The Washington Epidemic.

The New YORK Academy ofMsdicine have
recently reported upon The subject of The
Washington epidemic, and are of opinion
that the air was poisoned, ard not the food.
The prevailing judgment seemed to regard
foul air and noxious effluvia to be fully ade-
quale 10 the production of al! the symptoms
described, modified as the disease was by
febre indications and periodical remissions,
exacerbalions, and relapses, in many cases;
pointing 10 the miasmatic climate of the To-
cality as contributing 10 its aggravaiion.
TIE Academy after full discussion, seem
ed 10 concur in The opinion that no known
poisonous article from either kingdom Of
nature would have produced all the group
-of-sy~rrtoms which SO uniformly character.
lied the cases. and certainly not wIthou, l.
volving The stomach itself in more serious
mischief than is alleged 10 have been pres
ent in any case.

ernor Walker will have matters his way, and
feel confident that bis policy will lead to a
happy termination Of the difficulties in that
hers.ofoye unbsppy Territory. The conven.
lion, though composed Of pro-slavery men,
will submit the constitution to a vo,e of the
people. The constitution will be unexcep-
'ionable, and the question of slavery will be
submitted as separate proposition, so thai
the elector can vote for the constitution and
against slavery. About three to one will vote
against slavery. The whole vote OF the Ter.
riiory is estimated al 20 900. OF these 5000
are Pro-SIavery Democrats, 1000 Free Stale
Democrats, and 5000 Republicans. 9,25i
votes are registered, and of these 1900 voted
for delegates. II is estimated that the vote
on the constitution will reach $4,000 In
Kansas the question OF slavery is regarded as
settled. The issue now is, Shall Kansas be
a Democratic or Black Republican State? |
did not NEE; one pro-slavery man in the Ter.
ritory who expressed the opinion that it could
be slave State.

this, which the Mormors of the present day
hold in common with them: That as neither
the laws Of nature nor the precepls of The
Testament had imposed any restraints upon
men with regard TO the number of wives
which they might marry, they should use
that liberty which God himself had granted
10 the paIriarchs. Two of their prophets,
John Matthias, baker of Harlaem, and John
Boccoid, a journeyman tailor OF Leyden, fixed
their residence al Munster. Not wanting in
talent or resolution, and affecting the appear
ance Of sanctily, bold pre,en.ions TO inspira-

OF discoursing, they soon gained many con
