From Me, Cincinnati Doily Enquirit.
To the people of Cincianuti:-=The Publication of
the Board of Health, and the weekly report, of the
Trustees,of the Hospital. in yesterday's Daily 'Ga
zette, hating shown that the Cholera has at length
begun to prevail among uses an epidemic, I propose
to say a few words nit certain points in Which .1111
have a deep interest.
In the first place, then, tct no one trove the city,
because the epidemic has conic. In whatever un
known manner that disorder travels from country to
country, it is not, pa small-pox, a catching disease;
it' it were, (ming . out of the city would be a preser
vative. As in 1832, the cases which have now oc
curred, are in various retired parts of the city, and
largely among women and children, and who had
been in nu degree exposed to boats, railroad stations,
ur hotels,, where they c.,uld have caught any dis•
ease. 18 fact, the cause has h ave
through the city.
anti already been received into the bodies of its in
habitants—old and young—rich and poor: and they.
who escape to the country are as likely—more like
ly,—to be ill than if they remained at home. The
true and safest course is for families`and friends to
draw closer together than common, and watch over
and assist each other.
In the second place, it ought to ' b e known that,
eiMlemic'eholera has no premonitory symptoms.—
Wheolthe sentinel on the walls of a fortified city
fires his gun, it is a premonition that the enemy is
close at hand—,vhee there is a Circle round the moon,
it is a premonitory sign of a storm; but cholera at
tacks without tiny premuniton.
Wo are accustomed to apply the word Cholera to
a summer disease of our own climate, which getter- •
ally begins with vomiting, or that symptom and di
arrleva combined; and hive therefore fallen into the
fatal error of regardieg the first sago pf Epidemic
Cholera, ns a fore-runner of the disease. Every
elm, woman, and child, ought to know that, _ from
the moment when Use diarrliwa sets iii, the Cholera
tie positively present as when it has advanced to
r touting, or coldness and collapse. When one
i Moats sends urnike, the roof is positively on
tire a m when tie flews light ep the city. The man
who should stand still - when he saw the smoke, say
ing it was only a premonitory sign that his house
might he on tire 'lifer a while, would be regarded as
insane; yet hi. nbsurility would be no greater titan
that ago: t ideal who doe.; not regard himself
tis laboring under the Choler:a, from the moment the
diarrhea begins.
la the third place, it may be declared as a fact,
that the disease may generally he stopped, if met in
that pally stage; at till events, if it cannot then be
put an end to, it cannot afterwards. It will ran its
course,'and the patient may or inav not recover, tic
cording to his censt within . But let no one beihne
that this first mild stage, can be Successfully treated
if the patient cmitinues on his - feet. Ills life de
pends on his lying by,—no medicine can succeed if
he should not. They may chriek it fir the mo
ment, and delude him into a fatal security, but 'can
go no farther.
In the fourth place, all persons who have worn
flannel during the winks, should luep it Off Willi

DANIEL DRAKE, M. D.
Cincinnati, May 10, 1819.
Edll=l3B/12:
I briefly pointe,Tout yesterday, in the public prints,
that no one shoulj bate the city, fur the purpose of
esenping the cholera—that is not a di-ease which
has premonitery i eym,itollis, but that it is present
from'the beginning of the diarrlann, which is its
first mnev;—thatearly treatment and rest are indis
pensable to its care: and that warm clothing should
nut be laid aside till the Epidernic.s,hall have passed
an a V.
The last opinion relates to the prevention of the
cholera: but all constitutions are not liable to it, any
more than ell are liable to ague and fever, influenza,
or any other form 'of di‘4 , ase. But although we
kno v of nothing that williprevent the disease, we
kno • of many things which can and do bring it on,
ate the. poison has been taken into the system.—
They are ext Wog ea. - :sre, clad ought to he_ carefully
avoided. The disease wdl, however, assail some
constitutions, notwithstanding all exciting causes
may be avoided. 1
Of the exciting causes one has just been men
tioned—the premature laying aside of flannel and
other warm clothing:. In addition to this, (and be
. longing to the same head,) getting, wet ill a shower
—rending long on damp places—sitting in a strong
current of air—sitting indite open air at night—
and sleeping it ith but little bed covering—should
all be carefully avoided. }very sitting and lodg
ing room ought to have n tire in it for a part of m.
ery day, especially for a few hOurs before occupy
log qt. Thus, the siiiii, office, family sitting roonf,-
church -and school-him-:e should have tires - kindled
,'jig them early in the morning, and kept up fur two
or three hours;—but this is still more necessary in
lodging rooms, li hiFh should be warmed by brisk
fires, kindled in the early part of the evening, and
allowed to burn down b.yftrie bedtime.
A second class or Acitiug causes is connected
with diet. Loading the stomach with any kind of
food, especially at night, may bring on the disease;
and omi:ting to eat at the usual tune, may do the
1 same thing. Much reduction-du the quantity of
food (the indiublual still being in health) :4 not pro
per. In fact, a nor, riPzin tr diet;is best: but it should he

Firstly. T e election fur Judges is Proposed to be held

chances of an unlmpasioned and careful 'selection, such
as the people would make if called on at ally other time,
whew there is no excitement on otlier:eithjects. New
York adopted the wiser-plan of holding the judicial elec
tions in June, apart from all others.
Secondly. There is no provision for changing tho
districts as they stand ut present. Some of . diem aro too
small. Every unprejudiced man can see that changti
for the better might be made, and the number of the
President judges . muCh diminished.' The Legislature
ought to be required, before the amendment goes into
operation, 'to district the State eqtially and fairly—giving
to each Jnige a just amount of labor, and requiring all
to earn their salaries.
Thirdly. The terms are too' long. if responsihil ity
to public opinion is the object aimed at, the terms of the
President Judges ought to shortened. A responsibility
which is postponed foi ten years, is only a little better
than none. This applies with still
.more force to the
Judges of the Supreme Court

'proposition is submitted alone to the people, no other
change in the constitution can be made for five yearS af

certain important modifications of our finatmental law,

This was on the morning of the 23d—half the houses
are yet in ruins, but the people have repaired them to some
extent, and now fields of grain spring from the blood
stained field. This,, ranch is six miles from Saltine.
The piss proper lies three mileir 'tit advance of it.
At this point the valley closes in to the width of,
four miles, the road running nearly in the centre. On
the right a system of ravines, as much es thirty feet deep
with perpendicular hanks, extend at ono point up to the
road. and render tire ground perfecili impassible from

high, sots in closing from the road to_the mountains on
the left. At the junction of rho "step" mid mountain
the ground is somewhat broken. On the top of it (the
step) there is it level, called the plateau, comprising some
. ten acres in extent; then steep hilts with corresponding
hellpws, cut in fissin es, Bow froM the platau towards

That night _Jut six Milo; further up
the valley, on a stream called the ..I:iiimutado," which
flows townids the iiass and is the beginning of the sys
tem of "Apar) us" or deep fissures on the right. I think
it decidedly the coldest regionll have seen in Mexico; the
wind rucks through these mountain gOrges.with a terri
ble lush; add to this the absence of bush or tree on the
which new opened, to break the current,
which, notwithstanding blankets and overcoats, strikes to
the very hone. I'm told our troops suffered much from
this cause while encamped in the vicinity: in the
morning as we were about to start a strange sail was
discuvert &coming up from the pass and bearing direct
ly in the "winds eye." When the !Fii anger was yet
"hull down" we could see every rag of buckskin flutter
ing in the shunt, and as the. craft upon the her
rizon, a multi was seen and a pair of heels making most
indefatigable exertions, whilst a whip in one hand was
applied with ‘unceasing energy to force the vessel for
ward.
As the loafer came within hu:ling distance he very
modestly dunned us for pay for the pasturing of our an
imals on the common! The old European doctrines of
"right of common" "right of way" &c and other fuodel
institutions, of which wo know so little, are hero, many of
them, in full
_force. From this point three general routes
branch out for the interior. To rho ;iouthard through a pass

thinly tidely dressed females kneading about fifty yards in

time whien - -they moved forward some ten yards and
buckled down again, thus repeating the movement until
they an iced at the foot of the cress, when after some
tra shines. the retreat was cummenced, thd party with
their faces to the cross, and repeating the movements as
described in the advance. We were to much of n her

it was in honor of some fair Saintess. A few miles fur
ther on we came upono an assemblage of people
in holliday tame, su nding a cart which bore a case
enclosing another of wax Saints. The cattle, cart and
all, were in a perfect flitter of ,flags and ribbons. We
enquired of a young blade who seemed to be chief fugle

confused, when sawing his - horse until he reared, then
firing his pistol he told us tfor God" "for God," Sir."=

It is this incapacity of General Taylor for the duties of
the residency, In which is to be found the vile cause of
the shameful and shocking violation of his solemn Pledge%
Of which ho has been guilty since he came into the pres
idency. lie is but a baby in the handy of the wily and
unscrupulous men by whom ho 14 surrounded. If he
would-be honest and redeem his solemnly pledged work ,
ho cannot. Ile cannot do a thing, or move an inch as
president, without their aid. Ile is completely at their
mercy, and they use him without Leruplo and without re
morse. This mortifying fact is becoming daily more au
more apparent, and soon the whole country wi l ll awake.:
to a realizing of its painful truth.
To the real patriots of the country, to the truo lovers of
democratid institutions, the fact that a man has been
elected to the great ollice of president, with scarcely one
qualification to hofit him for its high and solemn duties,
,is not only !mortifying, but it is alarming. It disgraces
our country and belies the capacity of the people for self
)government. But It is pleasing enough to the monar
chist and aristocrat. They care not who is the locum
tenons of the throne, or the presidency. They aro will
ing, nay, would prefer, that it should be a weak woman,
or an imbocileman; a queen Victoria, or a General Tay
lor. In either case the monarchical theory of an irrespon-
slide king and a responsible ministry is exemplified.
