THE CHOLERA

at last, obtained footheld on our shores
and there is no reason TO believe that it will
not gradually spread throughout the land,
as it has done in every other country which
1t has visited. Its progress may, possibly,
he temporarily checked in some places. bu,
little IS TO be hoped Com any restraints
which it will be possible to adopt and en-
force, IN such country as this, where the
facilities ofintercommunication between diff
ferent and distant parts are so great and
where people are unaccnstomed to the ie-
straints which are imposed under more ar
bltrary governments. We may rs well pre-
pare ourselves at once, to face the disease
manfully, and to meet it in the hest manner
possible. Cleanliness, temperance, sobrie-
~, and cheerfulncss, are among The best
safeguards against the disease. All unusu-
al excitement should he avoided as much as
possible. Gluttony, inebriety, anger peev-
ishness, and melancholy, are strong provo
catives of the disease, and they who indulge
in them may do it at the expense of their
lives.
The city authorities of Troy, Albany, and
New York are taking active and efficient
measures, to guard, if possible, against the
introduction of the destroyer into those
places, or, fit is introduced, to mitigate the
severity of the disease, as much as possible.
Ivy the application of such sanitary measures
as may most effectually accomplish that OBJ
ject. In New York an appropriation of
twenty-five thousand dollars has been made
to be placed at the disposal of the Board of
Health, to be used as they may think prop
er, to prepare for the Cholera. We NAV
reasonably hope that much good may be de-
rived from these timely precautions.
While ON this subject, we may remind our
readers that. in all countries, wherever the
Cholera has prevailed, its first and most de-
voted objects have been the habhual drink
ers Of ardent spirits. Let such, then, be ful-
ly apprzed OF their danger, and consider
which they value most, their lives, or con-
tinued indulgence in an expensive, and, to
say the least Of it, very unnecessary and
useless habit.
LATER. By the attention of VIM. A. Wheeler
of this town, who arrived from Albany Yesterday,
we have received the Albany Daily Advertiser
extra, Of Sunday, June II, from which we learn
hat l.. a. Al. ri,
The Steam Boat Phenix at Whitehall, on the 18TH
At Fort Miller, on the Canal between Whitehall!
and Albany, there were about 80 emigrants, two
of whom died of the Cholera on Friday. and. on
Saturday, three more we're sick and were expected
10 die that day. The Canal has been drawn off, in
order to prevent the passage of any more boats with
emigrants.
From Montreal, the accounts are NEST distress

men who left Montreal on Friday morning state,
that there were, on "Wednesday, ninety -four new
cases and twenty-three deaths in that city On
Thursday, the deaths were reported at from rs
10 100! Death generally enaued in from four
TO twelve hours, and few, or none, recovered

Steam Boats from Quebec to Montreal Continued
TO be crowded with emigrants, of whom, generally
from four to eight died on board each of the boats
The crew of one of the boats had refused to do any
further duty on board.
In Quebec, the deaths reported at about 40 a
day. There, all classes indsc.imirately fall vic.
tins to the disorder, while, at Montreal, thus far
at is said TO have been confined to the Incorporate
and the lowest class Of Canadians, whose Door liy
Ing and filthy habits predisposed them for the dis
ease.
The Steam Boats on Lake Champlain have been
stopped, and efficient measures have been adopted
at Burlington, Whitehall, aid other places to pre-
vent any further communication with Canada.
REMARKABLE Disclosures. The doc
uments, appended to the report of the mi
nority of the Committee to investigate the
concerns of the Bank of the United States,
have been published, and they disclose,
completely, the motives which induced Gen.
Jackson's hostility to the Bank of the Unit
ed States. Immediately after the organ-
zation of his administration, an attempt was
made through the agency of Isaac Hill,
Lew Woodbury., and the Secretary of the
Treasury, to Van Bureni.e the Bank, and
to make it great political engine in the
hands 1.-the administration. The President
OF the Bank, being Jackson man, it was
thought that the proposition might be made
to him with impunity. But he proved toe
honest, ami resisted the repeated attempts
TO coax or to ntimidate him into compli.
ance with their wishes. When it was found
that further importantly would he unavail.
ing, vengeance was denounced, and the
President of the Bank was given to under.
stand that he must expect the active hostil.
ity aot the administration. In accordance
herewith, at the next session of Congress
the Message, to which Gen. Jackson's sig.
nature was affixed, questioned "both the
cons'ltutionaity ami expediency" of the
Institution, and proposed a monster, as sub
stitute, to be entirely under the control o
the Treasury department of the government
