The sickness which prevails in the vicinity Of
Philadelphia has become so general and alarming,
that public meeting has been held to devise inca
surcs for the relief of the sufferers, and the result
has been the appointment of several committees.
We are sorry to hear, by travellers from the up

A mortal sickness prevails in Bethel, Maine, par
ticularly among children. In one neighborhood
ten children have died in three weeks-and others
IN the town. On last Monday, more than thirty

whom were given overland new cases are occurr-

dysentery, battles the skill of physicians, and very
few patients recover Portland Gaz.

Those OF Hagerstown have generously opened sub

to Hagerstown who are writing under the most op-
pressive penury, and in want not merely of the
comforts, but even OF the absolute necessaries of
life.

years silence, General (then Major)
John Armstrong, has at length publick-
ly ayowed, in Newly rk publication,
that s. Those letters were written by
himself, AT THE SOLICITATION
OF HIS FRIENDS, and as the chosen
organ to express the sentiments of the
officers of the Army =

removes all doubt Of the correctness Of the
suspicious of the Army as to the writer of the
Letters; and can leave but little doubt as t.
who were 6 THE FRIENDS'' who solicited
him to write them,
The subject is highly interesting to the A.
merican people ; and every man who was
thus implicated in the suspicion OF being one
of the friends alluded to, is called upon to
exonerate himself, if unjustly accused. A
Surgeon from Massachusettsn was suspected
to be one of those /" Friends" and that that
Surgeon was reported to be Doctor WILLIAM

them in putting the following Queries, relat-
ing to one of the most important political
transactions which ever occurred.

Qu. 2. Did you, or did you not, solicit or
apply to Major JOHN ARMsThoNc to write or
compose the Letter or Letters circulated "a
mong the officers of the American Army in
1888, which letters were known by the name
of the Newburg, or Anonymous Letters; and
which said ARMSTRONG now acknowledges he
wrote If No,
gu. 3. Had you, or had you not, knowl-
edge of said Letter or Letters pIior to their
general circulation; or was you present at any
meeting oil off ers on the subject; and did
you, or did you not, furnish copy OF the letter
or letters, to Capt. PATRICK PHELoN, or any
other officer, fortranscription and circulation :

that they do not lose their right to vote b.
neglecting to furnish to Selectnen the evi.
dence of their qualifications. Those especial

from the Salen, Gasetle.7

We hear from the restless leaders of democ-
racy much more abuse of Mr.. Otis than we
are told in favour Of their own Candidate
The changes are soon rung of his reyolutiona-
ry services, has ardent patriotism, &c. &C. all
which might as well be said of many men in
most OF our towns. But we come to particu-
lars, and seriously ask, Hhat has Doctor Eos
tbs done, that should entitle him 10 our support
for the highest office in the Commonwealth r.
Why is he made SO prominent, and held up,
year after year, standing candidate, kind
OF DIR. Kalhams to the Commonwealth?
We have been and shall again be referred
to his revolutionary serriees. Upon inquiry we
ind that he never was in active seTvice-that
he never, like BROOKS, led the way in battle;
but that he was surgeon, a hospital surgeon
that he entered the army as surgeons mate,
and rose TO the rank OF surgeon. This is not
said In disrespect.-Let him have his full cred
it-and we dare say he was good surgeon,
and did his duty very we'll; but it gives him
no particular claim to our gratitude or support.
He could not so easily have gained profession
al experience in any other way. We could
refer TO many men, whose revolutionary SER
vices were greater than his, and men too who
are now pining in want, having only misera-
bic shed to cover their heads!
Inc Grams OF Dr. Eustls are very different
from those which arise from active service in
the line-in the field Of battle--at the post of
danger; aud in war, the post of danger is the
post OF honour. WARREN might have gone
to Bunker-Iiill as surgeon, and been highly
useful, and have saved his life for future SER
vices; but he chose rather to take his place as
volunteer in Prescott's redoubt, and he fell
martyr in his country's cause. Brooks might
have entered the army as surgeon, but he
would not have shared in the glory of Bur-
goyne's surrender.
OF any special services of Or. Eustis in the
army we are not informcd--or on what occa-
sion his influence was ever exerted to quell
discomfort, or to suppress rising smmotion.-
We ought moi, perhaps, to regard general opin-
ion, however long. established, unless we can
refer to the authority on which it is founded,
although prevailing sentiment of this kind is
generally correct. 1t was so in the case of
the celebrated NeWburg infanmaiory letters,
which are now avowed by the person TO whom
they have always been ascribed. But General
armstrong hes not informed us who his adyis-
ers and associates were. Dr. Eustis was pres
emit at that important crisis-and he has never
shared in the honour of aiding his Commander
IN Chief, in shielding his country from the blow
aimed at her bosom!
So much for the revolutionary services of
DR.. Eustis.

votes, whether they themselves, at the period
Of the Hartford Convention, were gully of
treason, or were in the honest exercise of the
