riondly to the elect
Presidency, and the
a, of Virginia, to the
Anti-Tamff Meetings.—Wo publish to-day
the resolutions of a large assemblage of people
at Athens, on the 1st instant, in opposition to the
tariff policy. The meeting was respectable as
much in the intelligence and weight of character
of those who composed it, as iu the number, thus
congregated from every part of the State, with
out any reference to State politics parties or any
local divisions. These being entirely lost sight of,
the discussions which took an extensive range
even on preliminary questions, naturally assumed
that unreserved freedom of communication, well
becoming those who had met to consult without
any alloy of minor motives, on a great matter in
which all felt a deep and common concern. The
constitutionality, nnd even the expediency of a
protective tariff was advocated in debate, but re
ceived little support, perhaps we might more cor
rectly say no support at all. Indeed we recollect
no occasion where the public opinion appeared to
approach more nearly to a perfect unanimity than
tm this ; that a tariff of protection is an unconsti
tutional and oppressive encroachment on the free
dom of labor, and if persevered hi, must ultimately
sap the foundations of Southern prosperity. The
great question that addressed itself to all, and
pressed with a painful weight on the attention of
the most considerate portion of them, was, how to
■correct the evils of the time without increasing
them ; how to do at once, justice to ourselves ami
to our common country ; whether it were possi
ble, and in what way possible, as matters now
stand, to vindicate a violated constitution without
breaking it. The question in these and other
forms, or in conversations that implied it, was to be
met nt every turn. Every couple, and every little
circle of people, accidentally together in the walks,
the streets, the rooms and piazzas, from the first
day of the exercises, were to be seen discussing
the subject with an anxiety of countenance, and
seriousness of manner, nnd depth of tone that in
dicated the profoutidest interest. And this was
natural with such men ; and on these, the hopes of
the country must always rest. They felt we pre
sume, that the freedom of labor was a principle
that can never be abandoned ; blit they felt also,
that the constitution of the country and the integ
rity (ff the IT’niftn must he preserved.
There were some Missionaries of Nullification
who labored previous to the meeting, with the zeal
usual to all propagators of a new faith. Their
vocabulary of commonplaces is various ami catch
ing. They lmve such words as' “Courage!” “High
daring!” “Chivalry!” for the hot-blooded ardent spi
rits. And “ Liberty or death!” and “ Death before
•dishonor !” and the like, to suit your deep tragedy
vein. The phrases of “ passive obedience,” and
of* “Submission men” arc to frighten such ns are
afraid of being called timorous; and then “ Resis
tance” is a very convenient Delphic ambiguity, to
bo interpreted according to the fancy and temper
of the hearer. Such sparks ns these caught oc
casionally, but were ineffectual with the more cool,
reflecting ami dispassionate part of the people.—
.‘Some set their faces against such extremities, it
may he presumed, from an habitual love of the
(Union; others, we know, from a horror of civil
war, or any tiling which tended to it. The gov
ernment hud taken many years to arrive at its
present avowal of the permanent protective pol
icy, and they, on their part, resolved to take a little
time, not indeed to determine on opposing it, for on
ibis point their minds seemed made up to a man;
but to consider well, how, anil in what manner it
was wisest to approach that ground that might have
to be maintained with blood, or abandoned with
dishonor. There were others who suspected the
ultimate designs of Mr. Calhoun, the leader of
Nullification, and enemy of Jackson; and others
again, who seemed to feel sc.mu little distrust of
other leading men of South Carolina; recollec
ting as they said, that when some of the first pen
in Georgia opposed tiio usurpations of the general
government, v/e were contemptuously told by the
aforesaid loaders, that our opposition arose from
our want of talents to aid in conducting the high,
affaire ot a consolidated government; sonic oppos
ed the doctrine for one, and some for several of
these reasons, and some others, perhaps, for all of
them and more. Rut all this was previous to the
meeting: no one advocated them in the debate.—
We happened not to he present when the final
vote was taken, on the resolution, but we arc told
they passed by a great majority.
The meeting at Lexington* on Friday last, we
learn was also large nnd respectable. Wo have
not yet been able to procure a copy of the resolu
tions of that meeting, but they are said to be simi
lar to those at Athens, hut with this startling sup
plement ; that Georgia will support any other State
in such measures as it may take against the 'La
ver honor their repealed changes may reflect upon
their candor, it cannot hut dimmish by so much the
credit of their judgment; and Georgia maybe
well excused if she now somewhat distrusts their
infallibility. With perfect good will towards our
sister State, to whose unsteadiness wo have re
luctantly adverted, we for our own parts, would be
t willing to meet her in counsel, and to concert with
I her and others the mode nnd measure of relief:
but wo could never consent to pledge ourselves
beforehand blindly to follow her lead ; much less
to send her an irrevocable letter of attorney to de
clare war for us at her pleasure and discretion.
The piddling detail and the unavoidable mistakes,
uncertainties and confusion that must over follow
from a minute specification of duties, has always
struck us as no small objection to this absurd un
natural attempt to legislate on trifling objects.—
The idea is strikingly and pleasantly illustrated in
the following authentic extract.
L\u r Protection.—The following quotation
fr°m Gninpbell’s alphabetical iirrnrigenient of the
present Tariff, exhibits one of the ridiculous results
of mixing up specific and ad valorem duties, nnd in
cluding articles made *• wholly or in part ' of a giv-
material. Nothing hut a plain, simple, ad
valorem duty on nil manufactured goods can deliver
our business Irom embarrassment and our statute-
books from such nonsense as the following :
“ Dolls, jointed, undressed—the head, neck, body,
legs, arms and hands, being of wood, and the face
shaped with phiister of Paris painted,—thirty per
“Dolls, wav, ttmlressetf, the body, legs, feet and
part of the arms, shaped with a piece of cotton
cloth stalled, the hands and part of the arms sha
ped with kid leather, also stutlfd ; and the head,
face, neck, and breasts, made of wax, painted,
with glass eyes, and something in imitation of hair
on the head, twenty fire per cent.”
This last doll is “ manufactured wholly or in part
of cotton"—“of leather” nnd “ of glass—and “of
hair ;” or at least of something in imitation of hair
We should like‘tii know by what rule in cyphering,
the duly on this mixed animal was ascertained.

Dear Sins.’—From the manner in which this pc.*
tilencc, not inaptly called the BLACK PLAGUE,
is spreading through this part of the United States,
there can be little doubt, that iu due time, the
South will receive a visit from it. With this be
lief it becomes your people to be prepared for it.
Lot them begin in time, and let them act with de
cision and energy, and, we may hope that you will
escape as Edinburg did. Over that city the des
troying angel passed, but lell comparatively few
evidences.of his presence. Why was this? has
been often asked. Because the Medical police of
the city divided it into districts, appointed superin
tendents of these districts, whose special duty it
was to visit every family within their districts, dai
ly, making particular and minute enquiries, as to
the existence of diarrluen, or sick stomach and
head-ache, and, where these premonitory symp
toms were found to exist, to administer the proper
medicine forthwith. This is said to be the whole
mystery involved iu the comparative exemption of
that city from the ravages of this terrible scourge.
It appears to mo that you will be doing your
readers a great kindness, by publishing in the
Journal the enclosed papers.
neighbor to follow, or a fi-ieml' to mourn. Sucli
Conduct is discreditable, to the character of a Christ
ian people. \Ye trust that ive shall not again have
to complain of similar indifference to the perfor
mance of the duties of charity and humanity .
lo the members ot the .Medical Profession, nnd
particularly Us younger members, we willingly
award 'due credit for their attention and diligence,
under circumstances of no usual difficulty. °
We would again most earnestly entreat our cit
izens not to neglect lo apply for medical aid the
moment Diarrhea, or sick stomach and head-ache
take place. \Ye have not yet known one instance in
tyhich the disenso in its malignant form, was not
preceded by one or more of these symptoms, for
some hours, if not days; anil we have not seen or
hoard of a single instance where these premonitory
symptoms were properly attended to, an attack was
not prevented. It cannot be too strongly or too
ollon impressed upon the minds of our citizens,
that Cholera, in its early stuges, is easily cured ;
but that when neglected, in a majority of eases, no
human aid w ill avail. Almost all the deaths have
occurred in persons of intemperate habits, and of
broken constitutions. A few estimable citizens
have fallen victims to it; but these were either
aged and infirm, or bail neglected the premonitory
symptoms, or had tampered with medicines, with
out proper advice.
To our constituted autlmrities wo would recom
mend the most assiduous attention to cleanliness
in our streets, along our wharves and docks, to our
citizens, strict attention to cleanliness in their hous
es and persons; to pay duo attention to dress, avoid,
exposure to the night air, and observe strict tem
perance, not only in DRINK, but in FOOD. Wo
would caution them against the free use of iiiiit,
RIP E or UNRIPE, and the employment of Glau
ber or Epsom Salts as rnifflicines. Several cases of
Cholera have been brought on by their operation.
If due attention be paid to all these precautions we,
have every reason to hope that the epidemic will
soon cease to prevail among us.

Thn following able and interesting report was
made by the Medical Staff of Albany, to the Boiwd
of Health of that city on Wednesday, Ifc’th July.
HEALTH OF THE CITY.
In presenting to the Board of Health the follow
ing tables, showing the bills of mortality of this
city from the 22d ult. when the board directed the
deaths to he recorded, up to this day, wo deem it
our duty to make some remarks i '.ative to the
health of the city during the above period, and like
wise iu relation to our future prospects, and the
measures avo consider useful to accelerate the de
parture of the pestilence from among us.
We stated in our last report to the hoard, that
immediately prior to the breaking out of the epi
domic, our city was unusually healthy. Until
about the hJOth of June, few diseases prevailed, and
the mortality was lcs3 tlian common. From the
22dofJune to the 3d of July, only 11 doathsoccur-
rod—of those, G wore children. In a population
of 20,000, an average of less than one death a
day for near two weeks, indicates a degree of
health almost without a parallel. From the 30th
ot June to the 3d of July, not one single death was
reported. It avus, however but the calm which pre
cedes the storm. All other diseases gave way lo
the silent but irresistible march of the epidemic.
Although but few deaths took place from the
20tli of Juno to the 3d of July, there was consider
able sickness; and experienced physicians lorsnw
the coming danger, in the usual prevalence of di
arrhea, and common cholera morbus—hence it was
that your hoard was urged to make all ready'—to he
prepated with hospitals, physicians, nurses, &c.
and to this timely warning and the preparations
made iu consequence, we may, under Providence,
attribute the limited ravages of this fell pestilence.
On the third day of July, the Epidemic assumed
its malignant and characteristic torin. From that
time until now, it has maintained i's residence
among us. For tlicv first week it gradually extend
ed, and during the second it has been rather sta
tionary—the number attacked varying a little from
day to day, am! but little.
it is now a fortnight since the first deaths took
place. The number of cases reported within that
period is 21.1, and tue deaths 72—or a little over
1-4 of the whole, it must however ho reco'lected,
that during the same time hundreds had been at
tacked with Cholerine, or the slighter influences of
of the epidemic. None of these have been report
ed, because In/1iiuell/ aid, the disease, in its wore
formidable shape, nuts prevented. We can, avo be
lieve, say with truth, that few have entirely escaped
the influence of the disease.
From n consideration of all the circumstances con
nected with this visitation of Providence, wo think
that our citizens have great cause for thankfulness,
that wo have thus far suffered so little. Compared
to our neighbors of Canada, we have suffered less
than we had cause to anticipate. The disease has
been among us lor a fortnight; has passed all over
tlie city, and iu one form or other lias effected more
or less’of all-classes, and yet the deaths have not
much exceeded five in a day, whilst at Quebec and
Montreal, in a population not much exccecding
ours, the deaths some days exceed one hundred,
when the disease had not been so long among them
as it has h’Fni u'Hh its. From the history of the
disease in other countries, and the circumstances
connected, with its progress in this city, we would
fain indulge the hope, that it has already spent its
venom, and that avo shall ere long be tree from it
entirely. For the last two days, notwithstanding
the number of cases reported, and the high state
of inortuUity, we are inclined to believe that we see,
in the character ot the prevailing disease, indica
tions of returning health.
We have as yet, had no cause to change our
opinion respecting the nature of the prevailing dis
ease—wo consider it essentially Epidemic. It
continues to attack people in different parts of the
city, and had not. .been traced from one person to
another, as might" have been done wore itsprogrc:
dedendent on contagion. It is true in some lion
cs, several persons lia\ r c been attacked ami died ;
Cram the Baltimore Republican, of July 'id.
Cholera.—Our citizens generally, will, we aro
sure, derive a pleasure with us, from a view of the
lact, that the disease with which the city of New
York has been so greatly afflicted is decreasing iu
its ravages. From the reports this morning pub
lished it will ho sc m that both the number of new
eases ami the mortality is much less than for some
time past; and we sincerely hope that it will soon
totally disappear, anil leave the citizens of Now
York in the enjoyment of their usual degree of
health and prosperity.

From the .Missouri Republican, July 10.
The steam bout Ykllimv Stii.vf, A. II. Rennet,
master, arrived here on Saturday last, nller a voy
age of three months ; to the month of the river
Yellow Stone, distant 2000 miles up the Missouri,
carrying the goods to the traders employed by the
American Fur Company, and bringing back a rich
anil full cargo of lhrs, peltries nnd buffalo robes.
In this voyage tin: Yellow Stone ascended the
Missouri 700 miles farther than in her voyage last
year, thus proving to tlio satisfaction of the Coin-
pnnv the entire practicability of steam navigation
in that upper region. Wo are informed by capt.
Bonnet, that lie Ion ml as much water ill the Mis
souri, at the mouth of the Yellow Stone, us was at
the mouth of the Missouri when he passed up—
and to all appearance, lie could have gone much
higher if necessary. Indeed the navigation above
the mouth of tlio Yellow Slone nppeured to be
less difficult; there being ito snags. Sand bars
were plenty inn these abound from the mouth to
the source of the Missouri.
Tlio enterprise will no doubt grcntly add to our
trade and intercourse with the Indians, and sub
tract from that of the British trader. There is
nothing, wo arc sure that ceuld’liavc excited n
greater degree of surprise among the wild inliab
itants of the Missouri tlmu the appearance among
them of a high pressure steamboat, moving majes
tically against tlio current as if (so it would seem
to them) impelled by some supernatural agency.—
Many of tlio Indians who Imd been in the habit
of trading with the Hudsons Bay Company, declar
ed that the Company could not longer compete
with the Americans, and concluded hereafter to
bring all their skins to tlio latter; nnd said, that
the British might turn out their dogs nnd hum their
sledges, ns they would he no longer useful while
the l-'ire Boat walked on the waters. \Ve are in
formed by Capt. B. that thousands of the natives
visited the bout, were very friendly, and invited
him to several toasts prepared in honor of the oc
casion.

TURKISH TREATY.
1 lie documents relating to the negotiation of tfte*
treaty with Turkey, which were called for by Con
gress, have been published. They nra interesting
Slate I nper*. Itseems from these, that the efforts
of the late Administration, to negotiate a trenly, an-*
tircly failed. The French have a treaty with tho
Ottoman Forte, which has been long iu 'existence,
stipulating that merchandize in vessels of France*
■hall pay a duty of three per cent. The Forte de
manded of the Americans a duty of five per cent.—
The late Administration required that the Ameri
cans should he placed on the footing of the most’
favored tuition. This jLlio Porte declined, and the*
negotiation was broken off. When Gen. Jackson
came into office, the negotiation wns renewed, nnd
he succeeded in obtaining what had been refused to
his predecessor ;—nnd we venture to say, that every
candid person who roads the documents, will admit
that this concession was obtained in consequence of
the more manly nnd elevated course pursued by this
Administration, in the affair. Mr. Clay suffers
much, by comparing his instructions with those of
Mr. V an Buren, on this subject.

ineffectual attempts to decide the motion, the pre
amble and resolutions alluded to wore read at the
request of the Chairman, by Judge Berrien, who,
in his usual able and masterly maimer, advocated
their passage—which was finally effected by a
largo majority. They arc as follows :
Whereas the people of Georgia, as well in pri
mary assemblies of citizens in their respective
counties, ns-by their representatives in the Legis
lature thereof, have repeatedly anil solemnly de
clared the several acts laying duties on imports (in
so far as such acts transcended the purposes of re
venue, and were designed for the protection of ma
nufactures) to bo unjust, oppressive and unconsti
tutional, and have solemnly announced their deter
mination not to submit to such unlawful exactions,
and their consequent resolution to resist them, if
after a reasonable time they should not be repealed.
And whereas the good people of this State, and
otiiers having common interest with them in this
hut this only shows that similar causes produce matter, have looked lo the period of the payment
similar effects in individual.- placed in like circuiq-1 of the national debt as that at which the income
Stances —all wore equally exposed to tho local and : raised by taxation should he reduced lo the sum re-
,’cncrnl causes which engender this disease. Tho quired by the wants of the government, by duties
disease mily under certain circumstances be con- 1 fairly imposed upon all the imports of the t nitcd
tagions, but no very striking instanco of the kind States, and have expected from tho justice of that
lias yet come lo our knowledge iu this city.
We cannot reprehend iu too strong language, |
the cold hearted and inhuman conduct of many ot
our people, to tlio unfortunate victims of cholera.
They are too often abandoned to their fate, even
their friends being afraid to do to them the ordina
ry offices of charity. Were they laboring under
the plague of tlio Levant they would not be looked
upon with more dread. All this is lolly. 1 lie risk
of taking tliu disease from tho sick is little or noth
ing ; much more is to he dreaded from fom air by
which the disease is engendered. The first cure
of friends should bo, not to run away, but to take
the sick into more healthy anil airy lodgings.
Wo would also protost asainst tho indecont
baste will, which tlio scarcely coliUemain^e^ the
CoiiHTfss which has just closed its session, a re
peal of those obnoxious laws :
And whereas this reasonable expectation has
been disappointed, and the protection of manufac
tures is now avowed ns a permanent principle of
federal legislation:
He it therefore resolved, That wc, as free citi
zens of Georgia, will not longer submit to a sys
tem of legislation, which is arbitrary, unequal, un
constitutional, and therefore unjust—that it bo re
commended to our fellow-citizens in tho several
counties, to elect delegates to u State Convention,
to assemble at Miliedgeville on tlio ‘id Monday iu
November next, and to invest them with full pow
er, in behalf of the good people of Georgia, to
maintain, preserve and defend the rights and privi
leges of the free citizens of this tttatt^
has brought letters from the head quarters of Major
General £cott,of the army of tlio United States, the
contents of which are of an exceeding inelanchol*
ly character. Of tho troops onboard of tlio steam
boat Sheldon-Thompson, winch left Detroit, with
the General his staff, nnd the advance companies of
the army, on the 5th instant, twenty five had died
of Cholera, and sixty more were on the sick list, up
to the litli inst. Sixteen died before the arrival of
the boat, on the liltli at Chicago. They were of lie-
cessity committed to a watery grave. Five of the
officers, Captain Galt, & Lieutenant McDuffie being
of the number had been nttuckcd by the Cholora, but
were convalescent, and believed to be out of dan
ger. Much of the sickness among the troops may
be attributed to excessive fatigue, extreme warm
weather, and tlfeir unavoidably uncomfortable situa
tion on board a steamboat. The prompt movement
of the troops from different points and the despatch
with which tlio general orders have been executed
cannot but excite our admiration. The troops sta
tioned at Old Foint Comfort, received their orders
to march on the 121st of June, on thel2*-2d they were
in motion, and on the evening of tlio fourth of Juiy
reached Detroit, having travelled from 12 to 1,500
miles iu the space of 12 days, without the loss ot a
single man by desertion or otherwise, and being all
in irnod health at the time of their arrival here.
'I’lio detachments from the South, moved under
the superintendance of Colonel Eustis and Major
Paine ; the trops from Now York under Lieut. Col’s.
Crane and TwiggH. The whole force arrived in
Detroit, consisted of six companies from Old Point
Comfort; one from Baltimore; two companies of
Artillery, and a detachment of 200 Infantry from
New York.
The six companies from Fort Monroe embarked
on board the Sheldon Thompson at this place on the
5th, in apparently perfect health. The Henry Clay
was at that time taking iu wood.
The Sheldon-Thnmpson with Gen Kcott, went
ahead. On her arrival at Fort Gratiot, although the
men on board, were in good health, yet in conse
quence of the alarm occasioned by the few cases
which bad occured on board the Henry ClayJ pre
vious tc her leaving Detroit, and being much crowd
ed, Gen. Scott, thought it expedient to leave two
companies from Sheldon-Thonipson, at Fort Gratiot.
'Flie Sheldon-Thompson then passed on towards
Mackinac, at which place she arrived on the evening
of the7th, having on board four Bick, but nothing
to induce the beliefthat they were cases of Cholera.
They had been sick from 12 to 20 hours, and were
not alarmingly unwell when Innded at Mackinac.
In consequence of the rain that night, and having
to take in wood the boat did not leave Mackinac un
til the next morning, at which time, all on hoard
were perfectly well, nnd continued so until the
morning of the Dili, when several cases of the Chol
era appeared on board. On the arrival of the boat
at Chicago, on tho evening of the 10th, Gen. Scott
adopted every precautionary rneuns to prevent uny
intercourse between tho troops on board and those
already nt Chicago.
When the express left Chicago, on the litli
disease was believed to bo abating. As soon ns the
troops appeared, it was known that the Cholera was
on board, tho inhabitants fled in every direction,
eluding Col. Owens, the Indian Agent, who with
bis family, bad deserted bis post und was on his way
to St. Louis.
It is due lo the Executive of Michigan, as well
to the army, to acknowledge the promptness nnd
ficienoy with which every aid nnd facility had be
rendered by Gov. Forter to Mai. Gen. Scott, and
the Service. At 3 o’clock of the day of Gen. Scott
arrival in Detroit, the Governor despatchdd an ej
j press to Chicago, with letters to Gen. Alkinsot
ii answers were received by the return of
the express to the Hill inst. By this seasonable step,
(Sen. Scott, on ii is arriyal at Chicago, was made ac
quainted with tin* moveinents.and station of the for
ces commanded by Gen. Atkinson, from whom let
ters were received by Gen. Scott immediately on his
landing at that plnce.
A despatch from Gen. Atkinson lo Gen. Scott, da
ted the !)tli inst. Imd^been received by express ul
Chicago. The former supposed himself to be with
in 5 or (’> miles of the Indian enemy, llis force con
Misted of 450 regulars, and 2,100 mounted militit
and volunteers, including the detachment under tin
comm und of Gen. Dodge. The force of Black 1 lawk
consists of about 800 Indian warriors. (Jen. At
kinson entertained hopes of coming up with tii
enemy ; and such was the state ol the country, and
such tlie facility with which tho Indians could
change their position, that doubts exist as to the
final'success of tlio American General in subdu
and capturing them.
A letter from a staff officer, received in this c
gives reason to apprehend that Black Hawk, w
liis main body, had disappeared, leaving behind I
only bis old men, women and children. Gen. Bru
dy was expected at Chicago in a few days, with
view to obtain provisions and other supplies for tho
army undefGen. Atkinson.
Maj. Thompson.and Lieut's. (Jallalier, Clend
Izard and Wirt, with tlio two companies of tho 2d
which have for some time past been stationed ;i
Fort Gratiot, arrived in this city on Tuesday last, on
lus way to Chicago, by land. After a brief halt, they
resumed their march. Capt. Cobb and Lieut. Fat
ten, belonging to ibis comiimud, were loft ill at Fort
Gratiot.
We are indebted to the politeness of Gov. Forter
for the following extract of a letter from H. Atkin

“As yet the hostile Indians have eluded my pu

We should think ten dollars a week too small a

they may remember, that we had occasion in the

We took tho conceit, and the hypocritical barefa

well ; and if they had possessed the common feel
