Views cn Indigestion as a source of various Undefined and Irregular Nervous Sensations. “Ills, small at first, grow larger from delay, “And slowly eat their sad and cankering way; “ Thus by successive throes, the frame is torn, “ Till health and peace of mind alike are gone." THE nerves of the human body—those necessary and mysterious agents which immediately con nect „,a n with external nature—are singularly prone to have their functions disordered by an oppressed con dition of the stomach ; the minute lerininaiion of that portion of he nerves expanded upon the organs of digestion conveying the morbid impression tothe Brain And although the lleaii can, undoubtedly, like other organs, lie the scat of prima') risorder.yet' in the great majority of ca.es, the uneasy sei sations there experi enced are symptomatic of disordered Stomach; and, further there is abundant evidence to prove that crudi ties in the Stomach and Bowels can, in every grade of humhn existence give rise to spasmodic action in every organ of the t>ody ; and whether we survey it in the agonising form of Tie Dolcreaux—the alarming con vulsions of the Epileptic seizure—or in that irritable condition of 'he nerves ofihe heart occasioning nervous palpitation—they can all frequently be traced to the source above mentioned, and l«e cured by mild evacu ant and tonic remedies. To relieve a state of so much suffering and distress (in which bodv and mind also participate) BRANOHETH PILLS are confi dently recommended: as, by combining aromatic ionic and cleansing properties, they remove all oppressive accumulations, strengthen the Stomach, induce a healthy appetite,and impart tranquility to the nervous system ; and in feet, by their general purifying power upon the blood, exert a most beuttflcial influence in all cases of disease.

Dear Sir: —l wish you to add my testimony to the host of others that you have, in favci of yotirvaluable Fills, fn the year 1838, I was attacked with that dis. agreeable complaint, the DYSPEPSIA, which so affected me that I could not take the least particle of food, without the most unpleasant and uncomfortable spnsations in my chest, head and bowels. My chest was so sore that I could not bear the slightest pres sure without giving me pain. My health was most miserable ; many physicians told me they thought I was in the consumption, and that if I did not give up my business, and change climate I could live but a short time. I tried every thing in the shape of medicine, and consulted the most skilfnl physicians, but found no permanent relief. I became discouraged, gloomy, sad, and sick of life; and, probably, ere this should have been in my grave, had I not fell in with your precious medicine. A friend of mine, w-hohad been sick of the same complaint, advised me to try your pills; but,'having 1 tried most of the medicines « idiom obtaining any relief, bad but little faith (bat your Pills would be of benefit to me ; but, at his earnest solicitations, I procured a box and commenced taking them. The first box produced little or no effect, anil I began to despond, for fear that your medicine would prove like others I have taken; hut my friends argued that one was not a fair trial, and I purchased a second, and before I had taken the whole box I be gan to experience a cl.ange: the pain in mv chest began to be less painful, and my food did notdistres me as uuch as formerly I wenton taking diem un ti I had taken six boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA was GONE, and my expectation of an tarly death vanished, and 1 fed like a “ new creature.” 1 was then, and am now, a healthy man. I have never since been troubled with the DYSPEPSIA. I have administered your Pills to the members of my family, and to my Iricnds. and in all cases with good success. You ran publish if it will be of any use to you. I am, dear Sir, trulyyours, J. I. COOK, Pubbshcrof the State Banner. Dr. Brandretl.’s Principal Office, 241 Broadway ; New York. So'd by J.

Macon, 42 ts T 25 £3 DEMOCRATIC CHAMPION, UNDER the above title shall be issued, from the office of the Georgia Constitutionalist, on the 15th of April next, or perhaps sooner, a weekly news paper, the publication of which shall be continued until the Isth of November following. It is at the solicitation of many political friends that the public ation of such a paper is undertaken. As the pub lisher is well aware that, owing to the moderate price of the subscription, the undertaking cannot be made a profitable one to him, he expects at any rate a sufficient number of subscribers to cot er expen ses. This is all he asks. He therefore trusts that the members of the democratic party of Georgia will sustain a publication whieh will be one of the organsofthe party during the approaching contest for p./Fhieal power. As the principals of the publish er, and of the present editors of tile Constitutional ist are well known in Georgia, and as their stubborn adherence to the democratic faith has been more than once manifested and acknowledged, the pub lisher and editors will not in this prospectus enlarge on the course they will pursue in editing this extra pap-r- They will endeavor to make it acceptable to their friends, if unretnitted industry and close atten tion to passing even's can accomplish that object.— If by the publication of the papor the editors can contribute to a democratic victory, and especially to the maintenance and ascendancy of democratic principles, they will have attained what they are aiming at. The paper will be published with new type, of the size of the weekly Constitutionalist, and will contain 29 columns of political matter. It will be entirely devoted to-the approaching contest. — The terms will be as follows r For the time it will be published, six months, one dollar for one copy; one person taking five ropies, four dollars, and taking ten copies seven dollars ; all payable in advanac, as no paper will be sent unless this is complied with. Postmasters are authorized by the post office reg ulations to transmit to editors money obtained for subscriptions, so that a number of subscribers can join and send through their nearest post office the amount of their subscriptions.

The Tragedy of Hamlet is now' in press. The first part will be issued in March. PROSPECTUS. The Pictorial and Illustrated edition* of BHAK SPEARE, lately published in England, are amongst the most beautiful specimens of the recent and re markable improvement of the ait of wood engraving’, which, by combining great excellence of execution, with economy of price, has given an unprecedented diffusion to the most useful a9 well as the most ex quisite productions ofthe arts of design. The designs of Kenny Meadows for the illustra tions of Tyas’ edition of Shakspearc, expresses the character of the several personages, and the spirit of the scne, with wonderful truth and power; whilst the wood engraving* of Knight’s Pictorial edition combine with the highest me fits of art and ta9te, such a learned and minute accuracy a3 to scenery, costume, architf cture and antiquity as to make them a perpetual and most instructive commentary upon the Poet’s text. It i3 now proposed to embody in an American Edition, the admirable illustrations of both these editions, cnerravcd with equal excellence of mechanical execution, to add to these, otfier en gravings from eminent artists, as Reynolds, Fuseli, S. Newton, &c., and to accompany them with a beau lifully printed and correct t» xt. But the publisher, a xi*»us that his country should pay some part of the homage due from her to the greatest of Poets, as to one who belongs not solely to England, butte all v h ; the tongue That Shakspearc spake, Could not content himself with a mere repuhlication or compilation. He ha3 therefore prevailed upon R. W. Weir, whose reputation as an artist is already identified with his country’s history, to contribute a series of orhhitinl designs, tog-ether with such advice and assistance in other details of art as his taste may suggest for the illustration and embellishment of this publication. From the same teas n the publish er, instead of reprinting the text and com men’ary of any popular English impression, was desirous that his edition should* haVe the supervision fan Ainer can edttot*. This task has been undertaken by GU LIAN O. VERPLANCK. The plan proposed to himself by the editor is to furnish the reader with a carefully prepared and ac curately printed text, tin ifed by any notes or comments upon the page itifcliY a-* however use ftH they mov be elsewhere, thev an too apt to divert the mind from the power of the Poet’s thought, and to disturb the magic of his scene. Such notes as may he thought useful f«»r the explanation criti cism of the text, will he thrown’ fiitb an Appendix to ca« h play. The text of Shakspeare’s dtamatic works, drawn from old printed copies in his age, which had never passed under the author’s own eye, was consequent ly disfigured by many errors and obscurities, ft passed during the last century through a succession of varying editions until the revision of SteVcn-* and Malone, whose text, (or rather that of Stevens) has become the standard from which most of the English and American editions have been printed, with vari ous degrees of accuracy. Bui within the last twen ty years a more minute ami familiar acquaintance with old English idioms, habits, and modes of thought, guided by an intense and constantly increa sing admiration of Shakspeare’s genius, has led to the strong conviction that very many of the numer ous though slight deviations from the ancient text appearing in modern editions, are useless or errone ous interpolations, sometimes weakening the sense and often su suturing an arbitrary monotonous met rical regularity to the Poet’s own native melody.— Accordingly very many of these emendations have been rejected by the last and best English editors, especially Mr. Knight and Mr. Collier, atnl the rea dings of the old folios and quartos have been resto red, unless where some error of the press or manu script was undeniably manifest. Yet there aro ma ny such passages confessedly corrupt, and requiring conjectural emendation; there are also differences of reading between the several old impressions, af fording grounds for some diversity of text and warm controversy between the more recctit editors. Upon these the American edimr thinks it due to the character of this edition, to decide for himself without implicitly following the text of any mre mod ern edition. A« the industry and learning of prior editors have furnished the collation of various read ings and the authorities upon which they may he supported, the task is no longer that oflabmious in vestigation, hut, as it were, of judicial decision, en lightened by contending argument- As many of these variations are of nearly equal probability, and as some of them are doubtless the author’s own alterations at different periods ,all the more important readings will be presented to the reader in the notes for his own selection. Those notes will also contain so much of commentary as may be useful to explain antiquated words and phra ses, obscurely expressed passages, and allusions to obsolete opinions or the habits or history of the times; the whole in as condensed a form a9 practica ble. But any commentary upon Shakspearc, how ever brief, would he imperfect if it did not present some view of the higher criticism employed, not on the. interpretation of his language, but upon his thoughts, his character, his poetr**, passions, philoso phy. The only difficulty here arises from the abun dance, the magnificent variety of the materials con tributed during the last half century by the most brilliant mirds rs Europe. Still it is believed that this duty can be satisfactorily performed without swelling the edition to an inconvenient hulk. H. W. HEWET, Publisher, 281, Broadway, New York.
