Tho Sanitary Committee of the Board of Health of this city have requested tho Medical Council to make a report on tho subject of Cholera. Tnis'report has appeared in the city press, and to some of its siiggestions and logic I wish to call tho attention of tho public II makes one suggestion relative to the proper course to be pursued in the premonitory stage of cholera that is, after the commencement of diarrhoea, or a relaxed condition of tho bowels. I will not dispute the point win ther tile diairhma is or is not the actual commencement of the Cholera, or whethpr it is only a premonitory symptom if tin attack. The Medical Council, however, regard it in Ihe latter character. But with regard to tho treatment suggested hy them I feel it my duly, more particularly, to spoak plainly.

The report says "With regard to tho treatmont of Cholera, It may be observed that, as general rule, the disease does not attack so suddenly as to preclude the possibility of calling in timely medical assistance. A relaxed state of the bowels for a longer notiurijrai an auoux inu, Luuu.iim. s. The miblication of your letter of Jul 24 created a great excitement among the people and the politician0. Whig papers in York denounced it us a "locofoco" forgery.

The North American, in Phil delp'iia, (once the organ of Henry Clay, and now the northern organ of Secretary of State,) seized upon the woiil and in weary columns assailed the person to whom the letter was addressed, as the betrayer of your confidence. Other journals, however, which circulated among the masses, hailed this letter with an unquaified approval, and placed it at the head of their columns as "the great creed and watchword of the Taylor I must frankly (ell you, that had you not made the declaration embraced in this letter, I. for one, could not have advocated your election, nor given von mv vole, cerium it is, mat without mis tieum (soon followed by your Charleston letter,) vou could not have sained the vote of Pennsylvania. famous for her old democratic majority of "twenty live thousand." AVhat was the result of this letter, and of the excitement immediately consequent upon its publication The whig parly in Pennsylvania forthwith dropped the very name of whig. They stored it awav perchance under the sepulchre of Girnrd's squandered bequest, maybe under the ruins of some broken bank but you well know, and every reader of the paper knows, that in the late cam pnign the battle was fought, not under the name of Vhig, but under the united names of "Taylor and Filmore." The democrats were asked to vote for you as the independent candidate the candidate of the people as the man who had no friends to reward, no enemies to punish in fact, as Zachary Taylor, who in case of his election, would not be the President of a party, but the President of the whole people.

And with your letter in my hand, I addressed thousands of my democratic fellow citizens, and, on the security of your unbroken faith, stated that you could not, in any event, become the President, much less the creature, of a party. Upon your own solemn declaration, I honestly advocated you as "the President of the whole people." I did not. for a moment indulge the thought that you could ever become the cent) of a mere party administration. Had I been told by you, that you would ever become the head of an administration made up of whig politicians, I could not, in any case, have advocated your claims, nor would you have received the votes ofa hundred democrats in Pennsylvania. Xow, General, the smoke of the contest has cleared away.

You are the President. Elected upon the faith of your solemn pledges, you are at the head of the government. Have you fulfilled these pledges 1 Ask your own heart call back that iron purpose, that clear souled integrity, which bore you through the carnage of Buena Vista survey the faces of your cabinet, and the faces of those partizans of your cabinet who now Storm the White house for the spoils of office. You pledged your faith to me, an humble citizen, and I believed you, and told my fellow citizens that you had never broken your word, and could not forget to morrow what you pledged to day. Was that letter of July 24, which I bore t'm'ough Pennsylvania, only a cunningly devised fable Was it your intention to send me forth to the masses of the people with a lie in my mouth To vouch foryour independence of party" in October, in order to find you in Ma at the head of a mere cabal of a part I Did you make a dupe of me, so that I might become your gent in duping nnd swindling my fellow citizens into the trammels of the whig party.

You know that the whig party of itself, or by its own issues, could never have accomplished your election. You know that the whig leaders, fresh from the slaughter of Henry Clay of that, man who has for twenty four years sacrificed to whig ism the best instinfit which God implanted in liis nature could never have elevated you to the presidential chair. You were elected by democratic votes. These votes were secured to you bv the force of vour in ttvueiiUeni im.M i km, lti, by your pledges. And now, sir, you will allow me to ask you one or two questions.

In what pari of your administration are these democratic votes represented Among the army of office hunters who now be seige the doors of the White House, how many of your democratic supporters can you discover Sir, the truth must be told and as I supported you earnestly and sincerely, I will speak the truth with most uneourtly frankness. Your election has been fruitful in di oiitont and dissatisfaction. Elected in the name the people, you are surrounded by advisers chosen noteven from the manhood of the whig partv, but from its veriest hacks ami trimmer. These advisers seek in entail upon the country, on a Colossal scale, a yMem of error and misrule such as disgraced the ar in the shameless expenditure of the' Girard bequest, by the whig corporation of Philadelphia. Had you been elected as a whig, and upon the strength of any known whig creed, I would not complain.

Is it nut a painful thought that you, the man of the people, should sit there in Washington as the leader of the mere fragment ofa party as the embodiment not of a whiglsm like that of l'lenry Clay, which states its principles and fights its battles in the sun, but ofa whigism which works in gathers strength by unholy coalitions, and builds upon broken pledges And now, Mr. as I wash my hands of the last traces of political Taylorism, as I state my regret that I overacted the part which your pledges made me iicr, you at least must admit that I never served you with the hope of office that I have alwavs been among that humble band who, working well and long for you, under the impression that they also worked for the good of their country, could neither ask nor accept office at your hand for those hands which were free at Buena Vista free in the late campaign are now tied by the trammels which have been fashioned from the very ruins of the whig pari v.

"We have had on hand for some time, with an intention to publish, at an early day, the famous letter of Mr. Lippard of Philadelphia to President Tavlor.

in relation to the manner in which the hero of Buena Vista had kept his pledges and to day we spread it before our Mr. Lippard was one of a class of thousands in Pennsylvania and elsewhere who forsook the democratic party and went for Zachary under the expectation and belief that his course as President would be irrespective of party lines and that he would imitate the ox ample of Washington and the earlier Presidents' in his moderation and in making qualifications (honesty, capacity and fidelity) inste; ot party i services, the requisites of office. How sadly Mr. Lippard has been disappointed will be seen by his letter. Liyprcl' letter to Geji.

Tiiylor. Philadelphia, May 2'2, 1S4'J. Will you pardon me if I make bold to say a few words to you in explanation of the reasons which induced me to support you for the office of President of the United States i These reasons may also give some idea of the motives which swayed hundreds of thousands of your fellow citizens. I am no politician. I never yet asked for an office, and certainly shall not ask one at your hands.

In speaking to you I do not lay claim to any political influence. 1 am backed by no clique 1 control no body of voters I only speak to you as a citizen of the United States, having no influence beyond my vote, and the truth which I utter. in the year 1847. while a member of the Democratic. Association of the county of Philadelphia, I began the first of a series of four works upon the history of Mexico.

That first book of the series was intended to comprise a history of your campaigns in Mexico. While writing that work, I became vividly impressed with the frankness, the iron common sense, the unswerving sincerity of your character. Sick of the warfare af parties, 1 looked to you as the man who had been called by Providence to put an end to the mercenary bitterness of this warfare, by assuming the position of Washington not with parties, but in the hearts of the people. And this idea of your character, embodied in the work to which reference is made, was diffused by its pages among a class of voters entirely distinct and separate from the whig party a class of voters who, imbued with the progressive spirit of Christianity, are opposed to the principles of the whig party, as embodied in the history of the whig corporation of Philadelphia, and who arc in favor of judicial and national reform who advocate the freedom of the public domain and the right of labor to the harvest of its toil. This idea induced me to desert my party associations, break party lines and advocate Zachary Taylor as the candidate of the people.

In the month of April, 1 848, your chances for the Presidency were vague and uncertain. The whig politicians in Philadelphia at least the most prominent of them all fairly laughed at the mention of your name in connexion with that high office. When the Baltimore Convention assembled, it was the earnest hope of thousands of the democratic masses that you would receive the nomination at the hands of the representatives of the democratic party. This hope proved fruitless. But at the whig convention, assembled in Philadelphia in June, 1848, party lines were finally broken the very spirit and front of the whig party were crushed.

Henry Clay, balloted for in the name of the whig party, failed to receive its votes, and Zachary Taylor, nominated in the name of the people," was presented to the people without any other platform than his indepenceiice from the spririt and trammels of party. Doubtless, you have often had described to yon the scenes which marked the history of tliis June convention the dismay of the whig politicians of the threefold sacrafice of whig principles, whig ptatforms, and Henry Clay, at the feet of Zachary Taylor. Nominated at this convention amid the ruins of whigim, and nominated in the name of the 5eople, the whig party did not dare to claim you as a veritable whig, of the true stamp, until the 5 th of July, 184S, when news came to Philadelphia that Hon. Bailie Peyton had inXcw Orleans, soioiniily en dorsed you as a whig, and placed your feet somewhere amid the ruins of the demolished whig platform. This statement gave inexpressible pain to thousands of yonr friends in Pennsylvania.

Wei! aware that you had not been nominated the candidate oi any party certain that you could not hy any chance be elected in the name or on the platform of the whig party your friends I speak of the masses, who loved you for yourself ana for your independent position received the statement of Mr. Peyton with an emotion that was not to be mistaken or evaded. They felt that either Mr. Peyton was in error, or that Zachary Taylor had falsified his often repeated pledges. Under the influence of this wide spread feeling, I made bold to write and 6end to you the following letter.

Its very promptness of style indicates the sincerity which impelled its composition Philadelphia, July General: Will you regard a word from a friend is impertinent or obtrusive It is afrer a great deal of reluctance that lam induced to trouble voj again but having faith in you now, as 1 have had ever since I pledged what literary reputation I po sess to you in my book "The Legend? ok Mexico. or battles of Taylor" 1 make bold to a frank word to the general of the people. This is the case. With thousands of democrats in this State, I depend upon your declaration, "that you would hi no case be the President of a partv, but the President of the people." On this ground' the democrats of Pennsylvania will vote for vou by hundreds and thousands. But we are now told that you are exclusively the whig candidate, to run as whig, elected as si whig and under whig issue If this be the case, the stale of Pensvlvania will be lost to Taylor and the country.

I do not believe this is be the'ease. Those who think with me in this country do not believe ir. But to set the matter at rest, will vou answer this letter with one line i and with that line the democratic hundreds and thousand; of Pennsylvania will move in a body for you. General, do not reject tins appeal from a man who loves you for your battles, and the moral "ran deur displayed in them but loves vou, first and last, because you have taken the position of Washington not with parties, but in the hearts of the people. And as for the line, simplv sf.U the candidate, nut of a part:" exclusively but candidate at all, the candidure of the whole people tEORG LIPPARD.

Here, General, was the whole case, plainU stated in a line. You were here toLd that if the attempt was made to elect you as a whig, and upon whig issueE, the state of would certainly be lost to Taylor, and the country. At that time.V ith thousands of democrats, I believed that your election as the candidate of the people would" subserve the best interests of the country. And what was vour reply to this letter, which appealed to the "best feelings of your nature On the 9th of August I received your answer, which I annex Private. iiATOJf Kocge, July 24, 1848, DEARtm: Your letter of the 5th of me a line or two in regard to my position as a candidate for the presidency, has been dulv received.

In reply, I have to say that I am mot a party candidate," and if elected, shall not "be a President ofa party, but the President of the whole people." I am, dear sir, with high respect and regard, your most obedient servant, Z. TAYXOK. George lippard, Philadelphia, Pa. 1 for use in our public sehools, is not wholly in ac cordance with the facts connected with the lvistorv of their introduction and without any design to kindle a spirit of controversy with regard to them, or the slightest disposition here to call in question the wisdom of the Board of liducation in its final action upon the subject, justice to Mr. Thompson' distinguished competitor would seem to warrant a more accurate or particular explanation.

Of the teachers who were requested to vote on this subject, four out of the eleven expressed a preference for Professor Davies' series, and of the School Book Committee, consisting of five members of the Board of Education, two voted for tlei adoption of Davies' books. That the report of the Book Committee, recommending Mr. Thompson's series, which, was presented in the abscence and at the request of the Chairman of the Committee, by Judge Greenwood, was adopted netn con by the Board of Education, may be attributed to two causes First, the books were admitted on all sides to possess many very excellent points in their compilation and their adaptation to the purposes for which they were designed was never called in question by any one, notwithstanding a decided preference in the minds of sonic for those of Professor D. Second, an unwillingness on the part of the minority of the book committee to offer opposition in the board to a recommendation emanating from a majority of their colleagues, and which they believed was the result ofa candid and impartial examination. It will be seen, therefore, that nearly all of the teachers," as stated in the 'Eagle, was in the proportion of seven to four, and the unanimous vote of the committee" as three to two and these gentlemen admitting the influence of the teachers' vote, in forming a decision.

The wumiuii ty with which the committee's report was adopted by the board especially when viewed in connection with the well known fact that gentlemen whose time will not permit a critical investigation of the relative merits of the various and multitudinous school books, are usually governed in their action by the school book committee's recommendation while, even under these circumstances, highly complimentary to Professor Thompson, can scarcely be published to the world in strict justice either to Professor Davies or to those members of the board who (as was known) preferred his book. The undersigned in conclusion would without pretending to claim any credit for yielding to the views of a majority of the book committee, he is constrained to add, that had more of the same spirit prevailed in the board some four years since when upon the unanimous report of the book committee nnd that too, after very much patient and laborious investigation, certain books were recommended for adoption, no doubt is entertained that the momentous interests intrusted to us would have been increasingly promoted, and the amenities of social intercourse more uninterrupt edly preserved.

of Com. on School Books. June 1 1, 1849. The Missionary Meeting. The Missionary meeting at the Sands street Methodist Church last evening was an occasion of very considerable in terest.

The object was to aid the Juvenile Missionary Society attached to the Sunday School in their endeavors to support a German missionary in already been raised among the children, but as this was not sufficient to answer the end in view, the juveniles had called on the seniors for aid. Rev. Dr. Bangs took the chair and was surrounded by a galaxy of ministers. The report was read by a young man who failed to make himself heard beyond the front seats and we were therefore none the wiser for the facts which it communicated.

Rev. Mr. Hodge (not Hodgeson as was announced in our paper) then took the floor and made a most excellent speech. It was both happy in matter and in manner, and was listened to with undivided attention. He v.

Mr. Milbourne followed. We bo ieve tliathe is the blind preacher about whom much has been said in the papers, lie is quite young looks well; and has a fine voice and manner. He is, too, very fluent and his sentences well construct ed and flowing but he greatly lacks in genius and mental power. He was followed on the floor by Dr.

Pitman, who was exceedingly happy in the few remarks that he made. Among other things he said that the first German mission of the Methodist church was established about twelve years ago, and that during these twelve years, they had increased to one hundred, while the membership had grown to over six thousand, a large part of whom vxic converts from Jiomanusm. The meeting was closed with a collection, the amount of which we have not learned. The choir of the church performed their part of the services admirably. They have some fine voices and have been well" drilled." P.

The mission of this gentleman with his present church, the First Methodist Episcopal, is ended. On next Sabbath evening he preaches his last serican before the Society, and in parting from him, its members will feef that they have indeed sustained a loss.

As a husband and a father, he stood preeminent among his fellow men. In his profession he endeared himself to all who knew him.

The very meanest person who applied to him for professional advice received the same deference that he exhibited In the wealthy. His heart was ever dive to the sorrows of his fellow beings. In him the poor found an advisor, and a friend. Indeed his place cannot be supplied. He seemed to live for the benefit of others; and his heart and hand were ever open to the needy, who found in him the qualities of the good Samaritan.

The day of his burial was the. the thirtieth anniversary of his landing in this country. He was a native, of wales and like his countrymen generally was ofa thrifty disposition. His industry was crowned with success and he was thereby enabled to accu mutate property but his success opened his heart in teod of closing it, as is too often the case. He had a lively faith in the mercies of his creator liv ing the life of the christian, and dying the christian's death.

His loss will be felt by his numerous friends most sensibly, as well as by his surviving son and daughters, who are inconsolable. His age was 70, but he was so enfeebled by bodily afflictions, that he carried the appearance of 90 years. His wife was consigned to the tomb about a month since.

It is very likely that the next tidings from France will be of a warlike tenor. The fire is but just kindled; amidst so inflammable a people as the French, we shall not be surprized to see it become a conflagration. The interferance of the Russian arms, in the quarrel between Hungary and Austria, furnishes a fair occasion and just pretext for hostilities.

There is some plausible ground for saying that the fate of all the European republics is connected with that of Hungary, and if that of Hungary be crushed, an attempt will be made to crush the others in turn.

II mut.s Or Conversations. find the annexed remarks on the subject quoted in the Episcopal Recorder as containing sound and seasonable advice.

'W'c advise all young people to acquire in early life, the habit of using good language both in speaking and writing, and to abandon as early as possible the use of slang words and phrases. The longer they live, the more difficult the acquisition of such language will be, and if the golden age of vouth the proper season for the acquision of language, be passed in its abuse, the unfortuate victim of neglected education is very probably doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not necessary to this ed ucation. Every man has it in his power. He has merely to use the language which he hears, to form his taste from the popular speakers, writers, and poets of the country, to treasure up choice phrases in his memory, and habituate himself to their use avoiding at the same time that pedantic precision and bombast, which bespeak rather the weakness of a vain ambition than the polish of an educated mind.

There is no man, however low in rank, who may not materially benefit his financial condition by following this advice, and cultivating at the same time such morals and manners as correspond in character with good words."

Reason for a moment, reader The cause of cholera I already in the systt.n when the relaxed condition of tho bowels commences.

The diarrhea, whether it be regarded as a premonitory symptom of speedy attack, or whether It Is the actual commencement of the "disease itself, is only a .11 that Natore has commenced her efforts to remove from the system tho causes of the disease. She, iu accordance with that law of our beingwhich lends toourpre serration, sets herself to work to free the system from that morbid matter which it has imbibed from some cause or other, which in the cose of cholera is not as yet fullv understood. Should medical science check, retard this operation of Nature, or aid it by Ihose appropriate remedies which are most conducive to that end? Should we give opiates, soporifics, the known of which arc to lessen or destroy the na. tural action nnd motion of the living fiber, the natural peristaltic motion of the intestinal canal, so necessary to carry off from the body the morbid matter which is the cause of" disease The least particle of common sense is aU that is necessary Ui ennble all to reply to these interrogatories. To check the relaxed state of the bowels, under circumstances like these, is miserable praclice, and shows conclusively the extreme ignorance of those who advise it.

All medical men knovv that opium diminishes all tho secretions and excretions of the system. 'The evacuations, after taking opium are clay colored, owing to an almost total suspension of the biliary secretion. It diminishes the sensibility of the stomach and jwels, which leads to a suspension, partial or total, of all the reguliu actions of the body. Thus it tends to lock tip in the system all the morbid humors, the presence of which causes disease, and the removal of which would restore health. If the efforts of Nature to remove disoase cause Increased action in the excretory organs, and the blood is get ing rid of its impurities, by throwing them into the intestinal canal, preparatory to their final exit from the Bystem, opium checks all these operations, and retains the cause of death, in the system.

Can a practice exist more suicidal thnn this That a body ofleuraed men, having all the advantages of medical education, familiar with the effects of medicine, who ought at least to have a correct knowledge or the cause of disease, should make such suggestions to their fellow citizens on any occasion of so much importance, affords another evidence of the prevailing ignorance and charlatanry that still exists in the practice of medicine. Opium is the quack's sheet anchor. It entereinto the eom pusuioii ui uie various syrups, Diusams, elixirs, cougn orops and most of the other charlatan remedies for the cure of disease. It blunts the susceptibility to impressions of pain or danger it awakens the fancy or imagination that health is improving it soothes to composure but only that disease may the more firmly secure its hold, and more' certainly terminate iu death. My object iu thus controverting the fallacies of the Medical Counsel i3, to guard the community against the inevitable evil consequences that would result from following their advice in cases of cholera.

During the prevalence or probable approach of this fatal malady, 1 would advise all to aid Nature in nil cases where she makeB an effort to throw off disease. If relaxation of the bowels comes on, resort to pvroative remedies. Take a doBe of Bra NDREtjj'b Pills, and repeat it until a healthy condition of the stomach and bowels supervenes, One valuable suggestion Is found in tho Report of the Medical Counsel. They say "Violent purgative medicxkbs; are CAi.cn.ATKD To no" mischief." This is true. Avoid all mercurial purgatives, saline purgatives, and indeed aU the drastic purgatives of the drug shops prescribed by doctors Take the Vkoetaule Universal Pills of Dr.

Brandreth, which remove only the morbid humors of the system, and do ihiiitate and nrfl to the great prostration of the physical and vital powers of the bodv, which are so pecuharly in nil cases of cholera. They are Nature's aid in disease. hen she is too weak to accomplish her work, they perform it for her. The Counsel suggest that great attention bo paid clean streets, sewers, lanes, and alleys. All "sources of mill and impurity," such is their languagcshould be prompt removed by the public authorities and everv citizen houtd keep watchful eye about his premises, "and tf bis Hons are inadequate for the removol or filth, ho should call upon the Board of health for aid." All this is right and proper but how strange il is what a striking contrast there between this suggestion and that which advises the people to lock up all Iho filth in their system by taking laudanum lie veins and arteries or the living body, through which tho blood of life flows, and the great intestinal canal through which the system is nourished, ami idl the superincumbent, useless matter filth or impurities, are thrown out or tho system Currying out tho idea or the learned Medical Counsel, in this one respect, at least, we would suggest that while tho cholera exists among us.

or threatens our people with on attack, that each citizen examine well his own premises." tho condition of tho system, and if he fears an attack of cholera from loo great an accumulation of filth or morbid matter, so that he is inadequate to effect a removal, that he caUs, not upon Ihe Board of Health, for a id and assistance, but at some place where Dr, Bkanhretii's Vegetable Pills may be Had. These will sneedily remove the filth and impurities from the sewers and canals of his svstem, and restore bim to health. Reader, is not thi3 a comnion sensc criticism upon tho use ot opium as advised in the reporter which I speak? Not one of this Medical Counsel dare denv but that the effects which I have attributed to opium do "most certainly follow its administration. It is painful to witness tho promulgation ol opinions so crude, so inconsistent with the well established laws of disease, and the method of removing it, and that too by men whose profession is that of medicine.
