o. The Faculties, for intellectual Abilities
moral worth aud professional requirements,
will compare favorably with the most distin-
guished in our country.-The Medical Faculty
constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country all Of them are able lecturers and
the best Of teachers.
| Those who will contemplate our geographi.
cal position and the extent Of our population,
can have no doubt as 10 the eligibility of our
situation for an enterprise Of the kind, As 10
health, including all seasons Of the year, we
deny that ANY OTHER CITY HAS MORE.
| A common error exists in the minds of MANY
students relative to the place OF studying med.
icine' those who intend practicing among the
diseases OF the west and south should certainly
educate themselves at school whose Faculty
are practically acquainted with these diseases.
! That the public may be satisfied Of the per-
manency of this school, wc feel il our duty to
state, that the Trustees and Faculty form q
UNIT in action, which augurs we'll for its fu-
ture success, and that the peculiar internal or
ganlzation which connects them, cannot be in
terrupted. e. w. M. KING,

A Scene Altogether American.


The National Intelligencer, commenting
upon the sad event Of President Taylors
death, alludes 10 an incident of the day
which probably made less impression than
some Others on American spectators, but
was precisely that which is most calculated
20 attract the notice Of foreigners. The
death Of the President being announced, a
citizen, plainly attired, enters among the as
sembled Representatives of the nation,
walks up 10 the Clerks desk, takes an oath
on the Bible to support the Constitution of
the United States, and by this brief ceremo-
ny he becomes, in an instant of time, invest
ed with the command of the whole military
force Of mighty empire, with the execu-
tion of its laws and the administration of its
power, No one objects or dreams of obiec-
ton; the act is acquiesced in asa thing of
course, and with the submission that would
be rendered 10 law of nature. The scep-
tire OF the people passes into his hands as
quietly and as quickly as power of attor.
ney could be acknowledged before Justice
Of the Peace. And yet, though the individ-
ual attracted attention, the thing itself was
hardly thought of inconnection with the con-
sequences. In some countries such transfer
of power would have cost streams of blood,
and shaken the Government to its very foun-
dations, And why is it not so here =? Be-
