What right his he to re,. present as foolish the arguments of any medical characters, who are anxious for the truth, that the public feelings may be allayed ? What right, or with what reason eat) he presume to say that those arguments are " simply contemptible. ?" Let him answer those argnments,and not, affect to despie theta. What right has he to say that those arguments sink to nothing before the high medical reputation of the Gentlemen who attended her Roirat.

Dies he not PaSlille the office of Umpire an skis occasion, and step her wren those Parties, and the general and anxious wishes and expecta tions of the Public ? The whole matter should be submitted to the "leads of the Colleges of Physi cians and Surgeons on an occasion of so much inte rest and import anee, and such a Report from them colloetively, as without entering into particalars that could not properly be disclosed, and would not be understood, might, in its general substance and 'nature, satisfy the feelings of the Country and put the subject finally to rest.
