"Ben Lane" [Posey, we presume, j writes q
letter from Dunkirk, on Lake Erie. He says,
IL the cholera Ia not here 1t ought TO be, both
to fulfill the laws of pature and to punish the
sloth of the people. He says, Mr.. Pierce, the
newly elected President, has three hundred
thousand offices to give. The soundness OF
Northern Democracy-ata all events the sound
ness of Pierce, who declared that the aboli-
tionists should walk over his dead body be-
fore they assailed the South-gives assurance
Of this. Yet let us not be bullled. Aboli.
