New York, Sanday, June 16, 1844, unsettled as ever; that there 1s a principle of an- Extra Session of Congress. It is now generally understood that the President will call Congress together in September, and | throw before them additional matter relative to Texas and other subjects. This will create @ pro- | digious political exe:tement throughout the country, and operate on the Presidential election terribly. Will Morse’s magnetic telegraph be then ready % Sir C. Metcalf and the great majority of the Colo- will be able to allay, unless he retraces the inju- dicious steps that they have led him into. The doctrine of responsible government isstill the vexed question ; it rages with all the ardor of the solar heatjin the dog-days, and if anything were wanting toshow the unsettled state of men’s minds,it is more than supplied by the fact thatat this season of tie year, when people should be making the most of the very limited time, that in that rigorous climate is availeble for business and industrial pursuits, a large share of it is taken up in political contention and the evolutions of opposite parties. The present Governor is adinitted by all to be a man of excelient private character, but has just been as unfortunate in conciliating that hostility which his predecessor, Sir C. Bagot, successfully allayed by a wise and liberal policy, as he is respec- ted in private life. Sir C. Metcalf came to Canada ata highly favorable juncture of circumstances. The reform party were beginning to forget in the open, honest and manly administratien of Sir C. Bagot, the wily, and high-handed policy ef Lord sydeuham, they were quite tired of an agitation and civil war of five or six years duration, and as many new governors in the same period. It is hardly possible chat a sensible man like hit would not be instructed by the past, and act accordingly, if in- structions from the colonial office, quite of a piece with the well known principles that govern the public conduct of the head of that department, did not fetter, and embarrass him, and deprive him o! the exercise of his discretion and sound judgment. In no other way can we account for his imprudent quarrel with the Executive Council, about the mean- ing of responsible government; his dissolution of the House of Assembly, when he must have known that a new appeal to the people would have given a result more unfavorable to his views. The remo- val of the seatot government too, was ill managed, so awkwardly indeed, thatit excited the ill will, of the iohabitants of Canada West, without making an additional friend in the eastern section of the Province. One of the worst features in the aspect of Cana- dian affairs now is the increase of party strife and religious animosity ; and above all, that execrable and blasting domination of the Orange mania, which cursed Ireland, and 1s suspected by many to have had a large share in the outrageous anti-Cath- olie proceedings at Philadelphia lately. A very strange intimacy and corresponde: ce has been dis- covered lately between Sir Charles Metcalf and Col Ogle R Gowan, the redoubtable Grand Mas- er of the Orangemen in Canada, in which, it is asserted, his Excellency made some advances to secure the vaiuable services of this liberal Orange- man in an official capacity. We do not say it must be true “ because it ia in the paper,” but there cer- tainly has not yet been a sufficient disclaimer ot the authenticity of the published correspondence be- tween the Orange Grand Master and the delegate of her Majesty, and that very same topic, dressed as it is with acrimony and ardor, will not serve to narrow the breach between the parties concerned, and it will ap,ear in the sequel as another of the awkward positions in which his Excellency has contrived to place himself. 3 Nordo we think his wisdom is a whit mere appa- rent in the sanctioning the long epistles of the Kev. Egerton Ryerson, put forth as a vindication of his policy. He must be hard pressed by his keen pursuers when he enlists in his defence, it may be to cover his retreat, the fluent pen of a Methodist parson. If the question were merely a war of words, and one ‘hat could be decided by he toughest argumentation, such an ally would be a great accession of strength, but however the mat- ter is twisted and darkened, it mustcome round to the real issue at last, and that is, whether the repre- sentatives of the people are not those best qualified. to legislate for the colony, and elso to judge of who are best adapted to discharge the duties o1 public gervants—to pronounce upon who will per- form the functions of the executive department, and also in what, and how shall be their remunera- tion. All this is still in avery ambiguous attitude at present in Canada, aud must be defined before it settles down in peace and contentment. State of the Couniry—The Great Questions | placed before the Pcople for Deelsion, Congress adjourns on Monday, and thus have } placed before the peopl, for decision at the polls! Next autumn, inthe Presidential election, all the Sreat questions of the day with which they have been agitated during the session. The Texas an- nexation question hasbeen thrice thrown ont of the Senate—the reduction of the Tariff question has been ejected from the House—so also has the re- duction of the present rates of postage, and a new modification ot the Post Office laws. mbracing these and ethers not introduced into Congress we have the following important ques- tions involved in the approaching election for next President, and which will be passed upon by three millions cf votersia November:— 1. The Immediate Annexation of Texas. 2. The occupation of ali the Oregon Territory. 8. The modification and reduction of the present Tariff to a mere revenue standard. 4. A national currency, involving a new national bank or some other general system, probably like that of Sir Robert Peel’s. 5. The distribution of the sales of public lands to relieve the delinquent States. 6 The encouragement and patronage of works of [nternal improvement of a great national cha- racter. 7. A reform and reduction in the present rates of postage. 8. A modification of the present naturalization laws. These questions will now be placed before the country for discussion, and will possess an influ- ence, more or less, on the election between the Whigs and Democrats, between whom the real contest takes place—for we class the Tyler, Mor- mon, and-Abolition nominations, as mere fractions and eccentricities, not capable of changing the great current of events. These are the questions, and here are the an- swers. The Whigs, with Mr. Clay, are in tavor of the present tariff—in favor of a distribution of the public lands—in favor of internal improveiments— in favor ofa new re-organization of the currency by creating a great bank of issue. The Democrats, with Polk astheir candidate, are opposed to all these measures. Again, the Whigs are apposed to the annexation ef Texas—somewhat opposed in taking possession of all Oregon in case of the re- fusal of England—opposed to any change in the ex- isting tariff; while the Democrats are decidedly in favor of all these measures. On the subject of areduc tion of the postage rates and a repeal of the natu- ralization laws, both parties have given no general or distinct manifestation, They are open for both hereafter. This is the position of the country. The leading questions, however, which will agitate the two parties will be Texas, the Tariff and the currency. On the Texas question the democracy will endea- vor to raise all the war feeling of the people against England io turn the tide against the whigs, and to stimulate all their prejudices against Mexico and its policy. This too will be a very effective wea- pon against the whigs in the south and west, but not so operative in the north. The whigs will en- deavor to rua principally on the tariff question in the north—with what success we will see. The currency and other questions will only be inciden- tal. Such is the general view. What are the chances? The nomination of Polk by the demo- cracy was looked upon generally as a farce on is first announcement—but time has reconciled all their fictions and cliques to its necessity, and it is ly probable that the contest between Polk and Clay will be more equal than any one sup We still think the chances are in favor of Mr Clay and of the party he represents—but yet the conduct of England and Mexico en the Texas qa-stion might give an advaatage to the Polk party in rousing the war feeling in this country that would injure Mr. Clay’s prospects, and benetit Mr. Pol The balance is yet inclined to Clay. Time wiil tell the rest. Mexico.—Our last advices from this couutry are to the first of last month. There had been an earthq iake—and rumors of several commotions in the interior.

We suppose that as soon as the rejection of that treaty by the Senate reaches Texas, we sha!l hear of some important movement touching a treaty of aliiance with an European power. Chagria, it no- thing else, may produce this movement. The tide of emigration was setting strongly into the country. The Ocean, froin Antwerp, brought 90, and reports a yet larger number preparing to emigrate. The emigrants are of the most valuable kind. The contest for the Presidency was conducted pretty sharply, and partakes strongly of the contests in this republic. The rival candidates are Edward Burlueson and Anson Jones. A large amount of bus ness has lately been done at Houston ia cotton. One house has purchased some 2000 bules; two other dealers have transacted a very fairbusiness.

Tris not at all difficult to explain this melancholy phenomenon. Much of the nard fortune of the drama, in this latter day, is to be atiributed to the conduct of the heroes of the sock and buskin them- selv s. We have had one set of Thespians, claim- ing for themselves exclusive right and title to dra- matic empire, setting themselves up as the tip-top of respectable society, and looking on none with more sovereiga contempt than on their poor bre- thren of the profession who had not succeeded so well as themselves in ascending the ladder of pop- ularity or assurance, as the case might be. We have had this set thus treating with scorn and con- tumely their professional brethren, and playing off all sorts of antics, exciting the ridicule or pity of the spectator, whilst at the other end of the profes- sion we have had another and a larger set, grovel- ling in the mire of vice and poverty. Between the two, the poor legitimate drama has been reduced to its present 1icketty, asthmatic condition. The folly, stupidivy, ignorance, and want of prin- ciple on the part of many of the theatrical mana- gers has also had a great share in the degradation of the legitimate drama. But one of the chief causes has been the great change in the public taste. The public have lost their relish for witnessing the dull and tedious representation of five act tragedies. They now prefer the light, amusing, graphic sketch- es of society, of the follies of the day, of the men and manners of the time, which are produced at the small theatres. Vandevilles, farces, petit come- dy, these are the dramatic productions for which now-a-days thereis a market, and in this city and Haytt.—We have accounts frem this model black republic to the 2d inst.

Beacon Covass, Hosoxen, Jung 15, 1844.—Two matches were announced to come off this day, which for some time past has excited considerable attention in the sporting world, particularly among the admirers of good trotting throughout the States; particularly that between Ripton and Con- fidence. This was a match made last winter be- tween the owners of the horses, und at that time there certainly could not be known what the “chapter of accidents” might turn up. However, both came to the mark to-day to decide the long pending point. About half past four o’clock the animals appeared onjthe ground, accompanied by their vehicles, the latter quite new for the occa- sion. Thefwagon which Ripton was to draw, it is said did not exceed 70 pounds in weight, while the sulky of Confidence was almost, if net quite, the same in weight; the former it was generally sup- posed was not strong enough for the contest, but as some persons think that new brooms must ne- cessarily sweep cleanest, so it was that this new light gingerbread wagon was persised in being tried. The animals appeared not in first rate order Ripton came to the scratch with one leg bound up, which looked ominous; the other did not appear in temper quite at home yet under the able hands of W. Whelan was kept within something like de- cent bounds, The attendance was much more numerous and respectable than could have been porsibly expected considering the inconvenient day for men ef business upon which the match came off. The track was in first rate order, the proprie- tors having evidently taken every pains with it pre- viously, to render it satisfactory in this respect. The first piece of Sort announced was ,a match for $500, two mile heats, to go as they pleased, joy and Quaker, but asthe tume approached fot ting, it was found that the former had compromised the match by paying $150 to the latter, in preference to venturing a trot for the whole sum. The betting, previons to the grand match of the day was8 to 5 on Ripton, take 6 to 10; but very little wasdone Near upon five o’clock the horses were harnessed for the grand match for $2,000, between the B. g. Ripton, to go toa wagon (H Woodruff; plaid jacket and white sleeves, and blue cap; and B.g. Confidence, to go to a sulky (W. Whelan, white jacket and black cap. At the second aa to go the word was given, and they went forth, Confidence on the inside lead- ing round the bottom, where she broke and gave the front to Ripton, and at the quarter, where he was in front some six lengthe, but soon after he broke, and Confidence changed places with him, much owing to a dog crossing the course as Ripton was coming up, and shortly after his bottom board fell out on the reach, which threw him still further backward, and Confidence came in some ten or fit'een lengths in front, performing the first mile in 2 miuutes 40 seconds. Previous to the second heat, the betting was 7 to 4 on Confidence, take 2 to 1, and some Jittle business was done at the latter figure. In the first fifty yards afterthe start, both broke, and changed position, but at the quarter Hiram took the track and led, but shortly after broke, and near the half. Confidence went up, and led way‘to the distance; the other breaking two or three times in quick succession ; bui Confidence strove hard to distance his oppo- nent, which, with some difficulty, the other pre- vented. It was said, to save himself, that Ripton run a considerable distance. This heat was per- formed in 2 minutes 41 seconds. The great exer- tion that Confidence was called upon to make in trying to distance the other, evidently did him no good for his future endeavors. Previous to the third heat, prudence dictated the ruaning in « stronger wagon, which was procured; and the animal drawing might have been aware of the change, for in his display before the heat he went better than any time previously. At the start, Confidence led, but broke ere he got to the bottom, and Ripton led him at the quarter some 6 or 7 lengths, but when near the haif, Confidence gained upon him, andcontinued gemly to do so round the toptowards the three-quarter;butHiram had the lead and determined to keepit, and all the efforts of the other were lost. Ripton came home amidst con- siderable applause, some 5 or 6 lengths in advance, performing the mile in 2 minutes 88 seconds. Previous to the fourth heat, Confidence showed evident symptoms of fatigue, ‘but, notwithstanding, the betting was 25 to 20 in favor of Confidence.— There was a good start for this heat, which Ripton lead, but, as before, Confidence broke ut the bot- tom, which gave the advantage considerably to the other, who maintained it until near the halt mile post, when he had one of the worst breaks that had occurred throughout the trot, and there were u great number of them, and Confidence came uy and gained upon the other considerably as ap proaching the three-quarters; but shortly after h had a eimilar misfortune, which helped Ripton much, who continued to lead; but the other, ar they approached the distance, gained still upon him. but notwithstanding, Ripton came home six orsever lengths in tront—performing the heat in 2 minutes, 42h seconds : i For the filth heat the oddsif any thing was in favor of Ripton, though there was not much to choose between either of the animals; one appear. ed to be munch fatigued, and the other as if he would ra'her stand upon three legs than four, for the fourth seemed any thing bat comfortable to him. Riptou led to the quarter where he was some 5 or 6 lengths in advance, and where they both showed as if they had had enough of it from the pace taey went.— The odds were now 10to 3 on Riptoa. As they approached the half Confidence appeared to gain on Ripton, but it was only momentary. When near the three-quarter Ripton broke,but soon recovered, and the trot from thence home was most beautiful ; every exertion was made by the driver of Confi- dence, but it wasof noavail. Ripton lead home 8 or 9 lengths in advance, Legh set 3 the heatin2 mi- nutes 40 seconds. At the cloge they stood thus:— B.g Ripton, (1.

It is quite a mistaken notion that such light vehicles are best for such purposes. There is a very interesting match to come off over the same ground on Monday next, in which some of the greatest favorites of the season are en- tered. There is also another great event to take place in a week of ten days alter,in which some of the best horses of the north and south will come together. y , ‘e heard that the owner of Confidence immedi- ately after the race sold him to a gentleman from the south for $400.

Tus In.ustaiovs Srrancers at Hosoxen.— ‘Those personages were first announced on Thurs- day, and have since then been regular “lions” at that popular place of resort, and will so continue to be during their short stay there. They consist of a party of fourteen genuine spe- cimens of the red men of the Iowa tribe, a8 savage and untutored as ever tracked a bear or wielded a scalping-knife. They come from the Far West for the purpose of contemplating men and manners “toward the rising of the sun ;” but, of course, be- ing little conversant with books and the art of au- thorship, it cannot be expected that the reading public will become familiar with them through their works, a9 is in late years the case with many travellers fer interior in originality to the Ioways, and we have no doubt in the power of observation also. Their tribe is about fifteen hundred strong, nnd located on the eastern bank of the Missour; River, in that State, where the march of civiliza- tion, er contact with’the pale. 8, has not yet deprived them ot their hunting grounds, or bartered the brandy bottle tor their rights and privileges as freemen of the forest. In person, our new yigitants are tall and muscu- lar, fine specimens of the stalwart and athletic warrior. Their features possess ina high degree the characteristic lineaments of the race, the ac- quiline nose, the piercing eye, the roving glance, the deeply set lines of the countenance, and that invariable mark of pure ludian blood, the jet black hair. Of the latter there is little left of which to judge, except the Geet Sea! lock, for, unlike the In- dians of the North, who wear their hair very long, the Toways have contrived to part with theirs, ex- cept the aforesaid insuperable adjunct for a fighting man. Their dress is extremely picturesque. The red predominates, and what with red bisakeD, red pelta, and a profusion of red ochre, they really look “far off at a distance.” As for the foreign aid of ornament, in the form of beads, rings, necklaces, breastplates, and twenty other things as nameless as useless, every one of our singular new comers has enough to set up a little curiosity shop. The belts of wampum, and fantastic head-dresses of the same commodity, adorned with a fantastic coronet of died bear’s hair, are of a piece with the rest of the gavage finery which decorates the Ioways. Yet, savage and all as it is, it contrasts very favor- ably with the tawdry brass plates aud enormous fisthulls of feathers that were stuck round and upon che head-cages of a military company which hap- pened to be parading near the Indian wigwams. By the bye, it was mightily entertaining to see the arch and any thing but admiring glances of the red men at, the said prim and pedantic militaires, amounting to something like ‘*Does your mother know you're out?” or, “I would not march hrongh Coventry with them;” and a droll Irishman who was standing beside, with much naivetté and a humorous twitch of his hat at the same time, observed, “‘ By the powers, paint is pur- tier than pipe clay after all, and that by a long chalk.” Machuvshe-kaw, which being interpreted means “White Cloud,” is the first chief of the [owa na- tion, and acccminenisenuayerty. _Heis the son of a chief of the same name, who distinguished himself hoth for sagacity in council, and intrepidity and finesse in fight.

We had the honor ot an intro- duction to his son and successor, the present “White Cloud,” and were received with cour- tesy in his wigwam, and had the edification of communing with him throagh an_ interpret- er. He is a young man, not more than about thirty-two, yet as sedate and sure spoken as much older men, Seated on a buffalo robe, be- dizzened with paint in mul'iform designs and grim dashes, while his neck prominently displayed a huge collar of grizzly bear’s teeth,he cut whut was we presume in his own estimation a very respect- tble, but in ours a most outré figure. ‘There is nothing remarkable in the appearance of the quaws, but we leara that although below the aver. age size they are fully equal to the discharge of their duties in pitching the tents, building canoes, and carrying off the products of the chase.

But by far he most rem rkable of the group is Blistered Feet, the great medicine man. He is about 50; his fea- tares are regular, hisforehead wide, and the gene- tal expression of his countenance is pleasing, and indicative of a grave and contemplative disposition. We have no means of forming any thing like ade- finite notion of the exact nature of his vocation, out it is clear that he is ex-officio a star of the first magnitude. The fanctions of the great medicine nan are not confinedto the healing art alone, for 1e also performs the duties connected with “holy orders,” if we may use the term, while “His love profound can tell ‘The hidden pewer of herbs, and might of magic spell.” He claims the power of ‘administering to a mind leceased,” just to as great en extent as any other, ind itis said thathe ean see into futunity, and as ‘ar over the great lake on whose tempestuous bil- tows glide the frail canoes with the immortal part of departed warriors, towards the blessed land of the great spirit, as any of our modern divines can, beyond the “bourne from whence no traveller re- carns.” Blistered Feet, then, must be a great man, ind there isa visionary cast about him quite in character with his accult profession. an =‘ White Cloud” had returned from a visit to the city when we met him.

Having asked him if he would go for it, he replied that he took a neutral position in rela- tion to that measure; but was of opinion that_all the precedents furnished by history of the dealings of this people with the Indians, Wm.

Suxpay Excursions.—One of the most delight- fal drives in the neighborhood of the city is across the ferry at White Hall to South Brooklyn, and thence by the beautiful and picturesque road along the margin of the bay, to Hamilton House, The road is in fine order, the scenery varied and agree- tble inthe extreme, and at the terminus of the drive you find a perfect Paradise. Many find Hoboken a very agreeable spot ona Sunday afternoon. The scenery and walks there are charming, and all sorts of refreshments are in abundance. To Staten Island is a delightful excursion. The sail across the bay is exceedingly agreeable, and at New Brighton, or Clifton House, the visitor finds every thing that is to be desired in the way of crea- ture comforts, The prety little village of Flushing, on Long Is land, offers many inducements to the citizen seek ig a dwy’s relaxation and enjoyment.

The effect of this celebrated medicine is to the blood ; to convert the poor, corrupt blood, into healthy, rich blood, And itis bec ise they do this that they have been so steadily sought after by all classes of our citizens who have required medicine. And it is because of the power Brandreth Pills are now known to possess as bh restorers, that renders them #0 popular, They crreall sftections, simply because they make the blood —abstract out of it those qualities which produce disease, and give to it those qualities which produce health. Now every solid part of the human frame is made from the blood and the food we eat is converted into blood to supply the waste our bodies are continually sustaining. So in the ordinary course of nature we manuiacture our entire bodies in about nine years from the food taken into our stomachs, Sup) the blood made in this stomach of ours is unsound, impure, oocasioned by seme cause or other ; it may refer to eos, generation ; no mat- te make impure blood, and it so cannot be healthy* Ora e the air we heve lived in for some time has been loaded with matters detrimental to health, or our| ang ail tood for a long period has been of an unwholesome kind,or that the mind has been much troubled—for grief, anxiety, or great attention to somnerectlan int is sure to occa- sion bad effects on the blood. Any oi these causes exist- ing. blood cannot be applied to the bey. But let Brandreth’s Pills he used daily under these clr- cnmstances, in doses of from two to six pe or asthe case shall determine. What is their cflect? It is to carry off the impure matters from the blood: leaving only the good torenew every partof the body. What was un sound, now becomes sound, and the stomach soon gets into so healthy a condition that even bad air or unwholesome ealth | Ye pin-feathered an food for a time are unable toinjure the health materially. Even when the climate or food continue unbeal occasional use of the Brandreth Pills wil i heir expulsion, leaving what is rength to the body. When the bones are diseased, when every ramification of the frame is out of order, the Brandreth Pills will. in nineteen cases out of twenty, cure. Remember that the body can be entirely remade from the food, bones and all; and aided by this most beneficent medicine, in a quarter of the time it takes in the ordinary course of nature. from two to four years an entirely new healthy body can be exchanged for the unsound, the diseased, the misera ble one, The slowness er quickness of the change alto gether depending upon the effect the Brandreth Pills are made to produce; which effect can he graduated just as the patient pleases. No possible injury can result from this; nothing but good can follow. }nquire the effeet of Brandreth ’s Pills among your unprejudiced friends; you will hear sutticient to satisty you it there in no risk in making the trial, and that you will not be doing yourself justice without it When your blood is once rune, nothing in the shape of food will hardly come amiss; nothing will sour upon your stomach; you mey eat pies, organything in reason, and the greater variety of food the better blood is made. All who have weak stomachs, who are dyspeptic, or in any way afflicted in body, should without delay resort to Biandreth’s Pills—which will indeed strengthen the life principle, and by perseverance with them, entirely renew the whole body; the materials now in it good will be kept 20; those bad, displaced and removed. Good blood cannot make bad boneor bad flesh. And bear in mind, the Bran- dreth Pills surely purily ood The method of preparing the Brandrethian Vegetable ecured by Letters Patent of the United States anted to Benjamin Brandreth, 20th January, 1843, The extracts of which Brandreth’s Pills are composed are obtained by this new patent process, without boiling orany application of heat. ‘The active principle of the 1 ay is thus secured, the same as it is in the living vege- table, The public should be cautious of medicines recommend- ed in advertisements stolen from me. A sure test of genuine Brandreth Pills:—Examine the box of pills; then Jook at the certificate of agency, whose engraved date must be within the year, which every a thorised agent must persesa; ifthe three labels on the box agree with the three ils on the certificate, the pills are true—if not, they are false.
