TIE P~REsIpENT's MEssAeE.-Wc
received the Message of the President
on Wednesday last, but having already
in hand the Inaugural Address of Gov.
Edwards, it was impossible tor us to lay
the Message before our readers to-day
1t will appear however in our next num-
Der. Our internal affairs are represent
ed as being in a most prosperous con-
dition. The present condition Of the
Treasury is shown by the following ex-
tract from the Message:
"Afier the payment Of upwards ofS1-
100000, on aceouu of the interest, and
in redemption of more than So 100000
of the public debt, which falls due on
the first of January next, and setting a.
part upwards of 81, 900 900 for the pay
ment of outstanding Treasury notes, and
meeting an instalment of the debts Of the
corporate cities of the District Of ColHm-
bia--an estimated surplus OF upwards OF
$1,000, 900, over and above the exist
Ing appropriations, will remain in the
Treasury at the close ofthe fiscal year"
Oar relations with foreign countries
are of the most arnicable and friendly
character. Negotiations are now pend
ing between the United States and Great
Britain, relative 10 the rights Of the re-
spective nations in and over Oregon, the
result of which is not vet known. The
President recommends the establishment
of military posts and suitable points on
the line of road travel 10 Oregon; de-
signed mainly, 10 protect the cmlGran'
on his long and fatigueing journey t
his new home on the banks of Columbia
He also recommends the extension O.
our laws over the territory. to protect
the emigrant in his person and property
after he shall have reached his far Of
home.
In relation TO Texas, the message says;
Nothing has occurred since our last
session, to induce a doubt that the dispo'
sition of Texas remains unaitered. Nc
intirnation of an altered determination
on the part of her Government and peo-
ple, has been furnished to the Executive
She still desires TO throw herself under
the protection of our laws, and TO par
take of the blessings of OH federatlV'
system; while every American interes
would seem to required ii.
1t is the will of both the people ant
the States, that Texas she'll be annexed
to the Union, promptly and Immediately
1t may be hoped that, in carrying INT,
execution the public will, thus declared
all collateral issues may be avoided. Flu
tnre Legislatures can best decide as t
the number of States which should b.
formed ont Of the territory, when tn
time has arrived for deciding that qncs
ton.

THE PRErExDED ELECTION fRAcpS
~ LoursrAsA.-The New Orleans Kc-
publican of the Slh inst, after aIiading
to the change Of fraudulent voting pre-
serred against the Democrats Of Plaque
mines parish, by the Bee and IrOplc OF
that city, and copied by the Wing papers
all over the country-shows the whole
8 orv to be false, by a very plaig,state
mer,t of the facts Of the cass, The
Democrats obtained about looonajority
in that parish, and because the vote was
considerably larger than was eve CAS-
before in the parish, the Wings justify~
;ng the observation that "suspiciOr
baunts the guilty breast, jumped TO Inc
conclusion that the election was ifauou'
lent. The Republican shows that 'here
arc eleven hundred men entitled 10 vo'e'
who are actual residents of the parish
or p~Iaouemines, and thus takes away
tho round on which the charge of the
Wings was predicted. The Republican
slso publishes letters from Judge Leon,
al Inn, Claiborne, Esq, and John T.
I,rue. ESQ, fully repelli"g the charge
Of fraud as applied to the Democrats
bu, leaving a strong suspicion that mum,
hers of fraudulent Wing votes had been
poll ed in that parish -.

enlightened knowledge of disease pre-

enlightened knowledge of disease pre-
scented.
The great additions and improvements
which have been made in medical sci
ence, have in many instances, disrobed
the most fearful diseases Of all their ter
rors; as for instance in the discovery of
the efficacy of vaccination in the preven-
ton of smallpox, by the immortal DR..
Jenner, in the year l79S-by which
5000 lives are saved annually in the city
of London alone.
And by the unremitted exertions
which have been made by men of sci
ence in France, England, Germany, and
in u W country, in searching into
the nature, and causes of disease, and it,
effects, prevention and treatment, many
of the ills to which humanity is heir
have been removed, or materially mo-
difed.
These facts teach us in language moi
TO he mistaken, that health and longevi-
ty in a very great measure depend upon
a proper use of the means placed within
our reach, for their preservation; and up
on q stric! observance of the organic
laws of our existence. Duty and int
rest require that strict attention should
be given to these things by every com
muni,y; but l am not aware that any ne
cessity exists in this place for directing
a more particular attention to them thar
is already given, as from past observa
lion, our exemption from fatal disease
appears to be secured from natural ad
vantages, the source of which present
an interesting field for further enquiry

MEXICO n THE u. STATEs.-By
the last advices from Mexico, it seems
that some bad feeling exists between MIR.
Shannon, our Minister to Mexico, and
the Mexican Minister of Foreign At
fairs, growing out of correspondence
in relation to the annexation of Texas to
the U. States, and the contemplated In
vasiOn Of Texas by Mexico; Mr.. Shan
non protesting against the proposed in
vasion, and the Mexican Minister de-
nying the right of the U. States, to inter-
fere in the matter, and charging our 60
vernment and people with ~"falsehood
intrigue, and designs ofthe most dishon'
orable character" What it will even
tuate in it is impossible TO tell. The re-
suit flour Presidential election is known
10 be adverse to the wishes and expec'
t~ations of Mexico, and will proba'
bly, have the effect TO change her whole
policy in relation TO Texas. Fresh dis
turbances have broken out in the state
of Jalisco, the capital of which, is Gla'
dalajara. The Pieayune, from which
this news is taken, says: "Gen. Parede:
appears 10 be at the head of the move
ment, and the affair is evidently regard
ed by the press and by the officers ofth'
government, as extremely serious"

TFor the Radical.


Mn. EDlToR: In q late number of
your paper, | noticed an interesting ar
ticle, upon the health and mortality Of
wi town.
According TO your statement, but few
fowls enjoy agreater immunity from the
many ills of humanity, consequent upon
unhealthy influences, which a brief
comparison with other localities and
countries will enable us more fully to
appreciate.
Throughout the United States, accord
ing to the best estimates that have been
made, one person dies out of every for
" annually. H. larger cities andtowns,
the average rate of mortality is much
greater, bu; in country places something
less.
According 10 your statement, in the
article above referred TO, but eight per-
SOM have died in this place within the
last four years, and having a population
of 200, would constitute an average Of
only one in orc hundred, annually. But
what is still more remarkable, is the fac!
that not one of the above cases can be
referred 10 local influences. You have
with great truth and propriety remark
ed, that no community in the United
States (and would go farther, and en-
brace the habitable Globe enjoys a
. greater immunity from disease, or in
which human life is more secure.
In old countries, as in Britain for in
stance, where there is n more perma-
ZEN and fixed population, the births and
deaths are registered with d view to &C
curacy, and in the city of London, we
find by referring 10 the register of bap-
tism, that about one fourth of all the
children born, die within the first two
years of their existancc; and of the
whole population, about one in forty die
annually; and in the entire Kingdom,
one in flty-eight. In the city of Paris
in France, the annual deaths are about
one in thirty-two; and in the whole
Kingdom, one in forty. In Russia, the
average is one in forty-one. In Austria,
one in t~hirty-cight. And according TO
Humboldt, it is rated as one TO thirty
in South America.
The average of mortality, however,
was much greater IN all the above places
so osza2 years ago, and in some it was
dofta4fh hat it now is.
This great change has been effected
bHsskeater dissemination of a knowl-
edge Of the conditions of health, and the
principles upon which it depends a
mongsfthe great body of the people
and upon the vast amount of discoveries
and improvements which have been
made in the science of medicine, within
that time. The great influences of bad
air, improper diet, and insufficient cloth
ing, each within itself a prolific cause CT
disease and death, have become better
understood and appreciated.
1t is a fact well known, that the mos
terrific diseases in the form of Plague
and pestilence, which in tunes past, al
most depopulated whole cities and terri.
tories, originated from bad air, generated
in closely built streets and crowded al
leys; by a neglect of cleanliness and
proper ventilation; which arc now by at
%tention to these principles of health al
most unknown.
Many localities which were looked
upon as necessarily and irremediably I'M
healthy in former times, have been rem
dered entirely healthy, by a strict and
careful search into the causes, and by
the adoption of such means as a more
