THOM TUB WASHINGTON «lodr.
Through Mr. Calhoun’s organ, ( he Tele
graph) the public is informed 4 that if Mr.
“ Calhoun and hi* friends desired the elcc-\
“ tint of Mr. Clay, th re. would be no ne-l
*' eessity for bringing the. question before]
“ Congress, The influence, of Mr. Calhoun
** and his friends, cast into I he. scale of Mr
“ Clay's parly, would elect Mr, Clay by the.
“ people. ”
We dispute the power which Mr. Cal-)
hi>uri seems inclined to arrogate to limisell.
It is true he found himielf able locon'rol'
the v ttos of some of the S lulhcrn States in
(he Senate, and did lr,under what has been
design ated by public opinion, the CalU >tm
interest in that body, to wage the confede
rate ho <l l li!i<-k against the President, which
had be n concerted by Mr. Chy and hitp
self; but we deny (lie power of Mr. Calhoun
to (i ariiler the people ot the States them
selves, or induce them to subserve his pur
poses, hy b ing “ cast into the. scale of Mr,
Cloy V, party " —No—" Che influence of Mr.
Calhoun's and his friend* is egregioudy mis
cdculaied, if predicated upon the array
in oleos the Southern States under the
standard of opposition in the Senate. Mr.
Poindexter represented Mississippi —Mr.
M core, Alabama—Messrs. Miller Sr, Hayne,
South Carolina, in discountenancing and
dishonoring the President in the eyes of
foreign nations, and in the effort to bring
disgrace on the measures of his admimstra
tra’ioo at home. In this they tepresented
the feelings of Mr. Calhoun towards the
President, and advanced the purposes ot
Mr. Clay; but did they represent 'he feel
ings of the people in their respective S ales?
If we remember rightly, thase gentlem-n
were noi elected by the several 3’ate La
gislatui ei because they proposed in swell
"the influence of Mr. Calhoun and were
"Ins friends V The tlnee first named gen
tleinen obtained their election by giving
the most solemn pledges of their support to
the President.—ls either of them had given
the slightest indication of the hostility whit's
they have now manifested, and which no
doubt they then «»cre(iy entertained against
General Jackson, they never would have bad
it in their power to thwart his measures, and
the most important ineres'g of the country,
bv a league with Mr. Clay in the Senate.—
These gentlemen, therefore, said nothing to
the R presents ivea of the people of Ala
bama, Mississippi, and South-Caiolina, of
their preferences for Mr.. Calhoun, when
they sought their votes. They were J ick
son-men and nothing but Jack* m-men—bu
now whnt are si ice they have received
the trusi which their constituents cannot ie
cal ? They arc more bitter in their animosi
ty to the President, if it be possible, than
Mr, Clay himself.
We cannot, therefore, be too thankful to 1
Mr. Culouuu (or the intimation which ho 1
has vouchsafed, through his organ, • that the'
“ course of the Globe if sanction'd by Gen 1
" Jackson and persevered in. will tail in an
entire separation of Mr. Calhoun's'
•' friends from the support of the re-election
"of General Jack-on.'' II ne President is*
always to receive such maiks of friendship
as Mr. Calhoun has hnherto given him, he
must surely hi made happy, by any circum
stance which may re ieve him from it.
Mr. Calhoun was his friend, when he
heard that General J ickson’s soldiers were
bringing heir leader at the point of dead),
<n a lifer hrougti the swamps of the South,
on he termination of his Seminole Cam-j
paign; but he seized the occasion to escape
fcll tespon>ibili’y for the conduct of the war P|
as the Hoad nl the War Department, by
lodging in secret Cabinet Council, a nudum
tor a Court ol Enquiry on a General, who!
he expected was m his grave, for hiving
violated his orders and the Constitution.
He was his friend when he first availed
himself of the General*) popularity to reach
ths Vice Presidency, and yet it is now
known that he wag secretly understood by
Mr. Websier, to be pledged to the interests
and support nt Mr. Adams, in opposition to!
him. fie was his friend when he came into 1
power with ihe President, as the second of
ficer of the government, and yet if is now
known that he insiduously arid industriously
exerted tuembanass the administration, to
divide the Cabinet, and even to blacken the
character ot the Chief Magistrate by misre
presentations which he had conveyed to the
Governor of his native Stale. And we are
to suppose he is still his friend, after he has
openly leagued with die opposing candid ite
fur the Presidency, (or the direct purpose
ot defeating the hading measuies of the ad ,
ministration cm! the country—of destroying
the influence and character of die Head ol
the R public in the eyes ot foreign powers,j
«nrt‘of crippling and enfeebling the support,
in both branches of Congress, which the
people and the States intended he should
have in their Representatives.
After all this, Mr. Calhoun threatens that
il the Globe persists m its course, lie will
absolutely separate from the support of th* 1
President ! His followers will give, no
doubt, the same excuse. But, have they no
principles ? Is the course of a newspaper to
drive diem from the support ot dial to
w ueh they are pledged to (heir constitu
ents f
I’hero is one comfort which wc shall have
when the instruments and partisans of Mr
Calhoun renounce their Jacksonism. It is
liui they will then be no longer able to get
m o public trusts, upon the popularity 0 f
the President, the power of which they ne
ver t«,l m employ against him. Henceforth
v'e hope it will be understood that the Cal
Vnm Jjcksiiomen—that is. the professed
Xacksor.-inen under the influence of Mr. Cal-i
boon—are convened in o Calhoun-Clay I
men, or, a* (he organ would have if, «• cast
.into the scale of Mr. Clay's party."

1 EVEN HANDED JUSTICE.
Ihe following inciileni is related of
.fudge Brackeruidge, of Florida, and shows
the prnpric y of Waiting for the proper mo
ment, which most usually comes soon or
,1a e, of visiting upon tho wrong dour the
consequence ol his improper conduct •
A man of violent temper and quarrelsome j
disposition was plaintiff’in a suit before ths
Judge, while the defendant, a man of op
posite dnracter, was sued for having cut
oil a part of the tail of the others ox. The
evidence was somewhat contradictory, but,
in summing it up, the -fudge seemed to lean
on the side of the plaintiff, but observed
that it was the province of the jury to de
cide. It, however, they were of opinion
that die defendant was guilty, the mere a
mount of the injury was not the sole crite
rion of the damages, but they ought to take
into consideration the malice of the defend
ant, and add such sum us might operate as
a punishment, and thus deter others from
perpetrating similar ac's. The jury, per
. haps inclining ra'hor more to the defendant!
than was consonant to strict justice, found
f a verdict in his favor.
;j The plaintiff now appeared in a perfect
fury ; moved (or a new trial, aid employ- 1
ed the whole bar to plead for it. The Judge
listened with great patience to their learn
•d, earnest, and eloquent argument!, but
decided against the new trial, on ttie ground
that it was (he province of the jury to de
termine the question of fact, and lor other!
reasons which it i» unnecessary to repeal.
O.ie nit the reasons mainly relied on, was
'hat the verdict wa » given against the>
charge of his honor. Alter having decided,
tne question, the Judge, unexpected to anyi
•me, and io the surprise ot all, requestid
the attention of the plaintiff and the bar, 1
tor a lew in'imeuts, while he proceeded as
, iolloWS,, . . rV - . V | '
" An opportunity now offers to do jus
ice to the Court, which has been hitherto
delayed, Three years ago, the plaintiff in
the case which was just argued, was a party
to a suit io this cut brought byway ofi
appeal from a justice ol the peace. On that
occasion, under a plea of set ff, his de
mand was so reduced that (ho jury, were
left to their own judgment, without any
■ Inection from the cour, brought in aver
diet for two dollars instead often. A (no
tion for a new trial was made by the pre
sent plaintiff and ovenuled. The day as
t«r the adjournment of the court, this let-'
ter was handed to the Judge: s *
4 Sir, your partial and -wicked conduct!
in my trial, ha* been such that I had de
termined to inflict personal chastisement mil
you, but 1 though' it would be sufficient to|
|let you kuow what I think of your base and
jeorrupt behavior. You are a disgrace to
vour species and to human nature. Ymis,
&c. n
i “As (he law* of this territory have taken
from the Judge the power to protect his au
thority, except in cases of contempt, com
mitted in the face of the court. I was com
pelled to pocket the affront, together with
the letter, trusting in the just ways of Provi
dence, to bring about a lit season and time
ol retribution. You now claim a new trial
because the jury have refused to follow my
.directions, thus placing a higher value in
'the integrity and intelligence of the man
by you, than i,i twelve of your,
i neighbor*. I shall say no more, but leave
you to your reflections.”
1 Ihe piaiinitl retired in silence, and a
bashed, and it is said did not utter a word
Until he had mounted his horse, v/hen he
involuntarily exclaimed, •• Well, ’may be
the Judge is right.” The audience was
deeply impressed with die scene, and an
apprnbatiou, stronger than words, would be
read in every countenance.

IFctm ".»• Ck»rlcnoo Countr
Mr. Editor, —In the numbers of your va
; luable paper arrived this week, I am sorr-.
to see you, wi h others, ad vocation the con
lagious character of the Cholera Morbus
which has been raging in Europe fur th«
past eighteen month* —Fully convinced
that the systems now in force for its pre
tended prevention of introduction into this
coontiy are useless and injurious, and hop
ing that it may be proven satisfactorily, not
to he contagion*, and that it cannot be corn
municuted by inanimate objects. 1 trust no
lapology is necessary for ottering this corn
i munication to you or your numerous rea
ders.
1 am perhaps, »,r, the only American who
has had an opportunity of treating the Spas
. m °d r Cholera Morbus , anil having expe
rienced more than one attack of it in the
i city of Warsaw last summer, I may froml
,these circumstances alone, be entitled to at!
i least the expression of rny opinion on this'
subject, vhich now interests the civilized;
‘vorhl. concise history of its progress
its mortality, &r. in Europe, was published
in some of the daily prints upon my arrival
, m this country from the wreck of unfortun
i a,e Boland— the enclosed is a copy of that
communication.
In epidemics, we believe the animal e-
Conoitiy is exposed to a predisposii g and an
exciting cause, in certain districts, we are
predisposed to intermittent fever, from what
s termed miasm, a supposed change in the :
i A'r, °f waich we are still ignorant, and get- 1
ling wet. exposure to cold, &c. excites or
iHumin ites the attack. With respect to
the pietiisposing cause of ihe Cholera Mor-!
,aus as it exists in Europe, we have no posi-i
,tive information. What change takes place
in the atmosphere, or what is-its virus vbe\
know not, and cannot therefore either de
.stray or prevent if. Neither are we be ter!
informed as to the predisposing causes of
| ither j pidnnics the Measels, Yellow Fe
ver lull i i 2, i, The analogy still con
i inues when we consider the exciting caus
■ es • luj y «'« generally well ascertained and
( le fi.ied in «11 prevailing disease*. L-ioisl
’’ ,lle t. e ting of c Id slaugh, sour ernut,!
i * c ’ cou * we' fe*t, &c. are known to have
produced Cholic, or common Cholera Mor-!
bus ; much greater then must b - the effect!
j°t •hege cause* when there i* a predi-posi !
tion from atmospheric ii liuence We see'
at once by this the ditimeuce between the I
! co,nn,ou Cholera Morbus which we have I
every year more or less in his country, and
the Asiaiico Europe n Cholera. In the lat
ter there exists a cause t 6 which we are all
exposed—the glufton Diebifsch and the im
poverished Pole, (he passionate aud feroci
ous Constantine, a« well as the drunkon
Englishman at Gateshead.
) Hiat the disease under considerat.on,
however, is not contagious, that it ha* not
I been cornmunicai“j»—Lom person to person,
jor even by a certain sumething generated
by an individual laboring under it, can, I
ttnnk.be most satisfactorily proven. In
support of (his doctrine, we have negative
and positive facts.
If contagious, why has it not been im
pelled long ere this in n England and other
countries by their frequent in ercourse with
the East Indies ? All agree that it is the
Asiatic Cholera. C"uld the s u a arrest or
| destroy its progress ?— then it differs wide
jly from known contagious diseases, Ihe
hmall Put, the Venere-I, which have never!
yet been interrupted by land or ocean.
If contagious, why has it followed in a I
most regular mannet (he general laws of all ,
.epidemics? progressing from east lowest,
and governed by toe state of the weather.
I D .e* not the fact of fowls and cattle hav
ing been aff-cted by an epidemic in Poland
the year previous to the arrival of -he Cho
lera, prove an atmospheric ageuav ? Were
not even fish destroyed in the same manner
i It lakes of Prussia ? Has not
the Intluei za, then the Cholerine, and final
l y 'he Cholera M irbus, appeared succes
sively in many, if not ip all the large cities
|it Europe ? And if really contagious,
, oughi not ns rapidity to be increased, ought
tun iig extension to be greater, ought not
ihe number of cases have continued to au»'-
i me “' m Sickly populated places, & towns,
i Itß numerical increase of foci or points
of contagion ? Bit in Praga and Warsaw
for the first ten days, there were 1180 ea
ses. and thirty days afterwards there were
only 40, That ths number of cases varisd
wnh 'he state of tne weather, in Poland as
well as elsewhere, is certain and positive;
from ail the information and reports which
have been made. These, Mr. Editor, are
• s. me negative sac s little known, or at least
little commented upon in America,
For positive facts, we ought to rely upon
the testimony of those individuals of the
. medical profession, and upon them alone,
: who have studied and Treated the disease ;
, and not upm'ihe assertions of an Editor of
a London Qiartedy Review, neiiher upon
the decrees of Sii Henry Halford and the
(Council of Heal’h of London. They are
m-'ii who have never seen a case of Cholera,
1 nor have ever visited a place wheio it has
' existed. 1 hey are men too who contend
tor the contagion of Y. How Fever, without
(ever witnessing it, and in opposition to the
direct positive proof well known in the U.
States, that an individual labouring under
this atf.'Ciioii in New- Oilcans or Charleston
[taken into the country, never communicates
a simil r disease under any circumstances
! whatever.
1 he information derived from Etst Indi:
jP ra c’Tinners, and ihe reports made by coin
missions of physician* sent out to Ruisi
ami Po and, certainly afford the best ami
most correct, (I must say the only) way to
.decide this queition. Can any one deny
list (he great majority of East India phy
sicians arc not nou-contsgionists ? Thece
ebraied James Johnson has ever been sup
porting this doctrine in the public papers
•f London. And of all the medical gen-
Icrnen attached to the commissions se;ii by
Governments expressly to study the Cho
lera, I know of but Dig. A berg, (Prussian)
and Walker, (Englishman) who entertain
: even suspicions that it is contagious ; and
they ate unanimous in declaring it not to
1 be communicated by merchandize, cloth
ing, &c. Os the commission, civil and mil
itary from France, they have reported wi ti
out a dissenting voice that Ihe disease was
not contagious. Out of about 150 physici
ans of my acquaintance, (including Dr.
Searle, who hid practised 13 years in (lie
.East li,dies, Dr. Antomnsarchi tatephjsici
|an to Napoleon,) who were attached to the
[hospitals.of Warsaw and the late Polish Ar
my. I know of but one or two excepiions
to the belief that the Cholera was not con
tagiuus. Can all these men, Mr. Editor,
be deceived on a subject with which they
were so familiar, and to treat which many ;
had been expressly commissioned? if so,
then let ihe following positive facts speak
for themselves.
When the Persian Prince quitted the city
of Tabriz, the Choleia was earned along!
with his attendants, and continued to attack
five or six a day, for ten days; still nota !
[person of the villages through which they
passed or where they slept, took the disease.
[When the epidemic was raging in Moscow,
40,000 individuals left the city without per
forming any quarantine, and yet not one case
[was transferred by them to other places. In
no quarantine whatsoever; has the disease
occurred. Ships at sea without ever
having touched at ih« ports where the spas
jfnodic Cholera has existed, have been affect
ed by it. Nurses and physicians in daily
attendance on the Choleric have still con
tinued to enjoy an immunity from the dis
ease—neiiher was their visits to families or
other patients marked by the appearance of
,it. One individual id a numerous family, a
few on ! y of a large city, have been sffeted.
[Washerwomen to the Choleric Hospitals
have been exempted from it. Dissections:
[have o’sn made wnh perfect security; nay,
[more wounds made While performing this
unpleasant, but all important investigation,
[hav® heau-d and without producing any sne-l
ctfi.c iff ct. My friend,Dr. Foy of Parisl
exposed himself in every possible manner to
tire Cholera while in Warsaw; he inhaled
the breath of the dying suff-rer, he put on
th# shirt and got into the bed of the dead pa
tient, he drank the matter ejected from his
stomach he even infused in o his own veins
the blood drawn from the Choleric—and all
this with only a .-light nausea and head-ache.
These experiments were in part repeated by
another friend Dr. Pinec, and with a simi-
Ur result,*'
If Facts Mr. Bilitor which I have
hastily drawn up since perusing vour paper
id the 28th, will not cff'ct the object for
which they are written, the abolition of all
restrictions oh commerce, and a change of
public opinion ; I conclude with the convic
tion of having performed a duty and claim
ing charity to b- lieve what I have seen and
what I have experienced —that the Asiatico!
European Cholera Morbus is not contagious
| and I defy the world io produce one authen
tic case where it has been communicated
!fr, m one individual to another, and still less
|t° have been transmitted by inanimate ob
jects. |

The famous Baron Trenck, it is known,
had an amour with Ihe youngest sister of
Frederick the grea*; and to this the unre
lenting barbarity of the king is commonly!
attributed. He escaped from Gla x, and[
took service successively with the Russians
and Austrians. Many years afterwards in
1755, as he was passing through Dantzie he
was treacherously given up to the Prussian
government, and was sent to the fortress of
Magdeburg. Here he was confined fur near
ly ten years, with circumstances of the most
aggravated cruelty. He was placed in a
damp dungeon, loaded with irons of sixty
,cight pounds weight, almost starved to
death, and finally, tortured by being waked
during his slumbers every half hour. This
overwhelming misery did not however break
his spirit: assisted by the pity of the soldi,
ers who guarded him, he contrived to send
letters to the Princess Amelia, and to others
of his friends. By these means he obtained!
money, with which he bribed the soldiers, to'
procure him files and other tools, as well a*
lighis, pens and paper. His various attempt
to escape are very curious, as well as the
herculean labors he w nt through in the'
progress of them. Suffice it to say, not one!
of them was successful; but that he wa3'
finally released, towards the end of the
year 1763, partly from the representations
to her brother of the Princess Amelia, and
partly in consequence of his having succeed
tl in bribing the imperial minister at Ber
lm, who demanded his liberty as an officer
d the Austrian service. He afterwards
passed a turbulent and discontented life;
rl ways engaged in law-suits and discussions
respecting the succession of his cousin.

FIRE !
About half an hour after midi ight the in.
I habitant of the lower part of i,be city, wem
i sro.used by the appalling cry of fire. I waa.
1 soon ascertained to be in the ex aosive five
» story Type Foundry on the corner ot John
■ and G ild street*, and owned by Messrs.
■ Hager (k Pell. The wind at 'he time was
■ blowing a gala from the North Eist, and the
i night one of the coldest we have had during^
• the winter. The fire companies were soon .
■ at work, and drawn gan abundant supply
i of water from the hydran's on the corner®-
of John and William-streets, and William
street and Maiden lane, succeeded, contra-•
ry to the expectations of many, in confining,
i the flames to the pile cf buildings in whuii
they originated. The loss of propery nius
have been great, as very little was got out
from either of the stores, except the one
above the basement. From this room a
large quantity of new type in pages, was
removed, together with account books, &c.
) Since the above was prepared, wo have
learnt the following particulars :
The fire commenced in the stereotype,
ifactory, in the third slory.it is believed
from a stove pipe.
It was fi'st discovered by three person*
who were at wwik in the fifth itory, casting
letter. These persons found the smoke in
creasing upon them *o fast that two made
their escape with much difficulty, rolling
themselves down (he stairs—one we are in
formed, fearing the retreat by the st
was cut off, made his escape out of a w
dow to (he adjoining building.
We learn Uiat the damage to the ster.
type plates,, ai d other articles on the sai
floor is estimated at 210,000. Mesrs. Ha
er Ik Pell were insured.
The second story was occupied by M
Haight, as an embossing establishment. The
loss of property on this "oor is large. We
have not been able to ascertain the amount*,
but understand it was insured.
The steam engine in the basement, waa
not injured.
By ibis accident, one hundred and fifty
persons are deprived of, present employ
'i aaenf.
,( We regret to learn that several person*
, were, injured by the melted lead from th»
upper lofts fulling on them.
About 5 o’clock this morning a fire brolc*
out in that den of infamy called Catharine
t Lane, running from Broadway to Elm
. street ; and it is wuh no regret that we aiat*
that almost every building on either side
is now a heap of ruins. The number of
front dwelling houses destroyed is from
twelve to sixteen, chiefly three story frames.
Perhaps noons can tell how many families
,'or individuals resided in this wretched lane,
! but we p.fsume that not less than one hun
. dred and fifty, of all ages and color, hava
been driven into (he streets.
One or two men, belonging to Hook and
Ladder No. 4, were severely injured at the.
fir* in Catherine Lane, by the breaking; of a
ladder. 6
,| A store at Whitcsboro’, Oneida, was de
stroyed by fire on the 13 h intt.
•Another tire— About six o’clock thi®
morning, before the Engines had left Calhe
, r > n c Lane, another fire broke out in the old
two story building corner of Duane and
I Rose-streets, occupied by Peter E mp. as »
Grocery and Dwelling, which in a few min
utes wag enveloped in flames. It was en
tirely destroyed, as well as the adjoining
i two story house in Rose street, No. si,
occupied by the families of Messrs. Benson
and Pickering. The arrival of the engines
prevented any further damage. Boih build

The Centennial Anniversary.— Y *t*r
day will be ever m -morable in the annals of

the annals of the nation. The civic and mili
tary procession in honor of it, to which war
particularly refer, was the most imposing
and altogether (lie most curious and res
pectable, that has taken place, perhaps in
modern times. If the remains of Washing
ton had been the prize in a competi'ioo of
, effort throughout the land, to pay ihe rn st
zealous and signal homage to his memory,
they would, we think, have been alloted te

:nearly twenty thousand persons; it was be
i tween three and four miles in leogih; it con
i sumed upwards of 2 hours in moving steadily
i past any particular spot; it must have march-'
i ed about 8 miles; it drew forth to the streets,
Jor attracted to the windows, nearly the
