The prevalent diseases of our country are
bilious, renting. and, intermitting fevers,
which may pc styled at some times epidemic.
The Putrefaction ofthe vegetable matter on a
soil fertile as this is, produces considerable
amount Of miasmata (asote, or scptoA) and
thereby vitiates the atmospheric air which we
breathe, and are surrounded witt. The com.
position and decomposition dali going ON in

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

For THE SPECTATOR.
The law for the establishment of medical
societies in the state of Illinois, makes it the
duty of every physician to keep true and &C.
curate record of all the births, deaths, and
diseases, within the vicinity of his practice
which record he is required to report for pub
lication in one or more newspapers in the state
and for falling to comply with the above re-
cited act, he subjects himself to the payment
Of fine of ten dollars for every offence.
The object of the legislature in requiring
such information to be laid before the pub
lie, no doubt was to do justice to the character
of a country long doomed to the odium of be-
ing unhealthy, and thereby arrest the fears of
the citizens of other parts of the United States,
who wished to emigrate to this A country
favored with congenial climate-blessed with
a fertile soil, and holding out SO many induce
ments to the husbandman, demanded legisla.
tive interposition, and I have no doubt the
trainers of the law will meet their merited re.
ward in witnessing its happy effects.

FROM THE CITY OF WASHINGTON GAZETTE.
RICHMOND IN AN UPROAR.

| hlCIlMoNO I'm AN CFRUARs
| The Richmond Enquirer Of the 10th
February, is quite in a fame ON the slave
question. The idea of comtromise, in
particular, alarms Mr.. Ritchie; and he
informs US that the same idea has been
rejected with indignation by the inhabit-
ants of Richmond and the members of
the Virginia legislature. " Various let
tiers (quoth the Enquirei) from high and
honorable members of the Legislature
to the members Of congress, were
forwarded by last nights mail They
demonstrate against such scheme (of
COMPROMISED They protest against it
in the most emphatic terms" And
wherefore all this excitement? Why,
forsooth, Mr.. Thomas, senator of the
United States from Illinois, has proposed
to draw line west of the Mississippi,
along Sc degrees so minutes of north
latitude, excepting where the limits Of
the contemplated Missouri State run be-
yond that line: all the tract Of country
north OF this line to be shut up against
slavery; south of it, TO be without any
restriction. Ask you why compromise
of parties on this ground should produce
such a bubbling of the spirits at Rich
mond The Enquirer answers, " shall
we yield SO vast disproportion of coun-
try north of that line, sweeping off in
magnificent dimensions away to the Pa
cifc ocean, for us to be cooped up south
of it by the Spanish line or Our vest ;
Shall we give up to the eastern states ten.
times as much land, for their people to
settle ON, as the slave-holdiag states shall
haves" So then, Mr.. Richie! 1t is room
you want for the multiplication of
slaDes!! And do you think, IF the people
of Richmond, and the members of the
Virginia legislature there assembled,
are SO earnest in their effort to preserve
room for sldues, that the .treemen of the
United States will not look out in time:
for home for their posterity Be you,
assured they will, in defiance of the has-,
sionate gentlemen on James River.
This open avowal of the intention and
desire to extend slavery, is to be found
in one part of the Enquirer of the 10th
Feb. and the language is editorial. J,
another part of the same paper, Mr..
Richie Protests that he does not vindi-
cate serTitude, and wishes it could be
terminated. How does this agree with
his complaint of the want of room for
the propagation of slaves beyond the.
river Mississippi? We confess that we
think he contradicts himself. - ~ i
The Enquirer, likewise, contains
very curious expression with regard to
the votes on this question In congress.
He says, :" They (the 9.faA- Shveites)
may out.vote US; but let us no. bind
ourselves by our own votes" Does,
Mr.. Richie mean to Sag that Virginia
would not be bound BY the votes of a
majority of congress, even if all the re-
representatives. and senator's in congress
from that Commonwealth should be in
minority This would be very strange
doctrine indeed '
AS the slaveites can find no support
in the Christian religion, they appeal to
| the history Of the jews a corrcspon-
