H0N.J0H2V C. HERBERT, of MARYLAND.
The high standing, moral excellence, and

^ iarty rancor; his age, long experience,
"Tadmitted integrity,—should conspire to in
the people of his State, with one heart and
.mind to unite upon him, as a most suitable
° P^sor to General Chambers, to represent
theStateof Maryland in the Senate of the Unit
^The writer is well aware that that State, like
. „.her states in the Union, is divided in politi
^ooinion-that “measures,” and not “men,”
c °made the “ rule of action”—that no sacn
fL whatever will be made upon the altar of pa
friotism: but that all must yield-art must suc
to party purposes and party feelings.
S such a state of things might be justified,
indispensably required, is freely admitted
"f’ questions and principles of great national
concernment deeply involved; but happily for
S. oeople of this enlightened nation, no such
condition at present exists There is no d.f

GAMBLERS.
t hive read the accounts which have been
published relative to the clearing out of the
Gamblers from Norfolk, and the burning of their
vJ instruments of fraud. Is Norfolk the only
place infested by these pests of society? Are
there none of them prowling about Alexandria.
Let them not be too secure. I pledge myself to
unite in having the law put in force against
them their aiders and abetters. \ oung men
shall not be ruined under my ayes, without an
effort on my part to save them and punish their
deceivers. This, for the present, will be enough
to show the gentry that they are watched.

MILITARY MEETING.
On Saturday, the 31st dav of May, after the
Regimental Muster, the Officers of the 60th Re
giment Virginia Militia met at the house of Mrs.
Draper, at Fairfax Court House: Lt. Col. Spen
cer Nl. Ball having been called to the Chair,
and Capt. Henry S. Millan appointed Secreta
tary, the following preamble and resolutions
were presented and adopted:
Whereas, by an act of the last Legislature,
(passed the 8th day of March, 1834, and enti
tled uan act for the better organization of the
Militia,”) the office of Brigade Inspector is dis
pensed with, the Officers of the 60th Regiment
deem it proper that they should express their
opinion in relation to the same. Therefore,
Resolved, That although they highly approve
of the general provisions of the act referred to,
that it is (in their opinion) inexpedient to abo
lish the office of Brigade Inspector; and that so
much of the aforesaid act as dispenses with the
the same, ought to be repealed.
Resolved, unanimously. That Major George
Beard and Capt. Henry S. Millan be a Commit
tee to convey to Brigade Major Henry Fairfax
the high sense entertained by this Meeting of
his qualifications as an officer, arid his gentle
manly deportment while associated with them,
and particularly for the very able and satisfac
tory manner in which he discharged the duties
of Brigade Inspector during their recent train
ing.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
S. M. BALL, Chairman.
H. S. Millan, Sec’y.
At a subsequent meeting of the Officers of
the 60th Regiment at Fairfax Court House, on
Saturday, the 2*2d of August, the above pream
ble and resolutions were again taken up and ap
proved. and the following additional resolution
adopted:
Resolved, That the Secretary forward a co
py of the above proceedings to the Editors of
the Alexandria Gazette and Richmond Whig,
w ith a request to publish the same.
The Editors of the Whig will please copy the
above from the Gazette. S. M. B., Ch’n.

.V) Religious Tests, in fixing Professional
. lent. The intense competition attending the
present crowded state of the Medical profession,
exhibits ait admirable variety of expedients for
attracting consideration and patronage. In
genuity, sharpened by necessity or stimulated
t»v ambition, seems to be taxed to its utmost in
devising means more showy and certain than
studious habits and trustworthy character,
whereby to attain the honors and emoluments
ot the successful physician.
There is still a great deal of marvelousness
among mankind, in regard to the practice of
medicine, and the doctor is quite as frequently
apphed to and confided in as a species ot conju
r**r as because he is considered a philosopher.
nW iT rff10" is diver‘i"g us from the
object °f it, which is to prepare our readers for
.rhih i°*mg c?n?U9,ecc,esiastical circular. It
exhibits a method of patient-getting. by extra
professional expedients, which is by no m^ans
in lts! ki"d> but entirely so. we believe ?n
the formal and extensive manner in which it
was attempted to be practised. Never before
have w-e known or heard of a printed handbid
being deposited in all the pews of a church
signed officially by two of the Deacons and sub!
mining it to the worshipers as a religious dutv

“ Boston, March 8th, 183 i.”
If the only object of this extraordinary do
cument had been to aid a worthy young physi
cian in securing a deserved notoriety, the mo
tive would have imparted a redeeming principle
to the act, and in a great measure disarmed cri
ticism, however objectionable the spirit and
execution of the measure. But such a benevo
lent purpose might have been answered without
the ungracious publicity attending an appeal to
the church. The two gentlemen had only to
recommend their protege among their personal
friends, and employ him themselves in example
| of the charitable duty they had undertaken to
inculcate. We are not a little surprised, howe
ver, to find that the piety of the gentleman re
commended has not been a passport to the fa
mily of either of the certifying Deacons, and
that for their own personal illness they both
continue to seek advice from other persons.
We need not go beyond the first sentence in
the circular to find another purpose clearly
disclosed, which is quite as discreditable as the
other one just referred to would be praisworthy
in the Deacons. No one can read that, keeping
in mind the sectarian tactics and technicals of
the day, without coming to thi3 understanding
of it. “ Whereas the unreserved and confiden
tial intercourse to which the physician is neces
sarily admitted, affords many excellent oppor
tunities to make or perpetuate religious impres
sions; and whereas we have fround Dr. Kit
tridge to be a man of piety, i. e. to profess the
same religious opinions and feelings which we
propagate, nothing can be more desirable than
that the society should support him as physi
cian, while the church has the advantage of his
domiciliary visitations as an exhorter and pro
pagandist.’ Herein is the whole mischief
of the transaction we are considering, that, al
though something is said m the circular respect
ing the gentleman’s medical character in a dis
tant place, his strongest claim there presented,
is his piety, which every one knows in this place
means orthodoxy, and his supposed readiness
to abuse the privileges of his profession to the
unworthy purposes of sectarianism. No man
should be trusted as a physician, or in any other
capacity, who does not maintain a character of
integrity and honor; but beyond this, his claims
for patronage should be made to rest altogether
on his scientific attainments, faithful observa
tion, and kind attention to the sick.
How absurd, to make orthodoxy or hetero
doxy a better passport to medical emoluments
than phisiological science; punctuality at the
conventicle, than perseverence in the dissecting
room,—the study of Dr. Watts, and the Mis
sionary Herald, than of John Hunter and the
Medical Magizme.
Such a method of determining the qualifica
tions of physicians, if generally introduced,
would put a stop to all improvements in their
art, by removing the principal stimulus to study
and investigation. Nor would its effects be less
unfavorable to their moral, than their medical
character. What a temptation to hypocrisy,
in the first instance—to mould opinions to that
form in which faith and thrift will be most like
ly to be associated, and afterwards to sanctimo
nious demeanor, cant and undignified proselyt
ism, all which tend to make a man despise him
self, and to undermine every noble quality of
character.
Sectarianism has in our day, assumed a new
and very mischievous trait of conduct. Form
erly, however obstinate and bitter, its influence
was observed only in ecclesiastical affairs, or
what are denominated spiritual concerns. But
now it has entered the circle of secular affairs,
with the absurd and wicked intention of regulat
ing alike the civil, social and domestic arrange
mentsof life by the application of religious tests,
and introducing among the various religious
denominations of our community, the same nar
row and anti-social relation which formerly ex
isted between the Jews and Samaritans.
The transaction which has occasioned these
comments is a bold manifestation of this design,
and we would further improve the opportunity
it presents, by exhorting our brethren of the
Medical profession, to resist and discountenance
the introduction of the exclusive system into
their department of dutv. All men should be
religious: but as few as possible religionists.—
All the duties and relations of life should be hal
lowed by the spirit of religion; but most of them
are only encumbered and they are too often
disfigured by it offices and forms. For these, as
for every thing else, there are “ times and sea
sons,” and appointed functionaries, which good
taste, as well as scripture precept admonish ua
to respect.—Rost. Medical Magazine.
