m uiri . Editor* —The following direct* of a letter
viiueo by s E. Mouse, Esq., senior editor of the New York
“observer, who has been travelling in Europe during the last
and a half, are o impartiul ill its slatementa—so full of
VniioiU'it fills—and, withal, so concise, that its publication
in die Courier will be gratifying 10 many of your leader*:
..Thai slu*e* were introduc and into the present American
Stale* by Blitaio. while they were hel colome*, is geilerally
Known to readers of history, It is not so generally known
that ibis was done in opposition to the leitionstranco of the
col,mists. The evidence of this fact, however, has often been
bushed in America; and is well known there that, in the
first draft of the declaration of American Independence. .Mr.
Jetieison introduced the refus.,l of Brila’n to heed those re
inonstiancea a* one of the justification* of that dccl nation.
••In 1775, when the present Constitution of the U. States
was formed, all (lie great maritime powers of Europe, inclini
ng (Jreal Britain, were actively engag’ and in the African slave
liuiie; and scarcely a murmur was heard against that infa
mous iiiitlic. even among good Christians in England and
Scotland. And y*L that lime, of the thirteen sovereign
otul independent States in America, eleven were ready to v<te
lor its immediate abolition, and only iwo, Houlti Caiolina
and Geotgia withheld their consent. These two were final
ly prevail and upon by the rest to permit ofi article to he insert
ed in the new Constitution, conferring upon Congress the
power to abolish the trade after a period of twen'y years.—
This negotiation with South Carolina and Georgiu was the
first negotiation for the abolition of the African slave trade
The negotiations of Crest Britain wiih Spain, Portugal, and
France, were not commenced until long afterwards.
••The most praiseworthy nvm deviation* of ami slavery prin- 1
ciplc, and the greatest sacnli. es in the anti-slavery c*u<e, yet
made in uny pari of the Anulo-Saxon world, have been made
in the slave-holding States of America.
**••••
••Few pcsoi s have any adequate conception of the firm- 1
nos- with which slavery was rooted in the Southern Slates of
America, wnile they were under British doovnion. If the
importation of slaves had been stopped when the wise men ol
lliti Sou'll first remonstrated against it, slavery might long ere
t . s have Uin ihoii-hed there by vole of the Legislatures, as
ji wis in trie N > tii; hut the importation was driven on un
til the ls*'tiol nig interests ovcrwhfjmcd and controlled all
others More than halt ot the population in all the low coun
try of (hos- Si)iv>s an* now negro slaves; while all political
power is in ihe h nd- of the other half, the great majority of
whom “c s!jvch'dderß and their dependent-. Each of these
Stat* s has the exclusive control ot -laverv within its own
limits. Neither the Government ot the United Slates nor
the (iovermeni of any of the Northern States, can meddle
witd the matter in any way. If slavery is abolished in any
Slate, it imum be by the vttfe of the Legislature of that State
—a Legislature, the majority of whose members are ordina
rily themselves actual slaveholders; it must be by the vote
of a body of wealthy and powerful men. who will by that ‘
vote deprive ‘hem-elves of the wealth and the power which
they inherit from their ancestors. This is an entirely new
case. It is not the case of slavery in the West Indies—it is
not the case of slavery in the Northern States of America 1
Slavery was abolished in those countries by Legislatures in
which there were few if any slaveholder. That was an ra
sy task. We have now to solve a difficult problem : II >w
•shall we contrive to abolish slavery in a country where noth
ing effectual c an he done without the consent and active co
operation of the actual slaveholder? Khali we begin with
denouncing him 1 Shall we refuse to have any fellowship
with him ! Shall We shut him out of our prayer meeting*
and temperance meetings ! If he is disposed to sympathise
with us, and offers us money to be Ip us in our necessities,
shall we throw it in his face? And to make him feel how
reasonable it is that we, of all people in the wctrld. ri.ould
treat him so; shall we tell him that wc are Britons—that we
belong to the country which forced this slavery upon them
that we live in houses built with ihe money w hich he paid us
for these slaves, and that we mean still lo live in them, while
we call upon him to give up the property we sold him, as he
can have no g *od title, because we stole it? Is this the way
that British Christians are to deal with American slavehold
er- ?
No; the abusive,denunciatory, non intercourse policy will
not do. The ultra-Abolitionists in the Northern States of
America have tried it for more than ten years, and the result
has been just what all men of plain Common sense predicted.
All the while that this abolition storm has been blowing from 1
the north, the sou hern slaveholder has stood with his cloak
wrapped closely about him, and we do not expect to see him
throw it off fill the storm subsides, and the sun of Christian
love again shines warmly uptfn him. Every high spirited
people instinctively resist foreign interference in their alT.iirs.
If that interfere nce comes in the shape of moral rebuke, they
will naturally look sharply at the parly who administers it;
and if they see there, as they w. uld see in the present case,
one whom they deem more guilty than themselves—one who
led them into their sin, and who has profited hy their sin—
the thief, in short, who sold (hem the stalen goods which he
now calls upon them to restore—they will not tolerate in i
such a reprover, the arrogant language of the Pharisee:
“Stand by thyself, for I am holier than thou,” but will require
him to approach iu the attitude of the humbie penitent, con
fessing and grieving for the wiong he has done, and offering
to do all in )us power to repair it. If Britons Would aid in
abolishing American slavery, Id them go in that attitude, and
with the language and lone that become that att tude ; and
the force of their rebuke, in ihe fio-om of every truly Chris
tian slaveholder, would be irresistible. S. E. M.
Crops of the United States. —The Washington Era con
tains an estimate, taken from the letter of the Secretary of the
Treasury, of Dec. 10, 1846, of the quantity of each of the
following staples, raised in the United States during the yeai |
1546, with the value of each production, according to the
prices they hoie in the New VoiK market, on the Ist. Dec.
last, viz:
Cotton, 760.000,000 pounds, worth, $73.150 000
Oats, 179 528 800 bushels, worth, 69.567,410
Kice, 97,741.500 pounds, worth, 3 736 483
Harley, 6,676.500 bushels, worth, 3.431.313
Hye, 29,892,500 bushola, worth, 23.465 612
Wheat. 117,202 800 bushels, worth, 121,011 891
Indian Corn, 459.666.900 bushels, worth, 31 4.871.820
Hut these are only approximations to the real quantity of
the crops raised are, indeed, veiy little more then estimates,
and are, no doubt, far below the quantity actually raised.—
An attempt was made in !840*gwhen the new census wa
taken, to obtain authentic information ujnti (bra mid other
statistical subjects, but what with the refusal of percent inter
ested to answer, the nuttm turn of the census takers, and the
•sant of information on the part of ihoM who were expected
to give it, the ex iteration of some and the lessening of oth
ers. the tables, of cf#*p<. dec., for (bat year, as given in the
census, were so manifestly iiuovre. t that ro relrance whale*
er could Ire placed upon them. These remarks apply partic
ularly to the grain crops, that of cotton being always pretty
nearly correctly ascertained each year.
Singular Murder hy a Wife. — A few days since sn in
quest was held at Montreal, on the body of a man named
Cochrane, who Imiged in a house in Grifllntown, ami occu
pied a room separated fr.m ‘bat of bis landlord only by a
door. On (be evening of Fruity last, be whs sitting on the
bed taking tea, with his w ife beside bun. when suddenly he
started up and ran out of the apaitmcnt exclaiming that he ,
was slabbed. ‘I be landlord and some other persona attempt
ed to render asi lance, but he died aim-rat instantly. On ex
amining the wound, it appeared th t the It moral artery had
been cut, aod that death had ensued from the hemorrag*.—
Deceased's wife did not leave her own room for sometime af
ter he I- 11. and when she did In* was either dead or ffvinj;
the sod “Oil! 1 could not have done that.” A chisel of
which the blade tilled the wound and which no doubt wait
the instillment with which it was inflvt J, was found in ‘be
apartment of the deceased. The jury return# tl a verdict that i
deceased came to his death from a wound indicted by his wife
with a ►harp cutting instrument, and she was immediate ly
sent to jail uuJei the coroner's warrant.

| Island or Lono*.—The island of Lobos, where ode troops
aie concentrating for the attack on Vera Cruz, is somewhat
noted. A letter in the Tropic says that it was at this Island
Com. Porter, in 1818, first hoisted thb tri colored flag of Mex
ico, and aided her, with his little fleet, in her revolt against
Spain. This Island was the rendezvous of the French squad
ron in 1837, when they battered down the walls of Msu Juan
d’Uloa; and lastly, it was there that Coin. Moore, of ihe
i'exan N ivy, watered and recruited the health of his men
tor six weeks in 1842, alter hunassing and terrifying the
Mexicans along the coust far thirteen months. A well dug
by Com. Moore is still to be seen in the centre of the Island.
This Island is sixty miles from Tampico, ISO from Vera
Crux, 25 fio.n Tuspan, and six from the main land. It was
at ihe lime the troops landed densely covered with all kinds
ol shrubbery and a few India rubber, sea birch and cabbage

! The Georgia papers persist in reading Mr. Calhoun out of
j the Church Democratic. Does his heresies consist in non
formity with an exclusive creed, which is propounded ns the j
only one suited to political Orthodoxy, or is bis sin of aposta
cy discoverable in dissent from Mr. Benton, or his want of
Initi. in the assertion of intellectual independence. Who au
thorized these Georgia papers to speak in this authoritative
tone foi the Democratic party, we are not advised. What
convocation of political doctors haa taken place which as
sumes to speak tin it, there has been neither notice nor record.
hi fact, the party transgression of Mr. Calhoun consists in
this circumstance, that his mind i9 too manly to bow down its
energies in subserviency to what is called party discipline.
He has most especially denounced this caucus system. He
will not worship those idols that are created by party for po
litical tvolship. In this he JesPrv es the thanks of the truly in
dependent portion of *he people of the United States. In this
he resembles Ida illustrious Coadjutor, at one time, in the na
tional councils, when party behests were not the order of the
day, the lamented Win. Lowndes, lie too avowed his inde
pendence of caucusSes. He refused to attend then). This is
the sene! of those readings out from the('hurch Democratic,
of which >lr. Calhoun is the intended victim*— Ete. I\eirt.

COTTON MAItKKT.
Our market bus experienced hut little change since our last
week’s Quotations. Upon the receipt bf yesterday’s mail there
| seemed to be a little falling ofi , and we may now quote prices
jns a shade lower than last week—say, highest price 10 a 10J.
To tlie Patron* of Hie Hlessoiigfi’*
With the present number terminates the existence of the
“Georgia Messenger,” or at least, its individuality as a dis
tinct Journal. Consulting our inclination*, and what we re
gard as good taste, we should prefer retiring f>om our position
as Editor of the “.Messenger,” •Imply* with the annunciation
J of the fact of our withdrawn!, iHfltead of permitting ouiselvesio
1 undergo a formal leave-taking.
We might succeed In interesting that respected portion of
our readers, who, for a long series of years have been connect
ed with the fortunes of this pap.r, hy indulging in reminiscen
ces of former times , reviving by-gone scenes and occurrences;
and presenting the striking contrasts of the present w iip the
past, which we, in common with them; through various muta
tions, have witnessed and experienced. To ourselves, the em
ployment would be a grateful one ; hut the mass of our rend
ers would feel little interest in such exclusive topics; and would
rather regard them as evidences of egotism or self-indulgence,
than matters of public concernment. But custom basils requi
sitions; and a valedictory is as indispensable fiom an editor
making his rouge, a* u salutatory is from one making his fust
bow to the public. ‘I o rfave ourselves then from an imputa
tion! which tie nan of generous or sot ini impulses, would wil
lingly incur, we take our leave of our patrons with expressions
of our regrets, rather than ns we designed, with expressive si
lence. An employment, arduous and distnteful in itself, may,
from becoming hubitual,l>e not only endurable, but almost in
dispensable to our existence and comfort. We have heard of
transitions from labor to ease, from servitude to freedom, being i
attended with Unpleasurnhlo emotions; and paradoxical as
such cases may seem, we now in part experience the truth of
such a position, ift abandoning a business for which we have
no taste, and which we have long desired to leave, with tiling- ;
led feelings of regret and satisfaction. We rejoice in our e
mancipation from an arduous, thankless, and profitless voca- ,
tion, although we cannot resist casting a long, fond, lingering ,
look,back upon our pilgrimage. Instead then of quietly and
unobtrusively retiring from the position we have occupied as
Editor of the ‘‘Messenger ;** w c must give expression to our
feelings, and assure our friends and patrons, that we take leave
of them with all those heart-felt emotions, that long fellowship ■
and intimate associations must naturally create. To our po
litical friends, we tender our grateful acknowledgments for
their tolerance of our sfiorl comines, their countenance and
sympathies in our successes and defeats, and their appreciation ;
of our loyalty and devotion to our common political creed, for
the support of which, we have labored to ihe best of our ability.
As the hold yeoman said in one of Scott’s inimitable romances, 1
“A man can but do hi* beet;” and if in this business ofediiing 1
a political paper, where so many diverse tastes are to he con- 1
suited, so many ideal standard*, which every subscriber has
the right of creating, to he regarded, the editor succeeds, hon
estly and cotiscienciously in Aaiisfving himself, that he has
come up to the requisition of having faithfully “done his best,’
he receives a meed, which may not be commensurate in value
with the World’s applause, hut is in fact,more satisfnrtory.atid
consolutory—the consciousness of having done hi* duty.
For our pdlitical opponents* We have a parting word; in giv
ing which, we enjoy ttiUch pet-fcotiul satisfaction. Although
we have been engaged in vety Hinny exciting contests, the feel
ing that has been elicited, lias been but transitory. We have
endcavoied to combat *uccfci!ful!y against principles which
we conscientiously believed to be prejudicial, arid in support of
those which we thought were bohducive, io the interests of the
country. In conducting this party warfare, we have u I ways
maintained the distinction between men and measures, and
while we h&ve continued uninterruptedly, our friendly and so
cial relations with the one, v4fc Have as perseveringly bast led
against the oilier. To many bf them we owe a debt of grati
tude lor expressions ofgbod Will, as well as for substantial ev
idences of ii; und even the unenvied few, wlicse partisanship
excludes the indulgence of all catholic and social feelings, we
part with on ’vantage terms,for we owe them no ill will.
In breaking up these old associations, and effecting whnt we
have long wished, a retirement from editoriul cares and duties,
we bid good bye lo our patrons, w ith the same sensations that
one experiences in parting from near friends, desiring tor them
peace, happiness, and prosperity.

Georgia Journal and Jlrisfiigcr,
The types, piesscs, mtterialx, subscription list ami patron
age us the Georgia Journal hitherto published in Milledgeville
having been purchased by and transferr. and to S. Rose A, Cos.
of the Macon Messenger, tbe united papers will on and after
the 15lh of April, be published in the city of Macon , under
the name of the *• Gs)rgia Journal and Messenger and be
edited and conducted by tbe Undesigned. Tho Albany
Courier having been discontinued, its entiie patronage and
: subscription list have also’ been transferred to the proprietors
us the new concern. In dtdei td give time and opportunity
j for the removal of the materials of the Journal to Macon,
that paper will not again appear until the day above named
The legal and other advertisements of both the Journal urd 1
Courier, will, however, be continued in the Messenger until i
the union is effected ; and the subscribers to the former paper*
will be regularly jerved with copies of the latter until that !
time.
This arrangement is rendered advisable by the very large
subscription list which it becomes ucv.e**wry to revise, correct,
and arrange, and also, by the cumbrous nature of some of the
machinery which must be removed.
Tbe new paper (which will be about the size of the South
ero Recorder.) will for the present be issued weekly; though
should the local advertising us M icon Justify, rt bray he’eaf
ter be published tri-weekly —perhaps daily . A complete
and very ample supply of new type and other materials ha?
been oidered, and will be on hand, probably, by the first ot
June, when the Journal and Messenger Will be issued in n
ecli ely new dtesa, and will tq'.td in mechanical appearance ■
any newspaper in the Soothe n Statca. The new Proprie
tors have resolved to spire neither trouble nor expense, in or
der to make the piper worthy the extensive patronize which
i already possesses. The subscription list will be so very large.. ‘
that the Journal and Messenger cannot far! to be sought b) ‘
advertisers, as tbe medium of communication with tire people
of the Stite aft While the undeisigned pledge fhernAelve
to tr-e their best talents and energies, tu intke the reading dti
ps time nt us the paper equal to that of any other. Ft will l>t
their especial study to convey, in ihe fewest possible words, !
correct impressioirs itr regard to tin* news, politics, BTIJ pro- :
gress of the tfiy. Due attention will al- •be paid lo Literature
and Science, to Agriculture. .Vs inufxctures, Internal Ifflpiove
meuta, tbs Mechanic and Domestic Aits.
Having all their hopes, and interests centered in Georgia,
and expecting to IDe anJ die writh'd her limits, they will of
course, regard her claims as paramount, and labor “with an
eye tingle” to her glory and prosperity.
As the Journal will be rershved’ fonr Mil lodge title, and
onny of its readers may desire lo he continually informed nt
tbe current news of the Capital, we have thought at proper 1
to engage the services of a competent correspondent the e,
who will keep ux constantly advised of every occurrence prop
er to be laid before the public. It is also our purpose, duiing
each b.ennial session of tho Legislature, to lay full and ain ‘
pie reports of the proceedings of that body befoie our readers .
as soon ax it can he done by any other ptft* in the State.
Situated ax Micon is, in the very m dxl of the great Agri
cultural intere#ti of Georgia, easy of access, from every put j
nf the Slate, and upon the min line of travel between our J
own sea p>rt and the great West, the place cannot fail to be
one of importance, and ite press must be u*tamtd with *
liberality proportioned to the remarkable facilities which it
**njya ot furnrMirng the read ng public with the earliest in
telligence from all section* of the country.
It will scarcely be necessary to add that the politics of the
Journal and Missengsr % will be e**entislly Whig ; and bat
1 we rely insmly upon the well known intelligence, justice, pa
triotism, end reading propensities of that party for sjcccs#
Tbe Whig* have alwaya been distinguished tor the liberality
with which thfj lux* auaUmrd the pte* , of then oppo
und*; wc shall lhenf.it e deem it unufcvsiiary to Jo mors to sy- J
cure their patronage, than to make th e Journal and Messenger
worthy of the causo to which it is devoted. To our oppo- j
uents, vre will endeavor to he liberal an J just—censuring
fearlessly where censure is deserved, and praising liberally
wtieic praise is due.

SOulli Western Georgia—Her Interests
and her Duty.
We have been roughly handled heretofore, for prestimptd
ously suggesting, as it was charged, to the people of our State,
who live in this highly favored region, w !iut we honcst!> con
ceived to be their interests und duty. We are glad to find that
a change liax come over the minds of our Albany friends, and
from the indications given in their public paper*, that we are
hereafter to look fora hearty co-operution from them, in con
summuting this great undertaking—a communication of South
Western Georgia With our Atlantic seudioaid. It vVould be
! *uperilous for us to descant upon the great advantages that
; must accrue to Southwestern Georgia, hy opening td it a mar
! ket more accessible, and in every respect more favorable, than
any other, for their products. As our corn unu other grain be
come, as they eventually will, articles of export, the culture |
| of our great staple,cotton, must he confined to those section* .
| of the State, moat congenial to its growth, and Southwestern !
Georgia is emphatically the cotton region oj the State. To
make then the lands productive, to encournge the planter in
, the grow th o I this valuable staple, by affording him the induce- j
| ments of higher price* and smaller charges, it is proposed to !
open a direct communication by railway, with the rich and fer* |
tile counties of Houston, Baker, Lee, Randolph, Kurly, and
others, ami thus furnish them with a speedy and cheap transit
j lor their produce to our Atlantic market Can any one object
,to the project ? I* it not altogether desirable to every interest,
uim! entirely practicable ? We regretted ihe failure of the Flint
and Ormulgee Railroad. We should have rejoiced to have
seen the enterprise crowned with success. But the project j
hup failed, and in nil probability can never be resuscitated.—
| We how make ad appeal to the good sense and practicul judg
ment, of those who were interested in that undertaking. An
l egfess from the counties boidering oh the Flint, to the Allan
j tie is most desirable. Os this fact they ure all agreed. If on”
mode cannot be obtained, let them resort to another. Bv giv
| ing up old predilections which cannot be realized, and by n !
; concentration of mind, inclinations, energies, and means, a com- |
I munication w ith the sea-board can be effected tw every way !
1 practicable. Cannot this concert ot action be obtained ? We :
; have no doubt ol it. And in order lo eifect it, this proposition
j is submit led.
To edifv th l * people of Southwestern Georgia upon the sub
ject ; to give them dll tin* light they require; to inform them ;
i where and Imw the road i* to bo built; whnt Savannah and ;
, Macon are disposed to do; and what will be required of them; ,
• it is proposed that a convention be held iu Americas, on the
4th Wednesday in the present month, (April 29) and that all the
I counties, through which the contemplated road is to pas?', will
. send (not five delegates) but us large delegations as cun be oh- !
{ Iniued.for the larger the numbers the more light and mind will
be elicited. We are assured that Savannah will he represent
'd, and (lint Bibb will send h delegation composed of old and
experienced friend* of railroads. I el our Southwestern friends •
j he up and doing, lend their aid and Influence, and it is then but
’ to will (he w oik, to have it accomplished.
Mastodon Cotton.
We have seen a I iter fiom a Merchant in in
which he speaks of the prices of our staple, and in refeiem c
lo the Mastodon, he stys, “it is selling at 15 cents, fth ch L !
about cents more than other prime Upland Cotton* wili
bring in this market.” Our Planters should recollect that
this Colton is as easily raised, and as productive as any oth
er, arid that the genuine setd may be oltained in this city ol !
A. J. White & Cos.. Hardeman <U Hamilton, Rof* & Broth
ers, and perhaps some others. The Cotton referred to panic- |
ularly in the letter, was raised iu Crawford county, by two I
Planters, Messrs. Tickin and Corbin, who seems lo be near
| ly the only ones in this vicinity, that have given it much Qt- !
tention.
Taylor’s Colton Gin*.
We would refer our readers of the Cotton-planting interest, (
to ihe advertisement of E. T. TaTlor Cos., of Girard Ala.
VVe hive seen a Gin of their manufacture nt the Ware-House j
! of N. Omley, in this city, which any one interestt-d can exam- !
;me for himself. It is in our view, an elegant piece of machine- j
| ry- mu I we trust will receive the ?a Motion of those more com
petent than ourselves, lo judffe of it# mertfs, for the use for
! which it is designed. One of Ihe partner* in the concern in j
which the*e gins are manufactured, ip Mr. lerut I K. Drown, !
and ice know there is much mechanical genius in that family, ‘
which a majority of ibis community, also well kuuw.
Tins Lite GlorioiiA Victory.
Our fear# have all been dissipated, and our most sanguine
hopes realized. “Old Rough and Ready,” although hemmed
1 in by a force outnumbering him four to one. Ins not only extri
cated himself bv a masterly retreat, which is the very belt te?i
I of generalship; but b> a move offensively made, has in apitch
| ed battle, with all the odds rfgiimt Him, and contrary to the
’ advice and counsel of his officers. Hiked a fight and achieved
, a victory which will win for tbe American arms, and his own
! fame imperishable renown.
The victory, glorious ns it is, has been dearly bought. The
: killed and wounded, of which an uncommon proportion were ;
1 officers, number according lo the most authentic accounts, u-
J bout seven hundred ; and while the country rejoices at Ihe sue- [
! cats of our arms, Wailiffg nud mourning are (tie unwelcome!

COMXI'I I CATER,
Mr. Editor.—l have been urged by responsible eili/.eui, j
i to muke a public reply to tbe false reports so frequently put {
m circulation concerning tbe use of Ibe vapor of Ether and j
its con sequences; ami have a-* often refused; fearing that a
I party feeling might be made to exist, where I had hoped no ,
occasion would ever be presented lo create a difference of so
: grave a character.
Sir i Iruve been pdt in possession of statements; emanating
from a source I had least suspected; efatemei ts too, in which
every word speaks out in tones, that savor alone of envy ami |
j jealousy, and ure no doubt tbe sole cuuses of such absurd aud
malicious remarks!
What sUall we think of the following :—“That the Letheon
originated frofn a poison taken bv Hindoo women on tbe fu- i
oeral pile of tlfelr iiusbands, to prevent their agony when the
fl-iiiies should surround them , and “that if We now inhale !
it we shall lay the foundation for a future disease, though Ihe
effects may not at first he perceived also, “that in many
instance# it produce* fits, menial derangement ami delirium,
and, “ that its u*e should be confined exclusively to persons
of great practical skill, ami if entrusted to th* hands <jf ,
any in a erty like this, u should le to suclr ns lia*l hren tin*
longest a resident, aud not to any youngsters w ho might chance
to apply ”
Sir, these statements have been made, and many individu
! nl* have been told; after an inhalation ol the “Vapor,” under ;
| my instructions that they were poisoned, and would soon be
’ Oiue iiißuiacM ;or within a few weeks, months,or years, wquM
be attack *d by a disease for more fonifniabl* than bad eve
* -ourged anv nation under heaven. What am I to say when
1 an individual thus informed, returns to my office in a rage sn.i
*ave, “How dare you recommend to the world that which i#
I prove my ruin and has even now planted within me Hie seeds
;of a malignant disease ?** My desire would have been to re
main silent, hut now, by (lie lugh eafeem due to the Inventor.
| and his aids in the hospitals ot tl i* cc untry and England—bv
the sarrmlness of inv wonl en*l the pledges of my patrons, 1
| call on this community to|decidc wherein rtich statements and
have originated sml existed, and for what
cause the most fault-finding individual in the wor 111 Could have !
for their propagation! I have said that qnvy and jealuu-y
had no doubt called forth unjust remarks.
We should not have been su willing to believA this ; ifn/i
----! other In.l not applied with so much coal nud earnestness for
the Ijethron, sml tailed , flor w6uld we feel so confident of its
success, if |jr. .Mm ton and his agents in tin* country had noi al-
I ready given it to more thin ten thousand persons, without one •
serious accident occurring in consequence: and knowing this
| to be a fact, (notwithstanding the reports of Northern papers.) ,
! am now induced to defeuJ it in preference to certain friend
ships and formalUirs.
We do not sa v that, like the once fabled’ waters of a staler
State, those who take the Killer arelobbrnm in perpetual
, youth, nor that from thence they will derive immortality ; but ,
wbat we ns its ftienda do say, is, that persons using ll in cases ,
j of severe and critical operation* are as likelv, nay more likely j
lto recover than those who do trot. It prorenfi all struggling ’
! on the pat of the patient and avoids Ihe shock or the knife ami ,
