patriotic citizens will approve the

j^iiU I sec no safer or more effectual mode
Aunplisbing it* . ,
,( ,, frmn mere love of agitation, thus far in-

this will not be the case whilst their

nnd for that reason, it is apparently
^object of a political party in the country
mretain it. .
Tbe most inattentive observer of the signs
/the times, ns these are indicated by a por-
of the public press in the free States, and

Xhe institution of slavery so inseparably
jcected with the very existence and honor
i'll*southern States—without which the most
tiitin wonldsoon bo as desolate as the British

3 ulhe other States a pecuuiary loss, little

calamity in extent and consequences in-
’■ulahle—is daily, hourly, made the topic of
iifrsftxnal. bitter, insulting reproach and in-
‘ ’ : j ve . Every opprobrious epithet oar lan-
" -e contains and the industrious rpcarch of
,demagogue can discover is, in this regard,
<4 ted upon southern citizens, who in every-
that imparte dignity tobumanity—talents,
^.laments, patriotism, morality, religion—
gtuuire than their equals.
I: i, gratifying to know that this crusade of
v and crime is not only not approved hut
,. t r U ]y condemned, by the thousands and tens
ifitoiisands of good and patriotic men of the
States. True to }Jie lessons of a noble
L .,itry—alive to the interests of their own
ttetiou. and cherishing an undying love for
pi nion, and every State composing it—they
.ml these grojs, revolting, insane assnults
rah nothing but loathing and digust.
With the demagogue, however, what are the
■sands, however clear, of duty ? Did these
tu; arrest bis selfish career ? It was hut the
day that a Seuator from a northern State
-itdntc moro interested, perhaps, if that be

a-in a speech.carefully elaborated, and iu

Labor by virtually threatening the South
mb early practical subjugation—hurling the
;:;;«cst anathemas at their system of labor.
Mounting it as at war with the Declaration
.if dependence, repugnant to the instincts of
jumnity, and an outrage upon the laws of

•_ to servile insurrection. Could the Slaves

i>ad would soon swim iu blood, and many a
err would find its way to the throne of Heaven,
bvokttig retributive justice upon the author of
iu igony. Even a co-ordinate branch of the
pvenunent, because only of its having diftcr-
ti with him on a question of constitutional law
judicially before it, in a due course of legal
proceeding, was, and evidently from mere par-
V tads, subjected to as caluminous^an attack
u ever dishonored human lips.^These are
unag terms to apply to a S^Hbroi the
i aiteifStates; but the re .. ‘ 3^ “ *
♦>*1151 is known n% the Dreu C* aQ d
which furnished the pretext .for the nbel, and
tt laowlcdge which this gives me, justifies
w ta iheir use. There is not, I know, a word
truth in his direct charges, nor tho slightest
sedation for the uncharitable and unmanly
- .tuitions in which be indulged. The case
uv.f w#s originally commenced by Scott, un-
wr the advice of a counsel, no advocate of sla-
wjr, in one of the State courts of Missouri,
lids was done in perfect .good faith, and with
t'view to political effect there or elsewhere,
•si the defence was carried on in the same
Ki.it. The judgment of that court was in fa-
•tr of Scott; but on the writ of error, sued
t! * by the master, it was reversed, and the
ett-was remanded for final judgment. Scott’s
c '«H'l then abandoned that case, and iusti-
toti-d another, for tflftlikc purpose, in the cir-
'••t court of the United States for that district.
% that court his legality to auo if free was
"attained, but on the merits the judgment
^•gainst him, when he and his counsel—not
natter hot the master's counsel—brought
controversy to the Supreme Court of tho
'•ailed Stafts?
This was nil done before the Kansas and
h’fbrsslta act w4s passed or anticipated. On
J* first hearing in that court the argument for
«Ntw«s made by Mr. Blair, and for the mas-
j fr by Mr. Geyer (one of the then Senators
‘•«i Missouri)’ and myself. A re-argument
“S* ordered; and that was conducted by Mr.
“fir and Mr.'S. W. Curtiss (the brother of
Justice Curtiss) for Scott and with signal
•hit; and the master was again represented
V Mr. Geyer. and myself. The Senator’s ia-
’•-Uition that tho case was ntndc by the mas-
" r for the purpose of obtaining a decision bj
hupieme Court, is so far from being true,
' lt5! the suspicion, at the time, was that the
Political friends of the Senator—the abolition-
had had it instituted and brought hero
that exclusive end. But this was cqual-
'. r unfounded, as was staled by Mr. Blair in
"i'o court, and a few days afterwards m ti
a ®mtication to the National Intelligencer,
j “Allegation, also, that the counsel of the
slaveholder were paid by bun, is in
tP'hr with the recklessness of this port ion
2“* entire speech. It is absolutely untrue.
J .**e(|ne»tions that the case involved were men-
j*fito me by a southern gentleman; and
eniertnining the opinion afterwards an-
J^icetl by the Supreme Court, and seeing, an
/“otight, how deeply the country was inter-
'■'M in their decision, I volunteered to argue
e c;ise f or t jj 0 d e f en dant; and never received,
( ""old have received, the ordinary compen-
jj ‘'ti. jjy colleague was, I am certain, ac-
by the same motives, and was reward-
. ° a 'y by n sense of duty performed. The
that the majority of the judges, in rul-
^ 'be Missouri restriction unconstitutional,
e *tra-judicially, I leave every lawyer to
* ■-(le »fter he shall* have read the opinion of
j£ T .eneraUe Chief Justice. If that does not
t bim of the utter groundlessness of ibe
;-i5plsint, all reason or authority would be
11 u P0ti him, lu this respect, however, there
is one view which the public cannot fail, I think,
readily tocomprebcnd. What may have pass
ed at the consultations of the court no one
perhaps but the judges know. But this would
seem to be obvious, thnt if it was the duty of
the dissenting judges, Messrs McLean and
Curtiss, to pass upon a question of such im
portance, and to argne it with unwonted zeal
and rare ability, and with a practical appeal
to northern prepossession and sympathy cal
culated to impress upon tho public mind of
that section a conviction-of the right of Con
gress to prohibit slave labor in all Territories
then or thereafter to belong to the Union—a
power so pregnant with danger to our contin
uance as one people—it was equally proper
that the judges who entertained a different
opinion should have expressed it, and maintain
ed it with all the ability and research within
their power.
Mr. Justice McLean's opinion occupies thir
ty-five pages of the report in 18th Howard,
and Mr. Justice Curtiss’ one hundred and
three. The greater part of each is devoted to
this very question, and as to the right to con
sider and decide it. The last named judge
concludes his with an apology for its length by
saying the “questions aro numerous, and the
grave importance of some of them required me
to exhibit the. grounds of my opinion. I have
treated no question which, in the view I have
taken, it was not absolutely necessary for me
to pass upon to ascertain whether the judg
ment of the circuit court should stand or be re
versed. I have avoided no question in which
the Validity of that judgment depends. To
have done either more or less would have been
inconsistent with my sense of duty.”
Were these two opinions to be spread, as
they were, with unexampled haste, broadcast
over the land, and the rest of the court, who
differed so widely and so decidedly, to remain
silent? Were they, by that very silence, to
leave the public to infer, as they might then
have fairly done, that they did not, or were
unable to maintain different doctrines ? As
suming, therefore—what is, I think, palpably
unsound—that the decision of the court on this
question was in any sense extra-judicial, I hold
it to be perfectly clear that the course adopt
ed by the dissenting judges rendered it the
duty of the court to correct, to the whole ex
tent of their, power, what they believed to be
the serious constitutional errors which that
course, if left unobstructed, was likely to fast
en upon the public judgment. But, not con
tent with assailing the motives of tho South
by totally misrepresenting them, and the al
leged extra-judicial character of the court’s de
cision, the independence and integrity of the
judges was shamelessly impeached. No gen
tleman can be guilty of the injustice even oj
supposing that it can he necessary to vindicate
them against such a charge, comiDg from such
a quarter, and dictated by unhallowed party
motives, so obviously apparent. If lives hon
estly spent in the services of their country iu
almost every department in which she could
he served, without stain or blemish, aud with
constantly increasing honor; if a judicial ca
reer, by its admitted ability, learning and in
dependence, challenging the respect and ad
miration of the good and the wise—with every
incentive to continue to the last the pure ad
ministrators of the jurisdiction with which the
constitution clothes them, and especially the
watchful guardians of all the rights, personal
and political, secured by that sacred instru
ment, which may, by proper judicial proceed
ing, be submitted to them—with all these per
suasions to duty, the charge that they have
been at last false to it, and forgetful of honest
fame, have pandered to party, or executive
influence, is a slander so gross and revolting,
tuat, instoad of finding a lodgment in, it can-
uotibut ultimately, if not at once, disgust the
public mind.
The feeling, however, which in any one could
prompt such a suggestion but shows the dan
gerous character ot the pending agitation, aud
calls upon all true men to do what they may
Lc able to put it down, and to restore peace
and quiet to the nation and to its councils the
love of justice, truth and patriotism which so
gloriously illustrated its early history.
With high regard, your obedient servant,

Life at Salt Lake.
Under this head, the California State Jour
nal publishes an interesting article containing
information furnished by a gentleman who has
just returned from Salt Lake. We give an
Our informant states that the famous Echo
Canon is well fortified, but the want of artil
lery among the Mormons render the fortifica
tions much less formidable. There are deep
and wide canals cut across tho panon in a great
many places, and at some of these points there
are gulches running a short distant into the
mountain from the ei:d of the canal, Heavy
stone forts are built in the gulches which com
mand the passage of the canals, but in these
aro nothing but small arms. The Mormons
depend much upon rolling heavy rocks upon
the troops from the mountain upon each side
of the cauon, the sides of which sue some three
hundred feet iq height, and are of solid rock.
The canon itself, averages from one hundred
to two hundred feet in width. As the rock
rolling is a piece of sport not confined to one
party, tho American commanders may choose
to play at the same game. We understand
that tne terrors of the pass referred to, arc
milch exaggerated, and that the troops now at
Utah could and would get through wpre it not
for tho snow. Our informant gives us some
amusing inst ances of the working of the “pe
culiar system.” He was present at a trial in
cue of the Wards of Salt Lake City, each of
which has a Bishop of the Church. A com
plaint was made before the Bishop’s Court,
and the woman who appeard as plaintiff was
tho spiritual wife. No. 3 of a roan who had five
wives, and she was about thirty years of age.
Sho complained that the head of her family
spent all of his spare time with wife No. 5.
and had not visited her room for three weeks.
The husband made no defence and the Bishop,
hv request of the jury, gave her a divorce in
about twenty minutes. Tba same woman \Vas
ra’irried to another brother of the Church as
liiii No. 2, in less than one week, she herself
doing the courting. At the house where our
hero boarded, there was a young girl of tcven-
le;n, and as he expressed it, she was “a real
beauty.” A young felloe? of twenty-three
was courting her, and his rival was one of the
“apostle 3 *” it man of fifty. The old fellow re
presented to her that if sho became his wife
I bis twelfth) she would be sure of salvation,
:u she would have a “head” that had been in
tie church twenty years, and had been fully
tried, nnd that if she married the young man,
there was no certainty that he would not apos
tatize and go to California, and she would lose
her crown of glory in heaven. The arguments
of tho old fogy were backed by her parents,
md the young lover lost his bride, who was
duly “ sealed ” to the apostle. It is said that
this is a common occurrence.
Mr. Seward.
The Washington Correspondent of the New
Orleans Crescent furnishes the following first-
rate notice of Senator Seward;
*• I have a passion for Seward. He comes
up to my idea of Rodih in the Wandering Jew
—the most delectable devil that ever was
drawn by human pen—so cool, so clear-headed,
' go indomitable, so relentless in the pursuit of
■ his fiendish purposes. Seward traverses the
1 seemingly tortuous, but really straight line, of
his ambition with the unerring certainty of
footsteps that characterize a rope-dancer, nev
er missing a step, and keeping bis eagle eye
steadily fixed on the goal beiorchim. The
balance pole by which he preserves his equi
poise, is that cool, big head that bulbs out a-
bovc his narrow shoulders. If lie becomes our
„„xt President, and disunion does not immedi
ately follow his election, I will wager that lie
will so beautifully honeyfuggle both South and
North, that the people will pronounce him one
of the best Presidents we have ever had. But
v be "in to think there is littie danger of his
obtaining the nomination. He is too great a
man, that is, if he is a man and not a deni.
\ i that astonishes at inst, soon makes
people impat ient if he does not continue m the
t atne enlivening key.
The TW.es.
1 he t;ues of the eetau have been a subject
of wonder and puzzle to those who have not
investigated their cause. It is related of the
soldiers of Alexander the Great, who were na
tives of the M tditerranean shores, that when
they reach* i the confine* of the Indian Ocean,
and saw its waters rolling up to a great height
and then flowing back, twice every day, that
they became alarmed, and attributed the phe
nomena to a special interposition of the deities
of the country which they had invaded. Va
rious remarkable theories have been advanced
regarding the causes of the tides. Kelper,
the celebrated German astronomer, believed
that the earth was a real living animal, that the
tides were due to its respirations, and that men
and brutes were like insects feeding on its back.
The tides have also been attributed to the wa
ters of the ocean running in and out through
some great hole at each pole, communicating
by a subterranean passage through the earth;
and the Maelstrom—now a myth—that whirl
pool on the coast of Norway, has been sug
gested as an opening into this supposed under
ground caual. We would not be very much sur
prised if some speculative being would yet dis
cover that the cold water found by Lieutenant
Berryman, as described in our last number,
was melted ice that had come from the Arctic
regions through this inner passage, and had
oozed out near Bermuda. 'If the tides were
due to the breathings of a great monster, of
course we can suppose that it just respired
twice every twenty-four hours, but this never
could account for the variations of the tides.
The hole through the earth also cannot account
for these variations, as this theory must involve
the necessity of a regular ocean current run
ning round and round, not ebbing and flowing.
Many persons—according to letters some
times received by us—still seem to be much
perplexed with the phenomena of the tides.
They cannot understand why they are higher
at one time than another, nor why they rise to
the height of sixty feet in tho Bay of Fnndy,
forty feet in the ports of Bristol, England, and
St. Malo, France, and only rise to a few
feet in height iu New York and other places,
while they are scarcely perceptible in the
Baltic and other seas. Descartes was the
first philosopher who advanced the theory that
the tides were due to the influence of the
moon, but Newton was the first who worked
out the problem, and discovered the true cause.
Descartes believed that the moon acted on the
waters of the ocean by pressure. Newton de
monstrated that it acted upon the ocean by
attraction; that instead of pressing the waters,
it rolled them up directly under it, and also at
its antipodes at the same time, thus producing
the two tides every day. The tides are caused
by the attraction of both the moon and the sun.
If this earth had no moon the attraction of the
sun would produce two tids everyday, butthe
ebb and flow would take place at the same hours
regularly, not varying as they do now; these
tides would be also much smaller than those of
the moon. Although the mass of the sun is far
greater than that of the moon, and although
attraction is in proportion to the mass, yet it is
also inversely as the square of the distance. As
the suu, therefore, is tour hundred times far
ther distant than the moon, the attraction of the
waters of the sea towards the sun is found to
be about three times less than that of the moon;
the tides produced by the sun would therefore
be threo times less than tnose of the moon-
Thore are really two ocean tides, the luuar and
solar, but the latter, is absorbed by the former,
which is wholly observable in respect to time,
the sGlar only as it influences the height of the
tidal wave. That caused by the moon is three
times greater than that of the sun, and if fol
lows the moon’s motion around the earth, ris
ing and falling every twelve hours, and each
succeeding tide by three-quarters of an hour
later than the preceding one, exactly in accord
ance with the positions of the moon, or as it
is commonly called, "'its rising and settiug.
Sometimes thoy are very low and at other
times very high tides—that is, their height is
not uniform. This is caused by the positions of
the sun nnd moon relative; to the earth. Thus,
as at tho time of the new moon, the sun and
tho moon being in the same parts of the heav
ens—the tides produced in the ocean are then
the highest, because they are equal to the sum
of the two tides—lunar and solar. This should
also take place at the time of the full moon,
when our satelite is opposite the suu, the at
tractive force being equal and opposite, iu pro
ducing the tidal wave, The tides are greater
at new fql( moan than at the first and last quar
ters, as during the latter periods the attraction
of the sun, not acting in unison with that of the
moon, tends to lower the tides.
Reasoning from the data, it will naturally be
inferred that when the sun and moon are equal
ly distant from the two poles of the globe,
such as at the times of the equinoxes in March
and September, tli6 tides would be greatest.
This is also found to be the case, thus demon
strating beyond all doubt that the flux and re
flux of the sea arc due to the attraction of the
sun and moou upon the waters of the ocean.
The difference iu the height of the tides at va
rious places is due to the peculiar formation of
sea coasts. They are very high iu the Bay of
Fundy, because an immense quantity of water
is piled into a wide mouthed narrow space, in
the same manner that a certain quantity of
water will rise higher in a narrow than in a
wide channel.
A New way of Courting.
About three months since a young Parisian,
traveling iu Germany, took the road from Augs
burg to Berlin. In the car he selected were
four ether pei sons,two mammas and two dough*
ters both very lovely. The two mothers were
face to face in one corner, the young man took
the opposite, and found himself face to face
with the young ladies. The young man put
on a distraught and absent air. The conduc
tor came to demand the tickets. The young
man paid no attention at all. when the request
was many time repeated—Roused from his
reverie in presence of the lpdies.the young man
had recourse to a ruse, to avoid exciting ridi
cule. “YYbat arc you saying ?” 6aid he. “Why
do you not speak French?” The conductor
then explained by signs, the ticket was chang
ed aud the young man returned to his reverie.
And not to enjoy it long, for this time the
young ladies aroused him-. Thoy began in full
voice.
1‘1'his young man is a very handsome one,”
said one.
“Hist, Bertha,” said the other,with a sort of
affright.
“Why, he doesn’t know a word of German;
Wo can talk freely. How do you find him
•'Only ordinary.”
“You are difficult. He has a charming fig
ure and distingue air.”
“He is too pale, and, besides, you know I do
not love dark.”
“And you know I perfer dark to blond.
Wo have nothing but blonde in Germany. It
is monotonous and common place.”
“You forget that you are blond.”
“Oh, for women it is different. He has pret
ty moustaches.”
“Bertha, if your mother should hear you 7
“She is busy with her talk, besides it is no
hurt to speak of moustaches.”
“I perfer the blond moustaches of Frede-
rick.” , . , . ■,
“I understand that; Frederick is espoused
to you ; but -I, who am without a lover, am
free to exercise my opinions, and I atn free to
say that this young man lias beautiiful eyes."
••They have no expression.”
“You do not know, I am sure he has much
spirit, aud it is a pity he does not speak Ger
man ; he would chat with us.”
••Would you marry a Frenchman !'
“Why not, if he looks like this one, and was
spirited, well born and amiable? l!ut I can
hardly keep from laughing. See, he doesn t
mistrust what wc are saying.”
Tho young traveler was endowed with agreat
power of self-control, andlic had preserved Ins
absent and inattentive air all the time, am
wihlo.thc dialogue continued, he thought how
curiously his attempt to avert a laugh by pre
tending not to know German had ^resulted,
lie looked carefully at Bertha,_ and his rcsolu-
tion was taaon. At a new station, the conduc
tor came again for the tickets. Our young man,
with extra elaboration, and in excellent Ger
man, said :— .. , .
“Ab, you want my ticket- \ cry well; let
me see; I believe it is in inv port monnaie.
Oh, yes, here it is."
The effect of the coup-de-theatre was start
ling. Bertha nearly fainted away, but soon
recovered under the polite apologies of the
young Frenchman. They were pleased with
each other, and in a few weeks Bertha ratified
her good opinion of the young man and her
willingness to marry a Frenchman. They live
at Hamburg.
Maelstrom off tlie Const of Florida*
The brig Alma, Capt. Brown, arrived at
New York Saturday from Nassau, N. P.. re
ports that on the 10th inst., when ahoat four
miles from the Hole in the Wall, the wind
blowing a three-knot breeze at the time, she
got into a whirl-pool which turned the vessel
round in thirty-five seconds, and kept turning
her sometimes half way and back, and some
times all the way round for two hours and a
quarter. The breeze then became stronger,
and she.succeeded in getting out of the whirl
pool witnout receiving any damage.
Concerning Kisses.
“The kiss,” says an ancient woman hater,
“is the Aurora of love, hut the sunset of chas
tity.”
After the iiist kiss there follows a second,
then a third, and so upward on the many rug
ged ladder of love to the ultima thule. One
kiss is very little, and yet very much. It is the
wordless interpreter of t wo hearts, which by this
one breath tells each other more than by myri
ads of words* The kiss is the high priest who
initiates the heart into the Elusinian mysteries
of love.
The ancients counted three kinds of kis
ses :—
Basia, that between friends and relatives.
Oscula, the kiss of veneration.
Zsuaria, the kiss proper—that betweeu lov
ers.
The monks of middle ages—great theorists
—divided the kiss into fifteen distinct and sep
arate orders:—
1. The decorous or modest kiss.
2. The diplomatic, or kiss of policy.
y. The spying kiss, to ascertain if a woman
had druDken wine.
4. The slave kiss.
5. The kiss infamous—a church penance.
6. The slipper kiss, practised toward ty
rants.
7. The judicial kiss.
8. The feudal kiss.
9. The religious kiss (kissing the cross.)
10. The academical kiss (on joining a sol
emn brotherhood.)
11. Thehandkiss.
12. The Judas kiss.
13. The medical kiss—for the purpose of heal
ing some sickness.
14. The kiss of etiquette.
15. The kiss ol love—the only real kiss.
But this was also to be variously considered,
viz:—given by ardent enthusiasm, as by lov
ers ; by matrimonial affection; or, lastly, be
tween two men—an awful kiss, tasting like
and wiches without butter or meat.

Among the Romans those who were bald,
and would not wear a wig, had recourse to a
method quite extraordinary. They caused hair
to be painted on their bare crown, with per
fumes and essence prepared tor the purpose.
On one occasion a venerable Roman was taun
ted by another with the remark that he had no
need of a barber for his bead, as he could trim
his hair best with a spougf.

Testifying to the wonderful curative power; of Bo:r-
have’s Holland Bitters.
Mr. Jacob White, Third street, below Market says:
“For a year past I have been afflicted very serious
ly with dyspepsia, so much so, that my stomach re
fused to retain anything; I have tried almost every
remedy, and the regimen of several piiysiciuns, but
without alleviation, until I began the use of Beer-
have's Holland Bitters, and have now found relief
almost amounting to a cure. I found it efficacious
in removing the extreme debility occasioned by this
disease, and generally as a tonic it lias few equals
and no superior."

Weed’s Patent Sewing Machine.
We have been often asked which is the best Sew
ing Machino in use, and to satisfy ourselves, have
spent some time in examining them all, and now
give our opinion to our readers for their benefit.
We purchased one of the above named Machines,
and have tried it on every kind of work required in
a family, and it gives the best satisfaction; doing its
work vory rapidly, neatly and stronger than the usu'
al hand work. It is muen harder to rip work done
on this Machine than that done in the ordinary way.
It is neat and tasty, being very nicely finished, and
to all appearance, simple, beyond the possibility of
getting out of repair, -by ordinary use. It is very
strong and durable, and we are well assured one of
them will not wear out in years of constant use.—It
has already saved tailor’s and dressmaker's bills
enough in our family to pay its cost, and we think it
a very profitable investment, to say nothing of its
convenience and the hours of needle work it saves a
mother. We must emphatically pronounce this
tho beat Sewing Machine in ^use, and the greatest
labor-saving invention of the day.
Messrs. WHITNEY A LYON, who are tho pro
prietors of those Machines, have a sales room at 345
Broadway, New York.—Chicago Herald.

From the New York News.
Wc esteem it a pleasure resting upon our absolute
knowledge of its merits, to recommend Prof. Wood’s
hair Restorative as the best article of the kind with
which we are acquainted, and which has done, nnder
our own observation, all that it claims—and it claims
everything implied in its name.
This article, in short, will restore gray hair to its
original color, and add to its growth and beanty
wherever any blight or disease has checked that
growth or marred that beanty. This has been prov
ed in our family within a few weeks, and in numer
ous other cases related to us, without the knowledge
of the proprietor. We have only to add that this
most valuable article is for sale by the proprietor, at
No. 312 Broadway.
Cactio.v.—Beware of worthless imitations as sev
eral are already in the Market, called by different
names. Use none unless the words (Professor Wood’s
Hair Restorative. Depot, St. Louis Mo , and New
York,) aro blown in the bottle, cold by all Drug
gists and Patent .Medicine Dealers. Also by all
Fancy and Toilet good.- dealers in the United States

MASTIC ROOFING.
Geo. Telegraph Office,
March 22d, 1858.
Gentlemen —Tho roof yon have lately placed up
on the new Telegraph Building is perfectly tight—
I believe it air tight; and as it is also manifestly fire
proof in tho ordinary acceptation of tho term, as ap-
died to roofing, the only open question is Us 'la:a-
lility. Upon rliis point I see no reason to doubt that
it will fulfill all the ends of a water proof roofing
quite as long as tin put on in the ordinary way, a nl its
susceptibility of very cheap repair is an important
consideration in its favor. Time will be necessary
to establish all tho claims of the Mastic Roofing to
public consideration: but with the lights betore me,
I am certainly of the opinion that, its price taken in
to the account, it is the most desirable rooting I know
of for all the purposes you advertise.
Respectfully vour ob't. Serv't.
