‘YOUNG HICKORY.”
i'nion is sitrrrss.—Dromgoole.
TTNDER the above title, the undersigned proposes
U to publish a cheap paper, to aid the Democracy
in their struggle to secure the success of Polk and
Dallas. The paper will be published once a week
for six mouths, at the low rate of One Dollar. It will
not only contain every thing, but the best of every
thing, 1 riginal and selected, which the editor can com
mand, to rally and unite our friends in the great con
test for principles in which we are now engaged ; and
to explain, enforce, and, if possible, render those prin
ciples triumphant Our party has just passed through
one ofits trying ordeals. Self dental, concession, and
the spirit of harmony, governed and controlled the
agents appointed to select candidates for the Presided
cy and Vice Presidency. Individual preferences were
given up, personal atatchtnetus surrendered, long
cherished hopes abandoned, every thing conceded but
principle, 111 order to secure unanimity and harmony
of action. Patriotic devotion to principles enabled
them to select men, “without fear and without re
proach”—talented, honest, capable—faithful to the
Constitution, and faithful to the best interests of tii«
country. The people have every where hailed the
nominations with enthusiastic approval. The Repub
lican party is, at this moment more united and harmo
nious than it has been for many years ; and, in ten
dering “ Young Hickory” to our friends, we assure
them that it shall do soldier’s service in sustaining our
cause, illustrating and enforcing our principles, and in
doing its utmost to insure the election of Polk and
Dallas-
We shall not only have the services of those who
have heretofore written for the Spectaior, but other aid
from some of the noblest spirits arid best intellects of
the country. If God spares us. we mean to make the
paper worthy of the confidence and support of our
party, and worthy of the dignity and importance of
the glorious cause in which we are engaged.
At the conclusion of the series, we will publish an
extra number, containing all the election returns, aud
an index to the whole.
H e respectfully invoke the aid of our friends, and
the friends of the cause, in giving publicity toour pros
pectus. and shall be happy to furnish copies to those
who will give them circulation.
To encourage the formation of clubs, we will send
to one address six copies for five dollars, thirteen co
pies for ten dollars, and twenty copies for fifteen dol
lars.
Payment may be transmitted by mail, postage paid,
at our risk- By a rule of the General Post Office,
postmasters are periniHed to trank letters, written by
themselves, containing money for subscriptions.
The notes of any bank, current where a subscriber
resides, will be received by us at par.
No attention will be paid to any order unless the mo
ney accompanies it-

Will design, select, and arrange the illustrations, of
which there will be about 1400, executed on wood,
in the very best style of the modern school of that

In submitting the Prospectus of the 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 to any 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 12 1-2 cents, which pla
ces it within the means of persons ofthe most limit
ed fortunes, whilst on account ofthe 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 surcofit dy taking the parts 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 ot the art of wood engraving,
which, by combining great excellence of execution,
with economy of price, has given an unprecedented
ditlusion to the most useful as well as the most ex
quisite productions ofthe arts of design.
The designs of Kenny Meadows for the illustra
tions of Tyas’ edition of Shakspeare, expresses the
character of the several personages, and the spirit o
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, 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, &c., 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, butte all
who speak the tongue
That Shakspeare spake,
Could not content himself with a mere republication
or compilation. He has therefore prevailed upon R.
4V. Weir, whose reputation as an artist 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 may
suggest for the illustration and embellishment of
tbispublication. 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 has been undertaken by GU
LIAN O. VERPLANCK.
Tbe 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 tbe page itself; as however use
fiilTney 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 hi3 scene. Such notes ns
may be thought useful for the explanation or criti
cise.* of tbe text, will be thrown into an Appendix to
each play.
The text of Shakspeare’* dramatic works, drawn
from old printed copies in his age, which had never
passed under the author’s ow-n 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 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 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 le-rf to
the strong conviction that very many of the numer
ous though slight deviations from die aneienl ic> t
appearingin modern editions, are useless or errone
ous interpolations, sometimes weakening the sense
and often substituting 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, 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. Vet 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 forsome diversity of text and watm
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 text of any une mod
ern edition. As the industry and learning of prior
editors have furnished tbe 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 r 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 I
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 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
tbe interpretation of bis language, but upon his
thoughts, his character, liis poctrv, 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.

rpHE nerves of the human body—those necessary
A and mysterious agents which immediately con
nec- man with external nature-arc singularly nrone
to have their functions disordered by an oppreeid con
dttion ofthe stomach; the minute lerminaiion of that
portion of the nerves expanded upon the organs nf
digestion conveying the morbid impression to the Brain
And although the Head can. undoubtedly, like other
organs, be the seat of pnmar) risorder.yet, in the great
majority of cases, the uneasy sensations there exneri
eneed are symptomatic of disordered Stomach ; ,'md
lurtner there is abundant evidence to prove that erudi’
ties in the Stomach and Bowels can, in every "rade of
huinhn existence give rise to spasmodic action ni every
organ of the body ; and whether we survey it in the
agonising form ofTic Dolereaux—the alarming con
vulsions of the Epileptic seizure—or in that irritable
condition ot the nerves ofthe heart occasioning nervous
palpitation—they can all frequently be traced to the
source above mentioned, and he cured byntildevacu

suffering and distresstpn which body and mind also
participate} BRANDRETH PILLS are eonfi
dently recommended; as, by combining aromatic tonic
and cleansing properties, they remove all oppressive
accumulations, strengthen the Stomach, induce a
healthy appetite, and impart tranquility to the nervous
system ; and in fact, by their seneral purifying power
upon the blood, exert a niosl beneficial influence in all

DYSPEPSIA CURED
BENNINGTON, Vt. Dec. stli, 1343.
Dear Sir :—t wish you to add my testimony to the
host of others that you have, in favet of your valuable
Pills. In tbe year 1539, I was attacked with that dis*
agreeable complaint, tbe DYSPEPSIA, which so
affected me that I could not take the least particle nf
food, without tbe 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
was in the consumption, and that if! did not eivc tip
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 physnians, but fonml 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, whohad been
sick of the same complaint, advised me to try your
pills ; but,(having tried most of the medicines without
obtaining any relief, bad but little faith that your
Pi!!s would be of benefit to tne ; but, at his 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 chat yottr medicine
would prove like others I have taken; but my friends
argued that one was not a fair trial, and I purchased
a second, and before I bad taken the whole box be
gan to experience a change: the pain in my rhest
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 nty 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. I have never
since been'troubled with the DYSPEPSIA. I
have administered your Pills to tbe 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. lam, dear Sir, trulvyours,
