following paragraph: 1--WE regret to say
that few cases of this scourge have re-
Gently happened amongst us. So far as
we can learn there have been four cases,
all of which proved fatal; two were cases
of men who came here sick on board OF
steamboats, and died shortly after. One
Of these is said to have been habitually

blacks who were sick but short time.

regard these as accidental cases only, and
that they afford no evidence Of the resu

Comfort.-We can conceige Of nothin

Comfort.-We can conceive Of nothing
more hesrtless and abominable than the
language held by the Globe in regard to
the distress which has been inflicted on
the merchants Of the country by General
Jackson's experiment. To insult those
whom it Expresses has always been the
practice OF despotism and the Globe. as
the tool OF our imperial Tiberius, does
well TO revile that class of men who have
been most injured by its master. The fol
lowing passages will servo as specimens Of
the malignity and falsehood with which
General Jackson's official organ is daily
filled:
s'The merchants were generally for
the Bank, and they have joined in the
scheme and the clamor. They hold
in all The cities, meeting after meet
ing-speeches without end are made,
and resolutions upon resolutions adopt
ed, to convince every body thai they |
are all about to break. May they |
make public festivals and give the most
extravagant entertainments to bring
the people together, to have an oppor-
tunity Of convincing them, that they
are all ruined or about to be ruined"
eCan the merchants be surprised to
find, that after five months incessant
exerton, they have succeeded in de-
stroying their own credit How is the
Government to restore confidence in
the ability Of men soho nil insist upon
ii that they are ruined, and take so
much pains and spend so much money,
to destroy their own credit2'
ssThe unfortunate and virulent course
pursued by the mass of our merchants
towards the present administration, has
undoubtedly been one chief cause in
preventing fulflment Of the French
Treaty Of Indemnity"

binary nature. If we rightly understand
it,.not only is the whole capital stock Of
the Bank sunk, but its assets fall short OF

of the particulars of this statement are,
indeed, almost Incredible"

The Senate has confirmed the nomina
tons OF Joseph White, Saul Alley, Charles
M'Allister and Robert Vaux, as directors
of the Bank Of the U. States on the part
of the Government. They have rejected
the nomination of Henry Horn for the same
situation. 1t will be remembered that the
latter gentleman was often referred TO by
Gen. jackson in the conversations held
with him by the committees of the people
during the past winter; and that the Gen.
protested when giving him as authority,
that "Henry Horn could not lie."

10 ascertain:

John acknowledgements indicate
that the Kitchen Cabinet are about to a
dopt Mr.. Mclean as Gen. Jackson's sue
cessor, in place Of Mr.. Van Buren,. The
supposed coincidence Of Mr.. Mclean with
the President on the question of the depo-
sites, renders the truth Of this rumour not |
improbable. In letter from the Hon.
Taylor Webster, Of the House of Repre- |
sentatives, to gentleman in Cincinnati,
which has been recently published, a con-
versation held with Mr.. Mclean is de-
tailed, which, supposing it TO be authentic,
shews that Mr.. Mclean will pass for
very good Jackson. man, as times go. He
declared that he was opposed TO the Bank
on constitutional grounds, and would vote
(were he in Congress) against its re.
charter. "He stated he ,cas gerry clearly Of
the opinion that the President had the poo
er 70 remote the Secretary for the purpose
chich he did'-"As to the policy of the
removal, he stated very distinctly that he
did not express any opinion on it; he re-
marked. that it was a measure OF this ad
ministratlon, that he gave no opinion on
it. But he gaze II verg clearly as his OPT
nion,. that as The present Bank ,could not b,
re.ehartsred, as II ought not to be; TO RE
TURN The deposites ,eould be more likely Il
Increase than diminish The embarrassment,
Of The comtry-D he tcere in Congress il
tcould not meet his appreciation"
We have for some time been in doubt
as to the political sentiments Of Mr.. Nc
Lean. On the great question now agita
ting the country, the above seems suili
GENTLY explicit; But we do not for mo.
ment believe that Mr. Mclean will suffer
himself to be candidate for the Presiden

Cabinet, s. as successor to Mr.. Van Buren,

Jackson could bestow it, lie was nomi

DEAR SIR-lt is now upwards OF twenty years that |

most every description of disease and believe they
we'd many long doctors bill by their early and timely
use. found their accustomed certainty TO vary
in their operation and effects uat few months Pas
and having since then, been sadly disappointed in
ny instance of using them, began to conclude that
had made your fortune, and abandoned their ma1uac
ture to mercenary and unfathful hands. Under this
impression, accidentally saw an advertisement Of
yours in New York newspaper, designating spurious
limitations from your manufacture, BY having
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill OF directions,
and that in no instance were the limitations signed with
pen and ink, although perfect copy in every other
respect Finding those had without this test, be.
gan to suspect that all not fair in medicine,
well as in politics. and called at several OF apothe
carries for your pills, with your written signature
found many without this test, but none with It, until
came to the Messrs Keerls who assured me they had
them direct from you. lprocured box, and on using
them found the same effects from them had always
aud am SO much rejoced on finding my
