The Man.killer,

The most responsible calling a man can
choose is that of practicing medicine. Some
say the practice of the Law is equally res
ponsible 1t is not, and for reasons obvi
Gus. To the phys clan, men entrust thei,
Hres, while to the Lawyer they entrust only
their fortunes.
Il Lawyer, by his misnanagement, may
rob his client ola few dollars, which, in every
instance, is the ultimatum of damages but
physician, he be unqualified for his pro.
fesssion and consequently unsuccessful in
practice, not only defrauds his patient of a
portion of his estate, but actually robs him
of his life. $685..
The Legal profession may be the more in
tellectual-it is not the most practical and
consequently, responsible.
1t is true Law-monger may be bore,
but this is the worst you can say of him.
A Quack is certainly nuisance, and one
which should be abated by the pes end.

The Presidents Message IMhu-
m0nly Criticized.

After all the leniency Mr. Buchanan has
shown the Secessionists, the following re.
marks ofahe Augusta (Ga) CoSsEssIoNrsT,
are ungrateful, to say the least:
The President should have learned by
this time that ninety nine out of a hundred
runored instructions are pure fabrications;
that in the real ones, as John Browns, white
men are the almost sole participants, and
that the custom of Southern plantations is
to arm the negroes fas did Mrs. Johnson) to
catch the whites who attempt it. a. "a
His next argument is, that the South
should wait Tor dangerous covert act by
the new President, (of the North, and then
devo'es about the eighth of column to
prove that the President cannot do such an
act That is, there is no reason for killing
the coiled rattlesnake until it bites, or makes
dangerous attempt to bite /; but it cam
not bite any way, ergo, let the snake live
All? friend Buchanan we have seen the
eighty millions used to potently, in the last
four years, to be able to dcspise the
power of President as little thin; !;
and ifLincoln is helpless, we do not want
him, if h, is dangerous, we cannot save
him. -..
The venom yet rankles in the heart of the
old public functionary, who has always been
ruled by his prejudices; and not content with
dividing his party, by violating his Walker
Kansas pledge, and repud;atins the doctrine
of his inaugural and acceptance, to defeat an
old friend. he drags in the trite arguments on
territorial power to re-awaken the dying an
imosities among us, and repeatst the old false
hood, that the Supreme Court had decided
point which they do not even speak of.
