SDUTHERN LITER A,T/ MESSENGER.
is a moutlily nlag.i/.itie, devoted
a. chiefly to Literature, but occasion
ally finding room al-o for articles tha- fall
within the scope ol Science; and not )>ro
fessing an entire disdain of tasteful selections,
though its matter has been, as it will con
tinue to be, in tha main, original.
I‘artif Politics, and controversial Tiieol
ogy, as fir as possible, are jealously exclu
ded. They are sometimes so blended with
discussions in literature or in moral sci
ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain
admittance for the sake of the more valu
able matter to which they adhere: bu'
v. henever that happens they are incidental,
■ •illy, not primary. They are dross, tolera
ted only because it cannot well- be severed
from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor
porated.
Reviews and Critical Notices, oceu
py their due space “n the work : audit is the
Editor’s aim that they should have a three
fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed
form, such valuable truths or interesting in
cidents as are embodied in the works re
viewed, —to direct the readers attention to
books that deserve to he read—and to warp
him against wasting time and money upon
that large number, which .merit only to be
burned. In this age of publications that )yy
their variety and multitude, distract and o
verwhelmn every undtscriminating student,
impartial criticism, governed by the views
just mentioned, is one of the most inesti
mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him
who docs wish to discriminate.
, Essays and Tales, having iu view utility
or amusement, or both; Historical sket
ches—and Remi.nisencks of events too min
ute for History, yet elucidating it, and
heightning its interest—may be regarded
as forming the staple of the work. And
of indigenous Poktrv, enough is publish
ed—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical
taste and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to
demand such a work—and not one alone,
but tuanyt The public mind is feverish
and irritated still, from recent political
strifest The soft, assuasive influence of Lit
erature is needed, to allay that fever, and
soothe that irritation. Vice and folly are
rioting abroad :—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in
to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it
over an Immense proportion of our peo
pie:—Every spring should be set in motion,
to arouse the enlightened, and to increase
th?ii- number; so that the great enemy of
popular government may no longer brood,
like a pertentmus cloud, over the destinies
of our country. And to accomplish all
these ends, what more powerful agent can
be employed, than a periodical on the plan
of the Messenger; if that plan be but car-
ried out in practice ?
The South peculiarly requires such an
agent. Inali the Union, south of Washing
ton, there are but two Literary periodicals!
Northward of that city, there are probably
at least twenty-live nr thirty ! Is this con
trast justified by the wealth, the leisure,
the native talent, or the actual literary taste
of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern ? No: for in wealth,
talents and taste, we may justly claim, at
least, an equality with our brethren »nd a
domestic institution exclusively our own,
beyond all doubt, a fords us, if we choose,
twice the leisure for reading and writing
which they enjoy.
It was from a deep sense of this local want
that the word Southern was engrafted on
this periodical: and not with any design to
nourish loen' prejudices, or to advocate sup
posed local interests. Far from any such
thought, it is the K liter's fervent wish, to
see the North and South hound endearing
ly together, forever, in the silken bands of
mutual kindness and affection. Far from
meditating hostility to the north, he has al
ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to
draw, much of his choicest matter thence;
and happy indeed will he deem himself,
should lus pages, by making each region
know the other better contribute in any es
sentia! degree to dispel the lowering clouds
that now threaten the peace of both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties
of fraternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now been in existence four years—the pre
sent No commencing the fifth volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here ut
tered, is not for the Editor to say; he be
lieves, .however, that it falls not further short
of them, than human weakness usually
makes Practice fill short of Theory.
CONDITIONS.
1. The Southern Literary Messenger is
published in monthly numbers, of 64 large
superroyal octavo pages each, on the best of
paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year—
payable in advance.
2. Or five nao subscribers, by sending
theii names ami S2O at one time to the edi
tor, will receive their copies for one year,

3. The risk of loss of payments for sub

niitted to the mail, or to the hands of a posi
master, is assumed by the editor
4. If a subscription is not directed to be
discontinued before the first number of the
next volume has been published, it will be
taken as a continuance for another year.

ginning of the volume, and will not be ta
ken for less than a year’s publication.
5. The mutual obligations of the publish
er and subscriber, for the year, are fully in
curred as soon as the first number of the
volume is issued : and after that time, no
discontinuance of a subscription will be
permitted. Nor will a subscription be dis
continued for any earlier notice, while anv
thing thereon remains due, unless at. the
notion of the Editor.

2KU i\ rO\ €!ftS:OA ICLE.
HAVING heard many complaints of tho
want of a Newspaper in this town, (te
becouducted ina geotlemauly-like maimer.)
th -undersigned have been induced by the
earnest solicitations of many friends, to em
bark m ttie undertaking.
In assuming the duties consequent upon
such an enterpnze, we feel deeply conscious
of the responsibility which will devolve up
on us; and knowing, too, the diversity ol
the human mind, we cannot flatter ourseives
that we will be able to please all. bul,
so far as our humble abilities extend, we
will, at all times be found striving to etev te
the standard of truth and correct mo l
principles. It will be our object to
vance the prosperity of the Eastern section
of our State, abounding, as it does, in so
many natural advantages, and. as a necessa
ry consequence especially to promote the
interest of our own town. Our aim will be
to render our paper useful and valuable lo
all classes of the community—in short Lit
erature, Useful Information, Agriculture.
Foreign and Domestic Intelligence, will each
receive a due portion of our attention.
In tegard to Politics, we deem it neces
sary to say, that we si 1 ill give the getter ,1
Political intelligence of ihe wuole country,
while, at the same time, as conductors of a
F ree Press, we will fearlessly, and without
favor ur affection, advocate and support ad
such measures us .nil, in our opi non, pro
mote our general prosperity a? a people, and
the perpetuity of Our rights and liberties.
Oiir pipe" will be purely 11ei'ui;l', , n, as
practised by those great Apostles of Liberty,
JEFFERSON and .MADlSON—prefering
them as our guide, rather than the new
light, sklf-stiled Democratic Republi
cans of the pteseut day. We are “strict
constructionists” of the Federal Compact,
and shall, therefore, oppose all schemes oi
Internal Improvement, except by tiie States
themselves, as a part of that “American
System” which has proved so ruinous to the
South, and which was attempted to be fas
tened upon ns, tinder that most plausible
and specious pretext, the “GENERAL
WELFARE.” Believing, as we do, that
it is the duty of every good citizen to cher
ish with jealous care the “Union op the
States, and the Sovereignty of the
States.” and as this cannot be done withou
a strict adherence to the Constitution itself,
we shall not be sparing in our denunciations
of the attempts which are and have bee.
made by the late as well as the present Ad
ministration. to control, not only tne in
ied facilities of the Government, but ol to*
entirecquntry. With regard to the que
tion whiefci is now agitating the couutry rela
tive lo the Currency, we now, unhesitating
ly declare our hostility to tlte thrice-re,e •*-
ed Sub-Treasury System, tending as it doe,
in our opinion, to an increase of Execu'i®**
power, which has already been claimed and
exercised to an alarming extent, in more »»
stances than one, if not by tho present ir,
e,unbent, by his immediate predecessor, in
whose “footsteps’ ne is endeavoring to tread.
We expect to encounter many perils, ma
ny adverse winds; yet aided by the strong
breath of public favor and support, the trade
winds of our world must waft 11s clear of our
troubles—we dare raise our anchor, unfurl
our sheets, and venture holdiy upon our new
snd untried course. What shoals and quick
aands, what rocks and hidden perils await us
“alas, we know not!” L*t us but clear the
harbor and get fairly “under way,” ih**u we
will fear nothing. Nor is this the vain boast
made when danger is yet in the distance.
It is our firm determination, made after sp
rious thought, and weighing well the diffi-
we are to meet with.
The Chronicle will be issued as early as
the necessary materials can be obtained
from New York, which will be in Decem
ber or early in January next. It will be
printed on a large imperial sheet, contain
ing twenty-four columns, with entire new
type, and will not be surpassed in beauty by
any paper in the Southern country.

WHO WANTS BETTER EVI-,
DENCE?—I would refer the read
ing public to the numerous voluntary letters
published recently in this paper and in the
Good Samaritan relative to the happy and
beneficial effects of the administration of
MOFFIT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHE
NIX BITTERS.
Those who have perused the letters above
referred to Will observe that in almost every
case they attest the fact, that no inconven
ience ol any sort attends the taking of these
medicines, in ordinary cases, but that the
patient, without feeling their operation, is
universally left in a stronger and bettar state
•>f health than was experienced previous to
being afflicted with disease, and in all cases
nf acute suffering, great relief is obtained
ill a few hours, and a cure is generally ef
fected iu two or three days.
In cases of FEVER of every description,
and all bilious alfections, it is unnecessary
tor me to say aught, as I believe the LIFE
ME DIGIN ES are now universally admitted
to be the most speedy and efletual cure ex
tant in all diseases of that class.
The LIFE MEDICINES arc also a
most excellent telief in affections of the Li
ver and Bowels, as has been proved in hun
dreds of cases where patients have came
forward and requosted their experience iu
taking them might be published for the ben
efit of others. In their operation in such
cases, they restore the tone of the Stomach,
st'eagtheu th? dige-tive organs, and invigo
rate tlte general functions ol tiie whole body
and thu.- become to both sexes (for they are
perfectly adapted to each) an invaluable
means of peventing disease and restoring
health.
In affections of the head, whether ac
companied with pain and giddiness, or mar
ked by tiie grievous calamity of impaired
mental energy; in palpitations of the heart,
flatulence, loss of appetite, and strength,
and he multiplied symtoms of disordered di
gestion, THE LIFE MEDICINES will
be found to possess the most salutary effica
cy.
Constitutions relaxed, v.vak, or decayed,
in men or women, are under the immediate
influence of THE LIFE MEDICINES.—
Old coughs, asthmas, and consumptive ha
bits are soon relieved and speedily cured.—
Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs will
ere long meet the happiest change; tiie
chill watery fluid will become rich and bal
samic, and ihe limbs covered w ith flesh, firm
and healthy.
Nervous disorders of every kind, and from
whatever cause arising, fly before tiiw el
f ets of THE LIFE MEDICINES, and
all that train ol sinkings, anxieties, and tre
inours wh ch so dreadfully atl'i et the weak,
the sedentary, and the delicate, will in a
short time be succeeded by cheerfulness,
and every presage of health
For weakness, deficiency of natural
strength, and relaxation ofthe vessels, by
too frequent iodu'gence ofthe passions, this
medicine is a sale, certain, and invaluable
remedy.
Those who have long resided in hot cli
mates, and are languid and relaxed 111 their
whole system, may take THE LIFE ME
DICINES with the happiest efl»*c:s; and
persons removing to the Southern States or
West Indies can not store a more iiuportaot
article of health and life.
The following cases are among the most
recent cutes eiiected, and gratefully ac
knowledged by the persons benefited :
Case of Jacob C. Hunt,-New Windsor,
Orange comity, N Y—A dreadful tumor
destroyed tieurlythe whole of his face, nose
auri jaw. Experienced quick relief from the
use of the Life Medicines, and in less than
three mouths was entirely cured. (Case
reported, with a wood engraving in anew
pamphlet now in press.)
Case ofThosinas Pursell, sen’r 84 years
of age—was afflicted 18 years with a sw. fl
ing in hi* legs—was ent rely cured by tak
ing42 pills in three weeks.
Cese of John Daulton, Aberdeen, Ohio;
rheumatism five years-t-is entirely cured—-
has used the LIFE MEDICINES lor
worms in children and found them a sove
reign remedy.
Case of Lewis Austin, periodica! sick
headache, always relieved by a small dose,
now entirely free from it.
Case of Alton Ames ; cured of a mest in
veterate and obstinate dyspepsia, and gener
al debility.
Case of Adah Adams, Windsor, Ohio;
rhnemntism, gravel, liver affections, and gen
eral nervous debility, had been confined se
ven years; was raised from her bed by tak
ing oiie box of pills and a bottle of bitters;
a most extraordinary cure: she is now a
very healthy and robust woman ; attested by
her husoand Sljubel Adams.
Case of Mrs. Badger, wife of Joseph Bad
ger, nearly simeiar to the above, result
the same.
Case of Goodarant, a young unmarried
woman, subject to ill health several years;
a small course ofthe Life Medicines entire
!y restore. l her; is now hale and healthy.
Case of Miss Thomas, daughter of
Eli Thomas; co igh and symtoms ol con
sumption ; cured in four weeks. Her sis
ter cured of a severe attack of iuflaniatory
rheumatism in one week!
Case of S. Colvin ; cured of a severe at
tack ol the scarlet fever iu a few days by
the Life Medicines.
Case of Harriet Twogood, Sftlina, N. Y.
was in av?ry low state of health a year and
a half; did not expect to recover. Miss T.
is now able te walk about and is rapidly re
covering both health an I strength.
Case of Benjamin J. Tucker; severe
case of fever and ague; cured in a very
hort space of time. Direction followed
strictly.
Case of Arnos Davis ; Affection nf the Li
ver; after trying doctor’s remedies in vain
for a long time, was cured by the Life Me
dicines without trouble.
Extraordinary case of Lyman Pratt, who
was afflicted with Phthisic 20 years; effect
ed a perfect cure in 24 hours by the use of
the Life Medicines. .
Thousands 'of persons afflicted in like
manner, have by a judicious use of MOF
FAT’S LIFE PILLS and PIIENIX
RITTERS, been restored to the enjoyment
of all the comforts of life. The Bitters are
pleasant to the taste and smell, gently as
tringe the fibres of the stomach, and »iv«
that proper tensity which a good digestion
requires. As nothing can be better adapted
to help and nourish the constitution, so
there is nothing more generally acknowled
ged to be peculiarly efficacious in a I in
ward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion,
depression ol spjrits, trembling or sbnkingnf
the hands and limbs, obstinate coughs,
shortness of b.-caih, or consumptive habits.
The Life Medicines possess wonderful
efficacy in all nervous disorders weakness,
heaviness an I lowness of spirits dim css ol
sight, confused thoughts, wandering of the
mind, vapour and melancholy, and all kinds
of hysteric complaints are gradually remov
ed by their use. In sickness of the stomach,
flatulences, or obstructions, they are safe
and powerful, and as a purifier of the blood,
they have not their equal in the world.

A ccriificafc from three members of the
dI'.DKA L PROFESSION in Germany,
in Europe.
We, the undersigned, practitioners of me
dicine in Gen i v art* well aware that, l>v
our course, v nay forfeit the friendship of
some o! the -ulty, but not of its benevo
lent member.' vho are uninfluenced by sel
fish motives. Though we shall refrain from
an expressio of our opinion, either of the
soundness c ,/nsonndness of Dr. Goeliekc’s
new dnrtrin. w e are happy to say that wo
deem his Sanative too valuable not to bo
generally known—for what our eyes behold
and our ears hear, vve must believe.
We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis
Offim Goelicke first came before the German
public, as the pretended discoverer of anew
doctrine and anew medicine, we held him in
the highest contempt, believing, and openly
pronouncing him to be abase impostor and
the prince of quacks. But, on hearing so
much said about the Sanative, against it and
for it, we were induced, from motives of cu
riosity merely, to make trial of its reputed
virtues upon a number of our most hopeless
patients; and we now deem it our bounden
duty (even at the expense of our self inter
est) publicly to acknowledge its efficacy in
curing not only consumption, but other fear
ful maladies,-.which we have heretofore be
lieved to be incurable. Our contempt for
the discoverer of this medicine was at once
swallowed up in our utter astonishment at
these unexpected results; and, as amends
for our abuse of him, we do frankly confess
to the world, that we believe him a philan
thropist. who does honor to the profession,
and to our country, which gave him birth.
The recent adoption of Inis medicine into
some of our European hospitals is a suffi
ent guaranty that it performs all its promises,
ft needed not our testimony for wh( rft
is used n is its own best witness.
