The FRANKLIN Gazette has taken some Views

completed, which derive claim to attention
from the source whence they emanate The
article which we copied the other day from
the Essex Register with unfeigned satisfaction,
is denounced, in the gross, by the Editor OF
the Franklin Gazette, as containing erroneous
differences, arbitrary principles, statements
without utility, and eyincing want of renec-
ton. Now, we have read over the reasoning
by which this harsh sentence on the Salem
Nxriter md
attempted to be sustained, and we find so Iii
tie justification for it, that we are surprised nj
the vehemence of the wholesale condemna-
ton which lis passed upon it. We do not iinj
a single position of the writer in the Esser
Register TO be shaken. We have already said,
that the estimates ofthat writer may not i'm all
cases be entirely accurate but it is sufficient
Tor all useful purposes that they are toler-
ably so. We ARE more and more pleased
that the Salem writer has opened the subject.
since we perceive that his doing so has awak-
ene1 public attention TO it. We never said
that we concurrcd in all his views but we
have tic more reason TO cOniide in their ge-
neral Justice, when we find that the columns
ofthc Gazette have been displayed sganst
them, as appears to us, entirely without effect
We did not suppose, until we read it in the
Franklin Gazette, that any man could doubt
that an increase of the present number of
i 4hcippeIS vi inc ROUSE ot Representatives
| would have the effect TO cmbdrrass and DELAY
its decisions, All experience, as wen as the
DRY, is against the Gazette on this point.
There is one argument in favor Of liinita-
ton OF the Dumberof the members composing
! the House of Representatives, which, were
there no other, would ne conclusive on our
minds. We will present it in the form of am
axiom IN free goveTnment--for such we con-
slider it: Representative Body ought not TO
be so mutiiudinous but that each member OF
1t may, If he choose, have an opportunity OF
expressing his deliberate opinion on any qties-
ton presented for its consideration. G.Nli. I'M.
The Baltimore Patriot gives the number o f

Lectures in that city at tt0o hundred and nine

there IS this year larger Medical Glass than
mere mas been for many years. We have
heard that one of our Professors has issued
nearly JoW hUadrcd tickets. The established

and advantages for the study Of medicine AT
