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, J. I.

Macon, 42 ts THB 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.

GOODMAN, S Bdltor3 ’ 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.

UlvOUiUfa Will design, select, and arrange the illustrations, of which there will be about 1408, executed on wood, in the very best style of the modern school of that art. In submitting the Prospectus ofthe Editor to the public, the publisher has only to add that he will spare neither expense nor pains to make this edition of the World's Poet superior te that has hereto fore appeared—in illustrations, typography and pa per. The form will be royal octavo, and will be is sued in weekly parts, price 121-2 cents, which pla ces it within the means of persons of the most limit ed fortunes, whilst on accouhtofthe peculiar beauty it will gain itself admission into the libraries of the rich, and there prove to be one of the choicest orna ments. Those who wish this work in the most perfect state will only be sure of it dy taking the parr* as they ap pear, which will contain the early proofs of the en gravings. The Tragedy of Hamlet is now in press. The first part will be issued in March. 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. 11. W. HEWET, Publisher, 281, Broadway, New York.

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 a singlecopv.

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. WASHINGTON GREEN HOW.
