THE WESTERN CONTINENT,
A Southern. Family Newspaper of the largest size,
published every Saturday in the city of Haiti more,
bp Samuel, Smith <s' Co., Edited by IV . L\
Thompson, author of ‘'Major Jones'
Courtship, ” “Chronicles of Pine
■ vilie," 4'c. tyc.
Terms—Two Dollars, in advance.
WF. have long regarded it as a most humiliating re
flection upon the Bout.li, that no professedly nen
tral family journal has yet been sustained vv thin her bor
ders. We have tested the experiment whether such a
paper could not be supported at the immediate South,
and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has
taught us that the papers of this class published m the
large Northern cities, possess advantages over lho.-e of
the country, which, in a measure, d< fy compe ition. Rnt
here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as t does
on the ti oatier of the Southern States, is yet, near enough
to the great commercial, literary and political emporium,
to he intituled in the neighborhood of great American
cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating
point, which art; possessed by either Philadelphia. Boston
or New York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the
facilities for obtaining the latest, literary intelligence, as
well as the current literature of the day, foreign and do
mestic, that are.enjoyed by the journals of The Northern
cities. The Western Continent is as largo, as cheap,
and can be better adapted to the wants and tastes of South
ern readers, than those Northern papers which now draw
so large an amount of their patronage from the Southern
public.
Entertaining these views, we have looked with confi
dence to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s
experience lias tended to strengthen that confidence, and
now we enter upon its publication with a firm conviction
that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation
equal to that of its Northern cotcmporarics, is a faithful
and energetic devotion of onr best abilities to make it a
useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our de
sign to make the Western Continent emphatically a
Southern family paper, that may he read with interest
and profit by every member of a Southern family.—
With this view, we shall draw for our literary depart
ment, from the. best sources,such matter as will interest
and eateitain the mind, without offending the taste or
corrupting the morals of our readers.
Pains will he taken to give the latest intelligence onall
subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exclu
sion ol’thc vast amount of local matter, such as personal
gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms,
which make up so large a portion of the staple of some of
the popular weeklies of the North. In a word, though
we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all,
our chief aim shall be to adapt it. to the wants and tastes
of the people of the South and South-West, upon whom,
and these'of our own city who are disposed to sustain
such a journal, we must mainly depend for support.
r lying more upon the intrinsic merits of our paper,
than on any promises we niiirht make in a prospectus,
we will close by appeqlinc to the readers of the South
and West for a share of that patronage which they so
liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the
North.
Terms—-The Western Continent is printed on a mam
moth sheet of3o by 51 inches, on fair type, and securely
mailed to subscribers, at Two Dollars per annum, in
advance. Three copies will be sent for $5, or Seven
copies for $lO.
All letters on the business of subscriptions to be ad

THE"WASHINGTON UNION.
fIIHE “DAILY UNION” will be published, as here-
JH_ toforc.at $lO per annum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto has been almost exclusively political.
We purpose in future to devote a portion of its columns
to domestic news of general interest, and to miscellane
ous literature, which, without impairing its political in
tlncnce, may'render it the more acceptable to an ex
tended class of readers.
The “SEMI-WEEKLY UNION” will he published
every Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con
gress, at 85 per annum. This .contains all the matter
contained in th e" Daily Union." except local advertise
ments. During the sessions of Congress three numbers,
instead of two, will he issued, wi; bout any extra charge
to subscribers.
ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY UXIO.V.
The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday;
and ns arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to
near double its present size, we shall soon ho enabled to
give nearly every article w hich may appear in the daily
and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely low rate of
$2. We propose also to give, in this edition, a complete
synoptical summary of the proceedings in both houses
of Congress—thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a
most valuable channel of information to all classes of
our country. But, to remunerate us for this enterprise,
ait extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensa
ble.
Wcseize this opportunity to add that some delay has
taken place in putting oar paper to press, which has
prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse
quently cireninsci ibed its circulation. We shall make
arrangements to remedy this defect,and to obviate this
objection. After the present week wetrustthat uocoin
plaint w ill lie made upon this subject.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to pub
lish, during the ses-ions of-the national legislature, a
“ Congressional Register to be issued weekly, and to
contain a full report of the daily proceedings and de
bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which
we have made with the very best corps of reporters will
enable us to give even more full anil extended reports
than w'e have produced during this session, superior as
we claim them to he toany preceding ones. The Regis
ter will be made no from the daily reports in the “Union,”
carefully revised by an experienced editor, and will con
stitute a complete and authentic record of the session.
An appendix will be added, uniform with the Register,
and to be sent gratuitously to subscribers, comprising a
li t of the acts passed during the session, with a synopsis
of their contents, and a reference, when necessary, to pre
vious legislation, 'i his wi 1 form the most complete his
tory of the sessions of Congress,and will be furnished at
the low price ofsEVENTY-FivE cents for the next session.
XT Postmasters are authorized to act as our agents;
and hy sending us five yearly subscribers, with the sub
scription money, for either the Daily, Semi-Weekly , or
Weekly, will be entitled to one copy of the same edition
as they furnish us subscribers for.

COLLETON BITTERS.
FOR DYSPEPTICS.
THESE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
compound, and are offered to the pub
lic from a principle of benevolence, under the full
est conviction that they will be found a safe and
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
triumphantly tested not only by some of the most
respectable families in the Stale, who have furnish
ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
but also by the proprietor, who, for ten years, suf
fered all the gloom incident to that distressing dis
! ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied
i to most other Ritters, of not proving injurious by
j continued use. They contain not a single deleie
| nous ingredient, and', as seen from the directions
1 which accompany each bottle, may be given w ith
; entire safety to an infant in the month
If the Colleton is taken regularly and persever-
I ingly,(which is highly important in stubborn cases.)
they will, soon alter the use of a few bullies, be
found to act 011 the system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans
ing the liver, promoting digestion, increasing the
appetite,strengthening the chest and voice, reliev
ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. The;/
are also most excel lent for cholera morbus, habitual
constipation, sea-sick ness, nausea, proceed i1 ig from
whatever cause. In cases of general debility, it
1 htis proved one of the best remedies, and is there
; fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary
1 gentlemen,stndenls,aijd others of sedentary habits.
I Taken in small doses frequently through the day,
i they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and
likewise been administered with the happiest effect
1 in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Ritters will
he found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
And although it has been tesiilied by several that
they are excellent in many others, yet in none other
than ihose above enumerated, is the proprietor will
ing to vouch for their efficacy. They wereprima
| rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Ritters have been eight years be
fore the public; and in consequence of the increas
ing demand for this valuable meoicine, the proprie
tor has entered largely into the business—bottles
are procured having‘‘Colleton Ritters”moulded in
them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp
ed with an appropriate motto. Price 8 i per bottle.

PATENT MEDICINES.
JAYNE’S AI TEIIATIVE
THUS valuable preparation combines all the
medicinal virtues of those articles, which
long experience lias proved to possess the most safe
| and efficient alterative and deobstruent properties,
| for the cure of Scrofula King s Evil, IV kite Swell
ings Ulcers; Scrofulous, Cancerous and Indolent
Tumours; Mercurial ami Syphilitic Affections ,
Rheumatism. Gout , Scurvey, Neuralgia or Tic
| Douloureux, Cancer, Goitre or lira rich oce/e, [swelled
Neck ,] Enlargements of the Dongs, Joints, Glands
or Ligaments or of the Ovaries, Liver, Spleen, Kid -
Ail the diseases of the Shin, such as
Tetter, Ringworm, Biles, Pimples, Carbuncles sc..
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, Nervous Diseases ,
Drojisieal Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and
diseases originating from a depraved or Imjmre
state of the Blood or other fluids of the body.
The proprietor of this Alterative would most re
spectfully assure tlie public that he has not offered
this preparation to their notice without due reflec
tion. and close and rigid study, nor until after
twelve years* experience had manifested its great
superiority over every other article of the kind,—
and lie now recommends it with confidence, fully
believing that the above combination of medicine
will effectually eradicate from the system a class
of disease some of which have heretofore been con
sidered incurable.
He lias prescribed it in almost every variety of
disease and with unparalleled success, especially
in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous ami
scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from
obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri
ty of the blood.
Cancer am! Cancerons Tumors,
lie has used this preparation in upwards of twen
ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu
mors, and in every case but one with perfect and
entire success.
Ilrcnchocele or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.)
He lias prescribed it in over a hundred cases of
goitre, and it has never failed in a single instance
to completely remove the disease. Not a solitary
case offatlure. All were cured.
The success lie has met with in curing broncho
cele and cancerous affections lias convinced him
that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be
removed with as much certainly as Fever and
Ague. He does not wish to he understood as say
ing that they can be cured ns soon as Fever and
Ague, but with as much certainty; und further, that
lie lias good reason for believing that this prepara
tion will not only t ure these diseases when formed,
but that it desttoys the virus or poisonous principle
lurking in the system, from which that peculiar
class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula emanate.
Scrofula—King's Kvil.
This preparation has been used in numerous cases
of Scrofula, King's Kvil, and scrofulous swellings,
and always with the most deci .ed success.
Skin Diseases.
He has prescribed it in a great variety of cutane
ous affections, and found it successful in Curing salt
rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples,morphew
and jaundiced skin. &c.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint.
It has been used in numerous cases of liver com
plaint and Dyspepsia, and with the happiest effect.
Tic-Douloureuz.
It has been used in several cases of Neuralgia,
and in every case it was successful.
Rheumatism.
This preparation has been prescribed in a great
many cases of chronic rheurmusm, and in every
casein which it was used until the system became
affected by the nu dicine, the disease was removed,
(•out.
A number of cases of gout have been cured by
this preparation. In one of these cases, the man
had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen
years as to entirely disable him from business, and
for five months immediately previous to bis taking
the Alterative he had been confined to his room;
but before he had finished the third bottle, he was
enabled to walkabout the streets and soon after re
turned to his busiite. s, from which lie had so long
beta excluded by bis afflictions.
Dropsical dwellings*
This medicine increases the powers of digestion,
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by
w’hich watery or Calcareous depositions, and all
unnatural enlargements are reduced. It imparts
tone and vitality to the whole system, removing
sick and morbid headaches,giddiness, wandering
pains and nervous affections.
In fact, in every case where the medicine lias
been taken for some time, no matter for w li t pur
pose, the general health of the patient has always
been improved by it.
In conclusion, the proprietor w ould say that some
of the most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can
cer. bronchocele, and scrofula, have been cured by
this medicine, that have ever been recorded; but
want of room in ibis sheet precludes their publica
tion at this lime.
CANCER.
An interesting case cured by Jayne's Alterative.
In tbe spring of 1831, a cancerous tumor appear
ed in the right breast of >Jrs. Phoebe, wife of Peter
Stretch, of Salem, N..). It w r as examined by many
Physicians, and was considered by all as cancerous,
and besides liore ad the characteristic marks of
one. All provable means of removing it were used
without tlie slightest benefit. It continued to in
crease both in size and painfnlness. until all hope
of saving her life, but by a painful operation, was
abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent
Physicians, was performed. Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr.
John Khea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the
proprietor, and tw o other medical gert emeu. The
whole and entire right breast was n meed, and af
ter examination of the tumor, was pionoum-ed by
ail present a cancer of the most maiigi.ant charac
ter. In about three months, after enduring incredi
ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken in
spirit, to gel about again. She remained feeble,
and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in
deed it had been for several years beiore. In the
spring of 1837, upwards of five years after her bieast
had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap
pearance on the right side, immediately over the
part formerly occupied by the nipple -f the right
breast, previous toils removal. This tTanor steadi
ly increased for several months, and became .■><»
painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un
der the right arm were enlarged; and scirrlius, ami
a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap
peared in the left breast. No ojieraiion could now
arrest tlie disease. Indeed her whole body appear
ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was consid
ered hopeless. Nfie was of a very'scrofulous habit,
both her parents having died of Pulmonary con
sumption. Tim experiment was now made with
this Alterative. It was at first given in small
doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu
ally, but steadily increased daily, as long as she
took it. which was about six months, and ibe skin
over and around liie tumour was wet night and
morning with a strong .solution of lodine and Hy
driudate Potash. The tumour continued increas
ing in size fur about six weeks, and was at times
very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto
gether, and the ttmionrswelled out at the base,and
became soft, and then began to diminish, and con
tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige of
disease was removed. The tumour in her left
breast, and those in her right axilla were also dis
persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever
apjieared afterwards;and hergeueral health,which
had hi en so bad for fourteen years as to make life a
burthen, was eficcually and permanently restored.
The proprietor is in possession of the diseased
breast, and those who choose may examine it. He
w ould also say that he could mention over a dozen
cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative
has subdued cancer and cancerous tumours, but he
has not room here to record them.
Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N. J.„
had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind*,
pipe, as large as the half of an orange, which waa
cured by using this Alterative .for about four
months.
Miss R—— S——South Fourth-street, Phila
delphia, was also cored of an enlargement of the
throat, which filled the entire space between tiio
chin and breast-bone, and extended around on
each side of her neck to behind her ears, and from
her ears to her shoulders, and produced awful de
formity. it commenced growing when she was
but five years old. and continued gradually to in
crease until she was nineteen, at which time she
commenced using ibis Alterative, w hich she look
for seven months, w Inch entirely reduced the en
largement; and she lias now as smooth and pretty
a neck as can be found. The proprietor is not at
liberty to give her name in print, but will refer |>er
sons to her.
