BROOKVILLE:

FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1833.

4th of jvly. We have been solicited to request a meeting of the citizens of the county generally, at the Court House, on to-morrow evening, at 5 o'clock, for the purpose of making arrangements preparatory to the celebration of the birth day of American liberty. It is hoped a general attendance will be given. 0- We this week publish a prospectus for a Statistical Itistory of our State. A specimen of the work now lies before us, and we feel no delicacy in recommending it as a worthy appendage to every private parlor and public room in the State. It comprises a fund of Topographical and Statistical information not easily obtained in any other way. CHOLERA. This disease is said to have made it appearance again in Cincinnati. Our information is so authentic that we have no room for doubts on the subject. We have ateo received accounts, by a gentleman di

rect from Lawrenceburgh,that the disease is now pre

valent in the vicinity of that place. Our inform

ant states that it has assumed a serious type that 1 1 out

out of 18 cases had proved fatal. Death has generally ensued an attack in the brief space of a few hours. We have not made this statement with a view to terrify our citizens nor do we consider it a just Cause of alarm. We would remark fear is said to be a

great inciting cause of an attack, and we do not ques

tion the fact therefore, let those exposed to it watch

the system, and at the first symptom apply the anti

dote. In all caases, an attack is preceded by a slight di arrhcea; or, diarrhcaa may be 6aid to be Cholera At

phyxia, in its incipient stage. The patient should, in

such case, immediately take from 20 to 25 grains of

Calomel with 1 grain of opium and keep dry and warm during its operation, and no danger need be apprehended. Exposure to night air is pernicious. We would suggest to families the propriety of procuring for each member a dose of Calomel as above, lest an attack be made when medical aid cannot be procured in season. An opinion haB heretofore been prevalent, that the disease was not contagious this is not the fact. We hesitate not to say that it is contagious; though this fact should not deter us from attending upon those who are its subjects.

belter expected. So, we of the Gazette, have

conciuaea to regale our readers with a love tale, and other matters of ordinary import. There are plenty of murders, but we see no good in narrati mm ,.. . . . . .

UUS mem. x nere are onans too, about appointments at Washington, new and unexpected. But ondits are not of much authority. It is safest to speak on such matters when the fact is made certain. Cincinnati Gazette.

(7- O. H. Smith, Esq. and James Rariden, Esq. are now fairly before the people of the 5th District, as candidates for Congress. It is thought also, that Hon. Jonathan McCarty will be along with them at the outcome, though he appears to trail at the start. It is said the "Penntylvanian" has promised to un

mask the Spt in Washington. Whether the Editor can do this, we know not; but in common with the public we should like to know who he is.

Printers to Congress. Since his re-election as Printer to the Senate, the Editor of the U. S. Telegraph has out-Heroded Herod, in his abuse of the individuals composing the Administration , and in misrepresenting their measures and opinions. It is is quite time his pension was cut off. There is no good reason why he should be hired and paid out the people's money, for abusing the officers which the people have elected. We hope that the next Congress will at its threshold repeal the law which authorises one Congress to select a printer for its successor, and having abrogated that law, we hope to see it proceed to elect printers to both Houses, who will not use the patronage which which they derived from the public in abusing the servants. Troy Budget. MARTIN VAN BUREN. We understand that the Vice President of the United States, intends paying his fellow citizens of the West, a friendly visit during the approaching summer. As Mr. Van Buren is the representative of the whole Union, and as he has never visited the Western country; we are gratified at the prospect of seeing the man who has recently been elevated by the free and unbought suffrages of his countrymen, to the second office within their gift, among us; (notwithstanding his having been "disgraced" by the Senate of the U. States.) Ky. Argus. A STRANGE MOVEMENT. A meeting is called in Norfolk, Va. of persons opposed to the elevation of Martin Van Buren to the Presidency, &c. Such a call displays more bitterness of feeling than reason or prudence. It is quite too early to bring forward the name of any one as a candidate for the Presidency, and there are but very few who have done it. And when this is the case it is extremely idle to call meetings to oppose any individual. The truth is such a movement is more likely to aid than to retard the advancement of the individual thus singled out. The enemies of Mr. Van Buren should have learned wisdom from the past; but unreasonable bitterness of feeling can never restrain itself within reasonable bounds. Bait. Rep. A Bank Failure. Letters from Augusta, Geo. announce the failure of the Planters, and Merchants, Bank of that place. The nominal capital of this bank was .350,000; of which, we understand, only a small portion had been paid in. The amount of its bills in circulation is said

to be $300,000.

J"al. Intelligencer.

By an extract from the "Louisville Public Advertiser," we learn that the Editor of that paper has instituted a libel suit against the proprietors of the "Journal and Focub." So much for Editorial wrangles.

The people of Connecticut having failed in the election of a Governor and Lieutenant Governor, the Legislature convened on the 2d inft. and elected by heavy majorities, H. W. Edwards, Governor, and Ebekezer Stoddard, Lieutenant Governor. They are both friends of the present Administration.

Attau.lt vpon the President. It will be recollected that a certain Mr. Randolph was recently dismissed from the Naval service, by the President, on a charge of being a "dt&ulter." A short time since he made a brutal, and violent, and dastardly attack upon the person of the President. The particulars as far as received, are given to day. Such conduct needs no comment public indignation will fall with sufficient weight on so scandalous a transaction to form an eternal bar against similar outrages.

DIEI On the 4th inst. in the vicinity of this place, GEORGE WASHINGTON, son of Mr. Benjamin Childers, aged 13 months and 22 days. The circumstances attending the death of this child, confirms the itatement of the "bleeders" that went the rounds of the American press a few months ago. We underhand it bled to death from a bite on the end of the tongue merely a scratch. We have also been told that the lea6t break of the skin was attended with great danger owing to a profuse discharge of blood.

03- We are authorised to say that ENOCH 31cC.ARTY, Esq. is a caandidate for Congress, in this District.

07 We have been requested to 6tate that JOSEPH BENNET is a candidate for County Commissioner. Vr. Editor: Please announce the name of CHARLES HUTCH EN, a candidate for Justice of the Peace for Brookville township, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of John S. Powers, Esq. MANY.

Or We have been requested to say that NATHANIEL HAMMOND, Esq. is a Candidate for Justice of the Peace, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of John S. Power, Esq.

A Patri vrch. The St. Petersburg Gazette states that there is living in Polo.sk on the frontiers of Lithuania, a man named Demetrius Crabowski, who is now 168 years old. This Russian Mathusela has always led the humble

but tranquil life of a Shepherd, the oldest of

whom, Paul, is 120, and the younger, Anatole, 97 years old. Literary Gazette.

SNAKE STORY. A gentleman called at our office a day of two ago, givingus an account of a snake's nest found in East Kingston, in this state, which is nearly equal to any that can be raised South of the Potomac. Two large black snakes were seen to enter a small hole near a cellar which had been covered over, and the walls left standing. Digging was immediately commenced, and at the last dates they had taken from the wall, all told, seventy-five snakes, and the prospect was then good for ten times the number, more. In those taken were S 3 black, 10 striped, 3 red bellied snakes, and 9 house adders were, as the trader says of his goods,"of the largest and most beautiful patterns," measuring from two to five feet, and of perfect symmetry of proportions splendid

Is there one whose soul has never felt Her smile upon it shine! O! is there a wretch that never knelt At blushing Beauty's shrine! If so, bind a savage to his arms, In caves of cruel care; Let not woman's silken chain of charms Defend him from despair!

Election. To the People of the Fourth Congressional District. Fellow-Citizens: My name has been announced as a candidate, to represent you in the next Congress. To many of you I am known, to others a stranger: with all it is my desire to seek an acquaintance before the first Monday of August next. The inquiry has been

so often made, whether I intend to continue a candidate, that it became necessary to be informed of the

source from whence these suspicions arose. The author has been discovered, and while I withhold his name, his motives are referred to your honest and candid judgment. In answer to the inquiry, I can only say, that my opponent has nothing to hope, or my friends to fear, from such a result. No change of situation or circumstances, in relation to the canvass, shall alter my de

termination. I am a candidate, (and life spared,) a

candidate 1 shall be until the close of the election on

the first Monday of August next. And no matter who shall enter the list as candidates, my pretensions are

submitted to the generous and enlightened voters of

the counties of Dearborn, Franklin, Rush, Decatur, Riplaj and Switzerland, and to their decision I shall

most respectfully bow. April 9, 1833. AMOS LANE.
