Hon. VIM. !. Brown.

1t will be seen by reference to another column that
the fsmily of Mr.. Brown has been visited by sickness
and death. lie has in consequence, been prevented
from attending some Of his appointments. as well az
from ~mingling as freely with his fellow-citizens of The
several counties generally as it was his desire and
expectation to do. This sad bereRement, which con
only BY appreciated by parents who hive been called
upon to lar down their children in the grave, has
caused him to neglect the canvass iu such an extent as
TO require this explanation 10 his friends and tie Peo-
Pile. 1t would be exceedingly ungenerous and base
in those who are endeavoring to compass Mr. Browns
defeat, to take advantage Of this dispenSation Of Prov
idence in put false stories in circulation, which he
can neither hive time to hear of or counieract, aud Ne
hope no such disrcputable course will be rcSorled TO
by our opponents. Is q politician and a democrat,
Mr.. Brown is well known to the people Of this dis
trict: what he has been in times past he is now. II
he was worthy of the enthusiastic support of the DEM
ocratic party in past contests with The common enemy
be is so still. He can afford to throw himself therefore
upon the generosity of his friends and the party, not
doubling that he will be triumphantly sustained.

AN INCIDENT OF THE CHoLERA.-We are credibly
informed that at Columbus, Ia, where the Cholera
has been very fatal, n lady about fifty years of age,
was seized with cholera on Saturday morning last.
and died, as was supposed, about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon.
She had had administered to her calomel and
opium.
In the evening her son-in-law was attacked by the
same disease, and was lying and being treated for it
in the same room where the old lady was laid out in
the habilimenis of death. About daylight on Sunday
morning the old lady rose up and desired to know what
oil the excitement was about, and if she hadn't slept
a long while.
She and her son-in-law are now doing well.-Cin.
Eng.
We learn through a gentleman from Columbus,
that the Enquirer is nearly, but not altogether cor
rectly informed in the above case. The woman came
to life as represented, but IL hours afterwards actu-
ally died. We are told. that she in the first place
took ONE quack nostrum, not calomel aud opium !;
but nearly all the quack cholera specifics of course
contain opium, and generally c~amphor, and are worse
than cholera itself. That's our opinion, and we sup
pose it's not agin the hU for US to entertain it. If
others choose to differ from US, and swallow the medi-
cine instead of our opinion, they are at liberty to
do so.

THE CHoLERA.-We are rejoiced 10 be able to re-
port a very decided decrease of cholera both ut Gin
cinnati and St. Louis, the two places where it has
ragged with the most fearful fatality.
The st. Louis Union of the 10Th says
1.-THE returns for the four first days of the present
week, beginning with Sunday, present a smaller list
of deaths than for three or four weeks past. The
number of interments on Sunday were 50, Monday
81, Tuesday 81, Wednesday so. This is a falling
off of abou. half from the greatest fatality of the
cholera, and may be regarded as a~fording fair
grounds of anticipation that it will be henceforth on
the decline"
At Cincinnati, on the 21st, the deaths were sc; on
the 22d, 80. This is a falling off of about one half,
and is very encouraging.
The Richmond, Ind. Jeffersonian reports several
additional cases and deaths in that town. The fol-
lowing is from the Jefersonian
CHOLERA IN THE CoUNTRY.-We hear Of the pre-
valence of this disease in different parts of the sur
rounding country. In the southern part of Randolph
county, 4 miles south of Newport it is very severe.
Eight or ten persons have died in that neighborhood
within the last week. In the neighborhood of Will
l~iamsburg and Economy there have been several
deaths. We have also heard of several other deaths
In the vicinity Of Boston. Their names as far as we
have been able to learn are, Jos. Stanley, Nicholas
Druly, and Harriet Stout.

WING EREoR.-There is no greater error made
than when some papers say that Taylor is President
of the people," 1t is error all over. and nothing
else. He is a great minority President, and nothing
more. 1t should be kept before the people. that $780,
600 more votes wer cast for Cass and Van Buren, than
for Taylor-who was elected simply by the plurality
rule of counting. Only one New England State.
Rhode Island, cast a majority for General Taylor.
the other five States cast majorities against him.
Only one section of the country, the Southwestern
States, cast a majority for Taylor-the other four
great sections of country gave large m%ajorlties
against him, These facts cannot be denied. and
they should not be forgotten. They should OCCASION
ally be presented, 10 stop all papers from calling
Taylor .'tbe President of the people," Il is true.
that through sheer accident he IS President, and
should be so viewed, as long as he ful6ls the pledges
made by himself aud friends before election. But
whenever he violates those recorded promises, or al

reference be made to his accidental election, and his
double dealing and deceptive course.-NeT Haren

COLLECTION OF PETERS PENcE.-Yesterday at the
Roman Catholic churches throughout the city and sub
urbs, very large sums were collected for the relief of
Pope Plus TX. At Saint Peters Church, Barclay
street, the handsome sum of $50 was received; at
Saint James's Church, James street, over $500 were
taken, and the sums at oil the other churches were
proportionnbly large. Surprising the Roman Catho-
lie churches of New York, Jersey City, Brooklyn,
and Willidnsburgh TO be twenty-five, (and that is
about the NUMBER and the receipts to average $3.50
at each, the total realized would be 6,200. The wri-
ter of city intelligence took every pains to ascertain
the motives and feelings of the donors of Peters
pence yesterday, and he must do them the justice to
say that every one of them repudiated the idea of
giving Pic Nino a cent, except for the purpose of his
personal support at Gaeta as an exile and a wander
err, deprived of his usual means of living.-NeU York
Tribune.

oTThe Louisville Courier. a wing paper, on the
morning of the Goth, put forth the following incendi-
airy paragraph:
ave received last night a letter from Frankfort
which we shall endeavor to find room for tomorrow.
1t contains a grave and serious charge or insinuaiioa
ogains three gentlemen of this city, who heretcfoie
have been considered eminently espectable-Messrs.
Chapman Coleman, Judge Nichols and Rev. w. l..
Breckenridge. Fer our part we do not believe they
were concerned in the late outrageous attempt to
murder Mr.. lIerriweather."
On the next morning the letter referred to was
published in the Courier. but there was nothing in it
to Justify or in the least excuse the infamous use OF
the respectable names thus parsded before the public.
What words of condemnation could be too strong I ex-
press the public indignation against a newspaper
which, for the mere qualification Of having its columns
sought after for a single day, would thus wantonly
throw such a suspicion upon men of pure lives and
irreproachable character?

Iowa.

The Democratic State Convention recently held in
Iowa, adopted some caustic and powerful resolutions
in regard TO General Taylor and his appointments.
They hit the nail upon the head, and are as follows
Resolved, That the administration of Gen. Taylor, so far
as 1t has proceeded upon its mission, has unblushingly falsi-
fed every promise, and grossly violated every pledge, given
before the election by its nominal chief; and that a party
which can 60 before the county upon one set OF issues, and
Immediately after its installation into power, enter upon The
practice Of another set, is more than ever deserving of the
re~probsiion Of The world, and Of the continued and uncom-
promising hostility Of the democratic party.
Resolved, That General Taylor, for the pal, which he has
played, or has been made 10 play, in this ~disgTaceful game OF
deception, has displayed a want Of honest principle, or a
weakness OF mind and character, which equally disQualfy
him for The place he holds, and fully justiiies the worst pie
dictions ever made against his fitness for The Presidency, and
that although once we may have admired the sOldier in the
tented field, we are now reluctantly brought TO condemn and
TO T~epudiate the CIPHER in the cabinet OF the country.
Resolved, That The removals in this State have been made
without cause and in direct violation Of the professions OF
Gen. Taylor before The election and that the appointments
which have followed have been made in equal violation Of
the same professions.
Resolved, That the appointment Of a bureau officer from
this State, in the person Of Frrz Henry WARREN, is an act
deserving the censure and undisguised condemnation which
il is daily receiving from . large majority of the wings OF
Iowa and that his retention in Office, 10 the face OF these
open and emphatic expressions of public disgust. is well cal
cuated to prepare the mind OF every Que to be surprised at
nothing. in the way Of moral ~iurpitude, which may mark
the future character of General Taylor's administration.
This is the way for Democratic freemen to speak.

JOHN c. CALHoUN.-Our eaders ae aware that
Mr.. Calhoun has caused to be published in a South
Carolina paper what he is pleased to call an answer
to Col. Benton's Jefferson City speech on the slavery
question. We have only received q brief telegraph
ic summary of the address, which we give as follows:
Mr.. Calhoun begins with declaring Mr.. Benton I'M
worthy of notice, and personally he Calhoun has
never thought it worth while to raise him to the Dig
nifty of a rival, nor considered it important whether
he was put down or not; but as Benton strikes at the
Southern cause through him, Calhoun he feels it
his duty to repel his attacks. He says "Benton's eff
fort appears to prove him ~unfaithful TO the Southern
cause, and as aiding the Free-soilists and Abolition
lists. This they will understand, and rejoice at his
speech, as helping to weaken Southern confidence in
me. IL is not the first time a deserter has had the as
surance to denounce those who are faithful" He
calhoun denies being favorable to disunion, and
says that be was always favorable to compromise, but
that Northern fanatics prevented it. He claims the
merit for voting for Clnyton's compromise, and taunis
Benton as the cause of its rejection. He denies being
the author of the Missouri Compromises, which he
says was Henry Clay's. and argues the difference be.
tween that and the Proviso charge against him Of
having, in Mr.. Monroe's Cabinet. sustained the pow
err to restrict Slavery in the Territory. He denies
in fact, every assertion made by Mr.. Benton in his adj
dress, and charges that Benton offered a proposition
to abolish Slavery in one-half of Texas, so as to hen
in the South by surrounding it by abolitionists. The
whole address is bitter, and clothed in the strongest
language.
This speech Will attract much attention in the polit
ical world, though it will utterly fail to arrest the ten
dency of the times ir favor of Benton and Free Soil

AID TO TIE PoPE.- In compliance with inc decree
of the Roman Catholic Council of Baltimore, a COL
lection WINS taken up in the several Catholic churches
in this city yesterday, in aid of Pope Plus. In te
Cathedral. high mass was chanted, but no sermon
was preached. Rev. Mr.. O'Brien read a text from
the Scripture, end then a long letter from Bishop Fitz-
patrick, in which a call was made upon the faithful
of the church to contribute their mite TO the support
of the exiled Pontiff and successor Of St. Peter. The
letter was a pious appeal TO the congregation, and
made no allusion 10 the political events which have
taken place al Rome, and which induced the Pope 10
quit that city. After the reading of the letter, the
collection was taken up, but what the sum was we
could not learn. As there is some doubt in the minds
of many good Catholics as 10 the necessities of his
Holiness, we rather think the amount will not far ex-
coed an ordinary Sunday collection.-BOsto COu-

SINGULAR CIRcUMsTAHrIAL EvIDENcE.-Our read
ers will doubtless remember an account Of a shocking
murder, which appeared in our columns a few weeks
ago, as having been recently perpetrated in the cOun-
iy of Putnam. Mr.. David Ross, q very wealthy and
prominent citizen of that county, was returning from
his factory on the Oconee river, TO his family resi-
dence, about half n mile or three quarters distant, at
8 O'Clock on a dark night. While passing through
the swamp on foot and alone, he was SHOT dead with
n double barrel gun, in the hands Of some person un-
known. One of the charges took effect in the head,
and the other in the body of the deceased. The as
sassin stood so near as TO burn his victim with the
powder. The coroner's jury, after n patient and la
borious investigation, rendered a verdict, charging u
son of MIR. Ross with the murder. We learn from a
citizen of Putnam, that one of the circumstances
which led to this conclusion, was the examination of
one of the wads with vhich the gun was loaded. 1t
appeared in evidence that The deceased was the only
subscriber to the Macon Telegraph in his neighbour
hood and upon close examination, IT was discovered
that one of the wads was composed of n piece torn
from that papes. And we learn from another source,
that the number of the paper from which the wad was
torn wac found in a shoi-bag which had been used by
young Ross. on the same day the murder was COM
United. The piece was compared, and fitted so COM
plete is to satisfy the jury that the wad bad been Ia
ken from the same paper found in the ~shot-bag. This,
we understand, was one of the strongest circumstan-
ces that settled suspicion on The young man.-DaltOn

OF The Louisville Courier is bammering away on
malaria yet. Malaria is its hobby, its forte, its one
idea. All diseases, cholera inclusive, arise from ma
laria. it would have us believe. The editor ought to
know, for he says
"There is not a place on the face of the earth,
where cholera has prevailed, and of which a history has
been written, that we have not thoroughly scrutiEized
Every thing in the way of topography, meteorology
and physical geography in oil its details that bore on
the subject in any way. was fully explored, and there
is not a truth in geometry, or any other exact science,
more susceptible of demonstration, than the malaris
origin of cholera is. There is no place on earth
where cholera has appeared, that was not a malaria
spot at the time Of the appearance of cholera. II
these are not indisputable truths, there is not one on
EARTH"
There now, you have it, in black and white; and
were it not for the fact that doctors differ" the
question might be regarded as settled. Go it, Hal
