FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1833.
fgj- On Saturday next, according to appointment, ,imot Lane, Esq. will address the people, on subjects taxational importance, at the Court House, in this '-e. They may then have an opportunity of passing JJX his qualifications, and learning his views on the various questions which are connected with their injereit. THINGS AS THEY ARE. Our rule has ever been, when we have had control cf a public press, to give "things as they are." We may, and do sometimes err. And it has also been our practice to speak freely and fearlessly upon subjects connected with the public weal, and to make choice among candidates for public favor; and, to use honest endeavors to secure the success of the candidate of our choice. This we conceive to be our privilege and our illy, and from their exercise and performance we shall r.ot now shrink. In this land of boasted equality, we cannot anticipate that with which we have been incidentally threatened proscription we have too high an opinion of the people of this county, to suppose for a moment that they would proscribe a man for 'opinion's 6ake.' If, however, we are mistaken, we must -bide the bent." We make the foregoing remarks that the people may fully understand us, and to let it be known that we understand some of them, even should they speak parables. It is not probable that we shall make any interference in our county elections. The people are fully acquainted with all the candidates, and are well prepared to make a judicious selection. We however feel called upon to exercise our privilege in the Congressional Election. We hear misrepresentation after misrepresentation made, calculated, as intended, to derive the unwary. This, we shall from time to time, u they come to our knowledge, attempt to correct. We are fully aware that every exertion is making, and will continue to be made, to urge upon the Jackson men the pretensions of every other man than Amos Lane, him whom the party alone recognize as their candidate. Some of the party will not support him we know owing more to prejudice which has grown out of misapprehension and misrepresentation than any thing else. We can in truth say, that we hav e been personally acquainted with that gentleman since 1817, thit we know of no act of his life, public or private, since that time, that we can condemn. We believe him to be strictly honest in all his social relations w;th his fellow men. All accard to him talenta of the drst order; Much has been said and more than is true relative to his having been expelled from the bar in 192S, ca a charge of having taken a "fee on both sides," or from two litigants in the same case. We happened in Lawrenceburgh, at the trial, and heard all the testimony, and was never more astonished at any decision than the one here alluded to. The litigants were Gov. Noble and William Hamilton, Esq. of Dearborn; and the proof was substantially this: Hamilton employed Lane, who carried the case through one Court, when he was discharged by Hamilton, and afterwards
taployed by Gov. Noble; This we say is substantial-
'jthe testimony, upon which Lane was expelled. He
was ehortly afterwards reinstated and has ever since
ieen a practitioner at the bar. ft
If what we have stated be not true in any particular,
we would be glad of the evidence to the contrary that
e may correct any erroneous impression that may be nude by thi8 statement.
Let it be understood that our columns are open. "THE CROPS." w"e have been riding for a fews days past through this county, and were truly gratified at the prospects sow in store for our honest yeomen. We have never
een more favorable appearances for an abundant bar-
vest than is now presented; Crops of all kinds look well. What added greatly to our gratification was that s could but conclude, that so fine a prospect would ine many of the Farmers to patronize the press, who ider more unfavorable circumstances would not. We J hope that our prospects may not end in delusion.
j tions under other names, which have been hawk
ed about the country, will not prejudice a work which has cost us much labour, time, and money, and the general accuracy and utility of which we, confidently believe, will be unhesitatingly acknowledged. The Gazetteer will contain about 200 pages duodecimo, and will be accompanied by a corrected map of the state embra-
cing me latest alterations. This notice is given to satisfy the inquiries which are frequently made on the subject of this work. DOUGLASS & MAGUIRE. Indianapolis, June 15, 1833. 4 Til OF JULY. At a meeting pursuant to notice to make arrangements for the celebration of the 4th of Ju

THE CHOLERA. Extract of a U tter from a gentleman in Brownsville, in this State j to his brother in this place, dated "Brownsville, June 13, 1833. "You have, doubtless, heard alarming accounts of the Cholera, in this plate; and for that reason I am the more anxious to write, that you may be fully satisfied on the subject. There have been Teases in this place; 2 of which proved fatal. The first was a child, taken the last of May. I was not present, ffnd did not believe it the Cholera. The second was a saddler, of this idace, who was taken while sitting by my side, taking counsel. Puking was the first indication of the disease, and in half a minute after, be commenced purging; and shortly after spasms commenced, which continued for several hours, w hen by great exertions they were assuaged. From the first attack he was completely cold. He is now in health. "On the evening of the 1st inst. about nine o'clock, Dr. Trembley requested me to go with him to Visit old Mr. Walling, who he informed mc had a violent attack of the Cholera w ith a morbus to it, said I. No, said the Doctor, the real Cholera. As soon as I entered the room, I was fully satisfied that it was the Asiatic Cholera, in all its horrors. His llesh, from the heart to the extremities, was as cold as a clod in the
winter. His voice was as hollow as the sound of
an emptv cask, and his eves were turned up so
that nothing but (he white, in the .lower part
could be seen. 1 lis son, daughter and myscll,
worked with him witfl flannels, keeping up a
constant friction; spirits of hartshorn, laudanum,
' French brandy, ike. &c. were used, but with- : G-ii eiuH-t. Stones so hot, as to burn cotton cr linen, (wrapped in woollen.) were piled about j hi m jrid roeled in the bed with diluted whiskey, j in oruer to produce a steam; but no heat Could be produced. In this way wc continued our cx-
iertions until about five in the evening, when he
expired without a struggle.
"The next case was similar to the last, only
the patient (Mr. Larkix.) had three or lour days
warning. By great exertions the animal heat
was restored, the spasms ceased, and he is now convalescent. On the same day (Thursday, the
Uth,) about 7 o clock, i. M. .bsqr. Ssangston, was attacked with vomiting and purging, and spasms
soon followed. I went down, in company with Drsi Cory and Trembly, a little before dusk, and found him in about the same situation as I described Mr. Walling. I staid with him during the night, and every exertion was used that was in the power of Doctor or nurse, but fruitless were all our exertions. The hand cf death was upon him, as I discovered when I first entered the room. He died about 5 in the 'morning, without a gasp. He retained his reason to the last; was from the first attack fully aware of his fate, and died like a Socrates; declaring to me that he was prepared, willing and ready to go. He wras a good magistrate and a good citizen. We have also lost a good citizen by the death of Mr. Walling. The other three cases were less virulent. They have all recovered. No new cases. "Sunday, 7 o'clock, June 16. "There has been two new cases of Cholera, since writing the foregoing, both girls about 10 years of age. Both were taken so sudden that they fell on the floor, on the first attack, with all the symptoms of an apoplectic fit. They are now fast recovering.
"One remarkable circumstance in the cases of
Mr. Walling and Mr. Sangston, was, at the time and before their death, they were entirely cold, but within ten or fifteen minutes after, they became warm, of a natural temperament and moved their fingers and toes. The pulse, after deaths returned, natural and regular, and so continued for a considerable space of time. The contracted muscles, at death, became relaxed, and suffered the small blood vessels to do their office, by carrying the blood (heat) to the extremities; the valves, before, being closed by the contraction of the muscles."'
The Ohio river for a few days in the first of this week rose unusually rapid, and on Wednesday had attained a height several feet above any
freshet at this season of the year for a number of years past. Much of the corn on the low bot
toms has been destroyedj In this neighborhood, although there is yet every indication of a plentiful corn crop, the damage sustained must prove ruinous to the present prospects of many industri
ous and needy citizens. We have heard of several who have lost their entire crop. The wa
ter has been tailing since Ihursday. Lazvrenceburgh Palladium. Enoch M'Carty, Esq. one of the candidates for Congress in this district, passed through this place'a few days since, on a tour to the lower part of this district. Mr. M. is a gentleman of very pleasing manners and exterior, and possessed of respectable talents. He will most likely appear before the electors, according to custom,
on the stump, when they will have an opportu
nity to determine upon his Claims to favor for themselves. Ib.
