-"TRUTH is STRANGER THAN FICTION"
The attention of the reader is called to the fol
lowing astonishing cure, effected by the use Of
Sands Sarsaparilla:
This is to certify that have colored woman
who has been afflicted for the last five years with
scrofula, and all the remedies used had effect
in arrcsting the progress of the complaint; on the
contrary, she constantly grew worse; and after
expending between $50 and $50 with physicians,
besides using other popular remedies without sue
cess, till the disease had eaten away the cartilage
of her nose, made its appearance on various parts
OF her body, and had finally commenced its ravages
in the roof of her mouth.
In this dreadful situation, with the prospect Of
death staring her in the face, stated her case to
DIR. Disosway, the agent for Sands Sarsaparilla in
Newbern, N. C., by whom was advised to use
that article; and to my surprise, and that Of my
neighbors, to whom her known, after
using four and half bottles she restored TO
perfect Health, and that in the space of three weeks
and was able to work in two weeks from the time
she commenced taking it.
In witness of the truth off this statement ] have
hereunto affixed my name, this 18th day of Sep

CIRCULAR.

EJNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish
Il political Weekly paper in the German lam
guage, in the City Of Washington, in support of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj 1hyior came into power and being desirous to
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Whig party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make IT desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the
of Government.
/. The number of those who use the German Ian
guagc as their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration
2. The name of Democrats being the appeation
OF the liberal or popular party OF Germany, To
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appcllaton in this country
as soon as they are able to exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with De- 'ocratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is TO this
misappellation to the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and relying for their support local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fHll with the defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
T. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
10 overcome preJudices, correct errors and msap
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now in existence, will, IL is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over TO the Whig ranks.
5. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles 20 overcome, but rely
ing upon the power Of truth and tho cooperation
OF the Whig party, on account of the intrinsic
merits OF his enterprise docs not fear 10 be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes if he antici
pStcs a satisfactory result.
