rest assured it is to obtain liquor—ami when you

Mr. Editor—l noticed, not long since, an ar
ticle in lire Constitutionalist, addressed to Dr.
Milton Antony, which animadverted in no meas
ured terms on this gentleman for alluding, in the
■Sept. No. of the Southern Medical and Surgical
Journal, to the unfortunate death ol Sylvanus IJ.
S, Rhodes, while going through a "course of me
dicine,” n la mode tie Thomson. Facts, names
»
circumstances, proofs, &c. were loudly called for
in the article above alluded to, and in the event
ol si cure, victory was vauntingly claimed on the
part ofa "Uolanic,” the author of the attack.
It seems that the writer of the aforesaid “phil
lipic.” (for its chief object was to pour forth a
•trade of personal abase, rather than give the
public a true statement of the case.) does not
conceal with sutficient sin cess his desire to digni
ty his cause by a public controversy with the od
i.or of the Medical Journal. In order to provoke
such a disputation, no pains is spared, and no
epithet unapplied, which would lend to consutu.
mate his purpose. It could baldly be expected
that llto editor of tiro Journal would have con
settled to engage in a newspaper controversy with
» wiiter who had shown himself as destitute of a
true sense of propriety us be was replete with
gross vulgarity. We however find in the Octo
ber No, of the Southern Medical and Surgical
Journal, a "circumstantial account of the death
of Sylvanus Is. S. Rhodes," in which wo have a
plane, unvurnisben statement of all the facts,dales
I
names, tic., together with three certificates from
respectable witnesses, which will not only con
firm the first statement in the September No. of
the Journal, hut answer most conclusively the
interrogations of a "Botanic,” and put some Os
bis statements "to the blush,” much to his dis
satisfaction no doubt.
We now merely wish that the public should
be made acquainted with this statement; and at or |
having heard both sides of the question, wo have
nothing to apprehend from its ultimate decision.
And err uiuly every one must admit the ptoptiety
of its being published in the same paper that con
tained the article which challenged an exhibition
of the truth before tbo world. And why we ask,
does (be editor of the Constitutionalist hesitate to
give this last article an insertion in his pa|>er!—
Would it not It' right and eqnitablo that thi g
should be done! Why then this delay! Docs he
wait for an invitation, or has be had one and
tefused! The public have bad an "ex parte”
evidence, and this too, upon the mere asset lien op
an irresponsible signature.
If the editor of tbo Constitutionalist has the
public weal ut heart—if bo wishes that the true
merits of the case should Ire made known, and to
give the public the power of arriving at a corrcc
conclusion in legurd to the case above mentioned,
then be will most certainly publish the account
contained in the October No. of the Medical Jour
nal, and thus sai-ly a “Uolanic," as well as nn
intelligent community.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12, 1837- ,
This was "petition day.” as the parliainenia y .
phrase is, and the Speaker called lire Stales and t
Territories in their order lor petitions and memo
ir! air. When .Massachusetts was called, Mr. Joint
| Quincy Adams presented a petition from I’ty- ,
| mouth, in that State, remonstrating against the :
annexation of Texas to the Union; which, along j
j with all the petitions and memorials having the
J same prayer, that were presented during tiro 1 (
j extra session and were now on the files cl llto
I House, he moved should be relen-cd lo a Select
Committee, with instructions to report lu.ly
thereon.
Mr. Howard ofMil., moved to refer these peli- j
I lions to the Committee on Foreign Allans, ut
which that gentleman is Chairman,
Mr. Adams said that he had the concurrence
of all Ids colleagues in his motion, and w-.s pro- j
ceeding to make some retaatks, when the Chair
interposed and declared, that if the matter led to j
debate, it must, by the rule, lie over til! tomorrow, j
Mr. Wise intimated his intention to move, at a
proper lime, to lay the whole of those memorials
on the table.
Mr. Adams then presented a petition from Ply
mouth, Mass., praying for the abolition of slavery
In the Dint riel of Culutnh.a; and he moved that
it, and also ail the petitions having the same pray
-1 ir, ami now on the table of the House, he referred
to the Committee on tbo District of Columbia.
, Mr. Wise maud to lay the motion fur reference
t on the table. Mr. Potts of J’a., demanded the
1 ftyee and nays, which were ordeied, awl the
question was carried in the ufiirnrative by ayrs
155, mivs TO. So the House resolved to lay on
the table the motion to commit.
Mr. Adams presented another petition of ex.
aclly the same character, and made the same
motion in refer to the Committee on the District.
. Mr. Wise renewed hia motion, and again it pte
' vailed.
Mr. Adams then, offered another p.titioh, having
the game prayer. Mr. Lawler of Ala., demanded
. the question cf reception;, which being put, ‘ho
House determine I that tiie petition should he
received by a vote of Ml ayes, GO nays.
Mr. Wise sail that the reason why he had no,
f
at first raised the question on the reception was
1 that it had already been decided ; and decided
’ too by Southern voles!—that these petitions
should he received. He renewed his motion to
lay on the table the motion for reference, which
was carried, lir. Wise appealed to the honora
ble gentleman limn Massachusetts to presrnt all
1 bis petitions on this subject at once. Mr. Ad
ams declared in reply that he had no disposition
to give trouble to the gentleman from Virginia or
to command the lime of the House—hut he fell
it hia duly to move the reference of each of these
1 petitions.
He then presented a memorial praying for the
abolition of slavery in all the Territories under
the Government of the United Stales; and mo
ved to refer it to tiro Committee on the Territories.
Mr. Adams said this was u new and distinct
question; und therefore ho asked fur tire ayes
and noes, which was ordered; and the motion of
Mr. Wisr. prevailed by the vote of Ayes 127
Noes 78.
Petitions and memorials were then presented
from different Slates, of which it would ho unin
tuiesting to fu-nishany particular account.
In the Senate also, a great number of petitions
were presented remonstrating against the annexa
tion of Texas, chiefly from New England, Penn
sylvania and Ohio. A groat number of private
hills were introduced ; and notices of motions of
little or no general interest.
The hill brought in by Mr. Davis in reference
to distressed Navigators, was ordeted to he en

A letter has been received in town, from one 0
| of the officers of 32d regiment, staling that the p
body ofLteut. Weir had been discovered at St. y
Denis. The writer slates that the body was dts- 0
covered near a Unitary, half in and half out of
the water ol the Richelieu, where it was un
doubtedly thrown after tire assissination. The
body of the unfortunate young soldier was found
in a state so shockingly mutilated, that it was
impossible, says the writer, to give a description ,
of it, without exciting sensations of the most bar- ■
rowing description. N one us the wounds inflic
ted upon the body seem to have been gun-shot c
ones, which is a prima facie proof that Lieut, c
Weir was not fired at or assis.inalcd in the act v
of making his escape, as bad t een reported. The }
body is to be brought Into town for interment. |

I «OM Lows a Canada.—After the lapse of a t
whole week wo find ourselves still without well
authenticated particulars of the St. Charles and
St. Dennis afft.rs, or of the actual position of “
parties at the present moment. Os one thing, (
however we are quite certain, that there has been
misrepresentation on both sides. No Montreal <
papers have been received since Saturday, and
the last mail brought nut even a letter.
The town i f Montreal is now barricaded and j
prepared, as far as possible, for « winter seige.— i
Every loyal citizen is a soldier, and the city pro- r
sents the single aspect of a military camp. It is
now understood that the patriot force assembled at 1
St, Charles has retired into the country, and that |
sll is quirt in that quuiter at present.
We shall next expect to hear news of interest I
from the upper district, in ths vicinity of Lake of
the two Mountains.

From the Montreal Transcript, /Ac. 5.
The troops wtricii vveie dispatched hour hence ,
on Thursday last, by .loatubot', have tallowed ;
lire route proposed. They made two prisoners ;
in lire vil.jge ol Bt. Ours, viz* Air. J. Doiiuit, a
member oi the House ct Assembly', und Mr. ]
Louis Moge, a captain of militia. These two !
worthies reached Montreal on Saturday evening, :
attd were lodged in jail under a charge ol higtr
treason. Fursuing their march to St. Denis, the '
remnant of the rebel force lied from that village ,
toward St. Charles, and the troops ollered no vto- ,
lence, except, ofcours-, to the house,dislille y and
outbuildings of Dr, Wollrcd Nelson; the house ;
of Mr Descbambault, Nelson’s partner in bu.-t- ;
ne-s as in politic-;two iiouses used as taverns,the
house of Mdme. Germain; and lire house ol the
infamous Jalbert, once a captain ot militia,
better known as lire assassin ol Lieutenant Wei - ,
odd icglment.
The troop- then continued their route, follow,
j ing the footsteps of the reining rebels, toward
| St, Hyncinthc and St. Charles; they arc staled to
i have taken 3 guns, besides recoviting the gun
which was spiked on the occasion oi the first visit
i to St. Dtitic.
j Wo hear through a source which scarcely
] admits of doubt, that i’apincau and O'Callagnan,
i disguised, passed though SSaiutc Mane; that they
travelled t.y night and even then not along llto
highroad, having lined a chasseur to conduct
them though tiie woods. They have probably
reached the States.
Ot General Drown nothing farther is known, al
though rumor has been busy. lie is said to have
bicn again detained by a party of his own delud
ed and deserted troops.
From the I!ulilt! ; t:)n Sentinel, Dec. 8.
The patriots ate organizing their men and pre
paring for their winter campaign. Little or no
thing will be done till (here is crossing lire ice to
Moiilreak At Grand Brule, 33 miles above Mon
treal, they are assembled in large numbers and
are drilling under (he command of a man named
Gitouard and a Swiss officer, by the name of Gi
tod. They have the complete command of the
country, and have stopped the mails. On this ,
side of the Sorcl they have retired from St. Den
ni> and arc now posted at St. Ccsaire.
All active operations will probably lie suspend- |
ed on both -ides until the month of January. .
It will lie seen by an extract from a Montreal i
paper published above, that a detachment of troops i
lias been sent to Isle Jesus to walch the motions I
of the disorganizes at Grand Bruic. — Com. Atlv . j

detachment of tiro 43d Light Infantry, under the i
command of Capl. Egetion, matched from the 1
hairacks to Indian Town, and embarked on heard 1
the Steamer Gazelle, (or Fredericton. They were
accompanied by the band us the 83th regiment,
and a number of respectable inhabitants, and
were repeatedly cheered by the la.ter. We learn
that they wore landed at Oagetown, the ice in
the river having prevented the steamer from pro
ccsding any farther up than that place. The Ga.
zolle sustained some injury, hut was promptly re
paired, and proceeded to Windsor for mure troops
last Tue. day evening.

oentual A.meiiica.—The editors of tire New
York Gazette have dales from Guatemala, to
Oct. Ist. by which they learn that the cholera
had again made its appearance in the province of
San Salvador, and Guatemala, and had com nit
led great ravages, hut was on the decline. In
the provinces of Nicaragua and Honduras its ra
vages had been dreadful, but it was confidently
hoped, they had seen the worst. In Guatemala
and St. Salvador, in consequence us the cholera,
the Indigo and Cochineal crops were ruined and
abandoned. President Murazan continued to
use his best endeavors to prevent the spread of
the cholera, and prevail upon the laboring class
oflho people who had fled to the mountains o
leturn to their homes.
Mr. De Witt, our Charge d’Affrircs, had given
notice of his intention to return to the United
Stales for the purpose of bringing Iris family to
Guatemala,
The Republic was enjoying the utmost tran
quility. The Administration of Presided! Mora
zan continued to give tbo greatest satisfaction,
and at no time lor several years past had the po
litical horizon worn so pacific an aspect.
'The survey of the canal from the Atlantic to 1 -
the Pacific hud been commenced and partially J
completed, hut discontinued for the present sea- i
son in consequence of the sickness (cholera) in a
the province of Nicargua. The proposed route J
is from San Juan do Nicaragua, (lat. 10 58 W.) ;
up that river, (distance 130 mile-,) to and through j
the Lake Nicaragua, distance 07 miles, to the t
city of Nicarauga; thence to Bri.-tlo, 10 miles, in I
the Gulf of Popagyo, lat. 11,30 N.; whole dis- r
lance. 234 miles. The survey will wot be com J
plenl-d. until next year—nor will there be any 11
