Tue Praacue =The citizens of New Orleans
are beginning to wahifest tmuch alartn at the ap
proach of a new and terrible disease, known as
the plague, and which is represented as being
more terrible sund devastating than the Asiatic
cholera. The Boston Medical Journal, in an arti
cle on the subject remarks :
- “Itis certain, from accounts received both here
and in England. that the true plague has been in
troduced into Maderia. and its work has been re
ally appalling. "T'he question has been frequently
been agitated, will that dreadlinl disease ever reach
this continent I ‘T'here is reason to believe it will :
the wonder is why it has not already. Our com
mercial interconrse is vxtensive with various ports
of Africa and Asiatic shores of the Mediterranean,
where this great scourge is never dead or dying,
but simply repo ing from one period to another,
like a fatigued giant, to gather new strength for a
renewal of slanghter. Should it come, it may be
hooed there will he found more science, and a
stronger barrier of medical skill to disarm it of ite
terrors, than has been exhibited in tropical climates,
orin the filthy scorge-inviting regions of Moslem
Turkey. Plague appertains to the Arab in this
age: and where the same condition of things ex
ists as characterizes their mode of life, their social
condition and the absence of all common sense ef
forts to avert or arrest it, it will have an abiding
foothold.
Asorner Lamserr.—John Schafer, of Mont.
gomery county, N Y., who died a few days ago,
aged sixty-two, is described us follows, by the Rev.
Mr Rinehart:- “The deceased wasn t{m largest
man we ever saw. The coffin was sufficienly
large to contain five men of ordinary size, mensur
ing in width three feet four inches, in the clear,
and three feet in height. Three men could have
worked in it at the same time. with convenience.
It required six men to take him from the bed on
' which he expired. This wus done by raising a
platform, removing the headbonrd of the bedstead,
~and taking him out endwise. They conld not get
the coffin into the house; but by taking off the
' door-tacing of an old vacated house that stood in
| the yard, they got into that. and carried the corpwe
thither on three empty bags. A wagon and four
horwes stood prepared, and ten men placed the
~coffin and ite coments upon it. In letting the cof
fin down into the grave they hnd two lines doub
led. one at each end, and one large well-rope in
the middie, und seventeen men to let down this
flem sprinkle of mortality to its last howe on earth.

Height of Waves —The best anthority for the
height of waves of the ocean, is Capt. Wilkes, of
the United States Exploring Expedition. When
entering the Pacific Ocean from Cape Horn, in
Febraary 1839, he had two vessels with him,
which gave him a very good opportunity to ob-.
serve and ascertain the height of the waves. The
vessels were two waves apart, and ns they were
in the trongh, they conld see exactly where the
line of the waves cut the mast of the other ship.
After several careful observations, he found the
height of the waves were 32 feet,—their velocity
264 wiles an hour,—and the breadth of the waves
about 380 leet.

Thomas W. Dorr, Philip Allen Jr.,, Wm B. Law
rence, and Stephen A. Wright. The substitutes
are Welcome B. Sayles, Peleg W Gardiner, Hez
ekiah C. Wardwell and Schuyler Fisher. Mr.
Dorr being unable 1o attend, Mr. Sayles has gone
to Balumore in his place; and Mr. Fisher has ta
ken the place of Mr. Wright, whose business af
fairs have called him to California. where he for
werly resided. The delegates or substitutes from
this State are now at their posts in Baltmore.
At the time of going to press yesterday we had
received no inlormation respecting the Conven
tion, whose session had then commenced. The
papers are filled with speculations respecting the
result; and the imagination of Whig editors and
letter writers is unnsually fertile on this ocension.
The extreme statement which we have seen from
that quarter is, that, on the second ballot, Gen.
Cass will lose all his supporters! The wish is
doubtless father to the thought, as no man ean be
named whose prospects for an election inthe great
West would compare with his. A few days will
throw mach light on this subject ; and our readers
as well as the Whig speculators are advised to wait
io patience. On the Whig side. thequestion is be
tween Scott and Fillmore, and the nomination of
the former, which appeared to be a forgone con
clusion, is at thispresent moment less certain than
betore. Fillmore's chances are improving. Web
ster’s hope is like the giving up of the ghost.—
Nothing short of a miracle can save him.
' An61.0-Saxon.~This is a misnomer of the Brit
ii-ll race and their American descendants. The
Danes and Northmen gave an important element
to the composition of their blood, and the Norman
Celts another. The Celte proper occupied the
western part of England, probably at one time the
whole of it. So that, as Mr. Forsyth, (in his His
"tory of T'rial by Jury,) remarks, it is foolish for
“the English (nnd Americans) to be forever talking
aboutthe Anglo-Saxon rece. as if all are the chil
"dren of Anglo-Saxons, and to claim exclusive pa
“rentage from a conguered (ribe.
i The name of the British people is therefore
properly the Celtic, Saxon, Danish, Scandina
vian, Norman race. [t probably derives its most
‘specific and characteristic qualities from the
‘Scandinavian,such asits hardy practical constitution
of mind, Its roving propensity, its bull dog pluck
and vulor, ite love of conquest and acquisition op
the territories, and property of other nations, with
ontmuch scruple in regard to the means. The old
north piratical blood still works in both branches,
English and American; both of which, notwith.
standing the meliorating influences of Christianity,
have far more religion than morality ; uniting the
love of money to the fear of God, and living upon
the maxims—poverty is a crime—' seize and
getrich’ ;—lvoking to the end to justify the means.
All this may sound harshly ; bat it is what other
nations say of us. Th ysay that even our wmis
sionary ships are freighted with rum and guns, for
a little good trade with the * savages”, belore

theless by its robust attributes this piratical race is

This is something new at a public meeting—for
the orator to uttempt to repay his obligations to
his friends by asking them to stand up aund receive
three cheers from the audience. Without the re

Carnovice.—A question has arisen in some of
the pupers whether the Catholic emigrants and
their descendents remain very generally in the
Catholic faith. It it is said that twelve years ago,
(accurding to Bishop England of Charleston,) the
whole American Catholic population amounied to
1,200.000. Adding since that time for births, con
vertsin the iarger cities, and the constant stream of
emigration from Ireland and Gerwany, and the
total Catholic population would now be at least 3,.
200.000. Butthe whole number of Catholics now
claimed by their ecclesiastical authorities is 1.930,-
000. Deduct this from 3.200,000 and the differ
ence is 1,220,000 the loss of the church, say about
one third=il the facts above related be correct,—
We have seen no comments upon these state

GEN. CAS3. \
The leading article in the Herald of Satarday
22d ult., entitled ** Gen, Cass and the Presidency,”
meets my entire approbation. It takes the high
est democratic ground and sustains it by well sta
ted facts. ‘T'he General's character and course at
Washington in social as well as public life, are so
well known 10 me, that [ can endurse some of
those facts from personal knowledge. Having
recently daily witnessed his remarkable health
and vigor both of body and mind, and his almost
youthful vivacity, the intimation of “old fogyism"
as applied to him, excites my indignation, on ac
count of its extreme absurdity and injustice. . The
! following remark, thonzh severe, is strictly trus,
and strictly just,
“To stigmatize soch men as James Buchunan,
Lewis Cass and some others who have been aim
ed, as ** Old fogies,” superannuated dotards and
imbeciles while yet in the full vigor of their capae.
ity, and never possessing mora completely the
confidence of their friends, is not merely in bad
| sophomorical taste, but indicates a deplorable im-
I beeility in some of those misplaced representa
tives of the people whom nature evidently design
ed to ocenpy a fur humbler sphere of action, much
nearer home. under the closer watch and goard of
their constituents.” |
The more one sees and knows of Gen. Cass,
both in public and private life, the more hearuly
will he assent to the following remarks :
“When we eny that Gen. Cass is prefminent
among the men of the front line of our party in
the intellectnal, moral, socinl and political quali
| ties. which fit a man for the Presidontial office, we
speak within the bounds of truth and moderation.”
’ As President instead of beinga cypherinhis cabinet
| the agent of his own assistants. the tool of their in
l trigues—a merns ornamental fignure head to the ship
of state—he will be most emphatically the selfrely
ing, self poised and efficient executive power of
the union intended by the Constitntion.” * Gen,
l Cass is in the full vigor of his life and has in him
| yet a vigorouns campnign and an efficient term of
four years By careful abstinence from all uleo
“holic stimnlants he has preserved unimpaired the
strength of his constitntion ; and now at the age
ofsixty nine years and seventh months, he is as |
healthy.steong and active, bodily and mentally, as |
“he was at filty.”’ ‘

common remark of the housga that Gen. Cass was
certninly a practical Democrat. becanse he requir

This was probably owing to his early Western pi
oneer habita of waiting npon himself
What is said in the article of * the purity of the
General's private life,”” is trane to the letter. His
private life challenges universal scrutiny., s
morals cannot be questioned. His example in
this respect ne Chief Magistrate of our Republic
would be of sulutary influence, and is, in my opin
ion, a qualification not to be disregarded by lovers
of their country.
T'he following statement is strictly true to my
certain knowledge .
“ Gen. Cass istriendly to the sovercignty of the
People, to nniversal suffrage, to equal rightsto the
principle of the Rhode Island canse of 1842, and
1o the proceedings of the People in supportofit.”
He is indeed ** thus bronght home warmly to the
regards of the democracy of onr State,”
Gen, Cass expressly denies the position taken
by President Tyler in 1542 that the voters for
what was called our People’s Constitution had not
the .ight to establish that Constitntion, without the
concurrence of their own reprusentative ageuts,
called by Mr. Tyler * the authorities”’ He con
tends, that these voters had the right, independent
of the opposition of these existing temporary ** an,
thorities' under the caarter : and this [ nunderstand
to be the democratic doctrine throughout the Un
ion. This doctrine was not put down at the last
Presidentinl election. The noise of drums and
trumpets then prevented its being heard and at
tended to as an issue before the People. Gen. Cass'
doctrine on this subject, [ understand to be this,
that if the People cannot change their Constitu
tion of government without the consent of iheir
temporary and accountable representative agents,
they cannot change it with their consent; because
the consent of these agents can add nothing to the
right and just power of their principles.
I beg leave to quote for the renewed attention
and consideration of the readers of the Herald the
two concluding paragraphs of this article :
“The same regard to the honorable obligations
of our party leads us to hope that the chivalrona
Butler, a Democrat withoutfear, withou' fuult and
without reproach. may become our candidate, as
before, for the second office in the gift of the Peo
le
v These nominations will, we believe, be highly
satisfactory to all sections of the couniry, rally
our party to an animated, vigorous and hopefnl
struggle, and condnct us to a victory both of prin
ciples and of mmen which will leave us nothing to
regret, reassure the ascendancy of the democratic
party, and guaranty loug years of good govern
ment and prosperity to the Republic”
So mote it be. VERITAS,
[ The foregoing article was prepared for our last
paper, but was unavoidably postponed. )
Sovurr Caroriva.—The recent action of the
South Carolina Convention is a virtual abandoun
ment of the project of secession ; and it was prob
ably in consequence of this result that Mr Rheut
resigned his reat in the U. 8. Senate. **That ac
tion,” says the Charleston Mercury, “is now the
supreme law, for us and lor all. and we bow before
ity anthority.”
We cannot but think that the Seces<ion papers
“breathe more freely,” now thatthey have escaped
from their fulsa position,—~and that they secretly
rejoice that the Convention has acted so wisely.
It was a great point gained when Secession was
sapplanted by “Co-operation” The Co opera
tiomste were ostensibly in favor of Secession, but
not until other Southern States counld be induced
to co-operate in the movement. They knew well
that so long as the Compromise should be faith
fulily observed, no other State would join Senth
Carolina in seceding from the Umon, and that
therefore Co-operation was in effect antagonistie
to Secession. The patriotic counsel of Virginia
at the eritical moment produced a soothing effect,
and Time did the same ; 80 that on the whole, the
violent, headlong, reckless course which wne ut
first resolved upon by South Carolina. gradually
lost favor with the more considerate of her peo
ple. nntil at length it was abandoned We rejoice
to weleome back onr noble sister into Inll com
munion with her associates. Henceforth let cor
dial triendship prevail among them all, and no
root of bitterness spring up to mar their happi
ness,
One of the greatest perils which ever befel the
nation, has thus been surmounted, thanks to an
over-ruling providence, and to the power of soft
words to turn awavy wrath. Wh t remains, but
to adhere firmly and fithfally to the Compromise,
the Rainbow of Peace to the Repnblic? Let this
be repenled or essentially modified.—-in other
words, let a fundamental stipulation of the nation
al compact be trampled under foot, and the ealm
which we now experience, will prove like that
which precedes a hurricane or an earthquake.
Filteen States have declared in substance, that they
will regard a refusal to surrender fugitive slaves
according to the Con<titntion, as virtually a “re

T'has, one after another, the arguments of the

Wuio Portrair or Wuiceeny. —Now for
the hard words. The Tribune says of this refusal :
“Ounr Whig General Committee met st the
Broadway Houve, last evening, and deliberately
mude over the Whig voiers to the tender mercies
of the hireling bullies, and grogshop bruisers who
habitually and profitably elect onr delegnies to our
several nominating Couventions.”
1w Of eourse,” continues that amiable jonrnal,
« the election will be a farce aud a frand ' ligoes
on to say that this is the design of the committee.
They want to press the bullies into requisition for
Fillmore delégates and were willing to pay forit;
and the Tribune declares that, the political gumblers
who composs the majority of their General Com
mittes, (insert ** party” for * committee’) have
sold the ** quiet Whigs of New York
Then says Father Greeley : :
“I'o the Whig Electors we say—l[le not dis
mayed by this outrage—be not withheld from the
polla by it. Go there, every man of you, next
Thursday morning if only to see how gross an
outrage this is. Seefor once, what sort of menthey
are who are hiced to choose your delegates, and 1o
crowd or fight you from the ballot boxes. Stand
there from eightto mne o'clock and see the great
body of nndoubted Whig votersin the large Wards
shut off by the poll and then go away to meditate
‘ on the spectacle, and then resolve that this shall
be the last."
The Tribune winds up its notica of these affairs
with the following denth-shot at Mr. Fillmore's
sense of propriety, in having the presnmption to
oppose Scott when Seward, Greeley and Weed |
don't wish him to do so:
It does seem to us that 1 President in office,
with such swarms of Postmasters, Marshals, Tide
waiters, &c, ander him as cover this State, who
can't get one of the first eight delegates chosen |
from his own State onght t decline. \When there
is a question asto the propriety of a President’s re ’
election while in office, self-respect should impel |
him to withdraw, l
By the way. hadn't the Journal (Ohio State) bet. |
ter put at the head of Its columns as one of the |
“issnes" like the Republic with the ** final adjust- |
ment” * eompromises of the Constitntion 1 '
So much for that side. Now a little abeut the |
other. 3
‘l'he Erpress, a Fillmore paper, opens up an ar- |
ticle thus: (we italicise ) :
T'ake Notice, Whigs, that while the Fillmore pa
| pers say nothing against Gen. Scott. the latter class |
L of papers, especially in this State, do all thev can |
| to prejudice the public mind against the President, l
his cabinet and their course. Such Editors na they |
| of the ¢ Albany Evening Journal," -+ Buffulo Ez
press,” and others seem to entertain the idea, that |
| Gen Scottif nominated can be made President in |
| spite of all the influence of the Federal Government, |
whose opposition they seem to be courting, while if
| thev were true Whigs they wounld rather be pro- |
pitiating an influence, so necessary for success, if '
| not so formidable for resistance. L
I'here is a good deal of pith in that, and Whigs
w Il please *“ ke notice”! The Erpress. a jour
nal npon which much relinnce can be placed when
denouncing the corrnpt desigus of its party friends,
reveals the objects of the Scott movement, and i
motives [tsavs virtanlly the men who control
that expedition, oppose and denounce Mr, Fillmore
becnuse they could never *'use’” him for purposes
of plunder. Now we quote the words of the Fx
press, and call the attention of all hands to them ;
* What they are after is the restoration of a Gal.
phin era when they ean use the Federal Govern
ment Treasury, just as they have been using the
Canal Lettings and the Bank Canal Fund in this
State. Now these men are hut few in number,
though they muke mueh noise, eapecially at Con
ventions, and the matter with them is, and ever
has been, that Mr. Fillmore is an upright, clear
headed, straight forward honest man.”
Now we are thankful for these items of informa
tion feom a Whig paper—first,that the Scott move
ment, if snecessful in attaining power will *restore
the Gulphin era”’—and secondly, that if Mr. Fill
more succeed, hewill give ws an “apright”’ adminis
tration. The country will be warned against the
Galphin era at least. if they cannot trust the late
promise for Mr. Fillmore's reformation. The Ez
press goes on to talk abontthe ** money and frand”
which the Sco«t men are making use of for the de
feat of Mr. Fillmore and asserts that Mr Fillmore
is more popular with the people of New York,
versus the politicians, than any other man. So
we have it—frauds and briberv again on the other
side.
Well, how will all this come ont in the end 1—
The West, inclnding Ohio and Pennsylvania, will
