SWARMlNs OF THE MEDICAL

CONSOLATION FOR THE SIt'K.

Considering the enormous number Of
NJ. DIS that our medical colleges turn
out every year, we certainly ought (if
there be any virtue in Irregular physick-

than we are. But the bills of mortality
do not shorten as the list Of ,loct,

we say, then, with Macbeth, Throw
physic to the dogs, I'll none oft -
No that will not do. Nature, when at

Such, however, is not the operation Of

complaints they unqncstionably work

this remedy within their reach, no man

Mr.. EDITOR

Mr.. EDITOR.
Sir: / had the pleasure Of attending
q meeting on the l4,h inst Of the Nor
thern Tama Agricultural and MechaEi-
cal association. After doing what bu-
sness that came before the meeting
and enrolling numher Of membe. $, an
interesting conversation ensued in re-
Luton to the relative value Of imported
and native animals. This subject be-
gins to attract the attention Of farmers
in this region. The question is asked
shall we cont,nnc to raise animals which
q. four years old will bring 20 dollars,
or shall we raise kind which a. the
same age will bring so dollars. At first
this question seemed easy to solve, and
so it would be ifman could be convinced
that such is the fact. Bnt large mum
Der of persons cannot believe that 4
grade animal will bring double in market
pound for pound that native will.
Hence the necessity of discussing this
question in order th It farmers may learn
that it is for their interest to encourage
the Introduction Of good stock, into the
county. And now allow me if you
please to make suggestion to the stock
growers Of Tama County, and that is
to hold a stock growers convention At
Toledo, say on the first Monday in
June next, fer the parpose Of forming a
Stock Importing Company and for an
Of IDEAS and to devise
means I" promote the Agricultural in
terest Of the County.

\ spirited and very interesting Union
meeting Of the citizens of Highland
township and vicinity was held at the
School House on Saturday evening
March 18th. Mr.. G. W. Motfstt was
called to the chair and 4. N. Poynccr
appointed Secretary.
The chairman in 4 few eloquent re.
marks presented the objects Of the
meeting.
Il Johnston, S. Strain ard Il. NJ
fp:neer were t.en appointed com.
nai'tee TO draft resolutions expressing
the views Of the meeting.
After listening 10 stirring appeals
from j. B. Merit, c. Mclaughlin aud
others the Committee reported the fol
lowing resolutions, which were unani
lnously adopted
Rcsolred, That il behoovcs all good
and loyal citizens, at this hour Of the
nations anguish, TO put forth their
physical and mental strength to the
utcrnio>t IN support Of the Chief Ma
4is;fate, and that any man who says or
does an-ht to block the wheels Of the
General Government at this time. is a
traitor to his country and his God, no
matter what his political sentiments
may be, and should be dealt with &C.
eordingly.
Resolres2, That if every man would
act up to his highest conceptions of
right at this jnncture in our national
affairs, instead of striving for place and
its emoluments, the present war would
speedily be brought to a close and Uni
,ersal libcrt, would be cmb!azoncd in
living letters Of light on our glorious
flag.
Reso!red, That we cannot fellowship
The sympathizers with treason, wearing
the mantle Of Democracy the better to
deceive, willie seeking to weaken, if not
to destroy the foundations OF the go
yernment.
Resolyed, That Ms we do not pretend
to be either great statesmen or military
men, we will not attempt to say what
means will soonest crush the rebellion.
but will lend ready and willing hand
TO whatever measures those in power
shall see fit to adopt, believing that they
know best and should be well supported
by every loyal man.
Resolved, That whether rebels in
arms deserve hanging or not, traitors at
home certainly do, and We arc in favor
Of having them elevated and extended
accordingly.
Resolred, That if The President can
do any good to the cause whatever by
susrending the Ilaheas Corpus, or by
shutting up notorious rebels and their
Coppcrhcad cousins in dungeons, we
are in favor Of his doing it, whether it
pleases the said rebels and their north
crn sympathizer or not.
Pesolrc0, That as necessary war
measure, we heartily approve the Presi-
dents late proclamation freeing the
slaves in the rebelious States, and in it
we recognize the time coming when the
industry and ingenuity Of a free people
will not be, confronted by the brutal
and devastating influence Of slavery
contending tor the mastery of capital
over labor in the new lands and virgin
soil Of the nation.
Rcsolue1, That as citizens OF Highland
township we heartily endorse the sen.
timcnts Of the above resolutions.
