Mated (hit, if the Senate should lit on Satur
day he would move that the day be devoted!
* i ili consideration of the bill to establish i
un Post Roads, 8c to discontinue others. ’ j
Mr. Katie, tium the Committee "n
Land Claims,'reported a bill from the liaise (
v.i viut ameadment. Mr. Hiyne, from
■he t iinmiltce on Naval Affairs, nude an '
unfavorable report on a petition for compen- (
ilioo for loss of timber, by a contract with L
die Navy Department. .Mr. Clumbers,! (
liotn the committee on the District of Cn-; fc
lombia, reported a bill from the Home, re-1
latino to tite Penitentiary, with an amend-'
mttnf, and a bill from the House for (lie im-i f
juoveincnt of Pennsylvania avenue, without!
i,it amendment. Mr, Chambers, also, from
the same Committee, to whom was referred (
the jietition of the association of Clerks, re
p led a bill in conformity with the prayer
of that petition, which was read a first time,
and ordeced to a second reading. The!
General Appropriation Bill, ami the bid to,
extend (he bench's of vaccination among'
the Indians, were read a third lime and
passed.
On motion of Mr. Webster, the Senate '
proceeded to the consideration of the Ap-j
portionment bill. Mr. Webster explained i
the amendment reported in blank by the|
Select Committee, and indicated his de
sire to take the question on striking out the
bill from the II mse, and inserting the bill,
of the Committee, in order to adopt or re-! 1
ject the principle of the amendment, leaving
the question as to numbers to be afterwards i
decided. The Senate was then addressed
by Mr. Dallas, Mr. Claylon, Mr. Dicker- i
son, and Mr. Hill, when the question was
taken on the amendment of the Committee,
and dacidetl as follows :
YEAS. Messrs. Bill, Renton, Buck

The numbers being equal, the Vice-Presi
dent s'ateil that, after having paid the ut
most attention to the debate, he had ce»*te
to the conclusion that the bill, as it came
from the House, was unconstitutional, and
he should therefore leel constrained, under
a sense of. the deep responsibility of his sit
uation, to give liis vole in favor of the a
- incut. The amendment was therefore
decided iu ih 1 * iilUrmative, by the casting
vote of the Chair.
The qucs'ion was then taxon on filling
the blink f r tlie number of Representa
tives with 256, and decided in the negative

PREVENTION OF CHOLERA.. |«
To the question so frequently asked, j
1 What shall I do (o preserve myself from
an attack of this awful disease ?’ we reply
lst. Attend to your irenera! health. Iti
I I • • J CJ !
the digestive organs, be out of order, take
medicines,—not a dose of suite, no violent
cathartic, not a quack composition, not a !
domestic nostrum ; but refer to your medi- '
cal attendant, wliu will adapt his remedy .
to the actual disorder. 1 would suggest to
the professional reader the inhalation of
chlorine, as a valuable means of improving .
the general health. This gas is well known;
to act on the bronichal membrane, but I al-j,
I ml*? to another effect. It has a marked n-|
gency on the digestive organs. Under its/
use I have often seen the tongue become;
clean, the appetite improve, the strength
increase. The lotion, or bath of chlorine,!
is also very advisable, when there is any de-!
feet or depnva'ion of the biliary secretions.
2. A"end particularly to diet. Live well/
bur live temperately. Take nourishing food,
but in less quantity than usual. Eat few 1
vegetables, ami those fully cooked. Drink
wine after dinner, and, il faintly in a fore- 1
noon, lake then also half a glass and a bis- 1
cuit. Reduce, however, the liquid quanti
ty of food, and particularly tea and coffee.
The digestive organs are often vastly im
proved, by restricting the drink to the sura
total of a pint, or eighteen ounces, in the
twenty four hours. 3. Let the clothing be
sufficient to keep warm the whole surlace.l
but particularly the feet. A flannel belt
round the body is also recommended. 4.
Sponge or wash, and thoh briskly rub the
body all over every morning. Cleanliness
of person, as well as of dwelling, is of the
greatest importance. 5. Take regular ex
ercise—a walk brisk enough to produce
moderate perspiration, or, if the feet be nut
subject to be cold, take daily an hour on
two’s smart ride on horseback, but avoid
fatigue, and long exposure to wet and cold.,
ti. Above all, attend promptly to the inva-i
.sion ot disease, even slight aud familiar,!
{Nine-tenths ot the worst cases of cholera!
are preceded, tor a few days, by disorder,!
i which I sincerely believe would never have
(been succeeded by fatal disease, had it|
been early regarded. General uneasiness,l
slight irritation in the bowels, and sick-j
ness arc not at common periods alarming;
but if cholera be apprehended, they should
jbe promptly Met by medical treatment.
Depression of spirits, countenance shrunk
■ and dejected, a cold clammy state of the
skin, oppressed circulation of blood, indi
jeated by prickling sensation in the hands
jand a laboring pulse, are equally'iinportant.i
j Watery purging, succeeded by vomiting of!
pale fluid and sudden depression are more
{threatening symptoms; ami prove, indeed,
I the actual invasion of the disease. An in
'creased discharge of urine has occasionally
{preceded for gome days the attack of ur-{
{gent cholera. But of all the promonitary
/symptoms, diarrhoe, a relazed sta'eof the
{bowels, rather than severe purging, most
, frequently introduces the spasmodic or pur
'i pie cholera. 1 wes favored last week with{
a report of the state of the cholera at Gates
head, by Mr. Brady, an intelligmt surgeon,
»nd who has had under his care fully one
third of all the cases attacked. He remarks,
"on careful investigation, I am fully con
vinced that a diarrht* es two or three days 5 !
standing is almost an invariable precursor!
of the disease; and that, if this be promptly
checked, many deaths will be prevented,’j

A respectable meeting of the inhabitants of
I the county of Burke, convened at the
j Court-House in Waynesboro’, on lues
| day, Ist o( May, 1832, agreeably to ad
journment, John Whitehead, E-q. in the
Chair—Eow’d. Hughes, Secretary.
The Committee appointed at the former j
meeting, made the following h
It E POUT: j |
The Committee to whom was referred .
sundry matters by the former meeting beg j
leave to report, that upon the decision ofjl
the Supreme Court in the case of Worces- <
ter, vs. State of Georgia, they consider pub /
lie opinion so completely settled, that it is’t
unnecessary for them to discuss the merits!t
ot the case; but their duty will be fully dis |t
charged by simply adverting to the course/
which it seems to them to behove the author-;
Hies and people of this State to pursue in v
relation to it. Indeed all the departments t
ot our Government have taken their ground, p
and already stand pledged on litis occasion.U
The Governor (following the example setih
him by his predecessor in a case precisely j|<
similar) lias declared that ‘‘any attempt to o
infringe the right of a State to govern the
entire population within ita territorial limits, a
due regard being had to the cases express- t
ly excepted by the constitution of the!
United States,) would be the usurpation oft;
a power never granted by the States. Such h
an attempt whenever made will challenge
the most determined reoistance, and if per- v
severed in, will inevitably eventuate in the p
annihilation of our beloved union”—aud n
adds, "I will disregard all unconstitutional t
requisitions ot whatever character or origin i
they may be, and to the best of my abilities a
will protect and defend the rights of the
State, and use the means afforded me to i
maintain ita laws and constitution,” To t
this declaration the Legislature have re- I
sponded by the unanimous adoption of Re- f
solutions containing the same items of the
constitutional rights and duties of the State, i
and concluding with the following ; “That i
his Excell mey the Governor, be and he is (
hereby au:hori*ed and required with all the t
force and means placed at his command by
the constitution and Laws of, this State, to
resist and repel any and every invasion from
whatever direction it may come, upon the
administration of the criminal laws of this
Slate.” The Judicial hand of our Stale go- ,
vernment has also been faithful to its duty .
in peremptorily refusing to carry into effect ]
the unconstitutional and we arc constrained [
to say unrighteous mandate of the Supreme ,
Court of the United States. ,
All the authorities ol the Slate having ;
thus announced their determinations, and
ours being emphatically a government of i
(opinion, it becomes the people to make an
'open avowal of their sentiments on thin mo- |
,mentous subject, and if they believe those :
I whom they have entrusted with the manage- ,
ment of their deareat interests, have Judged |
and acted rightly, to strengthen and cn-j
courage them in the performance of their ,
duties by proclaiming to the world that,they .
will stand by and support them in whatever j
measures they may find it proper to adopt, ■
in defence of those rights and interests, j
Therefore your Committee recommend the!,
adoption of the following resolutions s— - (
Ist, Resolved, That the proceedings of (
the Supreme Court of the United States in ,
the case of Worcester, vs. Georgia, both in
sustaining the jurisdiction aud in rendering ,
such judgment as (hey have rendered, are ,
arbitrary assumptions of power, and in vio- ,
lation of the express provisions of the consti- ,
tution. (
2d. Resolved, That the Stats of Georgia,
en'ered into an union with the other States, ,
her equals, as a sovereign and independent j
State, granting to the Federal government
certain limited and specified powers, for ,
.express purposes and reserving to herself all
powers and rights of sovereignty not grant- ,
ed—that aoiong the powers so reserved is (
'absolute criminal jurisdiction over her whole
| territory, and any pretensions which may
jba set up to control her in this matter must
be considered an attempt te degrade her
troin the condition of a sovereign State to |
; that of a petty co-oporation.
j 3d, Resolved, That we love the Union, ,
and would make ail proper sacrifices to
maintain it, aud that our love of union
prompts us to resist ail encroachments upon
the rights of its members, believing that all
such encroachments directly tend to weaken
and eventually lo destroy that sacred baud.
4th. Resolved, That among the evils
which must result from the late strange, un
precedented and unwarrantable decision ot
{the Supreme Court, the diminished confi
dence of the people in that tribunal will
, not be the least, and that the. moral power
which grew out of the belief ao fondly cher
ished that the venerable men who compose
it, were far above the influence of party bias
. must be shaken, if not totally annihilated.
I sth. li solved, That we highly appreci
[ ate that moral courage and sound judgment
, which were so eminently displayed by*Judg«
i Baldwin, who nobly supported the conatini
. tional rights of the State of Georgia, though
, standing alone am mg his brethren.
! 6th. Resolved, That the stand taken by
i his Excellency the Governor, the General
■ Assembly, and the Judge of the Western
’ Circuit, meets with our entire approbation,
!and we assure them of our ardent support
in every measure which may become neces!
;sary for supporting the rights and dignity of j
the State on this occasion, fully persuaded)
'that it requires only a firm and unyie'dingi
'determination not to submit to usurped pow
er to from our beloved country the c»-
Urmties which threaten it—and that a con
trary coutse will certainly Jepiivc us of all
the blessings that our fathers have purchased
lor us with their blood.
Your Committee ask leave further to re
jeommen.! upon the subject of a Reduction
of the Legislature, the following resoiu
I liens ;
[ Resolved, That we accord with our fel•
llow-citizens of Hancock, in the measures
proposed by them in their circular to tha
citizens of Georgia.
Resolved, That a Delegate be appointed
by the citizens of this county, to meet (ho
delegates from the several counties which
shall have assembled in Milledgrvrlie, or
the first Monday of May inst. preliminary
to the Convention for altering the conslitu
lion, in reference to a reduction ol the Leg
islature.
Upon the subject of the Baltimore Cup
vantion, your committee further recommend
to this meeting, (hat our Senators and Re
preservatives in Congress, be requested to
attend the contemplated Convention to bo
lioblen in Baltimore for the purpose of se
lecting a candidate for the Vice Presidency
of the United States.
The meeting took up and unanimously
Kg’ecd to so much of the Report as relates
to the decision of tho Supreme Court;
The resolutions on the subject of Reduc
tion of the number of members of the Leg
islature were agreed to.
On motion, Resolved, That Dr. South
worth Harlow, be and he is hereby ap
pointed a delegate to meat the central com
mittee and delegates from the other coun
ties at Milledgeville, on the first Monday

aries of the proposed Convention.
The Report on the subject of the Balti
more Convention, was agreed to, and on
motion the Chairman, was requested to

THE STEAM BOAT DISASTER
The destruction of the Steamboat Brandy

the fire spread ao rapidly, that from GO to
80 ot the passengers lost (heir lives. They
attempted to ma the boat ashore, but it
grounded in nine feet water, some distance
from the chore. It is said numbers having
jumped into the boat, it was capsized, and
filled with water, & several persons drown
ed. The mate swam ashore with a rope’s
end in his mouth, which enabled the escape
of most of those who were saved ; but the
worneD and children were all destroyed.
