THE MISSIONARIES. From the Journal of Commerce, wo make the following extract from the Report of the American Board of Missions : "A memorial to the President of the United States was prepared by the counsel for the prisoners in their behalf, praying him to interpose his authority for enforcing the decision of the Court. But after consultation it was deemed inexpedient to present it in the present stage of the case. It was also, after

consultation with the friends of the

Board and of the Indians, in Congress, i President for inconsistency in acting on the

titinn f iat actual provisions ot the Constitution, instead

telligencer. That the public may judge 01

session."' Now, why did they not apply to the Pre

sident to interpose ? We are told explicitly that, after consultation it teas deemed inexpedient''' to present the memorial "in the PRESENT STACE OF THE CASE." Nor Would they make any application to Congress upon the subject. The reason for this is obvious. The Board of American Missions, upon consultation with the counsel of the prisoners, ascertained that it was a case still pending, and within the cognizance of the courts, and that the President could not, without violating the rights of the courts, and all the principles of the Constitution "interpose his

authority for enforcing the decision of the court? And they furthermore ascertained fn ;n their counsel, that for the same reason both branches of Congress, united with the Executive, could not interfere with a question pending between the courts. Upon what pretence does Mr. Clay in person, as well as the opposition prints, beginning with the Bank Gazette, charge the President with failing in his duty to the missionaries, - when even their own counsel declare that he could not properly be asked to interpose in their behalf? The whole system on which the unprincipled partizans of the Bank and Mr. Clay act, is a tissue of deception. They know that the President cannot rightfully move in this business, and yet they pretend he can. They know that the Board of Missions have expressly declined addressing a memorial to the President; and yet, the scrupulous, highminded opposition, have i etually forged

and published a letter signed with the name of the President, responding to this call, which' the Board cf Missions declare was never made on him. Globe.

Cholera in Mississltti. A letter from a highly respectable planter in Mississippi, published in the Nat. Gazette, has the following information relative to the health of that country, which may be interesting. "We have had some sickness and a few deaths. We have had the genuine Asiatic cholera among our blacks; at least we have had many cases attended with violent spasms, and all other symptoms of the Asiatic. I have had on one of mv nlaces 40

cases out of 65 souls, seme of them very

violent, lhey all yield readily to a large dose of calomel, in a pill (20 grains) with two tea spoons of paragoric, immediately after the pain appeared, and the application of a poultice of peach leaves (made bystewing the leaves in whiskey in a close vessel over a slow fire, and spread thick on flannel) over the whole abdomen, as warm

of all principle and usage in relation to constitutional amendments, as to give his proposition a retrospective effect, and make it retro-active as to the President himself, and cut him off from the privilege of serving even a single term under the nev; Constitution. The object of Mr. McDuflie was obvious to every one. It was to disfranchise General Jackson, who had been called upon by popular feeling to become a second time a candidate, and to open the way for his friend the Nullifier, to present himself for the support of the Jackson party at the close of his Vice-Presidential career. No one has been so clamorous against the

Treatise on ChoSei-a.

From the Globe. One of the standing cavils of the opposition against General Jackson, is, that lie has not substituted, as the guide of his official conduct, the amendments which he has suggesled to the constitution, for the constitution itself. For instance he has recommended, as a safe provision, that members of Congress should not be allowed to take office from an executive, on whom (accord

ing to the constitution as it now is,) they have the .right when the election devolves x on the House, to confer the power from which they may look for an equivalent in some other office. This the President justly thinks tends to the corruption of the government. So he thinks, when re-eligibility in a President is allowed under the constitution, a corrupt and ambitious man may be tempted to abuse his power to perpetuate it. These views we think are just, but the

question is, shall the President act upon his views of what the government should be, rather than 'what it is? or in other words, shall he substitute his private opinions, for the principles of the constitution? Shall he

disfranchise members of Congress upon an abstract opinion of his own, and refuse t hem appointments for which they are eligible, and which his and their constituents require to be conferred on them? He did not hesitate, on believing that it was his duty to conform to the spirit of the instrument which he was called to administer, and therefore ltfs riot made any distinction between members of Congress and others, in making his appointments. Upcn the same view of the subject he has yielded to what lie considered to be the wish of a majority cf his countrymen, and has

the President to do what he now so vocifer

ously condemns: From the In'eHIgencer, Dec. IS, 18-23. "The Democratic Press calls the attention of its readers to the fact, that when General Jackson resigned his seat in the Senate of the United States, in the month

of October, 1825, he accompanied his resignation with some remarks upon a proposed amendment of the Constitution of the United States, restricting the range of se

lection of executive oflicers; in the course of which he says: "I would impose a provision, rendering any member of Congress ineligible to office, under the General Government, during the term for which he was elected, and for two years thereafter, except in cases of judicial oflicers." In support of

this suggestion, the General otlered several arguments, one of which was, "that the morals of the country would be improved,1 by such a restriction. He further said, that "if important appointments continue to devolve on the Representatives in Congress, it requires no depth of thought to be convinced that corruption will be the order of the day? The Editor of tho Press considers these recorded declarations of General Jackson, as conclusive evidence that none of the members of the new cabinet can be selected

from amongst the members of Congress, or from amongst those who shall have been members at any time within the preceding two years.

We hope that the inference of the Press

will not be confirmed by the fact. We trust Gen. Jackson will, before this time, hare reconsidered this ??iattcr, and that he will not feel himself bound, in his selection of constitutional advisers, by his former declarations of w hat, in his opinion, the constitution ought to be, but rather by the constitution as it is. More than three years have elapsed since that letter of his was written; and, notwithstanding the great weight which the known ooinion of General Jackson might have been expected to have on those States especially which have devoted themselves

to his elevation to the Presidency, let it be recollected that not a single State in the Union has seconded this proposition of the

General in its extent, and few of them in I any degree. He has therefore, as a rule of action, the constitution, not only as it is, but as the States are determined it shall remain. There is no clear incompatibility that we perceive, between an abstract opinion of ichat the constitution ought to be, and the practical execution of its provisions as 'a ' 1

A man in the rear of India street, the same season was seized suddenly with cholera, attended with cramps and spasms, and died in a few hours after death the corpse hail the same blue appearance that is described as distinguishing the recent cases in Eliot street. Some vcars since, about fifteen miles

from Boston, a number of people who lived in the neighborhood of a large quantity of

stagnant water were seized with cholera, and nearly all died. These cases we understand from an experienced' physician, bore an exact resemblance to those lately reported as Malignant Cholera in this citv. Further we have understood that it is the opinionof one of the most eminent of the New York physicians, who is now, or was recently here, that the disease which has been reported as Malignant Cholera in Boston, is

not the same as that which has prevailed in New York, and yet lingers there and that many medical gentlemen here coincide

LETTER, On the Epidemic Cholera, of Albany, addressed to Thomas Spencer, M. D, P.esident of the Medical Society of the State of New. Yoik: Albany, August 23, 1S3-.J. Deak Sir Your letter of tho tith has been received, but the press of professional engagements has been so great, as to have

put it out of my power to answer it sooner. Even now, I am indebted to a fit of sickness, which has for the last two days, confined mo to the house, for leisure to reply to your en

quiries. My reply must be brief, as my strength will not permit me to enter into much detail. Besides all that I have to say can be compressed into a very small compass. 1st. Cholera has, in every instance that has come to my knowledge, in this city, been

preceded by more or less indisposition. The first symptom that attracts my notice is,

a white slim u tongue: and 1 consider the i danger of an immediate attack more or less i

I urgent according to its degree. When this

is well marked, there is usually a diminution of appetite, and generally occasional qualmishness of stomach. The eve has not its wonted brightness, nor the countenance its usual animation. The hand in this stago will be found warm, and the pulse quickened. This state may continue for some days and eventually, in a good constitution, go off without the occurrence of anv more seri-

cuations from the bowels ami stomach. Diarrhiea ami other premonitory symptom may not pre cod j cholera more "than a f.w hours, or even a shorter time; but I belie w tho white tongue precedes it invariably fur at least twenty tour hours, and often for a week. This ulex, th. refine, affords patients an opportunity of attending to. themselves ere it be too late; for malignant cholera is a disease to be prevented, nut cured. Ths functions of the whole mucous mombraners cf the stomach and intestinal canal seems to be deranged as much as that -f tho tongue. The bile, though secreted, does not find its wav into t!u duodenum.

1 his may bo owing to spr.nn of the biliary duct, or of the muscular fibres of the duodenum where the duet enters it, or simply to the tcdundant mucus plugging up its orifice. The digestion must necessarily become distribute, and, a vitiated coylo is in consequent carried into the circulation, to contaminate tho mass cf iluids, and to disturb

all the other functions. It is probable that the same influence, whether atmospheric nr telluric, which disturb the functions cf the mucous mcmbrance of the digestive apparatus, mav at the same time imnair the tunclions of tho mucous membrancc of the lungs, rendering it Uss capable of acting on tho air respired, and of exerting the necessary

influence on the venous blood. Or, it may so happen that the application of cold and damp may check tha cutaneous transpiration, and affect the mucous mcmbrance of

the above mentioned symptoms arc followed

by head ache, sickness at stomache, and diarrhoea. The head ache and sickness may be slight, but in a vast majority of cases, a severe attack of cholera is preceded by well marked diarrheea. 1 have not known a single instance in which it was altogether

WASHINGTON AND HIS SECOND VETO. It is another singular coincidence, that Gen. Washington interposed his veto twice

on bills which had passed both Houses of

Congress. One, on the Apportionment

Bill; and one on the act to "fix the military establishment of the United States."' Gen. Jackson has also twice interposed his veto. Once on the Maysville Road Bill and its fellow appropriation; and once on the mammoth Bank Bill. Neither of the Harbor Bills were vetoed:

but being sent up too late for full examination, were left unsigned, and his opinion given at the ensuing session on the subject in favor of all such parts of them as were national in their character and importance.

distinguishes the diarrhoea which precedes

the cholera from ordinary diarrhoea, unless it be the total absence of biliarv secretion in

the discharges. Bile, 1 believe, is never

tack of malignant cholera. Jt bile be lound in the dejections, the cholera will be of the common kind, should it follow a diarrhoea.

In the ce-mmtneemtnt of the epidemic, I was afraid of using emetics for fear of bringing on cholera, as we have been taught to fear by European physicians. In the first stage, I now use ipecac, and sulphate of zinc, separately or combined without hesitation, and generally with the best effects. I generally give them in combination, in the proportion of twenty five grains, or half a drachm of ipecac to frem thuo to five grains of sulphate of zinc, in a wineglass full of warm water.

It has not been confined to any part of the city. It has been as severe on the top of the hill, which is high, dry and sandy, as near the river, where it is low and damp.
