The House, it, though lamentably so, is divided against it* -i- self; and we have gloomy forebodings that of unless the spirit of patriotism which anij mated our rulers in the p:dmier days of the Republic, is soon to commence the noble ,j._ work of concession and reconciliation, that (j the Constitution?which should command - ? - ly vuvi^uv.i. mm I unpin; rcvcieillX III Hie IIVJITI ("v of every American chiton?will he dismank.(> lied, stripped of its authority, ami displaced rs hy the dark reign of confusion and nnarar u':,y"Is there no halm in Gilead ?

We an-j swer tiiat. the South has the remedy, and I nothing is wanting to maintain ln-r rights, "* to perpetuate the Union, and save her from v political degradation, but the strong nerve and stern patriotism to administer it.

The legislative history of the past, affords ; ^ numerous instances in which division at the Sotiih has enabled the North to foist antii; j I Soutucrn measures upon us; and future history will rjcord the party contests of the present Congress as another instance in which the division of the South enabled c Norther.i Frecsoilism to elect an Abolition in Speaker, who, from his pledge to pack commil tees favorable to the views of his party. ,.c coupled with his cxtrciii'Miltraism upon the OUcStion of slaverv. vnnlil ?. palm upon us an odious system of measures ^ which could but result in consequences most disastrous to tins Union, lint for the political antagonism of Southern ll>-presentatives, the House could have organized the ttr>t day of the session, and thus saved $100,000 of the people's money, and six weeks of vain and profitless discussion. IL When shall we take lessons of wisdom from the teachings of experience? How long will the thirty Southern Know-Xothr" in-^s stand as opposing harriers to the ?r*'? ijanization of the House? What stupid rt folly, when the Northern wing of their party ~~ lias repudiated them and gone kith and r" kin for Frecsoilism, to stand isolated, and v though in a hopeless minority, to do biltlc >s with a pertinacity worthy of n belter cause, to defeat tlie only party upon which the South could rely with any assurance: of upL'r holding tlie Constitution. ^ We would not maintain that even Doit.l)' lass and other Northern Democrats who assisted to pass the Nebraska Bill, anil who arc now acting with the Democrats of the s.

The necessities demanding such an organization as that recently formed in this District, under the name of "The Medical Society of Abbeville , District," must be apparent to everyone I who will give the subject a moment's I thought; and that such an association, with ! the faithful performance of duty on the i part of its members, miut exert a healthful 1 influence upon tlie interests of the Piofcsl sum, ami l<o productive of real, substantial ! % , 1 Ii'tli-flt to lint luiinmnii!'" t ? - ' 1 ; J "O* ' ! Iv obvious; ami yet, our membership com* j pared with the number of practitioners in the l)i.->trict, exhibits a degree of apathy which every Physician should blu<h to own, an>l which might well abate the confidence i of all in a class of tnen thus indifferent to interests, to the advancement of which they | arc virtually pledged. L>:t no physician : suppose that he is not specially interested [ in this matter, for every one is identified | with the Profession, and lie can neither iso' late his interests nor limit his duty : iiniiiui tabic principles hletid the former with those I of his brethren, and the latter is indclliMy i i?? rt-iison, justice nn<i iiiimanuy. j We arc not relieved of responsibility when | we have dismissed our patients, nor can our j obligations he discharged l>y even the most : f.iillit'ui performance of duties arising within | the cimmiscrihcd limits tliat hound our ; practice. The fmits of our observation, ; experience and invest'gal ions, arc the heritage of our species, ami tlie Profession, the [ world and posterity have claims thai may not he disregarded, and which can he met I only hy well directed concert of action and [ i llV'i t. To satisfy these claims our Society ' was organized, and we now call upon all ]>!iy?i('.i;tns in thu district to meet us ill tlie j Court House on Sale-day in February next, I j>ri'j):ir*tl to lji'comti mi'inhers of our Society, j :iii<I unite with us in uitii common t-tVorl l<i j eh-vato our 1'rofcssion to its legitimate j>o; siti.m, ami give it the highest degree ol I usefulness to which the most enlightened | views tuny I10M it pledged. | The meeting to be held on nest Sale-day i is to lie most important in its results, lYum i the fact that it will determine what is to hi; I the numerical strength of the Society, an 1 on account of the business to be di-pose<l of. Regarding it exceedingly important that rates of charging should be uniform, thu Society, at its lirst regular meeting, appointed a committer to prepare and present ii Fee-bill. The report or this commilteij was received and adopted in November last, and a resolution was immediately passed, making it obligatory upon all the members to he governed, tVom and after the lirst ol i January, 183(5, by the rates ot' t:hargiu<; | laid down in the Fee-bill as adopted. Now, it was never intended that this list of charges should be hid away amongst the Secretary's papers, to he examined l>y physicians, and by them only. On ihc contrary, it w.u intended for publication, and it would have appeared in the columns of the Banner j and Press, with the names appended, the j very next week after its adoption, but foi I t!ie fact that it was thought due to those j members of the Society who were not j present, as well as to the rest of the physii ciaus of the DWtriet, that an opportunity ol j signing it should ho al Voided them, previj oils to its publication. With this view, an i extra meeting was appointed for the 31st ol December. For want of a quorum, this I meeting was not held, and our considerate ! regard for our Professional Brethren, has thrown those of us who have already signj ed the Fee-bill, into rather an awkward dilemma: we must either charge at rates never pnblished to those employing its, oi lay oitrsclvt# liable to be reported to the I Society for failing to be governed by its ! enactments. This anomalous state of things ; cannot bo allowed to continue: reason, proj pricty and manliness forbid it. If wt adopt measures involving the interests oi others, every rule of justice and fairness re<piires that suc.h measures bo published; and no matter what may ho the views entertained by other practitioners, every member of the Society is doubly bound to attend its next meeting. That charges should be uniform, none will pretend to deny, and the only way to secure such uniformity, i* for physicians to adopt one common Feebill, publish it to tho world, and then adhere strictly to its provisions. Our bills more frequently give rise to complaint, than do those of any other c.Imhs of men, hih! none so.hesitatingly, so reluctantly, present their demands as do wo. And why I Is it because our charges are inoro exorbitant tlinn are those of other classes occupying public positional Let the pecuniary embarrassments of a vast majority of those styled Doctor, answer the question. Is it because wo do not lal>or to earn that winch we claim ? Let the shattered constitution* of the mass of our Profession, hn?h the slander before it is uttered. No, it in the want of that which we arc now trying to supply, which orwates dissatisfaction amongst those tfrhoin' wo servo; and timidity in our own rant*. Lei the people know beforehand' yrhiit they' will lmte to pay for the services of a physician, and let the stflpd^ri^of P/ofe^sipnal excellence be jrhat < H wtuc design ai onr Socruiy lojnafce it, and a man would us soon think of objecting to a Merchant's account, bills for all the items of which were given at the tinio the purchases were made, as to his physician'?. Ho who employs a physician whose rates of charging linve been published, agrees to pay fur his services at those rates, and he can, with no show of propriety, delicacy or decency, ask a deduction. Look at the j state of thing-* as it exists in this District, I and blush for tins honor and dignity of the j Profession. Tremblingly our bills are pre' <!...? ? : i "vi.v?u . taivjr aiV l AillllllitU UIIUIHIIJt charge considered,. and the fooling proiiouuccd extravagant. A lecture upon the . easy life of a Doctor, and his want of conI science follows, and, in many instances, the j bill is docked to suit the ideas of him against whom it is made. Is it to l>e won' deivd at, that we are regarded a species of ! harpies, when, by many amongst us, it is so frequently admitted that we are ? And shall we nurture the calumny, and perpetuate the slander ? No, gentlemen, let us i rather assure ourselves that we deserve the j confidence of those to whom we oiler our J J services, and then firmly maintain the rights j ' engendered by such service ; and no longer ! j consent to a species of tyranny, to which ^ ! an unwarrantable custom seeks lo subject us.
