If the duties Of any profession are

That men are better adapted to some
pursuits, and women to others, is an evi.
dent fact. A bad man. who shields him
self under the sanction of the medical
profession, can do more to corrupt and
abuse than woman.
Bad men can more deeply outrage
and abuse woman in the medical pro-
fession than in any other. Many men,
under the name of doctor, are amassing
fortune, and corrupting the weak and
ignorant multitude of women; therefore

qualified to protect herself and her sex.

What Daniel webster said.

The WIig papers know no bounds in their lau-
daton of the sagacty. integrity, and prescience of
Daniel Webster. We would, therefore, commend
their careful consideration and that of The Wings
generally, the last political speech which their dis
tinguished champion has left on record. 1t is in n
message sent by him through his particular person
al friend, Peter Hervey, to Rufus Choate. He
said, @
"Tell him, as my dying message to him, that,
after the second day Of November next, the

EXIST ONLY IN HISTORY"

Mr.. webster's Advice to Rufus e7no,a

introduction to Peter Harvey, Esq of that city,
the Intimate personal and political friend of tho

ACandId Admission.

The Free Democracy have occasion to re-

pie, TO gain uotes. The Wings did abandon prin-

votes, as the candid among them admit-and this

overthrow. nsomuch that they never rally

and the candid acknowledge.
Read the following from the Pittsburgh Daily
Journal, one the most able Wing papers in Penn
sylvania:
Our complaint is. that the Wings, with their
eyes open, periled their success at the North TO

abandoned the Northern Wings.

The Eject ON Gen. scott.

A telegraphic dispatch to the northward on Mon
day night and published in Tuesday mornings pa
pers, stated that Gen. Scott was to depart that
morning for few days. and that his place of re-
sort was unknown. The truth is that Gen. Scott
had no such notion. On Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday he was constant in his attention to the
duties of his Office, civil, cheerful and quiet, and
no man not acquainted with The facts. could be-
evs it possible he had any more interest in the
great events passing in the country than the plain
est citizen in midst. By sunrise each morn
ing he has been on Pennsylvania avenue taking his
accustomed walk, and exchanging salutaii1ns with
the friends whom he encounters. Ga the night OF
his nomination he paid handsome compliment to
Gen. Pierce. in the speech he addressed from his
piazza to the multitude before him; and when
Gen. Pierce comes to our city, he will undoubted-
Iy receive from the old hero creating in the same
spirit. During his administration, also, should any
emergency arise calling for his couusels, we pre-
diet the existence of most friendly aud agreeable
intimacy between Gen Scott and President Pierce.
The feelings that operated on the Polk adminisIa- a.
lion towards him, will not ind place in the next;
and he who hereafter magus the name of Scott,
