CHICAGO, THURSDAY. JULY 10. 1850

A:Psopos<d IsdIgn atlon MeetinE.~
: 4 strong feeling Of indignation pervades our
whole Community, irrespective ofparties. at the
criminal recklessness OF the course pursued By
The 8narl<yoxto of the Chicago 7imts, in filing
that sheet with lying and infamous Insertions
relative to the presence Of The Small Pox in this
city. It has day after day howled the same
charges, which have again and again been cor.
rected.
1t persists that we are in The midst of a
=" frghtfu1 <pid<mie." that the disease ie
3" "spreadug with fearful rapidity," and almost
daily connects the name Of some respectable |
ply sician with the rumor. This it has done for /
The past fortnight or more. It's last infamy |
was to announce yesterday that Dr.. Powell had
informed him that be was attending n small
pox patient in Edna Place. Dr.. Powell assures
us that he has recently seen neither the Small
pox nor Snarityouu.
Now what is the effect Of this Our mer-
chants, our hotel keepers are finding the Timts
everywhere quoted in evidence sgainst the san
itary con dition OF or city. Persons from
abroad are being inspired witha fear Of visiting
our city, and all this that ths petty political
spite ofshe Timer may find vert !,
There was talk last evening Of m Indignation
meeting of our business public. Il may Jet be
well to hold one, if such be netessary to axsure
the community abroad that ckicago wns never
safer to visit than now Thu: only few scat
tered cases Of smallpox, not mole than are
usual in city Of cur population, are to be
found here.
Yet this is characteristic Of the Chicago
ISmes. Its files for years abound in slaaders On
our city. It has attacked our city credit, it has
laid deliberate schemes to the injury Of the
same, and then exultipgly heralded the protest
Of city orders, and the seizure Of city property
under execution. It has never been otherwise
than the defamer Of Chicago.
1t seems recently to have passed all previous
bounds. 1t certainly has got far away from the
sympathy ..of its customary supporters. and
men Of all parties are loud in their deouucia-
t;ons Of sheet that has wilfuly and falsely cir
cu1ated these infamous and dangerous rumors.
An Instance or Gratitude.

The great eclipse ol the sun yesterday,
Chicago, in the light OF an exhibition merely
was failure. The drop curtain didn't rise
and Old Sol and the gentle Luna did their KISS

no ground for the rumor that there Was post
