TRAvELLER'S REST,
 AND SUMMER RETREAT.

AT THE SIGN OF THE RISING SUN, TUSCALOOSA " HE proprietor of the CIIY-HOIEL
 returns his sincere thanks to his former customers, and solicits continuance of their favors also requests the public, generally, to give his house trial, and although he may have no spirits for sale, he would not be un- derstood thereby to prohibit those favoring him with their patronage from the use thereof, or from keeping their rooms supplied with them honest and obliging servants will al- ways be at hand to execute any commands which the wants or comfort of guests may re- qure. This establishment and servants be- ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently, (unless an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of business, and in its construction one of the most convenient, its advantages are surpassed by no other house in the city. The rooms are large and well ventilated, which render them very pleasant and healthy in summer, and very convenient at all times The un- paralleled health of our city and surrounding country, having for years been so good, that we can with great propriety invite persons who wish to find healthful retreat, to spend the summer with us. We have Mineral Spring, two miles from the city, to which ma ny have resorted during the two last summers, who all speak highly of its benefits to their health. To such this house would be plea sant home, as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accommoda- ton of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The proprietor hopes his ex- ertion to please will render his house plea sant residence to such as favor him with their patronage.
 To this establishment belongs very exten- sive stables, which will always be stored with the best of provender, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, and skilful ostlers, with a convenient tot for droves, 8lc.
 Notwithstanding my expectation to be per manent in the business, owing to the conhne- ment, &c., am disposed to sell out the es- tablshment, but the business being profta ble one, will by no means neglect the vigilant prosecution of it, because am offering to sell, but will rather be more attentive than other wise. This establishment affords also one of the best stands for merchandise in the place, and has very fine finished rooms for that hu- siness, attached to which is very fine watre proof cellar.
 As do not propose selling for the purpose of raising money particularly, will extend the credit to great length of time-the mo ney being we'll secured, and the interest paid annually.
 I also, have several tracts of land, and some lots in this place, which would sell on very extensive credits JOHN MEEK.

TN commencing the publication of the Sou-
 thern Argus the Editors deem it unneces- sary to descant largely on the political course they intend pursuing, or make extraordinary proft ssiols of patriotism and devotion to the public nterest.-It may not, however, be inn proper to add-that reposing due confidence in the present Administration of the General Government-and believing that the stability of our Republican Institutions depends much on its continuance for another constitutional term, we shall undeavor, by all laudable means, to promote the reelection of ANDREW JACKSON to that station he has filled with SC much honor to himself and benefit to the na- tion.
 We look to the extinguishment of the Ma tional Debt, as that favored period when equi- ty suggests the propriety of reduction of our impost duties to a level corresponding with the current expenses of Government, and be- lieve that all constitutional means should be resorted to, by the friends of equal rights tc ensure this desirable end: yet, while we de- preCate the tariff injurious to the South e.., interest, we conceive the doctrine of nulli6- cation as hazardous to the existence of the Union, and feel more inclined to endure, while evils are sufferable, than resort to such mea- sures for relief, as are at all times dangerous and extremely uncertain.
 | We believe it should be the duty of those who profess to be the organs of public senti- ment, to cultivate an amicable spirit of Par liamentaiy disquisition, on such topics as may present themselves to popular discussion. It cannot but be regretted, however, that there are those who make the public good the blow ing-horn of their moral and political creed and, under the garb of hretended "INDEPEN- DENcE," assail, in the most wanton and un- provoked manner, such portion of their fel- low citizens as are incapable of being driven by rancorous abuse, to an abandonment of their respective postions;-we therefore dis claim all connection with such self-created ordeais of vniated taste as neither honorble in their nature, nor justifable in their exer- else.
 TERMS.-The Southern Argus will be printed on a fine sheet, equal in size to the largest papers in the State, with new type, and delivered to subscribers at the rate of S4 per annum in advance, or at the end of the year.
 Any person procuring six subscribers, and becoming responsible for the same, shall have seventh copy gratis.
