AT 10 clock this morning the passen.
gers train from the West, in coming into
the depot, became unmanagsable and it
was impossible to stop the train by the

trunks thrown twenty feet in the air -
There were no persons in the first class
cars injured. Physicians have just arrived;
all is excitement.

C. The whig papers seem TO be highly
pleased That Greedy, of the New York
Tribune, has spoken out upon the subject
of G en-. Taylor;s anxiety TO extend the de-
minion of slavery, and what Greely says
is caught up by the whig papers with raw
enous avidty and displayed in glaring cap
ais as perfect settler upon the whole mat
ter in controversy. Here's what Greedy
says:
"The averment that the present admin
istration favors the Extension of Slavery
into the newly acquired Territories, as sus-
tanned by no fact, and is comtraaicted by
many" "rhat single act of
the New Administration has been impell-
ed by a desire to extend the domain of Sla-
very. we have seen no reason to believe
and do not believe! The Presidents plain
ly anxious SO to discharge his duty as 70
merit the appreciation of the whole Amer
ican People, and thus far has done we'll.
This is the kind of testimony upon which
whiggery relies to disprove the charge pre-
ferred against Gen. Taylor, of using his
personal influence to procure the adoption
of Walkers amendment to the. Territorial
bill. The testimony of some half dozen
men who declare positively that Gen.
Taylor ldia,ase, suea aaaeaee, is iattempt.
ed to be OVERCOME u theSdeclarotion Of
about the same number, who declare that
they do not beliere it! Greely is the last
Of the list of unbelievers. Having at the
eleventh hour, gone over to the support Of
the candidate of the ''slaughter house" con.
vention, and attempted to betray the Free
Soil party into the hands of the slave par
ty and to the support Of the prince ofslave.
holders by the influence Of his name and
the power Of his eloquence, he now at.
.empts to blind the eyes Of the people to the
grand deception, by declaring that the
charge preferred against the administra.
ton ssis sustained by no fact, and is con-
tradicted by many" .
It is amusing to witness the twistings
and turnings of whisgery to escape the
charge. In the first place they vehement
ly attack the character Of Mr.. Giddings,
who preferred the charge, claiming that
he was not entitled TO credit, because he
had swinded the Treasury out of large
sum in the shape of extra milage. Find
ing, however, that the charge was backed
by the proof, they took another tack, ane
Gen, Crowell-who was not only guilty o
the charge preferred against Mr.. Gidd'ngs
of robbing the public Treasury, but hoe
violated his pledges to the Free Soil party
after having called God to witness his tidel
ity to them, was brought out to declare tina
he did not beliere the charge against the
administration. As the evidence accumu
mulated to substantiate the charge, the un
believing witnesses increased, until final
ly Greely threw the weight Of his testimo
ny into the scale, and that tipped the beam
Verify, the wings must believe that by the
mouths of two or three witnesses all things
shall be established, no matter what the
character of the witnesses or the nature o.
their testimony.

Coy. Brown, of Tennessee, giving his O.
pinion that Gen. Taylor will veto the
PrOyiSO.


Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, who is now
stumping the State as the Taylor Wing
candidate for reelection, during late
speech in Lewisbugh, declared as his set
tied belief, that Gen. Taylor would veto
the Wilmot Proviso, if passed by Congress.
Gov. Brown is high in the confidence of
the Administration, and no doubt speaks
from the book What says Truman Smith
to this? after having franked documents to
the South branding Gen. Cass as an s'Abo.
litionist of the straightcst Sect" while to
the North he franked documents declaring
Gen. Taylor on the slavery question to be
all that the Northern swing of whiggery
wished him to be.-Statssman.
There is truly an admirable harmony OF
sentiment in the ranks Of whiggery. The
leaders of the party in the North claim
that opposition to the veto power is one of
the fundamental articles in the whig creed,
and they declared positively before the e.
lection OF Gen. Taylor that he would not
exercise that power to defeat the Proviso.
Now here is one high in authority in the
ranks of whiggery, candidate for Cover
nor, who denies the faith, and asserts his
belief that Gen. Taylor will exercise the
veto power upon that very question which
the whig leaders north declared he would
sanction. 1t is difficult to find out what is
whig doctrine. At ttssNerth opposition 10
the veto power; at the South the doctrine
is repudiated. In one locality they are in
favor of National Bank in another op.
posed to it; here for protective tariff, there
for revenue duties only. But all these
diversit;es Of doctrine combine in con-
test for the spoils of Office. and in that one
thing they are agreed, if in nothing else.

GOlera-SulpAur.

AAVAOA~ SuAPHuAs
A writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer
cites the following interesting facts, as show
ing the influence Of Sulphur as preventa-
tive of Cholera;
"It is remarkable fact, well authenti-
Gated, that there has never been a single
case of cholera in the vicinity of chalyheate
springs, or those pregnated in the least de.
gree with sulphur. No case of cholera has
ever occurred at BAllstown, Saratoga, Cliff
on, or Avon, the waters of which have a
powerful tincture of sui phur, particularly
those of Clifton. These springs, better
known in New York as Sulphur Springs,
are remarkable for their healthful proper
ties, although to many who cannot accom-
modate their olfaetory nerves to the smell of
birthstone, the Sulphur Springs are some
what offensive. Located in one of the rich
est c.unties of New York (Ontario) it has
long been resort for invalids, and Justly
popular for their healthful influence. Long
before one arrives at the Springs, by rail-
road or otherwise, they are apprised of
their approach more powerfully through
the sense of smelling than any other.-
There was never case of cholera within
twenty miles of Clifton Springs, and per-
haps this may be one of the known tests af
DR.. Birds theory of the use of sulphur"
A correspondent of the York Tribune
says:
"During the prevalence of this distem-
per in '32, lived in Birmingham Eng
land, where more sulphuric acid is made
and used than any other place, perhaps in
the world; and, though all the towns and
villages for many miles around were severe
ly afflicted, the disease never reached Bir-
mingham except in one instance of an aged
female, and nearly all of the physicians
there denied that as being cholera"
