Moreover, a Colonial Council is ere
ated with various powers, among which
lis that of proposing, through the Pre-
sIdent OF the Council ot Ministers, who
is to be placed over it, whatever mea-
sures it may deem expedient for the CO.

The Captain General Of each colo
ny, respectively, is to conduct its pecu-

A CENTENARIAN.-John Vanhoosier
lives in the county Of Jefferson, Ten
nessee, and he voted for Gen. Washing
ton for the Presidency. He is in the
l99d year of his age.
Until recently, the Knoxville Tenn.
Register tells US, he was in the habit of
walking to and from that town on calls
of business, distance of five or six
miles. without experiencing fatigue
He is a German by birth, but emigrated
to this country about one hundred years
since. He was in several important
battles of the revolution. He voted for
Gen. Washington for President of the
United States, and boasts that he has
never, failed at any election for Presi-
dent, to vote the Wing ticket. Recent.
ly one of his daughters, fine lass of
eighty years of age, paid him visit,
and found the old gentleman in his
usual health, We doubt if another
such case of longevity can be found in
the United States.

From Arnold Bunum, the PhIInurhropI.t.

DR.. BrEndreth, my dear friend, Ifto be good
and to do good is the highest duty ofman and
if to do good is the best evidence a man can
give that he is good, then feel bound to ad-
dress thee as one who has come up to the mark
Of mans destiny
AS a testimony that this Is not vain hattery,
give the following brief sketch Of my OWL ex-
perience:
When l was twenty years old, was very
sick for about two mon tbs with what my physi-
clan called "Slnw Fever,7 during which time
took much medicine; from that time for 81
years, was very often sick and under the care
of physician. About twelve years ago had
u very severe attack of InAammatory Rheu-
matism, during which | was attended by DR..
Moore, Of Philadelphia. / then regarded N.Y.
self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave Soon after
wards, however, l purchased box Of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, TO be
more effectual in removing disease, than any
medicine had ever tried before, replenish-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
years in the Western Country, where / was
very much exposed to vicissitudes likely to
produce disease; twice j have crossed the At
Tlantic Ocean, and have now spent the last four
years in an Office in this sickly city. Once
while travelling in the West. was taken sud-
Gedly very i'll, the friend al whcse house stop
ped called in a phy'ician, who made a very
careful examination Of my case, and then pro-
posed TO commence a process which he stated
would so reduce my system as TO c0nfine me TO
the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took a dose Of Braudreth's
Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel. and
i he On1,r nf haf oil
by physician since purchased the first box of
Brandreth's Pills l2 years ago.
My health is now vastly setter than it hut
been for "a years before commenced the use
ofthese Pills. They have been my constant
companion wherever have been, by land or
by sea, and my only medicine; / am now
ten pounds heavier than | was before | used
them; when | take a cold now, | have no
cough, and l attribute all this change, under
| God, to the substitution of Brandreth's Pills,
( for the frequent bleeding and the calomel dos
| ing to which ] was before subjected. My wife,
! too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
terrupted good health. Oar Doctors bill fof
both Of us, have not amounted TO FIVE dol ars in
twelve years. When we find our health i'm.
paired from any cause, we take dose Of Bran
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty is removed,
| and judging from my own experience, / believe
II every Ianlly snouiu adopt tne same priCttCe'
the health and the longevity Of the communi-
ty would be greatly promoted.
Most respectfully thy friend,

The scheme for amending the Tar
if, which ! informed you had been
concocted BY some Pennsylvania
members, proper and lobby members,
was offered yesterday, in committee
Of the whole, (Mr. Meade in the
chair) as an amendment to the de-
iciency bill, which was under con-
sideTation. TIE chairman ruled il
out OF order as irrelevant, and his
decision was sustained. Probably
his decision would have been re-
versed, if the scheme of the Pennsyl-
vanians had embraced a provision
relative TO colored and fine cotton
goods, satisfactory TO the New Eng
landers.
Another occasion will be embrac-
ed for offering that or some other
scheme TO the House. One OF the
features of the Pennsylvania scheme
cannot be popular one. II propo'
ses that the average price OF goods
for ten years past. shall be ascer.
tanned and that certain amount o'
duties upon that Ualaation shall be
collected off Of goods hereafter to
come from abroad, and not a Ger
tain per centage on the goods them
selves at their existing value. Thi:
lis a system Of "whipping the devi
round the stump" which cannot bt
popular with the people. If 30 pei
cent. or so per cent. or 100 per cent
even, be necessary, let the amount
be put on, in flat footed terms, al
the goods imported ten years ago.
The people will then be able to SCI
and understand what The law ma
kers have done. Go back len year

Why not as well, in justice and equi
