■L The Cholera. This disease appears to he rapidly
Stihaiding in nearly nil parts of the country. In the
ci|ics ofAVie- York and Albany, IB great has been iff
fife diminution that the Physicians and Boards of Health
V have Ceased making their daily reports, and liusiifost
E . is resoming its wonted activity. In Philadelphia, loo,
Km although the Board yet report*, the eases amount to
only from SO to 30, and the deaths from 3 to 10 per
U|K day. In Buffalo, Rochester, Vtica, &.C., it appears
also to be disappearing, (n Baltimore nod Norfolk,
W Jtowevsr, it still rages With considerable malignity.—
f, In New-Haven, a few cases hove occurred within the
past week, mostly at the alms-boose,' and none wo be
lieve in the compact park of the city. On the whole,
it affords matter for gratnlation thnt tlie Cholera has
Mtfhr passed off witliout visiting any part of Now
u England with violence.
The N. Y. Daily Advertiser of Saturday last, in its
comments upon the Review of the Market the past
week, remarks—" The change in the husinem portions
ofoor city within the last ten duyOwetemble those of
the Yellow Fever years of November 1819 and 1822,
when the first black Iron restored the city to health,
and the inhabitants returned to their hemes. The
Cholera having so fhr disappeared that the Board ol
Healthbave thought it proper to discontinue the re
ports; and the Medical Council announce the safe re
!turo,jftiih proper precautions. The whole population
seem to have been released at once, and our streets on
a Midden present n change hardly to be realised. The
steam boats hourly arriving are crowded. The coast
ing crafts have already lined tbe docks, and all appears
bustle and activity. Every thing indicates an active
fall trade.”

[v Kentucky.—We have already stated the result of
the lute election in this state—that the Jackson candi
date for Governor was elected by a small majority—
the Clay candidate for Lt. Governor by a large majo
rity—and that h large minority in each branch of Ibe
Legislature are friends of Mr. Clay. The following
remarks of the Kentucky Reporter show the stale of
a flairs there pretty correctly.
The RetuJt—The probable result of the recent s
lertinn for Governor, Lieut. Governor, and members
"I the State Legislature is now known, though the
returns have not yet reached us in sunh a font) as to
ennbls us to give the entire vote or to determine with
accuracy the majorities of tits successful candidates.
W These we shall not know until the official returns are
M published. The Sheriffs meet at Frankfort this day
to compare the polls of the several roomies, and in our
next paper we hope to give the entire vole of the
Slate.
John Brealliift, the Jsekson candidate, is elected
Governor, over his rom|ietltOr Judge Buckner, by n
ratal! majority, and James T. MoreMfcad, tits National
•Li Republican candidate, is elected Lieut. Governor,
over Benjamin Tnylor, by a probable majority of from
Ils threC' thousand votes.
both branches of the Legislature, the National
ublirans have an overwhelming minority. The
Me, which consiela of 38 members, will stand—
onnl Republicans twenty-two ; Jackson sixteen.
House nl Representatives, which consists of 100
ibers, will stand—National Republican sixty-five j
;son 35, or a majority in favor ofllte National Re
ienns of almost two to ons. Three counties, re
ed to have elected Nalionnl Republican Repre
stives, are not included in Uiisestimnte of mnjori
which, if the reports be trtie, will increase our
her to 68, and redone the Jnckgpn members In 39.
he defeat of Judge Buckner is attributed solely to
ions'prejudices, and local feelings, tn several of
strongest Nalionnl Republican districts, where
e onuses operated most, the voters could not be
ailed upon to attend lbs polls. In one district a
, they caused us n loss of at least fifteen hundred
s, and in every aecliou of the Slate they operated
b or less against uS. The accurate returns, so far
ley have been received, show an aggregate iflmi
eo in the poll of t be several eoumirn, since 1828, of
y thousand votes. It is a matter deeply to be re
led, that our fellow citisena should suffer their
udiers thus to endanger their interMfs, by deprfv
themselves and the Stale of the wervirss, in the
icily of Chief Magistrate, ol one of the soundest

nolher four years. On no other necount,.than the
rions influences caused by the election of weak
unprincipled men to high offices, and our Hyson
eling in favor of Judge Buckner, do we much ra
the result of the late election. And In the present
lice, this regret is lessened by the certain knowl

Duff Green, the editor of the U. S. telegraph, has
lately been on a visit through several of the middle
and eastern states. On his return to Ids post, lie has
issudl an address “ to the public,” proposing lb pub

the effects of the “ Extra Globe** u ntil nfter the Pre
sidential Election. I« the opening of his address, lie
says, lie “ is well satisfied that the re-electioo of Gen.
Jackson can nnd will be dcfented, if proper exertions
be made by those who are convinced, ns It e is, that
every consideration which binds an American ettingn
to his country, which should stinuilats every lover of
liberty In maintain our free institutions, as established
by our ancestors, requires it.”.
A Bet WK2000 was publicly proposed in New-York
n few d*P^> by the Jackson parly, that Gen. Jack
son would oblnin the electoral vote of the state, which
was promptly taken by the opposition, and tbe money
deposited to abide tbe issue.
The New-York Courier having abandoned Jack
sonism, says it will support the Electoral Ticket in
New-York beaded with the name of Jamks Kent, nr
the “ Union Ticket.” Its motto is, ** Pi inciplcs no.'

.Since ihe defection of the Courier, the Tammany
Sociely have adopted tlie old ultra federal paper, Ihe

The Mercantile, also an old federal establishment, is

Rev. R. R. Gnrley,*— Sir ••—In reply to your teller
' of ihe 21st ult. in which you propose that I should de
I vote a part of the sum I intend giving lo the Col. So
ciety, to pay the expenses of distributing circulars, re
ports, &(!.-l am aware that it is highly important to
desseminate information in this Way, still 1 have been
led to think, that the establishment of a High School
in flie Colony* ie of vtill greater importnnce—-mid tlie
more 1 reflect upon it, tlie more 1 am convinced that
some institution of the kind is essential tn the welfare
! of the Colony. I have, therefore, come tn the deci
sion, not only to devote the whole snm, mentioned in
my former letter, lo this object, hut to increase it to
Two Thousand Dollars, which I propose to base in
vested, in some sale and productive fond, nnd Ihe in
terest npplied annually, towards defraying the expen
ses of n High School in the Colony of Liberia.
Should the Managers not think it expedient to com
mence tlie school immediately, the interest arising
from tlie uM|^fitnd, to lie added to the capitnl, and
so la lie i^HMed. unlit ii shall be deemed ndvisable
lo apply tit* income, to defray the expenses of the
school. Should the Society ll.ink proper to accept
of this donation Air the ohjocl proposed, it may cou
aiilrr me obligated for the amount mentioned, (Two
Thousand Dollars) on. which I will pay interest to the
Society at 6 per cent, tier annum, until it shall he in
vested as proposed. I shall he happy tn receive the
opinion of the Managers in relation to the mode of in
vesting the donation.
The plan of instruction can be settled between the
Managers and myself, and upon ibis point it would
probably he useful lo have the nujmon of l lie Society’s
> Agents in the Colony. ThefW* several reason#
, which have led me to think, that the permanent in
; vegfment of this sum, and an annual application of the
I interest arising from it, to the support of the school,
wW be more likely to effect the object intended, than
to'devote the whole capital at once to this purpose.
{ Should the income at first bo inadequate tn the ex
‘ pense* of such an institution, others knowing thnt a
j fund for this object existed, might if they believe it to
( be a useful institution, lie induced to enntribig^lo it,
' and flie colonists themselvesfinding that a pomon of
the expenses of such an establishment was provided
for, might sod probably would bn dispoaed lo eenlri
bme a part or tlie whole of the balance from their own

To tit Editor of the UtciJUld ijjliii "
Dear Sir—I have lately returned from N*w-York,
where I spent three deys in cleae attendance at the
| different Cholera Hospitals, especially at the Park
Hospital. 1 visited five of the hospitalsonce or twice,
bat made my researches principally at the Park, it he*
ing near my hoarding house, asd having at that time
jfmre caves ef interest than the ethers. facili
ty was afforded am, apd every thing that politeness
aad kindness could do, waa dose fay the atiesdhtg
physic inns. 1 conversed with several ef the principal
physicians, those who were at the hospitals, aad these
m preaiiee in different circle* of society ia the city.—
Dr. P. W. Baal, the sea of yoar Dr. Beet, had the
charge of the Park Hospital far several weeks, (the’
not at the tiase ef ary visit, having prwioasly resign

tremendous cramps which he suffered before death, I
| should infer that the neruoM and muscular systems
were principally affected in this ease. Dissections
hare not, however. I believe, thrown mncli clear light
upon the sulyect of cholera In this country.
1 was enabled to watch the cases closely, as I visit
ed the Park Hospital four Or five timeenday. In a
few instances I followed oot the enses from collapse
ton comparatively convalescent state, noting the pre
scriptions. Reaction is frequently followed by con
gestions and consecutive fover. Siimnlnots are but

symptoms. Calomel in large and snra)r doers—Opi

viscera, &.c. &e. '*
I am disposed to I.elTeve that Cholera in its early
stages is curable; that is to say, that bowel affections
which would terminnle in Cholera, if neglected, are
rendily curable. I am fufty authorized in this opinion
from conversations which I had with several of the
first physicians in N»w York, nnd from the success
met with at the hospitals, as wall ns from the opinions
of Broussais and Kirk, the lattarof whom lays it down
ns nn established principle that the Cholera of Great
Britain is always preceded by diarrhoea, and that di
arrhoea is a very curable disease. I should, however,
think that there must l.o many exceptions to the rule
in the cholera of this country.

Considered to be contagions, though to what extent is
not well settled. I do not consider it contagious in n
rery high degree, not ns much so ns typhus fever, nei
ther do I think it a disease as much to be dreaded. I
think it contagious in close, ill ventilated apartments,
where tlieair has become vitiated, and at a time when
a general predisposition to ilia disease exists in a great
er or less degree. Those prudent, temperate persons
who occupy niry apartments, who observe live strict
est cleanliness, and who avoid as far as possiblo all ex
citing causes ns to the habits, passions, diet, exposure
to the sun, moisture, night nir, dec. dee. and who con
sult a skilful physician immediately upon'the attack
of any bowel affection of much severity, are hot, in'my
opinion, very liable to the Cholera in its worst forms.
Although a large proportion of those w ho hnve had
Cholera hnve died, still I am compelled to believe
ilia! this disease, with its premonitory symptoms, ex
hibits proof of the triumph ol medical science over die
ensc j for it Is curable, nnd cured, in its enrly stages:
nnd I really think that all, or nearly all those who
have had Cholera, would dip if not medically treated,
nnd although it is hardly to be supposed that in every
individual instance the treatment is the best possible,
yet nny change of action is preferable to that action,
or tlint stale of the system which exists in Cholera.—

Since my return from New York I hnve spent a few
days at New Iinven. I there saw two cases, one of
them ns decided and strongly marked a ease as any
that I saw in New York. Injection of the veins with

lu childhood's hour, I oft have trneed, ’mid the dark
clouds, dim and shadowy speotres. My fhney would
paint pictures grim of mighty giants, of whom in
younger days my muse had told me tales that caused
my blood to chill with fear! There too were robed
and crowned and sceptred monnrehs, nnd spirits from
their resting plnce, who seemed to beckon me to
come to the dark nnd shadowy shore where Dentil
doth reign sole monarch. Such the visions of my
younger days Imve been. ; But when xoio l gaze on
the thick and rolling clouds, I see an emblem of God's
hidden nnd mysterious wordings. In the bright mid
glorious sun, I behold His majesty portrayed j in the
pale, soft moonlight, the influences of his holy and
omniscient spirit of all grace. The sparkling stars,
the canopy of heaven, his power nnd glory speak. All

Messrs. Durrie & Peck—I have* taken some pains
to acquaint myself with the character of Dr. Webster’*
“ History of the United Slates.” It is, in my opinion,
a work of great merit, and admirably adapted tu the
purposes alike of our public and private schools. It
will not injure the reputation of its illustrious author.

It is well calculated to benefit the rising generation.
It gives un intuitive nnd correct view of the most im
