WHO are AERAD~ToFRktSF THE
PEOPLE.

The seaseless' charge that the new Con-
stitution 10 based upon the principle that the
neonie cannot be trusted, is made by the
Esw Era. and reiterated by its followers
throughout the State. When did the New
Era become the champion of the people? A
strange revolution must have takeu place,
when democrats eyince. a want of conf
denc. in the people, and those who like the
Nav Era. have been so long battling for the
privileges Of the aristocracy, become de-
tenders of the peoples rights. May we not
find an explanation of this seeming change?
Perhaps tho Editor ofthsN New Era may not
know who are the people. We have known
politicians who regarded the Legislature as the
peopIe. 1t may be that this. is ~thetopinion
of the New Era. The constitution provides
that "the legislature shall not create a debt
to exceed twenty five thousand dollars ex-
cept in case Of war, Instruction, and in
vasion-but the legislature may propose a
debt for any specified purpose, which shall
be submitted to a direct vote IF the people
and if approved by a majority of the quail
fed voters voting on the proposition, itshall
be of full force and effect" Is this a dis
trust of the people? We admit that it e.
vinces an unwillinghess topermit the legis-
lature to bring bankruptcy and ruin upon
the State-but the people can incur any
debt they please. They who have the debt
to pay, alone have the power to incur it
instead of being prohibited, the people a
lone can create a debt except in case Of e.
mergencies, wlenthey would not have time
to act. How absurd then the charge.
But we say the New Era is unwilling to
trust the people. in his paper Of the 18th
inst. the Editor says, "the people will not
vote for specific measures-they will vote
sfor men, but hundreds and thousands will
vote for measures" What do the people
think of this assertion? For the demo-
Gratis we can answer: their motto is "meas-
ures and not men," What say the Wings
of Missouri? Are you as Mr.. Campbell
ksays the tame slaves of men-indifferent to
the measures proposed for your government?
is this confidihg in you3 There was never

By the arrival of the Ocean Wave this morn
ing, we are in possession of later news from the
South. The news was brought to St. Louis by
theJ. M. White, in 8 days IL hours from New
Orleans. Upon the arrival of the White at st.
Louis, the Ocean Wave dropped ''along side' of
her and receiued several passengers, after which
she Immediately departed for Keokuk. The
Ocean Waves passengers that she took from the
White brought up New Orleans papers Ofthe 9th
inst, from which we learn that there has been
an attack made on Gen. Taylor at Metamorus,
and that two detachments of his forces have
been completely cut off. He was said to be sur
by a force of 10000 .Mexicans. We had
not time to gather the particulars, though we be-

Il A SURGICAL MIRAcLg.-This Is
scarcely TOO emphatic term to use IN
relation TO a recent discovery by an
Italian physician, Seignor Brocchleu,
Of which an account was gwen IN ihe
French paper of December 80. Mr..
| Gaillardet, in a concluding article upon
he things he saw and heard 10 his late
visit to Europe, declared that he was
present at certain experiments before II
number of medical men, with the "wa-
Ter" or liquid Of Signor Brocchler', to
l determine its alleged power of stopping
arerial hemorrhage. Every body knows
that when nm artery is severed or wound
ed the injury is fatal unless the How os
blood can be quickly stopped, and that
he exprdirnts of surgery TO this end are
! difficult aud by no Teans certain. The
Immense importance OF the discovery,
therefore, may be readily appreciated
Mr.. GaiIardet declared that in his
presence the carotid arteries OF two
sheep were cut one was Immediately
treated after the known methods, while
to the other was applied II pledget oi
lint stepped IN The liquid OF DIR. Bror-
chieri The former died the latter III
Twenty inmates WAS completely resior-
ed and when sci at Liberty began TO
eat with its usual eedom, running and
| Jumping as when in perfect health. On
! examination OF the wound not any trace
Of blood was discoverable, nor even
| cica,rix, but the artery itself appeared to
| be restored Mr.. Gallardet says that IT
| Is described ms operating upon the librn
! the blood, and thus producing new
/ organization of the tissue. The water
| has been used in the French slaughter
| houses, where serious wounds are con
| >tan,ly occurring from acciden, or care
lessness, and of these eleven hundred

| cured in twenty minutes by the applca-
| tion of the fluid. General Preval, OF
the French cavalry, has caused depos-

/ In ro-day's paper MIR. GalIardet pub
! fishes letter from medical corcspnn-
dent, who, while willing to concede some
! value TO DR.. BrocchIerl's discovery, en-
! presses his doubts about the reproduc-
tion of the artery. To his correspon-
dent Mr.. Galllardel replies that when a
man sees he believes, and quotes an ar
tlce from the Courier Francois, giving
a still more remarkable account Of the
effects produced by DR.. Brocchieri's in
yention, from the pen of Nj. Blanqnl,
an eminent French physician.
