mainder by letter.

The annual course of study in the Worces-
ter Medical CEclectic) Institute, commenced
on Thursday 2nd instant Professor Burn
ham delivered the Introductory lecture, in the
anatomical room of the College on Sabatab-
scot Hill;
large number of ladies and gentleman
were present and seemed to appreciate the
learned and interesting discourse to which
they had the pleasure of listening. Prayer
was offered by the Rev. Mr. Adams of this
city.
Professor Burnham paid high tribute of
praise to the late President of the Institute,
DIR. G. Newton.
He eulogized him as man, scholar,
physician, medical reformer and as philan-
thropist. He said Professor Newton had often
characterized the Medical Institote as his on
ly child; and had declared his intention to be-
queath his fortune to it; but the suddenness
of his illness and death had prevented the
disposition of his property which he contem-
plated.
Professor Burnham said the principles of
the Eclectic School were those of truth and
progress He entered into learned and elab-
crate defence Of the system taught at the In
stitute which had been assailed by every Old
line School of medicine in the country, The
address of was very ableand it was well de-
livered.

FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1854.


Great excitement prevails in Rhode Island,
~ Fslan0n 70 hill which has just passed the
legislature Of that State, annulling and revers-
ing the Judgment Of the Supreme Court, by
winch Thomas w. Dorr was convicted of trea-
Npn' ana sentenced 70 imprisonment for life
Judgment sthespenalties of which Mr..
borr was afterwards relieyedb by act Of the leg
islature. The bill requires that the clerk of
the Court should write 'sannulled9 across the
tsce Of therecord. Is ssas ts
The idea, that the legislature Of a State can
annnlor reverse the Judgment of the highest
court, is certainly a novel one, and one that
wialsnOt be likely to extend beyond Rhode
Island, unless, indee4, Gne ,repudiators of Mis-
sissippi take it up, For our part we cannot
see why the friends of Mr.. Dorr are so sensi-
tive on this subject, or what they should ex-
pect to gain by the measure they have adopt
ed. The Judgment of a court can be annulled
On reversed only by the court itself, or by
court of higher jurisdiction. The legislature
Is not such court, and has no appellate power.
If it had, it could rightfully reverse a iudg-
ment, only after hearing of the case The
procedure IS, therefore, clearly extra judicial
and extra Legislative, and amounts to nothing
more than a declaration, that the present leg
islatare does not agree in opinion with the
court. s o 8 s
The absurdity Of the position, that the leg
islature may override or reverse the decision
Of the Supreme Court, is made more palpable
by the consideration, that the Court is made,
by the constitution, the judge of the acts of
the legislature itself, and may set aside any
law, made by it, for unconstitutonahty
To us, the assumption that the legislature
may, many way whatever, interfere with the
records Of the Supreme Court, which is a CO.
ordinate branch Of the government, to annul,
to alter, or change then appears monsrous
In itself, and in its Consequences, dangerous
TO the rights of the citizen, and subversive of
the safeguards Of liberty. It's one which the
protested friends Of popular rights should be
the lastt favor. a9s a 9
How much more manly and dignifed it
would be, how much more consonant with a
feeling Of conscious recttude, to leave the
matter to the impartial Judgment of the fu-
tare. That Judgment cannot be changed by
any such measure as the legislature has push
edsthrough, nor does that measure relieve Mr..
Dorr Of his friends Of any present grievance,
liability, Or disqualification. They therefore
gain nothing by it. Two wrongs can never
make a right, and it appears to us that the
extreme measure, adopted by the legislature,
VIII never receive the sanction of wise and
just men, whatever they may think of the acts
that preceded and gave rise to it.
