Mob at BO0n'S Lick.-A most shameful
ontrage was committed. about the middle
oI July last, on the persons of Mr.. HUM.
PHREY SMITH, and his wife, living near
Franklin, Missouri territory. MI Smith
u opposed TO slavery, aud amidst the tur-
bulence which manifests itself at that place,
had the hardihood 10 declare his intention
] % support the cause Of freedom, and that
!. DE would do all in his power TO prevent
I the admission Of slavery into that terri
Tory when it should be admitted into The
union as state. In consequence Of which,
bis house was beset 10 the night by mob
of slave holders, who dragged him out of
his bed, beat him with clubs, and inflct-
ed from twenty to thirty lashes upon his
body with green withe. Mrs. Smith,
springing from her bed to assist her hus-
band, was knocked down with club, and
otherwise abused in shocking manner.
Mr.. Smith is a native of New-Jersey.
He removed 10 Boon's Lick three years
age, and settled on the public lands. AT
the late sales he was ou,bid by slave
holder, and lost his improvements.
The mob declared their intention " to
Kill, or drive out of the country" any
man who should open his mouth against
slavery. 1t is 10 this way that the Mis-
sourians intend to show their unGninaity
of sentiment and il is from the fear oil
such proceedings, that the public seni.
ment OF that territory has heretofore had
30 much the appearance of that character.

yellow, or contagious fever, says the
Boston Gazette, as existing in this coun-
try, seem to be exploded and the more
rational definition given TO them, Of ty-
phus or bilious, generally intermittent.
The high state Of malignaucy, which these
diseases sometimes assume, in various
shapes, is entirely local, and should cause
no alarm TO persons not within lis imme-
date locality. This fact is exemplifed in
the particular instance of Baltimore, where
the inhabitants, without the boundary Of
Eell's Point, are unaffected by the fever,
which has there proved to be SO very de-
structive.
