crat makes the following practical com
ments upon the policy of the Wings in re-
gard TO our Oregon difficulty which we
commend to the attention of our readers;
they are characterized by sound common
sense, and show fully the wisdom of the
policy pursued by The administration =
WHAT DO THEY WANT2-Eyery one
must have remarked the great industry and
zeal, with which certain wing papers have
lalterly been collecting and publishing,
everything calculated to enlbarrass our
own government and encourage that of
London in the progress of the Oregon con-
troversy. We should like to know what
definite object they have in view by pur-
suing this course. What wonld they have
the administration TO do? Do they de-
sire that our government should knuckle TO
that of Great Britain and drop the question,
or give up as much of the territory as the
latter chooses to demand? 1t is very GER.
tain, that so long as the British are under
the impression, that we will finally submit
to their demands rather than run the risk
Of hostile collision, they will never abate
one lot of them. Therefore, while our
Wing neighbors are labouring so earnest
Iy to Keep up that impression they must be
conscious that they are doing the very
thing, of all others, the best calculated to
prevent an amicabe settlement, upon
terms consistent with the honor and nte-
rests Of our own country. If it be true
maxim that "the best way to keep peace is
to be prepared for war;" it is certainly
equally true, that the only way TO procure
the acquiescence Of foreign nations in our
rights, is to show united and firm deter.
mnation 10 maintain them. Were il even
contemplated to yield portion of what
We consider our just rights, finally, BY way
Of compromising a disputed question, ra-
Their than to resort TO the last and most 10
be deprecated of all expedients, war, we
imagine it would not be very sound policy
to inform our adversary beforehand!
Such is not the course usually pursued
by the parties to contest of this nature.
We think il is time, therefore, for these
gentlemen to inform their counlFymen
what il is they want, or what they really
do mean. If they intend to enlist them
selves as open advocates Of Great Britain,
as opposed 10 the American side of this
controversy. it would at least be manly to
mow themselves so; and if they have any
other views in the matter, their course is
very much in need of some explanation.

The publication of Mr.. Cahoun's speech
on the Oregon question, has not conduced
much to the increase of the high opinion
nwhich he was held by the American
people. His calculation of the cost Of war
may be accurate enough in dollars and
cenls-but he tells US nothing about the
cost of national degradation and puslIani-
nous sentiments in our fellow citizens,
produced by unmanly submission TO the
insults and aggressions of the British. -
The arguments urged by Mr.. Calhoun TO
deter the United States from war with
Great Britain on this occasion, would
Tighten us on any other, and make US be-
leye it was good policy to bear tamely the
kicks of the Mexican jackass--ln fine the
word is peace! peace on any terms peace!

doctrine perceive not that they are defeat.

by stump speech, for he was candidate,
and probably, it was TO maintain the posi-.
tions taken therein, that he fought with a
man or two who courted beating; he tried
and won case, for he was LAWYER; and
then he married a couple, and delivered an
edyfying discourse, tor he was either a
minister or magistrate-very likely both,
and decidedly under the influence oil strong

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

The plan Of instruction in this department of the
University, presents pecuartes, to be found in no
other school of medicine in the Union. The lee
lures commence the LIST of October and terminate
on the 18th of June. ..
Owing TO the length Of the session, which en-
braces period Of nine months three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med
ical institutions usually assigned six; and the
students are seldom required to attend more than
two lectures on the same day. By this arrange
ment the students have an opportunity of being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and other
elementary branches of medical science, before they
investigate their applications in connexion with the
study of the practice OF Medicine and Surgery.
Immediately before each lecture, the students are
subjected to full and rigid examination on the pre-
ceding lecture, or on portions Of approved text
books. Ii is apparent that the plan, of which the
outlines have been briefly stated, is one which allows
the student TO commence as we'll as TO complete his
medical studies in the institution, and presents
happy combination of the advantages Of the system
of instruction, by private pupage and that of public
lectures. 'n 10 rI ai'srs q
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
as a candidate, and receive the degree Of M. d,
without reference to the time he has been engaged
In the study of medicine, or of joining the school,
provided he undergoes, in satisfactory manner
the various examinations prescribed by the enact.
ments. The professors are: aaes
Robert E. Rogers M. D., Professor Of Chemis.
try, Pharmacy, and Materia Medica. H&
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical

ITO the holders of Virginia Military
act approved 18th July last, extended the time for
locating continental land warrants in the Virginia
military district, Ohio, and for returning surveys
thereon to this office, until the first day of January,
l84s, notice is hereby given, that the holders of
such warrants can now locate the same in the said
district.
of the military district in Ohio, it appears that the
quantity ofand yet remaining to be located is about
100000 acres, lying principally in Scoto, Pike, and
Adams counties.
As the time for locating, and the quantity to be
located are limited, and as Congress has made no
provision to satisfy warrants Of this character in
scrip, holders will perceive that if the present op-
portunity of locating their warrants be lost another
may not offer. JAMES Fl. PIPER,
