Ni'ure oyer- ( come by the shock of disease and previous f dissipation is unable to struggle, in the con- ( test and all our remedial efforts to estub- ( lish reaction in the prostrate energies of the ( liver end of the heart itself prove fruitless and unavailing. Gateshead, a village in ( England’crowded with drunken vagabonds, f is a"" glaiing instance of this fact, while the ( watchful police and good sober citizen* of ( New Castle, its opposite neighbour upon ( Tyne, escaped so mucli unhurt, as almost ( to defy its power., , Grief is also ranked among the depress- ( ing passions from the essential sympathy which exists between the mind and the whole animal eoccnomy. Hence to indulge in excessive grief is not only unmanly bin highly injurious to' the consTitution. But of all the exci'ing causes which operate 10 render an attack of this disease or any oth er most tatal, ft is the inglorious passion ot fear. Hence the very great mortality a snong the Turk# and Mahometans, who, pale and gh.nt'y, with quivering pulse and tuning eye-bills, look upon this modern plague as a frightful judgment sent ft 'Heaven to scourge them from the earth. !t must be also conceded that the body ol an individual dying ol fear and another ol spasmodic Cholera Morbu* w mid upon post mortem examination exmbit neatly the same (ealurea of morbid anatomy —a con gestion of venous grumous blood in all the veins of the whole system. As in both ca eea the immediate cause of death is ac knowledged to be the stoppage of the blood in die deep seated capillary vessels. James Johnson, on Tropical climates, says ihm the spatms which generally take place in all tevere cases of Cholera “ (he might have added, as well as primary or continued vomiting) can only be accounted for by the pressure which some nans of the nervous ays' m experience from,the unequal distri bution of blood i for it has been proved to a detnonslra iOn that the origin of those nerves leading to spasmed muscles have in variably the veins of their JVeurilima in a congested slate.” The idea that mgesta is an efficient cause is now exploded, as the abstemious ami the luxurious the moralist and the inti lei, the virtuous ami the vile, the infant and die adult, of all ages and aexes are alike victims to (his fell den rover i It stands confessed then, that as all Ihi atmospherical phenomena coming under the head tA occasional causes have existed with out interruption from Mme immemorial with out generating spasmodic Cholera Morbus ; conseqoendy the supei addition of a neu tame must be inferred, SYMPTOMS, The most important consider, tion which involves this subject is a clear and com prehensive nan a ion of he Symptoms which usher in this disease toge’her wi.h the best method of treating it. An accu rate detail of the former is derived from A i glo-Asiatic Reports from which we .shall make the following extract : " 'The in ist numerous cases exhibit an almost total sus pension of the vital functions, accompanied with a low thready pulse, laborious respira tion, dc*p drawn sighs, immediately follow ed hv severe spasmodic affections of the muscle* and coldness of the extremities without vomiting or purging J Again the attacks come on with a shiver, white crust ing of the longue, soon followed by frequent purging and griping, the stVds consisting of mucous and slime ; nausec and retching sum ecd. nothing being ejected bu* phlegm anil the contents ot the stomach, occasion ally pure bile ; viiuud taste, the pulse mnaj.l, quick and contracted, the skin dry but not hot, spasms supervene in different parte of the body which soon attack tiie ab dominal muscles and occasion great pain. .During these parox/ms, a cold, clammy »w-at it .occasionally fore d out, especially on the face and breast.

The corollary them follows ! ihut i* is a disease of debility and not of in ■ I flammntion .

We wait on these ap ■ | plications an hour or three quarters at least, > lili thorough inflammation or an slevntion 1 of- the Cuticle, arises from the local irnta -/ian of the sinapisms. Then and not till ./ken, we give from one to five and ten grain ■ idoses of Fipperiuc (the essential sdt ot | Black Pepper) in five to ten and fifteen i ,drops of K ixir of Vitriol di'uted per hour •/n order to excite th» pulse powerfully an! /dri-ve th • blood back to the skin.

The Pip peri ne and Elixir ot Vitriol should be giv n till thorough reaction takes place as these, articles appear to impart vitality toi the heart i'sulf, being much more sale ary; and permanent in their stimulant opeiaiionl than atcuhol and wine, these medicines after premising cataplasms of mustard when 1 all other tonics have failed, have cleaned the furred tongue, fortified'the stomach, and 1 dispersed the untoward symptoms in a short period. .Show me a common drunkard at- ' tacked with spasmodic Chelora, or with in termillenl fever, use the lancet 'Anti purga tive* with him freely, and he at once be comes a victim not only to disease but to the| Medical art. The ' vis medicatrix naturae”, ..f his feeble constitution is gone forever fy noi future skill on earth can save him. Some;] of these poor fellows are proof against plyal ism and even in 'his case we have seen the operative plan pursued to the death, because ' the prescribing physicians entertained an I unconquerable prejudice against this Inode t of practice which we now recommend to t the public. As for ourselves, we reject no peculiar method of managing diseases, we i are wedded to no parliculai school, but a dopt and embrace all as the symptoms de-'l niand and judgment dictates, llieirhepa-j tic viscera are as much exhausted by the] excessive exercise' of s'rong potations asi are the limbs of an individual who faints, under th< fatigue of continual running, Bui concent rate all the tbove remedies upon him •* <le novo” and instead of nausea, vomiting morbid vigiltnce, emaciation-, tlu-, pour and debility ; ym substitute vigorous appetites sound sleep, clear intellect, anJj -increasing lone to every fibre and-muscle of, his body—which before was the apt coun terpart of a condemned, worn-it lit merchant man which cod d not fafcai refitting.. Once raise his pulse to a high and even feverish standard, nature yields up (tie reins to your controul, and as in the dextrous manage ment of a lofty steed, you can either chafe ' its metal iffto more gallant bearing or cuib its fiery impetuosity by all the cool and gen ’ tie arts which you are master of in the mo ment of danger ! ' Sinapisms tianslate nervous excitability, as well as the mechanical pre'sure of the blood, from the stomach, the spinal, lum bar and sacral regions to the skin bv in flaming its cuticular arterial capilldries whose nervous papillae are far leso vital than those of the former organs now labor ing under venous turgesence. It is there fore through the nervous system that these applications ac' primarily and secondarily ' restore the balance of the ciiculation thro’ he medium of the vascular system of the ’ ru i.neo mucous-urfac* - Bile now censes to form in morbid quantities by the revulsive 1 inflammation ot me li'ypocondriac surfaces, * adding a tonic impulse to (lie torpid portal » and mesenteric circles. We repeat emptia * tically, that pnmising Cataplasms, Ripe * vine ami Elixir « f Vitriol, excite sooner Sj * sustain mure firmly than any other combi ' nation of tonics extant, that “ new, gene * ral and powerful" action of the system j " whose tendency is i« health, overcomi g land subduing the disordered action ".of ’ Cholera” whose course is to increased de * bility and death.” Great and judicious re 1 medies should aiwam be carried to the grea -1 tea ex cut, that a lasting and sanative es ‘ fee may be produced on the pestilence with i which we have to contend. . W( . As valuable.auxiliaries to these we would recommend small strong draughts of Cay ' eone pepper ea, hot coffee without milk oi ' sugar, salted corn meal gruel, ihe efferves 1 ing draught f Rive ius—salts of Tar ar & ■ vinegar—soda powders and ptisans of bar " lev Water, turnip tea, chickqn and beef tea, ‘at all of which serve to tranquil.ze the 1 stomach ; besides the hot bath, bottles ot * hot water to the feet and back, frictions i with camphorated spirits, spirits Hartshorn, I linament and a strong alcoholic solution of gum benzoin, to the spasmed muscles. I Some cases of our own Cholera, infantum and spasmodic, begin the attack wiih epilep tic &. appoplectic convulsions, which are ea sily known by the steitcrous breathing, in -1 sensibility to the touch, rolling of the eyeoall t| transversely &, full slow pulse, blood should foai once b>‘ d.awu freely from both arms or * from the jugular vein till animation and sen oation return perfectly, as the continuance i of these fatal symptoms would produce in 1 »tant death. Topical blood—letting with ! cups and'leeches would aiso be very irnpor * taut adjuvants. To prevent a relapse into . these congestions of the lungs and the brain i which are too weak to empty themselves or to repel the shock of venous blood which 1 overloads and compresses them without les i sening its quantity, the body and extremi ties should be covered with sinapisms, and t in ’he course of an hour drachm, doses of 'Peruvian bark with one grain of Pipperine I soould be administered every hour fill the ijcure is perfected. Again, Cholera attack* jt |s subj.-c s without spasms, paralyzing r.er pom sensation so absolutely that boiling | w.ica r a- d boi'mg spirits of Turpentine are j*ot fell by the pitie.nt when poured upon his amis anti legs, other ex'ernal applica tions being of no avail; we would here throw in large and repeated doses of Mer cury, combined with one to two and four (grains of Sulphate morphine so as to retain jit in the stomach and duodenum toproifuce jtmmediale salivation. This all pervading mineral either in the form of Calomel, Cor rosive sublimate, Blue pill and Turpeth mineral should now be the sheet-anchor of our hopes. It stimulates 'he engorged ca pillaries of the liver to new and powerful reaction, invigorates (he torpid circulation ot the whole lymphatic system, arrests ..vomiting, corrects vitiated secretions, de veloped nervous susceptibility to its own im pression and revolutionises the whole vas cular system in such masterly style as to |i fiVct in a short period the moat perfect ba lance us the circulation General debility, dyspepsia and nocturnal colliquitive sweats are often however, the companions and s«- cjuents of Ptyalism which should be avoid ed and remedied by the inhibition of 20 drops of diluted Elixir of Vitriol mixed, 20 grains flos. sulphur and pulverized ani mat charcoal three limes a day. There are simple'forms of Cholera again which scarcely require any harsher medi cines than broken doses of Epsom Salts & (Virginia snake-root tea, and one to two (grains morphine—or 60 drops Paregoric re peated and followed, a teaspbonful of pul verized Charcoal in lime water, a single dose of Calomel carried off'by Castor oi! or a Sed- Ictz powder made active by the addition of a teaspoonful of cremor taslar, or a mild enema of salt and water. These are easily managed by (hegoodand intelligent nurses of our community without the aid of a medical friend. The dial should be light & nourishing, hard boiled eggs & all lascessanl vegetables being avoided—such as [radishes, cabbages, &c. as the stomach is (too sensitive to letuin them and the gasfric juice too much impaired to dissolve and an finalize them properly. As it is impossible to embrace every variety of this disease in a single sketch, we would enjoin our pro fessional brethren, never, in any case, whe ther of this or any other affection, to " give out"’ h patient while there is breath in his nostrils! Particularly among infante and adults —because their situation when at the lowest ebb of life is .simitar to that of a : ship's crew, who are borne down to destruc i t.on by irresistible currents ; when sudden - • ly the “ young flood” arresis their impend . ing ruin, converting their despair, horror » and breathless, expectation into new life & ) hope and joy, while their foundering Baik . sails gallantly into port upon the tide of . successful experiment from every danger b ee. The" union” of body and soul •‘must , be preserved" at all hazards, and in the lan . gunge of the valiant Lawrence, " never give up die ship” while a main brace holda good. . More teirihl? titan the tempest and more ( treacherous than the attack of the raid s night assassin, it is destined we fear tr course the Universe in its flight, invading . all s. x;‘», all conditions of men, dominions e powers, principalities and republics, wi 1 (,> indie-riminate and wide spread desolation, ’ Even at this distant point we cannot son e template its existence or its approach touui 0 own happy shores without emotions of awe e'Letitcomel ffe at least will not ealeu 1 Jute the value of personal costs or exhibi ijany puffitanimous terror on the occasion . but endeavour to be cool, dispassionate am . decisive in order to encounter its onset witl and judgment and fight it out n the last like our Warsaw volunteer, deter . wined to conquer or die in the cause o . suffering humanity, f *Nl«eiiug at Pursuant to previous notice, a large anc ■ respectable portion of the citizens of Mon roe county, and, a number of gentlemen from other counties, in attendance on the Superi h or.CJpurt of the county, convened jo the Cour House on the 15th insl. to express their Ten d (aments in relation to the recent decision o - the Supreme Court of the United States dc " nying the constitutionality of the law o 1 Georgia, extending her jurisdiction over tha k portion of her Territory in the possession o ■ the Cherokee tribe of Indians. '. On motion, Gen. Benjamin 11. Ruther e ford was called to the Chair, jmd Elbridg I (J.

Chappell Esq. the folfowini preamble and resolutions were submitted b n General E. Beall. Among the dearest and highest righlp o -■freemen, is the attribute of judging and dc - termining upon these claims of sovereignty I That a nation-or people, claiming to be fre d and independent, should permit their privi r leges, rights and immunities (o be ailjudica ted away by a tribunal usurping authority e is inconsistent with national honor, nation's - right, and national dignity.—The people o h Georgia claim to he, and will maintain, (ha - she is a free, sovereign ami indepciulen 0 State—that she entered into the feelers n league as such—that in forming a link in th s chain of .ho Union of the States, she did nc h divest herself of her sovereign character • her sovereignty she retained—that she cjii • sented to grant to (he States as a feeler; d union for national purposes, certain light 1 which were acknowledged to be hers, flies e, are found in the federal compact called th e Constitution of the United States.—All e> 8 cept those there specially delegated, she n served to herself. Among these, of her foi g mer and sovereign rights, and which she ha e never ceded or granted to any power or got n eminent, is the right of absolute soil ami j> • rUdiction, over the territory within her tha e lerej limits. ,\ certain portion of that tei - 1 ritory amounting to millions of acres, r claimed by a part of the tribe of Indiat i known ns the Chciokes tribe*-(tins oat 10 ."- i|if there be one, is beyond the Mississippi \ Bandits, outlaws, demagogues, mercen* r y -jmissionaries and trai'ors have sought a ho inu i and a refuge 'here in violation of the pub* 11, flaws of the Stale. Some of them liavebs ll^ ■ arres'ed (firs 1 having been kimiiy notified ’ ‘ 1 our laws and advised to leave the territory • i to avoid the legal consequences ct an illeg ul s residence there ) —They have been tried, -(convicted and are now undergoing ihe pun ■ ishment prescribed by law. They have ap» - pealed to a tribunal for redress, which we i disclaim lias any light of jurisdiction of their - Crimea, or over our tertiury in matters cf , that kind. A small majority of the Supreme i.Court of the United Stales, has assumed to -jthemselves the right to pronounce upon the - constitutionality of our laws, and have de ) creed them unconstitutional, and their man*. . date is directed to be execu'ed in spite erf imr laws, our rights and our liberties—atflf I this deervp too, from the very same bench i which has hitherto said in relation to the ■ same Subject matter, that Georgia lit sail tin* r, rights’attached to her sovereignty, vvithit >,her limits, and which are secured to her by -jlhe 2d Section of the 4lh article of the Con-. stiluiion of the United States, and which the » United States could not cede either by their ■ power over the territory, or their treaties ( with the Cherokt-ea, and by (he treaties or 1 compacts, the United States, never contend ed for the right of jurisdiction over that ter ritory—that right has long since been ad- I raitted to have passed to Georgia—The de-’ 1 cree of that Court seeks now by judicial con -1 struction to arouse Indian sovereignty from fits long slumber, and bring it into iramedi i ate action against the States, by an extra ju : dicial fiat. To this Georgia never will con • sent—Before she does, ‘dnay it be recorded i that Georgia mas.” * ( From the same bench on another osca - sion we have been told that Great Britaia •;before our Independence considered tbesm - (the Cherokee) as her subjects, whenever she chose to claim their allegiance.’ and their I country as hers both in soil and aovereign e ty, and that the forbearance exercised to » wards them by Bniiaji was vnluntj;-' - ry, and not from supposed v/abt of right to [extend her laws over them, did she übstasa - from doing go. From the. British right to r soil and jurisdiction the right accrued to ua c by the treaty of 1783 and that right not th® « federal government but to Georgia The I Cherokee* have never been recognized a* ri holding sovereignty over the territory they t occupy—the aame’ Supreme Court has said •(heretofore that European discoverers noto e riously assented and executed the right of I. sovereignty as well as of soil where the e Cherokees inhabi», aD d it is from th&t - source we derive aur right ad there is not 0 an instance of a cession of land by an In -1 g dian nation in which the right of sovereign i.ity is mentioned as a part of the matter red h ed. But ihe people ot Georgia hold that i. this question is not now debatable—-the i- matter has been long since settled by th* ir only competent authority and that upon «' f. dear right, the decree of the Supreme Court 1 to the contrary notwithstanding. Our rights it have been repeatedly recognized by the j, Executive of the United States; these rights d it is our province as well as our duty and h interest as a free slate to support and main to' tain. r r-j Therefore b? it resolved, That we hold of the decree of the Sup>crae Court of the Un rated States as extra judicial—that asgood ’ and faitiiful citizens of Georgia in behalf of our state rights and state sovereignty, ws d will to the utmost extent of our means Rev* j. erally and collectively maintain and support m ! the state against ihe execution of said de i. rt Resolved, That short of paramount physic* j. force to that of Georgia, oatd decree shall 0 f not he executed, B J Resolved, That we will hold our personal pf 1 services and means at the disposal of our at state Executive at ail times when ha may 0 f call upon us to save the stats from such e judicial despotism. r J Resolved, That the territory occupied by a portion of the Cherokee tribe of Indians j within the chartered limits of Georgia, be ■j.jiong to Georgia, and (hat she will never CB surrender the jurisdiction or soil, to any ig!power on earth unless overcome by force. ,y| Resolved, That we have the fullest con ’ fidence in the President of the United S'ates, 0 f that he will not lend the Executive arm to E . attempt to enforce said decree. 1 Resolved, That we recommend to our fellow citizens of (he other counties in the instate to hold public meetings on this all s (important subject, and to take a stand firm v and decided.
