_ Frenzied with rage, yet subtle in bis wrath,

He crushes thousands in his fiery path; _

Stalks through our City unabashed, and throws

Into the cup of sorrow, bitterer woes—

Gives to the pangs of grief an added smart,

With keenest anguish wrings the breaking heart,

proud spirit from its envied height,

tes on fondest hopes a killing blight,

the shroud, the coffin, and the pall,

Ho! for the rescue! Ye whose eyes have seen
- The ruin wrought where drunkenness hath been—
Ye who have gazed upon the speechless grief
- Ofearly lowhood that mocked relief—
Ye who have heard the orphan’s straggling sigh,
When, mad with agony, lie prayed to die—
--Ye who have marked the cries and shames that throng,
Like sateless fiends, the drunkard’s way along~
Ye who can tell his everlasting doom,
When darkly vver bim shall close the tomb—
Up for the conflict! let your battle-peal
. Ring in the air as rings the clash of steel, -
When rank to rank contending armies meet,
Trampling the Dead beneath their bluody feet!
Up! yeare bidden to a nobler strife—
Not to destroy, but rescue human life—
No added drop in misery’s cup to press,
But minister relief to wretchedness ;
‘Yo give the long lost Father to his Boy—
‘To cause the Widow’s heart to sing for joy—
Bid plenty laugh where hungry famine scowls,
And pour the sunlight where the tempest howls;
Bring to the soul that to despair is given,
A new found joy, a holy hope of Heaven !

Charlottetown, 21st March, 1843. '

To the Editor of the Royal Gazette.

Sir; Had the speeches onthe 25th ult. been fully reported, the
foweay would have seen that the Lieut. Governor's name was

ugged into the debate, quite unnecessarily, by hisown friends

one of whom seemed rather inclined to bully the opposite party
into a silent acquiescence with his sentiments, by blowing large
syllables at them, to the purport that certain persons in the ‘House
wore desirous of proving His Excellency to be a liar, and an ut-
terer of falsckoud, but that vain would be the attempt. The Ttali-
cised words L can speak to most positively, because Iroseimme-
diately to reprobate such language, whether applied to the Go-
vernor or any other person.

Iam reported to have said, “that in the month of June last.
“ His Excellency, in one of his addresses to the inliabitants of
« King’s County, stated that the country was then discontented is
upon which you remark, “ We have now before us the replies

“ceived, while making a tour of King’s County, and we dety
“Mr. Maclean to point out a passage, in either of them, contain-
“ing the words used by him, or that will even bear that constrac-
tion.”” Tam thus particulurin pinning you down to your text
and lecture, in.order that vou may not escape from the commen-
tary which the public -will make upon your officious and stupid
interference in this matter.

Well, then, Mr.“ Ep. Gaz.,” when his Excellency saw fit to
leave Charlottetown on the Sabbath, and commence a tour (which
looks most suspiciously like an electioneering excursion) on that
day, Tread in your independent extra of the 11th June, that on the
7th of that month, the “ Queen's Representative” thus maintained
the majesty of his constituent, by discoursing “ soft nonsense”
Into the ears of John Macgowan and Alexander Leslie, whom he
delighteth to expand into “the inhabitants of Souris aud its vici-
nity,” when alluding to the majority of the last Assembly—
“measures have been successfully opposed by it, the population
‘rendered unhappy, disunited and discontented” ! ! Now, Sir,

TImaintain that the words “have been rendered,” only, in the
Jast quotation, can be understood ina preterite sense; nor do I be-
lieve that you, with all your capacity for assertion, will venture
to affirm that the country was not discontented in June last. I
leave the public to judge between us, and would suggest, that
rind you next fling out the red flag of defiance, you bea little
etter prepared for the combat.
in glancing over His Excellency’s addresses to the inh

sense of the unutterable folly of that intemperate zeal which
vainly attempts to prop a falling aristocracy in this Colony
at the sacrifice of the people’s good will, while our Governor

without proof, we shall proceed to exhibit the why and wherefore,
and as we do not wish to offend any one, we earnestly hope that
no one will take offence at our remarks. :

The gentlemen of the bar are not apt to differ materially, from
the nature of their profession : they are so intimately interwoven
in business, that, in order to save the bacon of their clients, they
arefobliged to reciprocate acts of courtesy, give and take, and, ap-
parently, live on guod terms with each other. But among the
people of the Jancet, itis quite the reverse. Here there is no
reciplocity of kindly feeling—the maxim is, every one for himself.
When [ make use of this expression, I beg to be understood that
I by no means intend to apply it generally. There are, in other
countries, Lam happy tosay, men of the profession who, from highly
finished education, extensive acquirement and intercourse with
intellectual society, have acquired such gentlemanly habits, and

“uncompromising principles of houor, as render them ineapable of
entertaining those petty little animosities and propensities to
squabbling that too often disgrace the professors of the healing

exceptions to a general rule—and that general rule is, that doctors
agree only to disagree. ‘The reason, Sir, is obvious—selfevident.
In small towns, where a number of medical people are huddled
together, every one wishes to become & Don in the profession,
aims at supremacy, and endeavours, by every possible manceuvre,
to engross the whole of the practice to himself. From want of @
proper gentlemauly feeling, they become jealous, whenever they
see a marked attention, on the part of influential persons, to one
in preference of another. The flame of enmity is immediately
kindled, and to such an extent, as would defy the waters of the
Pacific Ocean to effect its extinguishment.

It is quite natural fur men, in ordinary life, to compete where
money is to be made; and I can easily imagine that, when one
rises in the ascendant more rapidly than another, a feeling of an-
noyance, bordering on jealousy, may be the result, and, particu-
larly, where the real claims of the favored person are evidently
inferior to those of his less successful competitor. I can conceive
all this in minds of a certain cast, where the nobler principles are
absent, and motives of selfishness: only prevail. But, where life
is concerned, and the feelings of affectionate friends are decply
involved, in the precarious condition of a beloved relative, on the
verge of eternity, the exhibition of rancour and professional an-
tipathies, on the part of medical ptactitioners, require epithets of
reprobation that language can searcely afford. Such, however,
unfortunately, is the natvre of the profession in small communi-
ties, and I have reason to fear it will continue so to the eed o!
the chapter. Conseguence and money-making are the sole objects
of iff members, aud to these the energies of their souls are un-
tiringly directed, tothe utter exclusion of morality, and frequently,
Tam sorry to say, the requirements of common honesty. “Palk of
consultations among such people! You might as well think of
giving two bull terriers their dinners on the same plite—snarling
and combat would be the inevitable consequence. Consultations
are ont of the question. ‘Che plaw! shall pursue and recommend
to others is this—to select a family doctor from among the best of
the tribe, and adhere only to him. If you shew this confi-
dence in him, it will have the effect of making him assiduously
attentive to your wants, and inducing him to exert the whole of
his skill in cases that required it. He would feel that the entire
responsibility rested on himself #lone, and knowing that-his
reputation was at stake, you might expect the full exercise
and application of his concentrated talents. Ifa patient recovered
under his care, he would gain credit, and be enabled, so far as
this goes, to s his fingers at his envious brethren, and exult
in his own professional independence. But if you saddle him
unwillingly with another in consolation, they are sure to quarrel
—-the first medieval man, from a division of responsibility, becomes
less interested in the case, and the consulting doctor is fee
aware that he can, at any time, fortify himself at the expens
the other. Ifthe patient recovers, the second doctor generally
gets the credit of the cure, and ifthe termination is unfortunate,
he will have a glorious oppertunity of fixing the death, by artful
insinuation, on his hated opponent. Bad as human nature is, it
is truly nielancholy to look at such a picture; but so it is, and
where improvement is beyond our reach, we caa only sigh over
our willingness to improve, and our want of competency in the
attainment of the object. :

The various tricks and stratagems to which the doctors. fre-
quently resort, for the purpose of supplanting each other, are
truly contemptible, and [feel disposed to give you some idea of
them. You are to suppose that a doctor has been attending acritical
case for a length of time, and the patient, instead of de-
riving benefit from the treatment, appears to be rapidly sinking.
Now, although there may be no real danger in the case, and the
first attendant may be fully equal to its management, the friends
of the sick person become alarmed, and a second doctor is forced,
in consultation, upon the first. Phe exulting auxiliary arrives,
and afier the pulse has been felt by him, and a few, perhaps, un-
meaning questions put to the patient, he is called aside by one of
the relatives for a little private confab, and for the purpose oi
asking a few questions which it would be indelicate to propound
in the presence of the other, who, apprehending the nature and
fullextent of the interview, in the interiin is suffering bitterly
from internal agony. ‘Well, my good Sit, what do you think
of your patient?” “Very ill, Sir, indeed—very ill; in’ critical
circumstances—the chances very much agaist recovery.” "4
thought sc, although Dr. assured me there was no danger.
What do youthink of the mode of treatment—the bleedings,
blisterings, de.” A shrug of the shoulder is the answer. Now,
Mr. Editor, the simple shrug of a shoulder, in an abstract point of
view, may be considered a very simple thing. Ina Frenchman,
itis a national peculiarity, and accompanies a general propensity
to grimace and gesticulation. Tt means nothing. But a medical
shrug is quite a different thing, and is portentous of dire events.
[tis a forcible moda of expression. It conveys mullum in parvo,
and is the vehicle through which one medical man condemns the
practice and damns the fair fame and reputation of another. Tf,

however, the second doctor happens to be a powerful sort of |

fellow, with the muscles ofan ox, he is less delicate in his remarks,
and belabours the practice of the other in the most unqualified
language ; while his opponent, afraid of a personal contact, .is
compelled meekly to submit, lest a blow from the weighty fist
of his adversary might send him, on a journey of exploration, to
the regions of Tartarus. Although the second doctor may have
his triumph in this iustance, and, by skilful mancuvring, may
obtain the entire management of the case, to the apparent dis-
credit of the other, this state of affairs continues but a short time,
and the annoyed doctor, in returs, ayails himself of the first op-
portunity of playing off his artillery upon his enemy, and, like a
wily sapper, endeavours, by every possible stratagem, to urder-
mine his reputation and lessen the public confidence in his abili-
ties. Such frequently are the artifices of the faculty to establish
themselves on the downfall of others, and Tam almost illnatured

have secretly rejoiced at the failures of others, by the death ofa
patient, in the pleasing hope that it might, directly or indircetly,
implicate the characters of their competitors in practice. Many
of them, to gain a point and gratify a vindictive disposition, hesi-
late not to state the most unblushing falsehoods of each other—
exaggerating trifles, und embellishing circumstances that would
pass unnoticed among the properly thinking members of the pro-
fession. No oue should have the folly to employ two belligerent
doctors inthe same case. If you are dissatisfied with the first,
discontinue his services, for the time, and employ another; but
if they are allowed to attend together, the life of the patient, be
assured, will be in jeopardy. Jarring will ensue. ‘Chey will
try to overrule each other in the employment of means, and the
patient will suffer, and perhaps die, for want ofa judicious, defi-
nite and well-directed mode of treatment. I shall uot intrude
further on your time in this paper, with an intention of finishing
my remarks in your next.
WHIZ!
P. S.—I request it may be most distinctly understood, that
nothing ofa personal nature is meant to be conveyed in the above
observations—they are intended only to apply generally to medi-
cal quarrels, wherever they may be found unhappily to exist.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

Among the documents submitted to Congress by the
President with bis Message is a correspondence between

Messrs. Haalilio and Richards, Agents from the Hawaiian or

Sandwich Islands, and our Secretary of State. ‘The follow-
iug passage from the letter of the Agents, contains informa-
tion of gratifying interest concerning the progress of the
Islands in civilization and the comforts of life, and the ad-
vantages of friendly intercourse with the United States,—
Boston Paper.

Twenty-three years ago the nation had not written lan-
guage, and no character in which to write it. The language

had never been systematized, nor reduced to any kind of

form. The people had no acquaintance with Christianity,
nor with the valuable institutions or usages of civilized life.
The nation had no fixed form or regulations of Government,
except as they were dictated by those who were in authority,
or might by any means acquire power. The right of pro-
perty was not acknowledged, and was therefore but partially
enjoyed. There were no courts of justice, and the will of
the chieftains was absolute, The property of foreigners had
no protection, except in the kind disposition of individuals.
But, under the fostering influence, patronage and care of his
Majesty, and that of his predecessors, the language has been
reduced to a visible and systematized form, and is now writ-
ten bya large and respectable portion of the people.
Schools have been established throughout his dominions

and are supported principally hy the Government: and there
are but few among the younger people who are unable to
read. They have now in their own language a library, em-
bracing a considerable variety of books, on a variety of sub-
jects, including the Holy Scriptures, works on natural his-
tory, civil history, church history, geography, | political
economy, mathematics, and statue law; besides a number of
elementary books. A regular monarchical government has
been organized, of a limited and representative character.
A code of laws, both civil and criminal, has been enacted
and published,

The Legislature hold an annual meeting, for the purpose

a ectabiisiied, and regular trials by jury required in re
important cases. Foreigners of different nations have testifi-
ed their confidence in these courts, by bringing suits 1n cases
where many thousands of dollars’ worth of property was In-

volved, and that too when, with but very short delay, they
could have been carried before the courts of other countries.

It has, moreover, been the uniform practice of consuls and
commercial agents resident in his Majesty's dominions, and
also of all commanders of national vessels visiting those
dominions, to demand all that protection, both of person and
of property, which is demanded of sovereign apd inde-
pendent States, and this, his Majesty believes, had been duly
and efficiently extended. While, therefore, all is demanded
of his Government, and all is rendered by it, which is de-
manded of or rendered by the Governments of sovereign
and independent States, he feels that he has a right to expect
his State to be acknowledged as such, and thus be formally
received into the general compact of sovereign nations. In
the request which his Majesty hereby makes to the Govern-
ment of the United States, he has, of course, for his direct
object, the promotion of the interests of his own kingdom ;
but he is also very fully convinced that the important
interests of all the great commercial nations will also be
materially subserved by his dominions remaining, as they
have hitherte been, independent. é

'Pheir position is such, that they constitute the great centre
of the whale fishery for most of the world. ‘They are on the
principal line of communication between the western con-
tinent of America and the eastern continent of Asia; and
such are the prevailing winds on that ocean, that all vessels
requiring repairs or supplies, either of provisions or of water,
paturally touch at those Islands, whether the vessels sail
from Columbia River, on the north, or from the far distant
ports of Mexico, Central America, or Peru, upon the south ;
and it should be further added, that there 1s no other place in
all that part of the Pacific ocean, where repairs to vessels can
be made to so good an advantage, or supplies be obtained in
such abundance and on so favourable terms.

His Majesty wishes also to remind the Government of the
United States that the amount of property belonging to their
citizens, which is either landed et or enters the various har-
bours and roadsteads of his dominions, and consequently
more or less dependent on the protection of the Government,
“annot be less than from five to seven millions of doilars
annually. This property lies in some ninety or a hundred
whaling ships and their cargoes, and in some twelve or fifteen
merchant vessels, besides also a considerable amount. of
other property belonging to American citizens on shore. At
some seasons there has not been less than three or four mil-
lions of dollars’ worth of American property, and some
fourteen Lundred American citizens at the same time, at the
various ports of the Island, requiring, conseqeuntly, in some
degree, the protection of his Majesty; and he has the hap-
piness of believing that efficient and satisfactory aid has
always been extended to those who have required it. In
evidence corroborative of many of tLe facts herein stated, the
undersigned do not hesitate to refer to the documentary
evidence, which they believe must be among the papers in
your Department of State, recently furnished by masters of
national vessels, but more especially by the United States
Commercial Agent residing at Honolulu.

Upon these grounds, his Majesty, Kamhameha, desires
the acknowledgment on the part of the United States of the
independence of the Sandwich Islands.

Mr. Webster, in reply, says that the President is aware of
the gratifying prospects of the Sandwich Islands, and of the
deep interest the United States has in the preservation of
their independence. Still he sees no necessity for any far-
ther treaty stipulations. A Consul will continue to reside
there as heretofore. »

APOSTOLICAL SUCCESSION.

A Correspondent wishes to ask those of onr readers who
are well versed iv the apostolical succession controversy how
the matter stands upon the following points :—

“1, Asto the baptism of Archbishop Secker. Adam
Clarke distinctly asserts, that, being the son of a dissenting
minister, be received dissenters’ baptism; and afterwards
entered the Church, and became successively Rector of St.
James’s, Dean of St. Paul’s, Bishop of Bristol, and Arch-
bishop of Canterbury. So that, if the fact beso, a man be-
came Primate of all England who, according to Tracta-
rian views, had not even been so much as admitted into the
Christian Church! But bas not the fact been denied, some
baptismal register been adduced? It is very desirable that
the trath should be fully ascertained.

«2. The like question niay be asked of Bishop Butler,
also of Bristol, and subsequently of Darbam. It is a strange
thing, if these two men should have been occupied for many
years in ordaining clergymen and cousecrating other bishops,
without being Christians (i. e., regularly admitted members
ot the Church of Christ,) themselves. And we-must also

4 i (remember, that, if the fact be so, of these two bishops, or
enongh to believe, from what I have secn, that some of them |

either of them, it merely attracts notice because of their
personal celebrity. What occurred in their cases must un-
questionably have occurred in many others, although the
other prelates, being men of little note, have escaped all re-
mark and all inquiry.

“3. Of Archbishop Tillotson the doubts are various.
Did he ever receive baptism at all2 Was he uot often chal-
lenged to show when and where he was baptized, and did
he ever satisfy the inquirer? Again, was he ever ordained
a deacon atall; ora priest, by any one entitied to confer
orders in England? If none of these questions can be sa-
tisfactorily answered, what sort of a succession does it leave
in the Chureh of England ? except, indeed, it can be argued
that an unbaptised and unordained bishop can yet confer
orders, and consecrate other bishops, =

“4. Isthe fact denied or questioned, that King Charles
1. received po other than Presbyterian baptism? ‘'Tbis
blessed saint, says Mr. Newman, ‘died for Episcopacy :? and
yet it seems never to have occurred to bim that baptism, to
be valid, according to the Laudean scheme, must be recei-
ved at the hands of an Episcopally-ordained minister.

«But this leaves matters in a strange confusion. The
Church of England—or at least the prayer-hook, so far as
that speaks the mind of the Church of England—ealls Char-
les a ‘blessed martyr ;’ and applies to him, most improperly
and almost profanely, such texts as ‘When the husbandmen
saw the son, they said, This is the heir, come, let us kill him,’
&e.—and ‘the man of thy right hand, the son of man, whom
thou madest so stroug for thine own self? And yet, upon
Tractarian principles, this same ‘blessed martyr “was not
even entitled to the name of’ Christian ; having never been
admitted into the Church of Christ by valid and lawful bap-
tism |”
