THE WESTERN CONTINENT,
A Southern Family Newspaper of the largest size,
published every Saturday in the city of Baltimore',
by Samuel Smith 4" Go., Kdited by \V, V.
Thompson , author of “Major Jones'
Courtship ,” “ Chronicles of Pine
ville,,, 6fc. tyc.
Terms —Two Dollars, in advance.
WE have long regarded it as a most humiliating re
flection upon Hie South, that no professedly nen
1 tral family journal lias yet been sustained w thin h(;r bor
ders. We have tested the experiment whether such a
paper could not We supported at the immediate South,
and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has
taught us that the papers of this class published in the
large Northern cities, possess advantages over those of
the country, which, in a measure, d fy com pe: if ion. But ;
here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as ;t does !
on the Bonder of the Southern States, is yet near enough
I to the great commercial, literary and political emporium, |
! to be iurhided in the neighborhood of great American |
j cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating I
■ point, which are possessed by either Philadelphia, Boston i
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 North'rn
cities. The Western Continent is as large, as cheap,
and can bo 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 has tended to strengthen thatconfidcnce, and
now wo enter upon its publication with h firm conviction
that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation
equal 10 that of its Northern cotcmporaries, is a faithful
and energetic devotion of our best abilities to make it a
useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our de- j
sign to make the Western Continent emphatically a I
Southern family paper, that may he read with interest j
i and profit by every member of a Southern family.—
j With this view, we shall draw for our literary depart- i
j ment, from the best sources,such matter as will interest }
i and entertain the mind, without offending the taste or
corrupting the morals of our readers,
j Pains will he taken to give the latest intelligence on all ,
subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exclu- j
Sion of the vast amount of local mutter, such as personal |
gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticisms, i
which make up so largea portion ofthe staple of soineof
the popular weeklies ofthe North. In a word, though j
we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, j
our chief aim shall be to adapt it to the wants and tastes j
ofthe people ofthe 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 might make in n prospectus,
we will close by appealing to the readers of the South
and VVcst for h 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 44 inches, nn 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.

THE - WASHINGTON UNION.
“DAILY UNION” will be published, as here
tofore. at $lO per annum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto has been utmost exclusively political.
We purpose in future lo devote a portion of its columns
to domestic news of general interest, and to miscellane
ous literature, which, without impairing its political in
fluence, may render it the more acceptable to an ex
tended class of readers.
The “SEMI-WEEKLY UNION” will be published
every Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con
gress. at $5 per annum. This contains all the matter
contained in the" Daily Union," except local advertise
ments. During the sessions of Congress three numbers,
instead of two, will be issued, wi hout ary extra charge
to subscribers.
ENLARGEMENT OP THE WEEKLY UNIOX.
The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday;
j and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to
• near double its present size, wo shall soon bo enabled to
1 give nearly every article which may appear in the daily
1 and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely low rate of
I $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. Bat, to remunerate us for this enterprise,
an extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensa
ble.
Wo seize this opportunity to add that some delay has
taken place in putting our paper to press, which has
prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse
quently circumscribed its circulation. We shall make
arrangements to remedy this defect, and to obviate this
objection. After the present week we trust that 1110 com
plaint will be made upon this subject.
CONGRESSIONAL REG ISTER.
In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved topub
j lish,during the sessions of the national legislature, a
I "Congressional Register." to be issued weekly, and to
1 contain a full RKFORTof the daily proceedings a fid de
! bates of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which
we have made with the very best corps of reporters will
j enable us to give even morefull and extended reports
1 than we have produced during this session, superior as
, we claim them to bo to any preceding ones. The Regis-
J ter will be madeup from the daily reports in the “Union,”
I carefully revised by an experienced editor.and willcon
i stitute a complete and authentic record of the session,
i An appendix will bn added, uniform with the Register,
1 and to be sent gratuitously to subscribers, comprising a
list of the acts passed during the session, with a synopsis
of their contents, ami a reference, when necessary, to pre
vious legislation. I bis will form the most complete his
tory of the sessions of Congress,and will be furnished at
the low price ofsKVENTY-FivE CENTsfor the next session.
OCT Postmasters are authorized to act as our agents;
and by 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.
ETTlie Congressional Register will be furnished
them on the same terms.

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 j
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
triumphantly tested not only hy some of the most
respectable families in the State, v\ ho 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
to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete
rious ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
which accompany each bottle, may be given with
entire safety lo an infant in the month
If the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
ingly,( which is highly important in stubborn cases,)
they will, soon after the use of a few bottles, be
found to act on the system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans- j
ing the liver, promoting digestion, increasing the
appetite,strengthening the chest and voice, reliev- j
ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They ;
are also rnostexcellenl for cholera morbus, habitual I
constipation,sea-sickness,nausea, proceeding from 1
whatever cause. In cases of general debility, it j
has proved one of the best remedies, and is there- i
fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary !
gentlemen,students,and others of sedentary habits, j
Taken in small doses frequently through the day, ,
they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and ,
likewise been administered with the happiest effect :
in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters will
be found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
And although it has been testified by several that !
they are excellent in many others, yet in none other
than those above enumerated, is the proprietor will- !
ing to vouch for their efficacy. They were prima
rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Bitters have been eight years be
fore the public; and in consequence of the inrreas- i
ing demand for this valuable medicine, the proprie
tor has entered largely into the business — butt Ice
are procured having ‘‘Colleton Bitters” moulded in
them —they are also numbered, sealed and stamp- ;
ed with un appropriate motto. Price § 1 per bottle.

cough, and there were frequently weeks together that I
could not speak above a whisper: and besides, the inhu

hearing was very much impaired. After taking the,Sarsa
parilla a short time my health improved and my throat is
now well. I aul as free from cough and tightness of the j

I wastroubled with a severe ulcer on my ankle, which '

PATENT MEDICINES.
lAYNE’S la/lllßATlYir
THIS valuable preparation combines all the
medicinal virtues of those articles, which
long experience has proved to possess the most safe
ami efficient alterative and deobstruent properties,
for the cure of Scrofula King'* Evil, Whitt Swell*
tugs Viters; Scrofulous, Cancerous and Indolent
Tumours; Mercurial and Syphilitic Affections,
Rheumatism, Goal- Scurvey, A eiirulgia or I'ic*
Douloureux. Cancer, Goitre or tiro nekocde. [swelled
A eck,] Enlargements of the Bones, Joints, Glands
or Ligaments or ofihe Ovaries. Liver, Spleen, Kid*
veys. <Sfc. All the diseases of the Skin, such as
Tetter, Ringworm, B Its. Pimples, Carbuncles
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, Nervous Diseases ,
Dropsical Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and
diseases originating from a depraxed or Impure
state of the Blood or other fluids of the body.
The proprietor of this Alterative would must re
spectfully assure the public thaj he has no! offered
tiiis preparation to their notice without due reflec
tion, and close and rigid study, nor until after
twelve years’ experhnee had manifested its great
superiority over every other article of the kind, —
and he now recommends it w ith 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 has prescribed it in almost every variety of
disease and with unparalleled success, especially
in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous and
scorbutic diseases, end diseases originating from
obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri
ty of the blood.
Cancer and Cancerous Tumors.
He has used this preparation in upwards of twen
ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu
mors, and in every iase but one with perfect and
entire success.
Hronchocelc or Goitre, (Swelled Neck.)
He has 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
cage of fail nre. All were cured.
The success he has met with in curing bronrho
cele and cancerous affections has convinced him
that these dangerous and horrible diseases may bo
removed with as Much certainty as Fever and
Ague. He does not wish to be understood as say
ing that they can be cured as soon as Fever and
Ague, but with as- much certainly; and further, that
he has good reason for believing that this prepara
tion will not only i ire these diseases when formed,
but that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle
lurking in the system, from whir h that peculiar
class of diseases, as well as that of scrofula emanate.
Scrofula—King's Evil.
This preparation has been used in numerous rase#
of Scrofula, King's Evil, and scrofulous swellings,
and always with the most deci ied success.
Skill 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 w ith the happiest effect.
Tic- Donloureuz.
It has been u*«ed 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 rbeuinaism, and in every
casein which it was used until the system became
affected by the medicine, the disease was removed,
(■out.
A number «f 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
I for five months immediately previous to his taking
the Alterative he had been confined to his room;
but before he had finished the third bot’le, he was
I enabled to wallr-t jout the streets and soon after re
! turned to his business, from which he wad so long
been excluded by his afflictions.
Dropsical Swellings,
This medicine increases the powers of digestion,
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by
which watery or calcareous depositions, ami all
unnatural enlargements are reduced, it imparts
tone and vitality to the whole system, re moving
sick and morbid headaches, giddiness, wan enng
pains and nervous affections.
In fact, in every case where the medicine has
. been taken for some time, no matter for wh I pur
pose, the general health of the patient has always
been improved by it.
In conclusion, the proprietor would 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; hut
want of room in tiis sheet precludes their publica
tion at this time.
CANCER.
An interesting case cured by Jayne's Alter aline.
In the spring of 1831, a cancerous tumor appear
ed in the right breast of Mrs. Phuebe, wife of Peter
Stretch, of iSalcM v N. J. Jt was examined by many
Physicians, and v.as considered by all as cancerous,
and besides bore all the characteristic marks of
one. Ail probable means of removing it were used
without the slightest benefit. Jt continued to in
crease both in eize and painfulness, until all hope
of saving tier life, but by a painful operation, was
abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent
Physicians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr.
John Rhea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, lb#
proprietor, and two other medical gentlemen. The
whole and entire right breast was reroo' , and af
ter examination of the tumor, was pronounced by
all present a cancer of the most malignant charac
ter. In about three months, after end tiring incredi
ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken in
spirit, to get about again. Bhe remained feeble,
and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in
deed it had been for several years before, in th»
spring of 1837, upwards of five years after herhieasl
had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap
pearance on the right side, immediately over th©
part formerly occupied by the nipple of the right
breast, previous to its removal. This tumor steadi
ly increased for several months, and became so
painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un
der the right arm were enlarged; and scirrhus, anti
a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap
peared in the left breast. No operation could now
arrest the disease. Indeed her w hole body appear
ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was consid
ered hopeless. Bhe was of a very scrofulous habit,
both her parents having died of Pulmonary con
sumption. The 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, hut steadily increased daily, as long as she
took it, which was about six months, and the skin
over and around the tumour was wet night and
morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy
driodate Potash. The tumour continued increas
ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times
very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto
gether, and the tumour swelled out at the base,and
became soft, and then began to ilimliiisl, and con*
tinned gradually decreasing until every vestige of
disease was removed. The tumour in her left
breast, and tiiose in her right axilla were also dis
persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever
s;ppeared afterwards; and her general health, whirh
had been so bad for fourteen years as to make life a
burthen, was effectually and permanently restored.
The proprietor is in possession of the diseased
breast, and those who choose may examine it. H©
would also say that he could mention over a dozen
cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative
has subdued cancerand cancerous tumours, but ha
has not room hereto record them.
Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge, N.
had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her wind
pipe, as large as the half of an orange, w hich was
cured by using tills Alterative for about four,
months.
Miss R S , South Fourth-street, Phila
delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the
throat, which filled the entire space between fho
chin and breast-bone, and extended around yn
each side of her na*k to behind her ears, and front
her ears to her shoulders, and produced aw r ful de
formity. It commenced growing when she was
but five years old, apd continued gradually to in
crease until she was nineteen, at which time she
commenced using this Alterative, which she took
for seven months, which entirely reduced the en
largement; and she has now as smooth and pretty
a neck as can Tie found. The proprietor is not at
liberty to give her napje in print, but will refer per*
sons to her.
