THIS PAPER will be published daily at o'clock,

may be necessary to defer the publication an
hour or SO longer in order to give the entire sub
stance Of the proceedings Of that body on each
day. which it is our design to do in the best
form that the limits of our columns will admit
The name we have assumed sufficiently indi-
Gates that the character of the paper will be
chiefly political; but it will be, by no MEANS
exclusively SO; on the contrary, we intend to
give the earliest possible information Of what
ever interesting cases may arise in our courts, of
the proceedings Of the city corporation, and such
incidents, as being worthy Of notice, may trans
pire from day to day in our city at large
To those who have kindly extended to us their
confidence in advance, giving us friendly hand
upon the threshold of our undertaking, we here
return our warmest thanks, with the assurance,
that whatever may be the result Of our enter
prise, their disinterested kindness will ever be
retained in grateful remembrance.

SOUTHERN TONIC-This preparation is offered
y to the public with feelings of decacy for in this
age of quackery, the proprietors well assured it
is harrassed by enormous catalogue Of stufs for
the cure Of all malades. The inventors of this val
liable medicine, from long residence at the South,
and from the nature of their vocation, have come
Immediately in contact with all the diseases incident
to that climate, and have been astonished at finding
so great proportion of invalids suffering from fever
and ague. Having witnessed the want Of success in
the practice of the most skful physicians, and the
entire failure of the best prescriptions put up by
themselves, they were induced to try the Southern
Tonic preparation which had long before suggested
itself to them, and were gratifed beyond their most
sanguine hopes by its virtues.
This will be found valuable Alternative, well as
tonic in most Of general debility or weakness,
and in cases of torpid and inactive state OF the di
gestive functions, this medicine will regulate the
bowels give tone to the stomach, and increase the
appetite, and leave the patient in comfortable state
Of health. COSIEh y COAE

Let the lukewarm and timorous take counsel

its loss has left them scattered and discordant !;
