mu mg to praise but not afraid to blame." OOWYUO.V, Wednesday, Sept. 24, 1823. . We Lave noticed a communication in ihe Malison paper, signed "A voice from the people," giving a flattering account of the Treasury concerns, and says, that on the first day of January 1S2C, from his calculation, the sta:e debt mil all be paid, and leave a balance ia favor of the state of the sum of $476 24. This calculation appears t3 us, as ficikious as some or the c alculations made by the Committee of ways and wears a few years ago, and we shall be glad if the debt is paid 4 a balance may be found in Ihc Treasurj in ten years heuce The truth is, lYcra a review of the past, there is a very great difference between the estimate of the revenue find the actual receipts at the Tieasury. So much is lost between the duplicates of taxes on the people and payments made at the Treauary, tl:atno one year since oar existence as a state, has the receipts balanced the expenditures. Urtil this takes place, there is but little prospect of t xlinguisbiag the state debt.

The city itself is nearly desert, ed, only about one hundred inhabitants rc main in it. a id of these 7 or 8 die daily The dis ase is of Me most deadly kind, frequently carrying off the patient in 12 hours, & an instance of one dying within two huurs h orn the time of his attack, has ben ountoined. The Physicians seem to difLr in relation to the true character of the dis cas--. Some pronounce it an Epidemic; others say it is occasioned by a cm i upt state of the Atmosphere, which renders necessary lor the inhabitants vo fly from it It is ctatamly the rrwst alarming disease that has ever visaed any portion of our country; not cet. toe plague is more ruahgnant in Us nature.
