TIM’D! ICE.—-The Subscriber being desirous of removing
1. to the Western country, oilers lor sale his Tract of
Land, whereon lie now lives, in the county of Bucking
ham, on the Middle Fork of Slate River, containing 800
acres, one half of which is yet to clear; about 200 acres
ol Low Grounds of good quality, and in good heart; to
gether with the cleared Land. The improvements arc, a
good Dwelling house, with three rooms and a passage_
Kitchen, Barn, Dairy, Tobacco-houses, &c. This Land
lies in a healthy, wealthy, and popular part of the county,
five miles from the Court House, adjoining the lands of
John Morris, Win. Isbell, and the Estate of Win. II. Per
kins, dec’ll.: there are three or four good Mills within that
distance, and various Manufactuiiug Mills convenient for
tho reception of Wheat. It is deemed needless to say
much ol said Land, as no person would purchase without
first viewing the premises. But this Land evidently is in
ferior to no Land in this section of country for the growth
of Wheat, Corn, and Tobacco, and susceptible of improve
ment at almost any period. As the Subscriber is deter
mined to sell, he would sell a bargain.

Desirable property for sale.—loner for
sale either my mill tract of land, in Henrico, or my
farm in 11 mover. The former is less than four miles from
Richmond, and contains 150 acres, with a valuable mill.
The land is uncommonly fertile; 100 acres of it are Cliicka
homony low grounds, entirely free from inundations. The
balance is improved high land, nearly as valuable as the
bottom. A line young orchard just in bearing.
The farm in Hanover contains more than 470 acres, and
lies on both sides of the Mcchanicsville Turnpike. The
five-mile stone is not far from the centre of the tract. The
whole of this land is rich. There are not less than 150
I acres of low grounds on the Chickaliomony; half of which
! is admirably adapted to meadow. But the value of the
whole is greatly enhanced by the immense quantity of wood
and valuable white oak, ash and maple timber, that may
be advantageously disposed of—a large portion of the tract
never having been cleared. The uncleared land is of suf
; licient fertility for tobacco; and it is so convenient to the
turnpike, .hat the wood and timber may he sent to market
j at all seasons,on a road little inferior lo a pavement. The
place is healthy and abounds in good water. It is worthy
| ot the careful examination of anyone wanting lo purchase.
For terms, apply to Charles T. Bolt-, Esq., Richmond,
or to the subscriber at Airfield, Henrico county,

'fcTOl 1CK.—The subscriber will sell his good mid well

ments, a good dwelling house with live rooms, alt in ex
cellent repair for the reception of travellers as a tavern,
a stable, a first-rate store house, with a counting room, all
in good order for business; a wagon yard, with a granary,
and a house for wagoners to stay in ; also, a fodder and hay
house, all at the wagon yard ; also, a granary near the
stable, a first-rate garden and orchard, all of the best fruit,
fir. fie. This stand has many peculiar advantages over
almost any other on the road, as it has the advantage of
the road leading from Winchester, Culpeper Court Mouse,
Oiauge Court House,and Louisa Court Mouse,horn thence
on to James River, through Buckingham, and to Carters,
villc, Cumberland Court House, &c. Uc. This is one. of
the mod healthy places in Virginia, being so conveniently
1 supplied with good water at (he edge of the yard, as well as
every other convenience, which makes it inferior to none
lor business. Any person wanting such a place, will do
well to come and view it, as a bargain can be had,
for rash, or a part on time. Possession will be given im
mediately, if desired. For terms, apply to the subscriber.

TO THE EJJITORS OF THE EWI^UUIER. j
“ .Mulhu (rMjwra/uuli.”
Kixu William, October 3rd, 1832.
“The Bannerol' tho Constitution,” n paper which has
been devoted to tho cause of Free Trade, always uphold
ing its pure doctrines for the love of truth, and free from!
the incidental power of parti/.an influence, lias yielded to
the adverse pressure of the times. Its last number has
been issued, containing under the editorial head, a fearful j
picture of (lie state of the public mind on the North side
of the Potomac. We are told in the lone ot despair, that
the advocates of Free Trade in that part of the Union have
grounded their arms. “The number of those who believ
ed the protective policy unconstitutional, has at all limes
been extremely limited,” says tho editor; and these can
no longer shew front against the enemy. They had main
ly locked to the South, and now discover that their reli
ance was misplaced.—Among the disastrous influences
which have produced a failure iu the recout struggle, tho
want of united action on the part of the South, is slated as
having had much weight—our local dissensions in rcler- !
enca to the means of redress, so mingled with prejudices in
favour of, and against particular men. And the result of,1
ul! is, that the TarifJ Party have nude up their minds to
believe iu our ultimate acquiescence in tlie American 1
System, as the settled policy ol the country. Among tho
causes which have operated on tho North bide ol the I*o- (
tomac to disband the little army ol Free Trade patriots, tho
vested interests of portions ol the community have been
fell. The fear of revolutionary mov ements iu thu South,
is sot forth as another cause. Those who have been in
the habit of reading tho “Banner of the Constitndou” must,
<>u taking leave of this di-iiuguiahed advocate of Free :
Trade, loel a melancholy regret for tho loss of so valuable
a coadjutor. The very titlu ol the paper seemed to cover .
the genius of chivalry in the act of addressing itself to the '
heart of the patriot citizen, through an heroic emblem oft
liberty. Perhaps the lone of despair docs not suit the j
times; it is, however, replete with useful instruction to
the South, and must, if properly studied, make a deep and
salutary impression on the public tuiu.1. It is a trusty
friend who speaks, and a brave champion who yields up
the cause as hopeless—ami we may justly’ a.-k the yet
sanguine, to shew us tho reason of their hope. If we have
lost our friends on the North side ol the Potomac, because
the uulliiiers of (be South have raised the voice of threa- !
toned resistance against op pres ion, then who is to pul
down the army ol uulliiiers—tor, let live public mind oi the
South once become assured that no change is to bo wrought
in the public lecling of the North, and that tho Ameiican
i System is to he and remain, the settled policy of the coun
try, then will the danger come; and it will bo without
any adequate relief to the cause of the Union. The Union
of the South iu some peaceful, but solemn attitude ol
sovereign interposition, seems to be demanded by the cri
sis. We are far from being uulliiiers iu Virginia; but tho
North must not talk of physical force and the bayonet,
whilst the lovers of Union in tho South sire engaged iu
strenuous and peaceful efforts to avert all danger to our
common country. But if it is really so, that no change is to
be expected in favor ol Free Trade, in the public opinion
of the North—if, without the plea of a public debt, an e
normous and unequal load ol taxation is to be laid on the
South, lor the solo benefit of the monopolists of tho North,
the scene will change as (his inexorable policy dcvolopes
(itself under the Legislation ol Congress. As the nullifiers
have only tulked ol resistance, it remains easy for the pa
j triotisui of the South to slop the progress ol disunion, if
I aided by the generous and magnuuimous cflails of the
; same sentiment, combining with the South. As to the
Union, the South is as it always lias been, sound to the
I pom—and on the important question of choosing between
j its preservation or its dissolution, there is no libraliou of
j tl«e public opinion; it is most emphatically on the side of
i tlie Union. No leader of nullification will risk his po
: polarity in a crusade against this consecrated love of
: country, which pervades all cijs^es ol the people.
nut we may be askcu, how is the Uniou to he preserved '
; if neither party will yield ? The answer is: It is possible
; lor the Union to be lost, but the Sooth will stand by if
‘ to the last, and when it goes, it will be the North that
casts it away, and lor the meanest and lowest considers- 1
lion which can operate on freemen—the love of unjust 1
' The danger to the Union does not seem to operate
| on the public mind of the North; lor, we are tol.l by om
' trusty Irictid of the Banner, that the Tariff" party ar mc. 1
paring to urge their policy to the point ol ..rohilidon
i ‘*V’,U WlH ’ ' V the South; aild^viiat"
j will it avall the came. ..i Union, il the present ex. itemet.t
I 0I,*^' be overcome uy the real patriotism of the South, if!
tlie iNorlli does not participate in the same patriotic alarm !
and abandon their odious policy ? We are also told by our
l ustj friend, that the Tariff men know they have lust but
little uudwr the new hill; and the same opinion is evi
dently entertained hy this chosen watchman ol Free
Irade-and if it be true that the Tariff" party have lost hut
h e, then it is equally true that the South has gained hut 1
little. In this situation we arc yet without redress, and
tlie song of victory which has resounded through our 1
mountains and valleys, is but a lullaby to still „ur restless i
sitfler t-oiifli Carolina. Our meiiiliei^ of Congress who
volocl lor flic !alc hill and have come home to tlir ir con«ti» i
tuents with banners flying and drums beating, in token ol1
a greet victory over tlie Tariff party, would seem also to
tie real knights ol romance, whose renown justly merits I
the caustic labours ol a modern Cervantes. In truth
however, as we nro not nullifiers, wc must bear with Ibis’
pious fraud for the present. We must take care that (be '
threats of the milliners only end in smoke.—We must „0t
sutler them to transcend the sportive action ol school boys :
—ludmiuf ef/igiem belli. \
I VI e arc really engaged m a noble-task; and a part of our
j business is, to commend the new tarifl law, whilst the
monopolists of (lie North, whose vile ails ol avarice, cor- i
rupfion and intrigue first brought tho Union in hazard
have very skilfully navigated the tempestuous sen, and '
are now snugly moored in (heir own haven of pro-1
lection. Thus it is, that Liberty and Union arc to have no
votaries, save, in the classic land ol the lair and Ivriile I
South, and these arc to sacrifice on those hallowed altars,'
until they have become so poor by oppression, as not to be
capable of offering incense. \Ve must note the vices of
tlie age and pour flown resistance under the odious epithet
ol nullification; ami where is our hope of final indemni
i <>’• Hur sentinel, on the outward wall, whose voice we
cannot mistake, tells us we have wholly faillcd, and will
tail to the end; his fidelity we cannot suspect—his good
sense and his means ol correct observation wc cannot
question—nevertheless, the South will be guiltless of any
intemperate proceeding. But, whilst we rest on our mild
glories, and make them our ornament ami boast, let us not
ligbl altogether on the side of the TarifTiles of (ho North l
i he land ol Franklin, afford* no asylum for the truth* ol
government. The soil of obi Massachusetts, w here once
on a lime, an infant was rocked into giant strength locrush
the colossal power of Britain, and whose heroes of revolu
tionary mould rose and fell in mltiplied and majestic forms
to attest tho divinity of freedom, has now become alien,
by reason of ••rested interests” in the system of oppression!
“Magna estveritaset prevalent,” was the cherished hope
ol philanthropy, before llie wilderness ol America had ■
opened upon (he wonder-struck mind of civilized Europe. I
Philosophy beheld in the origin of nations, the seed* oi
institution* adverse lo the generous freedom of mankind.
But tlie field presented by the discovery ol (bis Western
Continent, was worthy of anient hope ami sublime con
templation. On Ibis theatre, the spirit of liberty had no
organized tyranny lo subvert. The national existence did
not spring from a convocation of military tribes,—and, in
reference lo (he bumble colonial fortune* ol our early an
cestors, it wa* tlie school in which the \ it tue« ol (he heart, i
and tlie powers of the mind were trained and disciplined
lor Ihe great event which succeeded. Il was a situation
in which they gained a complete conception of what either
the policy or misfortunes o( European government* had
hidden from tlie eyes of their subjects--and our ancestors,
after they had acquired their independence, shewed that
they had been attentive observers of those institution* in |
I’.uiopr, which had been reared up on the ruin* of liberty
Although some great characteristics distinguished the na
tions ol that favoured continent, yet, with few exceptions, |
bigotry, superstition, and despotism, marked their charac
ters. England and France were termed natural enemies;
whilst olliers, from theological errors, were exalted into i
tyrants, or humbled inlo slaves. No where could an al- !
lar lie raised to tlie truths of politics and philosophy. Hie '
sublime obscurities of established ererd* excluded il on
Ihe one side; and on the other, the preemptions of civil 1
mystery rendered il an u«c'e*s or a dangerous shrine ;
and even in this enlightened age, the liberties of Eu- i
rope arc suppressed by an alliance between despotic 1
Thrones, founded on tho principle of a self-consfilu- '
ted Judicature of rival nations, where force, and not I
right, decides; and tho settled policy of which, i* lo take ;
from every nation the right of independent sovereignty.—
The present Holy Alliance is hut a substitute for lb« an-'
..... .
ciont plan, by which, Kingdoms and States were betpiealh*
ed by tho wills ol I'yrunts, lor the purpose of supporting
the balance of power. The plan of tho modern system
has been enlarged, so as to embrace as tbe objects
ot their intervention and control, the internal government
ot States, in order to arrest the march of Freedom. Tho
pretext was created by the grasping ambition, and colos
sal power of Napoleon; ami whilst in fact this Holy Alli
ance aflbets to smother the breath ol universal monarchy,
its real design is, to organize the system of universal sla
\ery. The modern Kingdom ol the Netherlands sprang
up under the genei al pacification of 1814, made by a lorced
conjunction ol Holland ami Belgium, and presents a just
commentary on that policy which, in attempting u balance
ol power, seeks to oppress individual States under the res
pectable sanction of a pacification, at once erroneous and
impracticable. '1 be actual dismemberment of these two
States, which now form one of (lie known objects of tho
present London conferences, is worthy of deep considera
tion. in our own American views ol (he two conflicting sya
i terns of Frco Trade and restricted commerce. Belgium and
Holland, no sooner were formed into one monarch?, than
a war ot legislative policy arose, in reference to lho«o ri
val systems. An attentive observer ot the state of parlies,
w ho was residing at the time in Europe, in mi vlricant
work entitled, “V iews ol Europe,” lore told the very event
which hus recently happened; ami the reasons upon which
ho loutided bis anticipation, are stated to be the clashing
interests and policy of those two States,—Holland main
11tuning the doctrinea of Free Trade, and Belgium uphold*
, iug the restrictive policy, ilicy have separated lorcildv,
; tt"d the power ol the Holy Alliance bos, (or (lie momeM,
: arrested the operations ol u deadly hostility between il.o
i parties—Although actually separated, yet the few yeaisof
lorced connection, have so intermingled their passious urn!
their national prejudices, that it is dtflrcult, it not Impiae
; ticable, to arrange the terms of a future separated so\c*
j rcignty, so as to preserve the peace ol tho two Stales, and
suppress a geuural war in Europe. We may here observe,
in rclerettce to the conduct of tho Allies, that their dcs
1 potic principles have yielded to Iho necessity of a sopura
lion, f or years, vain attempts have been made !f> com
i piomiso .the jai l ing interests ot tins Kingdom, which was
I t*‘« favorite child of the pacification of 1811—and w -s in
tended ns a barrier against France. But the policy ol (be
j lwo States could not bo harmonized. This piece of Eu
i rope an history is very lull ol grave instruction, and would
. seem to atuud ns a bcucou-light ou tho distant theatre ot
Europe, to guide American statesmen and patriots, in tho
arduous task ol navigating the vessel of State, through dm
now tempestuous sea ot parties, in our owu country,
lu tact, wo must proceed with great circumspection, or
jour 1/ niou will be engulplied in the whirlpool ol contrary
I interests, and clashing views. We can hardly escape the
condition ol depreciated national existence, by the exer
tion of our utmost forbearance. It is impossible to close
our eyes to (be self-evident fact, that we are now contend*
: lug on the most opposite views, not only ol the general
I w elfare, but, as to what constitutes the freedom or slavery
ul iho people. '1 ho gulpli is wide which now separates
the North anil South. For, the enlarged ami liberal views
i f *eo I rade are so entirely estranged lrom tbe narrows
! minded and jealous cupidity of the restrictive system, that
■ the fust eschews the other, as a mortal poison. Whilst
l disgust and hatred will ever prevent them lrom swaying
; in peace a mutual sceptre ; yet the victory achieved by
I tho Turilf party, oiu-o the doctrine of Free Trade, is felt
as a wound inflicted on general freedom—and those who
lament this wouud, ieel that they have a noble aim in view,
; and the heroic passions of the heart will lead onward.—

TO THE EDITORS OE THE JCJYQUIHER.
THE CHOLERA.
Many 1 find still believe in the infection of the disease^
called by a strange misnomer Cholera. All such views are
the ollspring of an imperfect knowledge of the nature of
pestilence; and the whole theory ol infection is absurd and
lidiculous, Ironi first to Iasi—producing llie most serious
inconveniences to commerce,and resulting in serious exits
and losses to individuals.
An epidemic disease, all imi~t admit tho present pesli
lence to be of that nature, even the advocates ot the doc
trine yf infection (hctiia<*1<‘>>r> • - ■ ,ijy.
• Miwxiuf, isiantsxi li mui •• ...
easeprocdeuing /Vom infection, by ilio circumstance oj ns
beinjj preceded by influenza, scarlatina, or oilier acute
and malignant affections. This is stiictly' true of all tho
great plagues and pestileiui.il epidemics that ever exi-ted,
and is lamentably verified in the present instance.— Rich'
luniid, Norlolk, Petersburg, and other places, are tainiliar
j iiirtances o! this truth; fur, they have all iu turn J;een vi
j sited during Uio past seasons by influenza and svarlnJna.
li this he not so, my informationiaincorrect. In the uc>^
place, an epidemic predominates over all other diseases,
totally absorbing them, or compelling them to assume iu
characteristic sy mptoms.
A disease propagated by infection only, ts not thus dis
I liuguishcd. h has no precursors; it extends and spreads
i , y contact, or near approach; aud exercises no con
i , whatever over the diseases in its vicinity.— Rut to
s.iew how little an epidemic depends on infection, l will
bnelly advert to a few plain facts, within the comprehen
sion ot all. 1
I In the extreme Eastern countries the plague, and all
pestilential epidemics, are suffered to proceed without mo
testation or restraint. There aro no regulation* to routrol
! "s progress, or prevent its returns. Its beginning is usual
ly gradual, but progressive; and it is remarkable, that alter
. Us most extensive ravages, it abates and suddenly disap
pears; thus conveying, at an eventful era, too, ol their la
fW-MoIi “ unkindest cut” of all, to the disciples td in
In I in-key !>ni! Egypt, no sooner lias a grr.it plague eras
eil, which has rut nil 300,000 people in Constantinople nr
» airo, than the inlcrtcil houses are filled by other people,
who replace the dead; use the furniture and bedding! on
; "|',lc,i ,‘IR infected bail died, the infected clothes are ptir
I l,l* l>y Jews and sold, uncle,wised; and yet strange
; to relate, among all this mass of concentrated infection, iio
1 person hau iJn* ylngue.
| i lie infection ot half a million of people produces no
plague at one time; hut at another, the invisible fumes of
a bale ol goods, or a piece of cloth, or the breath ol a sin
gle man, is sufficient to spread desolation over a large city
Of a whole kingdom. Such, Messrs. £ditors, are the ab
surdities of the modern notions of some learned Doctor*
about the present pestilence, and which adorn this splendid
era of philosophy and science.
I j'1 London, the malignant precursors of the plague of
1668, appealed as early as 1661; hut no sooner had its cri
• sis passed, than in a few months it was totally extinct._
Hie s,iino happened at Aleppo iri 1762; (he same is true of
1 cholera, or if it ho not suddenly extinct, it declinesirnme
! after its crisis, ,md such I aver is usually the tact,
j IsOt any man aunpote (ho di^caie to be piopngatnl by m
, lection, and then, I of him to look to, and attend to (ho
i consequences of such doctiine.—fn 1760, in Aleppo died
1 600; in 1761, died 7,000, and the next year 11,000. This
! ,Va® ol its crisis. On (he principle of infection,
j then, a hundle of old clothes, or some sick man first spreads
! 'he disease—sons to destroy ft 00 persons, the infection of
| 5'i0 destroys the next year 7,000 persons, the infection of
j 7,000 destoys the following year 11,000 lives, and the
year after the infection of 11,000 destroys none at nil.
i A few hales ol cotton smuggled into the city of London
| from Holland in 1661, communicated infection that do
[ slioyed 68,1*00 lives; the infection bom Ibis immense num
ber piovos fatal the next year to 1,000 only; and these the
year following, infect only 38. The tmlli i«, infection has
nothing to do with llm matter, ami this diversity in diller
ent seasons, is the nfl-pring of a coiresponding change or
modilic lion in the infecting principle; for, it infection ex
erted any inline nee, or had much concern in propagating
(lie disease, its operation rertainly defeats all calculation
ol its physical powers. As before slated, the same acme
ami declension has existed iu the present pestilence ol our
cities.
In reply lo the (|tJcsliori, will the present pestilence be
come epidemic in the country? I answer it will in all places
where it* precursors have appeared. It will be so molli
fied however hi many places,as not to be rciogi.u,
j the same disease. I cannot consent to the doctrine, how
ever, tliat the present pestilence, cenliary to all preeedont,
shall appear first, and its precursors follow nlterwards. I ho
same causes do not exist In (lie country, that abound in
1 populous cities: hence, the diversity of its outward Icatm i s,
| Its nature is nevertheless the same; it will constitute a dif
ference in grw/r, but not m hunt, it will he a malignant
I bilious lever, or plague if yon please, attended with vio
| lent and in some rases profound congestions of the eapilla
nos of the stomach ami bowels.
