Bnlacer and Eugene Aran. A startling an.
nouncement is made by Sir Edward Bulwer Lyt.
ton, in his preface TO the present edition of ecu
gene Aram," the last volume completed of the
beautiful edition of his works now publishing bv
Messrs Chapman & Hall. The announcement
will hencetorth coB6rm the fame acquired bv
this noble romance, and will materially tend 10
elevate the already noble and lofty character of
Eugene Aram. Says the author-"On going
with maturer Judgment over all the evidences on
which Aram was condemned. | have conyinc.
ed myself, that although an accompIice in the
robbery of Clarke, he was free both from the pre
meditated design, and the actual deed ofmurder. !"
50 thorough is the conviction OF Sir Edward on
this point, and so fully has that conviction been
corroborated, that he says further on-"Finding
my convictions, that in the murder itself he had
no s ARE, borne out by the opinion of many emf.
nent lawyers, by whom have heard the subject
discussed, have accordingly so shaped his con-
fession to Walter" This will be grateful news
to those who, like ourselves, regard eugene
Aram" as one Of the best, aud certainly as one of
the most moral OF his productions.

THE CHOLERA.

DR.. S. Woodward, publishes in the Hamp-
shire Gazette, the following suggestions in regard
to the cholera:-
-" 1t certainly is the right, and it may be the
duty OF medical men, to give their views to the
public, on the subject OF the cholera.
The publication, in the Newspapers, of the
many nfalible remedies and prevenutves fthiS
dreadful disease, is calculated to misead the pub
lie mind from the true ground oil safety end, tits
TO be feared, increase the disease and its fatality
wherever it prevails.
In the opinion of the writer, Brandy and W alter,
Sulpher and Charcoal Laudanum and Camphor,
Stevens Specific and Birds Specific and all
other drugs and medicines, are useless, as pre-
ventives of cholera.
While regularity all the habits OF life; simplic-
ity OF diet, moderate occupation OF the body and
mind, regular sleep, avoiding excitement and a.
larm, and strict temperance, will be found the
safest and most reliable prevendves, whether
the disease be far off or near by whether " e are
exposed to it directly or only feel the influence
OF common predisposition. All intoxicating drinks
| are injurious, and tobacco, which is never bene-
fetal, but always detrimental to health, should
be abandoned, and never be resumed.
AS to medicine, the rule should be uniform
and nrGridble.
The WELL should use none at all.
The INDIsPosED should at once be careful,
abstinent and quiet; avoid fatigue and alarm, but
take no drugs.
The SICK should consult the best physicians,
and attend carefully to their prescriptions, till
quite recovered, and particularly avoid all causes
OF relapse. Many die everywhere, it prevails in
consequence of imprudence, alter the danger is
once past, producing relapse.
Cholera will doubtless continue TO spread and
prevail to some extent in almost every village on
the great thorrug htares. Let none spend idle
time in Analysing the atmosphere in search of
ozone, or suffer PANIC to increace the predispo-
sition to the disease, the danger of attack
Be temperate in all things, and let no induce
ments influence any TO swallow drugs as preven-
tives, or rely on quack medicines or specifics
for cure. S. B WOODWARD

COALITIONS. While we should, above all
things political, like to see the great Democrat
ic party take the right ground, we hope they
will not do it until they get ready, or until they
shall be fully prepared to STICK TO 1T. If, for
the purpose of electing here and there Con-
gresham, or Governor, they shall temporarily
adopt Free Soil principles, and il, when the spois
look tempting, portion of them shall 20 back to
their idols, compromise and non Intervention, the
cause of Free Soil will be worse off for their COM
partnership. We therefore do not profess to be
anxious tor what are called coalitions, at this
time. II they can be placed upon tide right basis,
and have an aspect OF permanency, we shall glad
ly see them take place. But we are far more de-
sirous to disseminate the principles OF Freedom,
without obstruction, so as to pave the way for
grand revolution in 1852, which shall restore the
Government TO its legitimate purpose, the secur.
ity OF Liberty to the people.

trunk was almost straight, its bark smooth
