DYSPEPSIA.
DCTTo soothe the sufferings ol
humanity, to ameliorate the pangs
of disease, is the grand object ol
medical science. This is efficient
ly demonstrated in the healing vir
tues of
DR. BENJAMIN BRANDRETIi’S
PILLS.
The cures effected by this medi
cine would fill volumes.
Views on Indigestion as a source
of various Undefined and Irregular
Nervous Sensations.
“Ills, small at first, grow larger from delay,
“ A nd slowly eat their sad and cankering way ;
“ Thus by successive throes, the frame is torn,
“ Till health and peace of mind alike are gone.”
1 1 VIE nerves ofthe human body—those necessary
A and mysterious agents w hich immediately con
nee* man with external nature—are singularly prone
to have, their functions disordered by an oppressed con
dition of the stomach ; the minute termination of that
portion of he nerves expanded upon the organs of
digestion conveying the morbid impression to the Brain.
And although the Head can. undoubtedly, like other
organs, be the scat of pri matt cisorder,yet, in the great
majority of cases, the uneasy sensations there experi
enced are symptomatic ol 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
1 organ of the body ; and whether we survey it in the
agonising form of Tic Dolereaux—the alarming con
vulsions of the Epileptic seizure—or in that irritable
condition of the nerves ofthe heart occasioning nervous
palpitation—they can all frequently be traced to the
source above mentioned, and be cured by mild evacu
ant and tonic remedies. To relieve a stata of so much
suffering and distress (in which body and mind also
participate) BRAN9RBTB FILLS are confi
dently recommended; as, by combining aromatic tonic
and cleansing properties, they remove all oppressive
accumulations, strengthen tne Stomach, induce a
healthy appetite, and impart tranquility to the nervous
system ; and in fact, by their general purifying power
upon the blood, exert a most beneficial influence in all
cases of disease. Read the following.
DYSPEPSIA CURED.
BENNINGTON, Vl Dec. sth, 1843.
Dear Sir I wish you to add my testimony to the
host of others that you have, in saver of your valuable
Pills. In 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
sensations 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 1
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, who had been
sick oi the same complaint, advised me to try your
pills ; but,(having tried most of the medicines without
obtaining any relief, had but little faith that your
Pills would be of benefit to me ; but, at bis earnest
solicitations, I procured a box and commenced taking
them. The first box produced little or no effect, and
I began to despond, for fear that your medicine
would prove like other* I have taken; but 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 change : the pain in my chest
began to be less painful, and my food did not distres
me as uuch as formerly; I wenton taking them un
til I had taken six boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA
was GONE, and my expectation of an early death
vanished, and I felt like a " new creature.” 1 was
then, and am now, a healthy man. 1 have never
since been troubled with the DYSPEPSIA. I
have administered your Pills to the members of my
family, and to my friends, and in all cases with good
success. You can publish if it will be of any use to
you. I am, dear Sir, trulyyours,

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 15th 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 cover expen
ses. This is all he asks. He therefore trusts that
the members of the democratic party of Georgia
will sustain a publication which will be one of the
organs of the party during the approaching contest
for political power. As the principals of the publish
er, mid of the present editors of the Constitutional
ist are well known In Georgia, and os 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
paper. They will endeavor to make it acceptable to
their friends, ifunremilted industry and close atten
tion to passing events can accomplish tbit object.—
If by the publication of the paper 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, ofthe size ofthe weekly Constitutionalist, and
will contain 28 columns of political matter. It will
be entirely devoted to the approaching contest. —
The terms will be as follows :
For the time it will be published, six months, one
dollar for one copy; one person taking five copies,
four dollars, and taking ten copies seven dollars; all
payable in advance, 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 necessity of such a paper in Georgia, in
order to carry on tbe war successfully in the ensu
ing contest, which will be one of extraordinary ex
citement and vehemence, must be apparent to all
who have observed the feverish circles of the coun
try. The publisher hopes, therefore, te be well sup
portrdin bis undertaking, not only in the way of
subscriptions, but by the contribution of the demo
cratic writers of the State.
fir Friends who receive a copy of this prospectus
arc requested to procure subscribers, and to send
their names as speedily as possible, as it is of impor
tance to ascertain the number of papers that will be
wanted for the first impression, though an extra
number will be printed.

PROSPECTUS.
The Pictorial and Illustrated editions of SHAK
SPEARE, lately "published in England, are amongst
the most beautiful specimens of the recent and re
markable improvement ol the art of wood engraving,
which, by combining great excellence of execution,
with economy of price, has given an unprecedented
diffusion to the most useful as well as the most ex
quisite productions of the 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 scene, with wonderful truth and power; whilst
the wood engraving of Knight’s Pictorial edition
combine with the highest merits of art and taste,
such a learned and minute accuracy as to scenery,
costume, arcbitecture and antiquity as to make them
a perpetual and most instructive commentary upon
the Poet’s text. It is now proposed to embody in
an American Edition, the admirable illustrations of
both these editions, engraved with equal excellence
of mechanical execution, to add to these, other en
gravings from eminent artists, as Reynolds, Fuseli,
S. Newton, &c., and to accompany them with a beau
tifully printed and correct text.
But the publisher, anxious 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, but tc all
who speak the tongue
That Shakspearc spake,
Could not content himself with a mere republieulion
or compilation. He has therefore prevailed upon R.
W. Weir, whose reputation as an artist is already
identified with his country’s history, to contribute a
serieß of original designs, together 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 reason the publish
er, instead of reprinting the text and commentary of
any popular English impression, was desirous that
his edition should have the supervision of an Amer
can editor. This task lias 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, unencumbered by any notes
or comments upon the page itself; as however use
ful they may be elsewhere, they are too apt to divert
the mind from the power of the Poet’s thought, and
to disturb the magic of Ilia scene. Such notes as
may be thought useful for the explanation or criti
cism of the text, will be thrown into an Appendix to
each play.
The text of Shakspeare's dramatic 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. It
passed during the last century through a succession
of varying editions until the revision of Stevens and
Malone, whose text, (or rather that of Stevens) has
become the standard from whicli most of the English
and American editions have been printed, with vari
ous degrees of accuracy. But within the last twen
ty years a more minute and 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 str'Stituting an arbitrary monotonous mat
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, and 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 are 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 waim
controversy between the more recent editors.
Upon these the American editor thinks it due to
the character of this edition, to decide for himself
without implicitly following the te x t of any one mod
ern edition. As the industry and learning of prior
editors have furnished the collation of various read
ings and the authorities upon which they may be
supported, the task is no longer that of laliorious in
vestigation, but, as it were, of judicial decision, en
lightened by contending argument.
As many of these variations arc of nearly equal
probability, and as some of them arc 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 toexplain 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 as practica
ble. But any commentary upon Sbakspcare, how
ever brief, would be 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 poetrv, passions, philoso
phy. 'Hie 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 minds of Europe. Still it is believed that
this duty can be satisfactorily performed without
swelling the edition to an inconvenient bulk.

ington, D. C., the SPECTATOR weekly It
will be devoted to the spread of true Democratic princi
ples and will adopt for its motto the words ofthe Hon
John C. Calhoun— “Free Trade; Low Duties; No
Debt; Separation from Banks ; Economy, Retrench
ment; and strict adherence to the Constitution;" and
will bear aloft his truly Democratic banner. It will a!
so strongly advocate ihe limitation ol the tenure ofthe
Presidential office to one term —not only in justice to
te distinguished public men of ihe nation, but as more
consonant to the genius of our Ropublican institutions
and more conducive (o a faithful and independent ad
ministration of the Government.
As the most direct and effective mode of securing
the permanent ascendancy of these cardinal princi
ples, the Spectator will zealously urge upon the coun
try the claims of the distinguished Southern States
man for the Presidency. In doingtiiis.it will not be
unmindful of the integrity and safety of the Republi
can Party, an! will manifest a proper regard for the
pretensions of the prominent individuals who have
been named lor this high trust, and are identified with
the advancement of these principles. The Spectator
will be edited by one of the ablest and most experien
ced political writers of tiie day.
The lerms are three dollars per year, in advance, for

THE PETERSBURG REPUBLICAN.
Believing the present to be a crisis too Important to
the interestsof the democratic party to allow any press
devoted to its cause to sink for want >f support, the
subscriber has, at the instance of many friends, con
sented to assume the editorial guidance of the Peters
burg Republican.
Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of Democ
racy the necessity of recurrence for future success to
the fundamental principles of States’ Rights, and their
strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi.
can will neither in itself exhibit laxity of political faith,
nor tolerate its indulgence in others, but will undevia
lingly adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em
bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen—“ Free
trade ; low duties; no debt; separation from Banks ;
economy; retrenchment; and strict adlterance to the
Constitution.’’
The successful maintenance! and permanent estab
lishment of this wise and just system of measures must
greatly depend on the judicious selection of the Demo
cratic candidate for the next Presidency, and believing
the amplest guarantee of these important ends to be
afforded by the eminent abilities and unsullied faith of
JOHN C. CALHOUN, the Republican will advocate
his claims to the nomination of the National Conven
tion. These claims will be enforced with due respect
to the preferences of others, and the cordial sttpport of
this press will be given Ito the Nominee of a Conven
tion so assembled as to he general, and so constituted
as to give a clear expression to the will of the majority.
The Petersburg Republican will, as heretofore, be
published three tunes a week, at Five Dollars per an
num, aiways payable in advance.
The subscriber will assume its control on the third
Monday in June, until which time all communications
will be addressed to him (post paid) Richmoi and.
