 We have devoted 50 large a portion of eur paper 10 tie subject of Cholera, that we deem it necessary to assign reason therefor. This desolating scourge Is in general so malignant in ils nature as to produce death in a very few hours-oft- times in two or three hours. So much is our population scattered. andsso remote are most of our settlements from medical aid, that, shonld the disease. rayage our Territory, many valuable citizens must fall victims 10 1t bef5re medical assistance could be procured. To remedy this evil as far possible, we have collected to- gether all the valuable information we have mel with, and laid it before our read CTS, that they may know tie symptoms of the disease and be provided with the most suitable medicines 10 be administered in the commencement of tic attack

 In the Advocate ofthe 25th nIt., we at tribpted to oigBofance, the act Of tie Act ing GoVernor, in giving a part oftlfe pub lie printing to the Gazette. IL appears from the Gazette of last week, that tie Acting Goyernorzwas not as ignorant as we Lad considered him. He justifes his conduct under the plea of apeing the course pursed by the President and Secrc- tary of Stale, at Washington. He ob- serves that they arenot bound to give the Executive printing to the printers appoint edhy Congress to print for that body but sat the ieicsidentseiects his own7plinter, and to him is giaen the printing appertain- ing to the Executive department. This heinz inc case at Washington, G6pl Fnl- ton views I a precedent that viii lnstify hs course in Arkansas. II is immaterial with him whether or mol he IS acting in ac- cordance with law, provided he is pursu- ing parallel course with tue President. If the Executive department at Washing ton has law to authorize tue employ ment of printer dif'eren. from the one chosen as public printer by Congress, it matters not with the President of Arkansas wheth- CT ornot lie las law to justify his course-- he aims 10 be as great as the President of the Union, and arbitrarily wills, without law, what the President does in accor- danee with law It is well known fact that by an actof Congress, the Executive Of the United States is not bound to give Executive printing Q the printers of Con gross, but Is at liberty Go employ whom soever he pieascs Such, however, is not tbe case in Arkansas Here, the Legis- lature choose man to lo all the printing appertaining to the Territory, and provide 2 3 fund out of which he is to be paid, and there IS TO law authorizing tine Governor orSeeretsry 10 employ any other person to do any part of the public printing. It will hence appear, that lie plea of justifica- tion, set up by Gop Fulton, founded on the practice ofthe President of the United States, will not bear him out. The one acts in accordance with law-the other in eiolaiion of law.
