ADDRESS or TIVESIWENT TYLER To the People of the V. States. FULLO%V CITIZENE—Before my arrivel at the Seat of Government the painful com munication was made to you by the 3fficurs presiding over the several Departments of the deeply regretted death of WILLIAM HEN RY HARRISON, late President of the United States. Upon him you had conferred your suffrages for the first office in your gift, and had selected him as your chosen instrument to correct and reform all such errors and shuns as had manifested themselves from time to time in the practival operation of the Government. While standing at the threshhold of this great work, he has, by the dispensation of an all-wise Providence, been removed from amongst us, and by the pro visions of the Constitution the efforts to be directed to the accomplishing of this vitally important task have devolved upon myself This same occurrence has subjected the wisdom and sufficiency of- our institutions to a new test. For the first time in our history the person elected to the Vico Pre sidency of the United States, by the happen ing of a contingency provided for in the Constitution, has had devolved upon him the Presidential office. The spirit of fac tion, which is directly opposed to the spirit of a lofty patriotism, may find in this occa sion for assaults upon my administration.— And in succeeding, under circumstances so sudden and unexpected, and to responsibili ties so greatly augmented, to the adminis tration of public affairs, I shall place in the intelligence and patriotism of the People my only sure reliance. My earnest prayer shall be constantly addressed to the all wise and all-powerful Being who made me, and by whose dispensatioa I am called to . the high office-of President of this Confederacy. understandingly to carry' out the principles of that Constitution which I have sworn "to protect, preserve, and defend." The usual opportunity which is afforded to a Chief Magistrate upon his induction to office of presenting to his countrymen an ex position of the policy which would guide his administration, in the form dim inau gural address, not having, under the peculi ar circumstances which have brought me to the discharge of the high duties of Presi dent of the United States, been afforded to me, a brief exposition of the principles which will govern me in the general course of my administration of public affairs would seem to be due as well to myself as to you. In regard to foreign nations, the groundwork of my policy will be justice on our part to all, submitting to injustice from none.— While I shall sedulously cultivate the rela tions of peace and amity with one and all, it will be my most imperative duty to see that the honor of the country shall sustain no blemish. With a view to this, the condi _ iiiii h tpur mew 'defences will become? which has in other days covered itself with renown, and the Navy, not inappropriately --tvevesAlskPoirrekitra - rtggebehrrotii — uVer - rotr American standaid in all the waters of the earth, should be rendered replete with effi ciency. In view of the fact, well avouched by his. tory, that the tendency, of all human rnstitu• lions is to concentrate'power in the hands of a single man, and that their • ultimate downfall has preiceeded from this cause, I deem it of the most essential importance that a complete separation should take place between the sword and the purse. No mat ter where or how the public moneys shall be deposited, so long as the President can exert the power of appointing and removing, at his pleasure, the agents selected for their custody, the Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy is in fact the Treasurer. A permanent and radical change should therefore be decreed. The patronage hiel dent to the Presidential office, already great, is constantly increasing. Such increase is destined to keep pace with the growth of our pepulation, until, without a figure of speech, an army ofofficeholders may be spread over the land. The unrestrained pow. er exerted by a selfishly ambitious man, in order either to pe:petuate his authority or to hand it over to some favorite as his suc cessor, may lead to the employment of all the means within his control to accomplish his object. The right to remove from office, while subjected to no just restraint, is inevi tably destined to produce a spirit or crouch ing servility with the official corps, which, in order to uphold the hand which feeds them, would lead to direct and active inter ference in the elections,both State and Fed eral, thereby subjecting the course of State legislation to the dictation of the Chief Ex ecutive °Meer. and making the will of that officer absolute and supreme. I will, at a proper time, invoke the action of Congress upon this subject, and shall readily acqui esce in the adopt:on of all proper measures which are calculated to arrest these evils, so full of danger in their tendency. I will remove no incumbent from office who has faithfully and honestly acquitted himself of the duties dins office. except in such cases' where such officer has been guilty of an ac tive partisanship, or by secret means—the less manly, and therefore the more ob jectionahle —has given his official influence to the purposes of party, thereby bringing the patronage ofthe Government in conflict with the freedom of elections. Numerous removals may become necessary under this rule. These will be made by me through no acerbity of feeling. - I have had no cause to cherish or indulge unkind feelings towards any, but my conduct will be regu lated by a profound sense of what is due to the country. and its institutions, nor shall I neglect to apply the same unbending rule "to those of my own appointment., Freedom "of opinion will be tolerated, the tall enjoy insint of the-right of suffrage will be main. toined as the birthright of every American Chilton, but I say emphutieelly. to the Cilia Corps, "thus far and no farther." I /ee• devil the longer upon this subject, • WSW* romovats from to to on likely ten to arise, and t would have my country men to understand the principle of the Ex• ecutive action. In all public expenditures the most rigid economy should be resorted to, and, as one of its results, a public debt in time sedulous ly avoided. A wise and patriotic constitu ency will never object to the imposition of necessary burdens for useful ends; and true wisdom dictates the resort to such means in order to supply deficiencies in the raven ue, rather than to those doubtful expedients which ultimating in a public debt, serve to embarass the resources of the country and to lessen its ability to meet any great emer gency which may arise. All sinecures should be nbolished. The appropriations should ba (lima and explicit, so as to leave as limited a share of discretien to the (lira, bursing agents as may be found compatible with the public service. A strict response bilit) on the part of all the agents of the Government should be maintained, and pec ulation or defalcation visited with immedi ate expulsion from office and the most con dign punisbment. The public Interest also demands that. if any war has existed between the Govern ment and the currency it shall cease. Mea sures of a financial character, now having' the sanction of legal enactment shall be faith- , fully enforced until repealed by the legisla tive authority. But I owe it to myself tole clam that 1 regard existing enactments as unwise and impolitic and in a high degree oppressive. I shat: promptly give my sane lion to any constitutional measure which o riginating in Congress, shall have for its objects the restoration of a sound circula ting medium, so essentially necessary to give confidence in all the transactions of life, to secure to industry its just and adequate rewards and to re-establish the public pros perity. In deciding upon the adaptation of any such measure to the end proposed, as well as its conformity to the Constitution, I shall resort to the Fathers of the great Republican school for advice and insirric- I bon ' to be drawn from their sage views of i our system of Government, and the light of their ever glorious example. The institutions under which we live, my countrymen, secure each person in the pet feet enjoyment of all his rights. The spec tacle is exhibited to the world of a Govern ment deriving its powers from the consent of the governed, and having imparted to it only so much power as is necessary for its successful operation. These who are charg ed with its administration should carefully abstain from all attempts to enlarge the range of powers thus granted to the several de partments of the Government, other than by an appeal to the People for additional grants, test by so doing they disturb that balance which the patriots end statesman who framed the Constitution designed to es tablish between the Federal Government and the States composing the Union. The observance of these ruleo is enjoined upon us by that feeling of reverence and ~..trosiion which finds a place in the heart of every patriot for the preservation of union l and the blessings of union—for the good of gruefasOiset." 0 C - uusta ccnosur %An fail to generate factions intent upon the grat ification of their selfish ends; to give birth to local and sectional jealousies, and to ulti mate either in breaking asunder the bonds of union, or in building up a central system which would inevitably end in a bloody scale tre and an iron crown. In conclusion, I beg you to be assured that I shall exert myself to carry the fore going principles into practice during my administration of the Government, and,con fiding in the protecting care of an ever watchful and overruling Providence, it shall be my first and highest duty to preserve unimpaired the free institutions under which we live, and transmit them to those who shall succeed me in their full force and vigor. JOHN TYLER. Washington, April 9, 1841. GENERAL UARRISON'S LAST LETTER. AN INTERESTING CAVIL—The following letter, which we copy from the New York Commercial, is touching and characteristic, and will be read with interest. We annex also, the preliminary remarks of the New York editor. The case throughout is one which illustrates the character of the late President in the clearest and most commen dable light. He was indeed a good old man, with a heart overflowing with the milk of human kin ineirs. Now that he is gone, a thousand little incidents will be remem bered and related, and all calculated to en dear him still more to the hearts of the American people. He could not have died at a more opportune moment for his fame. '4on Saturday, a hardy, weather beaten, but very respectably looking seaman pre sented himself to the Collector, at the Cus. torn House, and inquiring for Mr. Curtis, said, 'General Harrison told me to give this letter into your own hand. He told me to give his kind respects to Mr. Curtis and said Mr. Curtis was his friend, and would be my friend' Mr. Curtis opened the let ter, and found .t to be, from its date, one of the last, it not the very last letter, written by General Harrison. ' It bears date of the day when his illness commenced. The reader will see, from a perusal of it, , that amidst all the cares and troubles of his high position, lie was true to the humblest of his old friends. Tucker says the General made him come to the dinner table with the great folks, and when he hesitated, and in timated that he had better go below for his dinner, the General said, 'Tucker, you and I have been shipmates, and a long time to• gether. You are an honest man; come and eat y(,ur dinner with me, and como here again to.morrow and get your breakfast with me.' - Tucker says the General invited him to stay in Washington and he would takecare of him, but hie wife and children being in New York, Tucker preferred to return.— He says General H. followed him into the grounds nn the east side of the White House, and then walked with him arm•in• arm....that the General had no bat, on, and • when Tucker adverted to his liability to sake cold, he waived the remark by saying ho was already unwell. Having received the I letter from the General, Tucker says he followed him to the door and shook him by the hand, saying, "go to my friend Mr. Curtis, and after you have been to him don't forget to write to me that you and your wife and children are happy again." Tucker says he had no money to come home by land, but he dud not lot the Gen eral know that, for be knew he would give it to him in a minute, and ho did nut wish I to take money from the good old man who had been so kind to him. And so Tucker went on board the schooner L. L. Sturgis, at Alexandria, and worked his passage home to New York. When he came to the custom house he had not been ashore thirty minutes, and having first heard the sad news of the death ()Chia kind benefactor as he passed up the Old Slip dock, the abun dant tears that fell down his hardy cheek testified that his is no ungrateful heart. We are glad to hear that Mr. Curtis immediately appointed Mr. Tucker an in spector of the customs. WmatirioToN, 28th March, 1841. "Dear Sir:—The bearer hereof, Mr. Thomas Tucker, a veteran Emmen, came with me from Carthagena, as the mate of the brig Montidin, in the year 1829. In an association of several weeks I imbibed a high opinion of his character—so much so! that (expressing a desire to leave the sea) I invited him to come to North Bend and spend the remainder of' his days with me. Subsequent misfortunes prevented his do ing so, as he was desirous bring some money with him to commence farming operations. His bad fortune still continues, having been several times shipwrecked within a few years. He says that himself and family are now in such a situation that the humblest employment would be accept. ebbe to him, and I write this to recommend him to your favorable notice. I am per suaded that no one possesses, in a higher degree, the virtues of fidelity, honesty and indefatigable industry; and, I might add, l of indomitable bravery, if that was a quality necessary for the kidd of employment he seeks. ..Your's very truly, "W. H. HARRISON. "EDWARD CIIRTIS, Esq. "Collector, &c., N. York." 1. rom the National Intelligencer FAMILY OF GENERAL HARRISON. The remains of the late President had tun been committed - to the tomb before we re ceived two or three letters, from very re spectable sources, suggesting the fact of Gen. HARBISON having been in rather nar row circumstances when nominated for the office of President; of his having been sub jected to heavy expenses by his pogition be fore the People. by the consequence of hie election, and by his preparations for his res idence here:and of his having been there fore, under the necessity of borrowing mon ey before he came to•the seat of Govern ment, which it would now probably require the sacrifice of his family's property to pay lion by the people at the rate of one dollar for each voter, to provide for the comfort of the family whom his death has destituted of their dearest fr tend one only natural pro• tector. This suggestion is conceived in an hoe. arable spirit, and we should recommend the plan to the public, if it did not appear to us that TETE NATION has a duty to perforin,in this respect, which it would be a distrust of the justice and liberality of Congress to doubt its discharging at the earliest prac tical moment, the execution of which would supersede the slow and somewhat bazardous experiment of a subscription by individuals. This view of the matter, we are most hap py to perceive, has been spontaneously and simultaneously expressed in different parts of the country. At Charleston (S. C.) the citizens, in town meeting assembled, have resolved that an appropriation by Congress for this purpose would be not only liberal but just, and would meet with the hearty approbation of a generous People- The Southern Patriot (politically opposed to Gem HAnalsoN's election) expresses the hope "that Congress will make some pro vision for the family of the General, whose pecuniary circumstances cannot bear the heavy expenses which must have been in curred by a removal to Washington." The American Sentinel (Philadelphia) also po litically friendly to the last Admin:stration gives utterance to the following generous sentiments on the occasion: "The death of 'the President, so unexpected & sudden, be 'sides being most afflictive to hie amiable & 'affectionate family, must bo attended with 'serious pecuniary lost to them. The old 'fashioned generous hospitality of the illus trious deceased, and the heavy expenses 'necessarily incidental to his induction into 'the Presidency, cannot but have created 'brdensome and embarrasing claims upon 'his estate. We hope and believe that a 'great and generous nation will early and 'unanimously make suitable provisions for 'his bereaved family. The extra session 'of Congress ia at hand and we trust one of 'its first acts may be the appropriation to 'the widow of either one year's full salary 'or, what would be still better and more 'becoming, half salary for the whole Pres. 'ulential term for which Gen. HAMMON 'was elected. We have no doubt such an 'appropriation would gratify the feelings 'and wishes of the whole People." APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.

With you the tone is changed—and while Mr. Van Buren is hero sustained as a friend to free trade, the effort is now making at Pittsburg to induce the belief that he and his supporters are the exclusive friends of industry. My opinions were fully expressed at St. Clairsville, and at Stubenville. At both places, in regard to the question, "What are your opinions as to the Tarifli" I an swered that I was in favor at sustaining the Compromise Bill. That it contained the principle of retroaction; the moment the du. ty attained its tnininanm, which forced the protection to instanti, to what was equiva. lent to 40 percent. That the change which it effected in the place of valuation, and the mode of payment; was fully equal in my view to 15 or 20 per cent; and that with a cessation of the war apon the currency which had paralyzed the industry of the country, I was sanguine in the hope and the belief, that prosperity would be speedi ly restored. That in connection with this, I -mould take =ulna to say, that I was in favor c,f the distributioa of, the proceeds of the sales of the public lands among the States, and in favor of raising the revenue by duties on imports in opposition to a resort to a system of direct taxation, as every way onerous to the people, unproduc- Collectioa. .

The above, as well as I can recollect, was in substance what I said at St. Claire ville, and Steubenville. I see in it nothing to retract and nothing to explain, and should have repeated the above at Pittsburg, but for the fact that those around me exclaimed, 'that is enough!' when my answer was given.

HARRISON.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Signal says: The body of Gen. Harrison will remain here for the present, and until the wishes of his widow and son at North Bend are known. His nephew, Benjamin Harrison, is extremely solicitous that the remains of this the most illustrious member of the family should be entombed at Berkeley, Va., the old family seat, where Benjamin H. now lives. The people of this District are equally anxious that he should repose here were he died, end hope that a suitable monument will be erected to his memory. It is likely, however, that his bereaved widow and other, yelatives in Ohio will in sist on burying him at North Bend. On the farm there is an elevated spot of pecu liar beauty, commanding a view up and down "la belle river.," the Ohio of seven or eight miles, which Col. Todd has de. siguated for the place of his grave. Should Congress erect a monument to his honor, the voyager would descry it rising up amidst beautiful scenery at a great distance, and think with emotion of his triumphs and his lamb TO TUE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED A lIECOMMENDATION.

JACKSON IN PECUNIARY DISTRESS. —The following paragraph from a late num• ber of the Louisville Journal, will be read with pain:—"A few weeks ago, tve saw a very long letter from General Jackson to a gentleman, who bad drawn on him for one hundred dollars. Ho acknowledged that the money was due; but stated that ho was ■o miserably embarassed by his security debts as to be utterly unable to raise even the small sum necessary to meet the draft. He said he had some blooded stock which he was willing to give up to the drawer of the - draft, but that $lOO in money was out of the question." Tam Bin SHIP PENNSYLVANIA.—The Norfolk Beacon states that the following is the armament determined upon for the Pennsylvania and which is now, taken on I board. Lower Gun Deck, 28 long 32 pounders and 4 Paixhan Guns, and Paixhan Shot are thrown from an 80 Pounder; Mid dle Gun Deck, 30 long 32 Pounders and 4 Paixhan Guns; Upper Gun deck 32 32 pound Medium Guns and 4 Paixhan Guns; Spar Deck 32 32 pound Cannonades and 4 Medium 32 pound Guns.

Tna SE• Cow.—Colonel Harney, m his recent exploration of the Everglades, has made some important geological discover ies, and killed two of the animals called min.i-tee, or sea cow, whose existence was scribed.—" The sea cow, or something- be tweon a porpoise and a seal, about 18 feet long, with a head like a cow and two small flippers—neat weight about 2,500 pounds. It cannot leave the water, feeds on the grass of the margin, and propels itself forward by a broad tail." THE Jcwa.—This people aro every day becoming objects of interest. They ap pear to entertain expectations of some ap preaching change in their national and re ligious condition. Their case is a singular ono indeed. Although stvled originally a peculiar people—the chosen nation—the favorites of heaven—yet no nation has ever suffered so much as they. No race was ever sank to each a depth of degradation as have been the children of Israel. Fre quently captured and . made slaves of by the surrounding nations their city razed to the ground, and themselves put to the most cruel tortures, they seemed to bear up and to ex ist only to sofDr, until the time of our Sa vior, soon after his appearance, their city and temple were destroyed, an incredible number were put to death, and the remain der were driven, gsby , a whirlwind, over the earth. All these things corresponded well with the threatenings of Moses,who denounced the severest judgments against them, if they should prove recreant to God. Then came more terrible persecutions for the Jews. At first the Romans allowed them a synagogue; while on the other hand the Christians were persecuted to death. As soon, however, as the Christians came into power and the cross was elevated on Paganism, the pour Jews came in for their share of abuse once more. Horrible were their sufferings, from the establishment of the Roman hierarchy nearly down to the present day. Being thus himted and abu sed by all the world, rendered them mind ful of their own interests; since nobody ca • red for, it behoved them to care for them• selves, and all the stories of Jewish usury and SHYLOCKISH which aro told of that peo. pie , seem but to show that the crushed worm feebly turned and paid back a little of the ill treatment which it had received from the passenger. The Jews were always a peo ple "morn sinned against than sinning;"and black and fiendish must that heart be,which in this liberal age can entertain any other feelings toward them than those of tho ten derest consideration and an earnest desire to renumerate them, as far as possible, for the deep injustice which they have suffered at the hands of Christians.--Atlas.

Ttle. JOHN TYLER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED. STATES. ,as, by the Providence n 1 God, Mr. T)ler is now elected to the highest poliiiq honor within the roach of an Aaterican citizen, his life, history, and chatacter, have become highly interesting subjects of inquiry. For the satirlaction of our readers we will attempt to furnish a general outline of President Tyler's history, which must nee• essarily be imperfect, from our want (ditties and particulars. Mr. TYLER was-born in Virginia, about the year 1790 or '91.. He iu therefore near 51 or 52 years of age. His father was an American patriot of the revolution, serving as an officer in the cause of his country, during the whole period of the war. lia was then judge of the Superior Courts of Va. and afterwards Governor ,ef that State a bout the year 1808. He was remarkable for his honesty and independence, and for the purity of his character. Ho belonged to the old Republican family of that State. John Tyler (now President) was grad. uated with honor at William and Mary col lege, in Virginia. Soon after he reached the age of 21 ho was chosen a delegate to the Legislature of the State. After hav— ing served several years in that body, he was elected a Representative in Congress. After a service, we think, of four years in the House of Representatives, he became again a member of the Virginia LogislatUre, and was soon chosen Governor of the State. While (governor Gen. Lafayette was on his visit to this country, and Gov. Tyler welcomed him to the old Dominion, in on' of the most chisiic and eloquent addresses, delivered on similar occasions, in the Union. At the expiration of his constitutional term as Governor, Mr. Tyler was elected to the U. S. Senate, to serve from the 4th of March, 1927, in the place of the late John Randolph of Roanoke, whom he bent. While a member of the Senate, viz: in 1828, he advocated the election of Gen. Jackson to the Presidency, and for some time thereafter was a suppontea of his Ad• ministration. Having served out his term in the Senate of the United States, he was re-elected to that cloymed station in the winter of '32- -'33, and continued there until he received instructions from the Virginia Legislature which he conld not obey. and he then re signed his seat. This ended his Senatori al career. While in the Senate, he was chosen, in the absence of the Vice President on more than one occasion, if we mistake not, "President of the Senate." As chair man of the Committee on the District, the citizens there have found him a kind and firmifiend. He was afterwards again elected, we be lieve, a member of the Virginia Legiala where he served two sessions. He was unanimously nominated by the National Convention at Harrisburg, (Dec. 1839.) a candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United States, on the ticket with Gen eral Harrison, and was elected to that high office by an overwhelming vote. Mr. TYLER, has always been urbane and I courteous in his manners —moderate and pcm• sasses an amiable and benevolent heart.— To purity of intention, he also unites that spirit of independence, which distinguished his father. “Trz.zn the Statesman, honest end true," is a lino familiar to those who have been accustomed to hear the 'Tippecanoe 'songs of the country. In political faith, ho is a. Jeffinsonian, Madisonian Republican, and has always preferred moderation rather than partaken of uliraism. To his hen ds are the "powers and duties" of the office or Chief Magistrate of this mighty nation, now committed. That ho will exercise and discharge them with honor to himself, and glory to the country is our fervent wish, and confident hope. His known honesty and faithfulness is a guaranty that, if public affairs are not administered in a manner to receive muter applause and support, it will not be his fault.—Madisonian. THE EIGHT wAlf of Rcroax.--The Pittsburg Gazette of April 3, contains the following: We publish the following for general in formation. About one thousand dollars a year was, we believe, paid to an individual who held an office which is now declared to be "entirely unneces4ary." WAR DEPARTMENT, March 29th, 1841.

DAr or FASTING ♦RD Pa♦:an.—President Tyler, it will be aeon by reference to another column, has issued a request to the people of the United States, that they observe the 14th day of May next, as a day of Fasting and Prayer, in view of the late National bereavement.

It is probable that the Locos have also carried a majority of the Common Council. MELANCHOLY CALAMITY I NORTH BEND BURNED to Me GROUND! "Misfortunes come not singly." We regret to announce the distressing intelligence of the entire destruction by fire of the late residence of the much lamented HAMMON, at North Bond.— The following letter from a correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, gives the particulars as far as known in Cincinnati, at the time of wnting: CINCINNATI, April 12, 10i o'clock, A. M. I have but a moment left to inform you of a conflagration at the residence of our late Chief Magistrate, at North Bend.— From the taste and a passenger on the steamboat New York, which passed there yesterday evening, about 5 o'clock, I learn that the entire north wing was in flames, and that the windows and furniture of the main building had been removed. Fears aro entertained that the entire mansion ere this is in ruins, although the wind was favor able, it blowing in a contrary direction from the main building, and a large number of men were doing their utmost to arrest the flames, with wet blankets, and by such oth er means as they had at command. The mail boat due from Louisville ut an early hour this morning, has not yet arrived—the probability is that she is detained at North Bend rendering assistance. Should she come with full particulars in time,' will do. vatch you a second letter. Yours, H. P. S.—Eleven o'clock.—The mail boat has arrived. The entire house is destroy ed. It was occupied at the time by Mrs. garrison, widow of the deceased President, and by H. 11. Taylor and lady. No cause has been assigned for this calamity, but it was doubtless accidental. All the furniture of the house was saved. In haste. H. A slip from the Cincinnati Republican office, confirms the intelligence contained in the above letter. Revenue, Relief, Taxation and Currency Bill. Mr. Johnston's Bill to raise revenue and relief the wants of the community, passed finkl reading In the House of Representatives. on Frit'ey, last. This Bill ""suspends for five years the extraordince. Ty penalties imposed upon the banks; gives them (with the exception of the UT S. Bank) the pow er to issue small notes to the amount of three millions of dollars, to be secured by state stocks; authorizes this sum of three millions to be paid in various appropriations fur interest on the pub lic debt, repairs, the payment of old debts, Nichol son court, geological survey, &c., levies certain new taxes, among them a tax on lawyers," &c. Tha Harrisburg Chronicle thinks "it is altogeth er the most important bill which has been passed at the present session, and if the Governor per mits it to become a law, will doubtless do mere to relieve the wants of the community and restore confidence between the banks and the people, than any thing which has been heretofore enacted or even agitated at the present session." The Bill was sent to the Senate, and referred to the Committee of Finance. There is but little iloubt of its early passage through that body. rop, THE STAR. AND REPUBLICAN BANNER. MT. gdikrt—llaving been one of those who were so much a mused and edified last evening by the lecture of Dr. Meucci on the subject of Physiogno. my allow ma through your columns to say a word or two of *bat: gentleman end the science ou which he lectures. His subject is certainly a novel one in this community,acd the manner in which he treats it is as novel to persons dour frigid temperaments , as is the theme itself. Without being deficient in the reasoning faculties, the Doctor possesses an imaxintition of the loftiest order. Hie pinup• tlon of tho ridiculous is also exquisite. I defy the greatest stoic on earth t o li sten to hi m en d ' w it, ness his salon without indulging in a hearty and unfashionable laugh. I thought h e u tt ere d th e Isnittiugo of truth and reason when be told us that Physiognomy is felt by all, but properly under /toad by cone. Wn all feel that the onatonanci Is at least to some extent an index to the mind and heart. That the index of one mind may be more difficult to read then that of another is no doubt true; and that some men may be more learned in the language of the face than others, is equally reasonable. But that either Physiognomy or Phrenology can ever be rendered of much prac tical utility is more problematical. We can all tell the difference between tho countenance of an idiot and that of a statesman, and in many instan ces be able to distinguish between a knave and an honest man. Tho Doctor is however very san guine on the subject of the practical importance of Physiognomy in the every day business of life.— He says that es man ie the shaper of his own character, so is he to some extent the shaper of his own face. For instance if a men indulges in a good hearty laugh, it will for the time being give his face a peculiar shape. This much the objector to physiognomy must admit—but whilst the objector is bound to admit this, he says that this peculiar shape of the face will cease to. exist so soon as the laugh has subsided. But suppose this same person for a number of years lives on the laugh end grow fat principle, is it not reason. able to suppose that his countenance (even when the broad grin has left it) will retain such a shape as to show that its owner is fond of a laugh.— Who would mistake such countenance for that of a monk? The Doctor's analysis of the countenances and characters of Washington and . Napoleon struck me as being particularly fine. In Napoleon's countenance even in his calmest moments you . :an discover the lurk inga of anger. Such a counte nance says Dr. M., always indicates that the wea rer is stern, ambitious, inflexible, vain-glorious and selfish. In the countenance of Washington you find the smile of love, indicating the open hearted patriot and philanthropist, and in every respect the opposite of the child of destiny. His characters of Gan. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren were no less striking and correct. Without pre tending to say that every person can become a very proficient physiognomist, I do think that the human countenance may to some extent be studi ed with advantage by all. Dr. M. promised to favor us with another lecture, on the same subject, in the course of a few days, when it is hoped all the lovers of novelty and glee will lend him their countenance. X. Gpxrrranotto, April 17, 1841. FROM HARRISBURG. Correspondence of the Gettysburg Star and Banner HAnatailuna, April 10, 1841. Dear Sir:—The bill as it passed the Senate, for the abolition of the Mayor's court in the city of Lancaster, passed the House to-day, yeas 54, nays 32. It will be recollected that a bill for this pur pose passed both Houses some time since, but in consequence of the Governorrefusing to sign .it, it failed to become a law. The present bill differs somewhat from that in this particular, that the qualified electors of the city and county shall decide by ballot whether or not it shall be abol ished. Messrs. Brodhead of N., Hahn, Fenton, Pierce and Vanhorn (Porter) voted for the bill. Mr. Brodhead of Northampton (upon leave) presented a petition praying for an imposition of a tax upon all 'oacholors over thirty years of age, considerable discussion was had upon the refer ence; ems contending that it should be referred to the committee of ways and means, others to the committee of vice and immorality, when a motion to refer it to the committee on domestic manufacture, finally 'prevailed. The House then resumed the second reading of the bill relative to the election of county treasu ' rare. An amendment providing for the election of Deputy Surveyors and Deputy Attorneys Gen eral, was negatived, yeas 22, nays 64. The bill was then passed through second readingovith va rious amendments relating to elections in the city and county of Philadelphia. In the Senate a long debate took place upon tho question of printing an additional thousand copies of the report of Mr. Williams from ,the committee on the judiciary in relation to the $2OOO fees paid James M. Porter and Ovid F. Johnson by order of the Governor. ll►nurauoeo, April 12, 1841. Dear Sir:—Tho bill relating to the election of county treasurers by the people was finally pease() by the House this morning by a voto of 75 to 11. The House then resolved itself into. a commit tee of tho whole on a Senate bill relating to some streets in the borough of Harrisburg. The reve nue bill of Mr. Johnston negatived a few day■ since on second reading, was offered as an amend recut to the bill and passed through committee of the whole with a number of very important amend ments. In the Senate, considerable portion of the morn ing session was occupied with the bill for the re lief of the Contractors on the Gettysburg Extension of Pennsylvania Rail Road, on second reading, but before any questiun was had on the subject, the Senate adjourned until four o'clock this after noon. The consideration of the bill was not re sumed this afternoon. Your's &c. likrinreptrrio, April 13, 1841 Dear Sin—The House passed through its various readings this morning, the bill from the Senate relative to the Dauphin county prison. The House then resolved itself into a commit tee of the whole on a bill from the Senate relative to a certain street in the borough of Harrisburg, to which was attached Mr. Johnston's revenue bill negatived some time since. The bill came up to day on second reading, but before the Heusi, got through with it, it adjourned. I will not at tempt to give you at this time the amendment made in the bill thus far. The House was occupied nearly all day in the discussion of Mr. Johnston's bill on second road trig. Present appearances indicate that several days more will be consumed on the bill. The adjournment resolution postponed nni to-day, was not taken up, HAIIIIIIIBIIIIG. April 15, 1841 Dear Sir:—We have had (mother veto, being furl the seventh for the session. It relates to a bill relative to some church lands in the county of Philadelphia. The House have again had under consideration upon second reading Mr. Johnston's bill; a num• ber of amendments have been made, by way of increase or reduction of appropriation to the vari ous purposes embraced in the bill. The bill has not yet boon gone through with on second read ing; it will, require another day, or more. • clues die.. Dear Sir:—l hasten to inform you that Mr. Johnston's bill has just passed the House on third reading, yeas 51, nays 39. Messrs. Brodhead of Pike,Trach and Weaver (loco focos) voted for tbo bill. The bill passed second reading this afternoon, the rule which prohibits bills being read twice on the same day, was dispensed with without oppo• sition, and passed on third reading as above. It will be sent to the Senate to-morrow and presen ted to the governor without much further delay. Your's 4cc. At a meeting of the York Springs Anti Slavery Society held in Wolford's School House, on the 3d day of April, 11341, tho following resolutions were offered, and after discussion, unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the late free discussion, of sla very, in the legislature of Kentucky, and the de claration of the "Louisville Public Advertiser," and Louisville Observer, that "Kentucky would this day, abolish slavery, if a convention were called to remodel the Constitution," are a refuta tion of the charge, that the efforts of the Aboli. tioniats have thrown back the work of menet- pawn. Resolved, That we rejoice, in the liberation of the "Amistad captives" (from their long and un just confinement,) by the Supreme Court, seeing therein the evidence, that justice and mercy are yet found in our national courts of justice. On motion it was Resolved, That the above proceedings, be pub lished in all the papers of this county. Signed by order of the meeting, WM. WRIGHT, Prat. A. Robinette, See'y pro tern. ANOTHER USE FOR CAOUTCIIOUC. - A man in Texas, whose ear had been lopt uff in a fight with the Indians, has had it re- placed by one made of Indian rubber,which looks as good as new, and answers all the purposes of hearing- This experiment may be called a new ear-a in surgery. SUICIDES.—On Monday evening last, says thei York Pa. Press, a son of Mr. William Dick, of Shrewsbury township not more than twelve years of age,commit• icd suicide by hanging himself. A slight whipping given him by his father, is said to have been tha cause of this act. On the same evening and within a mile of the same place, a pedlar (name unknown) hung himself. He had been seen during the day in a state of intoxteaiton, threaten ing to kill himself. To the demon Rum may be ascribed his death. CIVILIZATION OF /NOLA:Vt.—The Broth ertown Indians, about forty-five miles from Green Bay, Wisconsin, have been admitted to citizenship in that Territory, and are substantial farmeks. The Stockbridge In dians ere settled thirty-six miles South of Green Bay. Neither of these Tribes per mit ardent spirits to be sold . within their reservations. Among both there has re cently been a very interesting revival of religion: TOI3ACCO.—The amount of duty paid last year on thisarticle in Great Bntain amount ed .to nearly 82,859,000. Of the three kingdoms Abe respective proportions of du ty are —England, £1,973,000; Ireland £613,000; Scotland, £273,000. The State of Illinois will not be repreaen• led in the Extra Session of Congress. The case is hard, but not one of such flagrant injustice as that of New Jersey, robbed of her legal representation during tfie whole of the last session. SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—The White House, at Washington, has not been honor ed by the presence of the wife of a Presi• dent for the last twelve years. Gen Jack son's wife died after his election; Mr. Van Buren was a widower; Gem Hurrison died before his wife was ready to go to Wash ington; and Mr. Tyler is a widower. Your's, &c. RATHER STRANGE.—The Baltimore Sun says, a colored man died suddenly, on Wednesday evening, in that city, while eating supper, at his house. He was the fourth husband of the same woman. The other three died—the first, in bed, imme diately after supper—the second, suddenly after breakfast, and the third while eating dinner. SrEcut ELEcTioN.--Gov. Porter has issued his proclamation for the election of a member of Congress for the 13th Congres sional District, composed of the counties o Cumberland, Perry,..luniata, to till the va. coney by the death .of the Hon. Vim. S. Ramsey, of Carlisle. The election will take place on the 4th of May. THE LADY OF THE WHITE The New York Signal says: The President's Secretary is J. Tyler, Jr. His lady was Miss Priscilla Cooper. She is the daughter of Cooper the Trage dian; of whom, while treading the boards in his glory and his pride, it was finely said 'Cooper, the noblest Roman of them all." This lady is, it seems, to reign at the White House. The Globe calls her "a most accomplished, refined and amiable woman." To this praise we can cordially subscribe. The duties which she is des tined to perform could not be committed to one more worthy to adorn and dignify so lofty a situation. Mild and patient in ad. versity, she will be gentle and kind in pros. pertly. APIIIL 14 Your's &e. MANZI= GUARDS.

In consequence of the pleasantness of their operation, they are universally used in every section of this wide extended country where they are made known, and are fast superseding every other preparation of professed similar im port. Upwards of fourteen thousand cases have been certified as cured solely from their use since the introduction of them into the United States, thus establishing the fiict beyond all doubt, that the Brandreth Veg etable Universal Pills cure' the ppn re nt. ly) most opposite diseases by the one situ pie act of continually evacuating the bow els with them, until the disease gives way; therefore, whatever may bo said of the theory, the utility of the, practice is now beyond alt doubt.
