it who knows the facts. The educated and
Chrisiianzed high chiefs and intelligent halt
breeds have all along been soothing down the
oppressed Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaw $
and Creeks, by promising them cerIain relief
on the election of Harrison and Tyler. John
Ross (whom PolnseJt refused 10 acknowledged
has just been recognized as lhe constitutional
''high chief of the Cherokees" He is here
now with his delegation, and looks no more
like what we call an Indian than do.
The whole swarm of Indian agents and su-
perintendents employed by the late adminis,ra-
lions are to be swept out with the besom Of
destruction" Their places will be filled with
responsible men, acceptable both to the lndi-
ans and the border settlers. New England,
that has ever had so loud voice for the op-
pressed Cherokees, will rejoice at the change
which etfaces the disgrace of that dcceilful,
rapacious policy towards the Aboriglnes, pur-
sued by government for the last twelve years.

THE CONSTITUTION.

What is that we call the Constitution The
constitution is evidently that which constitutes,
and that which constitutes is the blood. We, there
fore, know that the blood is the constitution and
that good or bad constitution is neither more nor
less than good or bad state the blood. THERE'S
no person who, having lost health, does not wish 10
have it restored. Use then the proper means. EH-
pei with Purgattre Medicine all currupt huulors
from the body, and the blessing, Health, will be
the certain result for all pains or unpleasant feel
ings proceed from the presence of corrupt or VI
tiated humors, which are the real cause of every
disease, and therefore the only disease to which the
human frame is subject because they clog up the
veins and arteries and prevent the free circulation
of the blood.
BrandretFs Vegetable Umrersal Pills cure this
disease: because they remove the corrupt or VI
tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving
the good humors to give life and health to the bo
dy. 1t is morally impossible that they fail 10
cure, provided Nature is not entirely exhausted.

CURING PRACTICE.

The principle of purifying the body by purg-
ing with vegetable phySic is becoming more and
more understood as the only sensible method by
which sound health can be established. Hun
dreds of individuals have become convinced of
this doctrine, and are daily acknowledging the
practice to be the best ever discovered Now
is the unhealthy season when our bodies are
liable to be affected with disease; and now is
the time the state of the stomach and bowels
should be attended TO, because on the healthy
state of those organs depends the healthy state
Of the general system; and every one will see at
once if the general health be bad while that re-
mains, local disease cannot be cured
All the medicine that is requisite to restore
the BODY to stale ofhcalth is Brondreth's Veg
etable Universal Pills, which have performed
cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless
persons, after the usual scientific skill of ply
sicians have consoled them with the assurance
that they could do no more. The properties of
these Pills as anti-bilous and aperient medicine
are unrivalled; all who use them recommend
them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must
be used to be appreciated. The weak and del
icate will be strengthened by their use, not by
bracing but hv removing the cause of weakness,

To Dr. Harrison, Dear Sir, l write to con-
graduate you ON the extraordinary virtue of yCnr
Specific Ointment in the curing of burns. 4
little boy of mine, years old, fell against tine
fireplace three weeks since, when his clothes be
becaue ignited, and he was instantly enveloped
in flames. After some difficulty the fire was ex-
tinguished, but not before the poor little fellows
lower extremities were almost covered with coz
tinual blister. Having much faith in your oin,-
ment, Immediately purchased three boxes, which
applied unsparingly, according to your direc-
tions in such cases; and it is with great pleasure
and gratitude, that am able to inform you that il
allayed the pain in few hours; and in ten days
had effected complete cure. l need scarcely
add that it ought to be in the possession of eve
ry family, as there is no telling when such acci-
deEts may occur. Yours respectfully,

until two Of the forts at the passage Of the

The following, which we find in
the Boston Post, is almost incredi-
BILE.
On Saturday we called to sec two
little boys, who have been treated
with almost incredible cruelty for
some months, by the superintendent
of the Farm School, an individual
named Locke. Their bodies are COW
cred with scars and wounds, inflicted
with a raw hide, which lacerated the
flesh in most shocking manner
They are marked and cut from head
to foot-before and behind-on the
ribs, and even on the inner side of
the thigh. In addition to this in the
winter they were compelled to 90
barefoot on the frozen beach and
farm, as punishment, and in conse-
quence their feet became frozen
They were also subjected to the tor
ture of having several buckets of
cold water dashed upon them, with
their heads tied, so as to keep their
faces upward to receive the shock,
These atrocious punishments were
inflicted for some alledged violation
of the discipline of the Institution, but
no offence which a lad could commit
could justify the cruelty practised
upon the boys in question Their
awful condition was discovered by
their friends by sheer accident on
Monday. Locke superciliously re-
fuses to answer any questions put
to him on the subject The parents
of the children, George McLennan
and his brother, Broad street, oppo-
site Arch Wharf, paid dollar week
for their board.
