The Governor when appointed by Congress to a lucrative oflice, for which he did not feci himself qualified answered
"I shall always make it a point of
conscience not to accept 01 any appoint
meat which I cannot execiite Twith hon
or to myself and justice to the Commonwealth." This kind of scrupulosity is rare now a-days. On another occasion he wrote:
" If has always appeared to me an inscrutable mystery how men of honor can reconcile it to themselves voluntarily to accept of a public trust, and be
indifferent whether they execute it or not; or at least to suffer themselves to be impeded in the discharge of it by such of their own private affairs as they must needs have known before they accepted the office, would occur." Livingston was in the habit of contributing excellent articles, literary and
political, to the magazines and newspapers. Several members of the legisla
ture of New Jersey "expressed their dissatisfaction that theChief Magistrate
of the Stale should contribute to peri
odical works."! The Governor desisted
for several years.

Cholera at Tampico The schooner
Emperor, Captain Boylan, arrived here
this morning from Tampico, whence
she left on the 9th tilt. Letters receiv
ed by her to the 8th instant, state that the cholera was raging there, and that
the mortality was eno-trnous.
A letter dated the 7th, states that in
the fourteen days previous to the 7th ii;eee had been 600 deaths from the diireasc, and that on the 0th the deaths amounted to one hundred and thirty.
The fatality we believe is unprece
dented in this country. The town of
i ampico is estimated to contain 3000 souls; by some there is said to be between 4 and 5000 inhabitants . On the 8lh, the day before the Emperor sailed, there was said to have been one hundred and eighty three deaths. We understand that ii was generally confined to the lower classes; and but one foreign mer
chant had died of it. The American
Consul, Mr Robinson, was at the last accounts perfectly well.

The New Orleans Advertiser report.: 9 deaths from the 2-!J to the "2 1th June-
inclusive. It does not state how many of them were occasioned by cholera.
By the Galcnian of 21st June, wc learn that the cholera has again made it" appearance in that town. It broke out on the 19th, and raged with an unusual degree of malignity. In the first forty-eight hours fifteen deaths occurred, and amongst them arc numbered some of the most respectable and influential citizens. In the Springfield, (Illinois,) neralJ, of the '29th nit. it is stated that an endorsement on the waybill had been received by the postmas
ter of Galena, dated on the 23d, which stated that, in the first three days, the
whole number of cases was thirty-three, out of which were eighteen deaths. This would induce us to believe that it was then abating in violence.
A singtji.r fact. In many parts of this county the chickens arid other fowls have died in great numbers with all the symptoms of the Cholera. A gentleman of our acquaintance administered spirits of Camphor to several chickens which were apparently near death, and they instantly revived and speedily recoyered. Fraitffort Ky. Commonrecalth.
