THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

We have heretofore given reasons why
every friend Of popular sovereignty in our
government and Of tho interests and honor
Of our country in its intercourse with for.

advocate the others by supporting Mr.. Van
Buren for Vice President. There are other

not less persuasive, which address them.

II is not denied that chief object with

Van Buren,, was 10 battle, weaken, morli.

i,s final dissolution |; for they were 90 infor
med as wen in debate, as through many
other channels. 10 charging Mr.. Van Blu.
rem with dishonoring his country through
tlsose instructions. they, therefore, charged
the President with the same offence. Ia
persisting in the charge, that Mr. Van Buren
produced the difficulties in the Cabinet
which led 10 its dissolution, they charged
the President with falsehood and subscrvion

promoting TO the Office Of Secretary Of State,

Foop.--In disorder which affects the
stomach and intestines, all attempts at pre-
ycntion would be useless, without a n,ost
strict attention to food. A fact established
hy the experience of all Europe and Asa
is that the "Cholera attacks the tippler" srd
makes him his first victim. A little OK ess,
even In wine, exposes to the disease. Liq.
uids of all kinds should be moderately used.
The safest are common tea and teas made
of domestic herbs, taken vain. Acid
drinks nro pernicious. Cold water, If pure,
may he taken in moderate quantity, but
when the weather Is hot, and the thirst
great. the mouth, and hands, and the face
should be previously washed.
Excess Of solid food 10 a sure preparation
for the disease The best articles Of food
are danserous. Fruits, unless very fne,
had better be avoided. Strawberries, taken
by themselves, or with the addition OF liz
tie wine, are the least likely TO do mischief,
Pastry, preserves, pickles scarcely need be
mentioned as requiring total prohibition. Y
All unusual fatigue and exercise expos.
ure TO cold, wet, and to the night air, should
be avoided. The dress should be carefully
regulated according to the changes of tenn
peIature. Flannel next 10 the skin is uni
versally recommended, and to those Of d
more delicate habit 10 indispensable.
What we have already said on the sab
ject Of ventilation, will make II snfhcient}9
understood that we believe the pure air OF
the country to be more salutsry during the
hot season, than that Of large town.
While, therefore, il is not Indispensable to
fee the City on the appearance OF the
Cholera, and while we doubt not il viii.
pursue different course fro n yellow fever,
and infect the country if il does the town we
should advise those who have the means OF
selecting their residence, TO quit the fre-
quented walks Of men, and seek retirement
and sequestration, during the prevalance Of
the epidemic.
Finally, wc recommended good con-
science and a fearless performance Of duty
as the best of all preservatives against this
disorder. 1t is wei! known TO physicians
that the most timid are most frequently the

cullarly the case with Cholera, because il
affects the nervous system. We therefore
strongly urge on our fellow citizens, per-
feet confidence in the wisdom and goodness
of God, and full assurance that those who
perform His will by the devotion Of their
labors to the sick and suffering, are taking
the sursst means to escape the attack of this
disease.
