The conduct of tile Hungarian peas antry affords some striking evidences of ihcdau- <;,>:• of that iguoratice in which the ruling classes have deemed it wise to keep tins laboring popu lation. The first statement of tile ..xeeS-te* ot tlie peasantry, which appear so incredl.de, have heeu confirmed by subsequent statements, t lie Glotio states that “vulgar belief ill iir.iuy places is, that the "overmuent, desirous ot diminishing the num ber oi tha people, have bribed tlie doctors to ud minister poison. This story, lio doubt, took its origin from the fumigations and the use ot chlo rate of time (the advantage ol" which was lucom- 'ireii. it obit- to the ignoraul.) and from the novel rhariteter of tho disease, and especially Uio au- guish aud convulsions oi the patients, 1 lit: ac tivity. iu many places of foreign physicians, who have been anxious to icaru tha nature ot the dis ease, Inis given u new shape to tile delusion, and persuaded the people that there is a body o! the missionary poisoners who are sent forth by a di recting committee. The favorite notion is that the directing committee is iu England, uml that tlie invention of poison originated with the i'.n- gb-h in India. Absurd as this delusion is, it is iu its consequences most serious, not only as to tno crimes to which it has given rise, but because it frustrates the exertion of medical skill to cure tho disease, and prevents the precaution which might check its progress. It affords one of the many instances of the obstinate character that die most groundless delusions may assume where die liberty of the press does not exLt, uml where the restraints imposed by the governments ou the freedv.m of speech and writing raises a presump tion of fraud against even their most salutary acts."
