VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL FILLS.
IT is trcnofiitTy known Llmt my Omndftitltfrwas the
original invenlnrof these remarkitble pills.
He wns h scientific man, and a medical practitioner
or the Old hchool. ifnt itcconnng itiarmeit at itie mor
tulitv tlmt Httended the ltleediiiir and Mitiontl Prac
tice, he turned his attention to tho study of nut ure and
the iilulosophy ot (Iibchho, hb also to ttie nulimil reine
dialiiKents which he found to exist exclusively in the
Vegetable Kingdom. In his roHctirclies and investi
gations, ho bectitne fully sntisliud that the lite was in
the blood; that by wfiu'luwr name diseases were dis
tinguished, impurity nf the blood was the source of
an a simpte and trutntul doctrine, winch, in re litem
all disensws to a nnit, necessarily established the fact
that all Wore to be treated on the same general prin
ciples, vix: by puryntion.
Now the ifriind diflicnltv consisted in devitiiiit a ve'ir-
etabio compound that would invigorate, purify, and
cleanse lio blood, correct and regulate all the ditl'er
ent secicuotiB, and by purgation dittchuro the whole
muss of morbid mutter from the body, without red no
il) tr the strenitb. Alter tliirlv vears of close atmlica-
tion, he rontiidumd his object fully accomplished in
(tie production ot tliera pifU, which have now been
before the public One Hundred and Fourteen Years,
and it is now (IHfiS) nearly dl years ice l'r. Hran
dretli's VeKctablu Universal Lite Preserving l'ills
were lirst protier.ted to the American public during
which time their superior excellence and virtues have
been extensively proclaimed by papers and pamphlets,
and a rapid yearly increase of tho stile of them ef
fected, To know what wilt save life, to know what will
restore health, is a knowledge not to be hidden, I,
there to ro, as a man desiring to do my duty faithfully,
nave dotted down some ot my thirty live years expe
rience with ltrandreth's Pills, which are an effectual
iiwintant of nature, and cause the expulsion of acri
monious humors the occasion of every sickness. Let
us (admit that corrupt humors prevent the free circula
tion of the blood, that Hrandroth's Pills take out
these humors, giving health for pain, and strength for
weakness.
No man is sick save when the principle of corrnn-
tiougets the ascendency; Uraudrcth's Pills aid the
Life Principle to reirain the empire bv removinir the
corrupt humors from the body. Many a time 1 have
seen life apparently at the last ebb, when these Pills
were given, and in a few hours the danger was past,
Hiid health's Hood tide gave the patient renewed life
and vigor. Many are the fathers, mothers, sons, and
in 11 Hitters, tints saved.
These celebrated Pills are eotnnoned whollv of me
dicinal herbs, and do not oontain any mercury or other
mineral, being perfectly Imrmless to the most tender
ture or weakest frame; yet sure to search out the cause
of sickness, and restore the health if taken according
to the directions.
Let nn one inmirine they are too weak to bear the
effect of these Pills, which put no weukuesi into the
frame, but draws weakness out. A few doBcs will be
get confidence, and then the beauties of purgation will
irradually become unfolded to our view, which, en
forced with itrsndrcth's Vegetable Universal Pills, is
ahle to cure every dinease where the organs are sound,
and greatly increase the average of human life.
I have now nsed on my own person, and prepared
nnd administered, Brand ret It's Pills for thirty -five
yuHrn. i uenuvo umj na uc urwtt -world;
nnd with this meilical finality they havenlso
a tonic etti-ct. And as I am of the firm opinion tlmt
iiitiainntatioii and fevers are raiised by corrupted
blood not being timely evacuated, because it regurgi
tates, so to speak, over the whole body, and thus cor
rupts the sound blood that should nourish all the mem
bers, and actually destroys and paralyzes members or
ormius tlmt are unsound'; and as 1 know that these
Pills hnve a direct ert'ecl to remove all corrupt blood
and acrimonious humors from the body hi fact, all
humors below the vita) standard of health; so 1 should
be guiliy of a trrcitt sin, did I not do all in my power
to propauate the tine of a medicine which is possessed
of properties so calculated to save and increase the
average of human life.

Agricultural Fair means something in the
main besides horso raoisg. Excepting the
Sanitary and military, the last State Fair was
pretty mnoh all horie and hilarity. Horse
racing and horse traing wis the theiro, front
day-break till dark. I do not say that horse
raoing was the entire programme, but I do
say, what every observant person knows to be
true, that it was the great feature nf the Fair.
To be sure, there were tho oaltle, sheep, and
linga, hot they attracted1 very small share of
anybody's attention. I- reooileot - arynlll
tnai at ino time tne thoroughbred short horns
worn exhibited for preinrniiB, out of all that
vast throng of visitors at the Fair Grounds,
not fifty grown men were interested to he there
and see the examination. Not enough nf old
and young to form a circle that would keep
Ihe cBttlo together. Thero, loo. weie (ino and
inedinm wonled sheep probably as good
Southdowns. French, Spanish, and Australian
Merinos as in other States but their qualities,
and the profits to be derived from raising them,
tvere undiscussed questions to the great body
of farmers. There wore fine hugs mid big
hogs, but they grunted complacently and un
observedly in their sty.
-,' "Well," ono will say, "If cattle, sheep, and
hogs of fine points and sterling qualities were

Here, my dear sir, "is the matter in a nut
sholl." It is notpo much the Aorsc, but the
race, that is tho attraction, Suppose w e should
go to cock and bull fighting as in Spain and
Mexico, I guess we could divide your crowds
and rcduoe them mnrvelously. Of a horse
race or bull tight, I will venturo on the latter
drawing the larger orowds.
Let mo givo an illustration of the difference"
between an animal and its acts. In one of the
estern States, two bovs got to braimiiiir umin
the plucky qualities nf their respective; male
sheep. A bet was mndc.nnd a half-dozen bovs
were gathered to sec tho fight. Thereupon
another match was made, and nnolher. Soou
Inrgor boys oamo in with bettor selected rains.
Skill and soienoe in picking fighters were in
demand, anj the fnscinn'ion of the light ex
tended from be ys tu men. The country gnth
ered from ten miles around to see the ram
jiSrVr"flii tefei .til0..''f'..,:,.,vtl,e
put them down. Lest some unknown person
might think it was the sheen that drow the
youngsters nnd men together, 1 will say that
iney were common entep, aua 1 suppose thnt
the breed of sheop was unimportant, and that
tho only question asked, was : "Is he on the
fight, nnd will he enntinuo on that line ?"
, 1'robably if the rams had been taken nut,
and cocks, dogs, or bulls put there instead, the
oye witnesses would have made no objection,
so there was a fight of porno kind, Only to
prove mat mo main interest of the Fair was
in the race and nut the horse, I ni I state that
the greatest curiosity and excitement was man
ifested to see the ox race.
Kactng has been the banc nf Agricultural
Fairs, wherever It has been allowed. Com
mencing with good premiums for horses excel
ling in speed and bottom, designed always to
stimulate fanners to improve the breeds nf t lint
animal, the enmpetinn is soon altogether among
professed jockeys, with whom skill in training
amounts to as much ns blood, and the course
is given op to habitual Jiorso racers, in whose
games tho farming community has no abiding
interest ; and whether any lienelit could possi
lily lie derived from such a stnte of circum
stances, under the must skillful maiingument
by i-'ir offireri. is a matter of doubt. In any
event, the good is far out-weighed by the evil
induced by it. 'I he vicious infection of Ihe
horso racing mania, soon poisons the Agricul
tural Fairs out of existenco. Such, I believe,
is the experience of the Stales Kant upnu this
question.
I suppose the programme for ihe next Fair
is fixed, and that the business of horso racing
will continue as usual. 1 sny as usual, bcoause
if you give premiums for running, trotting,
wulking, etc., there must he training, and all
tho necessary preparations for the final and
excuing inn I, nil ol which win swny mo feel
ings of the old and voting nf both sexes, and
thus will be frilled away the time and oppor
tunity of the agricultural and laboring masses
for improvement nt thnt Fair. I ilntiot see
how that oonsuiuinatjoo will lie avoided. I'rob-
ably the knowledge of the tendency will serve
to lessen the evils, and II this linperlect article
upon the subject serves as a hint in the right
direction, the writer will be abundantly sal is

is now in use 4.000 sets nf woolen machinery

We extract the following from Tcllknmpf Si

Domestio fleece has advanced about lOo per

been very considerable, leaving quite a mod

With pulled wool it has been similar, and

. and statement of their claims upon the

Great liritain and tho United States of Amer
ica, on the 15th day of June, 184G, while tho
Hudson's Hay Company were ju the full ami

rights, it was in effect declared to be desirable
for tho future well'aro of both countries, that
tho statu of doubt and uncertainty, which had
thurctoforo prevailed, respecting tho sovereign,
ty and government of tho territory on the
north-west coast of America, lying westward
of tho Itocky motintiiius, should be finally ter
minated by nn amicable compromise of the
rights uiutunlly asserted bv Ihe two parties,
upon such terms at might lio agreed upon ;
nnd thereupon, by article I. of tho saidstrealy..
the line of boundary to be thereafter observed

promise am! agreement.

Thnt, nnder the settlement of tho hunndnry
line agreed upou by snid treaty, and defined
by the jirst article thereof, tho said territory,
tho nctunl nud exclusive conTroT.'poHsessloH',
use and enjoyment as aforesaid, fell within and
under the sovereignty nnd government of the
United States, ami under a just ennstruotion of
the said treaty, and of the obligation therein
assumed, tlmt the possessory rights of the Hud

any person acting, or claiming to act,
under the authority or laws of tiio United

were annnally expended in it. and the return .
were highly profitable, and important to the
general prosperity of the Company.
- Fnr the proper and beneficial carrying on of
that trade, tho Company required, not only to
hold and possess ths posts, establishments,,
farms, and other lands already desoribed, not '
also to have the control, possossion, and ose of;
extensive traots of country ; nnd they had. in
fact, at and before the date of the treatr of the
unn june, icmo, in tneir control, possession,
nnd uso, for such purposes, large proportion '
of the country lying as hereinbefore mentioned ,
on the north-west ooast of America, to the ,
westward of the Rocky mountains, south of the
49th parallel of north latitude, and known as
Oregon. And they had therein and thereupon
a right of trade which was virtually exclusive.
The profits derived from their said trade, '
before and in the year 1846, exceeded in each
year the sum of seven thousand pound ster
ling. Under the settlement of the boundary line, '
by the treaty of tho 15th 'Jane. 1846, the said
territory fell under the sovereignty and govern-
men t. of the United States; and by reason '
thereof, and of tho acts and proceedings had
aud taken, under and hy control of the author-;
ity and of the lawiof the United States, the'
control, possession, and nse of the said terri
tory by the Hudson's Hay Company, for the
purposo of their trade, and their rights In the
exercise aud carrying on of their trade In furs,
peltries, nnd other articles, ai well as their
trade In tho shipmont and sale of timber and '
their foreign oom merer, were restricted aud
denied, and In elFcot wholly taken away and
lost, and for their said rights, and the forced '
relinquishment nnd loss thereof, they olairn the '
sum of $073,333 33. .'
til. NAV10ATION OF TUB COLUMBIA RIV1R.
Thn Hudson's Day Company aver, that un
.dor the treaty of the 15th June, 1846, by ar-.
ticlo IV., of that treaty, they have a right to ;
the freo and open navigation of the north
branch nf the Columbia river, from the point
at whioh the same is intersected by the41)th
parallel of north latitude, to the main stream,
atid thonov'tn tho ocean, with freo access and ,
passage into and through the laid river or
rivets, and that Hritish subjects trading with .
them have sn eqaal right or navigation, and '
that to tho Company, aud to those thus trad- '
ing with them, tho portages of the said river
or rivers along tho lines thus desoribed, ought
to bo, nnd of right are, Ireo and open.
The right thus to navigate the said river, or ;
rivers, aud to pass onobstruotod ovsr their
pnrtages.was and is ot great valuo to the Com
pany, and Is also of great and increasing poll- '
tical and national valuo to the Uuited States,
and for its relinquishment and transfer, the
Company claim and aro entitled to reoeivo the '
sum uf $1.400,000. .
In addition to tlie speoial statements herein- '
before contained, the Hudson's Hay Company
submit, that throughout a lung series of years, ;
they expended large sums of money, and de-
voted mnoh labor and time in efforts to bring
tlie nativo populatioa into such a condition,
that safe and profitable relations In regard to
trade and general intercourse, oould be estab ,
lished with them. Tho exploration of the
country, the expenditure for labor, and of the
parties engaged, the opening of roads, the
strong force required as a protection against
the Indians, their conciliation brought about
aometimos by a resort to foroible measures, bat
chiefly hy liberal dealing, effected a great
chnngo in the oondition of the ooontry, ren
dering it fit for Immediate lettlemont. These
wero substantia! benefits to the government
aud pooplc of the United States, nnder whose -sovereignty
this territory foil, and could net
have been seoured without a very large outlay.
It is, nf oooree, impossible to give any minute
details of expenditures of this class, and of the
advantages which the United States have de
rived from them, but the iustioe nf extend inr
satlon.Tnunded" iultiWmiiMdj&nfV!: .
apparent to allow of any reasonable hesitation
in admitting it. .
' In conclusion, the Hudson' Bay Company
submit that upou tho ract and circumstance,
and for.tlio reasons and consideration herein
set forth, they are entitled to elaim and receive
from the Unitod State the several turn here
following i
i'irsl For their forts, post, establishment,
farms, pasturage, aud other lands, witb the
unuuings ana improvement inereon, aa nero- .
inbefnre set forth, tlie. sura of 285,350, equal'
to $1,388,703 33.
(.t,'rilLy & iiv iigu vs wiibjuvi n mws viae-
before set rnrtb, the sum ol 200,000, equal to
$073,333 33.
Thirdly For the right of the free nagviga
tlon of the Colombia river, a hereinbefore eet
forth, the sum of 300,000, eqaal to $1,
400.0(10. The said several sums making together tho
eoliro sum of 784.350, equal to 3,822,
030 07, .
And tho Hudson's Bny Compauy ask that
tho Honorable the Commissioners will, after
due examination, maintain the said claim aa
jnst and reasonable, and will decide that the
United States ought lo pay to the Compauy.in
discharge of their said claim and right, and
for tho trausfur of them, Ihe said sum of 785,
350. In sterlin money of Groat Britain, equal
to $3,822,030 67 in gold, to be paid at the
timo and In the mannor provided by the lata
treaty of Iho 1st July. 1803.
And the claimant deolare, that for the (aid
sum ol money, or for such other sum a tbo
Honorable the Commissioners may justly
awurd, they are ready and willing to transfer'
to the United States all their rights and olaim
according to the terms of the said two treaties.
