UNITED STATES BANK. One of the
most singular remarks in the Presidents
Message, is, that the constitutionality Of
the bank :" is we'll questioned" If this
remark arose from ignorance, it is a sin
that we are required perhaps to wink at
but if from another cause, no charity can
cover it. The question has been settled
over and over again by the highest judi.
cial authority in the country, the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
In the case of McCullock rs. the State
OF Maryland, in the 4th vol. of Wheaton's
Reports, the court decided that Congress
has power to incorporate bank !; for such
a corporation is only the means of carry.
ing into effect other powers which are
sovereign, and that this bank comes un
der the description. So clear was the
question long before tkis, viz. in 1916
that President Madison in his Message t.
Congress in that year, speaks of it as de,
cided beyond controversy; and no one
originally, was more hostile to a national
bank than he when the subject was men
toned in 1871.

RAILROAD TO BRATTLEBoRoUGH. The
Committee appointed to examine and re-
port on route for railroad from Boston
to marlborough, made their report at a
meeting of the citizens of Boston on
Tuesday evening last. They remark
that the survey has been completed, and
that the surveyor, Mr.. Wilder, is engaged
IN drawing plan of the route, to be ac-
companied with map, drawn by Mr.. Will
lard, showing the principal towns on the
proposed line.
They remark that they have already
obtained great number Of deeds of land,
and certificates for donations of granite,
gravel, timber, stone, labour, &C., and
that many more are in preparation. They

Dissection. A pamphlet has lately
been published on this subject by COM
mlttee OF medical gentlemen, by order of
the Massachusetts Medical Society. 1t
had its origin in the circumstance that sub
jects for dissection are with difficulty OBJ
tanned, under the severe laws of this Com.
monwealth that bear with heavy hand
on those who for the benefit of practical
sclentlfick knowledge, are in measure
obliged to use great secrecy and care in
obtaining the means by which alone the
study of Anatomy can be pursued.
The committee speak of the import
ance of knowledge of anatomy, and of
the many lives that are annually lost by
want Of it. They relate several cases
that have happened even within the last
year, where valuable members of So
ciety who have met with bodily injury,
have fallen sacrifice because the physi-
clans who have been called in were igno-
rant of anatomy. The following is an
extract from this part of their pamphlet =
Hernia or rupture is most common dis
ease, and one to which labouring men are
by far the most liable, as it is usually pro-
duced by sudden and violent bodily exertion.
1t is generally known, that if the protruded
bowel becomes strangulated, or confined
within the hernial bag, SO it cannot be re-
turned into the abdomen, death almost inev-
itably ensues. Now the operation required
for the relief Of this dangerous condition, is
one which can readily be performed by ev-
cry anatomist And yet, in the most popu-
lous part of Massachusetts, a very aged
practitioner, and one who was eminent in
the practice of his profession for more than
half century, had never known this opera
ton to be performed within the circuit of
his extensive practice, till about twelve
years ago. When he was asked how many
he had known to die of the complaint, on
whom no operation was attempted, he said,
certainly more than hundred" A humid
red lives lost, within the knowledge of one
practitioner, for want of anatomic al science
How great must have been the number in
the whole of New England who persisted
miserably from the same cause
1t may be fair to compute that, when the
operation is seasonably performed, life is
preserved in four cases out of FIVE.
The axe, the adze, the chisel, the scythe
and the sickle, are the most common imple-
ments among those who labour and they
often infilct wounds, which carry horror and
dismay to the hearts of the bystanders, who
are ignorant of the means of applying re-

DETECTION AND SUICIDE OF A Thief.
The following is from the Boston Courier
of the Oath instant. Butler, it is said, was
an Englishman and thought he should be
hanged for the offence he had committed :
and this, probably, was the reason why
he made way with himself
"Thomas Butler, the man who run off with
Messrs. Gilbert & Sons money, and was ap-
pretended at Brattleboro, cut his throat
yesterday, when on his way to Boston, and
died Immediately. We learnt last night
that he was in publick carriage, in charge
of an officer and the stageman who took
him, and that it having stopped, near Nashua,
he was allowed to get out with the other
passengers, lit not having been deemed ne
cessary to confne his arms or legs in conse-
quence of his good behaviour and promises
not to attempt an escape) when he instantly
took to his heels, and run into some brush
wood, but was pursued, and when on the
point of being re-taken, put an end to his
existence. His body was put into light
wagon, and brought to the city in the eve
ming"
Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Mass.) 1828-1830, 1829-12-29

posting it in vaults, to purify and moulder
away or even embalming it, which con-
sists in preserving the external form in a
frightful and unnatural state. 1t is re-
markable and instructive fact, that each OF
these modes of disposing Of the body, is
venerated by some nations, who would abb
hor all different modes, as being unfeellng
and indecent showing that there is no
common or natural reason on the subject,
but that the customs respecting the dead are
arbitrary, local, and irrational. "*
If law is enacted which simply places a
permissive power in the hands of those au-
thorities in whose custody these unclaimed
bodies remain, it will be placed out OF the
power of the medical profession to abuse
their privilege of dissection; and it will al
ways be competent to overseers. of the poor,
TO prevent any bodies but those of the most
proper persons from being delivered over
for dissection.
But it is objected, that in almost all in
stances it will be the bodies of the poor
which is unclaimed and the poor are thus
made to bear the burden of the proposed
law.-and their feelings ought to be re-
garded by the philanthropist. In answer to
this, we asks not the poor man, Of res
pectable character, as likely to have rela-
tives, or friends, to claim for his body the
rites of sepulture, as the rich? And if a
single person, however humble, appears to
claim kindred, or connection, with the de-
ceased, his claim should be respected for
it is not the body of the pauper, as such,
that is contemplated in the proposed act.
Doubtless the propositions here advanced,
will be opposed, and at first view will be re-
voting to some but we are convinced that
no man can calmly and considerably reflect
on the subject, and not arrive at the conclu-
sion, that it is necessary for the publick to
make some concession of prejudice to the
necessities of the case, and that something
must be done to protect anatomical pursuits ;
and we have never yet seen any mode point
ed out that is more free from objections than
the one we have mentioned.
The public must choose between these
two things,-the dissection of the dead, or
the mutilation of the living. We say the
public must choose, for it is their affair; and
if they choose the greater evil, physicians
will be exempted from pursuit revolving in
its nature, and not unfrequently dangerous,
and even fatal to their health, in its conse-
quences and their occupation will still re-
main, if not as laudable and beneficial to
community, at least as lucrative to them
selves, and even more SO for ignorance of
ten protracts disease.

CoNeREss. This body is now fairly
under way. The committees being APP
pointed the period Of labor at once arrives.
No discussions, however, of any length,
can be expected until the committees be-
gin to report. In the mean time host
of letter writers planted at Washington,
on both sides of the question are filling
the newspapers with on dts scandal,
political and fashionable gossip, &c. &c.
Most of their speculations are crude and
entitled to as much belief and confidence
as Damberger's Africa, or any other equal
ly veracious work.
In the House. on Monday the 18th inst.
proposition to consider the expediency
Of reducing the duty on salt, was rejected
by a majority of sixteen.
In the Senate on Tuesday, ga bill to
repeal tonnage duties upon ships and ves-
sells of the United States, and upon GER
tain foreign vessels" was introduced.
In the House resolution was offered
by Mr.. Richardson of this State, to add
to the ordinary standing committees, a
committee on education. This called
forth some debate, and was finally laid
upon the table.
In the Senate on Wednesday, the tom
mage bill was read second time and re-
ferred to the Committee on finance. The
rest of the day was spent and also Thurs
day on executive business, with closed
doors.
In the House on Thursday numerous
petitions and memorials were presented,
and resolutions admitted. Upon one of
the latter, proposed by Mr.. Hunt, for the
distribution of the nett and annual pro-
ceeds arising from the sale of the Pub
lick Lands among the States, along dis
cussion ensued, in which Messrs. STAN
berry, Sterigere, Test, Sewer, Vance,
Martin, Mallary, Johnson, of Kentucky,
Reed, Taylor, Wilde, and Haynes took
part. Several amendments were engraft-
ed upon the original resolution; but it
was finally, on the motion of the last
named gentleman, laid on the table. Mr..
Verplanck moved resolution of consid-
cradle interest to American Literature !;
to inquire into the expediency of reducing
the postage on all periodical publications
to the level of the postage charged upon
newspapers. 1t was referred to the
Committee on the Post Office and Post
Roads. The question of the establish
ment of an arnory ON the western wa
tiers, was brought forward by Mr.. Carson
various amendments were moved upon it
but, previous to the sense of the House
being taken upon the subject, an adjourn
ment took place until IL o'clock on Mon
day.
On Monday and Tuesday of last week,
many petitions were presented, orders
moved and referred, and various bills of
private nature were introduced. The
principal discussion was in the house on
Tuesday, on the resolution previously Of
fered by Mr.. Desha. instructing the COM
mittee on military affairs to inquire into
the expediency of establishing an armory
at suitable place on the western waters.
Messrs. Blair, Gilmore, Wickliffe, John
son of KY. Mallary, Jennings, Sewer,
Vance, Daniel, and Haynes, took part,
and after several amendments were offer
ed and rejected, the question returned on
the original motion, which was decided in
the affirmative.
