The CHOLERA. This disorder is now
prevailing in New York, where it seems to
have been regularly gaining ground since
its first appearance. Yet it is, thus far, mild
and moderate compared with what it was in
Quebec and Montreal, in its early stages in
those cities, and it is to be hoped, that, ow-
ing to the precautions which have beentak-
en-, and to the greater care with which the
necessities of the sick will be attended to,
its ravages may be comparatively circum-
scrihed. Abstracts from the official reports
will be found in another column.
In Albany, also, the disease prev ails to
limited extent, and generally in mild form.
On the 9Th, seven new cases and four deaths
were reported, and on the 9th, twelve new
cases and two deaths. The Gazette of the
9TH says, that within fortnight there have
been not less than 100 cases. most of them
mild, and that nineteen cases out of twenty
yield readily to the influence of medicine.
Some interesting extracts in relation to
this subject will be found in another column
particularly those from the Quebec Gazette
By these it will be seen that the disease
does not spread in the country thereabout.
The Quebec Mercury says that in parishes
about the city where cases have occurred,
they have been generally in persons en-
ployed in that city and in :heir families.
BY the Montreal Courant of July 4, we
learn that the city was clear of the Cholera,
though it continued to prevail in the sub
urbs. On the LIST, the new cases were %,
deaths %: on the Cd, new cases 10, deaths
90.
A NOTABLE FACT. Accounts fIom Mon

ance Society in that city, two persons only

MONTREAL. July 3.
On speaking with one of our most intelligent
and respectable physicians, (Dr. Rnberison,)
this dap, and asking him if the disease has quite
or nearly ceased, he replied thus 1.-THE panic
is over in great degree; one does not meet
dead bodies by dozens in all directions, vet
there are more daily attacks, and more that
prove fatal than there were in London and Ed.
inburg at the height of its ravages in those
places, in proportion to the number Of inhabi

and Saturday, the 29th and Both ult., there was
something of an increase of the cholera again.

TELLURIC THEORY OF CHOLERA.

The Camdon Journal correctly says that the sub.
joined remarks of the Leipsic Gazette, have much
pith in them. Speculation the cause and mode
of propagation of Cholera, is infinite, and every
suggestion is supported by plausible circumstances
But, as Gov. Randolph said being .'inaudiblc, in
visible, intangible and noderous," the cause has
escaped, and forever will escape detection. These
theories amuse, but prove nothing, except the alb
solute ignorance which prevails.
1.-The opinion is gaming ground ut Vienna, that
the Cholera is entirely telluride and created by me.
phit'c vapours which formed in the earth and
first communicated to the water 1t was owing Ia
this, il is said, that at Vienna the Cholera first
broke out i'll the city, where the wells and fountains
are deeper than in the suburbs. In the same man.
accounted for the fact that the Cholera often
attacks many persons in house, whilst in
others it attacks none. The water helm :. saturact
with the telluric masma. In consequence of this
hypothesis many persons drink boiled water, as
they consider this preservation against the dis
ease. From this supposition it is probable has ari-
sen the generally prevailing supposition that the
wells have been poisoned. In some places the
poultry and pigeons died in great numbers NOR
tally has also been remarkable among the fish in
MANY rivers. Numerous facts moreover, prove
that the Cholera follows the course o. rivers, and
breaks out chiefly in the neighborhood of waters."

THE KENTUCKY EI.EcrIoN

Great and voci 'ereus, is the Joy of the Jackson
prints-Fire ie ROi quand meme-at the success

to Think that it is decisive of the question and de-
monstrativc OF the asccndency of Jacksonism there
and intreatingly demand, show Mr.. Clay can hone
Tor the votes of other States, who cannot command
that OF his own" Were it true that he cannot
there would be point in the question. Let us ask
them why 1T Is that they so obstnately insist upon
the election OF Governor, the exclusive test of
public sentiment? By what ratiocination they
have discovered that neither that of 1t. Governor
nor Members of Assembly, is entitled TO any re.
spect as Indicative of the wishes of the People OF
Kentucky? Will Mister Blair of the Globe Law Lis
hand upon his most conscientious left breast, ant
declare that If Buckner had been elected but More
lieak defeated, and the Jackson party had carried
majority In both Houses, that lie would not i'm thai
case, have protested, nay, most roundly swore
that Kentucky all hollow for jackson? He
would undoubtedly.
That Buckncr defeated by local causes, no
man will doubt after reading the following extract
from the Kentucky Reporters
''We were aware, before the election. that Mr.
Buckner would not combine the full strength Of
Mr. Clay III kentucky, owing TO his being mem
Der of a particular denomination of Christians; but
we could rot bring our minds to believe that that
circumstance would have operated 10 the extent il
has. Local feelings too, have had an influence be-
yond what 1t was expected they could possibly
have. In many of the counties where there are
unquestionably large majorties for MIR. Clay, the
maJoritIes tor Mr.. Buckner have dwindled down TO
Il mere cypher While in more than one coun.
ty in the whole State, has he obtained a single
vote beyond the strength of the question. That is
the county Of Green. In addition to this, two
Clay papers in the State warmly supported Mr.
Breathitt.

decided majority. In the House of Representatives
the majority will be from 20 to 25 and in the SEN

This Meeting, waving all discussion to slavery

not to declare its belief in the opinion almost uni

that the existence OF a free colorcd population
among us, is grievance of serious ard increasing
magnitude, and one that it behoovcs the Common
wealth to lose no time in cndeavoring TO mitigate

suit To the free negroes themselves. Therefore,
