The creation of beatrtiful artificial teeth within a short period, so perfect as to equal and even excel nature in regularity and tint, gives a new value and faeination to the dental art, and makes artificial sets desirable, not only for the purposes of speach and mastication, but for comely grace and beauty.

SOOITTER SOVEREIGNTY DENOUN- ^ CED. '£ **-—- Col. Thomas Hen ton in a reply to an official note informing him of his nomina- tion as Governor of the State of Missouri, says, in speaking of the Missouri Compro- mise Line: \Out of the repeal of the Compromise has sprung forth a new test of Democracy, which consists in exacting party allegiance , to the principles of the Kansas Nebraska AH the sun in the dawn of his glory appears, | '* * . And the cloud weeps and glows with the rain I bllL lh ° fir8t \>qu>ry \P° n the Virtue o f bow iii heaven. the new test is, to find out what those jirin- There are hours there are minutes which memo- ciples nre ? and the result is diametrically opposite, as it comes from one side or the other of the Potomac River. From the North the answer is, Squatter Sovereignty! as being the inherent right of the people of the Territory to decide the question, of slavery for themselves ami to have it or not, just a they phjnie. - In* ikf flussii ••sjwst definition is held to bay rank demagoguory, and that the people of the Territory, no more than Congress, hare not a particle of power on the subject; that the Constitution carries Slavery with it into every Territory, as soon as acquired,o*erriding and « ontrolt- ing all laws against it, and keeping it there Like the wind from the blossoms ol jessemine I j n defiance of the people, or of Congress, until the Terri tory becomes a State and ry brings Like blossoms of Eden, to twine round the heart; And as time rushes by on the might of his wings ThSy may darken awhile hut they neve depart 0, these hallowed remembrances cannot decay, But they come on the soul with u magical thrill, And in days that are darkest they kindly will stay, And the heart in its hut throb will best with them still. They come like the dawn in its loveliness now; The same look of beauty that shot to my soul; The snows of the mountain are bleach'd on her brow, And her eyes in the blue of the firmanent roll; The roses are dim by her cheek's living bloom, And her coral lips part like the opening Uow'rs She moves in the air like a cloud of perfume, bowers. it tnry me not. : BY UOBACK W. SMITH. Oh! bury me not in the cold church-yard, 'Midst groups of charnal stones; And mark not the spot with a slab or board Where in silence you lay my bones; But bury me deep in the forest shade. By the side of some gurgling stream; For there in seclusion 1 would be laid, To enjoy my tranquil dream. And over the grave the bright wild rose Embalms the air with uerfume; For there I'll enjoy a sweet repose, Though mine be a nameless tomb. Yes bury me there, in a lonely grot. Where no foot shall disturb my dust: And the wild birds' lays shall cheer the spot.

Of all of the different characters which to a certain extent made up my being—the man of feeling, the poet, the orator, the man of action—the man of letters alone remains. Nor is the man of letters happy; my years do not weigh upon me yet, but they must l>c taken into account, and heav- ier far than iny years I foci tho weight of my heart. Tlic farmer like the phantoms of Macbeth, stretch their hands over my shoulders nnd.pojjit, not to crowns, but to a grave. Would to God I were stretched in it already! u Nothing smiles upon me- in the past, nor in the future; 1 am growing old without posterity in my empty home, sur rounded by the graves of those I have lov- ed. I cannot cross my threshhold without tripping against one of these stumbling blocks of our loves or our hopes. There from my still living heart nnd buried be- fore my eyes, while that heart beats in my bosom like t;.e forgotten time peswe in a forsaken home, which continues to strike in solitude's hours that no one reckons. \ What life I have left Is concentrated in a few loving hearts ami a small patrimonial estate.

Whereas, It must now be manifest to ail that the questit n of slavery extension orre- strictio.i, involving the predominance of free or slave labor in most of tho vast territory now lielonging to our Union, and in all that may hereafter be acquired, is to form the controlling issu; in tho Presidential election before us, and is to fmallv decide by the result of that election, therefore Resolved, That lire State of New York by her cordial support ot thc restrictive or- dmnncc of 1787, originally devised by ,icf- ferson and officially ap]>roved by Washing- ton; by b-r determined resistance in 1810 and 1820 to lire admission of Missouri as a Slave State; by her hearty support in IS47 and 1848 of the Wihhot Proviso; 1A her Republican principles, traditions and in- st»ncfs;by rrer.a*iraTrit^foT\'Blfl!o>i\:«l prOk.pi r- ity, power awl renown; by her hatred to oppress^m and her love for her sotu who have gone and will go to subdue and make fniitful the mighty West, stands immovably committed to the policy of slavery restric- tion. Rcsolord, That in the crimes and out- rages rdcently comniitled by the upholders of the slave power-in Kaaaas and Missouri, wc have renewed evidence that squatter sovereigtty is A delusion and fraud; that slavery is equally unscrupulous in acquiring and contesting, as in using eoavened pow- er; and that the only safeguard against its universal, diffusa! and dominion u to be found in its rigorous confinement within the limits of the Suites which constitution- ally cherish it. Resolved, That to thc noble band of pi- oneers who have gone forth from among us to plant the standard of freedom and equal laws in Kansas, we tender assurances of our fervent admiration for their ilevoted- ness and indignation for their wrongs an 1 sympathy for their most niuneriu' 1 suffer- ings; and we pledge ourselves to intermit no effort and relax no exertion until their rights shall have been vindicatc.l and tii • ir oppressors brought to iustice. Rexolred, That the and that these kindred violations of lawde- naand ft united and firm determination by ' freemen to uphold and defend editosa and i representatiiics, iu the disci large of their duties \peaceably if wo can, forcibly if we . must.\.' The convention wag addressed by sever- al members and on motion adjourned si:.e die. The War and the Treaty of Peace. The war began as every one knows, with Russia's attempt to exact and exercise a protectorate over the Christian subjects of the Porte, and to ihterfcrc with the governr- raent of tho Danubian Principalities. On one side the Czar demanded that the Porto should grant, to him a right to intervene in Turkey ana tee to the proper and thorough execution of the firmans by which the Sul- tan promised liberty of conscience to tho Christians; an I on another, tho Czar re- quired that the arrangmcntseSectod by the treaties of 1829 and 1S4 - J for the govern- ment of Moldavia and Wailachia should be modified so a.s to detach them from Turkey and attach them to Kussia, liciii of thc&o demands were declined by tho Sultan; and ou the issues thus raised, tho war began. After two years righting, when do we stand' Kussia has withdrawn L'utli her claims. The Cluiatian subjects ofTurkey are not placed und :• the prot •ction of Rus- sia. Their nature: sovcrcigu still eierciscs plenary dominion over thorn, i'he great «ii t. our brethren, wlw, for tl^-ir free State cause, hstve l«een or shall ': •> • nt to death m Missonri, or by h-r and other Southern ruthaus now ilevastating Kansas are justly ••milled to stilmistancc and edu- cation at the bands, of thc compatriots iu the (if.' Slates; and we recommend that committees be organized and collecti >ns for this puqios\ be vromptlv male iu ev cry city and township of our State. Resolved. That we entreat nil who con- cur with us in desiring and demanding that freedom shall 1«' national, and slavery sec- tional, to forget or postpone their differen- ces on other points, and unite with us in se- curing freedom to Kansas and excluding slavery from all the territories of the Un- ion. Resnh'fl, That in the recent and flagrant otitrages at the Federal mctroj>ofis by one of which a Senator of the United States was hmtafly beaten and striken down in his seat while sitting unarmed and unsuspicious of danger, we see new evidence of the arrogance of the slave power, and it- determination to concede no rights t*> ii- ad'.\rr-riri'\s l.nt such a< their rightanns exhort • -i:;ll! i otivic- bov, who was but the ungrown man, look j events, until its advocates can agree in toll- a p, v .: llt .,j lilnc ^ ^,. r( . ,,, r ,. sl lnv ,„,„_ the defeats of his champion as his; but he ; could not help himself, or turn the victory j in his favor with a beaten combatant.

Daniel thought it a good opportunity to teat the value of his pur- chase. By a hattle or two he could judge ] with his own eyes, whether lie was destined to meet with a victory at home. So, down went the cock from his arms, and the fight began. But it was soon over; and tlio rep- utation of the new champion was triumph- antly maintained. Sevcial similar engage- ments took place on the journey, for, as in graver contests, ono victory feeds tho mar- tial spiiit, and each triumph is thc seed of future battles. Not far from the set of the sun, after numerous exploits of this nature, in which the result had been constantly on tho same side, the lioy approached the yard where tho only important engagement was to bo (ought, and the question of su. premaey was to lie fairly tried. His cool judgment dictated the propriety of giving his champion a nitrht's rest; but. ho could not sleep with so weighty a matter on his mind. He could not endure suspense.— S ), down went the warworn cock again,and the sparring at once began, \For a while,\ as risk, thc frceih un of every ono of the is secured, by will, in any contingency, and not only freedom, but a provision for a homestead.''

He saw thc cock, against which he had the grudge, and which had again and again driven his own fowls from his own yard, led about by the comb, in a manner as degrading as the old Romans led their conquered foes, while celebrating their triumphs of arms. Wellington after tho battle of Waterloo, was not belter satisfied with the results of tho day, than he was with the results of kin day.\ Years after this event, the statesman Daniel Web ster, took to himself thc credit of having a good Utlunt for sleeping.
