Kansas Meeting.

now being hunted by the Border Itulliaim on
a charge of high treason, will address the

Tuesday evening, July 1 5tb.
Laboring Men's candidate.
Some persons pretend to object to Fremont
because he is not a politician because he
has never been a brawling party leader, or a
cunning wire woikcr. Such persons believe
that otlice seeking is an honorable business,
and would vote for a drone of this character
in preference to a man who has been content
to devote his lime, talents, and eneigy to the
public good, uninfluenced by those selfish mo
tives and petty ambitious aims so common
among politicians. Fortunately for the pub
lie gcoi, this class of persons is limited to a
few who follow the business of office hunting,
while the great mass of the industrious peo
ple take pleasure in elevating worthy men
from their own ranks.
These two classes of persons are well rep
resented by Fremont and Buchanan. The
last named gentleman has always been a pol
itician, his aim always being fur office, to se
cure which be has ever been willing to stand
upon any platform selected for the occasion.
No other person could be found in the entire
country, who would so cheerfully lend him
self to the support of any measure presented,
and who would say "I am no longer James
Buchanan," but a tool for the politiciins who
can serve themfelves by using me. This is
bis trade of such is his history.
How different is the caso with Fremont.
The son of a widow, his catly years were in
ured to hardships, and although a liberal edu
cation was his fortune, fur it he was more in
debted to industry than wealth, and his con
dition in life stimulated a thorough acquain
tance with those branches cf learning which
could be put into immediate practice and en
able him to secure an bcnorablo livelihood
by the sweat of his blow. II is l.istoiy is too
well known to the people to re quiro a repeti
tion at our hands. Under all circumstances,
in every Geld of labor to which hu has been
called, his ability has more than (quailed the
important duties devolving upon him. As
a politician, his career bus bun brief, but
quite long enough to establish, two facts.
First All parties unite in attiibuting the
adoption of a free constitution by California
to his influence, and therefore none can doubt
Lit devotion to freedom in opposition to slnverv.
Second It is equally evident that his sup
port of the free constitution of California lost
for him a seat in the United Stales Senate.
Had he been willing to have been " iio longer
John C. Fremont," but merely a tool for de
signing men, he might to-day hold a seat ou
the flour of the Senate. But he was no pol
itician, nothing but an honest, indutrious, and
talented man, devoted to right without refer
ence to its leward Another fact is here es
tablished, to wit: that with him, duty to the
public has precedence over self-advancement.
With this state of facts before the people
there can be no doubt a to which of the two
candidates is most dejerving of the support
cf the laboring people of the country. Right
well do they understand this subject, and al
ready they are beginning to give demonstra
tions of their devotion to Freedom and. Fre
mont, Suoh is the case in Mount Vernon,
where) the it lelligent employee of Messrs.
Coopers A Clark, extensive engine, car, and
locomotive manufacruren, havo erected a flag
over their extensive machine shop, with the
words Fre mont and Dayton inscribed upon it.
Wc know these men, and they are eminently
fit to head the column of industrious freemen
who are resolved npon placing Fremont and
Jessie in the White House.
Important from Washington.
The wheels of legistatiun, on the Kansas
question, are now fairly hitched. Tho House
refused to pass the bill to admit Kansas as a
free Stale, with the Topcka constitution, on
Monday of last week, by a majority of one.
Ou the following day, Mr. Barclay, of Pa.,
moved to reconsider the vote, which was car
ried by 101 to 97. After much wrangling
and sparring, the bill was passed by 100 to
97. Mr. Mott, representative from this dis
trict, left his room in New Yoik, where he
has been confined fur eight weeks, to aid in
the final passage of the bill. Herbert had
been indicted lor the murder of Keating and
was cor fined in jail, while Payne (South
American) was absent without having paired
off. These changes saved the bill.
While th.se proceedings were going on in
the House, the Senate was busily engaged in
the discussion of Douglas' Kansas bill, and
after a protract d session on Wednesday night,
the final vote was taken and stc od yeas 33,
nays 12.
Ihe Fillmore and Buchanan men joined
hands in th:s struggle, but in the popular
branch the Republicans were too much for
them.

ToUtlo Commercial.
The writer of the foregoing sentence has
been altogether misinformed. We happened
to be present at the meeting alluded to, and
prjsume the informer had reftrence to the re
maiks mi.de by Dr. Conant.who said, in sub
stance, that no perEon coull deliver a Fourth
of July oration, fit lo be called tuch, without
being denounced as a black Republican, and
for his part he had no desire to participate in
a celibrrtion where it would not be proper to
speak of freedom, liberty of speech, and the
sacredness of the ballot-box. We don't won
der that those who sustain the atrocious acts
of the present administration, and seek to per
petuate its career by the (lection of Buchan
an, oppose every effort to renew in the hearts
of the people those sentiments of freedom and
f qualiiy which are so fully and forcibly por
trayed in the Declaration of Independence,
and which were so well sustained by the pa
tiiotio friends of freedom in that day. The
signers of that declaration of freedom, like
the advocates of freedom in Kansas, were in
dicted fur high treason, andjcould they have
been captured, hemp would have been stretch
ed by them, as it now is in Kansas, for enter
taining and uttering tVe same sentiments.
tW The bill for improving the mouth of
the Mississippi river, the St. Clair Flats, and

J9The Republicans of Maine hove nom

Mr. II. has always acted with the Democrat
ic party, but the Cincinnati platform was too
much for him, and therefore he publicly
avowed, in his place in the Senate, that he
could no lender act with that party.
Fillmore, in his Albany speech, advi
ses the South, in the event of Fremont and
Dayton's election, to withdraw from the Un
ion. He thinks it too much to ask them to
submit to the rule of the majority, provided
that majority favors freedom. When some
men arc in the pit, they are out of humor
with every body in the dresi circle!

I jrHon Wm. Stanberry, of Newark, a
j leading Tr mble man last year, is now ou the
I slump for Fremont and Dayton.
' Juhn Iirough, formerly a leading Dem
! ocrat of this county, and editor of the inqui
rer, at a ro.ilical meeting in Indianapolis last
week, made the following significant remarks :
' I thall not attempt to make a speech at
this time, even a democratic speech, for the
reason that if I should now beio where I
left off twelve years ago, my speech might be
too much of a free soil speech, or it ungiiinoi
be at perseut un orthodox democratic speecU.
Mr. Brough, like thousands of others who
ire denouncod by ihe Enquirer and other
papers as " r negades," stands where he did
twelve years sgo, but the party that now
calls itself democratic, has fuisaken the prin
ciples, leaving all true men who bear thut
name high and dry. Cm. QaztUe.
The Lancaster (Fa.) Exprta, a Demo

Female Physicians.
It is but few years since public attention
was first called to the propriety of establish
ing Modical Collegia foor wmen, and the ut
terance of a conviction of its necessity was
sufficient to call down torrents of abuse ;
wlich particularor feature still exists, though
in a comparatively limited degree. Man
kind have for so long axtime been taught to
believe that woman Kas created merely for
kitchen and nursery purposes, that an in
novation upon (his belief and (he general cus
tom founded upon it, very naturally excited
the condemnation of Ihe thoughtless, as well
as those who had been taught to think as
did their fathers, back to the first genera
tion. Necessity is said to be tho mother of in
vention, and it may with equal truth be
quoted ns the source from whence all the
powers of woman ore to be developed. Her
powers of patitnt endurance, christian forti
tude, and all those jewels of virtue which
adorn and elevate a true christian, have
been thoroughly developed and moat strin
gently tested, holding good to the last ; un
til she is more fieely acknowledged by man
to be vastly his superior in all the finer graces
of social life. Still, it is contended by many
that for all these excellent traits of character,
she is more indebted lo nature than to rea
son that they are instinctive qualities which
she cannot avoid, while man only acquires
them by the exercise of bis superior judg
ment and industry. Wc cannot pause here
to dissi ct this error.
It is but comparatively a short time since
woman has been allowed to enter tho field
of literature, as author, and we have no works
of distinction from female pens dating prior
to Ihe nineteenth century. The kitchen and
the nursery was then strictly her field of op
eration, and the firm iron wall of tyrannic
opinion kept her within this (ncloture rneie
ly as nn instrument created by God for man's
happiness and to perpetuate his specios. A
gieat change has taken plac ? since tho'e
days. Woman now takes her position in the
front rank of authors, and well does she
sustain her part. Indeed tho production of
Harriet Btecher Stowe, " Uncle Tom's Cab
in," has been read and admired by more
persons than any bock cf the present age
which had its origin in the brain of one of
the lords of creation." So complete has
been woman's triumph in this field of use
fulness, that not one among all the old fogies
can now be found who wouTd consent lo abol
ish the privilege which has been granti d her
to use the press. Indeed, should this privi
lege be withdrawn, the literatuie c f the pres
ent day would be gloomy and sterile as a
bachelor's hall.
With these facts, and a thousand others
b( fore us, how can we reaf onably object to
woman's education in the usi ful ns well as
the ornamental ? She has entered upm no
duiies without success, and all her efToil
have brought honor upon her head. There
can, then, be no haim in letting her reach j
still beyond the limits now prescribed, if iu-1
deed man has the right or Ihe power lo giant ;
these privileges. j
We remarked thnt nt cestity was the sourco j
from whence woman would develop herpow- '
en. i be disposition of man to grasp i fu r
wealth, even at the sacrifice cf the heahh,
happiness, and lives of ir.nocent and almost
helpless fjmales, has compelled them to open
unto themselvi s the door3 of general useful
ness which have for centuries been closed
aga'nst them. Such is now her pot i ion, tha
poor woman is the most completely help
less of all earthly being3. Society confines
so many of them within such a small sphere,
thai they can each have but liltlo to do, and
such is the competition that the pay would
not keep them comfortable could they be
employed constantly. To be respectable in
the eyes of community, she must conform to
certain rules of dress, which her position en
tirely fuibids, and therefure she resorts to
vice, crime, and every conceivable device for I
that appearance in dress which is more pleas- j
ing in the eyes of community than a virtuous
and honest heart. j
Every philanthropist, thcrjfjro, nrutYii

Hence we have watched with much interest!
and satisfaction the growth of the Female
Medical College of Pennsylvania, located at
Philadelphia. Through the politeness of the
faculty, we have received the Seventh Annual
Announcement, for the Session of 185G-67.
The catalogue of students, the remarks
of the Dean, and the appeal of the Corpora
tors, all give evidence of encouraging scccess.
The Dean says :
" The demand for well educated female
physicians is increasing rapidly, and eveiy
ttliere a high and honorable rank in the pro
fession has been readily accorded to all who
prove themselves worthy of it. Our desire is
not lo publish annually a lung libt of gradu
ates, but lo have thos,c who do go forth as
the alumnce of this school, so thoiuughly fit
ted for their otlice as to claim uud receivo at
once the confidence und respect of the com
munity and the- profession.
" The curriculum of study in this institu
tion, and tho requirements of candidates lor
graduation, are in nil respects as high as
those of the best medical schools iu this coun
try. The Faculty aim to raise, not to lower,
the standard of medical attainment. It is
their constant desire to be able to add to the
moral, scientific, and intellectual dignity of
the prufession; and they must earnestly pro
test against licensing the ignorant or other
wise unqualified of either sex lo astsumt) its
office and responsibilities. ,
The accommodations fur boarders in Phila
delphia are. unk.iipabsrd by thoso of buy oil er
city in the Union ; and ihu Dean will t..ke
plcasuiu in procuring comfortable, boai ding
houses fur tuch students as may request Imn
to do to. They will be thus enabled to re
pair immediately to their homes on arriving
in the city.
The seventh annual session will commence
on Wednesday, October 1st, 1856, and con
tinue five months.

We give the "Appeal of the Corpora
tors " (nlire, as it is brief, pointed, and of in
terest in th department of this new field of
usefulness just being opened to woman :
The Corporators of the Female Medical
College of Pennsylvania, appeal to the friends
of humanity in behalf of this Institution and
the cause it represents. They regaid the
medical education of woman ns a necessity cf
the age, and a way-mark of the advancement
of n refined civilization.
They find the demand for female physicians
wide-spread and increasing, and regard the
study and practice of medicines as peculiarly
adapted to the nice per-epth ns of womnn, and
the tenderness and refined graces of her na
ture. They consider that woman, as a wife and
mother, pie-eminently needs a clear under
slantling of the functions of the human b dy j
ana tne means oi preserving health ; and thai.
high-toned nnd intelligent female physicians.
from their relations to their sex, must be most
important insttnmentalities in impattin? such
knowledge, where it is most needed and will
do the must good.
It is well known that there is a vast amount
of suffering among women, which is h it with
out relief from the shrinking delicacy of its
victims, nnd it is therefore a demand of hu
manity that woman should be put in posses
sion of the riquisite knowledge to administer
the required treatment in such cases.
They also desiro a scientific education for
woman, because it will furnish her with hon
orable and prli table employment giving her a
new sphere of usefuluess and happiness,
where duty nnd the sympathies of her nature
lead her; in ihe chambers cf the sick and
suffering.
Feeling, therefore, that this is a grcntrairse
intimately connected with the improvement
and happiness of society, they appeal lo gen-!
erom and tiue men and ivumcn for aid und
co-operation.
Philadelphia is peculiarly adapted to the
locution of a ci Ilece of this charae'er. It is
the seat of medical learning iu America, nnd
facii'ries for a medical education l.e-re. nie
superior to those of any o.her ci'y on Ibis
The College has firmly nnd bravely out-
lived tho opposition and difficulties that al
ways attend new enterprises, and especially
innovations upon time honored usugt s and,
after six years of tiial, it nny, we think, f iir
lv claim to be an established medical school.
The Professois have lnboied with much self
denial and great pecuniary sacrifice ; for it is
well knon, that in the ear y years of an in
stitution like this the expenses must b great
er than the receipts from the students. The
burden of these expenses has heretorore
been borne by a generous few, but the cor
porators believe the t'lne has now fully arriv
ed when they may call upon alt th i liiemlsof

A.v Example for New Yoiik Capitalist!
Louis Napoleon has purchased "U his own
account n large lot of ground ti'h'.eeiii
square meters fronting on the Boulevard
Mazes, in tin- Faubourg St. Al.toie. This
ground is divided into lots, on which houses
will be built nt l is expense. The two main
objscts to be had in view in their construc
tion are comfort for the occupants and cheap
ness for the purchasers ; for ns fast as the
buildings are completed they will be sold at
auction the purchaser, doubtless, binding
himself to the fulfillment of reasonable con
ditions in the interest of the tenants. The
purpose of the experiment is tu offer tangible,
visible proofs to capitalists that they can in
vest their money profitably in comfortable
dwellings for workmen, nnd lhat workmen
may be better lodged and at less prices than
at present. Vacant lots will be ceded at cost
price to persons who will engage lo build
within a certain lime and in conlurmny to the
geneia) plan of the block.
Wiiich h Which. A very curious instance
uf coulusion has taken place in a family in
Ainany. A mothernnu her daughter were
confined on Ihe same day, each having a litle
son. In the confusion of the moment both
babies were placed i.i one cradle, and to the
consternation of the mothers, when the
youngsters were taken from the cradle, they
were unable lo tell which was the mother's
and which was the daughter's son a matter
which, of course, must ever remain a myste
ry. The family is in great distress over the
atfair ; und if these buys are ever able to tell
who their fathers are, they will never be
smart enough to designate their mothers.
Death fkom the Bits of a Rattle Sneke
Mr. Henry Davis, Jr., of Bullock county,
(Geo.) was bitten by a large rattlesnake
while walking a few hundred yards fiom his
house one day hist week and died from i s
effects. He was bitten in the fe.renoon, nnd
was not found for some time after, when he
was so near death as to reudc-r all remedies
unavailable. After he was bitten he corded
his leg with his suspenders, and then killed
the reptile. Ho proceeded towards his house
a short distance, and, finding that he could
go no further, hung his hat upon a bush und
lay down, where be was found. He was
much respected, and has left a wife and some
five or six children and numerous friends to
mourn his loss. Georgian.

The article which follows, we think con
tains a very profitable lesson, for almost
every one : and hope it will be perused by
our readers : and that each one will give It
a candid hearing. We know not the pin-,
ion of our readers ;; but it appears to u, lo
be a subject of great importance, for air is
essential to the animal Bystim to sustain life ;
nnd if the air is not pure, it will produce
disease, and disease will eventually cause
death.
This subject has held a prominent place
in our minds fur some time past j and con
templated the preparation of on article on
the same ; but the following from Miss
Beecher's Letters to the peoplu on Health
nnd Happiness, so nearly meets our views
that we adopt it in preference to any we could
wiite at this time :
This topic tnkes the lead of all others in
importance and difficulty. The fact that the
Greeks live mot of the year out-doors, and
that in their houses they never breathe any
but p ire air, gave them an advantage in de
velopintr the beauty, strength, nnd henlth of
their chihlien, which it would be difficult to
secure with our climate and habits. And the
steady and equable climate of the old coun
tries, which has led their inhabitants to out
door life, nnd thus to rtcuuire vigorous con-
KtJ'ul'Ons. gives them nlso a great advantige
" .
.ufc IHV.-U um uuncumes, can ue rnei anu
overcome.
Every man who is a householder should be
sure that every member of his family breathes
pure air, tot onh all day but all night, by this
simple arrangement : Iu every room of his
house let at least one window be let down at
the top two inches, and one door havs nn
opening of two inches over ihe top. Let this
be done in such a way that no person can al
ter it. For if ventilators are fixed so that
they can be closed, they will be, in the ma
jurity cf cases, by the ignorant, or limid, or
lulsely economical.
A house thus arranged will rrouire more
fuel to warm it, but the additional expense of
mis win not. De a tenth part of that which

consequent on the debility and disease always

Iu a house thus arranged, stoves though
less healthful than open tires would s:ill be
tar lss injurious than they now are.

It hi s been shown that every pair of lungs

Toe-popular objections to niht air are, thai
it is cold, or damp, or l eaded i.h unuealih

III CJUise, where lungs arj diseased,
any ex.. "ernes in temperature ninst be avoid
ed. As to unheiiltl.fiil miasmata in the night
air, nothing can be w orse than ihe exhalations
of decaying bodies, as sent forth from ihe
lungs and skin of sleepers. It is prcisedy the
same evil as is found in proximity to giave
yards and decaying carrion. The effluvium
from the lun s and skin is precisely the same
as lhat from carrion, only mure diluted by the
atmosphere. Those who have entered the
pent-up sleeping room of persons who do not
wash their skins or breathe a pure air, very
well understand the close resemblance.
In ihe summer season, while vejgetalion is

all the
ttHuvia of decaying vegetation at any pe
uf theyenr, are never so effective in des
eeriod
estroy-
ing the healthliilne-s of the air around our
dwellings, as the lungs of the inhabitants
within them.
Let it also be crnsidered that tho air we do
breathe unless the bouse is air tight, which
no house can be must be night air, more or
less mixed with the portion which has been
breathed over nnd over again through the day
and evening. So thatevery body eoe breathe
night-air, or what is worse.
These things are presented in ordor to re
move that baleful prejudice and fear that so
many ignorant persons indulge toward their
best friends, pure air and water.
To return : let every person who has charge
oi a lamiiy make some sure arrangement thus
to secure to every person in their house an
abundence of pure uir for their lungs and skin
both by day and night, and the grand cause
that, above all others, isgardually deteriorat
ing the vigor, health, and beauty of the
American people, will disappear.
Add to thin, appropriate care that all tho
scojI rooms iu the land have the same ar
rangements made lo provide pure air for the
pupils. Keep the tops of thw windows down
belli in the winter and summer, and pay for
tile increase of fuel instead of Ihe doctor and
grave-digger. In every community whero
there are colleges and seminaries, as well as
the public schools, there ought to be inspect
ors appointed, the same as other civil officers,
to go around and see whatever any parent or
teacher is poisoning the rising generation willi
impure air, Ob, how many families, nnd
schools, and. boarding establishments, have
i
come within mycucut La which this evil, even
to this hour, is perpetuated I
No parents, no guardians' of the young,
should cyer retire to rest till fully assured
that every one under their care is furnished
wifh the full supply of pure air for the night.
Anil nil employers, in all kinds of business,
should bt taught that they are committing a
great sin against the life and welfare of ihose
they employ, if they force them lo labor in
impure air. Every minister of the gospel
should, in the first place, take care that his
own spiritual concerns, and those of his hear
ers, are not checked and interrupted by brnina
stupified by bad air ; and ne xt, he should
teach his people their obligations in this mat
ter, Loth to themselves and all under their
care. The physician, too, is especially bound
to use all his influence is a community in the
same direction.. , T
