Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1832-06-26

We have collected below, all the information up
on this exciting subject which has reached us since
our last Publication. The mortality in Canada, is
very grcat-greatrr by far, in proportion TO the no.
puaton of the place, than it has been in any citv
IN Europe But there is good evidence that
there has been single case this side of the Cana
dian Boundary. God grant that it NAV not reach
us. And, from the efforts making to uurifv our
city, which has thus far been efficient and SUCCESS
full, added to the prohibition upon the atlnssiopof
cmigrants from Montreal, we have strong reason
to hope that the direfIl calamity may pass by. or
rather fall short of us.
we have strong prcscntimcnt, that if the Cho
lcra should appear in this city at ALL il will break
out Immediately after the 9TH of July--that is if
the national jubilee is again to be marked bv the
drunken orgies which have heretofore attended its
celcbration 1t Will be rccollccted that the Cholc
IA first broke out among the lower classes of the
people at Sunderland immediately after the revels
of the Christmas holiday. Like causes will have
tendency to produce like effects elsewhere We
are happy to perceive, however that n resolution
has been proposed in Board of the Com
mon Council, declaring it 20 be nexpedient to cele
brate the anniversary in the ordinary manner Let
the Corporation dine together, if they please; but
let there be no erection of BOOTHS and let the dram
shops be closed.

nearly deserted.
Another letter from the same higblv respectabIo
