To give his views in relation to tho power cxerci-
cscd by tho President in removing persons from
ottce,--staing, that there was no Office too high,
and none too low to be spared; that civil and mill
tary services were no shield; and that a man who
could show wounds from Lexington to Yorktown
nay, even Warren hunsclt, IT alive, would have
had to submit to the prescription, unless he would
comply with the statutes of party, and wear the
party collar on his neck. Such power was too
tyrannical for irecmen to submit to--no British

ton of what to BIO the end of all this? How
far would these Executive usurpations extend an
other year, and ought not the people like their

The administration, said Mr.. W., could not be

In the conclusion of his remarks, he said there
remained now for the people to take the work into

both men and measures. He did say that if Gen.
Jackson were reelected, that he and his party
would understand it To be the deliberate sanction,

FROM NORFOLK.

Inc Beacon of Saturday evening furnishes the
a'est intelligence from Norfolk, and il is curious
us VOL as unpleasant, that we get news from Dos.
ION WIN almost as much despatch from Norfolk
una portsmouth. Tho strong feelings of sympa-
my ana interest which pervade this community for
their fellow citizens of Norfolk, render the delay
IN nearing from them in their present circum-
Stances extremely disagrceable. This is caused
oy the suspension of the running of several boats,
ana ny tho necessity, forced upon the Editors of
inc Beacon by the pestilenco, of reducing their
publication from six, to three times week.
We republish an article from tho Beacon which
mas some bearing upon suggestion made the
other day. as to the accuracy of the reports of the
Norfolk Board of Health We by no means
designed in what we said, to question the integri.
ty OF the Board. We presumed that if their re
ports were inaccurate. the fact was owing to cir.
cunstances beyond their controul; but wa thought
and still think, that the Public ought to know the
whole truth, that it the best policy TO allay
alarm, and that the Board ought DO appraised that
their reports were discreditcd by citizens of Nor
folk itself.
L. >. Since the above written, we learn
through gentleman who came up in last nights
Boat from Norfolk, that there were in Norfolk
from Saturday to Sunday noon, 50 deaths-from
Sunday noon, to Monday noon, 81 deaths-princi-
paly blacks. The paper accounts are to IL O'Clock
Friday, only; leaving the interval between Friday
and Saturday noon, unaccounted.
This is a great mortality; greater than any ex
perienced in America, except perhaps at Montreal.
Much of it is induced by imprudence in eating
fruits. Watcrmelons especially, have proved mos,
fatal at Norfolk. story is here, and said
to be literally true, that gentleman i'm or near
Norfolk, cut up his watermelon vines, and giving
the fruit to his hogs, they too died of Cholera (.
We exhort all people who have watermelon vines
to destroy them root and branch, without loss of
time. The hogs may not have died, but undoubt
eddy human beings have from that pernicious fruit.
We have founded small share of the hope we
entertain of the escape of Richmond, upon tho
use OF pit coal hero, the principal article of fuel
Its suiphurous property ID undoubtedly, from the
experience OF other places, repelant of the dis
ease. Once day, every hearth in the city ought
to be lighted Cellars especially ought to be dried
and tumigated, by slow coal fires. They are the
haunts of pesthential vapors. We respectfully in
treat the civil authorities to burn birthstone in the
streets at night. Its efficacy at Trois Rivieres was
most remarkable, for the escape of that place. stu
ated between Quebec and Montreal, seems fairly
ascribablo to that cause.
