SOUTH CAROLINA MEDICAL AS.
SOCIATION.

The Anniversary meeting Of the South
Carolina Medical association was held at
the Hall of the Apprentices Library So
cic,y, on Wednesday, the 2lst of Feb.
ruary. The meeting was large and res
pcclable-many members present being
gentlemen of the Medical profession from
distan, portions OF llIc State. Great un
aniIniIy Of opinion and sentiment prevail
ed, and all seemed aclualed by the one
molive-lhe desire of doing something to
elevaIo the character of The MEDICAL pro-
fossion in The Stale of South Carolina.
At one o'clock, The Anniversary Oralion
was delivered by Dr.. 2. C. Gailard, an
able and eloquent production, aud which
reflects much honor upon its author, al
ready so favorably known to the medical
profession. Tho subject discussed was

ting a. this time, as our county has just
been visited by an epidemic, al The very
mention Of which nations uemple-lhe

comprised in The brief compass of an Ora.

ral,y is monstrous!! A system of morality
which Incorporates this notion. will find itself
very properly rebukcj by our Saviour in the
23rd chap. Of Matt, wo unto you, scribes
and pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea
and land to make one proselite, and when he
is made, ye mako him two fold more tho
child Of hell than yourselves. Wo unto you
70 blind guides which say, whosoever shall
swear by the temple is notbing--but whoso-
ever shall swear by the gold of the temple,
he is debtor. For whether is greater, the
gold or the temple that sanctifelh the gold?
For ye pay tithe Of mint, anise and cummin,
and have omitted fhe ,ceightier matters Of
the ld,o-judgment, mercy and falth.''
II is we'll known that these men were the
greatest lecturers about inorality-and tho
most intelligent, wealthy and influential class
of citizens in all that country. They had it
in their power 10 establish whatever public
sentiment their reason, caprice, or peculiar
taste might suggest, and if necessary enact
any law 10 sanction their popular notions:-.
But because they " omitted the 1veightier
matters of the Ia,v," our Saviour denounces
them as blind "guidcs, which strain at a gnat
and swallow camel"
We may have occasion, Sir, TO beg your

remarkable, aud to the country providers
lial.
The Senate was enchanted, to day, 'or
some lime, by The brillian, passages be-
tween Mr.. Webster and Mr. Calhoun. |
heard several gentlemen Of The Senate
speak of this brief conversation as the very
scn,,of the session. \ Southern member
of distinction remarked to me thai lie had
never been so much impressed before with
The fact Of the existence oi a long interval
between Webster and Calhoun. on one
hand, and the whole Congress on The oIhcr.
A few others held diil,errni language.
There are persons who live TO covel.
There arc those who hate even The mellow
beams Of The declining sun. There arc
those TO whom the diamond is not brilliant,
because ii is Of tic first wacr. The Sen
ate paid an involuntary homage 10 This
intellectual display by devoted, admirng,
and silent attention.
There was no oraiory-no affection ei
dispay-no personal misunderstanding
but Il blight, sudden, determined, and mas
sive clash OF dialectics.
The question was one that had inciden-
tally arisen as 10 the extension Of the Con-
silu,ion to the newly acquired territories.
MIR. Walkers project extends the Consli-
tuition over them, Mr.. Day,on's and MIR.
We5s,er's do not. Mr.. Wcbsler's invests
the President with discretionary power
10 provide suitable laws for the territories.
MIR. Dayton made point in bis argument
that was noticed. at The moment, by Mr..
Butler, against The extension Of tie ConsIi-
tulon, for The reason that the Southern
Senators had claimed that The Conslilu-
ton would take slavery under its wing into
whatever place it was carried. A most
imprudcnt and graluitous, and, after all,
unmeaning remark, because MIR. Dayton
was himself of the opinion that slavery
was not tolerated by the Constitution. Mr
Butler got his friend Dayton on the hip as
