Robert Walsh in letter of Dec. 2sth, to the

interesting account of sitting of the French aca-

have been the closing one of an elaborate series

which he inferred that the disease is a poison from

other than that of the well ascertained primary
causes, which produce cholera. 1t spreads itself

attention and respect of ALL He puts to the con
science of each one who continues, either by whole
sale or retail, TO be engaged in the traffic of iotox
icating drinks or who in any way furnishes the
same for the use of his fellow men, the following
pointed questions Let every such one read at.
tentively, and then seriously ask bmself-"Is il
RIGHT ?"
lst. Can il be right for me to derive my living
from that which is spreading disease, poverty and
premature death through my neighborhood p
How would it be in any similar case? Would it be
right for me to derive my living from selling poison
Oh for propagating plague and leprosy around me
%. Can it be right for me to derive my living
from that which is debasing the minds and running
the souls of my neighbors? How would it be in
any other case? Would it be right for me to de-
rive my living from the sale of drug which pro-
duced misery madness; which excited the pas
sions and brutalized the mind and ruined the souls
Of my fellow men?
3d. Can it be right Tor me TO derive my living
from that which destroys forever the happiness Of
the domestic circle-which is filling the land with
women and children in condition far more deplor-
able than that of widows and orphans?
4th. Can it be right for me to derive my living
from that which is known to be the cause of nine.
tenths of all the crimes which are perpetrated
against society?
5th. Can it be right for me to derive my living
from that which accomplishes all these at once,
and which il does without ceasing?
9th. Do you say that you do not know that the
liquor which you are selling will produce these re-
suits? Do you not know that the nine hundred
and ninety-nine gallons produce these effects for
one which is used innocently? ask, then,
9TH. Would it be right for me to sell pois01l-an
the ground that there was one chance in thou
sand that the purchaser would not die of it?
9th. Do You say that you are not responsible for
the acts ofyour neighhors? Is this clearly so?--
Is not he who knowingly furnishes murder with
weapon, considered an accomplice? If these
things be So and that they are so who can dispute,
ask you, my respected fellow citizens what is to
be done Let me ask is not this trade altogether
wrong? Why, then, should we not altogether
abandon ii If any man think otherwise, and
choose to continue it, have but one word to say:
Ny brother when you order a cargo of ntoxicat-
ing drinks, think how much misery you are import
ing into the community. AS you store it up, think
how many curses you are heaping together against
yourself As you roll it out of your warehouse,
think how many families each cask will ruin Let
your thoughts then revert to your own ire-side,
your wife, and your little ones; look up to Him
who judgeth rghteously, and ask yourself my
brother, lsIT RIGHT?

Eg There is nothing of interest doing iu the
Ohio Legislature at this time. So much of the ap-
portionment law relates to the division of Ham
ilton county, has been repealed, by the aid of the
votes of the Free Solers, not on the ground of its
being unconstitutional, however, as is asserted by
our friend around the corner, but with the object
of removing the principal cause of the difficulty in
organizing the Legislature In the Senate, the com
mittee on privileges and elections, has reported in
favor of Broadwell to a seat in that body, and he
will probably be admitted during the next week.

We have received from the publisher, month
ly periodical of the above title, just issued at De-
troit, Michigan. 1t contains articles from the most
able writers of the West, and among other contri-
butors we notice the name of Lewis Cass, who
gives history of "Fhe early settlement of the
West" which alone is well worth the money asked
for the Magazine. Its typographical appearance
is neat and well executed and its editorial depart
ment displays talent equal to the undertaking
The editor promises that the Miscellany "shall
maintain high literary standing, rather than at,
:empt to suit the morbid and vicious tastes of those
who can read nothing but that which excites the
passions which promise, if carried fully into effect
must secure him scores of subscribers.

publication of Mr. Clay's resolutions they ap-
peared in the Freeman of last week In the 9th
resolution offered by him, he was made to say
"That it is inexpedent 70 prohibit within the Dis
trict, the slave trade" &c. 1t should read "That
it is expedent to prohibit within the District, the
slave trade, &c. Next week we shall publish the
remarks of Mr.. Clay on his resolutions.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ExPLosIoN.-
About forty dead bodies have been recovered from
the ruins of the explosion, and the workmen are
still busily engaged in removing the rubish. The
examination in relation to the boiler and other cir
eumstances attending the explosion, will be made
on Friday. The Coroner charged the witnesses
that they were bound to investigate this matter
without fear. That it was public matter, and
that private feelings should be laid aside. A com
mittee has been appointed to receive subscriptions
for the benefit of the sufferers by the calamity.
