jpraia of opium in each, followed by th soluble tartar, will relieve all the symptoms, and also speedily restore healthy secretions. In "five cases out of six, in the insipient stages, I find no other mean3 necessary, except
what relate to diet and regimen. When called on to severer cases when the hands are cold and moist, the tongue coated and white, cramps in the limbs, and frequent and copious discharges from the stomach and bowels of a fluid resembling rice water, I never bleed, having thought it hurtful in that stage. Th-j great object then is to check the inordinate discharges. I have found a tea spoonful of equal parts of sulphuric ether and laudanum, in half a wine-glass of water, more useful in checking the vomiting, than any other remedy. The first dose is usually rejected very soon. In that case I direct its repetition. It seldom happens that mors i3 required. To moderate the evacuations from the bowels, enemas of a tea-spoonful of laudanum in a wineglass full of starch water, or milk, or gruel, repeated two or three times, at intervals of half an hour if rejected, 'are extremely beneficial. When the vomiting and purging are checked by these means, the patient often complains of great distress about the region of the stomach. In that case a pill of one grain of opium and ten of calomel, will be very useful. I have also found the application of a large emollient poultice as warm as it can be borne over the stomach and bowels, to give a great and speedy relief. The calomel in such cases should, in the course of a few hours, be worked otf by the soluble tartar, as before directed. Blisters to the epigastrium are very useful in lessening the irratibility of the stomach which is apt to continue troublesome. They are al so useful in lessening the sense ci sin:;:ng which is often oppressive. la the last and worst condition in which wa are likely to be called, when the body is blue, the eyes sunken, and the countenance ghastly, the hands cold, and the fingers as if soaked in water, no pulse at the wrist, and a cold clammy sweat bedewing the surface much may be tried but little good can be done. I have as yet seen no recovery from such a state; but there has been several in states nearly approximating to it. It is however, our duty to persevere while there is life, as there is at least in this disease, some faint hope of success. In the stage of extreme collapse there is no vomiting or purging, or much apparent suffering. The patient is restless and constantly wants cold water or ice, and should you gratify him in his request, the more you give, the more he craves. In this stage the voice is nearly gone, the urinary secretions is suspended, and indeed all secretions. The sweat appears to be a passive exudation of the serum of the blood through the pores of the skin. The only functionaries are a feeble respiration, and a circulation only through the larger vessels and through the head. In the stage of collapse, various stimulating applications are made to the surface. Such as frictions with dry flannel, with heated Indian meal, or mustard flour; liniments containing ammonia, camphor, cantharides, nitric acid, &c. bottles of hot. water to the feet, hands, pit of the stomach, back, &c. Sinapisms to the chest, bowels, wrists. Internally some give brandy in repeated doses with or without opium others give only a a small quantity once and consequently trust to less doubtful means. I, myself, use internally, the aromatic mixture recommended by the Edinburgh Board of Health, in the quantity of two tea-spoonfuls every half hour for a couple of hours, and afterwards use aqua ammonia?, or carb, ammonia in form of pills, in doses proportioned to the urgency of the case. Only use opiates to allay irritation or relieve pain. In this stage I have found enemas of ricewater or arrow root, containing a wine glass full of hot port or madcria wine, every half hour or every hour, more useful in sustaining the strength, and promoting the re-action than all other means. In the few bad cases in which I have had the pleasure of seeinga recovery, I have attributed it chiefly to their influence. It is a mode of tramfusior. rooro natural and let me add, more safe than that by the veins. In this stage I have seen the nitrious oxide used, but with no sensible effect. It produced no excitement or exhileration. The lunsis seemed to be insensible and dead. I have not bled but one in that blue stage, and then it was under the impression that the powers of life were oppressed in consequence of the engorgement of the large vessels near the heart. It lessened the blueness, and for a short time relieved the respiration ; but when collapse comes on, as it generally dose after copious evacuations from the stomach and bowels, I hold bleeding to be inadmissible. The serous part of the blood is already in a great part removed, and I cannot conceive that the patient is to be benefitted by removing the crassamentum also. As to preventives, I would recommend the wearing of flannel next the body, to preserve the functions of the skin; to avoid night air and exposure to rain and damp as much as possible, and particularly to guard against wet feet. I would not advise any great cr sudden change of diet. Any thing that disturbsa healthy system is to be avoided as inexpedient if not dangerous. The cold bath, or shower bath, and moderate exercise in the open air, are advantageous in strengthening the constitution and in lessening the liability to the epidemic influence. The tepid bath m persons of deliberated habits would be better than the cold. The people tint are well ought to take no medicine? SB preventives. (Joed health is a bett?r preventive than nil the articles in the Manila. Medica. When the tongue becomes while, and the digestion disturbed, patient? should tskc no medicine nor make any great change in diet or ragimcn without tu advice of some skilful physician. For the last six weeks my brother and myself have prescribed for from thirty to
fifty patients daily, five-sixths of whom were aifectcd with some modification of the prevailing epidemic. Out of this number eleven have died of cholera. Three of them
were in a state of collapse before we were called: there were cases of relapse from exposure and error in xliet; and one occurred in a person of debilitated constitution. In the tcmaining cases, though called in before the stage of collapse took place, our etiorts proved unavailing in preventing a fatal termination. I mention these facts, not for the purpose of showing that our success has been at all times extraordinary, but for the purpose of showing in how large a proportion of cases the disease is manageable if taken in time. If the public at large were duly impressed with the importance of attending to early symtoms, this fell scourge might be stripped of its terrors. I believe that the white tongue to which I have endeavored to draw your attention, gives the earliest intimation of a tendency to this formidable disease; and a3 it exists for a considerable length of time before an attack, the patient has sufficient warning of its approach. I remain dearsir, Very respec! fully yours, JAMES NcNAUGIITON. From the Columbus Sentiiieh Oct. 18. AIjsL HAIL OHIO-'-' The Veto Triumphant. THE ENEMY PROSTRATED. The Central Corresponding Committee of the State have the satisfaction to present their distant friends with the following re sults of our late election. 13y the list annexed, it will be seen that tha Democratic party of Ohio have achieved a proud and unprecedented victory over the most unholy of all combinations that ever banded together for political purposes. Lucas' majority for Governor, over the combination candidate, Lyman, is estimated to be from 8 to 10,000. Making every allowance, it can certainly be no less than 5,000. "Bank or no Bank," the honest democrats of Ohio marched up to the polls, and the triumph they have achieved is the reward of their fidelity and firmness. We have a majority of the members elected to Congress, and must have a most decided majority in the Legislature of from 8 to 10. Stanbcrry, the notorious Stanberry, is put down, and DUNCAN Me ARTHUR, the Clay Governor Yes, Duncan McArthur, who declined a poll for a re-election to the Gubernatorial Chair, to run fur Congress in the Chillicotho District, where he and his friends were certain of success, has been defeated by Major Allen, a young man of fine talents, and great personal and political wort!, who never before held an office. Irvin, too, who though a professed friend of Jackson, but who voted for the Bank in Congress, has been defeated by Judge Chancy; and William Russell, the last and only remaining Apostate, has been put down by almost an unanimous vote. Add to this, if any thing be wanted to complete the climax, that Allen Trimble, late Governor of Ohio, has been defeated in an election to the Legislature, by a majority of 490 in his own District and County, by Mr. Joseph J. McDowell, an intelligent and valuable member of the party, who never before held a public smuoij. oo mucii ior uie vi'iiu. ivs me Kentuckians would say, our opponents "are rowed up salt Wrer," and at the November election, a yet more glorious triumph awaits us.

The election for the State Legislature is passed and its results are before the People. They have now seen the danger to which we pointed with so much anxiety for weeks past. They have seen the Bank crrayed against the People in all the power of the ARISTOCRACY in all the efficacy of GOLD and in all the shapes of violence, intimidation and bitterness. The Bjnk men have done their worst. Time and space would fail us to detail the unprincipled means made use of to buy, brow-beat, intimidate or mislead the honest, hard-working yeomanry, upon whom rest, in these times, the last hope of the country. Money, in a number of instances, was lavishly offered for votes against the administration ticket, and wc are hearing every day of new instances of this kind. At some of the polls from which we have heard, Democrats were seized and their tickets taken from their hands and torn up before their faces. Three dollars a piece was offered to two Democratic voters in a neighboring town, if they would vote the Clay and Bank Ticket. From all that we can learn we think it not improbable that the Bank has spent FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in efforts to bribe ihe free people of NewJersey. Think of that. We now call upon our Democratic fellow citizens to talc the alarm! BE UP AND DOING! Immediately organize and prepare for the final election in November. JACKSON against the BANK and the Bank Candidates. Down with bribery down with corruption down with the Bank down with the Bank Candidates!
OrLet committees be eppointed in evety township to prosecute every Bank agent who offers a bribe. (rr Let the Democracy rouse in its strength! One more ef'ort for the righis oi the People ths rights cf suffrage. Cm more blow for liberty and our country.
THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. The result of the recent election was no test in Pennsylvania of the strength of President Jackson. The election of Governor, in spite of all exertions to the contrary depended mainly on a question of state policy, and those who expected to put down President Jackson, by defeating Governor Wolf, will soon be convinced of their political folly. General Jackson we have no doubt, will receive the State of Pennsylvania by a very large majority. ILirrhburgh Reporter. ' MI0 Hg AFS. DEMOCRACY HAS TRIUMPHED ! Returns have been received from 48 Counties, and enough is known to warrant ns in placing the majority for Robert Lucas, the Jackson candidate for Governor, at sevextiioi sam)! What a signal triumph we have gained! The Jacksonians of Ohio have met the combined forces of Clay and Wirt and conquered them. Against us were opposed all the active elements of An-ti-Jacksonism Clayism, Antimasonry, Nullification, all concentrated their efforts upon Darius Lyman; and, in ihe rear of all, and stimulating all, the Bank exrrtcd its well known potency. It w::s fearful odds to contend with: but the Genius of Democracy in the singleness of a holy cause, unaided by the golden appliances of wealth and corruption, has bven, and, wo Oust, ever will be, TRIUMPHANT. Let the -first riti in y OF ZVOVEMI5ER roll Oil the friends of tllO Hero of New Orleans, will achieve anothe r victory still more glorious and decisive. From information to which we are induced to attach the utmost credit, we have the satisfaction 1o announce that twelve, if nut thirteen, of the members of Congress out of the nineteen in this State, have been elected by the Jackson party. Wo are also assured that in the State Legislature, a Jackson majority prevails in cacli house. In many counties, where, heretofore, the opposition ticket has prevailed, either wholly or partially, the Jackson men have carried every thing from Governor down to Coroner. Actional Republican.

We obtain the following distressing pnrticubus from the Essex Register of Tuesday: Three years have elapsed since the islands have been visited wiih rain in any considerable epiantitics. Tin; 1 md has bt come parched and has yielded nothing to the cultivator. All kinds of vegetation are withering and passing away. .Most of the animals in the Islands have died frun starvation. At every port the utmost misery existed among all classes. It was no uncommon thing to sec women and children gathering from the streets, old bones that lu.d been thrown away, and eagerly gnawing them. The dead ami dying arc to be met with on every side. Mr. Gardiuer,acting American Consul, computed that fiom '2 to 1 1 souls perished at Port Praya daily. A gentleman who was known to have a small sunply of provisions, was obliged to guard his doors with his slaves to prevent the people from entering and taking it from bistable. There are IVem 00 to 70,1:00 souls on the islands, who, unk'js assistance be speedily rendered, must peiish. TUey confidently expect aid from this country, and tha parting words of the Governor General to Capt. Ruler, (who brings the intelligence,) were, "For God's sake tell them to send us something." It is to bo hoped that the intelligence of their suffering condition will be extensively circulated, and measures taken towards relieving them. Boiton Statesman. Shading Piracy and Murder.
