This is efficient ly demonstrated in the healing vir tues of DR. BENJAMIN BRANDRETH’S PILLS. The cures effected by this medi cine would fill volumes. 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 man with external nature—are singularly prone to have their functions disordered by an oppressed con dition of the stomach ; the minu'e 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 seat of primary risorder.yeb in the great majority of cases, the uneasy sersations 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 body; and whether we survey it in the agonising form ofTte Dolereaux—the alarming con vulsions of the Epileptic seizure—or in that irritable condition of the nerves of the heart occasioning nervous palpitation—they can all frequently be traced to the source above mentioned, and he cured by mild evacu ant and tonic remedies. To relieve a state of so much suffering and distress (in which hndv and mind also participate BRANDRETH PILLS are confi dently recotntnendetl; as, by combining ar->matic tonic and cleansing properties, they remove all oppressive accumulations, strengthen the sfromach, 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 beiiF.flciai influence in all cases of disease. Read the following. DYSPEPSIA CURED. BENNINGTON, Vt. Dec. sth, 1843. Dear Sir : —I wish you to add my testimony to the host of others that you have, in favei of your valuable Pills. In the year 1839, 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 clfest, 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 skilful physicians, but found no permanent relief, f 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, whohad been sick ol 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 his earnest solicitations. I procured abox and commenced taking them. The first box produced little or no effect, ahtf I began to despond, for fear t tat your medicine would prove like others I have taken; but my friends argued that one was not a fair trial, and I purchased 1 a second, and before 1 had taken the whole box 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 1 felt 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 lomy 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. COOK, Publisher of the State Banner. Dr. Brandretb’s Principal Office, 241 Broadway ; New York. Sold by J.

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 trutil 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 he 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 whieh will be one of the organs of the party during the approaching contest for political power. As the principals of the publish er, and of the present editors of the 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 paper. They will endeavor to make it acceptable to their friends, if unremitted industry and close atten tion to passing events can accomplish that 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, of the size of the 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 advanoc, 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. P. C. GIEU, Publisher. P. C. GIEU, ) R. M. GOODMAN, ) t ’'‘ laor3 - The necessity of such a paper in Georgia, in order to carry on the 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, to be well sup porudin his undertaking, not only in the way of subscriptions, but by the contribution of the demo cratic writers of the State. UjP Friends who receive a copy of this prospectus are 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 he wanted for the first impression, though an extra number will be printed.

THE CHEAPEST AND MOST SPLENDIDLY ILLUMINATED AND ILLUSTRATED EDI TION OF THE BARD OF AVON EVER PUBLISHED. EDITED BY THE HON. GULIAN r. VERPLANCK.

The form will be royal octavo, and will be is sued in weekly parts, price 12 1-2 cents, which pla ces it within the means of persons of the most limit ed fortunes, whilst on account of the peculiar brauty it will gain itself admission into the libraries of the rich, and there prove to be one of the choicest orna ments.

The Tragedy of Hamlet is now in press. The first part will be issued in Marrji. 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 ait 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 sc. ne, 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, architecture 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, <tc., and to accompany them with a beau lifully 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 Shakspcare spake, Could not content himself with a mere republication or compilation. He has therefore prevailed upon R. W. Weir, whose reputation as an aTtist is already identified with his country’s history, to contribute a series of original designs, together with such advice and assistance in other details of art as his taste tnay 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 desiroua thaf his edition should have the supervision <*f an Ameq: can editor. 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, une icumbercd by any notes or comments upon the page itself; as however use ful they may be elsewhere, thev are too apt to divert the mind from the power of the Poet’s thought, and to disturb the magic of hU scene. Such notes as may be thought useful for the explanation or criti cism of the tew, will be thrown into an Appendix to each play. The text of Shakspcare’s dramatic works, drawn from old printed copies in his age, which had never passed under the author’sownteye, 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 which most of the English and American editions have been printed, with vari ous degrees of accuracy. But within the fast 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 su stituting en 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, 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. Y T et 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 warm controversy between (he 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 text 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 laborious in vestigation, but, 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 tocxplain 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 Shakspeare, 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 poem-, 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 minds of Europe. Still it is believed that this duty can be satisfactorily performed without swelling the edition to an inconvenient bulk. H. W. HEWET, Publisher, 281, Broadway, New York.

Calhoun “F>ee Trade; Low Duties- No Debt; Separation from Banks; Economy, Retrench ment; and strict adherence to the Constitut.on and will bear aloft his truly Democratic banner. It will a|. so strongly advocate the limitation ol the tenure of the Presidential office tocne term—not only in justice to te distinguished public men of the nation, but as more consonant to the genius of our Republican institutions and more conducive to 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 w-ill zealously urge upon the coun try the claims of the distinguished Southern States man for ihe Presidency.

Believing the present to be a crisis too Important to the interests of the . etnocratic 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 I eters burg Republican. Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of Democ racy the necessity of recurrence for future success to the fundamental principles of Stares’ Rights, and their strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi can wilt neither in itself exhibit laxity of political faith, nor tolerate us indulgence in others, but wiil urtrfevia finely adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen—‘’Free trade; low duties ;no debt; seperation from Banks; economy ; retrenchment; and strict adherence to the Constitution. *1 In 1 successful maintenance’ and permanent estab lishment ot this wise and just system us measures must greatly depend on the judicious selection of the Uemo candidate for the next Presidency, and believing the amplest guarantee of these important ends to be afforded by the eminent abilities and unsttllied faith of JOiiN C. CALHOUN, the Kepoblitaw will advocate his claims to the nomination of the National Conven tion. Thtse claims will be en forced with due respect to the preferences of others, and the cordial support of this press will be given to the Nominee of a Conven tion so assembled as to be general, and so constituted aS m°L g,V n a cleur cx P rt ' fcSll >n to the will of the majority. he Petersburg Republican will, as heretofore, be published three t.nies a ween, at Five Dollars per an num, mways payable in advance.
