several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state of the most miserable

in the distribution of his medicine to the poor, ana IN
the support even of whole families until cure was ef

The LATE ELECTIoN.-The late election Of
gentlemen to represent the people Of this town; in
the State Legislature, may with propriety be con-
sidered triumph Of power, as well triumph Of
political principle, over confederated party, who
have long, and too successfully welded the des-
tinies ofthis community.
We do not intend to disparage any mans charac-
ter and far is it from to arraign the conduct Of
either Of the unsuccessful gentlemen, who on re.
cent OCCASION candidates for the Office of repre-
tatives; but the result should tell them in that
strong language ofpublc expression, which cannot
be mistaken, or misunderstood that the will Of the
sovereign people must and will be obeyed. 1t should
also teach them, that the commonality-that pro.
portion of the populace who have, by reason of the
influences Of overgrown wealth, quietly sat them.
selves down, and beheld their affairs managed Just
as suited the fancies the whims of an aristocratc
association. is the fountain head of municipal and
political power and that it is in vain that their op.
posers attempt to deprive them Of their rights.
For more than thirty years, the destines of the
people Of Providence, have been controlled by about
ten or twelve capitalists, who have associated at
certain tapernacle, wnere every important Ques.
tion has been asitated, and IN concave, they have
matured their designs and secured their objects.
Belonging 10 the mercantile class. they have had
undue influence over the mechanical part of the
populace, many Of whom, by threats they have COM
PEELED 10 vote, just suited the ancies of their EN-
ployers. The spell and the league have at last
been broken--freemen and the minority have tri.
umphed and now, secure in their victory, let them
never again yield their rights, or by threats, be in.
duced 20 vote in opposition to the dictates of their
senses, or in violation Oftheir political sentiments.
The triumph of which we now speak. is also q
triumph Of the Administration, and the result
proves in the strong and naexible language Of fact
and truth, that no be elected to an office Of
emolument or honor, who is opposed to the best
interests Of the naton--to the administration Of
John Quincy Adams, or who participates in the
political fortunes and fates of Elisha r. Potter

PITTSBURGH, JAN. "a.

Influenza "A kind of epidemic dis
ease, which. perhaps, may not be impro-
perly denominated the influenza, greatly
prevails a, present IN this city and the
adjacent coan,ry. Few families or in
dividuals have wholly escaped. Many
have been so deeply afflicted, as TO be
unable TO attend TO their business, and
some have been, for several days, con-
fined to their houses, and for the most
part to their beds; yet we have not been
informed of any instance in which it has
proved mortal.-This disease, or one ST.
miIar to it, prevailed in the Eastern
states in the month of December; and
is spoken of in the Boston Medical In
teliigenccr in the following terms:
The principal disorders during the
present month have been Of an lntlama-
tory nature, most frequently occurring
about the throat and air passages, some
times extending to the lining OF the
branches OF the wind-pipe, occasioning
cough, hoarseness, thirst, lassitude, want
Of appetite, sc. denominated cold, OF

slight disease, is often the forerunner Of
that highly dangerous and generally Ia
tai complaint, consumption. The Inda-
nation is communicated from the lining
membrane OF the lungs 10 their substance,
causing liberation, and hectic lever sue
ceeds. it occasions asthma,
or dropsy in the chest. 1t should not,
therefore, be neglected; but only the
most simple precautions, except when
the disease is of peculiar severity, are
requisite. When the Inflammation ex-
tends to the substance OF the lungs, il
may be known by hard. harsh, grating
sort OF cough, the noise of which seems
limited TO a circumscribed space in the
chest-,he expec,oration is scanty, and
for some time, tenacious yellowish mu.
cus-the pulse is generally Tagging,
the respiration heavier or more oppress-
ed than natural, and though there is
cough, pain is often absent. In this state,
or in the commencement Of the chronic
Inflammation of the lungs, blood-lett'ng
should be employed, rest in bed, spare
farmacious diet should be enjoyed, and
asionally a mild asperiant; digi.alis,
so as to reduce the pulse TO its natural
standard, and keep it there for some time,

progress OF disease 10 the lungs
