CHoLERa AND THE ARMY We are informed
b, Col. Berry who arrived in town DAY or two
since, from Rock Island, that the cholera had bro
ken cut at that place With fearful violence
There had been up to the time Col Il. left, 50
deaths, principally among the soldiers engaged
lin the late expedition on the northern frontier
The troops who came from the lakes under the
command of Gen. Eustis, had not been at the fort
on Rock Island; they were in good health, and
Ia finer band, saws our informant, has never been
seen ln our country. Three companies of the IL
month Rangers had also arrived at the Island,
they were generally in good health The num-
per of cases of actual cholera, was not accurate
llv known; the disease, however, had not abated
leither in vrulence orfrequency, when COL Ii. left.
He was delayed short time on his way in mus
tering out of service few companies Of Rangers
|ralled out last May, at poin, near Rock Island

His information is the latest received, and an

We announce to-day for the first time, the
candidates tor President, Vice President, and
Electors which we intend to support. Our
friends have expressed some surprise, thai we
have so long omitted to do So Their opinions,
we respect, and would at all times wish to pay
"A proper regard to an expression of the views
and sentiments of such of them as belong to the
true democratic school; yet we have hitherto
seen no very urgent reasons, making an an
nouncement of our candidates specially neces-
.sary. Our course has long since been settled,
and from it we have not swerved. Regarding
the reelection of our present Chief Magistrate
sure almost beyond doubt, we have been dis
posed to let matters take their own course Gen.
Jackson's Administration has been almost uni
iformly prosperous and happy; in his measures
he has shewn himself the friend of the people
and firm supporter of the Democratic princi-
pies upou which our Government is based; as
such, he receives the almost undivided support OF
the freemen of Illinois, and as such, though it be
but mite, we yield him ours His reelection
I'VE still regard sure, but the time is approach
ing When the important question is to be decided
II is proper that the friends of the Democracy
should know upon whom they can count.

CLAY MEETINGs--Public meetings have re-

the purpose Of nominating electors to vote for
Henry Clay for President. The proceedings Of
these meetings, show quite largely in the public
prints, they sound loud abroad, but like some good
men We read Of 10 ancient times, in their own

Let not our friends abroad be deceived, nor our
opponents fattersd with vain hope.

has few very active & Jealous partisans, scatter
led about in various parts of the country who have
learned of him to make great display in the
shape of speeches, resolutions, addresses and
meetings on paper; but when they come TO tell
their votes, they fail. The majority of the peo-
pie who have the uotes, the objects of the politi-
cams longings, at their disposal, think differently
from them.
1t will be perceived by reference to another
column, that a meeting of the 'Natonals'' has
also been held at this place. We knew nothing of
It till the proceedings were presented to with

soma, friends, and whose character, though par
ticipate not in their politics. entities them to our
respect, but of the fact of their meeting being a
large one there is more room for doubt Ifit were
so, it is little singular that it went by so still.
We have no objection to inserting their proceed.
