,TEEE YEOMAN.

NDER this title, the undersigned propo-
SEES to publish Il WEEKLY JOURNAL until
the close of the Presidential Election, on a
plan and at price which will place twith-
In the reach Of large portion of the COM
munlty who do not now take newspaper.
The design oil the publication is TO pre-
sent iacts and arguments bearing upon the
prominent questions at issue between the two
great parties of the country, and to embody
these In concise, simple, yet comprehensive
form. In the preparation of matter for this
journal, the publisher expects to be aided by
the best talents in the State; and it is his
purpose to appeal to the reason and calm
Judgmen TOT men, and not to their passions
believing that majority of the people arc
essentially honest in their intentions, and that
they only err when misled by false iniorma-
| ton, 1t will be a main feature in the Woman
to spread before them such papers as can be
sustained by indisputabIe proof-by extracts
from the documentary history of the country
and by facts which carry upon their face the
| evidences of truth.
| The Wing party ofVirginia now have eve
| ry Just motive for union, energy and zeal in
the struggle before them; and the glorious
example of New York will stimulate them
to honorable and unceasing efforts in cause
which they believe to be identified with the
dearest interests of the country.
| TERMS.
| The Woman will be issued weekly, on
sheet of suitable size, at the extraordinary
low price of One Dollar and Twenty-Five cents
for nine months; but to justify this cheap
rate, not less than 5000 copies must be issued.
This will reqnire only from fifty TO one hun
dred Dollars from each county in the State-a
sum which the Committees of Vigilance will
| find but little difficulty in raising.
ILL II
persons paying for from 90 to 100 copies IN
ADVANCE, will be furnished at One Dollar rer
copy.
| The attention of the County Committees
is respectfully invited to the subject, as i'm
mediate action is necessary.

TsSHESE Pills are no longer among those
L. of doubtful utility. They have passed a.
way from the hundreds that are daily launch
ed upon the tide of experiment, and now stand
before the public as high in reputation, and
as extensively employed in all parts of the u
nited States, the Canadas, Texas, Mexico.
and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffer-
ing man. They have been introduced wher-
ever it was found possible to carry them and
there are but few towns that do not contain
some remarkable evidences of their good eff
fects. The certificates that have been pre-
senteG to the proprietor exceed twenty thou
sand! upwards Of five hundred Of which are
from regular practising physicians, who are
the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this med
icine been the subject of editorial comment.
In various newspapers and journals; and il
may with truth be asserted, that no medicine
OF the kind has ever received testimonials Of
greater value than are attached to this.
They are In general use as family medi-
cine, and there are thousands Of families who
declare they are never satisfied unless they
have supply always on hand.
They have no rival in curing and prevent
ing Bilious Fevers, Fever and Ague, byspep-
STA, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaun-
dice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlarge
ment of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female

IN their operation, producing neither nausea,
