BEN SON, late of New York, have formed a copart nership, and propose to institute a School on the follow ing principles: I. Lectures will be delivered on Anatomy,Surgery, and Diseases of die Chest, by Dr. Benson. 2. On Theoty and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Materia Medico, by Dr. Boon. 3. Examinations on Chemistry and Toxicology, by Dr. Boon, 4 Examinations on Physiology and Medical Juris prudence, and Clinical instruction on Percussion and Auscultation, by Dr. Benson. 5. Examinations on the subjects lectured upon and the collateral branches necessary to a thorough Medical Education—by Drs. Boon and Benson. 6. There will be two sessions of four months each.— The first will commence ou the first ol October next, the second on the first of March; The remaining four months may lie spent in general feeding. I In announci g the establishment ol’this Institution, ! the founders feel proudly confident of ultimate success. 1 The ordinary course of preparatory study is merely j nominal. Gentlemen enter the office* of a practitioner i tor three years—they perhaps read, but generally do not study. They design to graduate at a College or Uni -1 versity, and imagine that there the consummation of ; their wishes will be achieved: but when they arrive, i find that they must cither hu'ld a superstnicture with out a base, or listen to lectures which they do not com- j | prehend. Professors presuppose an amount of knowl j edge which is not theirs—they ar; consequently com pelled to return to the rudiments, and thus much valu i able time is lost. This Institution is tounued with a I de.-ire to remove this difficulty, without any increase ot | expense. Dr. Benson has been for some time ass'oeia ; ted with Dr. Detnxdd, of New York, in a school such las that now proposed to be established; and from his intimate acquaintance with the matter taught, and manner of teaching in Northern Colleges, he ieels jus tified in stating, that notwithstanding the high order of talent found therein, yet, lor the reasons before indica ted, students learn infinitely more at private schools than in those institutions. For further information rel ative to his mode of instruction, Dr. Benson refers to the following Practitioners in Georgia: G. T. Rees, Robert C Word,Charles W. Davenport, WadeC.Cox, VV. H. Moultrie, James L. Grant, Peter A. White, John T. Hawkins, John L. Gresham, A. W. Williams, Benj. J. Baldwin,Franklin Milner, W. S. Lawton, ftke. Dr. Boon having practiced his profession in Georgia upwards of twenty years, is accurately acquainted with the diseases incident to a Sot it hern climate, and his in struction will be given with particular reference to those diseases.

You ask me whether 1 am in favor of the acquisi tion of Mexican territory, and what are my senti ments with regard to the Wilmot Proviso ? I have so oltenandso explicitly stated rujr views of the first question in the Senate, that it seems almost unnecessary to repeat them here. As you request it, j however, 1 shall briefly give them. I 1 think, then, that no peace should be granted to j Mexico till a reasonable indeinnitCis obtained for the I injuries she has done us. The territorial extent of this ; indemnity is, in the first instance, a subject of Exeeu- I five consideration. There the constitution has pla ced it,and there lam willing to leave it; not only be i cause I have full confidence in its judicious exercise, ! but because,in the ever-varying circumstances of a i war, it would be indiscreet, by a public declaration, to commit riie country toany line ot indemnity, which i might otherwise be enlarged, as the obstinate injustice otthe enemy prolongs the contest, with its loss of blood mid treasure. It appears to me that the kind of metaphysical mag nanimity which would reject all the in .emnuy at the ’ cios ‘of the bloody and expensive war, brought on by a direct attack upon our troops by the enemy,and preceed -1 ed hy a succession 01 unjust acts tor a series ot years, : is as unworthy of the age in which we live as it iste- I volting to the common sense and practi< eof mankind, j It would conduce but little to our future security, or, indeed, to our present reputation, to declare that we repudiate all expectations ot compensa tion from the Mexican government, and arc fighting not lor any practical result but tor some vague, perhaps philanthropic object which escapes my penetration, and must be defined by those who assume “this new principle of national, intercommunication. All Wars areto In* dep recated,its well hy (lie statesman as by tlu* phtlanhropht. they, are great evils but there arc greater evils than these—and submission to injustice is among them.— The nation which should refuse to defend its ntriiir, and its honor, when assailed, would soon have neither to de i.etid and when driven to warit is not by professions ot dis til terestedness and declarations of magnanimity that its rational objects can be best obtained, or other nations taugh t a lesson ot forbearance —the strongest security for pitrmanent peace. We are at war vwth Mexico, and its'vigorous prosecution is the surest means of its speeoy termination, and ample indemnity the surest guarra.itee against recurrence of such injustice as provokt-d it. The V’- ilmot proviso has been before the country some time. lr lias been repeatedly discussed iu Con gress, and by the public press. lam strongly impiea sed with the* opinion that a great change has been going on in the public mind upon this subject—in my own as well as others*; and that doubts are resolving tiiem selves into convictions, that the principle it involves should be kept out ot the National Legislature, and leit to the people of the confederacy in thetr respective lo cal governments. Thewhol’* subject isa comprehensive one, and fruit - fil ot important consequences. It would be ill-timed to discuss it here. 1 shall not assume that responsible task,but sti&li confine myself to such general views as are necessury to the fair exhibition of my opinions. We may well regret the existence of slavery in the Southern States,and wish they had been suv> djram its introduction.. But there it is and not by the act of the present generation ; and e must deal with it as a great practical question, involving the most momentous consequences We have neither the right nor the pow l er to touch it where it exists ; and if we had bot , their exercise by any means heretofore suggested, might lead to results which no wise man would Willingly encounter, and which no good man could contemplate without anxiety. The theory of our Government pre-supposrs that its various members have reserved to themselves the reg ulation ofall subjects relating to what may be termed their internal police. They are sovereign within their boundaries, except in those cases where they have surrendered to the Government a portion of their rights in order to give effect to the objects ot the Union, whether these concern foreign nations or the several States themselves. Local institutions, if 1 may so speak whether they have reference to slavery, or toany other relations domestic or public, are left to local authority, either original or derivative. Congress has no right to 9 iy that there shall be slavery in New York, or that there shall be no slavery in Georgia ; nor is there any other human power but the people of those States, respec tively, which can change the relation existing therein ; and they can say, if they w ill, we will have slavery in the former, and we will abobsh it in the latter. In various respects the Territories differ from the States. Some of their rights are inchoate, and thev do not possess the peculiar attributes of sovereignty Their relat on to the General Government is very im perfectly defined by the constitution; and it wiil be found upon examination, that in that instrument the only grant of power concerning them is conveyed in the phrase, “ Congress shall have the power to dispose of and make all needful regulations respecting the territo ry and other property belonging to the United States” Certainly this phraseology is very loose, it it were de signed to include in the grant the whole power ot leg islation over persons as well as things. The expres sion, the “ territory and other propefty,” fairly constru ed, relates to the public lands, as such, to arsenals, dock yards. forts, ships, and all the various kinds of proper ty which the United .States may and must possess. But surely the simple authority to dispose of andreg ulate these does not extend to the unlimited p.wer of legislation ; to the passage of all laws, in the most general acceptation of the word ; which by the by, is carefully excluded from the sentence. And, indeed, if this were so, it would render unnecessary another re vision of the Constitution, which grants to Congress the power to legislate, with the consent of the States, res pectively, over all places purchased for the “erection of forts,magazines,arsenals, dock-yards, &c.” These be ing tlu- “ property” ot the United States, if the power to make “needful rules and regulations concerning” them includes the general power of legislation, then tHe grant of nu’lmrity to regulate “the territory and other property of the United States” : s unlimited, wherever subjects are found for its operation, audits exercise needed no auxiliary provision. Jf.on theotlierhand.it does not include such power of legislation over the “oth er property of the United States, then it does not include it over their “ territory for the same terms which grant the one, grant the otltcr. “Territory” is here classed with property, and treated as such ;and the object was evidently toenablethe General Govern ment ns a property holder—which, from necessitv.it must be—to manage, preserve, and “ dispose of” shell property as it might possess, and which authority is es sential alinostto its being But the lives and persons, of our citizens, with the vast variety of objects eon-’ nected with them, cannot be controlled by an authori ty, which is merely called into existence tor the purpos * ot making rules ami regulations for the disposition nn l management of property. Such.it appears to me, would be the construction put upon this provision of the constitution, were this question now first presented for consideration, and not controlled bv imperious circumstances. The original ordinance of the Congress of the Confederation, passed 1111787, and which was the only act upon this sub ect in force at the adoption of the constitution, provided : a complete frame ofgovernment for the country north olihe Ohio, while in a territorial condition, and for its * eventual admission iu separate States into the Union.— ‘ And the persuasion that tins ordinance contained with in itself all the necessary means of execution prob ably prevented any direct reference to the subject m the , constitution, further than vesting in Congress the right toadmit the Sates formed under it into the Union. ! However, circumstances arose which required legis lation as well over the territory north ol the Ohionsov- er other territory, Loth within and without the original l nion, ceded to the General Government; and at va rious times a more enlarged power has been exercised over the territories—meaning thereby the different ter ritorial governments—than is conveyed by the limited grant referred to. llovv tar an existing necessity may have operated in producing this legislation, and thus extending, by n rather violent implication, powers not directly given, I know not. But certain it is that the principle of interference should not be carried beyond the necessary implication which produces it. It should be limited to the creation of proper governments for new countries acquired or settled, and. to the neces sary provision for their eventual admission into the l. nion, leaving in the mean time to the people inhabit ing them to regulate their internal concerns in their own way. They are j ust as capable of doing so as the people of the States, and they can do so at any rate as soon as their political independence is recognized by tidmission into the Lnion. During this temporary condition, it is hardly expedient recall into exercise a doubtful and invidious authority which questions the in t liigenceo {a respectable portion of our citizens, and whose limitation, whatever it innv be, will be rapuiiy approaching us termination—an authority which would give to C< tgress despotic power, uncontrolled by the constitution, over most important sections of our com mon country. hor if the relation ot master and servant j may be regulated or annihilated by ns legislation, so I may the relation ot husband and wife, of parent and ! chffl, and of any other condition which our institutions i and the habits of our society recognize. What would be thought if Congress should undertake to prescribe the terms of marriage in N. York or re regulate the authority of parents over their children in Pennsylva nia !. And yet it would be as vain to seek one justity mg the interference of the National Legislature in the cases referred to in the original States ot the Union. Cf” I speak here ol the inherent power of Congress, and do not touch the question of suen contracts as may be formed with new States when admitted into the Con federacy. Dt alt the questions that agitate us, those which are merely sectional in their character are the most dange rous and the most to be deprecated. The warning voice of him who, from his character, and services, and virtue, had the best t ight to warn us, proclaimed to hie countrymen in his lareweil address—that luouuLueM of wisdom for hint, as I hope it wall lie of safely for them j —* low much we had to apprehend from nteasurespecu uarly affecting geographical portions of our coohfiy.’ • 1 he grave circumstances in which we are now placed make these words w'ords of safety ; for I am satisfied from all 1 have seen and heard here, that a succe -ful attempt re ingraft t lie principles of the Wflmot proviso VOL. XXVJ —i\o 31. upon the legislation <1 this government, and to appiv . them to new territory should new territorv he acquired. woaW sefioßßjf nth-ct our tranquillity. tdo not wrier myself to lores**? or to foretell the rotißeqn -nc"3 that would ensue, for I trust ttnd believe there is good sense and good feeling enough in the country to avoid them by avoiding all occasions which might lead to them. Briefly, then, / mu apposed to the exercise of any jurisdiction Sy Congress over this mother; and I am j injaror of Icatiug to t c people of any territory which maybe hereof ter acquired the right to regulate it for I tkemseires under the general jthnriplessf the consti tution : because 1. Ido not see in tlie constitution any gi ant of the re quisite power to Congress, and I am not disposed to ex tend a doubtful precedent beyond its necessity—the es j tabiishment ol territorial governments when needed— j leaving to the inhabitants all the rights compatible with j the relations they bear to tit Confederation. 2. Because l believe this measure if adopted would j weaken if not impair the Union ot these States, and j would sow tts* seeds of future discord, which would j grow up and ripen into an abundant harvest of calam ity. 3. Because I believe a genera! conviction that.such a proposition would succeed would lead to an immediate withholding of the supplies, and thu: to a Ji-tionoia bie termination of th* \v >r. I think no dispassionate observer at the seat ol Government can doubt this Je suit. U If, however, in this I am under a misappreuen doo, I am under none in the practical operation ol this restriction, it adopted by Congress upoit a treaty ol peace making any acquisition ol ‘.lexicon territory.— rhich a treaty would be r**jeci.*d ju-t as certainly as pre sented to tie Senate. More than one third of that bo dy would vote against it, viewing such a principle os an exclusion ol the citizens ot tne slavchokiiug States from a paricipaifon in the benefits nentrir-d by thetrea ure and exertions of all and whicii should be common ;o all. / am repealing—neither advancing nor defend ing these views. That branch ot tlte subj *c docs not ie in tny way, and i shall not turn aside to seek it. , la this aspect of the math r, the people of the United States must choose between this restriction and the ex tension ot their territorial limits. They cannot have ■oth; and whieh they surrender must depend upon .heir Representatives first, and then, if these fail them, ( ipun themselves. 5 Hut alter all, it seems to be generally conceded, j <hat this restriction, it carried into effect, could notop , ertite upon any State to be formed from itewiy acqnt i red territory. The well known attributes of’ sovereign - i tv, recognized by us as belonging to tire State Govem , inents would sweep So; , •>• sic i barrier, and ; would leave the peope .o e.-po.:c and vX'.ii tavuw.il at pleasure. Is the object, tiien, ol temporary exeln . sion for so short a period at the duration ot the Terri ! torial( ■overmuents, worth ‘lie price at which it would , l*e purchased l —worth the discord it would engender, the trial to winch it would ex;>ose our Union, and the evils that would be the certain consequence, let ihat tri al result as it might : As to ttie course, which iras been I intimated rather than proposed, ot ingrafting such a I restriction upon any treaty ot acquisition, f )ietsuade ny-elt it would lind but litiie tuvor in any portion of , this country. Buch an airanggnent would render Mexico a party, having a right to interfere in our inter nal institutions in questions left by the constitution to ite Mite Govtin i.ei.ts, and would inflict a serious alow upon our iunJamenial ptinciples. Few, indeed, ( trust, there are among u- who would thus grant to a foreign power the righ* to inquire uuo the constitution *nd conduct of the sovereign Stales of this Union ; and and there ate any 1 am not mil l g them, attd never shall be.

The rejection of this restric tion will not add one to the class of servitude, nor wilf its adoption give .reedoin to a single being who is now placed therein, ‘i he same numbers will be spread ov ■r greater territory; and so lar ns compression, with teas abundance ol the necessati-s et life, is tin evil eo .ar will that evil fa* mitigated by transporting slaves to 1 1 new country, and giving them a larger .-puce to oc cupy. . 1 say this in the event of the extension ol slavery over ’ any new acquisition. But can it go there : This may well be doubled. All the d->er puons which reach us al the condition of the Uuhtornibs and oi M. w Mexico, to the acquisition of wh en oar es orts seem at p.esent lirected, unite in representing those countries as ag ricuititr.il regions,similar in tiieir products to our mid dle States, and generally n:;fit for the production ot the great s'nples which can alone render slave ialior va ua : ale. It we are not grossly deceived—and it :s and fficult ; to conceive how we can is- —the inhabitants ol those regions, whether they depend upontlieir piougitsor their herds, cannot be slaveholders. Involuntary labor, re quiring the investment ot large capital, can only be irofitable when employed up .lie production ol a lew favored articles confined by nature to special districts, ] and paying larger returns than th; usual agricultural | products spread over more considerable portions of ‘be •arth. j I tithe able lettfrof Mr. Buchanan upon the subject, I not long since given to the public, ite presents similar I considerations with gr-at foice. “Neither,** says this distinguished writer,“ the soil, the climate nor ibe pro ductions ot California south ol H6-’ 3t> not indeed of any portion ot it, north or south, isadapiedto slave labor; ; and besides, every facility wouki beJhere afford’d tor tlte slave to escape from his master.
