The inaugural N.ssace.

| The message OF His Exceency Gov Blair, is
tant degree the policy OF the general Legislation
OF the session. Is general tone is cautious and
prudent and will be heartily sustained by those
~ho dread the increase of State tsxation-it will
not meet in full, the viexs Of those citizens who
look 10 progressive policy in respect to State
Institutions.
That portion of The message which relates to
the financial condition Ct the State, opens with
an Injunction Of prudence and economy, and an
expectation TO provide f3r indebtedness.
Sinking Fund i. recommended, and is ably
and forcby urged. Tn message speaks in dis
couragement of the Interesting indebtedness Of
the State to the Trust funds, and deprecates the
continued practice of borrowing by the State
from the Eiucationa Funds The Governor
recommends the re investment in the Bonds to
the State or otherwi-e.
The message refers o the Indebtedness of the
State 10 the Countiel, and recommends that
i; be immediately extiiguished. This indebted.
ness is constructive. II arises through State
bids on lands deEnquelt for taxes, offered at the
annual October sales, iud bid in By the State
OF course the State is indebted nominally to the
several counties in which these lands are stu
ated, respectively and as fast as such State bids
are sold to private parties, the State becomes
actually so indebted, ni We do not understand
tha, there be any Dbli- alton Oh behalf of ,he
State, 10 pay over moIies SO TO be derived, in
advance Of their recept into the Treasury.
Another source Of state Indebtedness to coun-
ties arise from the decision of the Supreme
Court, compelling the Stste to remit to the Saut
Canal Company certain taxes, amounting to s5o,-
600, which of course ,ompels the State TO make
the same good TO the counties in which the land
upon which the taxes are so remitred are situ.

atoms from the Genenl Fund. II ~isaly urges

federation In Medicine

The practice Of medicine is Of necessi-
ty progressive It had its origin in the
necessities Of the race; and rose from
the most obscure and awkward begin
nings. The first practice is necessarily
empirical. Medicines are not used with
reference to any particular principle, but
because drug has been given in sim
liar cnsc with benefit, it is recommended
again. As the domain Of positive knowl-
edge becomes enlarged, new methods Of
cure, new remedies, and new doctrines
obtain and the old and less efficient be-
come obsolete and are laid aside. The
practice Of ten years ago is not that Of
twenty five years past, and the practice
Of ten years ago is not that to today
Yet all experience has shown notwith-
standing these facts, open and kno wn to
all men of reflection, that physicians arc
proyerbially intolcraDt of progress iD
their own art. Old school physicians
will mol see any good in Water Cure, or
in Homeopathy. Cures may take place
every hour all around them yet every pos
sibl. means is resorte1 to in order to eyade
their force. Homeopathic physicians
Justly complain of this intolerance aud
are yet Just as amcnable th0rnselves.-
DR.. HuMPuEEYs late PRoYEssoRs Of THE-
oaY and Practice in the HcNEoPATHIc
MEDICAL COLLEGE Of PHILADELPHIA, has
made the most remarkable improvement
of the age in the discovery and prepara-
ton of his Specific Homeopathic Rene
dies, which divcsts the Homeopathic
System of all intricacy and uncertainty,
and gives the people Specific Remedies
for almost all the ills to which they are
subject; yet the profession are far from
welcoming the new methed They ac-
knowledge the learning. genius, and
practical ability of Prof. II; but effect to
consider his talents and zeal misapplied
or perverted. Meanwhile HuMPHEEYs'
SPECIFICS are daily gaining currency aud
becoming household words " With the
people, and the profession will proba-
bly, remain uncouvinced until every bod
y around them has adopted the new
idea.
