OF
“YOUNG HICKORY.”
Union is success.—Dromgoole.
Lr NDER the above title, the undersigned proposes
’ to publish a cheap paper, to aid the Democracy
in their struggle to secure the success of Polk and
Dallas. The paper will he published once a week
for six months, at the low rate of One Dollar. It will
not only contain every thing, but the best of every
thing, criminal arid selected, which the editor can com
mand, to rally and unite our friends in the great con
test for principles in which we are new engaged ; and
to explain, enforce, and, if possible, render those prin
ciples triumphant Our party lias just passed through
one of its trying ordeals. Self denial, concession, and
the spirit of harmony, governed and cotn*olled the
agents appointed to select candidates for the Presiden
cy and Vice Presidency. Individual preferences were
given up, personal atatchments surrendered, lon<*.
chcriMied hopes abandoned, every thing conceded but
principle, in order to secure unanimity and harmony
of action. Patriotic devotion to principles enabled
tin in to sebet men, “ without fear and without re
proach”—talented, honest, capable—faithful to the
Constitution, and faithful to tiie best interests of (he
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 “ Yodno 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 ihe services of (hose who
have heretofore written for the Spectator, but other aid
from some of the noblest spirits and 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
flte glorious cause in which we arc engaged.
At the conclusion ol the senes, we wifi publish an
extra number, containing all the election returns, and
an index to the whole.
We respectfully invoke the aid of o ur friends, and
flic friends of the cause, in giving publicity toour pros
pect ii#. ft nil filial] be happy to furnish copies to those
w ho will give them circulation.
To encourage the formation of clubs, we will send
to one address six copies for five dollars, thirteen co
pies tor n n duiluis, and twenty copies tor fifteen dol
lars.
Payment may be transmitted by mail, postage paid
at our risk. By a rule of the General Post Ofiiee’
postmasters arc permitted lo frank letters, written
themselves, containing money tor subscriptions.
'I he notes of any bank, current where a subscriber
re-:lies, will be received by us at par.
No attention will be paid to any order unless the mo

A NEW VOLUME OF
SHAKSPEARE
m JLMERICIk.
THE CHEAPEST AND MOST SPLENDIDLY
ILLUMINATED AND ILLUSTRATED EDI

EVER PUBLISHED.
EDITED BY THE
HON. GUI. IAN C. VERPLANCK.
T/q *yf IL Ui LL' t s->
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
art.
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
ofthe World’s Poet superior to any that lias 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, w hich pla
ces it within the means of persons of the most limit
ed fortunes, w hilst on account of the 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 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 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 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,lts Reynolds, Fusel!,
S. Newton, &c., and to accompany them with a bcau
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 Shakspearc spake,
Could not content himself with a mere rcpublication
or compilation. He has therefore prevailed upon R.
VV. 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 Ilia taste may
suggest for the illustration and embellishment of
thispuhlication. 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.
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 hi3 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 Shakspcare'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 which 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 Engli.-li idioms, habits, and nu des of
thought, guided by an intense and constantly increa
sing admiration of Shakspcare’s genius, has led to
the strong conviction that very many of the numer
ous though slight deviations from the ancient tot
appearing in 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 cf these emendations have
been rejected by the last and best English editors,
especially Mr. Knicrlit and Mr. Collier, anti 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 recent editors.
Upon these the American editor thinks it due lo
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 mav l.c
supported, the task is no longer that of laborious in
vestigation, hut, as it were, of judicial decision, en
lightened by contending argument.
As many of these variations arc of nearly cqt.al
probability, and as some of them are doubtless the
author’s own alterations at different periods the
more important readings will lie 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 as practica
ble. But any commentary upon Shnkspoare, 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 pocirv, passions, philoso
phy. The only difficulty here arises from the abun
dance, the magnificent variety of the materials con
tributed during the lasl 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

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 fairer of your valuable
1 ills. In the year 1533, I was attacked with that dis
agreeable complaint, the DYSPEPSIA, which so
affected me that I could not take the least particle c f
food, without the most unpleasant and uncomfortable
sensations in my chest, head and bowels. My die-,
was so sore that I could not bear the slightest pro
sure without giving me pain. My health was mo«t
miserable ; many physicians told me they thought
was ill the consumption, and that if I did not give u-v
my business, and change climate I could live hut 'a
short time.
I tried every thing in the shape of medicine, nrd
consulted tlie most skilful physicians, hut found t,
permanent relief. I became discouraged, gloomy |
sad, and sick of life; and, probably, ore this shoo! ll
have been in my grave, had I not'fell in with your|
precious medicine. A friend of mine, whohnri been|
sick of the same complaint, advisee! me to try ve i l
pills ; hut,|having tried most of the medicines withoi J
obtaining any relief, had hut little faith that v. 1
Pills would he of benefit to me: but, at his came J
J donations, I procured a box and commenced takinJ
them. The first box produced little or no effect, anil
I began to despond, for fear that your mcdiciml
would prove like others 1 have taken; but my friend!
argued that ore was not a fair trial, and I purchase.]
a second, and before I had taken the whole box hcl
gau to experience a change : the pain in my che?J
began to he less painful, and my food did not distre]
me as uuclt as formerly. 1 vvenlon taking them utsl
ti I had taken six boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA
was GOSE, and my expectation of an early deatll
vanished, and I felt like a “ new creature.” 1 v J
then, and ant now, a healthy man. Ihavenevil
since been troubled with the DYSPEPSIA. 1
have administered your Piils to the members of nrl
family, and to my friends, and in all cases with goo J
.success. You can publish if it w ill he of any use tJ
