Three different times the su'ljen o• Cho-Plz I so-

El 4'34,14;:, a.n: has been each tirsw determined in
favour of. it. A ve y animated speech fr trn 1)r.
Blair, see were in hopes had finally settled the ques-
tion, but on Thursday, July 9, it was again brought
forward in 4 different way, and met with a strong
opposition from Nlr. Gale J sues, and several other
persons. but we were glad to find gentlemen resent,
(and to whom the rinblic stand indebted), that were
fully capable of oaths every thing asite a it had
been advanced by these persons, and that only by
stating faits.
Dr. CHAMISERLAIN, in a very neat and appro-
priate speech, admitted, that many persons had re-
ceived the small-pox contagion, nay, that some
had died, and, he doubted not, that many would
hereafter die, who had been inoculated with cow-
pock matter; but he at the same terns was per-
feCtly convinced, that those evils were snlely attri-
butable to the ignorance of those persons periorm-
sag inoculation, in their either not knowing, or
else not attending to the grand gold-n rule of D-.
dewier, tt Never to inoculate with icher,
after the areebs surrounding the pustule had ar
lived at its full extent ;" that to this mistake, of
taking matter when too late, or to the op-rator not
having opportunities of seeing that the disease had
gone through its proper stages, or to inserting mat-
ter, good when first taken, bin losing its efficacy by
remaining too long on the lancet, and not to the dis
ease itself, were those misfortunes attributable. That
the diseases, termed by(the enemies of vaccination
cow-pock itch, and cow-pock mange, resemSlir,t
the itch, but obstinately resisting those rem-die
which cure the real itch,were,with injustice, charged
to vaccination, because this disease attacked many
who had meet been inoculated for either cow-poc
or small-pr.:: and was a accurately de-
scribed by DoCtor Willan, five years before ever ino-
culation for the cuw-pock had been promulgated
In the world. That he had vaccinated more than
three hundred individuals with his own hands, and
he challenged any person to bring forward a si
hgl-
case of his, that had either failed, or been succeeded
either by small-pox, ulcerated arms, or any other
disagreeable consequence.
Doane. TaoRMITON also delivered a most animated
speech, which :Vied like an elearic shock on the au-
dience, and was received with the loudest acclama-
tions of applause. One part of this famous ha-
rangue awaited particular notice : •• The small-
pox is a great evil ; it is rendered a still greater one
by the praftice of inoculation. At the early intro-
dudion of inoculation, it was fondly 'vetted, that
fewer deaths from the small-pox woul.l appear on
the Bills of Mortality. fhe reverse was found to
be the WI. Baron Dimsdale has noticed this very
extraordinary circumstance before vaccination was
in existence. Private individuals are, I confess,
greatly advantaged, but the public are injured For,
by inoculation, the small-pox is converted into a
pestilence. It is made into a more formidable toe.
More now die of the small-pox, than before i:s in-
undation. Even if there were no cow-pox disco-
vered, inoculation ought, therefore, to be abolished.
Yet there are found men, who knowingly dissemi-
nate this horrid pestilence; which, in London alone,
asineally Carries oft 2000 persons ; and, throughout
England, 40,000 person. annually. Yes, there are
men, so lost to patriotic virtue, to the stings of con-
science, as to keep on spreading the fire-brands of
contagion. Yr., there are men now, who inoculate
for the cow-pox and small-pox, whichever you
please ! Than snalt do no murder, is a law not only
written on the Jewish tablets, but deeply imprinted
on the human heart. Every honest breast shudders
at the thought of murder, and yet there are found
men in this great town, who, knowingly and deli-
berately spread abroad this fatal pestilence. Ihe
law toads it to be death, spreading abroad a pesti-
lence. The law says, •if a man having the plague
in his house, shall quit it, thereby endangering the
lives of his fellow-citizens, he shall suffer death.'—
I speak it to your own understanding, is not the
small-pox truly a pestilence ? it is so conceived by
me, and called so by every medical writer. Are
not the two eases then exactly apposite ? and shall
the o.se be prohibited by death, and after the dis-
covery of the cow-pox the other be tolerated in a ci-
vilised nation ? Shall it be now suffered, that your
wives, your children, and your friends, shall die,
viCtims to the spreading of the small-pox by its ino-
culation, and the community lose its firmest support?
Having, I hope, sufficiently proved the injuries sus-
tained by society horn the praaice of inoculation
for the small-pox, let us now turn our thoughts to-
wards vaccination." The Learned Dodos., after
many judicious observations on the cow-pox, and
after declaring himself an advocate for the vatic*,
from his own experience, then went on to state what
had been done by it. He said—" In London the
mortality was, on an average, annually, 2000 pet-
alms ; that in 1800 there died of the small-pox
2409 persons ; in 1801, only 1461 ; in 1302, 1519 1
in 1905, only 1173 ; and in 1504, .there died
only 586 persons ; a diminution that never was
before known, and only to be ascribed to the pro-
gress of vaccination. The same experience arose
from considering the Bills of Mortality in all the
chief towns of England. in Leeds, the average
amount of deaths from the small-pox, was 312 an-
nually ; in Ido4 it sunk to 62. At Vienna, the
ge amount of deaths was 835 ; in 1802. dal
deaths were only 61 ; is 1803, only 27 ; in 1804,
2. At Eueknow, in the East Indies, the amount of
deaths, on an average, was 800; in three years
after the introdudion of vaccination, the reduaion
was 75. And this was the case as far as our infor-
mation reaches, in every great town throughout the
world. From Marseilles, from Geneva, f (OM Paris,
where a statue of brass it now being raised to Dr.
Stoner, the small-pox is extirpated. The natives
of India say, m we have no longer snits, the small-
pox." Dr. Thornton then took a long survey of
the opposition to this saving predict in both France
and England. lie related many falsehoods that had
been published against the :ow-pox. He politely
declare!. revolting his opponents—" I do not ac-
cuse them of being liars, that would be ungentle-
man-like ; but I do assert, they have, in almost
every instance, been misinformed, a.id have thus
become the vehicle of false informatics to the psb.
