The Baltimore Lyceum, recently discussed the question, ‘‘Whether the Thompsonian prac tice of Medicine ought to be encouraged?” Se veral of the Medical Faculty of the city were present, and participated in the debate. From the account of this discussion, in the Baltimore Gazette, it may be supposed that the grave and learned members of the Faculty gathered but few laurels, though it seems that the question was decided in their favor. A Mr. Williams, who commenced the discussion, said he con sidered the question as settled in the affirmative. The Thompsonian* had many patients in cho lera, all or nearly all of whom were cured ma ny of them, after the Faculty had pronounced them incur tble. He visited one ludy, deemed incurable, and found her in such a condition that he remained all night with her. (a laugh!) After a few days, the lady completely recovered. He could cite other cases, all of which, demon strated the safety and efficacy of the Thompso nian practice. Dr. Bond, senior, made a learned and elo quent speech against the practice, ridiculing some of Thompson’s principles, and concluded by remarking that he should render himself un popular by toe course he had adopted, but he was past the meridian of life, and was indiffer ent to the consequences; he had as much prac tice in the profession as he wanted; and was not afraid of its being diminished by Thompsonian im, &c. &c. Mr. Godfrey Mover had listened to the Doc tor’s Theory, all of which was worth nothing at all. The faculty had many theories, all of which were contradictory. The Gulenists were upset by the disciples of Paracelsus, and these, in their turn had been upset by others. From the t me when Sydenham introduced depletion bytiie use of the lancet, things had gone still worse, till at last Dr. Hu ll confessed that medi cine, ai practised by the faculty, was unworthy of tae name of science. Robinson, in his Lec tims, h id proved it completely. To rescue ine dici.ie from this disgraceful condition, Doctor Th mipson had arisen, who with nature for his tu de, and with a diploma from the Almighty, In I done more good than all his predecessors. His disciples amounted to 2,0U0.0O0, who were sati.-fied with his plan as his medicines never failed, whereas the mineral medicines used by ■he faculty had destroyed more persons than he sword. This thrust at the Facu’ty, raised up Dr. Pea therbridge, who sent a few cnhl shot into the op .site ranks in return. A Mr. Walker next ad ess -d *he Lyceum, after the following manner: He had lost two of his children, when the re gul.fr practitioners attended I.is family, bi.tsince his having called in Thomp-onians, he had not lost one, and his expenses were reduced. It had been ascertained that more deaths had oc curred io the families of the former within a given time, than in those of the latter. I’his was easily explained. Tin* Thompsonians were their own doctors; and as they used good medi cines, they easily cured themselves. In conse quence too, oftheir following nature, they were more prolific than the members of the Facu'ty. (A laugh.) He wondered t a any man could be so blind to his own interest as not to adopt the Thompsonian remedies. After this, Mr. Winchester addressed the meet ing, in a style partaking rather more of the pas sionate than the pathetic—calling the Thomp sonians a set of ignoramuses, and other such un genteel appellations. Mr Kobert Walker said, Physicians attached wonderful importance to high-sounding words, just as if their Latin names for horns and stools, enabled them to un derstand diseases the better. He himself had been attended by a Thompsonian, who told him, not that the nervous tissues of his pericranium were disordered, but that he had the headache, and he really believed it \va; the headache. If he were to say, that in consequence of the cir ticular membrane of his digitals, having been severed, the veinous and arterial cylinders, had discharged their sanguineous fluid, would it be plainer than to say be had cut his finger? (A laugh) Yet this was the sort ol jargon by which physicians had imposed on the credulity of man kind, who were apt to suppose that sesquipeda lian words implied superior understanding.— The Thompsonians, by discarding such non sense, bad shown that they were above practic ing deceit. For himself, he was satisfied that the Thompsonian medicine had cured his mala dies ami restored him to health. A former speaker had spoken of old women’s remedies; but could he bring forward 500 old women who would speak of this efficacy of calomel?* Sup posing he could, w hat would it prove, but that it was. alter all, only the remedy of so many old women? (A langh.) A Mr. Chandler, next took the floor, and came near flooring all the Thompsonians, and Mr. Edward Postlethwaite Page, likewise. This Mr. Edward Postlethwaite Page had, on the preced ing evening, declared, that his name of Postleth waite included the title of Apostle; and that Je sus Christ had commissioned him to proclaim that the day of judgment would occur in 1836, and he (Mr. Chandler) considered this man en titled to as much credence, as far as supernatu ral gifts were concerned, as was Samuel Thomp son. Mr. Chandler concluded by suggesting, that when the question should be put to the vote, neither the Thompsonians nor the regular Phy sicians should be allowed to vote; since men who were put upon trial, had no right to sit on the jury. (A very sensible remark.) s*ir. uiiniu miKeu annul ms ailments, mi me President declared that he hail talked out his allo'tcd time. And last came Dr. Yates, who said. (*hat we have heard said by at least five hundred men, who had spent three days in pre paring a speech.) that when he entered the room he had no intention of taking any part in the discussion; but he felt inclined to make a few remarks, dtc. VV hen Dr. Yates sat down, the question was called for it was moved and carried, that neither the Thompsonians nor the regular physicians should be allowed to vote.— After which, on the vote being taken, there ap peared in the affirmative, 71; negative, 147; ma jority against the Thompsonians, 75. So the Thompsonianites were defeated with much loss; and the “regular physicians” went forth unmo lested, conquering and to conquer. And then The Sun, Descending, closed the warfare of the day. f VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot, Rich mond, Dec. 13. The waves are stilled for a season, and an apparent repose of the elements may be looked for during the next four or five weeks. The House of Delegates has consented to the second amendment of the Senate, and the 27/A o//fl nuary is fixed upon for the election of an U. S. Senator. At one time it was expected that the acciden tal majority in the Senate would refuse to go in to an election at all, this winter. Rut this game would have availed nothing; and they a«e no« j hoping against hope.” They are deluding themselves with the idea that the clamors ,Jiout instructions,” constantly kept up by the Van Ruren organ here, will frighten timid members to disregard the deliberate expressions of the people at the polls last spring, and follow the dictation of the modern instructors.” Amidst all thisslang about obedience to the will of the peoplo, and the sacred right of instruc tion, not a word is uttered by the Van Burenites here, on the subject of the denial of that right by Ex Senator William C. Rices, in lSl9-’20.— This gentleman, with grtal modesty, denied that the last Legislature spoke the will of Virginia, and appealed to the people. His appeal was in vain. And now, not satisfied with the result of hisoirn appeal, he and his friends rely upon the efficacy of instructions, fraudulently gotten np in most cases, and profess great respect for the very principles which he had once denied. They pretend that that the elections turned on local grounds, notwithstanding all the clamour raised, and all the advantages gained by them, on the false issue of Bank or no Bank. If the last assertion be true—that the elections were in i fluenced by locul questions—it conveys a high compliment to the Whigs, that the people always give them the preference, when any local interest is to be advanced. In many counties, the signers to papers gotten up under false pretenses in which, sometimes, the name of Mr. Leigh was never mentioned— nee taking their names ojf, and it is believed that in most counties attempted to he Van Burenized, the same result might be attained. Senators may go home and electioneer in the absence of the delegate--, tint you may re ly on it. all will not do. Mr. Leigh’s re-election is as certain as any human event in future can be certain. Reaction” is relied upon, but it will be a “re action” sw eeping off all the labors of secret and deceptious electioneering. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. Correspondence of the Haiti more Patriot, Harris burg, Dec. 14, 1834. The minions of the Military Chieftain, in the Legislature of this State, seem prepared to do any thing which is supposed to he desired by the General. 1 think they have become moie reckless and ready to violate nil consistency than heretofore.—Mr. Lawrence’s resolution relative to the Public Lands, has repeatedly re ceived the almost unanimous sanction of the Legislature—but it will be voted down now, be cause they fear that the ‘Hero’ would be offend ed with its passage. Me El wee’s and Pertriken’s resolutions will pass il called up. Every Legis lative measure is now determined in party cau cus. Such caucuses here are like the Jacobin Clubs of France—They prepare the legislation, and the two Houses meet merely to register their decrees. Even the election of Bank Directors was thus managed. Several candidates had been openly nominated (according to rule) in both Houses—a caucus was held, and printed slips sent round to the Jackson members indica ting which of the Democrats, thus named, had been selected by this irresponsible sub-Legisla lure ns The Democratic” Candidates. They weie of course elected. A strong effort is now making in the State by theSim# Culottes of the party, to supercede Gov. Wolf at the next nomination for Governor—or at least to intimidate him into their measures. He retains some officers who prefer the Constitution to Gen.J.ickson—who are opposed to the remo val of the Deposites and to the Protest. They have ordered him to remove all such men; and if he disobey, he will be sarificed. I think be will comply—he has already sacrificed his opin ions to the party, as his last winter’s message shews. He may as well now steep himself all over in disgrace. lie will feel more comforta ble after he has extinguished conscience entire ly, than at present, with some latent sparks left. I grieve to be obliged to say that Pennsylvani ans make the most fawning and patient subjects that ever bowed down at the foot of a throne. CENTRAL BUREAU OF ELECTIONEER F.RS. We find the following letter in the Columbus Sentinel. It shows, when taken in connexion with what has already appeared in the public prints on this subject, the surveillance that is extended over the Stale elections, and the re gular returns that are made to the central hoard at Washington. It would be folly to suppose that these communications between individuals in the various counties and districts, are confined to the transmission of returns alone. If so much in terest is felt by the office holders at head quar ters about the result of an election, they no doubt use every means in their power to affect that result. Washington City, Sept. 17,1832. Confidential. Dear Sir—It is of great importance that the earliest information be received here of the re sult of the elections in Ohio, on the second Tues day in October next, and for electors of Presi dent and Vice President, on the first Friday in November next. 1 have, therefore, most earn estly to request you immediately on these elec tions faking place, to advise me/rom day to day of the same, as you may receive the returns.— Please give me, in the first place, the township re turns ane from the counties, as you may receive them, until you have completed the returns from the whole State. These returns I wish should embrace the votes for Governor,and for members of the General Assembly, designating such as are Jackson candidates. And when your elec tion fof electors of President, and Vice President takes place, give me from day to day the re turns of the same as your information may warrant, until the whole returns are transmitted to me. You will duly appreciate the motives which induce me to make these requests, and I have no doubt will perceive their importance, and the necessity for the most prompt compliance. With great respect, Your obedient servant, Elijah Hayward. r.sq. P. S.—I presume measures will be taken in each county to have the result of the election known at the county seat, on the morning after the same shall take place, from every township therein. If any thing should occur that will prevent your giving me the information requosteo. please procure some good man and true, who will attend to it. Mr. Editor—I leave this matter, spread as it is,before an enlightened and virtuous people,and ask them to decide whether the Government pa tronage is, or is not, brought to interfere in the elections of our country. A Jeffersonian Democrat. Commissioner Hayward’s “Confidential.” The Columbus Sentinel thus notices the letter of Mr. Hayward: It has for sometime been well ascertained, that in the systematic division of the election eer• ing labor of letter writing, letter franking, party management, *&c., which has become establish ed among the Van Buren office holders at Washington City, the onerous duty of conduct ing this bureau for the great State of Ohio, is committed to Elijah Hayward, Esq. Commis sioner of the Geoeial Laud Office. As a proof of the faithful, accurate, and business like man ner in which that gentleman performs an agen cy so arduous; and as evidence of his system, and his assiduity in securing the earliest intelli gence of the results from his field of operation, from which the nature of the preparatory move ments, may be easily defined; 1 send you for publication a correct copy of one of his letters which recently fell into my hands, written two years since, and addressed to a good man and true,” in a county of this StatP, among the least important as regards the number of voters.— No wonder Mr. Hayward and the office holders are obliged to call upon Congress lor addition al clerks upon an alleged increase of business. Their business bolh in kind and extent lias in creased amazingly. But will lhe people sustain and support them in this additional business which they have taken upon themselves to per form! No, sir, the people at the polls are wri ting condemnation upon the interference of of fice holders In elections. The letter is franked “General Land Office. Elijah Hayward.” Election oe Senator.—On Saturday, the House agreed to the amendment of the Senate for proceeding to ttie election of a Senator on the 27th January, witho t a division. We are glad that the House hus consented tc so distant a day. They have thus given a prac tieal refutation to the allegation that they were afraid todelay—afraid (Heaven save the mark!] of secret instructions—to have had any thing tc do with which, is about to become a sinking re proach to any politician—for they stink in the nostrils of all, who have the understanding and the discrimination to decide between the claims of their country and a desperate faction. The27th of January we nope, is a day remote ••nough,to appease Van Burenism- toen bleittc conclude and to bring in, its bush” instructions front every county even oftliisexj a ruled Com monwealth. Nine months will then have elaps ed, since they begun the fair the ubacc-kaardy the Itepnbticun system, of instructing the Rep resentative, not l>y assembling the people, and by openly and publicly discussing the subject, but by approaching the individual voter, cor nering him in secret places and whispering in to his ear, the falsehood best adapted to impose upon his simplicity, or to beguile h s prejudices! Nine months will then have elapsed—will that suffice recruiting officers and drill sergeants ol Van Burenism? Will nine months suffice for the completion of your underground operations?— If it will not, go to the Senate of Virginia—-there you have a majority—and prevail upon that luminous body to postpone the election for ttrelrt niont/i8. The will already exists, but not the pluck. Cannot it be urged to the sticking point. Ifich. Whig. To the Senatorial District or tiie North ern Neck.—The election ol a Senator is post poned to the 27th January, 1835. It was done avowedly, and ostensibly, to afToidyou time to make known your pleasure to your Senator.— He it seems is not satisfied.— His mind is in a state of dubiety as to the inclinations of his con stituents. How it should be so, when Stafford is equally divided—when Richmond and Lan caster, King George and v. estmoreland, are known to be Anti-Van Buien by decided major ities, and when the Jackson majority in North umberland is far mom than neutralized by that in King George alone, is a phenomenon that lie may probably explain. But so it is, that he is in a state of doubt and anxiety, as is alleged.— Northumberland, Westmoreland, Stafford, Lan caster and Richmond, are therefore respectfully asked by the friends of Mr. Leigh by the oppo nents of Van Burenism, the Proclamation, and the Protest, to come forward l.ke King George, and say publicly, (not in a corner) w hether they are in favor of sacrificing Mr. Leigh to the schemes of those who are intent upon making Martin Van l-uren ruler over this People. That i is the question—the whole question, and nothing I but the question. The Bank hobby is worn so threadbare, that the Van Burenites themselves are becoming ashamed of it. We hope the Northern Neck will speak, since matters are suspended to hear from her, and that in a voice audible and decided.—Richmond Whig. _ Instructions.—When the Constellation and the Richmond Enquirer triumphantly proclaim ed that the friends of the scheme were carrying every thing before them, and that the Town of Petersburg would in due time exhibit a large and unequivocal majority against Mr. Leigh, we remained silent, perfectly willing that the game should be played out without any inter ruption from us. We pursued this course from no fear of the result. We felt the most perfect confidence that our citizens would not be so far governed by mistaken party feeling or per sonal predilections, as to aid and assist in de grading and dismissing from their service a faithful and distinguished representative who had given evidence of Ids deep devotion to the laws and constitution of his country. Our an ticipations have been confirmed by the result. Notwithstanding the confident declaration of the Administration paper in Petersburg, echoed by other affiliated presses in Virginia, that the instructions had been carried by a most tri umphant majority, we feel no hesitation in say^ ing that our Delegate has not been instruct ed” to vote against Mr. Leigh. We are assur ed, after a diligent and careful examination of the instruction paper,” that it has been satis facotrily ascertained that the number of signa tures thereto falls very far short of a majority of the legally qualified rolers of the tovcn. It j thus appears that at least thre(foutof the four districts, (Chesterfield, Nottoway, Brunswick, and Petersburg,) whose delegates have been openly denounced and arraigned before the people, have, contrary to the boasting and pre dictions ofthe Administration presses, refused to sanction the instruction scheme. It is true that these Delegates have been furnished with in- j struction papers,” but, if we have not been mis-, informed, they are deficient in that which can alone make them obligatory upon the Repre sentative—the signatures of a majority of the voters.—Petersburg Intel. ALEXANDRIA: THURSDAY MORNING, DEC’R. 13. 1331. We told the Globe it had better let Mr. Wilde’s poetry alone. It appears, sure enough, that it has gone gone off on another wrong scent. Ne tutor ultra crepidam. We hope some one will translate this for the Globe’s benefit. Referring to the Letter of Mr Teackle, with his project of a plan to establish the monetary system, and regulate the Currency of the Unit ed States, the Globe says:—“ We are authorized to say, that the statement is not true. Mr. I Teackle submitted his plan to the President— 1 he read only a small part of it, and becoming satisfied that it was altogether a visionary scheme, threw it aside, and never looked at it again.-’ I It is now incumbent on Mr. Teackle to ex plain.___ The Globe takes on terribly at the formation of the Senate’s Committees. Has that delight ful diurnal nothing to say about the Committees of the House. What is “sauce for the goose, is certainly sauce for the gander.” The National Intelligencer remarks— “The very first measure, after resorting tc i reprisals—nay, the preliminary measure—ough i to be the creation of a Government Stock tc the amount of five millions of dollars, to paj off the claims of our citizens on Fiance, tin responsibility for which our own Governm^n will then have assumed. The war will, aftei such a provision is made, at least not he a di rect war upon the vested rights of our own ci tizens.” In speaking of the inauguration at New Or leans of the plaster cast of a bust of Napoleon the New Orleans Advertiser says: “The furci was amusing, it not imposing; and we must h*p«ut that a foreign ship laden with salt, and two sloops, are on shore. The sloop Emulous, from Ramsay, is lost with all hands. Seven of the hands of the foreigner are also lost.” _ Extract of a letter to the Eil it nr. Richmond.

After which,%the Senate 3(1^?^ HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Alter the presentation ol memorials, the Ho took up the resolution, offered by Mr. Cl the day before, directing the Committee'of Ways and Means to inquire into the e\pedien cy of remitting the duties^on Locomotive f gines, Railroad Car Wheels, Ae.,—ujih amendment referring the subject to the Commit* tee on Manufactures; and, after some debate motion was made to lay the resolution on table—Ayes 92, Noes 100. The debate Was resumed, but arr ested by the expiration of Uk hour allotted to morning business. The House then proceeded in Committee r,f the Whole, Mr. Briggs in the chair, to consider the bill increasing the Compensation of RaV4| 1 Officers; and after some time spent therein the House adjourned. In the House op Representatives, ox Tcesdvy On motion of Mr. Watmough, the House nro! ceeded to the consideration of the special order of the day, viz: the bill to equalize thepavnf the officers of the Navy of the United State?n The House went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Briggs in the Chair, and took up the said hill. Some conversation took place as to the pro per comse to be pursued; an amendment tot!* 1 bill as originally reported having been reported j by the Select Committee, in which conversation Mr. Harper, Mr. Iluhbard, Mr. Mason, of Va. r and Mr. Speight, participated. Mr. Harper then moved to amend the follow, ing clause of the bill: “The Senior Captain when commanding a squadron,$5.500,"by>irik! 5 ing out $5,500, and inserting 84.500. Mr. Harper defended his proposition in a few f remarks in which he declared it to be his wish to be liberal to the Navy; but in this happy time 1 of peace, he was disposed to believe thatasmak I ler allowance, in this case, would he sufficient He shou'd he ready to increase the compensa tion in some other of the clauses of the bill, as lie was anxious that the officers of this branch of tiie service should be sufficiently compensated. He 1 desired to see the officers so recompensed, that r t rey should not be compelled to run themselves into debt, or leave ilietr famines in a destitute condition. They ought to he placed, in his opin ion, more on an equality—the low clashes being raised and the higher reduced. Mr. Watmough then explained the object of the Select Committee, in reporting the amend 5 ment which was now under consideration He shewed that the Select Committee, was appoint ed in 1S33, by a resolution of the House, and that the object of the appointment was to report an i equalization of the pay of the army and navy, i Tlut committee had accordingly taken up the subject, examined, and made a report, which they had intended to cover the whole ground. By a reference to that report, the House would 5 see all the principles on which the committee had acted fully developed, and all the efforts which had been made by the committee to save the country from tile increase of expenditure, I which seemed to be called for by an increaseof the pay of the navy, by reducing in the same I proportion the pay f the army. A majority of that Select Committee had reported a bill, and that bill had been investigated by the proper de partinents. It is ascertained by the* depart ments, tiiat the equalization bill, in endeavoring to effect what was rigid., both in r elation to the army and navy, had failed to accomplish that which the committee had intended to do, so as to increase the pay of the navy and reduced the pay the army. By a reference to documents on the files, it would be seen that, instead ol the pay of the ar my. being decreased by the bill, it had been ac tually increased to the amount of 70,000 dohar*. although this was in some measure compensa 'ed by a reduction of 30,000 do'lurs in the allow ance which had been usually made. Into these circumstances, tin* committee desired !-1 have the bill returned to them, in order that sue definite action might be had upon it a* w"1 enlighten the House. This was according) done. In fixing the pay of the services. committee had before them the reports of uie l partments. The highest pay assumed by committe was founded on those reports. an until within a few days, when some '-x.-ep had been made for the fir-t time; and at _ held the evidence in his hand.

The question, then recurring on the motion of Mr Hat per to amend, Mr. Harper expressed his regret that lie could notcoincide in the opinion of his colleague. (Mr. Watmough,) but most persist in his motion. Mr. Watmough then vindicated himself and the Seieet Committee from the imputation of having interfered with the province ot a Stand ing Committee of the House, and from all the other allegations of the gentleman from New York. (Mr. Mann,) reiterating what he bad be tore said, that the committee had taken the re port of the Departmentr for its basis.

To enable the House to investigate the subject more fully, he moved that the com mittee rise. The motion being agreed to. the committee rose, reported pr >gress, and obtained leave to sit again. On motion of Mr. Watmough, The House adjourned. PUBLIC MEE PING. Pursuant to previous notice—** inviting the i i tizen voters of Fairfax County to meet at tlnir Court House, on the 15th day of December, 1331. (It being Court day) f>r the purpose of taking into consideration, the propriety of instructing their representative Col. Spencer M. Ball,” they met, whereupon, Col. John Millan, was called to preside, and James M. Halley appointed Secre tary. The object of the meeting being explain ed by H. IV. Thomas, Esq., the following pre ample and resolutions were offered by Mr. A. B. Williams, with suitable remarks, and unani mously adopted. Whereas, a paper, purporting to be instruc tions to Spencer M. Ball, Esq., directing him to vote against the re-election of Benjamin W. Leigh, Esq., and in favor of William C. Rives, Esq., for a U. S. Senator, has been secretly drawn up, and is now circulating through the county, for the purpose of obtaining signatures thereto, bearing upon its face, a palpable mis staiement, calculated to mislead and deceive those who may sign it, and thereby expressing an opinion, contrary to the known and express ed opinions of a large majority of the voters of Fairfax County; which paper, if not thus pub licly taken notice of, may impress upon the mind of Col. Ball, a belief that a change has ta ken place, in the political sentiments of his con stituents, thereby causing him to misrepresent their will, or not represent them (by resigning his seat in the Legislature.) Therefore U as the unanimous opinion of this meeting, that no material change has taken place in the political sentiments of the County of Fairfax since the last April election, *'hen the question of Senator was put and as fairly disposed of. llesolceil, as the opinion of this meeting, that large majority of the qualified voters of Fairfax are friendly to the re-election of Ben jamin W. Leigh, Esq. to the U. S. Senate, and opposed to the election of William C. Rives, Esq. Resolved, That this meeting have full fa th confidence in the talents and integrity °f Mr. Ball their representative, and believe he *'iil discharge his duty faithfully as our Repre sentative, and deem it unnecessary to give him *ny instructions. Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings •f this meeting be forwarded to Col. Ball by the Secretary of this meeting and published mnie Alexandria Gazette and Richmond Whig. JOHN MILLAN, Chairm’n.
