STATE JOURNAL & FLAG OF THE UNION.
NUMBER 6
PBOSPECTUS
OF THE
Jflag of tljc Union anil Utonfgomcrn CVDocvtiscr.
The undersigned, proprietors of the " Slate
Journal and Flag of (lie Uni-.n,’* publi^l ed at Tus.
caloosa, Ala., and the ** Montgomery Advertiser,”
published at Montgomery, Ala., propose, on, or
about, the 1st January, 1847, to unite these jour
nals, and to publish in the city of Montgomery, a
newspaper to be entitled the “ Flag of the Union
&, Montgomery Advertiser.” The removal of the
State Capital to Montgomery has created, it is
believed, a necessity for the establishment, at that
point, of a democratic journal, which from its
character, and circulation may, in some degree,
be regarded as an exponent of the opinions, and
sentiments, of the democracy of Alabama. The
“Flog of the Union,” os is well known, has for
ten years past, enjoyed the State patronage, and
has, thereby, obtained a position, in the State,
which a new journal could not, for years at
least, acquire. The “Advertiser,” has, also, identi
fied itself closely with the dtMiiocrucy of East and
South Alabama, and enjoys a patronage which is
a sure guarantee of the confidence of the democ.
racy of those sections of the State. The union of
these two journals, therefore, it i9 believed, will
insure permanent success to the undertaking, and
will secure to the democracy a central organ,
whose circulation will embrace every county in
Alabama.
It is scarcely necessary, after this exposition of
the reasons, in part, which have induced the union
of the “Flag &, Advertiser,” to odd any thing in
reference to its political complexion. VVe will say.
however, in brief, that it will be—09 the “ Flag of
the Union,” and the •• Montgomery Advertiser,”
have always been—strict! 1/ and purely democratic.
it will oppose all protection, in the imposition of
duties on imports, which does not necessarily grow
out of a strictly revenue torifF. I11 the imposition
of duties, revenue should be the first object to
be attained ; and if in thus adjusting duties any
class is accidentally benefitted, by an increase in
the profits of their trade, or calling—let them en
joy it in peace; but governmenchas no constitutional
power—no right—to foster one branch of industry
to the injury of another. We hold the whole policy
of discriminating for protection to be wrong. The
principle is of monarchical growth, and may he ex
emplified by the British tythe system. The only
difference between the protective system ami the
tythe system, for the support of the Church of En
gland, is—that the one impels an indirect tax on
the whole people for the benefit of an exclusive class
of capitalists, whilst the other imposes 0 direct tax
on the whole people for the benefit of an exclusive
class of preachers. The evil consequences of
burthening our revenue system with this species of
taxation extends beyond the mere exaction of the
tax taken from the pockets of the people.
This, tho* onerous, is one of its lesser evils—as in
creased industry would tend to correct it. The
system in its broadest extent tends to produce ex
travngant governmental expenditures; to keep alive
the spirit of internal improvements by the gener*
a! government ; to extend the power and the pa^
tronnge of every administration ; to foster the prin^
ciple of dstribution ; and finally to keep alive the
I sectiana! strife which enters into nil our elections,
I nml which tends to weaken the ties of union.
Jt will oppose nil schemes of banking, whether
federal or etnte. The mania for banking by the
general government, lias died away; mid its ablest
advocate has declared the idea, of federal bank
ing. to be “ obsolete." In our own State we have
been freed from a system of banking, the effects of
which there is reason to fear will, for years to come,
bear grievously upon tile people of the State: and
there will not be. hereafter, we infer, any attempt
| made to build up that, or any other system, unless it
he on the part of those who will not learn wisdom
from experience.
It will adhere to the olj landmarks of the dem
ocratic party, on the subject of internal improve
ments by the general government. In the progress
of commerce and trade, individual or State enter
prise can afford menus for improving the nnturnl
channels of trade, not linbe to abuse, or corruption.
There is a spirit abroad in the land, which reaches
over every thing in its way to advance section
al interest; hence it is, that the democratic West
is found to favor the old federal doctrine of internal
improvements by the general government. In this
matter, the security of the South, against unjust
exfictions, requires that no concessions be made.
If any new rule is to prevail, it should be one of
universal consent, and of general equity—squar
ing strictly with the provisions of the constitution,
and well guurded and protected against all Ji*
abilliy to encroachment, or perversion.
It will advocate in the discussion of all ques
tions touching the extension of our territory, and
laws, South-west, over the regions that may he ac.
quried from Mexico, the right of Southern men,
to exercise llirein, nil the rights and immunities of
citizens of the Southern States. The interest of
the South requires that there should he no more
compromises—no more concessions—on the ques.
tion of slavery ; and should the discussion of that
question he forced on the South, as hus been threat,
ened by a candidate for Governor in Massachu
setts— tne “ Flag &. Advertiser” will defend, with
right good will, the justice, the equity, and the
morality of Southern slavery.
Thus much for questions mainly connected with
federal affairs.
In matters of domestic concern, the “ Flag &.
Advertiser” will seek to promote the best interest
of the Stute, nnd to uphold its character for intel
ligence, and good faith. The lime has arrived
when a lage share of public attention must he di
rected to our internal concerns. The affairs of
our hanking institutions, by the meeting of the
general assembly in 1847, will, no doubt, have
been brought as* near a close, as will he practicable
under the present system of management. The
lust payment on the good debt will he due in June,
1847. and nothing will remain but. what he termed,
“ bad and doubtful debts ” It will not he thought
necessary, we infer, to keep on expensive coin,
mission in existence, two years longer, to dispose
of this remnant of our State hanks; nnd the ques
tion must come befotfe the people, ns to the manner
of the final disposition of their afliairs. In this
c< nnection, il will, also, !*e necessary to take w»mo
action in reference to the public debt— which is
accumulating every year—nnd when the assets ..f
the banks are consumed, ns they will be in a br'ef
period, in the payment of interest, and other churg
es, it will accumulate, in round numbers, nt the
rate of $oUO,U0O per annum. The immediate sale
of all the assets of the bonks, ur auction, in the
counties in which they arc due. after all the good
debt has been collected, is the best means, that
occurs to our minds, to get finally clear of these
institutions ; nnd to meet the public del)', we have
no other means than an equitable system of tax
ation.
It is time that the attention of Alabama was nwn*
kened too knowledgeof the internal improvements,
by rail road, which are nddmg incalculable weuhli to
neighboring Stums—and which, in the language of
n distinguished citizen of South Carolina, have giv
en value to “erery pine knot" in the districts in
that Siate in which they nro built. This is a sub.
ject we shall, from lime to time, press upon the nt.
tention of the public, as a means, ultimately, of pro.
viding a fund out of which, in part, our foreign debt
can be paid—without relying wholly, ns we now
do, on the cotton crop of the State. In this con.
ncction, also, we shall advocate a geological survey
of the State—ns one of the best ond cheapest means,
whereby to direct attention both at home and
abroad to the inexhaustible wealth of the State,
which only needs capital, and expeditious commu
nication, to develop if.
It will be our special aim to make the “ Flag cj
Advertiser” u desirable State paper.— Alihough one
of its features will be decidedly political—polfics
shall not so far engross its columns, as to shut out
other subjectsof special importance to the planter,
tin* merchant, and the trader.
Montgomery is the second city in the State in
population and trade; arid its growing wants, as
well as the wants of the people throughout the
State, induces the belief that a newspaper publish*
ed tri-weekly, as it is proposed to publish the “Flag
& Advertiser” will meet with a large share of pub.
lie favor. The mails from our national metropolis
reach Montgomery in 4Jdays—and the publication
of the “Flag & Advertiser,” will he so arranged os
to convey to a large portion of South, West, and
Fast Alabama, all the current news, political and
commercial, at as early o period, os it can be recei
ved in the New York, Washington, and Charles,
toil papers.
TERMS:
The “ Flag &, Advertiser” will he published tri
weekly, ot $5 per annum in ndvanee.or $G at the
end of the year: and weekly (n lurge sheet, con
taining all the matter of the tri-weekly) at $>3 in
advance, or $4 at the end of the subscription year.
Ten dollars forwarded to us, free of postage, will
pay for four copies of the weekly paper lor one
year, which will be sent to the address of such
persons as may be designated.

Small boys are not lobe considered os exclu.
ded. On the contrury, it is desirable to have
them, m order that they may be taught, from
the first, according to the method most approv

The price of tuition is reduced to that of ele
ven dollars a quarter of eleven weeks each, to
be paid at the end of every quarter,at which time
a vacation of two weeks is usually allowed.

Mr. Richard Furman, nn Alumnus of this Uni.
versify, and the principal of an elementary and
classical school in diis vicinity, having requested of
the Faculty of the University, an expression of their
opinion in regard to his qualifications as a teach'
er, the Faculty have no hesitation in saying, that
they regard him as at once able and faithful, nnd as
abundantly deserving the patronage of an intelligen
public.
Mr. Furman has been for six years engaged in
his present employment; and during this time, he
has sent a number of student* to this institution,
who, if not alwuys perfectly prepared for admission,
have, nevertheless, in no case, brought from him
any test'monials which their attainments would not
justify. It is characteristic of him to state, with the
utmost frankness, to'all whom it may concern, what
lie believes to he the progress made by the \ upils
under his charge.
As an able, honest, mid faiihful teacher, the Fac.
ulty of this University, therefore, very willingly say,
that they know no one moie deserving than Mr.
Furman, of the confidence of the public.

ALABAMA INSTITUTION, •
For (lie Frill cal inn of tlic Blind,
AT TUSCALOOSA.
THIS Institution commenced its second ses
sion the second Monday in March, and
the operations of the Inst it lit ion have been very
much embarrassed on account of the absence
of the regtdar agent, and the losses in subscrip
tions, &c. It gives us great pleasure to state
that the friends of the Institution have not for
saken it, but have liberally co-operated with
the Principal in liquidating its debt, and making
preparatory arrangements to commence the
second session. The second session will end
the last of July, allowing the pupils to spend
August and September at their homes. Ten
pupils will bo instructed at present, and it is
believed the school will gradually increase as it
becomes more and more extensively known.
As this Institution is intended to embrace all
the branches tought in academies for seeing
persons, the Principal lias engaged the ner
vices of teachers of experience ond thoroughly
acquainted with all the branches in this In
stitution.
Mr. T. S. NEWELL, a graduate of the
Ohio Institution for the Blind, will act as Pro
fessor of Vocal and Instrumental Music.
Mr. H. CHAPIN, as Ptofessor of the Arts
and Sciences.
Instruction will be given as soon as practi
cable, to a select class by the Principal in
Ancient and Modern History, Literature, &c.
The Teachers just mentioned, devote their
services to the Institution at a very moderate
salary being actuated more by the interest they
feel for tlu blind, than any pecuniary consid
eration.
The following course of study and regulations
have been adopted tor the present session :
The Scholars are required to rise at the
ringing of the bell at half post 5 o’clock in the
Morning ; from (i to 7, instruction in Vocal
Music ; breakfast at 7 ; prayers immediately
after breakfast; from that lime till 8, the girl’s
ore engaged in arranging Ihe rooms; fiorn
quarter past 8 to quarter past 6, Arithmetic;
from half-past 9 to tialf.past 10, English Gram
mar; three quarters past HI to three quarters
past II, reading tTi ■ raised print ; from 12 to I
Geographv and Writing; dine at 1. In the
Afternoon the girls arc engaged in leorniug to
make fancy works : instruction on the(Piano, and
raised print ure attended to till 6 o'clock P. M.,
at which lime the pupils take supper : prayeie
immediately after supper. Pupils areexperted
to attend church, and are taken to whaiever
church they wish to attend in the city. Front
2 to 4, on the sabbath, the pupils will be as
sembled to hear reading of sacred history, or
a lecture from some interesting passage ot
scripture, calculated to direct their thoughts to
a perusal of the bible.
The Principal would here slate that the In
stitution is entirely dependent for support on
individual contributions ; notwithstanding this,
if its patronage should be equato that received
during the last year, there will be no difficulty
in going on ; and ns our agent, whose family
has been ill, is expected soon, he will be re
quested to visit all the counties in the State,
for the purpose of laying the subject before
the citizens generally.
The cost to those who are able to pay will be
$150 per year; and as many indigent blind,
will be received and educated as the funds re
ceived will support, we request the editors of
the ditterent papers who muy read this adver
tisement, to insert it in their columns.
The Principal of this Institution would be
obliged to persons having children or relatives
blind, to write immediately, staling the age,
capacity, circumstances, &c., wishing to re
ceive a situation.

BITTERS.
Health—“ The jjonr man’s riches
— The rich man’s bliss.”
THE Pioprietor of this Medicine, actuated
by a desire to benefit his fellow beings,
offers to the Public the result of an extensive
practice and a thorough investigation of the
laws which govern the human system.
He is well aware of the odium which is at.
lached by Physicians to all remedies, the com
position of which they are not acquainted with,
yet he is not satisfied to withhold this valuable
medicine knowing that it will stand the test of
vxperience, and that those who use it, will not
have occasion to complain that it has not bone
fitted them. He is fully satisfied, that these
Bitters require only to become known, to be
universally appreciated and extensively used.
For it cannot be denied by those who have be
come acquainted with their singular virtues,
lliat they possess a pre-eminence over all others
now in use, for the diseases which they profess
lo cure.
In proof of their extraordinary curative pro
perties, upwards of One Thousand Certif
icates. from the most respectable Citizens in
different sections oftlie Union, might be appen
ded ; but the high reputation which my Vegeia
}le Pills, (known as Spencer's Vegetable
Pills; have acquired, is all sufficient to recom
mend my Bitters to the special notice oftlie
afflicted.
They aro purely Vegetable and may be ta
ken with perfect safely by all ages and sexes
n youthful, adult and declining life.
They Cure Dyspepsia and I-iver Com
plaints by cleansing the slomach and bowels
if every thing injurious to health, regulating
lie various secretions ; and by their manifest
ind sensible action upon the chyle, they purify
ihe blood, invigorate Lhe circulation, strengthen
he digestive organs, and produces healthy ac->
ion, throughout the system ;—Loss of Appe
;ite. Heartburn, Headache, Flatulency, Palpita
tion of the Heart, Restlessness, III Temper,
Languor and Melancholy, which are the usual
symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
will all disappear as a natural consequence ol
its cure.
iney nut umy v-ure jjyspetsia anu liver
Complaint, but they have almost a miraculous
sffect in curing Sick Headache, and all Ner
vous Affections. They are peculiarly adapted
10 remove all these complaints, not bv constant
ly physicing, but by strengthen.ng the system.
No greater mistake can be made than to sup
pose that Dyspepsia, or any other disease ari
sing from debility, can be cured by frequent for
:ed action on the bowels with purgative medi
cines, without having a proper tonic to~accom
[>any them. When these complaints exist, the
rystern is already too weak, and every addition
ildcse tends to make it more so. Spencer's
Vegetable Pills possess tonic and restora
live properties independent of their purgative
effects, and are believed to be the only ptirga.
live Pill in existence that possess these impor
tant properties. Spencer's Bitters also ac
ting as a still more effective tonic and restora
tive, strengthen the digestive organs, and as
sist them to perform their functions as nature
designed. Hence they are found to be effica
cious al-o in those Diseases peculiar to Fe
males, which arise more frequently from weak
ness than any other cause. The aged and in
firm of both sexes, and persons of sedentary
habits prone to costiveness, and those who have
suffered from loss of appetite, have experienced
great benefit from them. In Convalescence
from Fevers, and other acute disorders, thev
restore strength ; and individuals afflicted wit'll
Nervous Headache and other derangements of
the nervous function have been entirely cured
by this medicine
In Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever,
they surpass every thing known in rnming nut
llie last seeds of this worst of maladies. The
Proprietor lias known hundreds of cases, from
six to twelve months standing, who had used
almost every thing they could think of, but
were cured only for a few days at a time, when
the chill would again return, but who have been
entirely cured by using this Medicine, and have
declared it to be the most sovereign and last
ing remedy they evey beard of. In fact the
Proprietor has never known them to fail curing
the very worst cases when used according to
the directions.
By removing the local inflammation from the
niusciesand ligaments of the joints, those Pills
and Bitters have been known to cure li/teuma
(ism, permanently in two weeks.
For Worms, they are superior to any of the
common vermifuge medicines, as they prevent
that cold state of the stomach, and dislodge
from the bowels all the slimy matter to which
these creatures adhere. Also jlsthma, by re
lieving the lungs andnir vessels from the mucus
which even slight colds will occasion, which it
not removed becomes hardened and producef
lhis disagreeable disease. Diarhaa, Uysinte
ry, and Cholic, by removing all those bad bum
are by which these complaints are occasioned,
»nd by their singular action on the secretions os
the mucous membrane. Scrofula, Scurvy, Ut
:era and Inveterate Sores, by the power they
sxert in purifying the blood and all the springs
ind channels of life. Scorbutic Eruptions and
Bad Complexion by their alteralive effect upon
he fluids that feed the skin, the morbid state of
vhich occasions all eruptive complamls ; Sal
bw, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complex -
onti The use of the Pills and Bittoia for a
very short tune, will make an entire cure o.
Erysipelas, Sail Rheum,and a striking improve
ment in the clearness of the skin. The worst
cases of Common Colds and Influenza will most
always yield to one or two doses of the Pills,
And as a remedy for that distressing malady,
the Piles, too much cannot be said in their fa
vor, for by using this medicine in very mode
rate doses, it lias been known to cure the Worst
of cases, and that too, of those who had tried
almost every oilier remedy that could be pre
scribed within the whole compass of the Mate*
rim Mediate.
Female* who value good health, should ners
er be without Spencer's Pills and Bitlere, a
they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and
give the skin a beautiful, clear and healthy ap
pearance.
Elderly Persons make it a rule to taks
them 2 or 3 times a week, by which they re
move the causes that produce disease, preserve
their health, and keep off the infirmities of
oge.
Heads or Families should alwas keep this
Medicine in the house, as a remedy in esses of
sudden illness, for by iheir immediate arimini*.
tration, Cholera Morbus, Diarrhoea, C/iolict
Gout in the Stomach, Cramps, Spasms, Peters,
and other alarming complaints, which ofieu
prnfe fatal, may be speedily cured or proven
ted.
All that is required of those who uso 'tins
Medicine is to use it strictly according to the
directions. It is not by any thing the proprie
tor himself may say in their favor that he hopes
gain credit. It is alone by the result of a
fair trial.

Office, Talladega County, Ala., one of whom
had used twelve boxes of the pills in his own
family.
This isto certify, that we have used Dr. Hull's
Fever and Ague Pills in our families in several
cases of Fever, and Chills and Fever ; and
their administration hns been attended with
complete success. In no case have they failed
to produce the desired effect, when used accor

Pill, and would cheerfully recommend them to
nil persons subject to Fever, and Chilis aud

The accumulation on our books of debh J „

the great difficulty attendant upon their collec
tion—to sav nothing ol the tax thereby imposed
on us, and the losses we are forced to sustain,
by many of our distant debtors neglecting to
send us the amounts they may severally owe_
farces on us the necessity of adopting a mods
of computing the cost of publications to be
made in our columns, which can be easily under
stood, and which will enable our patrons to en
close, with their advertisements, the money to
pay for them. Our new terms will not vary,
materially, from the old ones ; and whei i there
is any change it will be found to be in favor
of the advertiser :—For example, we propose
to make 80 words, or less, one square ; more
than 80, and less than 160 two squares; more
iliun 160, and less than 240 three squares, Sic.
Under the old system the square averages about
75 words.
The price of advertising will not be changed;
the change in the mode of computing the quan

cially with a view to relieve ourself from the
evils of the credit system.
