THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE in DANGER.

THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE in DANGER.
1t was chiefly owing to publication by the
Board of Health of N. York, that notion became
generally prevalent last summer, that the use of
Malt Liquors was prejudicial as beverage during
the existence of Epidemic Cholera and mainly by
reason of the proclaimed opinions of one or two
misguided Physicians of the same city, that brandy
and other ardent spirits were substituted in most
extensive, and il is feared exceedingly pernicous
degree. Myself uniformly friendly to the efforts
which have been made to promote temperance,
was induced to believe that the introduction of
beer, ale and porter, would supercede the vast
quantity of ardent spirits universally consumed,
and thereby the deplorable habit of drunkenness,
with its melancholy train of evils would be cor
rected and perhaps ultimately abolished The
prescription therefore Of malt drinks was noticed
with great regret, and has led TO inquiries on the
subject, which have yielded the following facts
LIST. That the decrease of the sales Of the brew
ers in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, &c. during the period of the prevalence of
Cholera was at least sepentyfue per cent.
I'd. That in public inns, steamboats,, &c. and
at private tables, brandy has become the general
substitute.
Sd. That those who drank ardent spirits were the
subjects and victims of Cholera.
The next point to ascertain was, whether those
who drank malt liquors had been therefore liable
to the epidemc;--
Extensive investigations were made in our cities
and elsewhere, and the most conclusive evidence
has been furnished, that those who drank ale, &c.
were remarkably exempt fion that disease--not
an instance of death from yholera has occurred
among the great number of persons employed at the
Breweries in the United States, as far as informa-
ton has been received. Amongst multitude of
facts showing, to say the least of it, the harmless

letter from gentleman of great responsibility in
Poughkeepsie, where the cholera ragged in fright
full manner, bear testimony
"There are 80 to 40 English families residing
in this village and vicinity, all of whom have for
many years been accustomed to the use of malt
liquors as their common beverage, using it instead
of tea and coffee, and during the great mortality
in this place not of them have been attacked"
The conclusions from the foregoing statements
are irresistible,
LIST. That malt liquors are by no means preiudi-
cial when cholera prevails, but on the contrary
their use has proved beneficial.
I'd. That by authentic information derived from
the history ofthe disease wherever it has prevailed
those who INDUCED in ardent spirits, were swept
in most awfully striking manner to the grave.
And lastly, that the effort to prevent the use OF
malt liquors has induced thousands of persons to
resort to fascinating alcoholic drinks their attach
ment to which may prove unconquerable and ia
tai.

Aitel couversIng with you saw Col. Johnson,

led with direct charge which had previously been
made, that Cambreleng making an effort to
destroy the Courier and Enquirer, induced me to
seek an interview with Mr.. Cambreeng, and told
him at once my object in calling. | said il was
due to frankness to say that he had been directly
charged with an intention TO injure us. to benefit
the Albany Argus, and that | wished to know in
what light to consider him, whether as, an enemy
or friend. He replied that he had stated to the
committee that Mr.. Van Buren,, myself and him
self were " intimate and confidential political and

US on a different footing. | then enquired into
