SIR: In my travels, I have often found it

as men do generally approve, with the ex- I
caption of the debasing habit of Intemper.
ance, that they have fallen into. I have
seen them hourly, resorting to the Bar of 1
the public house to repeat the Intoxicating
draft The consequence is, that their I
memory is confused, their judgment. is lost,
their evil passions are excited, their busi
ness• neglected, and, perhaps, an "amiable
wife and little children mourning over their
sad condition, having no earthly hope left
this side the grave. This is a picture that
is witnessed in every little Town and Va.
lage, and even on the aabbath, that day
sat apart, seen d to rest, how often do our
eyes behold the fiery cruntenance, and tot
tering limbs of the drunkard,as he reels from
one public house to another. A principal
source of these evils arises from licencing
too many public houses. In every little
town or village, two or three are licenced
—where not more than one is necessary for
the public accommodation. Any person
applying for a licen_te, must have a petition
signed by twelve respectable citizens, certi
fying that the applicant is a man of good
moral character, and that it is necessary for
the public accommodation for to grant him
aJicence.
I would ask—is it not to ho leered, that
many persons signing applications and re•
crmmendations to (Lain licences for their
neighbors to keep a public house, do so
without due deliberation, or as a matter of
course, without any reference to the public
good? The Judges of our Courts are the
Guardians of the public morals of the coin•
munity—on them a great responsibility
rests. Their attention is respectfully called
to the subject of granting tavern licences,
where they can in a great measure remedy
the evils complained of—and put a stop to
the debasing crime of intemperance, and all
its consequent evils.
A TRAVELLER.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
THE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED
On Saturday last, alter one of the most
laborious sessions ever held. Nor has their
time been misapplied or idled away. The
people ofthis state will long have reason to
remember with feelings of gratitude and
pride, the late legislative session, as the
commencement ofa new era in the prosperi
ty of Pennsylvania, whose march hereafter
will be onward. The passage of the Relief
Bill alone secures to this state advantages
that bid defiance to the jealousy and rivalry
of other states, or to the vindictive hostility
of the great consolidated power. The peo
ple, in after times, will look to that bill as
the GREAT RELIEF BILL, and the
present as the REFORM ADMINISTRA
TION.
It is admitted on all hands,.that there has
been more talent in this legislature than in
any one for years. The Anti-Masonic party
took possession of power with strong hands;
indeed it contained men who are the pride
of the state. Comparisons are invidious;
and to particularize might give unintentional
dissatisfaction; but when, we may ask,with
out the charge of partizan egotism, have the
opposition ever had such an array of talent,
as was this year in the House of Represen•
tatives. The most palmy days of their.lfar•
ty cannot boast of a parallel. But whist is
of the most importance, the fruits of their
wisdom will bless the commonwealth for
generations to come. Those that come al
ter them will have occasion to refer to the
late legislature with a satisfaction that can
scarcely be expected now even by those
from whose shoulders the burthens have
been lifted.— Penn'a. Telegraph.
Surplus Revenue--Rail-Roads---
Mr. Grundy's Bill.
Among the projects for disposing of parts
Of the surplus revenue, there is none which
promises more public utility than the propo
sition to contract for the freedom of the
rail roads for all Government purposes.—
In a practical point of view, the following
advantages are to be anticipated:
1. It will give conveyance to the mails,
without charge, on the routes where it is
heaviest and most expensive, enabling the
Government to reduce the rates of postage,
or largely to increase mail facilities to the
interior of the country.
2. The mails on these routes will be con•
veyed more frequently, more rapidly, and
more safely.
3. It will incalculably diminish the ex
penses attending the means of public defence
in peace arid in war.
By enabling• the Government rapidly to
concentrate the public force, it will render
it unnecessary to keep up so great a standing
army as might otherwise be required
With railroads at the service of the Gov
ernment along the whole sea-board, and on
the principal routes of interior communica
lion, the effective power of our present army
would be more than doubled.
By affordinu on those routes free trans
portation for officers, men, stores, and other
public property, it would lessen the expen
sea of the Government in time of peace,and
obviaie one of the heaviest items of charge
in time of war, thereby diminishing the
necessity of taxatton or loans, in a degree
proportioned to the perils and efforts of the
country•
It will incalculably increase the power of
the country to defend itself in cases of inva
sion or insurrection. City can rush to the
defence of city in a few hours, and States to
the defence of'States in a few days. Before
a hostile fleet could approach and land its
forces near one of our great maratime cities,
the whole power of several of her sisters
would be at hand to defend her. Before an
attack could be planned and executed, the
interior country would send down its thou
sands and tens of thousands by every ra I.
road. Forts are useful in certain positions,
but the surest defence of the country is an
invincible array of armed men. To avoid
invasion, we haVe but to have the means of
concentrating at every important point for
defence, more formidable force than our
enemy can bring to the assault.
As auxiliary to the public defence there.

From the Washington Globe
those constitutional questions, involved in a
system of internal improvements by the
:general Government. It will be a mere
I matter of contract. The original power of
Imaking contracts for the General Govern.
ment is vested in Congress. This body has
delegated to the heads of departments, the
power to make contracts for limited periods,
and has generally prohibited advances of
money until the articles be delivered, or the
service performed. But that body curt make,
or authorize to be made,unlimited contracts,
avid pay the whole consideration in advance.
Whether they will do so, is a question of
expediency only. .
It is not proposed to advance money to
any company, fir the purpose of enabling
them to make a road. The money is to
be paid only when the road is 'completed,
and the public service has commenced upon
it Sect innb of a road, however may be con
tracted for,and the consideration paid separ
ately. Thus, the road from Washington to
Baltimore, is a part or branch of the Balti
more and Ohio rail road. The use of that
section may be immediately contracted for
and the consideration paid; so of the section
from Baltimore to Frederick, &c. Nor
lees it affect the principle, if the company
avow that their purpose is to finish other'
sections of the road with the funds so pro•
cured. The Government does not pay then►
for that purpose, but to obtain the free use
of the sections already made. It matters
not whether the company make other sec
lions or other roads with those funds. The
Government will pay the considerations for
the use of those other section- , or other roads,
only when they may he completed.
Finally. This project, if adopted, will
nut to rest forever, all questions as to the
power of Congre-s to make roads within the
States, by receiving all the benefits of the
power without exercising or usurping it.
The Government will have throughout the
count ry,for its own purposes, free roil-roads
at an expense immeasurably short of the
cost of making them, withi)t assuming any
jurisdiction over the soil; without affecting
any State right; without exercising a power
in the least doubtful. Even in case the own
ers of the road liiil to perform the contract
service,it is not .proposed to (rive to the Gov
ernment any power to keep the road in ope
ration or to exercise any authority over it,
other than to sell it as they how do private
property, for the payment of debts to the
public.
It is, we think, no small recommendation
of this project, that it pramises to put an
end forever, and that speedily, to the dis
tractino questions as to the power of 'the
government to make roads and canals within
the States.
How delighted is the prospect presented
in another respert! Other Governments
are saddling posterity with debts which
generations will be unable to extinguish.--
W e propose so to apply our present abun
dance as to lessen the legitimate demands
on posterity. We propose to pay in advance
for the conveyance of their mails, the trans
portation of their public property, and their
armies—some of the heaviest items of ex
pense in all their wars, and considerable
charges upon them in times of peace. How
beautiful the contrast with all other Govern
ments of the world, ancient or modern! It
will be the first example—we hope it will
not be the last.
Why then should not a liberal portion of
the surplus revenue be devoted to this ob
ject? Give enough to the navy—enough to
forts—enough to the preparation of the
munitions of war-•and we shall have enough
left for this great purpose.

FROM TITE BALTIMORE TRANSCRIPT.
"Medical Education.
Dr. Reynell Coates of Philadelphia has
just published a pamphlet, entitled An Ora
tion on the present system of Medical In
struction in the United States. This sub.
ject, it must be admitted, is an important
one, for, at a time when quackery puts forth
its pretensions with unblushing front, the
public ought to. he well assured that practi•
tioners tinder the sanction of a dipburra from
a medical school,a re persons whose acquain
tance With the principles of their proti.ssion
is such as to - merit public confidence. A
physician, at the present day,should be bet
ter educated than it was oracficable fir one
to be when medical science was, to a consid
erable extent, undeveloped. Now the main
fault which Dr. Coates imputes to the sys
tem in this country is, that insufficient time
is given for making the necessary acquisi
tion. How, he asks, can a young man, in
.the brief time usually allotted,make himself
master of Physiology, Pathology, Anatomy,
Therapeutics, Materia Medica, and clinical
practice'! The two countries which accord
ing to 'our author, are the most deficient in
a good system of instruction are Enoland
and the United States;., and yet. had as is
the system in England, the qualifications re
quired for an apothecary who practices un
tier the sanction of Apothecary's Nall in
London, are greater than those required of
a physician by the medical schools in this
country' This, he says, is the fact, and it
ought to be known.
We are not about to controvert any part
ofDr. s ates's statements as far as they ap
ply to ge University of Pennsylvania; but
to his objection, that there is no Pro:Ossor of .
Medical Jurispru ten-e in most of the medi
cal schools, we would remark t tat it is not
:applicable to the University of llaryland,
where the scientific attainments, clear illus.
initions, and eloquent language of Or. Dun
lison are duly appreciated. Several of the
gather pr.►fes=ors, too. are men whose reputa
tion is widely extended. But though those
gentlemen" may discharge their duties in a
manner no where surpassed, it is manifestly
as impossible for the student. who listen to
six lectures daily, to benefit by the supera
bundance, as it would be for the stomach to
digest six full meals in the same time; since
the mind as much as the body may be injur
ed by a surfeit.
No adequate provision is made in Phila
delphia for the exercise id - clinical skill: the
same, we are afraid, is too true respectinEr
Baltimore; for though a few students may
benefit by attendance at the lnfirmary,t heir
number is too small to be taken int') the ac-
count when surveying the whole system.--
In Prussia, the students undergo a half year-
Iv es. ;ation of their skill in clinical prac
tice, whereas in this country no such exa -
natinn take.; place. This is not as it should
he, theofy wi:bruit practice being, in many
cases, as insufficient as a gu:de-book where
there are no landmarks.
Wr cannot but think that the public in
oener ii , and the medical profession in par
ticular, are under °lineations to Dr. Coates
tier the expos.tion he has given; and s‘e con•
elude our notice of his publication by sub
milting to the consideratitm of those who
are qualified to judge, whei her, as the peri , 'd
, finst ruction in the best schools on the con
tinent of Europe is fifty months, those who
are educated in them. st not in general,
surpass American Physicians, whose public
education extended over a period of only
eight months!

petent Anti Masons enough to fill those lu
'crative posts? Or have our friend G EST and
his associates become less Anti Masonic
since they have swallowed Harrison's Ma
sonry?
Rumor—false rumor, no doubt—says
that in the State Treasurer's office two ad
hering Masons are retained—one of them a
recusant witness! Fye ! this must be false!
Perhaps, however, it is designed to drop
Anti-Masonry since •base compound" "lit

.411istional Convention. -
Oz:rlf our friend of the Philadelphia .‘ln
quirer" supposes that the National Conven
tion is to meet merely to sanction the Ma
sonic Whig nomination of Harrison, ho is
in great error. It will meet to attempt to
revive and sustnin pure unmixed Anti-Ma
••sonry—not to daub over the foul, trencher
,
ous doing of the "base compound" Harris
burg Convention. We doubt not that true
political Anti-Masons will be selected for
candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent; men who would rather live their whole
lives in an honest minority, than to attain
the ascendancy by a prostitution of their
principles.
How are the mighty Men! After the last
Pennsylvania election, Anti• Masonry stood
on high, and might have controled the U
nion; She was betrayed here by mercenary
time•serving demagogues, and the whole
National party is prostrated, unless the Na
tional Convention can avert the evil!
We rejoice to learn that New Jersey,
Delaware, New York and many other States
will he represented. The Convention, we
have no doubt, will avoid alike the insidious
Masonic Van Buren and the unblushing
Masonic 'Harrison. Those of our friends
who go for either, rseem to us to be alike in
error. Give us a good, a pure, au exclusive
Anti• Mason. Then if we fail, we shall re_
tutu our principles for future victory. If
either Van Buren or Harrison succeeds . by
our votes, the party is merged and can never
he renewed—and what is worst of all, our
own principles will have been proved to be
base and hypocritical; and we the mere de
ceivers of an honest. people! No! give us an
EvEnErr, a WEasTER or a PALMER, and
then, if we should have no more left than
the immortal Spartan Band, we will gird on
our armour, charge again . the vile Mon

THE POLITICAL ASPECT.
From every part of the State, our infor
mation is most gratifying. The Democra
cy of Pennsylvania has thrown off the influ
ence ofthe Lodge,and will maintain its rights
in despite of central dictation. The peo:
ple have assented the government of thein
selves, and feel free. The burthens of tax
ation, fastened on them by the "prodigality
and profusion" of former days, have passed
from them; the horde of idle and useless
penbioners have been dismissed, and the
people are free. We have never known
the Denicicracy of the Commonwealth--the
Farmers and Mechanics—animated by a
better spirit; and notwithstanding the con
spiracies, arts, intrigues and fitlsehnods, the
elections next fall will prove to the Masonic
party, that there is '•a healthy action of pub•
lic sentiment;" and that the reins of power
have passed from them, never to return.
The new era ofthe rule of the people,that
has commenced, will be continued by them
--the revolution cannot be turned back,nor
arrested. The work of political rlgeneration
will be continued until every branch of the
government is purged of Masonic corrup
tion and iniquity.—Pa.

A great deal of time has been consumed
in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington in contesting the right of Mr. Gra
liam.a member from North Carolina, to his
seat in the House. The session on Satur-
day week was continued until some time on
Sunday morning, during which some dis
gracefhl violence of language was indulged
in between Mr. Bynun and Mr. Wise. Mr.
Graham was clearly entitled to his seat, but
it so happened that the Van Buren Party
wished to reject him in order to secure a
majority in the delegation oft hat State which
might be of importance to them in a certain
contingency. But the rascality of turning
him out and admitting Mr. Newlin, the Van
Burenite claiming his seat was so manifest
that those who were willing to "go it" were
at last defeated, arid the question was sent
buck to the people, whose business it is to
decide which of the two they prefer to re
present them.—Franklin Whig.
AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF ABOLISH
ING THE DUTY ON FOR E:IGN COALS.--The
editor elan evening paper justly remarks:—
"If the Pennsylvania coal, which not only
rises to the surface of the earth, but forms
her mountains, cannot be split of, rolled
down hill, and brought one hundred miles,
without a protecting duty against coal that
has to be dug up, and 'brought from Nova
Scotia and England, we say let Pennsylvania
warm herself by her own fires, while we pro
cure our fuel where we can obtain it the
cheapest."
A writer of love tales, in describing one
of his heroines, says, "innocence dwells in
the rich curls of her daik hair." The Exe
ter News letter thinks it is not a very secure
residence, as it would stand a pretty smart
chance of being combed out.
A barn belonging to Mr. Enos Ayres, be
tween Hightstown and Princeton, N. J. was
lately destroyed by fire, tugether with stx
horses, a carriage,Wagon, and three hundred
bushels of grain.
Mr. Van. Buren has publicly avowed his
belief that Congress has power to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia.
The nomination of Upton S Heath,ns Die•

says that C. C. Cambreleng will be appoint

A Jtiurczous REMARK•—We understand
that Governor Ritner, being asked why he
had appointed so many young men to office
in the counties of the State, replied--" 1 was
a young man myself once." There is much
in these few words. They show the kind
consideration of the Governor for those,who,
like himself, in his earlier days, are thrown
on their own resources and obliged to work
their own way in the world. The tact is
honorable to the chief magistrate of the State
and we could not suffer the occasion to pass
without noticing it.—Phil. Star.

THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.-A whole-
sale dealer in ardent spirits,stated to us some
time since,that, at the present lime, there is
not as much liquor sold in Philadelphia by
filly per rent. as there was five years ago.
This speaks well for the cause of Tempe

LATEST PROIVI FLORIDA.
The steam packet Etiwnn, Capt. Sassard,
arrived last evening from Picoluta, via Jack
siinville and St Marv's, having left the for
mer place on Thursday afternoon last. The
E. remained half a day at Jacksonville, and
wns detained two days at St. John's Bur,
having left the latter• on Monday morning
last.
The intelligence brought by the E. is, in
our view, important, for ~we thereby learn
not only the destruction of our brave sol-
diers, who yielded the comforts of home for
the honor of sustaining their country's flag.
but we perceive in it that hostile disposition
on the part of our savage enemy to regard
no dictates but the promptings of their re
vengeful bosoms.
A gentleman who left Fort Drane on
Thursday last, states, that Gen. Scott was
to cross the Wythlacoochee on Saturday
last. From a letter written by an officer at
that post, we learn that our gallant Army
expect a desperate contest before the war is
terminated. We publish all the information
we can collect We regret that we are not
able to relieve the anxieties of our Carolina
brethren, who have friends in the army, ht
publishing the names of those slain at Vo
lusia.
No paper, we learn, had been published
at Jacksonville last week when the E. left.

Only one Indian iv gro was killed."

"They are fighting away at Volusia; last

Indians crept up, and shot the fiver sentinels
down the first fire, wounded several others.
We expect the boat down to•night, and will
hear more news."
Extract of another letter,
"Since Gem Gaines left Wythiaconchee
nothing new has transpired in the army.—
On the 23d or 24th the Indians attacked a
part of Gen. Eustis' army, after crossing the
river St. John's at Volusia, and killed two
and wounded six, four of which are suppos

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT.-
The Governor of Indiana has issued a proc
lamation calling upon the people of that
state to aid in the prosecution of this noble
undertaking. He advises the public officers,
civil and military, to call meetings in each
county, for the purpose of makingcontribu
lions to the work. He closes his proclama.
tion with the following patriotic appeal:
"Indiantanbl for the name of Washington
we acknowledge our veneration. In his fame
and character, imperishable of themselves,
we all claim a property, nationally and indi
vidually, one that no American would part
with; and now that our fellow citizens of
other .States are sending in their mites, It is
believed we have too much State pride to he
lacking in evidence of our public spirit, pat
riotism and gratitude for the Father of his
Country."
Were the Governor of every State to
manifest the same interest in the success of
the undertaking, a monument would soon be
completed worthy ofthe nation.[Balt. Tran.

CHARLES OGLE, ESQ.
The Governor has appointed the above
named gentleman President Judge of the
judicial district, composed of the county of
Lancaster. This appointment cannot but
give great satisfaction to the true friends of
the Administration, generally, but particu
larly to the people of Lancaster county over
whom he is appointed to preside in the ad
ministration of Justice.
Mr. Ogle is an eminent lawyer; has for
many years stood at the head of the bar in
Somerset county, nod has ranked amongst
the most distinguished in his profession in
the western part of the state. To high le
gal learning and astuteness he adds the ac•
complishments of the scholar, and although
his education to the practice of a laborious
profession has in a great measure kept him
from the public eye, at a distance, yet his
intimate acquaintances have long known and
admired his talenis and have believed that
a more extensive field only was wanting to
rank him amongst the first men in Pennsyl
vania.
We sincerely rejoice that Nir. Ogle has
been induced to accept the appoin!ment; for
although to him it will be a private loss, as
he urged against an acceptance of the uP
pointment when offered him,yet it will prove
a public gain.
In addition to his legal and personal quali
fications for the important station which he
is called to fill, there is one no less gratifying
to us than it will be to every Democratic
Anti• Mason. He is an Anti-Mason of '29.
He was one of the first—the Spartan hand
—who in this state unfurled the Anti• Ma
sonic banner, and has undeviateirgly stood
by it through the toil and struggle of a long
and arduous campaign, giving freely his
time, his talents, and his means to build up
the cause. By those who encountered the
malignant sneers, unrelenting persecution,
and vile calumnies of the Lodge,the appoint
ment of Mr. Ogle, who has been a constant,
zealous and efficient co•lahorer in the work,
through all its perils, will be received with
rapture. It will prove to then') a gratifica
tion that could scarcely be heightened. In
deed, whether the public interests or party
gratification were taken into view, the ap
pointment of Mr. Ogle will prove peculiarly
fortunate.—Pa.''telegraph.
