j it is obvious that no mail connexion ‘or other public ac- j
i conimodatioii is prejudiced. Ho may ask for more run- I
1 ning time to the trip .during a specified number of days, |
at certain seasons o( peculiarly bad reads; but beyond 1
these changes, a proposal for service different from the j
advertisement will prevent its being considered in com- i
petition with a regular bid not set aside for ex tmvagance; J
aud where a bid contains any of the above aitenhions, j
their disadvantages will be estimated in comparing it i
with other proposals.
14. There should lie but one route bid Tor in a proposal. !

mediately after tin; Ist April next, report that fact to the 1
j department,stating their exact distance from the railroad j
■ depot, and how otherwise supplied with the mail, to cna- |
) ble the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply |
! to he made from the railroad by mail messengers, from j
j and after the L.t July next.
j 19 Under the act of3d March. 1345, the route is to bo I
let to the lowest bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties I
for faithful performance, without reference to the mode !
of transportation than maybe necessary to provide for |
the due celerity, certainty, and security of .-.utdi trans
portation. {
i When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance j
that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certain- j
ty, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from any ac
commodation for travel, it will not be entitled to the
route
-20. When the bid docs not name a inode of conveyance,
it will he taken and understoodto bcforthijlowest node of
conveyance to wit; mi horeback. When it proposes to
curry according to the advertisement, and uo mode of
conveyance is stated for the route in the advertisement,
it will Reconsidered as offering only for horseback con
veyance.
21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, lens, a j
new description ofbid has been received. It specifics no
mode of conveyance, but engag s to carry the mail with
certainty, celerity, and security, using the terms of the
law. These bids are called, from the manner ia which
they are designated onthe books oftbe. department, '-star
bid." It has been decided, after nurture consideration,
that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as
hieh a grade as two Imr-e co ach transportation is to be
preferred to til•• star bid T ! experience of the depu t
inent enables it to lay down the follow ing rules, viz ;
When the mail on the route is not so large as to requira
two horse conch conveyance, u star bid. if the lowest,will |
be preferred to the specific bid.
22. When the mails are of such size and weight as to I
renderif necessary or expedient, in reference to them
alone, to provide two-horse coach conveyance, tbc spe
cific bid. though the highest will tie preferred to the star
bid, to ike extentof u moderate diff« rence in the compen
sation, in <'a*-e i iJie difference is not such as to interfere
with the policy of the new law, w hich looks to a reduc
tion imho Cost of transportation. Exceptions, however,
may be allowed where the star bid if made try the present
on ner of the slock on the route, and it is manifest that the
reasons for preferring the specific bid do not exist ia fits
case.
23. On Voutee of the highest class, where four-horse
coach or steamboat transportation is required by the erase
and importance of the mails, the preference mr the spe
cific bid will be, if necessary carried to a greater extent
of difference than on 'lie inferor coach routes, subject,
however, to the exceptions above stated.
24. A modification ofa bid, in any of its essential terms
is tantamount to a new bid, find cannot be received, so as
to interfere with regular -comjieiilion, after the last hour
set for receiving nids, JOHNSON.

have long regarded it as a most lini'iiiiating re j
v flection upon the youth, that no professedly non j
trill family journal hus yet been sustained w thin herbor- j
tiers. Wo have tested the experiment whether -itch a
p&per could not be supported at the immediate South, I
and though not Wholly unsuccessful, our experience has
taught us that the papers of tins class publislied ri the
lame Northern elites, possess advantages over tiro.-c of i
the country, which, in a measure, d fy comiteiitiou. ‘lint
here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as it does '
on the frontier of the Southern States, is yet near enough i
to tlie great commercial, literary and political emporium, i
to be included in the neighborhood of great American J
cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating j
point, which are possessed by either Philadelphia, Boston
or New York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the
facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as
well as tlie current literature of the day, foreign and do
mestic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern
cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap, j
and can be better adapted to the wants and tastes of South- j
ern readers, than those Northern papers which now draw
so large an amount of their patronage from the Southern
public.
Entertaining these views, we have looked with confi
dence to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s
experience has tended to strengthen that confidence, and
hov we enter upon its publication with a firm conviction
that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation
equal to that of its Northern cotemporarics, is a faithful
and energetic devotion of our best abilities to make it a
useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our de
sign to make the Western Continent emphatically a
Southern family paper, that may be read with interest
and profit by every member of a Southern family.— |
With this view, we shall draw for our literary depart- i
meat, from the best sources,such matter as will interest ;
and entertain the mind, without offending tiie taste or i
corrupting the morals of our readers.
■Pains will he taken to give the latest intelligence on all j
subjects of interest to the general reader, to tlie exclu- ,
sion of the vast amount cf local matter, such as personal
gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms,
which malic up so large a portion of the staple of some of
the popular weeklies of the North. In a word, though
we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all,
our chief aim shall be to adapt it to thewants and tastes
of the people of the South and South-West, upon whom,
and these of ocrown city who are disposed to sustain
such a journal, we must mainly depend for support.
R lying more upon the intrinsic merits of our paper,
than on any promises we might make in a prospectus, i
we will close by appealing to the readers of the South |
and West for a share of that patronage which they s«
liberally Fest-ow upon the -overgrown weeklies of the
North.

character hitherto has been almost exclusively politics I. |
We purpose in future to devote a portion of its columns
to domestic 110 ws of general interest, and to miscellane
ous literature, which, without impairing its political in
tiuence, may reader it tlie more acceptable to an ex

The ‘•SEMI-WKl’.KliY UNION” will be publislied
every Monday and Thursday, during the recess oft ou
gress, at $5 per annum. This contains all the matter
contained in the “Daily Union," except local advertise

instead of two, will be issued, w ithout anj extra charge
to subscribers.
OLAIiIiEMEM (IF IKE WEEKLY UNIOV.
The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday; ;
and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to i
near double its present size , we, shall soon lie enabled to
give nearly every article which may appear in the daily
and semi-weekly editions, iu tlie extremely low rate of
$2. We propose also to give, in this edition, a complete
synoptical summary of the proceedings in both houses
of Congress—thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a
most valuable channel of information to all classes of
our country. But, to remunerate ns for this enterprise,
an extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensa
ble.
W&setie this opportunity to add that some delay has
taken place in putting our paper to press, which has
prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse
quently circumscribed its circulation. We shall make
arrangements 'to comedy this detect, and to obviate this
objection'. Afterthe present week we trustthat no com
plaint will be made upon this subject.
( ON GR ESSIO NA L It EG IST I: R.
In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to pub
li-li, during tlie sessions cf the national legislature, a
'‘‘■Congressional Register, ' to be issued weekly, and to
contain a full REPOKTof the dailyproceeditigsand de
bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which
we have made with the very best corps of reporters will
enable us to give even tnorefull and extended reports
than we have produced during this session, superior as
we claim them to be toany preceding ones. The Regis
ter will be niadeup from the daily reports in the “Union,”
carefully revised by an experienced editor,and w ill con
stitute a complete and authentic record of the session.
An appendix w ill be added, uniform with tlie Register,

FOR DYSPEPTICS.
FBAIIESE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
-M. compound, and are offered to the pub*
i lie from a principle of benevolence, under tbe iuil
est conviction that they will be found a sale and
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
triumphantly tested not only by some ul the most
i respectable families in the Stale. who have furnish*
| ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
bin aiso by the proprietor, who, for ten years, sin
tered all the gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied
to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete
rious ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
which accompany each bottle, may be given with
entire safety*to an infant in the month
If the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
ingly,( which is highly important in stubborn cases,)
they will, soon after the use of a few bottles, be
found to act on the system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans
ing tiie liver, promoting digestion, increasing the
appetite,strengthening the chest and voice, reliev
ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the. breast. They
are also most excellent for cholera morbus, habitual
constipation,sea-sickness,nausea, proceeding from
whatever cause, in cases of general debility, it
has proved one of the best remedies, and is there
fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary
gentlemen,students,and others of sedentary habits. I
Taken in small doses frequently through the day,
they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and
likewise been administered with the happiest effect
in cholera infantum.
in all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters w ill
he found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
ing to the directions w Inch accompany each bottle.
And although it lias been testified by several that
they are excellent in many others, yet in none other
than those above enumerated, is t lie proprietor w ill
ing to vouch for their efficacy. They were prima
rily and solely intended to cure. Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Bitters have been eight years be-
I fore the public; and in consequence oft he increas
ing demand for this valuable meuicine, the proprie
tor has entered largely into the business—bottles
are procured having "‘Colleton Bitters” moulded in
j them—they are also numbered, sealed and starnp
j ed with an appropriate motto. Price $ I per bottle.

Dyspepsia and River Complaint, Nervous Diseases,
I Dropsical Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and
■ diseases originating from a depraved or Impuru
i state of the Wood or other fluids of tlie body.
The proprietor of this Alterative would most re*
| spectfully assure the public that he has not offered
this preparation to their notice without due reflec
tion. and close and rigid study, nor until after
; twelve years’experience had manifested its great
superiority over every other article of the kind, —
and he now recommends it with confidence, fully
believing that tlie above combination of medicine
will effectually eradicate from the system a class
: of disease some of which have heretofore been cuu*
i sideretl incurable.
He has prescribed it in almost every variety of
| disease and with unparalleled success, especially
in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous ami
scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from
obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri
ty oft he blood.
Cancer and Cancerous Tumors.
He has used this preparation in upwards oftwe*-
tv well defined cases of cancer and cancerous in
mors, and in every case but one with perfect ami
entire success,
lironchocele or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.)
He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of
goitre, ami it has never failed in a single instance
to completely remove the disease. Not a solitary
! case of failure. All were cured.
The success lie has met with in curing broncho
cele and cancerous affections has convinced hint
that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be
removed with as much certainty as Fever and
Ague, iletloes not w ish to be understood as uay
j ing that they can be cured as soon as Fever and
j Ague, fun with as much certainty; and further, that
i he lias good reason for believing that this prepara
tion will not only i nre these diseases w hen formed,
hut that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle
lurking in the system, from which that peculiar
| class us diseases, as \v ell as that of scrofula emanate*
Scrofula—King’s Evil.
This preparation lias been used in numerous case#
of Scrofula, King's Evil, and scrofulous swellings,
and always with the must deci led success.
Skia Diseases.
He has prescribed it in a great variety of cutane
ous affections, and found it successful in curing salt
rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples,morphew
i and jaundiced skin, Ac.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint.
It has been used in numerous cases of liver r»«v
plaint ami Dyspepsia, and with I lie happiest effect.
Tic-Douloureux.
It has been used in several cases of Nenralgwy
and in every case it was successful.
Rheumatism.
This preparation has been prescribed in n great
many cases of chronic rheiunaisin, and in every
i case in which it was used until the system became
j affected by the medicine, llie disease was removed*
. (Jotit,
A number of cases of gout have been cured by
: this preparation. In one cd these cases, the man
had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen
1 years as to entirely disable him from business, ami
for five months immediately previous to his taking
the Alterative he had been confined to his room;
hut before he had finished the third bottle, he was
enabled to walk about the streets and soon after re
turned to his business, from which lie had so long
been excluded by his afflictions.
Dropsical Swellings,
This medicine increases the powers of digestion,
< exi ites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by
which watery or calcareous depositions, and ail
unnatural enlargements tire reduced, it impart*
I tone and vitality to the whole system, removing
I sick and morbid headaches, giddiness, wandering
i pains and nervous affections.
In fact, in every case where the medicine ha*
been taken for some time, no mailer for wh t pur
i pose, the general health of the patient has always
been improved by it.
In conclusion, the proprietor would say thatsomo
! of thf- most astonishing cases <>f skin diseases, ran
| cer, brom-hocele,ami*scrofula, have been cured by
this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but
want of room in this sheet precludes their publica
tion at lias lime.
CANCER.
; An interesting cese cured by Jayne’s Alterative,
In the spring of 1831, a cancerous tumor appear
ed in the right breast of Mrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter
Stretch, of Salem, N. J. It was examined by many
I Physicians, and was Considered by all as cancerous,
1 and besides bore all the characteristic marks of
i one All probable means of removing it were used
without the slightest benefit. It continued to in
| crease both in size ami painfulness, until all hope
; of saving her life, but by a painful operation, wns
abandoned, w hich, after a consultation of eminent
| Physicians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr.
Juh'li Ritea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the
proprietor, and two other medical gent'uinen. The
whole and entire right breast was removed, and af
ter examination ol the tumor, was pronounced by
all present a cancer of the most malignant charac
ter. In about three months, aflerenduring incredi
ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken itt
spirit, to get about again. She remained feeble,
and tier general health was exceedingly bad, as in
deed it had been for several years before. In ihe
spring of 1837, upwards of five years after her breast
had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap
pearance on the right side, immediately over the
part formerly occupied by the nipple of the rigiit
breast, previous toits removal. 'I bis minor steadi
ly increased for several months, and became so
painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un
der the right arm were enlarged; and scirrhus, and
a hard, irregular, ami at times painful tumour, ap
peared in the left breast. No operation could now
arrest the disease. Indeed her w hole body appear
ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was consid
| ered hopeless. Site was of a very scrofulous habit,
i both her parents having died of Pulmonary con
| sumption. The experiment was now made with
this Alterative, it was at first given in small
doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu
ally, but steadily increased daily, as long as she
took it, which was about six months, and the skin
over anil around the tumour was wet night and
morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy
driodate Potash. The tumour continued increas
ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times
very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto
gether, and the tumour swelled out at the base, and
became soft, and then began to diminish, and con
tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige of
j disease was removed. The tumour in her left
I breast, ami those in her right axilla were also dis
persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever
appeared afterwards; and her general health, which
had been so had for fourteen years as to make life a
burthen, was effectually and permanently restored.
The proprietor is in possession of the diseased
breast, and those who choose may examine it. He
would also say that he could mention over a dozen
rases equally interesting, wherein Ids Alterative
has subdued cancerand cancerous tumours, but he
has not room hereto record them.
Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J.,
had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind
pipe, as large as the half of an orange, which was
cured by using lias Alterative for about four
j months.
31Ls R 8 , South Fourth-street, Phila
‘ delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the
| throat, which filled the entire spaee between the
chin and breast-bone, and extended around on
each side of her neck to behind her ears, and from
her ears to her shoulders, and produced aw ful de
formity. It. commenced growing when she was
but five years old. and continued gradually to in
crease until she was nineteen, at which time she
commenced using this Alterative, w hich she took
for seven months, which entirely reduced the en
largement; and site has now as smooth and pretty
a neck as can he found. The proprietor is not at
liberty to give her name in print, but w ill refer per
sons to her.
