REPORT.

To correct the exaggerated reports of i'll health which
for weeks past have been prevailing to the injury of our
town. and to inspire confidence both at home and abroad
We the undersigned, physicians Of the town. have this
day met together and after the mature and delibe-
rate examination Of the whole subject with all the facts
that could be collected from the physicians present pub
lish the following as n true and reliable report:
We have to state that since the 18th of last Nav
venty cases OF true Asatc cholera have
among Of this number much larger proportion has
fallen TO the charge of than Of others vet we have
all less of them. The deaths have AMOUNT
ed to thirty For days past the disease has
been gradually declining and at this time but one case
known to exist The disease has been confined certain
localities and for the most part has selected for its vic
Tins persons Of Incorporate habits crowded together in
confined apartments and living in state Of great filth
and indulgence. II thus appears that at time has the
cholera assumed epidemic FORM attacking all classes
Unfortunately, but has confined itself within certain
bounds and with two exceptions the lowest class OF
persons thereby proving concusycy that there has
just occasion for the singular panic and alarm which
has rapidly spread itself
In conclusion, have to ASSURE the public that at no
time within experience has Alexandria been more ex-
empt from all Diseases and do not hesitate TO declare
all fears the part Of citizens at home or strangers
abroad to be utterly groundless

Illinois n Slave state!

and has become a law, if an enactment in contra

prohibits the entrance of Freeman into the State,
under the penalty of being sold into slavery and
authorizes the admission of Slaves, if brought in
or sent by their masters
We shall publish the act, or an abstract of it.,

and Noes on its passage Chic. Times.
Such law is enough to brand the State of H.

Incredible that State, professedly free, and in
cluded W thin che limits of the Ordinance of 1887
should stoop so iGw and thus degrade itself in the

wait to see, whether of the multitude OF presses in

mean enough to justify this abomnation Linz

Board of Supervisors Nee ting.

A special meeting of the Board of Super
visors of this county, convened at the Court
in this city, on Thursday of last week, and
continued in session until Saturday afternoon.
The primary business for which the board
met, was the consideration of an application
to vacate the town of Southport Most of
the time during the session was spent in
discussing the expediency and propriety of
the measure. The Board adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That it is expedient to vacate
the town of Southport, and annex it to the
towns of Pleasant Prairie and Somers, ac-
cording to the published notice and prayer
OF the petitioners on the subject.
? Resolved, That in view of facts presented
IN regard to the collection of the town tax
OF the town of Southport the past year, this
Board deem the whole proceedings in the
premises, clearly illegal and void; and
would therefore direct the county Treasurer.
if those proceedings are no; legalised by spe-
cial act of the Legislature, to make no sales
on returns from said town, and to charge ov-
er to said town the amount of said returned
tax, the same to be re-assessed as provi-
ded in such cases by law.
Resolved, That this Board will present a
petition to the Legislature of this State, at
its present session asking the passage of a
special act, authorizing and requiring the
town Boards. of Somers and Pleasant Prairie,
to investigate and ascertain the amount of
the Indebtedness of the town of Southport,
as now existing, and to levy special tax up
on the personal and real estate of said town
to pay said Indebtedness.
Resolved, That this Board petition the
Legislature to pass an act legalizing the an
nual tax Of the town Of Southport, for the
year 1852, and authorizing the collection of
any of such taxes unpaid and their applica-
ton as by law provided; and further, that
provision be made by Legislative enactment
for the payment of all Indebtedness of the
town of Southport, by tax upon the real
and personal property Of said town.
The above resolutions were adopted by
the following vote:
Ayes-Sholes, Crossit, Deming, Keno
sha; Hockney, Brighton; Woodwork, Sa-
lem; Woodruff, Southport; Russell, Paris

EDITORIAL CORREsPONDENCE


MADISON, Feb. rs, 1853.
This has been thus far, week Of some
excitement though am not aware that any,
thing of much importance has been consum-
mated. The committee having charge of
the investigation of the charges against Judge
Hubbell has reported, IS yon have before
heard. The committee recommend his re-
moval by address, and prefer very serious
array of charges against him, as proven by
the testimony before them. The question
now before the House, is whether they will
proceed against him as recommended by the
committee, or by impeachment, or whether
they will proceed at all. Certainly, nothing
Is more important than the purity of the Ju-
dietary, though it is much to be regretted
that the condition of things should have ari-
sen to entail such expenses upon the state.
The committee on a prohibitory liquor
law reported this morning. Four out of five
of the committee reported adversely to any
action in the matter. The chairman of the
committee (Sholes) recommended action, and
reported prohibitory bill, with clause sub
uniting 1t to the people. This is the only
shape in which bill could possibly pass,
and it can hardly be hoped for in this shape.
The fact is, guess, before the friends of the
measure can make much Roadway in it. they
must elect members of the Legislature with
some reference to it. AS long as "Democra-
cy" and "Whiggery' and Free Soil" are al
lowed to override it at elections, they will
override it in the Legislature. Some men
look so intently to heaven as to break their
shins over the Instructions of this earth and
such is the case with those who look so in
tensely to the National politics, as to stumble
very much over local matters at home
know it is said this is a thing that ought not
to be carried into politics. But if it is a
matter proper to be brought at all before the
Legislature, it is certainly very proper to el-
ect members with reference to it.
There are a great many bills before the
House, and many introduced every day. l
think of none, however, of any special i'm
portance to our section of the state A bill
was to-day passed through committee of the
whole, providing for a geological survey of
the state, and from the quiet acquic5cenco of
members should think it would pass the

dinghy. [ allude to the commissioner of
Emigration, which bill has been introduc-
cd to make elective by the two houses, on
joint ballot An effort was to-day made to

democracy has its eye on the office, and we
might as we'll try to save a chicken from a
hawk, as to save this from them.
The House yesterday passed some excel
lent resolutions on the Jet of"Frce Lands"
They requested our Senators and Represent

quantities, at low rates, or without cost.

Report On the Liquor law.

lcct committee to whom was referred the
subject Of the Liquor Law, presented a re-
port signed by himself on the 25th ult. ac-
companied by prohibitory bill, with a
clause submitting the law to the people,
The report urges with much force the pro-
priety of allowing the people to express their
wishes through the ballot box on this alb
sorbing question. The bill accompanying the
report is drawn with much care, and avoids
the constitutional objections which have
sometimes been urged against bills of this
character We shall endcavor to publish the
report of Mr.. Sholes next week.
