stltutional symptoms. In the severe ep-
few cases occurred In the Spring and
Summer; but the greatest severity of the
disease was in October and November.
Perhaps this gives sufficient idea of
the subject for the general reader, tho
very imperfect as a medical description.
The causes of diptheria. like those of
scarlatIna, are very Lutte known, and per-
haps for this very reason. there is very
great diversity Of opinion among physi-
clans In relation to il, and any number
of discordanl and conflicting theories have
been advanced. An account -f,these .thn'
ii might be amusing, would only serve TO
confuse the reader.
The truth is, that dyptheria is a new
disease 10 physicians and 10 the people
Of the present generation, in this country.
Ii did prevail extensively here, many
years since, and an excellent account of
II was written by physician in New
York.
1t is entirely distinct disease from
scariatlna or Group, though II has some
relations TO those diseases, which might,
al times, cause doubts in the minds OF
superficial observers.
The indications seem 20 be, at present,
that we shall see much ore of it in this
country, and il is important that physi-
clans should make themselves familiar
with II. The Rhode Island Medical So
ciety has already awarded prize for a
dissertation upon the subject which will
soon be published, and we are happy TO
know that some, a, least, os the physi-
clans of this city have been Interested in
the disease during the last two years, and
are acquainted with all the particulars of
lis history, symptoms and treatment.

Diptheria! What is II,

Within the past two years the public
attention has been frequently called to
This disease, by paragraphs telling of its
ravages IN different places, or OF re-
markable mortality from 1t IN individual
families. 1t has prevailed extensively
in California. In the autumn of 1858,
il destroyed nearly two hundred children
in Albany, \. Y, in March, 1919, 1t
produced great CONSERVATION IN Orange,
Connecticut 1t Is quite prevalent at the
present time in Western New York
deaths are reported from 1t every week
in Philadelphia, New York and Boston,
and some cases hare occurred during the
last year In all parts of New Eng land !;
but IL has been epidemic so as 10 attract
the public attention IN only a few places.
In this City there were few cases IN
August, 1853, and five persons died with
the disease during the remainder Of that
year.
In 1859, seventeen persons died of
dIplheria. and during the present year IL
has been present in the city nearly all the
time, not, however, assuming an epidem-
Ic character.
II has passed over all portions of France
within the last 35 years, and Throughout,
England during the past SIX or eight
years, causing large mortality among
children. What is il
We find the following description In
one OF the City Registers Reports:
"Diptheria Is disease of childhood
the greater portion of lis victims, like
those of scarlatina, being between = and

usual symptoms of cold, and with con-

Clay and Douglas Contrasted

The Douglasi,es contend that "slaves
are properly. and stand on an equal foot
Jag with all other property" The ian
gutge used by Senator Douglas in his
4 New Orleans speech, according TO the
+ Registers own report, is as follows:
/ The Democracy of Illinois IN the first
I place, accept the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the case of
4 Dred Scott, as an authoritative in,erpre-
tation OF the Constitution. II, accordance
with that decision, we hold that slaves
are properly, aud hence on an equality
with all o,her kinds of property and the
owner of IA slave has the same right 10
move into territory and carry his slave
property with him as the owner of any
other property has TO SO there and carry
his property.
/, will be seen that Mr.. Douglas here
/ not only commits himself, but all the
Democrats of Illinois TO the new dogma,
50 distinctly" and expressly" accord
ing to the Dred Scott decision, affirmed
In the Constitution.
Compare this doctrine with tha, enuu-
ciated so eloquently by the Great Clay,
IN his speech IN the United States Senate,
July .. 1910 He said:
Il am aware there are gentlemen who
maintain that, in virtue of the Constitu-
uon, the right 10 carry slaves south os
that line already exists, and that, of
course, those who maintain that opinion
want no other security for the transport
aton OF their slaves south of that line
(36 deg. 30 min. than the Constitution.
Ii L had not heard that opinion ayowed. |
should have regarded 1t as one of the
extraordinary assumptions, and the mos,
indeieasibe positions taken by man
The Constitution neither created, nor
does II continue slavery. Slavery exist
ed independent of the Constitution, and
II YVES dependent Ia the States, not upon
the viii o Congress, but upon the laws
OF the respective States. The Cousii,u-
ton Is silent and passive upon the SUBJ
Ject OF the lnsIution of slavery, or rather.
II deals with the fact rs a fact that exists
without having created, continued or be-
ing responsible for 1t IN the States"
We ask "the Democracy of Illinois,"
we ask the old Wings of the Northwest,
who Is right, Stephen A Douglas or
Henry Clay! Do they believe with Mr..
Douglas that the Constitution places slave
pr, P ny upon the same footing with all
other kinds Of property, and that under
the Constitution it has the right to go in
to The territories and be projected there;
or do they believe with Mr. Clay, that
such a doctrine Is zone of the most e1-
'raordlnary assumptions and the most in
defeaslble positions taken by mans" In
the above extract AIr Cay S, tss correct
ly the principle Of the Republican party.
Does II not commend itself 10 all.

Press and Tribune: In the campaign OF

and Democrats united TO PROFOUND the
following question to Mr.. Lincoln and
Mr.. Douglas:
Would you II a citizen of Kansas vote
against the introduction of slavery in the
State Go be) OF Kansas7 Your answer
to be pu' lished in both the Pass AND
TRIBUNE and the Times Of Chicago"
Mr.. Lincoln promptly answered Yes
Mr.. Douglas took no notice of the ques-

his answer. Perhaps be will answer the
question if he is "belrayed" into speech

Those Of our readers who were in the
habit of listening to MIR. Douglas on the
stump In the Presidential campaign of
lS44, know tina; !; was his custom to de-
nounce Henry Clay with the same brutal
terOclty that characteriZes his assaults
upon leading Republicans now. Recent
iy an extract from one of his speeches of
The first named period, found lis way into
the public press, and forthwith the Doug
las organs declared il to be "a "Republi-
can lie" Judge Woodson, Greene Co..
who ran against Douglas for Congress
IN 1914, aud &c whom he was replying
when he gave utterance 10 the inIam-
EzstS SANDER upon Clay, was addressed on
lie subject, who although he could not
4estlfy to the language used on the occa-
ksion referred 10, Slated that Douglas was
IA the habit during that canvass of de-
nouncing Mr.. Clay, and that he Wood

language atlritu tuted to him. \ single
passage IN Judge Woodson's letter hav-
ing been seized upon by the Douglas
journals 10 break the force OF his tesli-
mony, a number of the first citizens of
Greene county have come forward with
the following statement, which must set
all doubts, If any existed, entirely at
rest:
CARRoLroS, Ill, Sept 20, 1860.
The undersigned hereby certify that
we were present at joint discussion be-
tween Stephen \. Douglas and ID. NJ.
" Woodson. opposing Candidates for Con-
gress, at Carrolton, IN 1914, and that
Mr.. Douglas, referring to Henry Clay's
action and position upon the Oregon
Boundary question, was unspalring IN
his abuse and denunciaIion of Clay, US
ing substantially the following language:
Il denounced linn IL the Congress Of the
United States as q Ifalt0r, ant 1 1a01c
denouace him as an old Jhack-heartcd
traitor" He also assalled him as being
corrupt enough to be brabed zclth BRITISH

Although the above statements have
been the subject Of frequent conversation
among the Old citizens of Carrolton. we
have heretofore refraIned from coming
before the public, (though frequently
sohcited) and only do SO now because
truth seems to demand it, as the state

NEAPoLITAN ExILEs OF 1859 AND 1860.

(From the Albany Evening Journal)
1t is Just about year since a ship load
of distinguished ExlIes left Naples-one
of them an ex-Minister of State. and all
of them men who had held pro:ninent po-
stions. They had already been eigh,
years In a prison TO which they had been
condemned without trial, and without be.
ing allowed TO produce witnesses in their
defence. This Prison was a subterrean.
can cavern, two hundred feet below the
level of the sea, without ray of light
or breath of pure air, so damp and moi
some that the clothes ro;ted On their
backs. 1t had formerly been a cemetery
and was still tenanted by dead mems
bones and the vermin that prey on corp
ses. This horrible confinement killed
some, destroyed the reason of others
and shattered the health of all. 1t was
considered an act of Royal mercy when
the feeble survivors were released from
Ii, by being tanished from their native
soil for life.
We advert 10 this well remembered
event of last year. becaase 1t points to
the moral OF another banlshment from
Naples, occurring now. Another ship
load of Exiles is about to sail from the
same coast. This time 1t consists of the
King and Court who thus tortured their
subjects for no crime but that of political
opinion. Retribution has overtaken them
al last; and they follow IN the path where
they have sent SC many victims. But
there IS a difference IN their future
The poor, broken down Patriots had the
sympathy of the civilized world; the rich
and Royal Party have none but those OF
kindred despots. The Patriots were sure
of a welcome in any Christian land; the
Royalists can find but Two safe places of
refuge in Europe. The banishment of
the Patriots lasted but twelve months,
and they are now returning TO their
homes The banishment of the Royal
ISIS bids fair 10 last ul doomsday.
