Wheeling Times And Advertiser

Such strictures are amusing when we reflect that they are from an itinerant Lecturer, and a very dull one at that. Mr Buckingham came to this country, probably with some introductions, and the rumor that he was related to an M P but as we have known journeying men printers with recommendations that ought to treat them as a true foreign mission, and he appeared to be engrossed solely by the money he would receive as admittance fee to his lectures, which were as neat a humbug as any thing lately produced in this country, he could scarcely expect to be received very graciously in the good society of the United States. It is not the way things are done in this country. We do not, and justly, consider an M P as greater than M C and many of those of talent apparently quite equal to those of Mr Buckingham, are not regarded as fit personal associates for many of their constituents; yet any of them would be ashamed of turning itinerant lecturers at 25 cts admittance—children half price.
