That the evils which were anticipated as
an erect OF INNS law nave not Is
proven by the fact that the percentage of
cures ana OF cases s improved IN the Mr.

the history of this or other hospitals.
The superintendents are evidently ieal-

which my enem;es bove clondestinelv
circulated, with the most indefati-
gable assiduity, are FALSE reports,
viz: "That the law has proved a
failure in the States where it has
been passed" These false reports,
SO far as my knowledge extends,
have no other foundation TO stand
upon, than the uishes of such Super
intendents throughout the country,
who, as Governor Carpenter says,
"are evidently Jealous of theirpower,
and therefore, wish to defeat my
bills, lest their own crnel and inn
moral practices be exposed thereby.
These very unmanly and clandestine
attacks upon my measures, as we'll
as the sanity, virtue and mo .a!ity of
my own unstained character, de-
monstrates the source from whence
they come to be an EVIL source, con-
troled entirely by selfish considera-
ton, instead of the high gospel prin-
ciple, of doing to others as you
should wish Others to do to you.
