Letter from Joshua Leavitt.
ToTHE MEMBERS OF THE LIBERTY PARTY INTHE
UNITED STATES

ToTHE MEMBERS OF THE LIBERTY PARTY IN THE
UNITED STATES
Friends and FellOa0-La5Orers in a Glorious
Cause Before this letter meets your eyes, you
will have learned the result of the Convention
held at Buffalo on the 9th inst At a meeting Of
our BRETHREN held yesterday morning in that cit.
V, it was voted that a committee be appointed to
give you an account of the matter, describe the
steps by which we have been led along thus far,
and express to you our unanimous conviction
that the result is all right, and our high gratca
ton with ii, as the very best thing that could
have been done for the cause which we all have
so much at heart 1t is not only as God would
have it, but his hand and his love have been too
conspicuousIy displayed in bringing it to pass, to
admit of doubt that he has done it in mercy, for
the salvation of our beloved country.
The gentlemen named for this service, were
Joshua Leavitt, of Mass, Samuel Lewis, of Ohio,
Martin Mitchell, of N. York, S. S. Harding, of
la, Erastus Hussey, of Mich, Lawrence Brain
erd, of VT, VIM. H. Burleigh, of Conn.,, |, Cod
ding, of Wisconsin, and Owen Loveioy, of ILL.,
Most of these gentlemen were seen, and not only
desired that should be their amenuensls, but
consented that should attach their signatures 10
whatever should prepare, rs we were to be at
once too widely scattered to allow of any further
conference, even by letter, without defeating our
object by delay Having thus shown that do
not thrust myself forward unauthorized, in thus
addressing you, prefer for greater freedom, to-
speak in the first person, SO that they shall stand
vouchers for the trust undertaken, and alone
may be responsible for the manner of its perfor-
nance, And being expectedly detained for few
hours in the city of Rochester, ! thought it best
to lose no time in executing the duty, l felt,
moreover, that it was not inappropriate to write
in the place where the ground was first broken
for our organization, in September, 1889, and
after refreshing my spirit by visit to the grave

At the request of the President Mr.. Chase of o.,
discharged the duties of the chair.
On motion of Mr.. Noble of the District of Column
bia Benjamin F. Butler, Joseph J.. White and s. P.
Chase, were appointed committee to apprise the
candidates of their nomination. and to solicit their
ceptance of the same.
A delegate from Pennsylvania then made motion
that John Van Buren, be requested to take the stump
for the nominees of this convention, which unani
mously adopted.
Joseph L. White of N. Y, was then called for. He
took the stand and addressed the convention with great
ability
At the call Of the convention Mr. Field was request
ed 10 speak, but declined, saying it too late He
would add however, in the language of the noblest of
English poets;
| "Now is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer by the son of York,
And all the clouds that lowered upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried"
He would add further before moving an ad lourn-
ment that they had that day laid their platform and
raised ther Standard and respecting it, he would re-
peat the words Of one of our own poets
Forever float that standard sheet,
Where breathes the foe, but to fall before US;
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner waving DER us.
Saying this, he moved an adjournment, which was
carried.

and its deliberations opened with prayer by the Rev.

Mr. BRIsGs of Ohio came to the stand at the call of

multitude TO come up here from Maine TO the banks of

out the whole North, East and West, and we SHALL to-

He had no preference for men. All this he would

all upon one common platform. We had not come up
here to discuss the question Of tariff, Of bank, OIL
any such things these But to speak and to act fol
free soil--iree speech-and free negroes, too. The
fires are burning brightly in Ohio and Throughout
Indiana which will consume the last remnant of slave
ry and bake the dough faces hard that you coult
not cut them with bowie knife. Ifthere were any
friends of Gen. Cass present he would advise them t
retire to some cool shade and read his letter on intern
al improvements to the Chicago Convention. And
there were any who proposed to vote for Gen. Tayo
they should read all his letters, where he crosses an

lis CHoLErA.-A London letter Of August
Ia, published in the National Inlelligsacer,
sayE
The cholera is exciting much attention in
this country. Ii Is coming irightiully near to
cur shores, for 1T has advanced 10 Brrlin. Ii
seems To b. making its periodical revolutions
round the globe, aud is aJvan cling an ascer-
tanned rate of from IF cen 10 eighteen miles q
day. Ill appears TO be following. as heretofore.
the lines oI commercial communication; but
tiI-re are numrrable exceptions To the doc
trine that IL Is spread by comtagion. III seems
TO jump, rather ihan 10 be carri,d, from place
to place, and TO be capricious in its movements
selecting some localities aud stunning others.
The difficulty of reconciling its progress with
that OF ordinary Communication has led to the
superstition that il is generated BY poison
Gus vaPor forced from the bowels Uf the earth.
Some persons suppose that the poatoe rot and
the cholera have the same cause. DR.. Haw
thorne, a physician Of Liverpool, has published
an elaborate pamphlet upon the ulject, and
Is one of those who suPposes that The disease
Is caused BY specific agent forced from the
bowels of The earth by subterraneous commo-
tIOu.
One reason for this opinion is, that it is I'M
influenced either by seasoO,0c BY any other
(pelCepuOie) external CAUSE This, IN TACT,
constitutes its alarming mysrery. Unfortu-
nately, we have not discovered either its cause
or It's cure. DR.. Hawthorne recommends
horizontal posture of the body; opium, cordial
sIlmulanls, aud persplraiions. Cholera seems
a disease of society. Ii attacks townsa and gath
erings of men ratherthan the sporadic jewellers
III the wilderness, or the smaller congregations
of persons in villages and hamlets.
From all that we have read and thought up
on the subject, we should be inclined TO JOIN
in the opinion that abundance of food, tenn
perate and cheerful lives, cleanliness, (which
Is next 10 godliness, free air and the light OF
the sun, nOurlshment, enjoyment, and virtue,
are amongst the best preventives of cholera. q
This disease seems to offer additional testimo-
ny against that humbled and degraded portion
of the masses of the people which is thought
by some persons TO be the order of nature.
