WORTHINGTON.
BY, and with the consent of tho Reformed
Medical Society, of the United States, the
Betv Reformed Medical Institution has been lo
cated in Worthington, an interesting and flour
ishing town on the Whetstone River, 8 miles
north of Columbus, on the Northern Turnpike
This cite has been chosen because it presents the
greatest advantages to facilitate the researches
of the Botanical s udent; the country around it a
twunding with every variety of medical plants ;
end the situation being the most healthy g de
lightful in lhe Western country—and because
the occupancy of the large College Edifice, to
gether with ground ofevery variety of soil for an
extensive botantual gurden, has been presented
tons by the board of trustees of Worthincton
College.
There will be attached to the institution, a
Dispensary for analyzing and preparing Verita
ble .Medicines; and an Infirmary, where persons
from tho neighbourhood, or a distance la
boring under fevers, consumpsinns, dispepsia,
liver complaints, gravel, ulcers, fistulas, cancers,
&c. will be successfully treated, without
bleeding, mercury or the knife, and from which
the student will acqnirc a correct knowledge of
the nature, operation and superior efficacy of ve
getable agents in removing disease.
The necessity for an institution of this kind in
the west, to be under the direction of compolont
Professors is strikingly evident. It is institu
tion that is designe . to concentrate, At dissem
inate all the knowledge of Doctors of Medicine
and empyriea, sages and savages ; and that will
demonstrate to tho atudent and tho sick that ve
getables alone afford the only rational, safe at.d
impairing the constitution, or endangering life
or limb. The present system of practice which
treats diseases of every form with metalic min
erals, the lancet or knife is dangerous inefficient
the lamentable facts which every day presents
too fully illustrate. Nor is this truth more clearly
exhibited than the fact that vegitable substances
plonc. are void of danger, aud powerfully effi
cient when administered; a reference to the suc
cess of our New-York Infinn.-iry, and the success
of ignorant botanical pbiysicians, proves this
fact
The College ard Infirmary will be opened the
first week in December, where students from all
parts may enter and complete their Medical Ed
ucation, i& whore persons laboring under every
Apocic* or disease shall receive prompt & faith
ful attention.
Tho course of study to be pursued, and which
will he taught according to the OLD and RE
FORMED systems bv Lectures, Recitations,
Hzaminations and suitable text books, is, Ist A
natomy and Phisiology. ‘2d. Old and Reformed
Surgery. 3d. Theory & Practice of Medicine.

By attending this Institution, the student will
Acquire a correct knoweledge of present prac
tice of physicians— a knowledge of the use and
Abuse of minerals, the Lancet, Obstericnl For
ceps and tho knife, and a knowledge of the new
and improved system, that supercedes their use,
With tenfold more safety and succsss. There

RECOMMENDATORY NOTICES.
The Lady’s have receiv
ed the August number of this new and attractive
periodical; and if we vre to judge from the num
ber before us, it seems justly lo challenge the
patronage of those who enjoy light reading of
the more refined description. Many of the nar
ratives are of a most romantic and interesting
character, and cannot fail to fix the attention of
the fair reader, who may follow the heroine in
the “trials of the heart,” or pursue the devoted
lover through the proofs of his love and heroism,
without becoming languid over the long protec
tive catastrophe, or the successive appearance
and removal of scruples, delicacies, and difficul
ties. The interest of this periodical is much in
creased bv dissertations of the female art of
horsemanship, needle work, and dancing, and on
these subjects the young lad.v may derive many
useful hint* lo advance her towards gracefulness
and proficiency.
As an additional attraction to this periodical
Mrs. Homans will probably become a regular
contributor to its poetical department. The
August number contains the first appearance of
a very pathetic poem from her pen, in which the
bold scenery of Sonth America and Cordilleras
are combined in description with the feelings of
an European traveller, on viewiug that singular
constcllat ion, known as the “Cross of the South”
peculiar only to the southern hemisphare. This
poem combines in a short compass, a still display
of that pathos and touching delicacy of expres
sion. for which this highly gifted poetess has
been so justly distinguished Another original
poetic article “The Military Tunerat,” is very
•mperior in style and poetic merit to tho common
race of fugitive productions With the aid of
such talent, tho poetic department of the La
dy’s Book, with the continuance of the taste dis
played in its selected poetry, may confidently
compete for the prize of public favour, with any
of its cotemporaries
The price of this periodical as will be seon on
reference to its prospectus, is three dollars year
Iy,or at the rate of twouty five cents each num
ber. For thissinall sum the subscriber is remu
nerated with a quantum of reading matter ex
ceeding that to be ffiund in any volume of the
novels of the day—usually selling at one dollar
per volume.— intelligencer, Flemings burg, liij

THE LOCK OF HAIR.
This lock of hair I've kept for years.
Yet saddened whilst I view it now!
Though dimmed its hue with frequent tears.
It once adorned an angel's brow!
’Tts tho sole relic Time has left,
Os loveliness surpassing rare,
And though other and joy bereft,
Still do I prize this lock of hair!
Alt! little deomed her gentle heart,
VV hen she in tenderness once gave
This clust’ring curl, 'twould have the art
To soothe, and she—cold in her grave!
When Inst we met, with ardent zeal
I praised its richness, waving fair
Around her brow, and bade her seal
Her truth with this soft lock of Hair!
Can 1 forget the pensive e ile,
From those soft eyes of azure hue,
'i hat look of love devoid of guile
That pledged the <rift, with faith so true!
Oh! could I then have raised life’s veil,
What would have been my soul's deipaii.
If I had rend the mournful tale
Os this soft Lock of golden !lah!
Enough'—we partsd; never more
On this wide earth to meet again;
But yet her cherished gift I wore,
Through everv peril, everv pain;
And in inisfurtune’sdarkost hour,
When almost tempted to despair,
1 always felt a soothing power,
In gazing on this Lock of Hail!
But her!—they told her I was lost, (
IT,id perish’d on tho ba'tle plain;
’Tiscver thus true love is crosed.
By tales a3 false, as full of pain!
Thev could not sav, I was untrue,
For Words like those they did not darO
To breathe to her—for well she know,
I wore the Lock of golden Hair!
I came at last, but all was o'er!
She, whom I left in beauty’s bloom,
Had died for me! I asked no more,
But hastened to her sillcnt tomb!
I could nut sigh, I could not pi ay!
Mv every hope was buried there;
With broken heart I turned away.
And bathed with tears, this Lock of Hair!
POLITI CAL.
The Supreme Court has just decided
tlic case of “tho Cherokee Nation” a
guinst the State of Georgia. I heard all
the opinions read, and had a glance at
that of the Chief Justice in manuscript.
1 believe 1 understand and remember
the principles on which the case was de
cided.
The Chcrokc6s, claiming to be n for
eign State, filed the bill in the Supreme
Court, setting forth numerous grounds
of complaint, against the State of Geor
gia, and praying other things, that this
State, her Governor, other officers, and
all her citizens, should be perpetually en
joined from interfering, in any manner,
with the lands within the CherokeO boun
dary; that the Cherokee nation should he
declared a sovereign and independent
State; That the laws of Georgia, claim
ing the exercise cf jurisdiction over them
he declared null and void, and that the
treaties with them should be carried into
full force against the claims of Georgia.
The Chief Justice, in a concise, hut a
ble opinion, declared it to be the judgment
of a majority of the Court that the judgment
should be refused and the bill dismissed.
He admitted the Cherokee tribe of In
dians to be a State having peculiar rela
tions with the United States, but of what
particular description, he did not define.
He contended that this Indian tribe was
not a foreign State or Nation, within the
meaning of the Constitution, and there
fore the Court could not entertain original
jurisdiction of the cause. His resoning
on this point I thought entirely conclusive.
He insisted also that the matters of com
plaint set forth in the bill, were wholly of
a political character, and therefore not
proper subjects for Judicial cognizance.
On this ground, too, it was decided the
Court had no jurisdiction. This last prin
ciple senilis to preclude every inference
attempted to he drawn from other parts
of the opinion, that the Court intimated
that some other course, sustaining the In
dians in their pretensions, could lie taken
before the other Judicial tribunals, hav
ing original jurisdiction. Nor did I hear
any thing by either of the Judges from
which it could be justly inferred that; in
their opinion, there was any mode by
which the rights of these Indians, as indi
viduals, to the lands claimed by them,
could be brought before the Supreme
Court for adjudication.
Judge Baldwin delivered a learned and
very able opinion in which he denied that
the Court had jurisdiction on any of the
grounds set up. He contended that tlic
Cherokee nation was not a foreign state;
that it was not a State; and that it had no
political existence whatever. He traced
the history of Indian affairs in this coun
try from etirlv times, showing in a lucid
munner, that by no act of any of these
State?, or of the old Congress, or of the
Government of the United States, under
the present Constitution, had any Indian
tribe been recognized as an independent
state; that their right to the country occu
pied by them was a mere righto/aceupan
cy; and in fine the whole of his arguments
mid authorities went to justify the course
pursued by the President nt relation to
these Indians, and to support entirely the
State ot Georgia in her claim of jurisdic
tion over them.
Judge Johnson then gave an opinion,
with his usual ability, force and perspicui
ty, shewiug again his great good sense
and prudence (from ickich he very seldom
departs) in all matters touching the rights
nt the States and the powers of the Gen
eral Government. Agreeing with the
majority ot the Court in their judgment
pronounced, he gave his own reasons
which diflered in some respects from those
given by the Chief Justice mid by Judge
Baidu in. He went farther than the for
mer, hut not quite so far as the latter,
lie denied that the Clieroko® nation was
a foreign State. He acknowledged that
the Indian tribes bad some political exis
tence, hut contended that they were not
States, and until die government recogni
zed them as independent States it was not
in the power of the court so to recognize
them. He argued that they never had
been thus recognized; and he contended
that if the Cherokee nation was a foreign
State, and this character alone could give
them a right to sue in that Court,
then most surely the court had no
jurisdiction over matters transpiring and
existing entirely within the limits of such
foreign State. This argument was con
sidered happy, forcible, and indeed unan
swerable.
Judge Mcljcan agreed in dismissing
the hill, hut gave no written opinion.
Judges Story and Thompson were not
present, hut it is said they dissented on
every point. Judge Duvall was absent
during the whole trial.
Thus Ims blown over a tremendous
storin, attempted to be got up for political
purposes, without the slightest injury be
ing done to the administration, or any of
i its triends. The whirlwind rushes on
those who raised it. If the Indians had
been sustained by the Court, the decision
would have been proclaimed as a com
plete overthrow of the present Adminis
tration. The Court has decided in favor
of the views of the Executive, and the ef
fect must be as beneficial now, as it would
June been adverse to the President, had
a contrary decision been given.
This Indian excitement has he.etL.SUQ-:
Die Vivo’ last sessions. It was a main re
liance for the opposition. And within u
few days of the close of the late session,
when business pressed on Congress from
every quarter, a debate on this question,
of great length, was indulged in, for fear
it would cease—that the fever would sub
side.
The kind feelings and sympathies of
the people* in l'avor of the Indians—of
those, too, who knew but little of Indian
character or temper, were relied on to de
stroy the President and every member of
Congress who voted for the Indian bill.
At last their designs have been wholly
frustrated by a decision of the Supreme
Court, that tribunal on which the opposi
tion rely for the maintenance of their
federal principles. A war of extermina
tion was to be waged by the Union, against
the State of Georgia, to protect some ideal
notions of Indian sovereignty; and the '
President was to be forced into these
measures by the Supreme Court and the
excitement produced in the public mind. ‘
If he did not yield, he was to be prostra
ted by this effort. Those politicians who
arrogate to themselves an exclusive devo
tion to the Union, were willing to make
war on a member of the Union, not for
the sake of the Indians , but for political
ends. The Court has nipped in the bud
this mad scheme of political ambition.
What will be the next effort of this par
ty; who are always grasping for poicer—
power,—no man can divine. WiU they
not mainly rely on the snpposed advan
tages, to be derived from the “Correspon
dence!” In this they will be as much dis
appointed, as they have been in regard
to the Indian subject. The great body
of the real pal riots of the country, a tribu
nal higher than the Supreme Court itself,
will decide that question* and will not
permit themselves to be distracted, divided
and conquered, by little feuds and the
wiles of our enemies. The people have
principles in View, which they deem of
the utmost importance. The opposition
party take sides with the disaffected , until
they make an irreparable breach, through
which they expect to enter in triumph,
with all their forces, sack the city, and
storm and overthrow the citadel of our
liberty, our Union—the Constitution it
self. This is the design; but republicans,
I trust, are already aroused from their
slumbers; they will not sleep while the
enemy is before us. Let mutual forbear
ance among ourselves, have its proper in
iluence; let us look alone to the rights
and interests of the people—to the Con
stitution am! our country.

THE EXECUTIVE AND THE JUDiri ARY.
The Supreme Court of the United

Injunction moved for by the Clu-rokees
to restrain the operation of the laws of

| Georgia over the Territory occupied hv
1 the, n the State.—The Court refu
sed to consider them an Independaet Ntr
tiim. Thus this vexed and vexing ques
tion is forever put to rest—and “m tv it
rest in peace!” We have never doubted
for a moment -that this would he the re
sult ot that case. What now will tlic
Indurnites say? Aye! and what will the
Nullifiers say? Their great hobbv his

hy rode entirely for political effect u
hobby which neither has rode with much
credit to themselves. The one party
mounted it to break down Jackson and
sustain Clay —the other to weaken the
affections of the people towards the Gov

aim of which is to preserve that colder.
quipoise between the State and the Fed
eral Administration, designed by the
Constitution—a Government, whose end
is, to check that sectional effervescence,
which its founders foresaw might one
day dissolve all the elements of our po
litical cement.
In our remarks upon the Message of
the President at the opening of the last
session of Congress we oliserved that we
dtd not expect that Message would en
tirely meet the views of any of the con
tending sections of the country. Wc
might almost say the same of the deci
sion of the Supreme Court upon the mo
tion for this Injunction. Though the dis
organizes of the South will be compelled
to approve it, yet we believe there are
some among us, that would have rejoiced
in secret, had the decision been the other
way. We say this, because by this de
cision their mouths have been stopped
We say this, because by this decision, the
confidence of the people will be con
firmed in a tribunal which has been as
sailed with unmeasured abuse. We say
this, because we believe there are some
in this country whose ardent desire has
been and still is, to bring things to a cri
sis which every true friend of the Union
would shudder to contemplate. Where
now are their hopes'/— blasted—most
gloriously blasted !
The friends of the Union in the South
are called upon to admire anew, and to
cling, with renewed ardor and renovated
hopes, to the middle ground they have
assumed in the extremes of the politico]
the iinrmsm‘\tl'V,ndiVu. <,Thrui Ine isout/i
calmly put to rest by President Jackson
and the Supreme Court. Their Living
starts, their Dfatnns, and their Clarks,
may look with complacency, upon the
subsiding waves of the political tempest
retiring, in dying murmurs, before the
mild sun of “wisdom justice, and mod
eration”—the motto of Georgia adopted
in good old times—while they can behold,
with a “pleasure and mournful” satisfac
tion, the wrecks and scattered fragments
of latitudinarianism and nullification,
strewing the desolate shores of disunion ?
The character of the government has thus
shrtWn itself to be that which was design
ed by its framers* We have seen those
political combinations, predicted bv
Washington, put down by the inflexible
integrity of the President. The profuse
expenditure of the public money on ob
jects not authorized by the Constition has
been checked. Nullification has reixlvctl
from the hands of the stern old soldier, a
fatal stab, by a refusal to appoint to office
one of its advocates. On the other hand,
his opinions have beer, sustained by a co
ordinate branch of the Government, the
Supreme Court, by its declining to n
surp a political power claimed for it by
the ultra constructionists. It has silenced
the clamors of those, who have been long
and loud in their denunciations of this
enlightened and salutary Tribunal.
Let the friends of the Union then hold
up their heads and lie joyful. Let the
people of Georgia no longer listen to the
vituperations against a Government which
can have for its object nothing hat the u
nivefsal good of the people of this Nation.
To those of them, who have stood bv the
cause of the Union through good and
through evil report, we say —take courage
your cause is just, your Republic is yet
safe ! The ebullitions of sectional feel
ling and corrupt principles have been put
to rest—and the creed which you hnvc
supported may yet repose firmly and se
curely upon the sentiment of your Pres
ident—“ The Federal Union—-It mnst be
preserved."

From Croly's life and times of George TV.
Erskine’s w ell known habit of talking
of himself, often brought the jest of the
gabble against him. He was often pane
tyrising his own humanity. “There,”
said he, “for instance is my dog; I wish
to be happy in this life, I wish it to be
happy in the other. Like the Indian, l
wish that wherever I go my faithful dog
shall bear ine company.” “Ami a con
founded unlucky dog he would be,” mur
mured Jekvll.
All the Loudon world was amused by
Mingay’s retort on Erskine,in one of these
fits of laudation. The trial was on som*:
