PROSPECTUS OF A NEW PAPER,
T6SnE ENTrrLEu
I he DOCTOR.
sIITo those who read e

y \
commence the publication in the City Of
Rodney, of IN entirely new paper, never
before exhibited in this or any other coun-
try, to be entitled "THE DOCTOR"
The object of the proposed publication, will
be manifest, so soon as the first number APP
pears; but as the public are entitled to peep
behind the curtain in advance of the play,
will state for their qualification, that, in the
most literal sense Of the term, it will be what
its name implies; and flatter myself, from
the long experience, and unparalleled sue
cess which has uniformly attended my prac-
tee, that in all chronic disorders, diseases of
the head or heart, in the incipient stages
or where the patient has been despaired Of
by his family physician,-our /" DocToR"
will warrant iif prescription and medicine
can effect cure) complete restoration toI
health.
As it is customary for candidates for all
important stations to give An expose of their
principles, in order that the public may Judge
Of their relative merits, we feelno disposition
to be singular on such an occasion as the
present, which is destined to be the most
eventful ola long life, devoted almost exclu-
sively to the benefit of the human family,
without deriving to ourselves any other re-
ward, than that of an approving conscience;
and where can you find another Of the same
profession, who can make the same boast?
We feel constrained ther efore, to state salts
factorily, that in Politics we shall take no
particular interest, but viii reserve the pri-
vilege of saying what VIC please on both
sides, and if not fully satisfied with either,
shall create party of our own. and christen
the bantling by the same ominous soubri-
quet, which our paper bears.
"THE DoCroR'' will enter infinitely into
the description and history Of every fight &C.
curing in thiscounty, whether the parties he
men, dogs, or other quarrelsome and pugna-
cious animals,-togetler with the sprees and
parties, champagne frolics, or other amuse-
tune resort for the purpose of"killing time"
NOT forgetting to enumerate the host OF
advantages, resulting to the participants,
from resorting to this very innocent and
healthful mode of spending the day, and
rendering nights pleasant and agreeable.
"TuE DocroR'' will furnish synopsis Of
the late intelligence from The four quarters
of the Globe, also from that fifth quarter,
originally left out in the enumeration, and in
which is situate, being, and lying, that fer
tile, healthy and beautiful region Of country,
to which the British nation has for many
years last past, in the pleEitude Of its wis.,
dom, sent out large cargoes of the most in
dustrious and enterprising of her intelligent
population, and which is known TO Geogra-
phists, as Botany Bay. We have highly
respectable correspondent, residing at the
principal city Of that young and flourishing
Colony, who has kindly volunteered his SER

Invaluable scientific and literary attainments
to render OUR paper the very best Of its kind
now published, or which. through envy OF
cupidity, may hereafter be established, either
in the United States or on the Continent Of
Europe. Our correspondent is extensively
