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.

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 We have received the fourth number of the Lady’s Book.

March 19. F. FEATIIF.RSTOV POETRY. ) FROM THE CASKET. 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. March 18,1«3I. SIDNEY. THE EXECUTIVE AND THE JUDiri ARY. The Supreme Court of the United States has declined jurisdiction in the Injunction moved for by the Clu-rokees to restrain the operation of the laws of VOL. 1.-YO. 26. | 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 been taken fronm each of them —x bols 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 ernment and the Supreme Court. Herd is a glorious disappointment to both Here is a signal vindication of the char acter of the Government—a Government the legitimate object of which is the gen eral good—a Government, the dignified 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." Federal Union. 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*: I trivial question of a patent for a shoe [buckle. Rrskino held up the buckle to
