DEATH OF EX-PRESIDENT POLK.

The tenor of previous advices as to his extreme
illness had prepared us for the melancholy duty
we had TO perform in announcing in a postscript
10 our last, the death Of JAMES K. POLK Ex-
President of the United States. lie died at his
residence-to which he had recently removed
in the city of Nashville. on Friday the 18th inst
at 7 minutes past A, p NJ, of an affection Of the
bowels, the malignant character of which nav
have been increased by the prevalence Of the
dread epidemic in Nashville, though his disease
does not seem TO have been the Cholera.
We leave to his political friends the grateful
task of eulogy. Whilst selfrespect and observ-
ance Of the ordinary charities of life forbid the ut
terance of harsh remark, in connection with one
over whom the grave has scarcely closed, it can
not be expected that we should do violence to
all our former estimates of the character of Mr..
Polk, las Statesman, by now INDUCING in obitua-
ry praise of his party principles and administra-
tive policy. The events of his Administration
are now matters of history We know not what
modification of views, time and reflection may
work-at present. our heretofore expressed opin-
ions remain unmodfed in the slightest degree.
In the private relations of life, it gives us pleas
ure to say. Mr.. Polk was irreproachable.
The Government has already directed the u
sual funeral honors to be paid to his memory, and
the people, without distinction Of party, will
spontaneously show, in their own way, their re-
spect for the Ex- President of the Republic.

of the Board Of Health of Philadelphia that the follow
ing the conclusions that have been arrived at after
patient investigation OF the whole subject.
The cholera is not contagious but depends upon q
peculiar morbfc poison in the atmosphere.
The cholera is manifested by diarrh0a, which is
the premonitory symptom, or first stage. To lie
down for few hours, with simple and appropriate
remedies may ward off an attack, and in this stage
the disease is durable but neglected, inudcous-
ly treated collapse, the second stage, follows the
premQnitory symptoms of darrhoea and in large
majority Of instances proves fatal.
Noplan Of treatment has been discovered by which
the rate of mortality in confirmed of the disease
can De lessened the rates cf death continue
to be to IL or g.. This is nearly the ratio Of al
great epidemics, as Plague and Yellow Fever.
In persons OF sound constitutions and good habits,
when the first warning symptoms of its attack are
timely attended to and PROPERLY treated, it be
prevented in 50 or 80 out Of every 100 cases"
We can only say with regard to remedy, that while
it is necessary to keep about the house. laudanum,
canphor and such articles Che policy is to send
for physician the appearance Of the first symp-
toms. Due attention should be paid to clothing and
diet, and all ezceinents and irregularities should be
