Cholera MOrbuS IN HqIifdr-The St.
Johns, New Brunswick, Colcnist, of the
Cd September, now before us, contains
an article from the Halifax Arcadian by
whicbit seems that two deaths by cholera
have occurred there. Would it not be
well that vessels from all quarters should
undergo the severest scrutiny at Guaran-
tine, along the Atlantic seaboad? In the
Baltic at this moment, it is raging to an
alarming extent; thousands are diving dali
iy, and English vessels are leaving daily,
without even clearance from the Gus
tom House. No endcavors should be
lacking, TO avertso dreadful scourge from
this Republic. 1t is poss ible that the
Cholera in Halifax may be merely local
The Arcadian says We regret to state
that this dreadful malady (the cholera)
has made its appearance in town.
Within our knowledge two cases have
this week produced death, and sew
erai other distressing ones have since oc-
CURED. Weknow not ofany steps which
can eflectually guard against the further
progress of this disorder, other than pre-
cautionary ones on the part of individu-
ais Northern pap.
The authorities of our principal cities
have adopted regulations to guard a.
gainst the Introduction of this fearful dis
order, bat we apprehcnd there is little
prospect of escape if the above be true.
The following article, from the Banner of
the Constitution, has been sent to us for pub
LEGATION by a correspondent may adj
vert TO it hereafter.

tribunal known TO the country. say. that he
would willingly consent to burn all The books
Adam Smith amongst the rest, and relv, for
solution OF the whole science, upon COM
mon sense Now, what he calls common
sense, IS this; BY prohibiting the importa-
ton OF foreign coffee, which can be had a.
broad Tor five cents pound, it might be an
object for the owner Of IA dollhouse to raise
coffee, at five dollars pound, which would
furnish employment for five dollars worth
OF domestic industry, instead of five cents
worth. This is the whole essence orthe Ia
riff argument, and it is upon such Common
sense notions as This that twelve millions Of
people are to be pillaged, for the benefit ola
million at the most
