Mr.. EDITOR: In consequence of the highly
respectable name left with the communica
ton signed A., in the last Spy, and the pre-
sumed disinterested motives which led its az
thor to make the inquiries therein mentioned l.
we have been induced 10 Teply,-protesting . I
the same time against the proprieiy of newsps d.
per discussions of medical theories, and expres 3.
ing our determination no further TO motto e
the subject in this way.
When called upon by the Seectmen Of the
town, in the case of Mr.. Dowley's child, for an
opinion of the disease, we promptly gave that
opinion, together with such name, as, in our
opinion, best characterized the disea Sc. To
them, therefore, we refer the authur, e,bserviny
at the same time, that our subsequer.t observo.
tons and refiectians have confirmed us in the
correctnessofthe opinion then gwen. We there.
fore answer 10 the inquiriesin tho communica.
ton above referred to:
i. That we gave the disease the name which
as before stated, We thought hes explained il
character and symptoms, and, if other people
differ from us in opinion, we are perfectly WI.
ling they should express their opinion, bv an.
plying TO it such other name as they NAV prefer
2. The disease is of highly Contagious
character, circumstance, we think, of more
consequence for the public to be apprised of
than whether it may be called by one name OF
another.
3. The yar;ooid is considered by some an.
thors to be merely modification of the small
pox. as produced by vaccination or variolatior,.
or by the small pox the natural way, but nro,
ducing the perfect disease in the unprotected
This is the opinion Of the medical gentlemen
named in the communication. Others. and
those perhaps not less experienced in their OBJ
servations of the disease, have viewed il differ
emily, and have considered it an imperfcct
small po1, in as much rs all the constitutional
symptoms are much milder, in its wanting the
secondary fever and Lucrative stage of small
pox, in its resembling that disease in the an
pearance of the eruption, but running It's course
sooner. and being Unattended (under proper
management by its peculiar dangers, but more
especially as it is capable of re producing itself
in the same modified form in the unprotected
This is the opinion Of Professor Ebere of Phila
delphia and others.
a. The opinion in question we consider mac.
curale, as it applies the name of well known
highly malignant and fatal disease, to one, un-
der proper management, comparatively mild
and harmless, and one that, in our opinion, wants
many of its essential properties and symptoms.
The facts in relation to this disease, we shall
preserve, and probably, at some future time,
give them To our professional brethren through
an appropriate channel

AMALGAMATIoN. The three first pages
of the last Yeoman bear their usual caption
of the Massachusetts Yeoman," hut the
fourth is headed Worcester County Re-
publican" What are we to consider this
sign of? BY the way. while speaking of
the Yecman. we would remind the editor
that his readers have been informed through
the columns of that paper, that, if the votes
of Sutton had been returned, the National
Republican list of Senators, in this County,
would not have been chosen; and sucl, of
them as do not have access to more correct
sources of information, believe that none, of
them were elected. Will the editor do his
readers the justice to let them know that
they have been deceived therein, and that
four out of the five were chosen by 81 ma
jority of all the votes given by the people of
the County?

lFWe have already minated orr in
tentlon, ut proper time, to publish state
ment in relation to the disease which has for
some time past prevailed in this town, and I o
the opinions which we have given thereup,-
on. That statement, we feel fully assured,
will exculpate US from blame in the minds
of all honorable, fair minded men. But.
we have determined to select the time f ,r
the accomplishment of that purpose. whe n
the disease shall have been entirely erac j.
Gated from amongst US, and when the mo-
tive for making the publication will not lie
liable, as at present, to misconstructio'n.
From this determination we are not to lie
driven by the scurrility of the Westborou h
correspondent of the Millbury Plebeia n.
The malignity and rancor of his attack on
us, whom he has singled ont as the pecui ar
objects of his abuse, although, if there is
blame attachable any where, others a re
equally culpable with ourselves, shew tn at
his venom springs from other causes, and
that the present occasion is seized upon by
him, as favorable opportunity to give i:
vent. We understand. his motive and The
origin Of has hatred. They are both dis
honorable to him. IF we had no 9th er
proof the articles themselves bear inter nal
evidence of the fact, that they were W rit-
ten by the same person who so grossly IL
belled his own town, in the Yeoman of the
9Th Of April last. In an article there pub
lished, among other disreputable things, he
said that many of the people of Westbor-
ough believed their newspaper "to be nF
diuine origin"' and that they placed it " on
par with Revelation The reputation
of people, elsewhere, can suffer but little
from the abuse of one who libels his own
town, and who, by the reckless course he
pursues, entities himself TO the character of
common slanderer.

SoUTHBRIDGE REGISTER. We perceive
by the last Register, that the establishment
has been sold, and that that paper is to be
discontinued after the first of February.
Its place, however, is to be occupied by
another, to be called the Village Courier.
The Register has supported, with consider
able ability, the great principles of republi..
canlsm and the constitution, and advocated
with frmness and vigor, the American Sys-
tenn, as the grsad basis Of sur national
prosperity. IL has been conducted on hon
orable, liberal, and manly principles, with
out any of that demagogism to which some
editors resort, to promote their own inter
ests, under pretence of regard for the
public good. With such an example before
them, and from the tenor of the prospectus
the publishers have issued, we have favora-
bic anticipations of the course which will
be pursued by the new paper, the Courier,
and hope that it will prove faithful coad-
jutor in support of those vital principles for
which we contend.
