The same remark applies with much force to the present day; for many of our most practical legisla tors, and most influential countrymen, have been teachers. But there is a demand for a class of teachers of higher qualifications than any yet mentioned, fora class of lenchers who will devote their whole time and talents exclu sively to this one thing, and that for life. VVc have scattered over the slate a few teachers of the ubove description ; hut their number needs to bo much increased, and how to in crease it is tile diffieuliy. The following plan has bren suggested as practicable : I,cl there be huiiied in each county an education socie ty, 1 onsisling of as muny citizens of the coun ty, as can he induced to assoemto themselves ton el her; let tho solo object of each society, be in educate some ono or more pour buys of acknowledged talents, for tho express purpose ot leaching in tho county by which they arc educated ; let thorn, when thus educated, ho bound to touch a prescribed number of years upon « ondiltoti ol refunding lo their respective county societies, should they fail so lo do ; and lei iheru ho formed in Alliens a parent so cicty, for tho purpose of aiding tho county so- ctelies, and superintending tho beneficiaries when sent to College. The advantages resulting from such u plat would lie Humorous nnd important ; anion; them may be noticed tho following :—First tho young men selected by tho county socle tics having all along ns they advance in their education u fixed object in view, would lie come much moro critical scholars than mid utmost uny other circumstuneos. They would be continually reflecting that they would by and by, liavo to teach wlint they are nt present studying; this would call forth nil their exer tions ; they would never dismiss nny subject till they were conscious of having mustered it. Now this critical scholarship is a mallet of vast importance, for if our sons urn to lx -well taught, then instructors must he critical in too branches which they leach ; for how •can *• the blind load tho blind l” Secondly. Such teachers would enter upon their vocation with more zeu' nnd a stronger determination to excel, than under any other imaginable circumstance. Now all, who know any thing of real life, most ueknowlego that resolution, and zeal, and enthusiasm are the very soul of every business VA lien wo pot our children to school, wo should avoid as a punishment of our own citizens. Whatever may lie Mr. Gilmer’s opinion with regard to that class of persons (if there he any) who may have violated the art of the Inst Lir gislaturc, Inking effect on tho first day of Jan Inst, certain it is, that he conceives no citizen of t‘o Stale could in justice ho punished, c tlier directly or indirectly, for such a supposed offence, prinr to that period; because the 'pro per Judicial Tribunal of tho state, before whom offenders hud been arraigned, hud de lated no law existed by which a direct pun ishment could ho inflicted, either or> the resi dent or nnn-rosidpiit of tho Stale; consequent ly an inilirect punishment upon the citizens of tho .'tale alone, by the operations of an of its Legislature, while thousands of the citi zens of the adjoining stules, Imd equollv tres- assod upon the public property wi'h impunity, was considered by Mr. Gilmer to ho snliver. sive of every principle of justice. I again re peal, these were the well known opinions held by Mr. Gilmer upon ibis subject during its agitation before tlie legislature, and they are his opinions still, tho declarations of his enc tnics lo tho contrary notwithstanding, howcv er high tho source from whence they m ly spring; and how far tho opinions hero expro sed tally with those imputed to him nnd hand led to lii.s injury, particularly in this section of the country, I leave every individual to deter mine for himself. The writer of this article stand in her favor upon the disputed right of sovereignty and jurisdiction ? And w hnt ivould have been (hnug)it of the Governor *>f Geor gia, if lie bad encouraged the legislature in ih-ir injudicious propositions for the occu pancy of the country, under such circumstan ces. and contrary to the well known determin ation of the General Government, particularly when we are all satisfied that the feelings and wishes of the President nre with ns on this subject, and lii.s best exertions are in daily re quisition for the consummation of this very de licate and much desired object. I again ask all dispassionate and reflecting person-, nnd would push the question home to them, what more could, or would they have had Governor Gilmer to have done under such circumstan ces, than to have readily complied with tlie suggestions and solicitations of the President in restraining tho intemperate zeal of tho le gislature; which was evidently elicited by the iinrefloeting anxieties of tlm people on this most momentous subject. Pause but for a moment, fellow-citizens, and look nt tho con sequences which would inevitably have resul ted from a contrary course. Had the Lottery Hill as it is called, have passed the Legisla ture, and been approved hv the Governor, so as for its original object to have been effected, tho President of the U. S. must have done one of two things; either havo approved or dis approved of the course pursued by the State. If ho Imd approved of it, he must have lost tlm confidence attd support of all his friends, who had supported him in his views in carrying the I ndiati question through Congress, upon the pledge of our representation, that the state had no intention of occupying the country. On the other hand, had ho disapproved of the course, a direct collision must have taken place between the General nnd Stale Govern ments. For while on the one hand the Pre sident must have, felt it incumbent on him to huvo executed the laws of the U. S. in good faith, so far as they are consistent with her constitution and dignity, the Governor ol the State would, on tho other, have been equally hound to have supported the sove reignty of tho stu'o, by a prompt ami faithful execution of her latvs. This would have pro duced the first blow towards the consummation of an awful calamity.that I pray God maybe averted from our beloved country.aud in either event,tlie re-election of General Jackson to the noxt Presidency m ist have been jeopar dized. ft is altogether useless for designing indi viduals to attempt to cloak this matter, and f» fan the flame that unfortunately burns too free ly already m the anxieties of the pnoplo. for tho occupancy of tlio Cherokee country— 1 again repeat, that the President of the U. S. has determined that tho State rantiot go into possession of the country, until tlie Indian oc cupant title is extinguished, either by indivi of motley, as well as defined rules by which the policy oft Pr s !e"' alio-Id he carried into effect; and such arrangements were th. constitutional prerogatives of Congress alone. Therefore it mattered not, however just the claims of the State were, under the compact of 1802, it was impossible for her to obtain a full cernpletinn of her wishes on this subject, except by he concurrence of Congress in the policy recommended by the President, without hazarding tho most disastrous consequences, and forfeiting the friendship of the President, who now stnnds in that Government, the mer which ho never professed, and his best and nhlo-t efforts for liis country’s welfare, have been disingenuously distorted bv persons who knew better ; and for no other purposes than imposing upon tlie credulity of that por tion of the community, whose sources of in formation ere not such as to enable them to delect the base duplicity nf such conduct. Let a spirit or enquiry prevail among the people, and they will find that the re-election of Air. Gilmer will lie the surest method ..fob taining the speediest possession of the Chero kee country, upon such principles as would avowed friend and advocate of the interest ofjadvanco the dignity and prosperity of the the State on this subject. As has been before observed, obstacles growing out of n diversity of opinions as well as conflicting sectional interests, were arrayed in all their powerful nifluunces in Congress against ihe policy of the government ; and one of the most prominent nnd powerful objections urged, was the determination of Georgia to drive tho Indians from the country, by her le gislation or otherwise. This objection had lo be met, for upon it depended entirely the suc cess of the arrangements necessary to carry the President’s policy into efl’ect, or their total defeat. It was at this auspicious moment, and under those pressing circumstances, that as surances wero given by our Representatives in Congress, and upproved nt by our talented and patriotic Governor, that it was not the intention of Georgia to go into possession nf tlie Chero kee country; and those protestations were re ceived by Congress, as a part of tho declared policy of the President, and secured the pas sage of the Indian bill, from which the state is likely to derive so much benefit. Here then was ail absolute necessity for 0 friendly un derstanding, and co-operation between the two Governments, who were equally interes ted in tho accomplishment of (he same object, and for tho good faith of which tho representa tives of the people stood pledged. Would you then have had tho Governor of Georgia, to enenurago tho representatives of the same people in another department of Government, to liavo violated that pledge 1 Or rather would not every drop of patriotic blood that rushes through your hearts, arouse you to tho support of the mao who hud virtue and independence enough to grasp the constitutional wand, and A CITIZEN OF HALL COUNTY. has not adopted the Yankee mode of guessin, which is sometimes practised for political pur- dual contract, or general cession of the conn- poses, hut has takou tho trouble to obtain in- try; and Ims advised Ihe authorities of Geor gia in the most mild, polite, and respectful lo lor- not the unchisjons I have hero drawn then, orlhod >x formation on this subject from nil unerrin source-, he therefore confidently presents the I manner, urging them at the same tim result of liis enquiries to tho people, knowing hear from any attempt to do so.

Another objection urged against Mr. Gil-1 mid irresistible? fner. is his opposition to tho immedialo oceu- It was under these circumstances, nnd irt- puney ol the Cherokee rountry.

It will theiefore at onco lie perceived, that as another Legisla ture most intervene hoforn that law can linvo anv operniivn influence, it is in effect dead; and tho Governor will have it in his power to call the attention of the next Legislature to a particular notice of its o ijeclionable features, which will bo unquestionably done. I have here shown I ilu»l> .„i,..i would have been lost by tho want of u good understanding between the Governor of the State and the President of the U. Stales, re lative lo our Indian affairs. I will now pro ceed to show wli.it honeliis have resulted from that good understanding. General Jackson is tlie first President tlm has ever exhibited an earnest desire to accord to Georgia her full rights ami privileges on the long agitated subject of the rrmovnl of tho In dians. Yet in tho execution of his desires he found insuperable objections springing up in every section of the country. Those objec tions had to lie met in a mild and romprotnis ing spirit, or the cause of the Indians would havo been embraced hy u large majority m Congress. Therefore, while the President readily accorded to tlio elate all her positive, constitutional rights, he was necessarily coin pelted to consult the feelings and opinions of other sections of tho country, in tho support of a liberal policy recommended by him to Con gross on the subject. It will at once be seen, that after the President had yielded to the State all the constitutional rights embraced in her claims of sovereignty and jurisdiction, that he could go no further in extending his liberal policy, without the aid and concurrence ot Congress. For the consummation of tin., desirable object, required large appropriations lie himself should fall a victim lo its popular fury ? Follow cit zons, reflect, I beseech you 10 reflect seriously on this subject! it is oin- of deep, of vital importance to vou, nnd surely you cannot longer advocate a course that would linve comprninittcd tho peace, dignity, and in tegrity of your state. But is tins the only benefit that lias resulted from tlie good understanding which exists be tween the Executives of the two Govern ments ! Let us se>- if recent circumstances do tint afford an answer to this question in the oeg.itive. The plan of the emigration of the Indians by individual contract, und valuation of their improvements, had been offered lo the Oherokeos by the President, in ai-ciirduiicc with o power vested in him by (’engross to do so. A good proportion of them accepted the proposition, und left the country for tho Arkan sas. This experiment, however, developed (Ins important fact to tin President, tlmt Con gress in adopting (lint measure, wero not alto- gciiier apprised of tlie largo amount of money it would take to accomplish it und adequate appropriations had 1101 been made for its full and eomplule success. Under those circum stances tho President was of the opinion, that it would bo more to the interest nf the Govern ment, to remove the Indians cn masse, and tlml the extension of thu laws of the state over them, connected with other causes, would speedily bring them to that conclusion ; and tlmt tho emigrating plan removed all ttiosn who wore fuvorublo to tho vtows of the go vernment, destroying thereby tlio influence which tlioy would have had on the subject of removal, with (huso who were left behind. Under those convirtions the President thought propor to close tho office of enrolment, and resort to moro direct efforts, for a treaty. Those efforts Imvo so far failed, during which time the Governor has been assiduous m his exertions to obluin a correct knowledge of the feelings and opinions of all classes of tho Cherokees upon tins subject. The result of those enquiries was tho convictiun. that while a treaty was promptly objected to hy all clas ses, yet there was found a largo proportion anxious to embrace tho original offer of the government, and secure their interest by indi vidual contruct. This information was laid before the President, with un urgent request tliut the office of enrolment should uguin lie opened, and those suffered lo depart, who uwra untuulM to itllin. lo n.mploln -nitlnrmi ty with that good understanding and high con fidence, which has always existed between tno President and Mr. Gilmer, all considera tions wero immediately waived, which bad in duced tho President to close Ihe office of eu- rolmant, and tun interests and wishes of Geor gia us expressed through her Governor, promptly attended to, by un immediate order for the rc-opemng ol that office What moro can be wanting lo convinco the people of tho unremitting exertions of Air. Gilmer to advance the best interests of the state ? and who among us is better qualified to do so, whero that interest is dependant up on tbe co-operulion of the President of the U. States! 1 answer none! and the proof here exhibited ol (lie good feeling aud confidence that exists between those distinguished gentle men, willfully bear me out in this answer, OHIO REFORMED M K I) IC A L COLLE ii K. rjlUK public are respectfully informed that an i tution in established, and in successful operation in the city of Mew York, denominated “ The R- Ihnn- ed Medical College;”under the jurisdiction of th*- re formed medical society of the United States—that thto institution has arisen from its own intrinsic merits, notwithstanding tho opposition of illiberal and mteres*- ted physicians, to an eminence which has exceeded the most sanguine expectations ot its friends. Animated by the nourishing state of this College,and feeling an ardent desire still further lo disseminate the valuable system of practice therein taught, a second school of the same character w r as established in De* comber, 1830, In t’ c town of Worthington, denomina ted “ The Ohio Reformed Medical College.” This Col lege was chartered by the state as a literary institution; nnd, subsequently, the hoard of Trustees adopted the above, as the medical branch of their institution, where, all the vurious branches of the healing art are taught on the reformed’system. A number of young gentlemen have here commenced their studies, and numerous others have applied for admission. Its locality presents tho greatest advantages to facilitate researches in medical botany; the surrounding country abounding with a great variety of medicinal plants and vegetable pro ductions. It is situated near the centre of the state, on the Whetstone river, nine miles north of Columbus, on tlio northern turnpike, and is one of the most health;- nnd delightful villages in the w estern country. The ground attached to the college, contains every variety oi soil for a botanical garden. The necessity for an institu tion of this kind, under the direction of competent pro fessors, must he strikingly evident to all who have re flected on the subject of medical reform. Here n >ys- tem of practice is taught, altogether superior to that taught in other schools, or pursued hy other physicians; the remedial ngonte being derived from the vegetable kingdom. for eiucnta by one bold effort, save his country, although ^ m „ st dii ,i nRll i s |,a refinmere of tho prem-nt or The cflicacv of this practice has been proved, rtore than half a century, combining the improveim any other age. Its superiority has been so repeatedly demonstrated, as to satisfy the most wavering und sceptical. It has been tested in every varie? v and form of disease; and its salutary effect.- witnessed where the mercurial or mineral treatment has been pursued with out any ben-fleiol effect, but to tbe great injury of the constitution. The benefits to he derived by an attendance ot this institution will, we trust, he truly appreciated by those who wish to acquire a correct knowledge of the heal ing art. Here the student will be taught all the mo dern practice which is deemed necessary, in addition to the botanical; nnd in consequence of his residing nsar the institution and pursuing a systematic cmirso of studies, combining each of the departments of me dicine, he may acquire a knowledge of both in a short space of time, and at a very small expense in comparison to that of other medical institutions. The regular fall aud winter course of lectures in this institution, will commence on the first Monday in Oc tober, and continue six months or longer, during which time a full course of lectures on ull the different depart ments of medtcnl science will be delivered, with daily examinations, &c. 1st, on \natomy nnd Physiology; 2d, Materia Medica and Pharmacy; 3d, Theory and practice of Pli>sic and Surgery; 4th, Midwifery; 5th, Chemistry; fitli, Theoretical and Practical Botany; 7» , Medical Jurisprudence, &c. &c.
