STATE DEBrs-The Star alleges that have
denied that the Wings intended to assume the debts
ofthe States. Very true, and we do again. as it
respects them as party. There some in our
ranks who wish the General Government to loan
stock to the indebted States to keep them from Bank
ruptcy and to disgrace of reputation, which
some Of the Locofoco States lesoting to- in order
to pay the money which they have hired: but there
are no more wings who favor this plan than Locofo-
COS, we shou Id judge that is if the Journal of Com
msrce a locofoco paper tells the truth No. Messrs.
Star Editors, the Wings would divide the proceeds
Of the sales OF tho Public Lands among tho States,
where they belong, and let the States use them as
they chose, and it is quite probable that the indebted
States would use them TO their credit and pro-
tect tter honor.

ERXsIpELAs. This disease, which we have no
ced several times before still prevailing and more
general than ever, in part Of Orleans and Caledonia
Counties. 1t first appeared, this season, in few
towns near the Line, and has since been gradually
nearing from the North till now, in the northern
part OF this town it is general, and also at the East
Village. and few have occurred in the vicinity
of the Plain. There were, few days since, as we
were informed by one our physicians, thirty
in this town, and there has since been no abatc-
ment, to our knowledge.
Tho disease still RACES N Burke and its vicinity
but with less violence than it did three or A weeks
since. At Lyndon last week we were tod by IA gen
tleman Of the town, there were al one time some sew
enty cases The populat on Of the town is less than
two thousand There were three deaths there on
Monday morning OF last week. At North Dnnve it
has been fatal probably than at any other place.
and has carried off there, in other places, several
citizens Of great usefulness to the community In 9th
parts of DanviIe has been less prevalent and con
sequenty less fatal 1t is also prevailing at Wheeocl
Sutton, Glover, and or less in the towns around
these.
1t appeared in the early part of the season. ut Der
by, and ragged for several weeks, when it was hoped
that was leaving the place, but three weeks
since it broke out again with greater violence and IA
taity.
1t has been remarked to us by those having an OPP
porunity to judge that and mild weather tends
greatly to moderate the disease, and then, when
cold weather appears the disease is violent and
fatal. If this be true, may look to the opening of
spring with the hope that the change in the weather
may exerminate the epidemic This was the
case, we believe lat season. In places where it
ragged during the writer, it gradually left them rs
the warm weather approached. Thus far it has
gathered its hosts to the grave, and doubtless
many now living will never be famed bv the zeph-
crs of the coming spring. Gods ways, surely, are
past finding out.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.:

Look out for Pipe-layers and Colonizers! ex-
claims the mouth-piece of the party which repealed
the Registry Law and thus broke down the only
safe barrier against Colonizing. Surely every body
understands this paltry trick. Wings look cut for
Pipe.laying! This Loco-Foco clamor is raised to
cover villany. Remember who brought the prison
ers of Blackwell's Island to carry the Fourth,
Seventh and Eighth Wards last Spring, and who
moved Fire Companies out of the Eighth into the
Fifteenth. Watch them closely!
