■c’rtainfy to have taken some pains to do it in a ■manner to cause as little inconvenience as pos- V a l .*. They might have regulated the large ||towns, as Augusta, Savannah, Darien, Macop, llitii 1 Columbus ; the smaller on“.s which arc sur ■roundod by a dense population, as Eatonton, ■Monticello, Greenesborough, and others similar ly si'uatcd : hut to extend their regulations into the poor fiiinlv settled piney woods, is objec tionable from o her reasons than its restrictive I nature. The law will bo violated everyday Avi h impunity, over an extensive surface of the e tte ; for laws winch are contrary to the sense Hos the community, will s- Mom be executed. ■This circums unco makes an objection to them, l,.';s creating a habit of disregard ia the people Jbr all laws. The business of vending medicine is also rc ■gulated. Here also is evident the same parental ten ■dftness and care for the good of the people, ■ which was so conspicuous in the regulations of ■ I.vcureus, Numa, and s veral other ancient leg ■ islat «rs. It would seem that the effects of com ipc’ition w.iS expected by a diminution of the ■ number of competitors. What Is it, I would ■ ask, that improves the quality and lessens the ■price of all the productions of art ? I always ■thought it was the effects of the rivalry of in ■ r:\iduals before good judges. The law re fquin s every aj>o hecarv to take out a license ■ he!ore he comm, nc s business. Let the city of ■ Auxista double its population, which it will pro ■ hablv do in the life time of several of our apo ■ thecaries, and let the law operate so as to keep Bo r others from settling here, and we shall see ■ what wc shall pay fur drugs. If any apothcca ■rt sells pukes or purges that do not operate, let ■ tiio.-» who buy, go to ano her, as they do when ■ they got any o her necessary article. To be ■ c *u i :is‘< Ji , the law should regulate several other ■ things, if the people in their wisdom have dc if t nn.aed b y have not wisdom to manage their i priva e uff.i rs themselves ; Jf they will send me Ito lie legislature, 1 will do it in style. I will I nave the cooks at the public hotels examined. * This I deem highly necessary, as people eat sc- Vcral times a day, but take medicine seldom. The Butchers and Bakers shall also ho examin- I ed. she object of the law appears to he, to I protect the community from the effects of the 1 ignorance of the apothecaries; afor this is done, I th n what s curity is th -re against his dishones ty tv ? Much more mischief is done by the dis | honesty, than ignorance of t ios ; who vend me- I dicine. Besid s the bad pol cy of legislating©!! I matters which had best be left to the good sense lof individuals, I dislike the way the appoint. I rivets were made. Those who are to examine I applican s to practice me licine, or sell drugs, I v.a re appointed by the legislature. The men I who examine the apothecaries ought to have | bci-n appointed by the apoth .-curies from among themselves. Those wlio are to perform the I same office lor the physicians, ought to have be a elee'ed by lie physicians. Let it be re- I memb red, hat the apo hccary examiners had no o lieial evidence to offer the legislature that I they themselves woi • apothecaries. There is I a Co!urge of Pharmacy m Philadelphia, where | diplomas are given. If any of those gentlemen -an exhibi one ot‘ those papers, hen 1 will ad \ mit lie lias evidence to prove he has knowledge I <sough of he b isiness to examine an apo-heca ry. Fh * inconsistency of he laws shows the want of knowledge of the malor in those who made them. One part showing grea regard for the public welfare, while o her pars show the cx ne degr e of carelessness or ignorance. TU lee slatare not content with passing a law fraught with errors in principle, and inconsis tency in <1 tail, must nee !s do more; and, in 1 TU, passed another to amend i:. It was not I until a few days ago, that his law of 1831 be came known to us, and dial by accident. We bad seen a caption of the laws in a newspaper, | mid observed one ro amen 1 the one in force, but : did not think any thingof importance had been ; done. We thought nothing more of the matter, : until happening to take up the laws of the last I Session; the one to amen I the act of nut oar eyes. Wc suspect few of the physicians of i the State have attended 'of. The law makes tit obligatory on the Board of Physicians, to pre [ fieri be such course of reading as, in ih.gir opin ion, may be necessary and proper to those who intend to pursue their studies under private in structors in medicine, w hich course m be pub lished in the gazettes, and to bo obligatory on those who mav apply to the board for license, after th - expiration of two years, from the ex piration of the publication. This part of the law men's the serious considera ion of he wdiole community ; the medical part especially. The first thought we had at reading his astonishing product of genius and good sense, was from whence did the idea emanate ? Not from the people ; for they never trouble themselves with ; such mat ers ; not from the legislature, for of that body arc two men we are acquainted with, who arc highly respectable in the legislature as sound politicians, as well as in an extended circle as physicians at home ; and we have good reasons fur believing both were opposed to all the laws that have been passed on the subject of regular ing tli-* practice of medicine. With whom then did the idea of such a law emanate 1 Is it pos sible that any physician, residing in Augusta, or i Savannah, or Millcdgeville, could have been weak enough to imagine that his consequence among his brethren at home, or from home, or his interest as a practitioner, or his consequence as a man. would lx promoted by his being at the head of this matter ? In the first place, it is an unprecedented degree of arrogance and preten sion, in any four physicians, to take upon them, s Ives to dictate to every other physician in the State, what books he shall put in o the hands ot his student. The law gives greater power than this. A young man going from Georgia to N. York or Philadelphia, or to Paris or London, with the intention of returning here to pursue the practice, notwithstanding he may have stu died under the greatest men in those places, is s i ! compelled to read the books prescribed b r the board at Millc Igeville ! Under the law of 1825, seven could transact business, under that of 1531, four can do it. Three being the ma jority of four, this important power can be wipld- V-i by throe Doctors, and they, perhaps, some r tun -s, not the most eminent in the State. Phis is not like a college, prescribing to the young men, studying in its walls, what books they are to read, it is as if tlie Congress ot the I n ted States had the power, and was ?o give to one school of medicine, the power to dictate to eve ry other school in the United S:a‘es. It is as it *ho Btato was to form a board of agriculture, with pow er to prescribe to every farmer how he should plant his corn and corton, the pattern of his agricultural instruments, on what articles his hogs and cows should be fed, and all such parti culars. \yiiat will come next ? We are very curious to know what coarse of studies will be 4 - published for the young men who are to be the (uturedfrictdrs of Georgia. No doubt there are l books known to the board at Millcdgeville, but. unknown to the rest of tlie medical men of the ; State, or oi the world, fur superior to Bichat or , i Bedard in Anatomy, or to Larrey, or Cooper, ori . jCarmtchael, and others, in Surgery, and a host ofi ■ j°thers, in the other branches of medicine. This! • {part of the law is inconsistent. It supposes the > I physicians, generally, to be capable of practi-j • j c i n g> but not of teaching medicine. It surren-l ' [ders the sick to the discretion of the Doctor the v |choose, provided he be licensed, but dictates o ; j the Doctor as to his pupil. We think the iv-: ; verse of this should obtain. We believe there | , ■ are twenty physicians capable of teaching well, I . . where there is one capable of practicing well, j • j We will endeavour to point out another in-1 jeons’stency in the paternal care of the law. 11l . ;leaves no discretion in the board in licensing a- O * ny who do not produce certificates ot' a good ■ | moral character. The license, how ever, being for j , life, and good moral character being very often f for only a few years, ought to be renewed peri • jodically. 'This, it appears to us, is a most im . Sportent omission. • | If any one was to inquire of us what wo would I do to remedy the evils mankind suffer from ■ ! quackery, 1 would answer by denying, positive-j ij ly, the extent of tlie evil complained of, but rea-| . jjdily admit its existence. The great outcry aris • j|es from physicians endeavouring to injure each •‘other; each cries out quack against the oilier : f| the people join; one half join one Doctor, the) . other half join the other Doctor, so in time both jjget cried down. There is nut u physician in A- j )||merica who has nut been branded with quackc-) ■! 1 ry h}- some of his brethren. But for the sake of I -1 j illustration, we will admit the existence of the til evil to the fullest extent complained of. The i | remedy is the same for this, as for others which : J mankind have sulferred, ever since the creation. •.Destroy ignorance by putting knowledge in its - H stead. At the present day, in those countries •{j where mankind are ignorant on the subjects of ■' theology and government, the men who take I j|charge of those interests for the people abuse . j their confidence with impunity. Wherever igno .' ranee of theology tV government exists, there will . 11 be quack priests ami politicians; as knowledge in ■ I'creases the evils suffered from a want of it will dt diminish. To remedy the evils complained of-in ■! medicine in tins State, let a sufficient knowledge .! jof medicine be taught every young man, to de • Aect gross imposition. Let there boa Professor . 'ship of Medicine established at Athens ; let the ■ Institute in this place be liberally endowed, so i ‘that lectures may be given to all who may wish to profit by them, gratis. Until something of ■ ; ! this kind is done ; until a knowledge of this mat ;!i ter becomes as generally diffused among the peo ,!' pie as it is on other things which interest them.' i j they must be content to suffer, as they do in i ;‘ other things : there is uo help fur them. : MACH AON.

A number of other patriotic toasts were giv en, but are obliged to be omitted, in consequence of their not being endorsed by those by whom they were given. We learn from an extra, issued from the of fice of the Sumter Whig, on the 12th inst. that a diabolical attempt was made on the 4th, to poison those who partook of the dinner provi ded in Upper Salem, for the celebration of our i national independence. A letter from Bishop i ville, states that a son of Mr. Edwakd Stuckey, ! a very promising young man, had*died from the I effects of the poison, and that a great many | others were lying dangerously ill. At least Fifty Slaves on Dr. Bishop’s plantation, who partook of the fragments, had been affected in a similar way. A slave, the property of Dr. Bishop, has been already tried and convicted of | the offence, and sentenced to be executed on the : lOf/i of next month. All the cooks have been arrested, and every requisite step has been ta ken to sift the transaction, and bring the perpe i trators of this diabolical tragedy to condign andj ! speedy punishment. A private letter from Sumterville, of the 12th 1 i inst. gives a more serious account of this nefa rious business. It says —“ We have two or. I three negroes in our jail for poisoning the din- j : nor at Bishopville on the 4th July—nearly 2001 persons are now so ill their lives are despaired; of; 3or 4 have died.”— Chas.

PROSPECTUS. The former Editor ofthe “ Southern Spy," M. Smith, and Doctor J. B. Monroe, intend to commence the pub lication of a Political Newspaper, in the month of Octo ber next, in the Town of Lawrenceville, Gwinnett coun ty, Georgia, to be entitled THS £AW2IE2f OSVIX.I.E HERALD. The dense population of this and the adjoining coun ties, and the almost certain fact of the immediate occu pation, by the people of Georgia, of the Cherokee coun try, fully justify the establishment of a Press in this sec tion ofthe State. , The Political doctrine of the HERALD will be ac- . cording to the policy and interest of Georgia, as regards , State Rights, and the propriety of the removal of all the Indians ot the South.—The South-Caroliaa doctrine of s indiscriminate Nullification will not be supported by the , Herald—but the reserved rights of the States will be > pled as the best method of preserving the confederated , Union. j The Herald, in all other cases, shall he a perfectly , free and neutral paper—‘lts columns shall be open ai- \ ways for the discussion of all political questions that . may be agitated by either of the political parties in Geor gia—not the least preference shall be given to either of ( thorn.—The subscribers to the Herald shall enjoy the ( full and uncommon privilege of reading in the same pa- . per both sides of all political questions and movements j of importance, not only in Georgia, but in every State of , the Union. Our motto shall be Pro et Con. , The Herald will vindicate the Rights of Man —ofin- !] suited justice—injured innocence—defamed reputation, 1 !] and the cause ot morality—but will have nothing to do: , with Theological or Religious controversy—this is the j] business of the Clergy, A summary view will be given every week in the | j Herald of all important events that may transpire in I , the world, as we may collect it from the Newspapers of j , the United States and from Europe. The location of the Herald in the vicinity of the Che- ! j rokec country and the Golden Mines, will enable us toa ; give all the Indian and Golden News from that region. j|. But few persons, it is hoped, in this and the adjoining j ; counties, will refuse to patronize the Herald, as there-]j by much money may be retained in this section that now !; goes abroad for Newspapers and other prints. j; Most excellent facilities are now afforded by the fre- ;, quency of the mails to this place, of obtaining the ear- 1 j liest news from Milledgeville, Augusta, Savannah, . Charleston, New-York, and the other northern cities,; , and of disseminating the same by the Herald, to every 1 section. No pains or expense will be withhclcf from rendering ■, the Herald worthy of a liberal patronage and which | ( we have reason to believe it will obtain. As the Print- !> ing Materials are already in possession, there need be no doubt of the publication. CONDITIONS: j 1 I. —The Herald will be printed every Wednesday Ij* on a super-royal sheet, on good paper and type. j| 11. —Price per annum, will be $2 in advance, at the ’;, time of subscribing, paid to M.

In presenting this number to the notice of our patrons we again take occa sion to render thanks for the liberality which has been extended towards us, and to invite attention to our work. It would be fastidious in us to deny that our Boole pos sesses merits which no similar publication can fairly claim. The immense and unprecedented patronage bestowed upon it, the continual rapid augmentation of the general and concurrent testimony of the press in its favour, are circumstances which leave us no room for doubt on this subject. Indeed with the superior facili ties we possess, we should be properly obnoxious to cen sure, if our work did not surpass its contemporaries. In our present number we think there will be found considerable improvement. We respectfully ask atten tion to our Plate of the Fashions, which we boldly as sert is unequalled by any similar engraving heretofore published in this country, and in proof of this we need only institute a comparison between it and those furnish* ed by other periodicals. Anxious as we have always been to avoid any invidious distinctions, we should not have referred to tins matter, had not ‘ comparison been challenged' by the publisher of another journal. Wo hope the contrast will be made, and shall esteem it a particular favour on the part of our editorial brethren if any of them whose leisure will permit, will examine our plate either in reference to its own merits, or by comparison with others. The result of such an exam ination we know must be favourable. The artists em ployed by us are ot the first excellence, ami their works are such as need shrink from no investigation. The wood engravings accompanying the present number will also be found worthy of admiration. We had hoped to furnish in the present number the PRIZE TALE and POEM for which our premiums of $250 were offered. In this we have been disappoint, ed, as the gentlemen composing the Committee have been so occupied in their various public avocations, that they have not yet made the award. In our next we snail have the pleasure of laying both the Prize articles before our readers, and it gratifies us to be able to as. sure them that, wherever the award may fall, it will be well deserved, as we have received and laid before the Committee a very large number of unusually interesting Tales and Poems. The publication of these will bo regularly continued, and the future numbers of the Lady’s Book will contain original contributions such us will safely bear comparison with those of any othe* periodical, foreign or American. In the course of the volume which has now com. mended, a variety of improvements will be effected. Among these we may mention the introduction of sev eral very peculiar and striking engravings.
