Mr.. ED1roR-Glancing over the pages of the Will
mngton Aurora of June 1st, notice an article head
ed &c Medical Society of North Carolina and ex-
animation of the Editors remarks find he entirely
comedies with me in reference to what should do
ask, through the columns of your paper, to insti-
tute the inquiry-Why does not North Carolina es-
tablsh Medical School within her own borders =?
She has Medical men of the first talent; and as
proof of this assertion where has been more intri
cate case in Surgery than the performed by your
DR.. Dickson on MURRAY of Dupln, and where is
scientific practitioner in Medicine than your
MCREE Sen, and where superiors to ROBINSON,
STRUDwIcK, CAMERON, PITMAN, and many others that
might be mentioned? And then, why is it that
young men have to go abroad to get the necessary
qualifications for the practice of Medicine Reason,
common sense, says, establish Medical School with
in your own borders; your young men the trou-
Bile and expense of going to other States for the ben
eft of Medical Lectures and, above all, within
your own State the means necessarily employed in
making this foreign preparation.
While am writing another thought suggests it.
self Why do we in North Carolina continue our
mock Courts of Justice mean the Courts of Pleas
and Quarter Sessions. 1t is apparent to every strict
observer that of Importance is finally dispo-
sed of in the County Courts and by reference to your
financial accounts you will perceive that they cost
quite as much as the Superior Courts, where final
adjudication of all matters of consequence is had
aware that the demagogue will say County Courts
cheapest and hence convenient and best for the
poor man, but (without any dsparagement to the
legal profession ask the question, if the ignorant
cannot procure motion made to a common magis-
tracy, by FRIEND without paying an Attorney for
ty, yes, and sometimes two hundred shilling bill
Believing in the position which l have taken,
beg leave to submit to next Representatives in
the Legislature in advance of their election the pro-
priety of establishing Medical College in North
Carolina and also the propriety of abolishing the
County Courts except so far as Court of Probate,
&c. In the latter case, am fully persuaded that
there would be saving to the country Establish
Court of Appeals for the disposition of all matters
,cognizable by single Magistrate, and if you
have to pay that Court heavy salary, it would be
less than the amount now expended to conduct the
County Courts, and in most cases, justice better ad
minstered
Should you have leisure spot in your paper
will thank you for insertion of the above, and hope
that other Editors in the State friendly to reform
will copy. A DOWN EASTER.
