I make no apology for venturing to address your Lordship, the great importance of the subject will be, I trust, deemed sutlicient. The preventive is simple: a teaspoonful of powdered char- coal taken three or four times a week in a cup of coffee, or other vehicle in the morn- 'ing. When attacked with Cholera, a mix- ture of an ounce of charcoal, an ounce of laudanum, and an ounce of brandy or other Aes 'Spirits, may be given as follows--after being well shaken, a teaspoonful every five minutes. In half an hour, I have known this effectually to relieve and stay the. dis- ease, as the patient becomes better, the mixture may be given at longer intervals. I have known.a patient in the blue stage and - collapsed, perfectly recovered in a few iiours. _ The above was tried as a preventive ona large plantation in the Mauritius, and not a single individual out of eight hundred wa attacked with the Cholera." ee S- Oe amoung Lunatics. Asylum near this city, devoted to the indi- - gent insane, took w.th him a little boy some three years old, and it was an interesting study to watch the effect which the presence of the young visitor produced among lunatics of every grade. touching manifestations of the softening and subduing influence of childhood were ex- : hibited by those who were ordinarily most intractable. This was particularly the case with those who had passed the season of youth. One man, incurably insane, approach- ed the little boy with a countenance for the - moment full of gentleness and kindness, and _ with a polite gesture handed him a straw-- _ being all he had to give--and showed great 'Satisfaction when it was accepted, and borne _asifit had been of value. Almost all ap- ' proached and shook hands with the infant, and so mild was their bearing that he did not for a moment hesitate, and although ubashed at what was to him an unusual _ crowd, he cheerfully yielded his little hand to their caresses. -- But the most interesting scene was in the women's apartments. They were ready to ~ devour the child with their caresses, and yet when they observed that their crowding and _ volubility annoyed him, instinctively with- _ drew a little and modulated their voices to tones of tenderness, to which many of them had long been 'strangers. One of the wo- men, herself a mother, inquired with tearful eyes--"Dear little fellow, is his mother living?" An affirmative reply seemed to relieve her apprehensions, and expression of 'Interest assumed a more cheerful tone, "The ot most violent, closely confined in cells, watch- ed every movement of the boy with intense Interest, and some begged, by all the _ affection for their own offsprine--which in- sanity in its worst form had not eradicated -- _ to be permitted toembrace him... The whole Scene was calculated to deepen the sympa- thy felt for the most unfortunate class who were the object of the visit; and to show how strongly the society of children is cal- _ culated to win back to gentleness those who, from any cause, have passed that indefina- 'ble line which separates the sane from the 7 insane. Such soothing effects are of course transient, but it was something to obtain for oe si ae souls even a moment. of calm di delight--V. Y.

The policy necessary to the preservation of this elemen must be 2 our favor, it ever we expect the enjoy- ment, freedom, sovereignty, and equality of rights anywhere.' For this' purpose, and to this end, then, all colored men in lavor of emigration out ot the United States, aud opposed to the American Colonization sheme of leaving the Western Hemisphere, are requested to meet in CLEVE- LAND, O10, on FUESDAY, the 24th DAY of AUGUST, 1854, in a great NATIONAL CONVENTION, then anu there, tu consider and decide upon the great and important subject of emigration trom the United States. No person will. be admitted 'toa seat in the Convention, who would introduce the subject. of emigration to the Kastern Hemisphere--either to Asia, Atrica, or Europe--as our object and de- termindlion. is to consider our claims to the West Inaies, Central and. South. America, and the Canadas. This restriction has no reference to personal preterence, or individual enterprise ; but lo the greal question of national claims to eome before the Convention. All persons coming te the Convention must bring credentials properly authenticated, or bring verbal assurance to the Committee on Creden- lials--appointed for tne purpose--of' their fidelity to the measures and objects set forth in this Call as the Convention is specifically by and for the friends of emigration, and NONE OLHERS-- and NO opposition to them will be entertained. 'The question is hot whether our conditiun ¢an be. bettered by emigration, but whether it can be made worse. Ji not, then, there is no part of the wide-spread universe, where our social and poli- tical condilion are nol better than here in our na- live country, and nowhere in the world as here proscribed on ace unt of color. We are triends, too, and. ever will stand shoulder to shoulder by our brethren, and all our friends in all good measures adopted by them tor the bettering of our condition in this country, and surrender ho tigits but with oar Jast breath'; but as the subject of emigration is of vital importance, and has ever been shunned by all delegated as- semblages of our people as heretofore met, we cannot. longer delay, and will not be further battled ; and deny the right of our most sanguine friend or dearesi brother, to prevent an intelligent enqniry to, and thy carrying out of these measures, When this can be done, to' our entire advantage aS We propose:to show in Convention--as. the West Indies, Cential and. South: America--the majority of which are peupled by.our biethren, or those identified with us in race, and what is. more, destiny, on this continent--all stand with open arms and yearning hearts, importuning us in the name of suffering humanity to come--to make common cause, and share one common fate on the continent. - The Convention will meet without fail, at the time fixed for' assembling, as 'none*but those fa- vurable to emigration.are admissable ; theretore no other gathering may prevent it. The number of delegates will not ve restricted--except in the town where the Convention may be held---and there the number will be decided by the Conven- lion when assembied, that they may not too far ex- ceea the other delegations. The time and p.ace fixed for holding the Con- vention are ample ; affording sufficient time, and a leisure season generally--and as Cleveland is now the centre of all directions--a good and fa- vorable opportunity to all who desire to attend.-- 'Uheretore;. it may reasonably be the greatest gathering of the colored people ever before assem- bled in a Convention in the United States: 'Colonizationists are advised, that' no' favors will be shown to them or their expatriating scheme, as we have no sympathy with the enemies of our race.
