Medical Terms.

Whenever a new type OF disease
appears, the worthy disciples Of Galen
and Hypocrates, refer to their books
to find some name for it, and after
this il done, the whole medical pro-
fession falls back exhausted into an
arm chair, exclaitning ''our duty Is per-
formed" .sThe benighted race Of

fics, the human family il as much now

information for the present, and will

world becomes better, and deserves

ancient form, and party Of anxious

variously fashioned thermometers, and
after the time had passed, . great
deal Of uncaziness was expressed, and
one gentleman more anxious than the

Democratic Convention.

Baton Rouge, Avgtst ist, 1853
The State Democratic Convention met
in the Hall Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives at II o'clock to-day. q.
w. MusnAy, was elected Pres't. pro
tenn and II. II. EAsrIN, Sect'y. A

RrvEs Vice Presidents. b. r. EAsrIS
5ect'y., and E. B. Town, Assist. sect'y.
Mr.. LACEY, on taking the chair, made
few remarks in his usual bold, and
eloquent manner He thanked bis
fellow-citizens for selecting one Of his
humble and limited ability to fill a
post ofso ihuch ilnportanoe-said that
they had assembled to select standard
bearers for the party-that each one
would naturally advocate the claims
ofhis own favurite With warmth, but
he hoped that harmony might pre-
vail during their deliberations, and that
each and all would unite upon the cam
didates when selected, and II so, the
result would inevitably be ''terror and
dismay to the enemy" Mr.. Lacey
declared the Convention opened for
business and took his seat.
Judge G. b GRENAAux, was noiain-
ated for State Treasurer and the Con-
vention adjourned until 4 o'clock.
8. +. MARKS was nominated for
Auditor Of Public Accounts, and J. N.

when we went to press the Conven-
ton had not adorned. We look

and shall furnish il, together with any
thing else they may have done before

HYThe Female Collegiate Insti-
,1tihn at Cavifgtor, says:

tutibn at Covington says:
seTo secure proper moral training
the Chatecisn Of the Presbyterian
church is used in the school
There Is q great struggle going on,
all over the oonntry--frotn Louisiana
to Maine, the true object and intent Of
which Is neither chfistain, OF credit
able. The palpable design isto grasp
at power and strength and wealth
which must necessarily flow from it.
To accomplish the object, each sect of
the thousand and one denominations
are wrangling about the proper sys-
tenn of education" and each one pro-
tests that the only true and safe sys-
tenn is their own, and the only correct
chatechism is the one they have had
printed for themselves at their own
expense-all others are inventions of
the devil, and persons who study them
must inevitably be damned without
appraisment
This is very funny doctrin to
teach at this period Of the Worlds
history; and we would say nothing
about It, did we not find it gaining a
respectable position with weak-minded
men and strong minded women. To
carry on the matter more successfully
there are "book concerns" and Ger
man Pedlers travelling hither, and
thither distributing new editions OF
the Scriptures, with new notes and
lamentations and new commentaries,
and the venerable old book has been
SO altered, amended, and "improved"
that the original can scarcely be re-
cognized.
This is wrong-decidedly wrong
And it is wrong to introduce scotia
rianism into schools, because the end
OF education is defeated by it. That
is. If the object be, liberal, enlightened
and conservative doctrines. But no,
this is not the idea, it Is to centeral-
ise and obtain strength and wealth
at The same time the seeds Of fanti-
cism are terminating, to keep the
world in q continual termoil, about
abstract questions that have nothing
to do with the welfare and happiness
of the race here, OF hereafter !, quss-
tions that cannot be settled until "the
great globe itself, dissolves, into the
baseless fabric Of a vision. Ifa lib
erai syetem Of education does not
tend to virtue and morality, the chat
ecism dognas Of the sects will never
do it. With this conviction we have
spoken and shall continue to speak.

The Past, the Present, and the
Future.

! The past ii Of no value, and can be
easily despatched. A momentary
glance at its dim pages, is all that the
present age can afford: and that sin
gle glance suflices to show the quag-
lnires and quicksands into which
Others have fallen but for the present
sagaeious race there is no danger.
The present precautions generation
can march over the very same ground,
without any danger Of being tripped
off its legs.
The present is an index to the future.
Like the hands on the dial plate ofst.
Joseph's, we can see nothing to pre-
vent their returning to the same given
point, when given number Of hours
have elapsed.
We have Just been carefully persu-
ing that very able article in the ''last
acts Of the late democratic" Legis-
lattre, entitled ian act to establish a
General system sof Free Banking in
the State IF Louisiana" anybody
say that The door is not wide open,
latter reading that act,) to the very
widest and most ruinous speeulating,
stock -iobbing and legalized gambling I
Can 1t not be seen that the card table
and the Faro Bank will give place
to more ruinous and less honorable
system of specializing!
Will not all gentleman Of leisure
who live by their wits, direct their tai
ents to Free Banking operations, and
will not every man Of them be Il Bank
President. or Bank Director, and
lionized as Great Financerer? Will
not every third man you meet be
gentleman Of leisure--a Nick. Bildle
of q man, with a thousand plans TO
make every body rich with rag money,
more abused than the aSouth sea bub-
ble,' and the Mississippi scheme1 !
II behoves each honest citizen who
wishes the stats well, to look to these
questions.
We think the very best interests Of
society level1ed at, BY this admirably
concoeted act which Is fresh from the
special committee room of the last
Democratic Legislature.
We call on the people, one and all
to look well TO this law; examine in
gross, as well as in detail, and you can
come to fio other conclusion than that
it is designed to throw you into bank-
ruptey at very early period. Is there
any man with half his senses about
him who will say that the possession
Of rag money will make him rich -
No, there is no value in it: and yet
any company Of five, may organize
themselves into a banking establish
ment in thirty days, and issue bills in
sixty, and discount "bills" notes, and
other worthless evidences Of debt, re-
ceive deposits Of other Bunkum banks,
buy and sell gold and silver bullion,
(when any can be found for SALE
shave their own notes, and deal in
foreign coins and bills Of Exchange.
The Banking Capital required by this
act, shall be, the bonds or evidences of
debt Of the United States; Or Of this
State, or the consolidated debt Of the
consolidated city Of New Orleans;
which shall be deposited with the
Auditor Of Accounts, and upon these
the Auditor shall give the depositor
well executed bills, with his own beau-
tiful autography. As the duty Of
signing will no doubt be ardious,
the Legislature has provided that the

lit Will save exchange. For further
security, "the plates, dies and materi-
ais procured by the Auditor for the
engraving and printing Of the circulat-
ing notes, as directed by this Act; shall
remain in the custody, and under the
direction Of the Auditor" What can
the people ask morea The plates and
dies after the Company has got as
many blanks as they want, are to be
deposited with the Auditor.
We have neither time or place to
give further notice to this abominable
act but call on each good citizen to
axafnine it well, and if you discover the
dangers in it that we do; come one
and all at once to the rescue Of Louis
lana, before she is as bloodless as d
turnip. The precedence Of "other
States can be no example for u.s.
Our State Is sparcely populated-has
peculiar institutions, and does not want
banking operations like New York,
unless it be to break up faro banks
aud other similar institutions. Select
good men and true for the coming
legislature as have some other
qualifications than 'sbellows-like lungs,
and eapacious wind-blalders. Select
"honest men, such as cannot be
