The American Medical Association,
Editors Of Chicago Tribune:
This is an organization Of the allopathic doc
tors Of the United States, formed many years
since, and which ia to hold its annual meating
IN this city in June next, most Of the principal
cities of the Union having at different times
received the like honor. Those assemblages
have heretofore been largely attended by the
most eminent members Of the profession from
all parts Of the nation, who hare personally
derived much pleasure from these gatherings,
aud ut the same time the science of medicine
has been influenced by the interchange Of
thonght between those thus brought together.
We are sorry to hear that the Southern press,
both medical and political, yiews the proposed
meeting IN this place with 6isfavor, asserting
that Chicago rests under the "odium" OF Re-
pnbdcanism, and predicting that no repre-
sentatiVes will be present from the seeding,
and but few from the border States. We fear
that these opinions are but too well grounded,
and trust that the physicians Of the Republ1-
can North viii put forth unwonted efforts in
order that the meeting Of the Association IN
this city may not fall behind those of former
yeaTs In interest and responsibility. The peo-
PIE Of the city should also exhibit to the
strangers who may come among us, those a.
tentions and that politeness and hospitality
for which On other other occasions they hare
merited and received 80 much praise.
