DAILY «TIMES. i CIRCINNATI: SATURDAY EVE'G, JONE ‘23, 1849. —_---econon—m—X ¥“c ee EP Thanks to Greene Co.'s express for late Saint Louis papers. ms renee ‘Extoarion of » Ap pears. received «, our Ea ans e a reply, however; for, in addition to the fact that he did not publish our article, which seems to have moved him considerably, we cannot, consistently with self-respect, assume his level is the use of langage. The article, purporting to be an answer to ours,is, in truth, a uissue of misrepresentation, meeting anything but the tras issue. As a specimen of the hambag style, we copy the following: —Speaking of the reports of physicians, men endorsed by the old school in the diplomas granted them—men known to this commu nity as educated, intéligent gentlemen— searchers after the hidden truths of nature— the Espositor sage:— “The Times thinks these sens re ports of ee a to be be whole them. But why ee them? ae See a have mad a bes baseline tier Bite lig led reports. It dose not follow, Liat us people employ them, that, therefore, are truthful im their representations, or maim practice; otherwise, the negro doctor, who turned this gs hagoe down a few years ago, drawing him thou sands who were reckoned intelligent, was ever successful in practice, and truthful in his representations, when, in fact, it is now simost univeresity admitted that he was every way base in character, and totally ig norant of the healing art.’’ It will be seen that our modest friend, ad mits the “‘Reformers”’ are employed by thou sands of intelligent people without investiga tion, but because they have been gallen by the reports. This is putting the cart before the horse, and substituting the effect for the cause. Certainly, it is not necessary for us to refute such logic and transparent hum beg, pity, indeed, that so many of our mos s and physicians are #0 much behind Dr. Latta and other old hunk ere—great pity, indeed! ‘The idea, too, 01 classing many of the first merchants, clergy men, lawyers, and men of learning, of Cin cinasti, who employ Eclectics and Hoemmo pathies, with the patrons of the nigger doc tor, who operated by paper floats on a glass of water, is in exceeding good taste, and will no doubt be properly appreciated by then. He forgets, too, probably that one class of re formers, have a flourishing Medical College in this city with an able faculty—chartered by the State, and authorized to confer de grees, and in blackguarding them, impeaches the intelligence and integrity of the Ohio Legislature. Oh! that all these humbugged people were as learned and wise as Dr. Latta! The Doctor, not content with one article on thi subject, publishes two editorials, find ing, We suppose, that he could not demolish us by a coup de main; one is headed” “ Bad Memory —instead of “A false inference and misstatement, ’ which would have char acterized the piece better. In reference to our notice of the letter written to the Philadelphia Saturday Even ing Post, we are quoted correctly as having stated, “We originated no statement of the comparative success of practitioners, c.’’ And again, as previously said, in reply to the Wheeling Gazette. cod’ + my dear sir, a majority of the pa this city are treated by‘ Raletinine,’ and or oebantventary too, than the annals of medicine show uader the old system. This is thought to b, by the Exapositors a Comparative statement, .— Now it is well known, that we did not origi nate the statement, but that it is but a repe tition of the statistics handed in to the papers and Board of Health, and published to the world, as everybody of sense knows full well. We secarcely know upon which horn of the dilemma to put Dr. Latta, (if indeed he wrote the article, which we doubt) whether to his businessef perception, or intention to mis- Either should be mortifying to a clergyman and M.D. With these few re marks we leave our opponents to recover their temper, courtesy, and good- breeding. — has been said on this topic, and we cheerfully leave our course to the judgment of the public, both as to ou: truthfulness and the propriety of the terme used by us. Payer.—Some people think it is not right for the City to be holding on to cash assets, while it is not able to pay its cash debts, and an effort will be made, we learn, to induce the City Council to sell the bonds belonging to Cincinnati, of the Little Miami Rail Road Co., amounting to $190,000, for cash at their market valus, or exchange them for City Bonds to that amount, ($100,000, ) pay able in May 1850, at per—or for city owders of all dates at per, when $100 is presented — or apy or all other city obligations now due and unpaid; also, to sell the bonds of the L. Bali Road Co, given in exchange for the y's leam to said Co. of $100,000—making a total of 6220000. We think this plan » good one, and doubt not the “ Atlas” will lend ite powerful aid to accomplish the mes ware, if proposed. The “ Atlee” had ex pressed an opinion already against taxation, and holding on to the Rail Road beade.
