THE DYsENTERY.-This disease is now pre-.
yang in this city, and in many parts of the State
to very great extent, and is of a most malig-
nant type. The following communication, from
the pen of respectable physician attached to
the United States navy, may not be out OF place
at this time:
sAs the dysentery which is now prevailing is
of malignant type, it may be of some importance
to call the attention of medical men to the bene-
fetal influence of sulphate of quinia in this dis
ease. In AT the writer of this used it in African
dysentery, and in the last year in dysentery Dor.

Conceiving there was some analogy between
intertropcal fever and dysentery, he believed
that quinine might be used with rs much efficacy
in the one as in the other and the result, Sc
far as his experience went, induced him to con-
sider qitinine a most important Dledicins IN tht

II may act by destroying morbid state of the

its anti-febric and ant-periotic power. Does il
not act by decomposing the deleterious agency
(whatever il may be) which, finding its way into
the circulation, engenders that combination oI
febrile action with intestinal Inflammation, which
is termed dysentery?

were not discarded. From to 10 grains oil

Total number Of slaves.

Since the year l776, seven Of the above origi.
nal members of the confederacy have affe ted

chusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and
Connecticut. The history Of these States war.

pie against slavery, but because Of their being
unsuited for the duties that the. enterprise OF
that region required, rs developements then made
showed that the production Of the great staples
Of the United States was impossible in that eli
mate.
We have no doubt that the very men who
first proposed IFS abolition were guilty-accord-

that awful crime, trafficing in negroes, rs 1t is
scarcely reasonable to suppose that their philan-

they now serve. Such facts as the above must
convince all that-it IL envy rather than real phi

Many other facts suggest themselves at this

would observe, however, that the demand
for three.cent pieces Is so general and so large,
that the postmasters must endeavor to be as
moderate as possible in their calls until arrange.

rapid coinage Of them.
The public repositories Mt the following
places, viz, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Wash

piled with this coin, and those postmasters 10
their respective vicinities may perhaps find il
more convenient to obtain supply from them.
The branch mint at New Orleans has also
commenced che coinage Of these pieces, but as
yet no arrangement has been made for sending
them from thence TO distant points, but they will
be issued TO any public officers who may desire
them in exchange for other American coin, and
the places situated on the western waters can,

A correspondent of the New Orleans Dclt

A correspondent Of the New Orleans Delta
presents the following lucid and forcible state
ment Of the effect of the compromise BILL
The States, in the formation Of the Constitu-
ton, surrendered 10 the common government,
the right to declare or make war in their behalf
and Of course, being rghtfully subjected to equal
burthens in its prosecution, are equally entitled
TO share in all benefits resulting from its termi-
nation. This is equally true Of the treaty -mak-
ing power Now, in the exercise of these two
powers, or either Of them, the government has
heretofore acquired territory, and will, in all
probability, hereafter acquire more. In 1920 q
sectional contest arose between the North and
the South, about the division Of territory thus
acquired. A final adjustment, or line Of division
was then agreed onto wit, the line of 80. 30
This line was, practically and in good faith, OBJ
served until disposition was attempted TO be
made Of the vast and costly acquisitions. from
Mexico. Upon this occasion, the former Gna
adjustment, or line, was set aside, and new rule
of partition adopted. What was that? Not q
geographical line, or line Of latitude, but prin
ciple-the principle Of non-interpention. Upon
this principle, the government upon the acquisi-
ton of territory, absndons its duty Of establish
ing governments for the territory, as in the case
ofCalifornia, and surrenders il 10 the occupancy
into it-slaveholders not being of the number
because the government abandons its duty "a
provide laws for the protection Of their proper.
"; or, IL il assumes and discharges its duty in
fact, by establishing territorial government as
IN the case of New Mexico and Utah, still, IL will
not interrene TO pass laws, or cause them to be
passed, To protect slave property, or even to re.
peel foreign laws excluding il. And thus, upon
Tn observance Of this principle, the South, as
yoi say in your paper lost foe measures q me
GO tpromise. In other words, the.South loses
sl the territory, and the North gets all.
Then, the principle Of the so called compro.
mise, in its practical application. necessarily
gives all the acquired territory TO the North
and the adoption Of this principle, as perms.
nent mode Of disposing Of all future territory
which may be acquired, is what large party in
the South are now endeavoring TO pledge and
bind the entire South TO. In other words whilst
il remains true and is admitted, that the govern.

SIaverv I'm I776.

While this subject Of slavery is commanding
the attention of the people in every section Of
the Union, it may not be uninteresting to give
few facts in connection with its existence in
I776. From an authentic source ; we learn that
slavery, at the period when the different States
assumed the direction of their own affairs by
declaring independence, existed to some extent,
as now recognized in the Southern States, in
every one of the original thirteen colonies. The
following table exhibits, in an ocurate light the
slave population of each colony at the above
r,antion.d time.
