| Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure
which for the last twelve months, has crampcd
and trammelled every depart ment of the Me.
chanlca, Agricultural and Commercial com.
munity, the unwearied and interchangeable ener
gles OF American enterprise, are once more
giving eyidenceof higher and fairor prospec!
bcioreus. That quesccnt attribute, which, for
a time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward proclivity TO carelessness and indlI.
ference, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disinthralled
from the fatal influence of too blind credu'
lily in the infallibility of those whom we have
elevated above us, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, hap
py result in the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics!
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and which is
still going on in the opinion of the people, so
Tar as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER.

TO embark In the publication Of. the Liberty

Two years ago, this journal dated its origin,
at period when, in this County. II had many
difficulties to encounter, and tho STRONGEST on.
position 10 contend with. The enduring, and,
as we conceive, orthodox principles, which
have nurtured and sustained the journal through
good and through evil report" had then IN
their infancy, but mere minority which sus.
tanned it, But, the rcsistIess march Of human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought abouta
brighter and fairer dawn; and the philun.
throPlst and the patriot can now look in pro,
speetlve upon the revisit of those purer days
which once pointed to the destiny Of our much
beloved country.
The political creed Of the Advocate will be
the same which it has heretofore advocated
State Rights and Stale Sovereignty, will be
arterial action which shall give lifo and ami
alton to its political character--But, while ex'
crcising tenacity for those principles which
will never yield to caprice, the columns of this
journal will, at all times, be open to liberal
discussion, and offered as ready channel to the
tide of passing events, and an acceptable organ
Of general science and useful knowledge.
We cordially invite tho patronage Of all those
who concur with us in sentiment, aswel as tho
magnanimity Of those who dissent from us in
politics, TO cooperate in sustaining tho press

PROSPECTUS
THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE.

III e WEEKLY PICAYUNE.
In consequence Of the popularity which our
daily paper has gained in all sections of the
country, and the numerous demands we arc
receiving from all quarters for a weekly Jour.
nal, VIC have determined on starting one of that
description, to be entitled the "THE WEEKLY
PIcAYUNE."
ToadoPt the same fgurative style used in our
first prospectus, we have fitted out the "Pico-
pne" for more distant voyages, and freghted
her with all sorts of notions in the shape of
reada6les; and if the same success attends her
which she has met with while coasting nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns.
10 prepare our little craft for the more ex-
tended sea on which she is destined 10 move,
we have put on her many additions and i'm.
provementS. Some other old timbers have
been taken out and replaced by new-she has
a greater measurement (oroand aft, greater
length of beam, and her sheets have been ma
terlaiy enlarged.
Notwithstanding the increased size, the pub
lie may rest assured that the 'Picayune' will bo
enabled to work in shodl mater with the same
facility as heretofore, and form channels Of
communication which it would be folly for tho
dull, heavy vessels at present sailing this port

TO TEaE PUBLIC.

TyHE amount of bodily and mental misery arr
sing from a neglect Of small complaintsis in
calcuIable. and il il therefore of the utmost impor-
lance that a strict attention 10 the least ana most
triliug bodily infirmities should be had Tor disea-
sea of The body invariably affect the mind. M2-
fats Vegetable Life Medicines, in every instance
where they have been thoroughly used, have trtHnl-
phea over disease in almost all its diversified forms
The salutary effects of the Life Medicines have, in
fact, been so universally experienced, that IN the
short space of three years, they have become fully
established as the most easy, safe and perfect mode
of treatment ever offered to the public.
II is unnecessary, here, for MI. Mohat to reca-
pitulate all the reasons which have induced him to
arrive at this conclusion. 1t is sufficient for him
To say, that the disinterested testimony OF his fell
low.citizens who have been induced to use the Life
Medicines will freely be offered to any one who
may feel disposed to call at his Office, 367 Broad
way. He has there on file several thousand let
tiers. voluntarily ~profered by his patients, the re.
| ceipt and perusal (which has given him more plea
sure than all the wealth ofthe East could confer.
The reader may rot perhaps be aware that the
origin of Moifat's Life Medicines was the result OF
a protracted and painful illness oftheir originator,
Mr.. JoHS MoFFAr. When taken i'll, Mr.. Nj. was
a prosperous and hourishing merchant in the lower
part Of the city and having consulted and employ
ed a number OF our most skiful physicians; he, at
ter months ofsutering, was prevailed upon to pur-
chase the recipe of the invaluable vegetable prepa-
ration which he now offers to the public.
The effect of the Life Medicines in his own case
was unparalleled in the history of Medical expert
ence; and he Immediately determined 10 offer to
the world a Medicine to which he not only owed
his life, but his happiness. The uniform success
which has since attended their administration In
every instance where a fair trial has been given
them, has been attested by thousands andincontes-
Ftibly proves their intrinsic merit.
The Life Medicines can be taken with saietyby
persons Of any age; and the feeble, the inirm, the
nervous, and the delicate, are strengthenedb by their
operations, because by their prompt and proper ac-
ton upon the secretions of the system, and their
assimilation with and publication oftheblood, they
clear the SYSTEM ofail bad humors, quietali nervous
irritability, and invariable produce sound health.
Forfull particulars relative TO the various disea-
SEES and modes Of treatmentwith the Life Medicines,
the reader is referred TO the Good Samaritan, pub
hshea grataitOusly by w. b. MoFFAT, 367 Broad

numerous flattering and congratulatory letters re-
ceived the last few months.
