The object contemplated to be accomplish
ed by the above scheme, is eminently emit.
tied 10 the favor and patronage of the citl'
zens of Baltimore. The establishment OF
Medical College will unquestlonably havea
beneficial influence on the general literary
character of our city: on perhaps may be
hereafter engrafted the other Colleges, and
thus an university be constituted.
1t will however give us other important
Gdvantages-it will promote spirit OF H.
yestigation in the faculty, it will induce
young men of talents to establish themselves
in our city, and thereby permanently secure
to this community the best aid that can be
afforded by the medical profession II may
also be proper to remark. that if this school
should prosper, as is anticipated, it will
cause large sums to be expended annually
in this city, which would otherwise be dis
burseG in other places
We presume that those gentlemen who
are anxious for the advancement OF the ln-
terests of Baltimore, will give us their sup
port en- the above considerations.

YOURS is cause worthy of all your energies
1t is the cause of your country 1.-The cause indeed
of mankind for it involves the principles most essential
to his happiness The successes of Republicansm
the triumphs of humanity. But glorious as the cause
is it is beset with dangers and surrounded with enemies.
-Republicansm is the of the many against the
fcv-The te9c have always aimed at making the many
their property and the strugg to prevent this has
produced greater part of the bros and the wars that
have disturbed and vexed the peace of society, and OF
the world. 1t is amcntable fact that the few have
too often and too generally prevailed in the contest.
Hence the dcspotsm that regns the greatest part
of the earth This has uniformly happened in the same
way-the aspiring few have supplied by art their detect
of physical strength, and made the undesgnlnf, and
unsuspecting people, first their dupes, and then the
deluded instruments of their own servitude.
This enemy exists in every society, and necessarily
aspiring to ascendancy, and power and rule. In
Repubfck like this, this party is naturally feeble and
can succeed only by seducing partzans from the body
of the people, and augmenng their forces by recruits
so obtained To effect this object them exciting
andexhaustng alhe ofinguc and deception,
of bribery and corruption. Republican doctrines are
the creed Of the people, and they left to themselves,
they would act together, and give their undivided
strength to the Republican cause, which is their own.
But they are not left 10 themselves. The enemy IS
always at work upon them, and will compass sea and
land TO make one br0Seiye. It would be endless to
detail all the means of deception and seduction by
which the People are assaed principal machination
TO which The arisocrats direct their unceasng efforts,
Is to nfse into the minds of the People jealousy and
distrust of their friends and advocates. Caumny IS
the instrument they work with for this purpose Their
misrepresentation ought have the least effect with

Letters from Vincennes have been received
In town, stating that the citizens of that place
were SO much alarmed for the safety OF the
town as to have actually commenced fortifying
it by stockade--that the people are now fol-
lowing the advice of Governor Harrison and
building forts and lock-houses--that many
are abandoning their farms on the frontiers,
and moving into the settlements-and that ap-
prehensions were SO much entertained even
for the final safety of Vincennes that some
citizens were about to send their wives and
children into Kentucky and Ohio. The orr
ders which had been received there to march
Colonel Boyd's regiment to Newport had not
little contributed to excite these apprehen-
sions. This regiment is supposed to be des.
tined tor Detroit This state of affairs must
be very distressing to all the inhabitants of In.

and poorer people, most OF whom depend al
together upon their own labours for bare
support, and we're about preparing to plant
the corn on which they would have to RELY the
ensuing year Ior provisions for themselves,
their wives and children.

residence upon the Emberras river, about FIVE
miles from Vincennes. party was collect

tracks as to render the pursuit impracticable.

wounded in the arm by a tomahawk, that his
