The wide-spread faine of lhc?e splendid peri

praise. As literary organs, they aland far in ad
vance of any works of a similar stamp now pub

marked by a dignity, candor, and forbearance, not
often found in work* of a party charactcr.
They einbracc the views of 'he three great
parties iu England?Whig, Tory, aud Radical.
" Blackwood" a. d the " Loudon Quarterly" are
T< ry, the " Edinburgh Review" V big, and the
"Westminster," Radical. The "North British
Revie v" is of a more Religious cast, aud has for
its editors Sir David Brewster and Dr. Manna, son
in-law of thu l >te Dr. Chalmers, of l-diuburgh. Its
literary article" arc of the lirst order, and it is lib

The prices of the reprints arc less than one
third of those of the foreign copies; and, while
they are equally well got up, they utl'urd all that
advantage to the Jltiuritai> over the EngliJi reader.

The United Stater Reporter
A DAILY JOURNAL
or uovkrkmumt, leuulativic, add uinekal

THE SUBSCRIBER w DOW enabled to an
nounce the completion of his arrangement* for
the establishment of a well organised and independ
ent Journal of News a', the a. at of the General Gov
ernment.
The losding feature* of the United State* Reporter
will he the following :
I. Early intelligence < f lite movement* of the va"
rious Department* ol' the Government, in reference
t'_> domestic all'airj and to the foreign relations of the
country, will bo given wiih scr ipul >u* fidelity. Po?
leasing peculiar facilities for ob'aining information,
the ''Reporter" will lie enabled frequently to com
municate, exclusively, intelligence of the must im
portant character.
II. Tho Verbatim R? ports of the Proceeding* and
D b lies of the United Statei Sena e, which the pro
prietor is hound to furnish daily to that body, in ac
cordance with the terms of the contract made at the
close of lust a ssion ol Congress. The arranguient*
now rnde w.ll at once fully secure to the Senate of
the Un.iod Slates an authentic and complete record
of its d b ites ; and to the people?in a greatly en
larged degree?the benefit of the experience, aagaci
ty, and statesmanship ?'f that body, to which they
have ever looked with so icilcu* and r.spectful re
gard.
III. The Proccrdi g* and Debates in the lloute
ol Representative* w II a'ao be given, with fullness,
impartiality, and promptitude. Each day's record
will he completely made up, mid apjiear in the "Ro
portrr" next morning.
IV. A Synoptical View of the Proceedings and
Debate* of all Sute Legislatures w II lie regularly
given. Members of Cougrem>, and all clssaes of
readers, will ihu* he kept fully and systematically
irfo med of domes ic legislation in all sections of this
United ?"tatrs.
V. Early Inttllgence of all important movements
in the Legislature* of Great fiiiain and France, will
bj communicated hy every bteamcr from Europe,
through reporters in Loudon and Paris, who posses*
peculiar facilities for obtaining information.
VI. 'I'hu General New?uf the Day will be given
in a condensed form, with iudu try and attention.
Such is a briel view of what tho -'United Mates
Reporter" is designed to l e. All ibe plana and ar
rangement a have been well matured, and the hope ia
confidently cherts' ed, that the "Unit d States Re
p rter''will prove itself an energ tic, industrious,
dignified and perfectly independent journal. It will
have no puly views?no political bias. The pro
prietor, l>y i he terms of bis contract with the Senate
of the U.iited States, is bound to the condition that
the p-p r shall c<>n'ain no politico' discussion except
the deli ites." It will be a vehicle of nifos?not the
organ of any set of opinions. The grand aim of
the subscriber u to establish ut tbe seat of Govern
ment a fa thful and prompt r< porter of all aorta of
intelligence?a rcpo iiillt ugtnl, on which the pol
itic an, the busiue** man, the manufacturer, ihe me
chanic, end every one inieres ed in the affairs of
Congress ami the Government, may rely at all timca
wi h implicit confidence.
It is believed that the establishment of euch a re
liable Journal of intelligence, on terms which place
it within tbe reach of the great masses of the peo
ple, at the commencement of what promises to be'a
most intern, ting and eventful period in the history of
Congressional proceedings, will be regarded with fa
vor by all classes of communiiy ; and having thus
slated his cbjects, the aubtcriber respectfully solicits
a liberal and general support fcom the enlightened
public of thu United States.

the librsry of every public institution, politician, and
professional man throughout the country ; and that it
wi!l be regarded by the great mass of the people aa
the very best political text book for their own in
struction and that of their childreu.

iouth Carolina, who have furnished ample te*li-a
nony as to their decidcd excellence, hut also by the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bittors, oi<uot proving injurious by con
tinued use. They contain not a single deleterious
ingredient, and, as seen from tho directions which
accompany esch bottle, may be given with entire
safely to su infant in the month.
With pleasure, and for tho benefit of mankind, I
send you a ceiiilicaie relativo to the Colleton Bit
tors.
In the year 1838, when the cholera was in
Charleston, S. C., 1 was compelled to send a servant
to the oily. On bis return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, so much so
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in a
short time, if medical aid could not be procured. I
immediately lesorted to the Colleton Bitters, by giv
ing 0 wine gla-s full at a dose. In the course of a
very abort nine it acted as an emetic, and throwing
him at tho same time in'.o a profuse perspiration. I
then continued lo give ii in small doses, from tuio to
three tea s|>oon*fnll, which resulted in a happy re
covery. Since then I have been using it conatantly
iu my family, in eases of cholera morbua, cholera
infantum, dinrrbuta and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.

It is with feuliugs of gratitude as well aa pleasure
that 1 take this method of giving my testimony of
the great estimation which I entertain f r your iu
valuable compound. In justice not only to the me
dicine, but fur the IwneAt of othera who may ha suf
fering from the same malady, Dyspepsia, with which
I was for ytars afflicted, I feel it a duty incumbent
on me to suite that I am now restored to perfect
health. When I commenced taking the Colleton
Bitter* it was ss a lust resort. My debility from in
digestion was m groat thai a cure waa looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking it regularly and
pcrseveringly lor some lima, my strength and di
gestive powers were entirely restored. I have never
taken a single does of any other medicine for more
than five years past. I can now eet the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. 1 have
also used Colleton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera infantum, cholera morbua, general debility,
and aa a tonic sfWr fever, with great aaooeea. At a
family medicine I deem it invaluable, and do con
scientiously recommend it.
