er has become blended with individual opin- j ions and the spirit ol dictation become ]>ara lvaed and powerless. Freedom of thought j has been planted amid the smoke of battle j and enriched bv the blood of the purest pat riotism : it is a right no human authority can now control; “it is older than the sceptre of the KiDg or the mitre of the Prelate; it comes from the hand that moulded an image of the Divinity from the clay of the young world and kindling therein a soul as inde structible a a that had itself gave to it the universe for a home and an eternity for its career ; it is the first right of man. As it is the first right of man, so gov rnmtfnts should guard and aociety assert it; it is the great right on which the instttutions of a country must be based, so that society may not be a servitude nor government a despotism. Inspired by these thoughts the world has ad vanced in all the material interests that give an impulse to civilization. Yet, while these great interests have at. trncted so much of human genius and im provement, we find that Medicine, until the days of Thomson’s discovery never advanced beyond a position where science became ashamed of its fellowship, and left it to it? own blind and unintelligible speculations ; various theories had been propounded in re gard to the organic-.il sciences. Anatomy was cultivated with diligence, and many in stances might be alluded to, illustrating its ‘ progress and development from the days of j Mondine or Galen down to this hour. If we i had time we might trace the rudimentary j doctrine of the circulation of the blood float- * ing in detached fragments, through the writings of many eminent men, such as Car pa and Yesalina, down to the year IP>l9, when Harvey promulgated the true manner of this important function, although after the dis covery nine long years had elapsed before his doctrines and discovery became known through a work be published at Frankfort in 1028, and when first announced to the world, men resisted its endorsement, denied it- 1 truth. Riolan, a Professor at the College t de France, was oitter in his opposition, and shut hi* eyes to the light that spreading o\mr tHo moduvtl world, just as men to-day are denying the truth of the discovery of Thomson, while others, forced to acknowl edge its truth, claimed it us an ancient opin ion, known even to Hippocrates. The envy of his brethren wa too much excited to ad cited U> admit his claims as a discoverer, and thus endeavored to diminish his praLe by the announcement of his plajiarisin. Just as to-day, when the most distinguished Phy siologists are embracing and endorsing the therey of Thomson, many claim the dis covery for themselves, while others resist its truth and denounce Thomson as its author— a species of Allopathic consistency that has lound many a similitude in the history of its antiquity, authority, practice and principles, to which I will in proper time invito your attention. Tho discovery of Harvey gave some life to Physiology but the demonstration he ].roved would only show tho reality of certain mi - ehanieal movement# and actions of tho blood, and loft unexplained tho vital force that maintained and earned this movement and action. Predicated upon this discovery, Physiology took up new vigor and labored to explain the philosophy oll|fe,phe hypoth. e*is of diction and the other great function al ideas of respiration and nutrition : that these great functions were controlled and sustained by vital agencies, was admitted from th® very outset of mod cine. No man had ever denied, in •owe shape or'other, no matter how vague or foolish his prescrip tions may be considered, that the functions of which he knew nothing were sustained by some vital agency ot which he had not the very slightest rational conception ; blind in Anatomy, he wn equally* blind in the laws of Physiology, and while time and experi ence brought forth new lights in Anao>y> that Hippocrates, the most eminent phy sician of antiquity, might have learned the distinction bet wet* n a nerve and muscle, front the veriest tyro ?n Medicine, of the present day, and studied its discoveries with interest and instruction. Still Physiology cr the laws of life necessary to be understood, in the cure of disease remained still as uncertain and as obscure to all the genius of antiquity, and all the experiments, all the labors, ail the investigations oi the most distinguished Allopathists from the days of Hippocrates until the days of Thomson, never learned and never saw the causes of vital force, nor understood its manifestations and phenome na until he proclaimed it to the world. This assertion may be startling to all, and iQ aOfttS awaken skepticism ; smiles may bo ’ revoked on the lips of some, doubt exist in the mind of others, but truth demands of me the vindication of his claims to the c udnci ee I have given him and it shall be my duty now to show that ho stands upon this discov ery, is entitled to its honors, and that no roan, living or dead, is entitled to stand there but himself. For this reason we have deemed him en titled io tU honor wa this night offer to his memory. If Ksculapius was worshipped by the nion of his day as the God of Medicine, and a temple was raised at Kpidaurus to his honor, and all his skill in curing diseases may bo il lustrated by the fact that he kept the honors and information of the profession to Ms fam ily “till Hippocrates, standing in his IBUI lineal descent, and who did not know the difference between a muscle and rein. How , much more entitled to honor is he, who, iu ‘ Philosophical and Physiological principle*, i has established a reputation that the most able and gifted men of this century have I recognized, to the praise and veneration of I his people. There is scarcely one in this audience whose health has not been benefit- ted or life saved, by the di-coverie* of the tuan whose iikei.es*> is this nfgbt prewnted to you. You may think that because you have not employed a Keform Practitioner my re marks do not apply to you. hut remember,, my friends, that the change in the applica tion of remedies he has forced upon the Al io pal hie proloesiuu, to maintaiu their, rapu tation and practice, ha% been the -moans ot saving you and many near and dear to you from ,tbe administration of Calomel and from the use of the lancet, two evils to society, pestilences in medical practice, that ought U meet with the unconditional and universal condemnation of intelligent men. §eethii lives that have been planted in the silent grave-yard, that might to-day, in. the provi and. nee of God, have been spans! to ble-s 1 manv an orphaned family, were it not tor tne 1 Vise* of Calomel and the .Lancet, if these! means of abating were so necessary before the days of Thomson, why is it that the Allopathic profession have so nearly a bandonej th< m? Someone may account for it on tbg theory that tne types of disease j have changed, but, “entlemen, you know in your own hearts your type of practice have j changed more than the type of disease. You know that men are reluctant to take doses of j calomel, some persistently refuse who patro nize you, to run the risk of losing teeth and ! shivering at every change of weather, al most becoming, to themselves and others, a barometer, whose joints ache on the approach of rain, and you are aware I feel satisfied that medicine, when most honored lbr its skid, when a scene of pestilence seemed to | threaten what Xerxes, with all his troops, failed to eti'eet. It was the use of Botanical remedies, “stimulants, emetics, tonios and warm baths” that liiado Hippocrates an an gel of mercy, to stay the plague, and while I laugh at the claims of antiquity as being en titled to give merit to men yet 1 admit your boast of being “time honored,’ - for HotUJlic medicine is older than yours. To be concluded. Higher. Higher! it is a word of noble meaning —the inspiration of all great deeds—the sympathetic chain that leads, link by link, the impassioned soul to its zenith of glory, and stiii holds its mysterious ob jeef standing and glittering among the stars.

A Giiost in the A&tor Lirkaky.—The Evening Post teils the following story of a ghost that appeared in the Astor Library. The Post professes to have the tale direct from Dr. Cogswell him self: • ’<■ Some two weeks ago Doctor Cogswell was at work as usual ou the catalogue of the Library. It was about eleven o clock at night, and having ocea>'oii to refer to some books m a distant part of the libra ry, lie left, hts desk, took his caudle, and, as he had often done before, pursued his course among the winding passages to- ward the desired spot. But before reach ing it, while in an alcove in the south west part of the older portion of the building, he was startled by seeir.g a mao, respectably dressed in citizen’s clothes, | survey ing a shelf of books. The doctor supposed it tube a robber i wh< had secreted himself for the purpose i of abstracting some of the valuable works j in the library ; after stepping back be- i hind a partition for a moment, he again moved cautiously forward, to catch a | glimpse of the individual’s face, when tu i his surprise he recognized in the suppos ed robber the features of a physician (whose name we forbear giving) who had lived in the immediate vicinity of the li brary, and who had died some six weeks ngo !* It should be borne in mind that this deceased person was a mere casual acquaintance of Dr. Cogswell* not au in timate friehd, and siuee Ins death Dr. Cogswell had not thought ot him. Buu the apparition wa- iu the presence of a man not, easily scared. The libra rian, so fai iioin fainting or shrieking, as might reasonably be expected, calmly addressed the ghost: Dr.- , ’said he, ‘’you seldom, if ever, visited this library while living.— Why do you trouble us now when dead T Perhaps the ghost did not like the sound of human voice; any way, it gave ■ no answer, but disappeared. The m-xt day Dr. Cogswell thought I over the matter, attributed it to some op 1 deal delusion, and in the evening pro ceeded w*th h:s work, as usual. Again, he wished to refer to some books, and 1 again visited the southwestern alcove. — I There, again, -as large as hie, was the ! ghost, very calmly and placidly survey -Img the shelves. Mr. Cogswell again spoke t© it. ! “Dr. said he, “again l ask | you v. hy you who never visited the li brary while living, trouble it now when !dead ’ ’ Again the ghost vanished, and the un daunted liUrariou pu**M**i wit-U ----\ltffr ifttwrrtk|rli<>tl* r l lie it *At lie CX ami tied the shelves before which the apparition had been standing, and by a singular coincidence found tint they were tided with books devoted to demonology, witchcraft, magic, spiritualism, .Vc, * * “ -1„ w.ts these volumes that ap peared to attract the apparition. The third night, Dr. Cugsweii again visited the various b-./uks w iiich he wished to ruler to, and occasion demanded, did not lh:l to approach the mysterious alcove.— There agaiii was the apparition dressed precisely as before, and with a hand raised, as il about to take down a book. Dr. Cogiswtll again spoke— “Dr —lie said boldly, “This is the third time ! have met you. Tell me if auy ol this class of books disturb you ? if they do, I will have, them removed.’’ But the uugraßfut ghost without ac knowledging this accommodating spirit on the. part of its interogatcr, disap peared. Aor has it been ?ern since, and the librarian has Continued his night ly researches without interruption. A few days ago, at a dinner party at the house cfa well-known wealthy gen tleman, Dr- Cogsw ell related the eircum- stances as above recorded, as nearly as wc ran learn. As some eight eon or ffWenfy people were present, the remark qltle stow of c tirse was soon spread 1 about. A number of literary men, in cluding an eminent iiintorn.u and others, ) ncard the reeit- and. and though they alt ri 1 hii’to i>:*"Ot gswt it ghost-.-suing to the l strain und tension of his nerves during his too protracted labors in thectiUih gue, i titty yet coulees that tho story has its re maikable phases. Acting on the advici | of siveral friei.Js, Mr. Cogswell is now ab-euL ou a short ti ip to Charleston, to recuperate his energies. • j A Turov ;i .Ticket. — There was a re j (jro.meetii g FqU at Petersburg.
