LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. TPON WHOM DOES THE RESPONSIBILITY REST? TO THE EDITOR OF TH HERALD, Before deciding to hang all of the citizons of Staten Island |t were well for the New Yorkers who have been wo liberal in bestowing epithets upon them to pans for a moment, and if possible to fancy themselves in the po- wition which our eit!y ani oscupied for so many long Feare, or at least te investigate thoroughly the history of the Gatrantine ertablishment before accepting as gospel tothe the statements which emanate from the Health Officer, or from bis mouth pieces. When Dr, Thompson came bere, wearly four years wince, it suppreed tbat be came ae guardian of the Bealth of New York city and suburbs, pledged to place an tmpaseidie barrier between the eick confided to hia care aad the neighboring population, and to devots his entire sce to tne «coomplishment of this purpose.

This novel warfare is more successful; the fever ie dieseminated along the shore, and in two weeks’ t'me six or seven hundred per- soe are forced to fly for very life. Twenty-three are stricken with disease, and nine dic. Immediately boore the destruction of the hospitals it was discov: by the city officifils that the brig Rattler, which had jast come 4 from Quarantine, gave shelter to two intividuals sick wit yellow fever, and It hes been asserte?, aad without con- tradictian, that there were despatched to Quarantine ia & passenger boat. Orders wore given for the immediate removal of the brig. This led to remonstrances on the part of her ownere, when the Mayor iesned the mandate— “Send ber down immediately, and if necessary scuttle ber, and I wil! be responsible for the consequencea.”” She was cent down, and at nightfall was moored against the dock, within ganahot of private dwellings. Now, we are coolly told by those who control the ship ping interest of New York, “that inasmush as the Qa rantine was locsted here before the villages were tos exietense, that, therefore, who were annoyed by its presence could go away.” Eminent)y satisfactory reasoning. Why was not the same argument applied to thoee bo | around Warhing- ton square, then Potter's Field, and to those who with the jowtb of the city moved up in the neighborhood of the Smallpox Hospital, Lonatic Asylum, House of Refuge, &v., formerly between Twelfth and Twenty-sixth streste? Why" were not the Brooklynites christened ‘‘Sspoys,”” when, three years ago, they destroyed the Smallpox Hospital, and removed ite inmates acrces the street? Has no ove heard of the eummary removal of soap-fat establish ment on account of tts fumes, or of a slaughter honse, or ‘an off] depot by the very people who are now so lou) ‘n their denunciations’ But we are told to wait with patience and resignation, and that in the meantime the ealin 0° fleer will stand by us. Wait for what, and from what source Is succor to come? Is it the purpose of New York- ers to throw thelr protecting arms around the Quarantine until Staten Island ie converted into a cemetery, until the thousend cottages and villas are tenantiess ‘and foreaken ‘until grass grows rapkly in our thoroughfares? What peo- ple under beaven have waited so long and submitted #0 Patiently to euch indignities? We appeal to the Legislature, and the hospital is orderea to be removed: our Grand Ja- riee bave tw ce indicted it; and till, year after year, ithas loomed lofuly up—an effectual berrlér between our citizens an health, and happiness.
