax-e been organized
in all xvith the avowed object of liberating the
slave, and thus not only depriving the South of
this vast amount of property, but subjecting it to
all the horrors which xvould necessarily result from
such a consummation. In addition to all this,
xvhilstthe abolitionists on the one hand openly
avow their opposition to the constitution and their
desire to destroy a government which imposes ob
ligations repudiated by them, on th" other hand
many southern men goaded by the incessant at
tacks of their northern fellow-citizens upon their
feelings, their property, and their constitutional
rights, express the hMief that the interests of the
South xvould be more effectually protected by a
separation of the slave from the non-slaveholding
States, and therefore rather promote than inter
pose to prevent a result so calamitous. We have
iiitherto disregarded the danger which such a state
of feeling ami such a course of action would in
dicate as most imminent, because xve have assumed
tiiat such sentiments and action could only be at
tributed to a small minority of our northern breth

and interests have united iu nominating, xvith al
leged probabilities of success, a purely sectional
ticket lor the Presidency and Vice Presidency of
the United States* xx e can no longer shut our ex-cs
to the reality of the threatened danger; xve can
not but feel that the success of such a part3* xvould
be the death knell of the Union. The unpatri
otic purposes of this sectional partv* are but too
manifest. Many of its supporters avow their ob
ject and purpose to be disunion, and have even
gone so far in the madness of their fanaticism as
to desecrate the flag of our country by obliterating
from its constellation the fifteen stars which repre
sent the slav-'haiding States, and displaying as
thrir parly banner that flag with but sixteen of its
stars remaining, to represent the sixteen non-slave
holding States It is manifest that those xvho dis-
avoxv the object are not ignorant of the inexritable
result.
The Whigs of Maryland, xvltom I have the hon
or to address, need no proof to convince them
tl at calamitous consequences xvould flow from the
success of this sectional party. They each and
all hnieir that the election of Air. Fremont, and tlie
administration of the government by him upon
the principles of his party, xx-ould necessarily oc
casion a disolntion of the Federal Union, to which
they have been taught to look as the source of na
tional strength and of indix-idual prosperity and
happines-v
I have known the xvhigs of mv* State too long,
I estimate their patriotism too lii{ghly-, I have as
sociated with them too intimately, to snppose it
necessary for a moment to offer an argument to
them in behalf of their country. They appreciate
as fully as I could depict the horrors of disunion ;
they will see the loss of national strength, the in
ternal dissensions, the fatal check tc civilization
and freedom, the contempt of the worid, which
xvould bo the consequences of such a calamity.
The xvhigs of Maryland, who have foiloxved the
lead of such patriots as t lay and Webster, ‘ will
neve; keep step to any other music than that ofthe
Union.”
It therefore only remains to inquire xvhat conrsc
shall he taken to rebuke sectional fanaticism and
preserve our country from ine dangers of its suc
cess.
You are aware that this republican party, which
xve all atrree must be put Jown at all hazards, is
oppos'd by txvo oilier partx organizations; the
American, 1:ml ;d by Messrs. Fillmore and Donel-
son, and the democratic, led on by Messrs. Buch
anan and Breckinridge. You xvill recollect that
Air. Fillmore prior to his recent visit to Europe,
abandoned the whig party and became a member
of tie: former of these organizations, xvhiclt boast
ed that it bad risen upon the doxvntall of the xvliig
party, and which procl.v’iued that the corruptions
of the xvliig and democratic parties constituted the
necessity of its existence. You know that he and
Andrew Jackson Dottelson have been nominated
by this partv (not bv the Whig partx* for the Pres
idency and Vice Presidency, and you xvill admit
that the principle* of prescription because of re
ligious opiiii' us, and other reputed tenets of this
nexv partv.arc in direct antagonism xvith the prin
ciples nt that good old xvbig party to which u-e are
still attached, and xvliich has been abandoned b3*
Mr. Fillmore. Tt - not mv object in referring to
these facts to deny to the American party, since
the secession of its abolition adherents, a fair
claim to nationality ; nor to deny the patriotism
and virtue of Mr. Fillmore, nor his eminent qual
ification for the office of Chief Alagistrate. But I
deduce from them the necessary conclusion that,
as xvhigs, we oxve no party allegiance to Messrs. ]
Fillmore and Donelson, members and nominees of
the American part3*. I deduce the conclusion
that, as xvhigs, we are not onjy at libert3-, but that
as patriots xve are bound, by ever3" obligation to
our country and posterity, to tbroxv aside, on the
one hand, the feelings of hostility which Air. Fill
more's desertion of our partx- xvould be calculated
to engender, and, 011 the other hand, to forget for
the time our former battles xvith the democratic
party, and to ask ourselves but one question tcltieh
of the tiro national organizations offers the best
guarantee of success Li crushing out of existence
this nexv and monstrous sectional part3*, xvliich
threatens the life of 3-our countrx- ? I do not
propose to examine the relative claims of the two
national parties or their nominees to otir support.
It is not, in m3- judgment, permissible iu the pres
ent crisis to interpose our individual differences of
opinion upon minor questions. It is sufficient for
us to knoxv that the election of cither national
nominee xvould secure the Union ; and the 01113*
question permitted In* patriotism is. xvhether our
support of the one or the other would more cer-
tainh- prove successful ?
Biit before I proceed to this inquiry, having
shown that nopotitical allegiance to Alessrs. Fill
more and Donelson xvill interpose to prevent the
fair exercise of our judgment on that side, I pro
pose briefl3* to inquire xvhether there is any thing
to prevent our support of the democratic nominees,
if after investigation xve shall believe that our vote
in their favor xvould mere certain^- secure the
safety of our countrx-. It cannot have escaped
your observation that the political principles up
on which the whig and democratic parties have
battled for thirty years, xvith varied success, have
been for the most part settled by the fiat of the
people. s>.;u thatsnch as have not been so definite
ly dispost d ot have been ekher abandoned by the
one or adopted b3* the other of thoso parties; so
that noxv the representatives of the people in the
halls of State and federal legislation are found in
discriminately advocating aud opposing the same
principles and measures. Not onlx* is there no
principle of political antagonism xvliich should
prevent xvhigs and democrats acting together for
the benefit of their common country but it is confi
dently submitted that upon the 011I3- vital ques
tion—that which noxv agitates and endangers the
country—the txvo parties fully accord. The whig
and democratic platforms upon the slavery ques
tion in eighteen hundred and fifty-two were iden
tical; and, there being no whig nominees before
the people, it might be suggested that consistency
xvould rather require than oppose the support of
the democratic nominee* by xvhigs. The controll
ing inquiry to the patriot noxv recurs, which of the
tieo national organizations can by his vote be mad<
most certainly successful I
Every Alaryland whig will be bound by every
tie of duty to vote as liis judgment shall decide
this question.
It may not be immaterial to observe that neith
er of the national nominees will obtain through
out this broad land any votes which will not be
cast by national conservative citizens, and it is
to be regretted that in this crisis that vote should be
divided between tiro national candidates, whilst
the entire anti-national vote will be concentrated
upon the sectional nominee. To judge of the rel
ative strength of the two national organizations
it is unnecessnrv to trace minutely the origin of
the American party. It is sufficient to bring to
vottr recollection tiiat it wa? originally composed,
North and South, of the dissatisfied members xf
the two old parties, and that in the North its orig
inal members were chiefly those who opposed the
conservative principle upon the slavery question
avowed in the platforms of the two old parties.
It must not escape 3*our recollection that upon the
nomination of Alessrs. Fillmore and Donelson u
large majority of the northern delegates seceded
from the convention, declared their intention not
to support those nominees, and subsequently uni
ted in the nomination of Mr. Fremont. This sej>-
aration ot the sectional from the national portion
ot the American party has occurred in every
northern State in tiie confederacy. I deduce from
these facts the nationality of the supporter; of
Alessrs. Fillmore and Donelson. and I submit the
inquiry tor the houest decision of those to xi hom
this paper is addressed, tchat non-slaveholding State
can this nati mat branch of the American partv,
thus shorn of the larger portion of its original
strength, promise its nominees? Let the whi>-s of
Maryland ponder upon the view of this subject I
have endeavored to present to their consideration,
and no one of them xvill say that a single nou-
slaveholdingState is certain for Fillmore and Don-
elson. Time, / think, xvill develops the fact that
Alessrs. Fillmore and Dot elson will be left with
out an electoral ticket in most of the free States,
and it is at any rate the deliberate conviction of
my judgment that they will not carry a single
non-slaveholding State in the Union. If I am
right or even approximate the truth in the view I
have taken, it xvill necessarily follow that any con
servative vote for the American nominees North
will be equivalent to a vote for Mr. Fremont, as it
xvill be a vote taken from Air. Buchanan, his only
real competitor.
It is clear, then, that to the South alone can the
friends of Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson look for
tlie probabl ■ chance of an electoral vote ; and it
is to the States of Maryland, Tennessee, Ken
tucky and Missouri that the}* profess to look with
the greatest hope of success. It is manifest that,
if this hope were realized, it might, indeed, pre
vent the election of Messrs. Buchanan and Breck
inridge by the people, but it xvould only throw the
election of President into the present House of Rep
resentatives, composed as that House now is. Does
not the election of this same House, after a con
test ot txvo months, of a black-republican Speak
er, admonish us of the danger of such an exper
iment ? Who can doubt that our political fabric
xvould be shaken to its very foundations by this
election of President being thrown upon the pres
ent House of Representatives ! On the other
hand, is it not certain beyond the contingency of
a doubt, that the vote of the States indicated for
Mr. Buchanan, xvhen added to that of the other
southern States, xvould secure his election aud the
consequent safety ot the Union ’ It is obvions
that in this condition of the canvass the oni v se
rious contest is that between Fremont and Buch
anan ; that the only possible result that the most
sanguine of the friends of Fillmore and Donel
son can hope to attain is to carry the contest into
the House of Representatix-es. Who can con
ceive anything more fatal to the peace of the
country, more insane in polttical action, than such
a course of conduct leoding to such a result I
Suppose Air. Fillmore to reach the House of Rep
resentatives xvith the votes of four or five States,
(his utmost possible strength,) no man can serious
ly* contend that he would be elected President, and
assuredly few will be found bold enough to assert
that under such circumstances, ho ought to he.
The only effect, then, of giving the electoral vote
of any portion of the South to Mr. Fillmore
xvould be to transfer the contest betwuen Mr.
Buchanan aud Fremont from the hustings to the
House of Representatives : and the danger to our
country, noxv sufficiently menacing, xvould. in that
event, be appalling indeed. Who can contem
plate the occurrence of such a contingency xvith-
out feeling that he xvould be a traitor to his coun
try if he failed to exert every possible effort to
avert so awful a calamity T
I deem it, then, to be my duty, as xvell as that of
all xx ho believe with me that the election of Fre
mont would be the death-knell of the Union, to
unite in the support of Alessrs. Buchanan and
Breckenridge; and I shall sustain their election to
the best of my ability. Whilst I concede that
there are certain principles hitherto professed by’
the party which nominated them that cannot re
ceive our support, yet on the great issues of the
constitutional rights of the South the platform on
xvliich they stand meets my cordial approval, and
is in accordance xvith that of the party xx lu'ch I
now address, and to whose kind favor I oxve the
honor of ho ding the seat I noxv occupy, and
which I shall cease to hold after the 4th of March
next, by the fiat of that party to which Mr. Fill
more has attached himself,and which is now dom
inant in the legislature of my native State.
Let Maryland wliigs remember that the political
battle noxv being fought is one of the deepest in
terest to them; that tLe maintainance of the consti
tutional rights of the South is the issue tendered
to the American people of the democratic party,
and (as the xvhigs have no candidate) but that par-
13* alone: that upon this issue the republican par
ty have staked the Union; and in such a battle,
upon such an issue, they must be true to thoso
who are doing battle in our behalf. It would be
indeed sad it, in such a contest, the conservatix-e
strength of the country should not be united: it
xvould be as strange as sad if, in such a contest,
southern men should not be found battling shoul

constitutional rights.
In thus accomplishing xvhat I believe to be a

Iron Floating Battery for the Protection of New
York.
A larjre iron floating battery has been building
in Nexv York for some years past. This fact, hoxv-
ever, is not generally known. This iron vessel,
so mx*steriousl3* docked and hid from public viexv,
has alreadv been fourteen years under way. aud
of course considerable progress has been made in
her construction, and she could be finished, if ne-
cessanq in one year. She is four hundred te<.t
long, and thirty or forty feet in breadth. She is
built entirely of wrought iron plates, and each
pl.Te seven inches in thickness; these are attached
to her iron frame xvork. She xxill have eight
steam engines, and is to be propelled by txvo serexv
paddles, one on each side of her stern post. In
smooth water she xvill run, it is expected, from
twenty to twenty-five miles per honr ; and as she
is intended soleL- for harbor defences, she will
have smooth xvater to run in at all times. She
can, by her double propulsion poxver, by reversing
one of the screxvs, turn in her oxvn axis, or in a
space of four hnndred feet. She is to be mount
ed with txvent3* guns, of the heaviest calibre and
longest range.
The dock xx*here this xvonderful floating battery
is noxv lying is very mysteriously guarded. Owing
to the extreme length of the vessel, rocks have
been excavated, and one of the streets of Hobo
ken has been tunnelled to admit one end of the
monster. YA heu Air. Robert L. Stevens died, he
left models to enable Air. Walker, the Superinten
dent of her construction, to complete the vessel
in accordance xvith his original conception. She
has cost the government, thus tar, over half a mil
lion of dollars, all of xvhich has been expended,
and lately the xvork has been carried on out of the
private funds of Air. Stevens.
This vessel, or txvo or three like her, will guard
Nexv York from any force that may be brought
.against the place. She is perfectly impervious to
siiot or shell, from Lancaster, Paixham or Colum
bian. The iron plates of which she is constructed
are each thoroughly tested b3* cannon shot before
being fastened to the frame of the vessel. Her
machinery is all below the xvater line and ont of
harm's way. Her speed xvill make her equal to
twenty or thirtx- gun boats of the modern style.
AVitli txvo or three such vessels New York would
indeed be impregnable.
In Nexv York city, last week, the freesoil can
didate xvent on board the steamship Orizaba, to
say “edios” to some California bound friends. A
gentleman who was with Fremont said to Padre
\ ijil, the Nicaraguan minister, who was on board,
“Allow me to introduce your excellency to the
next President of the United States” (making a
motion towards Fremont, but not calling him by
name.) The padre stepn^J forxvard, raised his
hat, boxved, aud said, “I am very”happ3* to see
you, Air. Buchanan!”
