Extract from :, CaLI,eeH on Maiaria," IN the
.4,aerican Journal Of The Medicd Sciences for
August, 1851.
presenting the formation, and removing the sour
ces Of Malaria:
To this great practical question, on 0hose solt'
tion and the measures founded on it, depend the
health aud lives Of millions, an answer may be
rendered in single word -ctc@iiness. NO
thing further than the preservation OF this can be
done, nor is any further necessary, to remove,
or Destroy the sources of malaria, which will OF
course 4" prevent ITS formation" All real nth
consists in mixture of two Of the elements OF b-
lous miasma; water. and vegetable and animal
relics. Nhas been already shown. that without
such mixture, that poison cannot be formed. The
removal or destruction of the mixture constitutes
cleanliness. BY that process, then, repeat, and
BY that alone, can the production of bilious maa-
ria be prevented.
Man " works wisely aud successfully only when
Ne initiates nature. Her chief agents in produc-
ing and preserving cleanliness are four: pure wa
ter, pure air. fire, and-aetive vegetation. She
never EMPLOYS, with this intention, smoke, suffo-
eating fumes, or strong and offensive odours; nor
ought man to do IT.
Piles of decaying timber, alternately wet and
dry. and exposed to the ardor Of an American
summer sun, must produce malaria as certainly
and naturally, as the influence of Spring promotes
vegetation and the rigors Of Winter suspend it.
In places where the tide rises and falls, 1t is not
uncommon fay The docks to be so shallow tina: the
immense beds Of filth they contain become bare,
and are exposed, during low water, to the action
If the sun. While in this situation, the exhala-
ton from them is intolerably noisome and scken-

PopERy IN Power. 1t is understood that the
new attorney General Is a bigofed Papisl; and
that he was selected for that very important Office,
with special reference to that circumstance, that
the votes of the Papists might be secured.
No public Office in the Federal Government can
SO easily be brought to influence national affairs
in reference to Popery, as that of the Attorney
General. He's the official exposition Of the laws
for the Executive; and it is obvious with how
much facility new system Of Interpretation and
practice can be silently introduced by the chica.
merry Of Papst, who is under those obligations
to foreign tyrant which supersede and nudity
all other allegiance.
We know nothing Of the Attorney General.
except that in Baltimore he is represented as a
thorough going Papist, possibly concealed lay
member of the Order Of the Jesuits-but one po-
sition we maintain, and the infalIibEe correctness
of which are at all times ready to demonstrate:
that every sincere Pap,st is disqualified, de facto,
from holding any office mnder Protestant Gov.

REMARKs.--We find the above quoted in a
New York paper, and note it as an instance OF sec
tartan b,go!ry disreputabIe to any press, and the
more so to one that processes to be devoted 10 the
.promul CATION Of the doctrines of the Gospel Of
peace.
We suspect that the article has found ITS way
inadvertently to the press, or that the editor Is
some noUiciaie who has more zeal than knowledge.
Mr.. fancy is an able jurist, profound scholar,
an amiable gcntI cman, and an honest man. He is
Catholic, but not the less qualified on that ac
count to be Attorney General of the United States
The article quoted above belongs to that age OF
religious intolerance, which built up the inqusi.
ton; and was penned in the spirit in which is
dyed the blood Of the martyrs 1t will lind no re-
Spouse in any party Or sect in this free and happy
country.-7stegraph.
We concur entirely with the Baltimore Repub
lican, and other papers without distinction Of
party in their denunciation Of the bgoted spirit of
an article in periodical entitled The PrOtes-
tant," in which the appointment: of Mr.. fancy
to the office of Attorney General of the United
States is denounced, because Of his being ga
Papist'' Such intolerance is against the spirit
of the aye, aud especially repusnant to the Prin.
cipIes OF, which our Government IS based. We
have the pleasure to be acquainted with Eanv
sssincere" Roman Catholics who have for many
years held Office under the Government, and the
Government has certainly had no better officers,
nor society any more respectable members. In
