MEDICAL COLLEGES IN MEN: YORK.


The regular winter sessions of the Medical Colleges
in this City were commenced last week under very
favorable auspices, and with indications that they
viii be each more numerously attended ouiing the
present winter than ever before. This City is justly
distinguished place for medical instruction, and
we propose to give short sketch Of the institution,
established for this purpose.
The frat Medical College in New York, which was
the second in America, foundedin 1867 by KINGS
now CoLUMBIA) College as department of that IN
stuton. Its faculty then constituted OF SIX pro-
fessors who had been duly graduated as doctors OF
medicine at colleges in Europe The first medical
graduation took place Nov. 3, 1863, when two stu
dents Samuel Kisssm and Robert Tucker, received
the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, which degree Is
not now in use in this country They were sub
sequently graduated as Doctors of Medicine, Mr.
Tucker in l770 and Mr.. Nissan in l71ll; and their
names are the only thus mentioned in the cata-
lorue, although before l775 ten others received the
former degree. All the professors continued IN once
until l776, when on account OF the war; the College
uas discontinued, and its edifce converted into
military hospital. In ASA the College was reorgan-
lied. and the medical department was reestaoi'hed
in 17s bv the appointment OF five professors, but II
does not appear to have been fully in operation again
until 1892 There were graduates until 1873, anu
as an interesting contrast CT that period with TINS we

The COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AsD sukSLoss
was chartered on the eth March 1907, by the Re
gents Of the University of the State Of NeT'lo OK
according to an act Of the Legislature OF March 81
1871. Professors were soon appointed and the nrs'
session was held in the winter Of l5o7-s. The Coz
lege which was opened in Robinson-st then eons'o'
cred central part of the City, afterward held its ses
sors in small twostory house in Pearst, near the
Hospital which is still standing. The sessions at fhs
period lasted four months and the classes numbered
from 50 to 20 members. In lsos, the Legsis'ue
granted $50 900 to this College. Its faculty continued
the rival of that Of Columbia College with no sres'
advance, until 1913, when a coalition was happily ei'
fected between these two schools and thus this col
lege became the only seminary Of medicine In New
York and in point Of sge, the fourth in the mon

THE VALUE OF THE UNION.

To the Editor of The ~ Y Tribune
SIR: have been pleased with the position taken
by YOUR New.IIayen correspondent and think the
reasons for the separation Of the free from the
slave States are so obvious that ! am surprised
thcy have not commended themselves to the con
sideratou of northern statesmen more iorclblS
than they ever appear to have done.
Our southern friends, born and educated under
the Influences Of Slavery, have come to look upon
it with favor, and in many cases they fully believe
il one of the wise and mcrcful dispensations OF
Providence. There is no doubt OF the Tact thai
many very beautiful relations exist between tho
master and the slave; and it may also be admitted
think, that slaves as n class, are as well and a'
.happily placed as the very poorest class OF whitt
mon in free countries 1t may also be a question
whether the smaller amount of energy, enterprise
and industry in the negro character will not al
ways give commanding superiority to the white
man over him, making the relation between then
necessarily that of master and servant. All thi'
being admitted, | cannot perceive any reason why
an honest and honorable white man should consid
er himself at liberty fOrcby to condemn the un
willing services of the negro. Still less can per
ceiye any valid excuse for the very savage an'
lunmercifu system of laws respecting SLAYER.
which southern lawyers and judges admit their
to be- but which they assume are absolutely nee

eryation of the peace and good order of society

TO FUGITIVE. SLAVES AND THEIR
FRIENDS.

We desire to demonstrate in the kindest spirit,
against the custom which is becoming very common,
Of writing letters from Canada, and from places in
the Northern and Eastern States, to free colored
persons residing South, on matters touching tugi-
tves who have made good their escape. Letters
are frequently sent from fugitiyes Themselves, who
have left perhaps wives or children behind bog
ging that means may be adopted to favor their cs-
cape also. When it is remembered that the Gus
tom is very general at the South, and in some
places uniform to open all letters addressed 10 coiored
pe1sons; !; and when, as it frequently happens,
persons are called upon TO finish work which
they Lad no hand in beginning it will be seen
how easily father or husband will be snatched uT
by the law, and, on mere Suspicion, made to drag
out tedious and miserable imprisonment Fugt
hre friends, hate no letters 'criHen South. Youi
thoughtlcss act may break up forever the happi
ness of many family, besides preventing Others
yet slaves, from eAecting their escape. We hop'
that our advice will be made known to all inter
ested, especially to those who are unable to rcaC
this caution; and that papers friendly to the op
pressed will give this warning general circulation

was ut is phrase usually employed to describe

But why do they describe it in that way?" was
her inquiry. The answer may be worth giving to

Again and again was the affair carried into the
courts till in the year l7G0, when George the III
came to the crown, the Lord Chancellor Of Englant
made decision but new difficulties sprang up in
drawing the boundary lines. The commissioners
finally employed Messrs. Mason and Dixon, whC
had Just returned from the Cape of Good Hope

1t seems to me cmincntly proper that the FIRST born
of the ordinance Of 1887, should take the lead in
opposing this tide of southern aggrcssion and sla-
very prUpagandsm, encouraged by recent triumphs,
and now rendered arrogant and confident of success
by northern treachery, leaving the free States ne
alternative between resistance and submission and
humiliation. No doubt this is but the fret of O

naturalization and extension into every region pro

Gentlcmen have delayed replying to your

leave home The severe illness Ofmy wife precludes
however, any hope Of my doing so.
But my heart and head are with you in your eff
forts for freedom and against slavery. Your Con-
venton is an important movement ii IL should
place itself right before the people, Ohio is safe
If wrong, Ohio is lost and with Ohio the cause
itself
The tricksters who, in this State, are Douglas
friends, and also the friends Of his nefarious Ne
brnska substitute, are very lean minority of the
people of Ohio. The radical democracy has had
them upon the hip several times but they have
been taken generously back into the fold. They
rely for upon their great tact and persever
ing management; but their great elements of sue
cess tho periodical drowsness Of the people, and
the errors Of their enemies.
They are the 4" birds of prey" in Ohio, and they
watch with the eyes of yultures every step Of
those they instnctyely know to be their opponents.
Your Convention will either seal their doom, OF
give them long lease of power
Let be distinctly avowed that in this falls con
test no one of the advantages gained to the peo
pie by the Constitution of Ohio shall be put Al
issue, that none Of the ''obsoete" Wing measures
shall be revived that there is to be no restoration
no "recedng"-in short, that freedom, democ
racv, Justice, equality and public faith to ever,
part OF the United States Constitution, are to b.
the principles and to them shall be the vic tory, an'
not to any former party.
May lie who 'tempers the wind to the shorl
lamb" and who promises that the integrity o
the righteous shall guide them, give to your delib
erations that direction which will give success L
the cause of humanity and and right.
Very respectfully yours,
