PROSPECTUS r
OF A NEW JOURNAL!
THE REPUBLIC.
(CTThis is the tale ot a New Paper, j
which the sußst uihi.ii proposes to publish in the
city of Augusta.
The Republic will advocate with zeal, and main
tain with fidelity, the great aud conservative prin
ciples of the \\ hk; Party. Home Industry
will receive a cordial support, and be ardently sus
tained in opposition to systems calculated to foster
foreign interests at the expense of American.
The Distribution among the States of the
Proceeds ok the Salks of the Public
Lands, will be urged as the state of the
national finances will permit, as a measure of ex
pediency and justice. I lie Sub-Treasury will
be opposed, as a scheme lor keeping and disburs
ing the public funds —less safe and economical
than the agency ot Hanks. Ihe Acquisition of
Foreign i ekritohy will be opposed as unne
cessary for tin- wants of our people, dangerous to
the peace and safety ot the Union. and utterly ad
verse to Southern security. Peace with Mexi
co will be advocated as a measure to be honestly
and honorably consummated at the earliest prac
ticable period.
For the sake of brevity, we will define our course
no farther in reference to N vtional politics and
allairs. Ihe Republic will as ardently sustain
Whig policy and measures in Georgia as it
will those for the Union at large. The views
of the subscriber, in reference to State interests,
have been so often put forth in the columns of the
('hronir/e Jj* Sentinel that it is unnecessary to re
iterate them now. Suffice it to say. that every
effort which the Republic can make to add to the
prosperity of the great commonwealth of
Georg i and the happiness of her peonlc. w ill be
made as a free-will offering of one of her native
sons, Ihein i KKEsrs ui Augi sta will receive
a large share of his attention. Whatever can add
to her population and wealth, and the prosperity
of her people, will be sustained by The Republic
with unwearied devotion.
It is the fervent wish of the subscriber to see
the South and North linked in the bonds of per
petual harmony and friendship. Their differences
will be to Jhe Republic a source of constant
solicitude, and i(s efforts will be warmly directed
to heal their broken affections,and point to a nation
ai. pathway of glory, marked out by our Con
stitution AND THE WISE PRECEPTS OF OUR
POLITICAL FATHKRS.
A great struggle—a period full of danger and
worthy of solemn thought—peers up before us in
the eventful future. W hen all hope of recoucilation
is gone and our political constellation is darkened
by clouds and storms, we shall be content to triumph
or fall witli the South. Her final destinv shall be
our destiny, and our faith and love shall be hers to
the last. i
While the canvass is going on,of the claims
of distinguished Whirs for the first office
within the gift of the people, The Repub
lic WILL SUSTAIN THOSE OF THE GREATEST
St atesm a n o f th k aa e , II F, \R Y CLAV. Age
nus not yet dimmed the lustre of his genius. Time
does not, cannot darken the moral grandeur and
beauty ot' his fame, for that is founded upon unoy
I N(i DEVOTION TO HIS COUNTRY, svud PUBLIC SK.K
VICF.S, WHICH HAVE GIVEN HIM A HOME IN THE
HEARTS OF HIS COUSTKVMEN, AND THE NATION V
LOFTY < HAR AFTER ABROAD. His genius and practi
cal wisdou have n i l mined our councils, and
blessed the Repubi.ic, while even sages have
been fascinated by his eloquence in defence of
the Constitution and in efforts to preserve
the I nion Like a S r vk of Hope, he yet shines in
the West, and patriots still look to his radiant in
tinence to kf.-illi mine the clouded prospects
of the Republic.
This, however, will be no factious support. The
Republic will give its rest energies to effect
the election of Him, whom the Whigs may choose
to lead them to anticipated victory. Besides its
political information, the Republic will furnish the
current news of the d ay,and will he constant
ly enriched with interesting tales, essays, his
torical sketches, and otheri.tTKKATURF.se
I«fIt I ' »I. - «' « I ' ll* j rtliu Uim 1 1.1 1 I, I V \I I [if,, >r
lecteJ with a strict reference to its purity and ex
cellence. It will zealously maintain tlie cause of
education. Particular care will be paid to its
COMMKRCI VI. I'F.PAKTMENT.
The readers ot the f'hronirle Sentinel have
I had. in the editorial columns of that paper for the
I last twenty mouths, specimens of such ability for
i writing as the sijusi ribek possesses; the i.k \ i»i no
; Kin tori At s for that period, with few exceptions,
j having been written by himself. He desires to
I cultivate a cordial good feeling with his iihkth kf\
jok titk. Whig \ni» 1 )kmocratic Press. The
! latter shall find in'l'HK Republic, a frank, manly,
i and honorable opposition.
The Subscriber, in conclusion, asks for a a e.v-
KROUS COfiriDKNTH ailll LIBERAL PATRONAGE;
and PROMISES IN RETURN, CONSTANT AND IN
CREASE!! EXERTIONS TO PROMOTE THE PUBLIC
ENTERTAINMENT JND (i(lOI), AND THE TRIUMPH

I N offering this valuable medicine to the people !
of (leorgia for the relief and cure of many dis- |
eases incident to a Southern climate, 1 do not claim j
; forjit infallibility; neitherjdo I say it will cure all |
diseases. Hut in Chronic Liver Affections and ;
Dyspepsia, lean confidently advise and recom
mend its use, from my personal observation and use
of the article in my own practice. This article is
favorably received wherever it has been used. I
am allowed to refer so Mr. George Heard of Troup.
Mr. John Warren of Columbus, Mr. McKuffce of
Cobh, Mr. Asbury 11 nil of Athens, Mr. W illiam D.
Terrell of Putnam, Key. John E. Dawson of La
grange; to which a great number of names might
he added, who bear their testimony to its value. —
Dr. Henry Branham has used this medicine in his
own case, and has prescribed it to many others,
gives it as his opinion, that it is one of the safest
and most valuable medicines that can lie used in
imperfect digestion, liver complaints, constipation
and irregular state of the bowels. It is useful in
billions complaints, to persons recovering from bil
lions fevers.and in sick or nervous head-ache. To
pregnant women, who are subject to costiveness,
this medicine is well suited. In regulating the state
of the stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion,
it is particularly useful.
I could append a long list of certificates, hut for
hear, prefering to rely on the virtues of the medi
cine to sustain itself. The medicine is a gentle and
certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.

PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE, !
.1 H eekly, to be commenced in Athene?, Ga. } on tee
loth ot May. 1848.
EDITED BY WILLIAM C. RICHARDS.
riIHERK is not,south of the Potomac. a single
J weekly Journal whose sole object is to devel
op and foster literary taste and talent in the South,
and this fact is certainly a sufficient reason tor an
earnest attempt to establish such a journal. 1 lie
tailure of previous efforts cannot be regarded by
the intelligent mind as an argument against such
an attempt. The failures may have been, and
probably were, the result of circumstances no lon
ger existing. The need of such an organ in our
midst is so universally ackonwledged. that not to
attempt to supply the deficiency would indicate a
disregard of the signs of the times scarcely more
surprising than inexcusable.
The progress of the age and the rapid advance
ment ot the S,mtb in commerce, manufactures and
internal improvement, imparatively demand a cor
responding advance in literature. To aid in ibis
great object, it is proposed to establish a weekly
Joarual at the seat of the University of Georgia,
and to rally round it the best writers of the South.
This, it is believed, from many considerations, can
be readily accomplished.
The Editor is already assured of the support n{
his able coadjutors in the Orion magazine, and
also of much other assistance from the most pro
minent writers of the .South. The Gazette will be
made up of matter both original and selected; and
will comprise tales, essays, sketches of travel,
poetry, criticisms, and a general miscellany of in
formalion in all departments of Literature, Art and
Science. Particular attention will be given to
scientific and practical mechanics.
In mechanical execution it shall be surpassed by
no contemporay, and the aid of the fine Sarts shall
not be wanting to enhance its attraction.
The Editor confidently appeals to the friends of
Literature in the South; and he is happy to an
nounce that the enterprise isone of no doubtful
issue. By private effort a large ami generous list
has been obtained, and upwards of One Thousand
Subscribers have pledged their support to the
Paper. Until this was accomplished, the Editor
was unwilling to publish his Prospectus, but it is
now given to the public with the unequivocal as
surance that the Gazette shall be permanent. It
is strongly hoped, therefore, that every friend of
letters in the South toAvhomihis Prospectus may
be sent will feel a special interest in procuring
subscriptions; for it is important that not merely a
bare support be accorded to such a work, but that
it shall be so avcll sustained as to afford to the pub
lisher the means and incentives for increasing its
attractions in every successive volume.
TERMS.
. 7Vic Southern Literary Gazelle shall be pub
lished weekly, on a handsome imperial quarto of
eight pages,printed from new type, on fine
paper. 2. It will furnish to single subscribers at
Two Dollars per annum in advance ; aud to clubs of
six for Ten Dollars.

of this beautiful aud healthy
\ J allow me, a native Georgian, the pleasure to

to he candid, all my Printing is Southern. executed
by Mr. /;. J. Purse, of Savannah; so you will at
once see it is altogether a Southerner, and if it was
my intention to humbug any community, I would
not choose gentlemen’s names that are well! known
and in the same place yvhere 1 reside. I submit
the testimony of residents of this city, among
whom are the first Physicians, and 1 presume you
are acquainted with many of them. The Medi
cine ottered to the world, is a safe, certain and
speedy cure for Fever and Ague, which it wiII do
in the very short space of Twelve Flours. As Flori
da is a newly settledcountry.it i> liable to a great
deal of this troublesome disease, and it xs ill be to
the advantage of every family to keep a supply on
hatftl. Citizens of Florida: it is not my intention
to weary your patience with a string of nonsense
or of advertisements, for 1 cun assure y ou that 1 am
pretty well used up in this part of the work; but I
wish you to try this Medicine and satisfy your
selves. and you will for the first time believe that
; a disease could he cured in J'we/re Hours, and the
| only way to prove it is to try it.
I really do not know why a Southern Medicine
! should not he us good as one that is manufactured
j at the \orfh. My Medicine has effected a perfect
! cure where all others have failed. 1 admit there
are many other remedies, but not one that can be
come so popular, and so certain of curing this com
plaint, as Ifumphreys’ Reined j fur Fere r and Ague.
Only think for a moment. Twelve Hours to he a
healthy man! It is strange, very-strange, that truth
should need so much boasting at last; but such is
; this world. I will not tax yon with any more of
| this, hut willingly I leave the Medicine to recom
mend itself to Florida. And now, to close, / pledge
I my honor the Medicine does not contain any Mercury
or any Mineral Preparation whatever; it in a \ ege
table only.

His master mind was
led. under Providence, to the discovery of \ accin
nation, by which that dreadful scourge the Small
Pox, was robbed ol its terrors. He found that
the matter from the pustules upon the udder ot a
cow contained a principle which would produce
the almost divine lesultsfor which he had so pa
tientlv and anxiously sought. Opposition arose.
Interested persons, high in social rank ami proles
siottal position, ridiculed what they dared not deny!
Thev asserted that many vaccinuated persons be
came covered with hair, and even exhibited horns
and a tail; and that in one case a child ran on all
fours, bellowing like a hull. Hut the current was
soon turned. The British Parliament voted him
£*2O,(XX) sterling, ($100,000.) and the world sang
his praises.
