THE CHOLERA.
The Paris accounts of the Cholera epidemic arc
idly akirneng, and should admonish us in this
•• >uairy to adopt, every possible guard and protcc-
' '»a against its introduction—particularly in venii-
. ting die clothing of seamen and prohibiting the
aiiortation of old rag«. We have been constant-
. • attentive to such remedies as have been practic-
a.’.v successfully, and we publish the following,
pursued with entire success at Weizniz. Out of
-•lOpesons treated, every one was saved; and we
..; vise our readers to cut out and preserve the mode
of treatment.
‘‘ "ale a pint of strong spirits of wine, and haifa
7int of good white vinegar, add to them one ounce
'■i powdered camphor, one ounce of Hour of mus-
•u'.l, or bruised mutard seed, a quarter of an ounce
°t ground pepper, and a full tea-spoonful of bruised
garlick; and lastly, half an ounce of powdered can-
tnarides. Mix them well togetiier in a bottle, and
* x|iose the mixture for twelve hours in tlie sun, or
otherwise place it in some warm spot, taking care to
shake it repeatedly.
“As soon as the person is attacked, let him be in-
>tartly put to died, under warm coverlids, and let
iiis hands and feet be rubbed powerfully and unin
terruptedly with the lotion, after it has been warm
'd. During this operation, let the patient take a
glass of strong drmk, composed of two parts of cam
omile tl.nvers, and one part of halm mint.
“Persevere in this course, and at the end of fifteen
'.mutes at the utmost, (the patient’s head and bo
dy being kept well covered beneath the bed cloth
es,) lie will break out into a profuse perspiration.
“The patient must be kept in this state between
two and three hours, but care must be taken that
-tc does not fail asleep. After this, remove the ex
tra covering from oil the bed, and he will drop
into a slumber, which will last between six and
< ig.'it hours, and be accompanied by a gentle per
spiration.
“When lie awakes, he will find himself weak, bui
the disease will have entirely left him, and he will
lequire nothing further hut rest and moderate diet
to restore him to perfect health.
“Especial attention must be paid, that the pa-
t.ent after the operation of rubbing, does not so
much as lift a finger above the clothes, for the
slightest chill, whilst the perspiration is upon him,
would he his death.
“W hen the cramps in the stomach come on, we
apply very hot dry bandages of bran and ashes to
me pit of the stomach, and when necessary, a blad
der of hot water to the region of the navei.
“The great point is to produce strong perspira-
t.oii, and to restore the circulation of the blood,
whidiat the beginning ofthe attack, is drawn from
the surface of the body, and thrown with frightful
virulence on its inward parts.
. “F rom my own experience, and the repeated
proofs I have had of its intire efficacy, I cannot but
most conscientiously recommend this mode of treat
ment to universal adoption.

i what extent do they and their abetters exact the sub-
i.vsion of tlie people ol* the U. States? Are patriotic

should like to know more distinctly, what w;

idiviuuals who assembled at Baltimore, in order toncm-
nate a vice-president fir us, desire to be considered, no
is tlie people ot tlie United States, but as their repr* -
c.natives. Ilow were they chosen ? Those vim ' -

lever elected by the people of Georgia, as their r ! »-j -
••ales to this convention. They can produce rm testi
monials to shew, that this high trust which they hay*
erased, was confided to them by the people ct Georgia.
e believe that small portions of the people, in a vi

nistakened, if the meetings which adopted tii<>sc rest lu

The persons who voted in the convention, in the name > f
Georgia were not delegates of the people ot this State: o.
ibeii- vote is no lung more than tlie dictation ol live in<h vid

■fiieers ; and they will find no better occasion for its ex
ercise, than in discarding those presumptuous member-
of congress, v.ho have attempted to wrest it from them
The convention contained delcga i s from a very sum
proportion of the demceiucy c>f the Union ; it docs not
utter the voice of the pcopie, but is a most daring a -
tempt to suppress tlieir voice, and to deprive them of a
free and unbiassed election. To such dictation, to such
usurpation, none but the determined supporters of Van
Burcn can submit!
We have preferences fur other candidates, v. hem 1 **
.iclieve more pure, more disinterested, more patriotic,
t an Van Burcn ; preferences which we cannot rciir.-
cjuish at the dictation of these self-constituted delegates-
we have obj- ctions to this selfish dissembler, which they
I'annot constrain us to forget.
\V hen did Martin Van Btiren exhibit any jiowcrfu

thoroughly versed in all tlie cunning arts of that sc-fis.'

exertion, he rises but little above mediocrity. 1 But wi
ire told, that lie is the choice of Jackson, and ctigb
therefore to be supported for the vice-presidency. 1*

of Van Buren—but is any admirer of Jackson, any mat-
Hio has loved him for his pa'rtotic virtue, so ultra in
lis devotion, so much ut war with liimsclf, as to main
tain, that tlie people ought to resign to tlw; president,
he power of choosing Ins successor? Sucu is 9 c ex
eat to which this argument would carry us ; and fcuch
: the design of the supporters of 'Van Burcn. The ir-
eUction of Jackson to the presidency, of vv.fich no dou- :

u-norable office in the world, isa greater concession tba»
ibis venerable patriot would exact from bis country-

And v.ho believes that, in fact, "Van Boren is to
iend of Jackson ? As long as it vns possible to oc-ce
ickson, Van Buren was leagued with his bitterest enf-
o'cn. At the eleventh hour, when success was certain
'an Buren came over to the successful banner, just n
me to appropriate a large share of the spoils of vim

\ iidrcw Jackson, failed to win Ins approbation, and
Tiinmnd Ins support: but lie became a willing am

FROM THE INTELLIGCHCER.
Information has been receiveit from the Head
Q,uarlers oi’General Atkiasos, dated the 27tii ol
April, stating—
“That the conduct of Black Hawk and his as
sociates, renders it necessary that he should at once
lake the field, and, as lire as possible, prevent them
from doing any mischief: that Mr. Gratiot, Indi
an agent, has just arrived from Prophet Village
Black Hawk and his party were there. Yester
day they set out, in company with the Prophet’s
bands lor the purpose of taking a position on Rock
River; some fifteen or twenty miles above Ogee’s
(notv Dixon’s) ferry, where they are determined to
hold out in defiance of any force that can, they say,
be sent against them. They have the British flag
hoisted, under which the War Dance is constantly
exhibited. They must he checked at once, or the
whole frontier will be in a flame. General Atkin
son proposes moving by Galena and taking a posi
tion at Ogee, (Dixon’s Ferry,) on the Fort Clark
road, and await there the arhal of Governor Rey
nold’s mounted force, when, the General presumes
the hostile party ean be pul down.
“ To a mild talk sent by General Atkinson to
Black Hawk, he returned an answer that Ins heart
is bad and that he will fight any force sent against
him.
“ Great distress is already felt on the frontiers.
The inhabitants have abandoned their farms and
are falling back for safety.”

INDIAN HOSTILITIES.
The Cincinnati Gazette, received yesterday, contains
he following:
THE INDIAN WAR.
The steam boat Herald, Captain Fleishman, in seven
ty-four hours from St. Louis a most extraordinary
quick passage—brings us a proclamation from the Gov
ernor of Illinois to the citizens of that State, from which
.t appears, that a bloody and successful attack has been
made by the Indians upon a detachment of volunteers.
We learn by a private letter, that fifty-two of the volun
teers were killed, among whom were Colonel Crane,
Colonel Thomas, Major Morgan, and Captain Bai
ley.
At the date of tlie last accounts, General Atkinson
ihe Commander-In-Chief of the United Stales forces, was
m a most perilous situation. He had sent out several
■ xpresses for supplies, and every man had been cut oil’.
Hie keel-boats, destined with supplies above the Rap
ids, had not been heard of, and it w as supposed that tliey
had been captured and tlieir crews massacred, lntelb-
ffence so painful has not been anticipated. For a further
knowledge of (lie condition of our frontiers, the reader is
referred to Governor Reynold’s proclamation :
Dixon’s Ff.kry, on Rock River.
To t':c JJUilia cf the kitate cf Illinois :
It becomes my duty again to call on you for your ser
vices in the defence of your country. The Stale is not
only invaded by the hostile Indians, but many of your
citizens have bc-cn slain in baltlc. A detachment ol
the mounted volunteers commanded by Major Stillman,
of about 275 in number, were overj*owered by the hostile
Indians on Sycamore creek, distance from this place
thirty miles, and a considerable number of them killed.
This is an act of hostility which cannot be misconstru
ed.
I am of opinion that the Pottawaiamies and Winne-
bagoes have joined the h’aes and Foxes, and ail may be
considered as waging war against tlie United Slates.
To subdue these Indians and drive them cut the
State, it will require a force of at least two thousand
mounted volunteers more, in addition to the troops al
ready in the field.
1 have ra uie the necessary requisitions on the proper
oflirers for the above number of mounted men, anti
have nodoubt that citizen soldiers of the State will obex
the call of tlieir country. They will meet at Hinepin
■ n the Illinois river, in companies of 50 men each, on

Tg (he Editor of the A’eio York Standard.
Washington, 13th May, 1832.
Sir—I have seen with regret, in a letter from
your correspondent at this place an unwarrantable
attack on Col. Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky.
His course throughout the whole investigation was
strictly honorable and uninfluenced by any particu
lar transactions with the Bank of the United States.
He was uniformly in favor of lull inquiry into the
proceedings of the bank, and of introducing into the
report every matter of sufficient public importance,
and every transaction, tlie propriety of which
might be' questioned. Col. Johnson and myself
concurred in every amendment to Judge Clayton’s
report.
Your correspondent lias also done injustice to
Mr. McDuffie, whose course was, as it is always,
fair and honorable.
I must correct another error—whatever opinions
the numbers of the committee may entertain of
tlie transactions of the Bank of the United Slates,
it is. proper to correct tlie impression that Messrs.
Thus. Biddle and Co. were improperly favored by
the president of the bank—such was not the opin
ion of tlie members of the committee generally*.—
They considered that the bank consulted its own
interest. A ma jority* of the committee doubted the
policy of such large operations with any one house,
as opposed to the general interest of trade. I am,
very respectfully,
Your most ob’t servant,
C. C. CAMBRELING.
FROM THE SAMS.
Bank Committee’s Report—We arc author
ised and requested by the Hon. C. C. Cambreling
to say, that he is not the author of the report made
by the majority of the committee appointed by the
House of Representatives, to investigate tlie affairs
of the United States Bank, hut. that Judge Clay
ton is the author. Every person r.ot disposed to
be malicious, and who is acquainted with Judge
Clayton, must krow that lie, ns chairman, would
make the report, and that both in nerve and talent
he is every way competent to that. task. It has
suited the malevolence of tlie Courier & Enquirer,
however, to ascribe the authorship to Mr. Cambre-
ing.
Correspondence of the JV. Y. Jour, of Commerce,
Washington, 21st May, 18S2.
The Senate sat one day last week on executive
business; when it is understood that the nomina
tions by the President, of Mr. Biddle* ad Mr. Bryee
to succeed Judges Breckenridge and Smith in
Florida, were both rejected. Of this result I can
speak with confidence; but as the Senate has not
removed the injunction ol secrecy on its executive
journal in this rcspcc*, I cannot communicate par
ticulars.
In addition to the intelligence heretofore publish
ed in your city, and from the State Department, I
have to sav that I have seen and read a despatch
from the highest functionary in the service of Don
Miguel in the Island of Madeira, which is dated
13th April ultimo, representing the Portuguese of
the Island to he perfectly tranquil iu every respeci,
except on account of the blockade of Funchal by
Satorius, an English adventurer, playing Admiral
in the navy of Donna Maria the glorious. The
immediate effect of the blockade was to raise the
price of provisions in that market 50 per cent.
The despatch appeals lothe Americanmerchantsfor
supplies, tendering even* facility within the Island
to encourage them. There are several ports as
favorable to entry as that of Funchal; and it may
be relied on, lhat the very first prize that. Satorioits
makes with his squadron, will be the signal for its
capture and distraction. The Constellation is there
now*, and the United States will be there in all the
month of June, either one of which can manage
the whole squadron of Don Pedro. Madeira is al
most provisioned bv American stores, and is now
entirely dependnt on American navigation. Some
of our Yankees, run intoTerceira, from which they
escaped with difficulty. That was all hazard with
out a chance of remuneration. Now they have an
opporiunity of provisioning '100,060 people with
out hazard.
v ICu IRGoI DEN T i AL CONVENTION.
Baltimore, Tuesday May 22.
A* halt' pan S o’clock the Convention was called to

of one from each state, reported that die committee liad
the subject confided to them under consideration, and he
had been instructed to inform the Convention that their
choice had fallen upon Ger.eral Robert Lucas, of Ohio,
as the most suitable person to preside over tlieir future
deliberations. He accordingly moved that General Lu
cas be appointed President of die Convention, which was
unanimously agreed to. General Lucas not being pre
sent, a committee was appointed to wait upon him and
inform Iiim of his Selection. It consisted of Mr. Clay-
- ( yi. of Georgia ; Mr. Murp •/, of Ohio ; and Mr.
Bradley of Vermont. Gen. L. having been conducted

ing resolutions in relation to the further proceedings of
the business of the Convention :—
Resolved, That the Delegates from each State be en
titled to as many votes in die selection of a Candidate
for tlie office of Vice-President of die U. Stales, as such
state maybe entitled to in the apportionment bill recent
ly passed by tlie House of Representatives; and that
two thirds of tlie w hole number of votes be required to
constitute a majority.
Resolved, That in taking the Vice-President, the De
legates from each state shall designate a member or
members to nominate the person to he selected.
Resolrcd,'1'hal it be recommended to the Convention
that the proceedings be opened with prayer; and that
the Reverend Clergy of Baltimore be requested to at
tend for that purpose.
The question w as then taken upon each resolution,
and they were adopted by the Convention.
Mr. King stated that some unfinished business was
yet before the committee, and asked leave for it to sit
again, which was granted. lie then moved that, in or
der to give time to the Delegations from the several
states to comply with the requisition of the second reso
lution, a recess be taken until 12 o’clock, which was
agreed to.
Two O'clock.—The President having called the Con
vention to order, the Reverend Mr. Skinner opened the
sitting with prayer.
Mr. King, from the committee, offered two resolutions,
the first of which specified, that in voting on the nomina
tion for Vice-President, tlie authorized person should
designate the name of the person so voted lor by the de-
leg ites from that state, which was adopted, and the se
cond provided for the appointment of a committee to
prepare an address to the people, which was laid on the
table until after the nomination should have been made.
Mr. King then moved that tlie States should be called
over and the ballot handed to tlie Secretary*, w hich be
ing done, the result of the balloting was found to be as
follows:—

The President accordingly declared Martin Van
Buren, of New-York, to lie duly nominated as the
•andidatc for the office of Vice-President of the United
Slates. i
A motion was made that the question on tlie adoption
of the Nomination should be so put that it might receive
-.he unanimous vote of the Convention. Mr. Kremcr
proposed to take the sense of the Convention by ayes
a id noes. Mr. Foster, of Georgia, opposed the motion:
a id one cf the Delegates from Virginia having stated
hat the members from that State desired time to make
an explanation of tlieir vote, he moved a recess until 4
.'clock, P. M. which was agreed to.
Fear o'clock.—Tlie Convention Leing called to order,
Mr. Archer, of Virginia, stated that he was directed
bv the Delegation from that State, to present the follow
ing Resolution, which he moved to have recorded among
he proceedings, which was agreed to:—
Resolved, That the Delegation from Virginia to this
Convention concur m and approve the nomination of a
Vice-President which has been made by that body, and
will recommend the cordial support of it to their consti
tuents.
A similar resolution was presented by tlie delegation
from Kentucky*, and ordered to be enrolled on the pro
ceedings.
Mr. King called up the resolution lying on the tabic:
imposing the appointment of a committee of one from
each State to prepare an Address to tlie American Peo-
■ile, to be appointed by the President.
Mr. Nicholas, of Virginia, spoke at some length
against the preparation of an address. A debate ensued
in which Messrs. Lytle, of Ohio, Miller, of Vermont,
Humes, of Virginia, Lausat, of Pennsylvania, Dunlap,
. f Maine, and Kremcr, of Pennsylvania, participated.—
Mr. Nicholas subsequently withdrew his motion.
The resolution was then agreed to, and the chairman
appointed the committee.
Mr. Clay of Alabama, offered tlie followingresolution,
which wasordertd to be entered on tlie proceedings :—
Resolved, That this Convention repose the liighcs*
confidence in the patriotism, integrity and purity ot An
drew Jackson, and cordially concur in the approbation
of his conduct which lias Leer, expressed in various parts
of the Union.
The D'-legation from Alabama informed the Conven
tion they had yielded their preference for Richard M.
Johnson, anti most cordially approved of the nomination
of Martin Van Buren, which declaration was ordered to
be inserted on tlie journal.
Mr. King moved that a committee of three be np-
poiiited to asetf ain the expenses of the Convention,
and nominated Joel I!. Poinsett, of South Carolina, AV.
R. Johnson, of Virginia, and J. Speed Smith, of Kcn-
tucky, on the committee, w hich was agreed to.
On motion, it was resolved that a committee, com
posed of the President and Vice-Presidents of this Con
vention, be appointed to inform Mr. A an Buren of his
nomination by tlie Convention.
FROSI THF. NORTH CAROLINA STATE GAZETTE.
That Judge Barbour is the favorite of North Carolina,
■> e affirm without hesitation, and a ticket that will sc
ore to him her vote can he formed with perfect ease, by*
means of the proposed Convention. Ail that is wanting
s, that those who usually take the lead in surh matters
tep forward promptly, and invite the cooperation of the
people.
As this opinion may be douhtsd by* our friends at a
distance, whose sole means of judging is the vote given in
the Baltimore Convention, we take occasion to say, that
those who attended that Convention fionvt’ais State, d;d
not truly represent the feelings cfher citizens. AVc un-
derstanel there were only five of thorn, and that their
votes were made to tell 3 for Mr. Van Buren, and 6 for
Mr. Barbour. Now, we do not pretend to doubt the
sincerity of their motives; but as they could not have
been well acquainted with, every section of the State, it
will be no disparagement to them to say, that we believe
they acted under die influence of a mistaken question.

From the Philadelphia American Sentinel.
Who represented Pennsylvania in the Baltimore
Convention, we are not informed hy the proceed-*
ings received last evening. That they were sell-
constituted, is certain; meetings for this purpose
not being held in more than six counties ol’the
State. As might be expected from occasional ma
chines of tliis kind, they had not the spirit even
to vote for the candidate of the State at tlie first
ballot. It was expedient that the New York can
didate should have a show of strength at the com
mencement of the balloting, and to effect this object
the half dozen who misrepresented Pennsylvania,
cast lor him her thirty votes, and passed the un
doubted candidate of her hundred thousand demo
cratic voters contemptuously by. Judge Wilkins
is, however, in the hands ot a party, which, unso
licited on his part, placed him in nomination and
pledged themselves to his support. His confi
dence is justly reposed, and will be honorably j
vindicated.

TRIAL OF MRS. CHAPMAN AND MINA.
Tlie late trials of Mrs. Chapman ami Lino Amalia j
Esposy Mina reveal events scarcely equalled in llie !
wildest romances, (“n tlie very day of lixs tlisuhaige at •’
tlie penitentiary at Philadelphia, Alina appears at the .
residence of Air. Chapman as a beggar, is admitted, !
credited as the son of a Mexican Grander, taken into I
favor, wins the criminal affection of Mrs. C., plots the \
destruction of Air. Chapman, esjxjuscs his widow nine j
days after his death, and in three months after his form- j
er discharge is again admitted into a prison, under the I'
c.hartre of murder by poison. The singular character j
of Mina, the mystery in which bis history is shrouded, i
his extraordinary faculty of deceiving even the most ]-
penetrating, his apparent enjoyment of the sufferings of i
others, the complacency with which he observes the dire- I
ful effects of bis wicked agency, and tlie contempt with 1
which he seems to look on his own peril and pain, give a !'
romanti: aspect to an affair which we trust will never j
again l>e equalled in our country. These remarks have i
been called forth by the perusal of the report of the trial • ■* llP drawm
of Mrs. Chapman, prepared by Air. Dubois, ami publish- j
ed by G. AV. Alentz & Son. Drawn up with great care 1
and particular skill, that report contains matter of the -
deepest interest to the lawyer, the physician and the !
general reader. Among the most striking points is that j
of the origination of the investigation which hits just I
terminated in the sentence of death against Alina. A (
letter signed “Lucretia,” addressed to Mina at Wash- i
ington, taken out of that post office to trace Alina, who
line! been swindling, is sent to the police of Philadelphia. J
Thrown aside as of no authority, because anonymous, i
it is taken up by high constable Blaney, and exhibits to ;
him this striking sentence. “But no, Lino, when I \
pause for a moment I am constrained to acknowledge
that I do not believe that God will permit cither you or
me to be liappy this side of the grave.” Now, Air.
Blaney had been a Printer; had printed for Air. Chap
man ; knew Airs. C’s. writing; thought all could not be
right; and this led to the enquiry which has had such a
dreadful issue.
Alurder will rise
Tho’ all tlie world conceal it from men’s c.yes.
From his tomb, tlwee months old, the body of poor
Chapman issues, fresh ns when interred, no vestiges of
poison lost, no traces of inflammation obscured.
Alina is seized in Boston just one day before his intend
ed marriage to a neice of his wife ; and another day
would have placed in his hands a large sum of money-
procured by the basest fraud, and he would have carried
off botli bis prizes to some South American country.
Tlie romantic incidents give great interest to the very
able speeches of the counsel on both sides of this curious
case.
The entire emptiness of the stomach of Air. Chap
man rendered very difficult tlie detection of the poison,
of which only a trace was left. But the symptoms dur
ing life, the examination of the body after death, and tlie
chemical investigation taken together, furnished strong
evidence of death by arsenic. These, together with the
purchase of arsenic by Alina, and bis confessions of
guilt, left the jury in his case no alternative, and a ver
dict of guilty now rendered, decides the fate of a being,
who, for his years, knows perhaps no equal in dissimu
lation, no parallel in crime, and no rival in recklessness.

SUPERB >R COURT, Mat Term, 1332.
Present his Honor W. W. Holt:
YFS7E the Grand Jury for the county of Jefferson
W w for said Term, upon our oaths make the follow
ing Presentments, viz:
On the subject of reducing the number of members,
in our State Legislature—we coincide with the prelimi
nary convention, recently convened in Miiledgeville, and
as they have fixed on the first Monday in November
next to elect delegates to form a convention, in the ensu
ing r'ebrn.ny ; we recommend to our fellow citizens to
elect two delegates on that day to represent this county
in said convention. When we look at the exhausted
state of our Treasury and reflect lhat the future revenue
of the Slate is to be taken directly from the pockets of
our citizens, we trust if. is a sufficientargumcnt to satisfy
every thinking mind of the propriety of the measure,
Wc regret the act passed by the last Legislature abol
ishing penitentiary confinement—we believe it to be pre
judicial, to the moral character of our State, and unprece
dented in the annals of our country—and we believe a
resort to the whipping post, branding iron, and galiows,
for the punishment of offences, except for murder, to Ln
disgraceful to a Christian country— all experience have
shewed that certainty, and not severity of punishment
produces the most salutary effect. Wc believe peniten
tiary punishment to be most in accordance with humani
ty, and at thcsnmc timeanswering all tlie ends of justice*
We therefore recommend to our Senator and Ilcprescft-
tftfives from this county to use tlieir influence to have it
restored.
Knowing that there arc large assemblages of negroes
in Louisville, on Sabbath days in particular, and believ-
r ing that they must he encouraged by white persons for
1 the purpose of trailing; wc would earnestly recommend
, to the proper authorities, to be vigilant in the discharge
• if their du! ies, so as to put a stop to such illegal and im-
i moral practices.
i In conclusion, vyc tender our thanks to bis honor t£e
i Judge and the Attorney General, for their promptat-
(tention to their official duties.
f Y e request that our presentments of a public nature
j be published in the Georgia Journal and Federal Union.
