THE TRUE PHYSICIAN.

The address Of DR.. John Upshur before
the Medical Society of Virginia was a
noble tribute to noble profession. The
practice Of medicine is a calling, as surely
so as preaching the gospel. and the doc

the preachers The man who enters this
profession with no higher idea than 10

true gentleman. He must also be 4 man
Of tender sympathies, a man who loves
humanity and is willing to make sacrifices
that he may relieve suffering and save
life
In his eloquent address, which we printed
yesterday, DR.. Upstur gave lis his idea
of the ideal doctor. and the picture which
he drew was the more interesting because
it was unconsciously "a portrait of him.

NORTHERN IGNORANCE.

The New York Commercial AdVeruser
In discussing the question OF negro SUI
frage in the Southern States. says:
The States where the negroes are dis
franchised are cursed with sodden mass
of humanity. continually sinking lower
and lower and becoming more poisonous,
like isolated colonies of criminal degener-
.ates: and yet other States flock to imi-
tate the course of action that breeds it.
They say they have no other course. and
we have learned by the futile experiments
of reconstruction not to dispute the ques-
ton with them. But surely this course
leads to a melancholy end.
The more the Northern newspapers dis
cuss this question the more they display
their ignorance. 1t is nonsense to say
that the negroes are worse in those States
where they have been disfranchsed than
in other Southern States. The ballot has
proven curse instead of a blessing to
the negroes OF the South. They have not
improved. but debauched. by the suffrage.
AS voters they have been the tools or
designing white men. who have used
them for purpose, and where they have
not been driven they nave been bought.
The negro's trouble has come to him
because he has aaused the right OF suf-
frage, and everybody who knows any
thing about it knows that that is true
If when the negro was set free the.
