TO BE ENTITLED
The DOCTOR.
3 80 those who read-Ts

Immediately after the adjournment of the
Jefferson County Circuit Court, (we) shall
commence the publication in the City Of
Rodney, OF an entirely new paper, never
before exhibited in this or any other coIn-
try, to be entitled "THE DOCTOR -
The object OF the proposed publication, will
be manifest, SO soon as the first number an
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 fatter myself, from
the long experience, and unparalleled sue
cess which has uniformly attended nv prac-
tlce, 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 DocroR"
will warrant (if prescription and medicine
can effect cure) a complete restoration to
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 feel no 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 therefore, to state salts
factorily, that in Politics we sha II take no
particular interest, but will reserve the pri-
vilege Of saying what we 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 minutely into
the description and history of every fight &C.
curing in thiscounty, whether the parties be
men, dogs, or other quarreIsome and pugna-
cious animals, -togetller with the sprees and
parties, champagne frolics, or other amuse-
ments to which gentlemen of leisure and for
tune resort for the purpose f"kiIlng 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.
=" The Doctor" 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 plenitude of its wis
dom, sent out large cargoes of the most in
dustrious and enterprising of her intelligent
population, and which is known to Geoera-
phists, as Botany Bay. We have highly
respectable correspondent, residing at the
principal city of that young and fourishinc
Colony, who has kindly volunteered his SER
vices on this occasion, to lend the aid of his
invaluable scientific and literary attainments
to render OUR paper the very best of its kind
now published, or which, through envy or
cupidity, may hereafter be established, either
in the United States or on the Continent of
Europe. Our correspondent is extensively
known to the fashionable world. for his nu-
merous recent discoveries in the Arts and
Sciences, which was the principal cause of
his change Of residence.
A column of each number of s'TuE Doc
TOR" will be devoted to the latest and most
approved fashions, embellished quarterly
with an elegant colored, steel engraving, of
the reigning belle of the city or county and
under this head, we shall give the most in
teresling scandal of the day, and read an
occasional homily upon the most udi:ious,
expeditions and satisfactory mode of trans
hitting unpleasant intelligence from one
neighbor to another-together, with the
necessary qualifications for performing in
skilful and scientific manner, the responsible
office of "News gdtherer."
A list of State Banks shall be furnished,
showing the amount of capital, the sums paid
in as Stock, their liabilities, and assets. if
any, to meet their respective engagements
This difficslt and highly responsible depart
ment, will be under the immediate control
Of the Hon. w. H. Scatterfashion, of Bran
berry Hall, Holmes Hole, who has already
acquired reputation in the Commercial
World, that has Justly excited the admiration
Of all-and entities him the highest seat a.
mong the fnanciers of the day.
We will favor our readers, with Bank
Note Table, prepared weekly for sTHE

ney, and the true value of its representative,
concluding the wholeIby some sage remarks
upon the impolicy Of the Legislature, in
extending fauors to Individuals, and deny
ing them TO incorporated institutions
injustice Of requiring the. Banks to pay their
obligations, while the Merchants, Planters,
and Mechanics, are permitted the odious
privilege of being sued-and then awaiting
