Evening.
The meeting last night, at vauxhall, OF the
wings friends of General Taylor, was most en-
thusiastlc. At no former meeting on behalf OF
General Taylor, has SO much ardor and enthusl-
asm been demonstrated as was displayed on this
occasion. But unfortunately, we cannot speak
so favorably of the orators of the meeting
One of the gentlemen who spoke made a severe
personal attack upon Gen. Cass and put forth
statement, which, if true, would imply that Henry
Clay had betrayed private confidence, and broken
all the principles which are observed among
gentlemen. Many persons on the ground. excused
the orator from deep culpability in putting forth
such speech, and violating the rules of decency
in political contest, by alleging that the meeting
was held rather too soon after leaving the dinner
table If General Tay lor is TO be elected President
Of the United States-as there is now some hope
that he may belt would be better for him that his
friends should place him In the White House with
cut making personal attacks upon the character of
sesses merits enough in his own character, IT
the wings have but the sense to them'
10 command the attention and respect of the
people of the United States. We were IN hopes
that the wing party would have had sense enough
IN the present critical crisis to conduct the political
canvass with sense and discretion. There was,
indeed, in the meeting last night, much unanimity
and sound policy displayed, but we cannot say as
much of the speakers, or their manner of speak
ing, or the principles and views brought forward
y them on the occasion.

The OPERA.-It Is rumored that dlssenslons and
jealousles are already breaking out in Mr.. Fry's
Italian opera company. We fear that these artists
are prompted TO the exhibition of this spirit of r.
valry by certain persons behind the scenes Their
simple, impulsive nature is too often practised
upon by people having interested motives and pre-
disposed as they naturally are, by the spirit of com
petition existing among them, to entertain hostile
feelings towards each other, they are nstigated by
Misrepresentation and imposliions of various kinds

lie exhibitions of spite and hatred which the pub

Our advice TO those artists is TO abstain from
such foolish quarrelsto exert themselves TO amuse
and delight the public, and so reap the reward
their talent, il allowed uninterrupted exercise, will
be sure to bring them. Let MS not have repet-

RAILROADS AND SrEAMBoATs.-Pubhc attention
Is seriously and very properly attracted to the
number OF accidents OF almost daily occurrence.
on several OF the railroad and steamboat routes
throughout the country. These affairs are be-
coming OF such frequency as to demand some Sc
we're measures for their prevention We believe
that most accidents of this nature are attributable
to petty spirit Of sordid economy in the compa-
MES owning the various routes The worst ma
tenals used In the construction of the ir works
and, In many cases, the lowest grade of talent
and experience Is employed in the selects IN of
their agents. The consequence OF this sordid-
ness, and Of the absence of all system in the re.
gulaiion OF their hours of departure is seen in the
frightlul mortality in which the innuinerable ac
cldents We speak Of generally result. This should

that they would be better without slavery than
with 1t. Well, that Is matter for their own ex-
elusive consideration. When the greater part of
the people OF any OF hem shall have arrived
at the same conclusion, slavery will disappear;
not, however, III way that will jeopardise
the hte or property OF. the whites. In Ken
lucky, we believe, the public mind Is, to
great extent, satisfied that they would be
better of without slaves than with them; and
accordingly learn that movements are on
foot having tor their object the lncorpora-
ton, by the convention about to assemble to re-
model the constitution of that State, of provision
IN that instrument for the gradual emancipation OF
all the slaves in that State. 1t is proposed we be-
ieve, by the real friends OF the blacks, that all
slaves born IN that State after the year 1855 or
1850, shall be free the age of nty-ive years.
1t cannot be maintained that this change IN the
public mind in Kentucky has been wrought by the
bigoted and denunciatory harangues and addresses
of Northern abolition fanatics. So far from that,
we believe that the cause of freedom has been pro-
crasnnated by them, for they served to incense and
annoy the shareholders of that and other States,
and prevent them from comparing and weighing
the respective value of slave and free labor, and
arriving at proper conclusion.

PENDANT 1t will be seen by the testimony in the
case, and by the bill of particulars embodied In the
report, that the medical gentleman above named
treated case OF small pox, occurring In Mr. Ben
nett's family-not by bleeding and hot water ex-
actly, but by bleeding and Dover's powders
Whether ornot this is novel mode of treatment,
or in accordance with approved and established
practice In such cases, II is not for to say. No
doubt the medical profession will be edited and
instructed. The exposition of the law of contracts
applicable to the case, will also be found to be
highly interesting.
The medica. profession is one of great response
bhty, having, as it has, dependent on its proper
practice, the lives and health of the whole COM

cannot properly be called quacks. The real en-
prizes are those who undertake to prescribe medl-
cines of the application OF which they are gno-
rant and toperfom operations the consequences
OF which they cannot foresee and even the me-
chaninsl execution Of which they do not under
stand. Against such men the public should always
be upon their guard. There should be clear de-
finite law upon the subject of the practice of me-
dlcine, taking cognisance of all cases ofmal-prac-
tice and the profession sholld, for its own sake
interest itself In the vigorous enforcement of such
law. The act passed at the recent session of
Congress, concerning drugs, is calculated to have
most beneficial effect. Why cannot we have a
more stringent law in relation to the practice of
medicine?
