ent and Icsj dangerous in doctrines, witliout re
gard to party or friendship. Our citizens should
give this subject their mature consideration —
no party feud, nor private animosity, nor friend
ly attachments, should swav thoir judgments ;
but all these should be sacrificed tor their coun
try’s good. They should demand of the candi
dates ,or our ano Na-iou<.d
an txjKisition of their political faith ; tor the
state of our country is such us to render it ne
cessary that we should know in whom we con
fide ; and whom we make the representatives ul
our feelings alid opinions. Aluch depends, 1
may almost say, the safety of our Union de
pends upon the s ate of our feelings and political
views as represented by those, whom we may
place in power, at our election in October next-.
Such an exposure of the peace of our country,
demands of us every precaution—and every
citizen should consider i‘ an in dispensable duty!
to make known his political opinions in relation
to this important crisis by his vote at the* next
election ; that Carolina may know if we intend
to support her in an attempt at revolution or not. j
Every one, who feels an interest in the prosper
ity of our Nation, should endeavour U* allay
undue angry feelings, by exposing the fallacy
and destructive nature of the- politics of the nul
lilica ion party of this State ; caution our fel
low.citizens, not to believe all that is asserted,
but to require* proof and satisfactory proof for;
the truth of assertions, before they give them!
credence. Revolution is too dangerous arerne
dy for imaginary evils, or real evils, which are*
not proportionally great with the remedy.—Ri
clicuie and contemptible epithets, arc the most
effectual weapons of the friends of nullification
for propagating their doctrines; beware, fellow
citizens, of those powerful and corrupt means
for converting weak minds. 1 think we may
even in charity suspect them of desiring and de
signing nothing short of a dissolution of the
Union. I believe if every cent on the Tariff
was taken olf, the leaders ed’ that party would j
not be satisfied at a continuance of tins Union|
as it now exists, (for the more Republics tlie|
greater would be the probability of the amhiti-j
uus becoming Presidents, Arc.) And am I not
justified iu forming such a conclusion, from the
•vole which they have given on he Tariff Bill,
which has just been passed in Congress, redu
cing tlie duties, of which we justly complain, a
bout one third less than the present Tariff ?
Did they manifest a desire for this reduction ?
I'hey voted against it—a reduction ofthe Tariff!
is not their object. Are wo not to suppose they
desired the Tariff should remain as it was, rath
er than undergo a reduction ? Most assuredly,
or they would have accepted as great a reduc
tion as they could have obtained during this ses
sion of Congress ; and indulge the hope of se
curing a greater at some future period, proba
bly at the next session. Such was the wish of!
their constituents, A: such Ticy have always ex
pressed to be their own ; but acts must speak loud
er than words. It is evidi nt they have no wish to
remove the cause of complaint which we have
against the Northern A: Western Suites. They
well knew, that any material modification of the
Parill would disperse the violent excitement,
which they have boon so actively engaged in
promoting. For had they desired a reduction,
their votes Certainly present a strange anomaly.
And how shall we account for the equally st range
conduct of the Representatives of our own Siate ?
1 am fearful they have been to a very unfortun
ate school for a few months past, and have been
deluded by Sou h-Curolina ingenuity ; and in
s.ead of voting for a bill to relieve the South
from another far more burdensome, they have
united their force with the Carolina nuilitiers
and the extreme tariff advocates, to rive’ more
firmly upon us our grievances. They may pro
bably account for it, as the nullifiers do, that
the new tarilf is worse than the old-. Strange
infatuation, if that be their sincere belief-—as
well may a mall believe that a taji of KStS is
greater than one of •$?). — You may bo Sold, fel- j
low.citizens, by the nullifiers, that fire is colder!
dian ice, but, do not, believe them. There is;
something mysterious indeed iu this affair.—Ourj
own representatives vote against a bill intended
to give us relief! ! Think of this, f.-llow-citi-!
zeiis— our own representatives vote against a trill
intended to give us relief !! / Demand an ex
position of tlicir politics—examine them well—
and if our State does not afford more suitable
men to represent us in Congress—then manifest,
your disapprobation of their conduct, by per
mitting our firm and independent statesman,
.f.vMKs M. Wavm;, to appear first on your tick
et, he merits every vote of the State. Remem
ber, much depends on the result of our election
in October next ; Carolina will then decide,
whether Georgia is with her or against her.—
She already says, from the votes of our Repre
sentatives iu Congress, that we are for nullifi
cation ; but let her bo convinced of her error in
October next. A GEORGIAN*
THE "REVIEW’* REVIEWED.
Whenever a writer sots about a task to cor
rect public abuses, it is supposed, generally
speaking, that he basins made himself fully ac
quainted with the subject treated of. It seems,
that a writer, signing himself “ Machaox,” in
the Constitutionalist of the 24th ult. has animad
verted on a law passed in 1825 creating the
Hoard of Physicians, and its amendments, a
dopted in 1831.
To begin with his errors :—ln alluding to the
law of 1825, he lias given it a wrong caption,
which he quotes as follows : “ No one shall pre
scribe tor the cure of diseases, for fee or re
ward, without a license,” and then makes his
Comments accordingly. Now, the true caption
pf the law is as follows: “An act to regulate
the lice tiding of Physicians to practice Physic and
Surgery id this State. ,, At the time this act was
passed, nearly all of the surrounding States had
adopted a similar law. Mississippi, Alabama!
and Soutb-Carolina, had established Medical
Boards. The rejected of these States, sought
an asylum in Georgia, Till the evil, arising from
their accumulation among our farmers, who
wore compelled to depend upon them, to the ex
clusion of more skillful, or better informed phy
siciaus, became so great, that they loudly coni
plained to the Legislature. Many of the Grand
Juries in the most respectable counties of the:
State, recommended the Legislature to cs ablish 1
a board of physicians, for the examination of
young men, l*eforc they began the practice of
medicine. Students of law were required to un. 1
viergo mi examination before they entered on the 1
duties of their profession, and it was not per
ceived whv those who were to bo entrusted with
the care of lives, should not bo examined, as
well as those who were to bo entrusted with the
care of property. In 1625, the Legislature, in
obedience to the repeated calls and petitions of
the people, passed the law creating the board of
physicians: with twenty-one members taken
from different sections of the State. The first
session of tlie board was held in December, IB2G
—when twenty fee or thirty students were ex
• i airiine.i and licensed, and only some five or six'
!: gradu fss, presented diplomas and received li
•j censes, and some were rejected from a want of
• | qualifications. The board have continued to
; lancet annually ever since, and that without com- 1
•i: peusation, further than the small examination
■ and license fees, allowed by die law. At the
, iihist session of the board, the candidates for
s|| examia ttion had decreased from alrout thirty,
■ | down to fi n or twelve ; while the graduates from
■ j respectable medical schools, had increased to
'dicenly-five or thirty. The result of the law has
been, that instead of farmers receiving half cJ-,
•ucated students to practice in their neighbor
hoods, they have now sent them, mostly respect
j b!o graduates, from respectable medical schools.: !
Whether Machaox,” would prefer one of these j
to his “ old man, who only knows the doses of
Calumet, Jalap and Salts,” we imagine the iar- i
get portion of our fellow citizens would prefer
them. The law, at the time of its passage, did :
11 not prohibit the continuance of ail to practice, 1
• ■who had been previously engaged in it. So '
Uhat, if his old man of “ Jalap, Calomel and'l
I Salts,” (if really old,) knew IfOw to give these | i
i medicines, and cliarged fur so doing, before the I 1
law was passed, “ Machaon* ” can still derivei :
;thc benefit of his services, in preference to the i 1
'services of graduates, and have the priviledgeofj «
; paying him well for them, if so disposed. But 1
|a man who is now ignorant of those medicines, 1
the law intends, shall not set himself up as a re- I
gular physician, and by going into strange 1
neighborhoods, pretend lie is exceedingly 3kil- '<
ful, and before tlie people can detect his impo- I
sition, their lives and tlieir pockets are sacrificed j 1
to quackery. If those, with “ M.” who prefer
the employment of one only acquainted with ike <
, \doses of a few simple medicines, and he is not '■
able to give these without pay, they are at liber- I
ty to reward him to any amount they may think j t
'proper; but the law is determined those who do j
’.not place so high a value on his services shall 1
I not be compelled to pay Ins charges, or to pay i
| something for nothing. * <
j Regular educated physicians multiply so ra
i pidly, that no respectable neighborhood in the -
jSiate will bo long without the services of one.; <
I W o will agree with “ M.” in the opinion, that if I
ii the-mass of people were sufficiently versed in i
i • • 4 4 •>
: medicine, there would be no use for the board t
|cf physicians; becatisc, then, uo pretenders J <
j could live in the State, as only regular physi- j i
| cians would find employment, the people acting <
1 as their own board ; but because many of our, t
ji people arc ignorant of medicine, it is no reason; 1
their lives should not be protected against the! *
destruction of pretenders. Wo agree with “ M.”| <
in the necessity es having medicine enter, more; 1
or less, into a polite education ; yet, because this : j
cannot be the case all at once, we arc unwilling I <
'• 7 j
to have the lives of our less favoured citizens jefi- '
’! pardized in the hands of every one, who knows i *
only tiio doses of the most common medicines, i {
Even should there be a neighborhood, or a strip I 1
| of piticy woods, with nobody to give physic, but 1
his old man of Jalap skill—whether would it be!
better that such a small section should stiller a| t
little inconvenience, than for all the balance of )
the State to be over burthened, and over run with' t
iloctors of die same limited knowledge. 80-j <
sides, we have no idea that his old man Os " Ja. j
lap,” in such an exigency, will ever be iutCi fer- <
ed with—-and if he was, we have no doubt but' <
the Legislature would grant a special act for his! :
relief, backed by a recommendation of the board, t
of physicians. | I
The board have been engaged in the consci- ]
entious discliarge of tlic-iv duties, for a period of i
six years, and have endeavored to do right, a-! t
imidst praise and censure. They entertain a! f
| hope, that in a few years more, their labors will t
I be so far crowned with success, as to bring about j 1
| that change in preparu ory siudies, for the re-' t
| sponsible station of physician, as io causa all! '
j who begin the practice of medicine in the State, | 1
to be graduates of good sending ; and that few, | c
t voo for us:amindti«»U) v | I
! ccpt that class of promising young men, who; (
I are prevented from graduating by pecuniary! t
j embarrassmeu s. The board have made some' 1
I'.sacrifices in the discharge of their duties; but: c
J O 7
llthey feel confident that their conduct has metOjf
1 the approval of their fellow citizens, from whom 'I
jthey at first received their appointment. If.jt
“ M achaox ” thinks otherwise, he had better ap- 1
peal to the Legislature, and present ar.icles ofi i
impcacbmeut, and we have no doubt, if he can: I
prove to that body we have neglected our du- i
ty, they will remove ns, and appoint others in j ]
our places, whom “ M.” will nominate to the of-' i
lice. 1
As respects our authority to examine apothe- i
caries, it has been almost a dead part of the law.' i
The board have not, as yet, had the honor of 1
examining the first apothecary. Wo believe 1 i
jone or two are preparing and selling drugs un-:
idera temporary license; and one or two arc 1
i candidates for examination at our next meeting. \
tv O j
jAnd although none of the board are graduates{
lin pharmacy, yet, many of them have heard
! lectures on pharmacy, for two or three courses ;
but did not see fit to take a degree, as they ex-;
j pectod to practice medicine and not “ pharmacy.”
| Besides, there are some good chemists on the
j board who, from their knowledge of the science,
i are obliged to understand more or less of “ phar
iinacy.” Several members, also, began their
■studies in drug stores, and must know something I
of pharmacy. It was proposed at our last meet. [
ling, to fill a few of our future vacancies with:
our respectable apothecaries ; it was, however,!
opposed, on the ground, that there were so few*
! apothecaries in our comparatively new State,;
i and as no candidates had yet appeared, there'
seemed no necessity for the measure. Most per
sons engaged in the drug business are not, in the i
I strict sense of the term, apothecaries, but mcr- j
chants, buying and selling drugs, most of which, :
when received, are already prepared, or in a
' stage of preparation. When they become more;
numerous, and our country gets older, wo have;
ino doubt some apothecaries will belong to the
' board ; because we hold it equally important,:
ithat a man who prepares medicine for sale,'
should understand it, as well as the practitioner’
! who is to give it. The safety of a man’s life j
may often,depend upon the genuineness or puri-|
!ty of the medicine administered. If it is im-i
pure or adulterated, its exhibition may be at
tended with fatal consequences. It is better—
■ iinfinitely better, that ail apothecaries should be;
’ examined, than that a single life should besacri
pficed to ignorance.
“ Maciiaon ” is most egregiously, if not wil-'
fully, mis aken, in supposing die law of 1825, or
its amendments of 1831, are intended to operate
r at all on practitioners of midwifery, whether
' males or females. The caption of the law is
(sufficient to have convinced him of this. It
• says, “ An act to regulate the licensing of phy
' sicians to practice physic and surgery in this
[' State. * In all ot our licenses, we stale the
•' same thing, viz.: “ A. B. is hereby licensed to
practice physic and surgery.” Midwifery is not
. comprehended, nor alluded to by the law, and 1 ]
for “ M.” to conclude otherwise, supposes him [j
veryignorani upon the subject on which lie writes, 1
or that he has wilfully misrepresented the law.
We think the time may, however, come when it,
would bo well to regukue this branch of medi-j
cine, it in no other way, at least to examine!
female practitioners, and to give the best qualifi
ed, Suitable recommendations. Then the people
would know who among them was most o be
depended on. We are certain, for the want of,
some regulation of this sort, the lives of many)
valuable mothers are annually sacrificed to the
caprice or ignorance of female midwives.
Darius’ six years expt rience, the board found
tire law laboured under some defects, which re
quired alteration. These were pointed out to the
Legislature, and were promptly corrected by
that respectable body. Among these it was
found that the law required the briard to meet in
Milledgeville annually, on the first Monday in
December, and named seven as a quorum for
business. Now, on diis first day cf meeting, if
only six attended, they had no power to adjourn
till another day, to await the arrival cf other i
members, detained, perhaps, by accident. Un
der these circumstances, it was apparent a srs-;
sion might fail, and prove a great iuconveni- !
euce to applicants, who would have to wait an
other year. Under these circumstances, power
was given to four members of the board to con
duct its business. It was also thought better that
four should examine ‘the candidates, rather than -
the business ct the board sheuld fall through for
• 1 * t-, . O
a single session. From eight to thirteen mem
hers have so far usually attended—and will pro
bably continue to do so.
It was also found that many young men had
either bought or borrowed books, and read to
themselves, and that very irregularly, often in
books either superseded in the profession, or too
much abridged or epitomized togivc them a com
potent knowledge of the science. If. was thought
best to obviate this difficulty, by giving the board
power to prescribe a course of reading for stu
dents.
It was discovered that a class of quacks had
sprung up at the north calling themselves “steam
or herb-doctors,” claiming for some few nc ive,
but old and simple agents, exiraordinary powers
in the cut-e of diseases, and from a wan. of knowl
edge ot anatomy, and the na: urc ofdiseased struc
lures, or organs—they have so misapplied them,
in many instances, as to destroy the lives of some
credulous and ignorant people. This new styled
class of pretenders have gone on to establish
what they term “ Reformed Medical Colleges ” in
Ohio find other places. According to tiie law
of 1825, all graduates of whatever kind, or from
whatever school, were on the present a tiion of a
Diploma , to secure a license to practice medi
cine without an examination, and that forever.
Os course a graduate ol a lt Reformed Medical
College,” although grossly ignorant of the first
principles ol medicine, could have demanded a
license at our hands, under the old law, and we
would have been com pel led to Lave granted it.
To protect our fellow citizens from such gradu-j
ated quacks, the Legislature gave the board
power to examine all graduates whose qualifica
tions they doubted, and io withhold licenses from
all who were found incompetent to practice
physic and surgery. The next amendment gives
the board power to require from each applicant
a satisfactory certificate of his having sustained i
a good moral character. This is a very impor
tant improvement in the law, and which was
loudly called for. it has sometimes been the
painful duty ot the board to examine some young
men, of the most abandoned habi s, and even un-j
tier the law, to grant them a license, while thev!
foresaw, or hhd the best reason to believe, that;
their future course of dissipation and profligacy,
would bring disgrace on the profession. They
at one time had to examine a young man who
was in a partial state of intoxicaiion, whose of
fensive belchings and hiccupings, sent the most
offensive smell cf their fa<•-/«?. One or
irrv .%i.cis, who laboured under a notorious bad
character at the time, have since acted disgrace
tally to themselves, their friends and their pro
fession. Wo cannot tell how it is with “Mocha
on” but we would feign believe, that the sober
and reflecting part of the community would pre
fer a sober, steady, respectable arid well instruct,
ed physician to administer to their families, and
to prescribe for their nearest friends—to an i<r
•* • 1
norant, intemperate and immoral pretender.—
No station is more delicate or mCre responsible
in society than that of a physician. And we
presume* the more orderly portion of the people
in our state, are in favour of the present regula
tion oft he profession. If “M.” thinks it is too
much regulated, or that savages are better re
gulated; why, he is a free man, and can choose
his residence in any place he likes best, or in
any country where there are fewest regulations.
