S J SEELY 6t CO. July rt tf SftisreHantDtis. PROSPECTUS OF THE KORTH CAROLINA STATESMAN. THE undersigned propose, on liie irat day ol January uext, at Raleigh, North Carolina, to begin the publication of the North Carolina States aiun, a semi-weekly and weekly paper, devoted to politics, news, and miscellaneous subjects, and respectfully solicit for it a share of the patronage of the democratic party, their friends, and the public. Invited by many leading persons of the State rights republican party to propagate and defend principles which we have always held, and regard as the only basis of prosperity in our foim of gov ernment, and inspired with a sincere desire to serve that party and advance its interests, we pro pose to issue a paper at the seat of the State gov ernment. In the held of editorial enterprise, there is ample room for those who are now holding po sition, as well as for others, who choose to enter into fair competition. The propagation of the principles of our party is a duty at once import ant, and to us peculiarly agreeable. The attrac tions of the editorial profession and its honorable toils, together with a desire to extend its influence, has had much weight in the decision which we have made?a profession at onae dignified and elevated, where the highest intellectual gifts may find full employment, and vthe 'purest patriotism make contribution to the public weal. We are persuaded thut a journal, conducted with fairness and discretion?uninfluenced by selfishness and devoted to principle, may secure sufficient patron age, without interfering with the claims or rights of any now prosecuting the same great work Although mainly devoted to the discussion ol such political questions, us they arise, which affect the welfare of North Carolina, whether relating to the federal or State governments, or such local in terests as may be of importance, it is nevertheless intended to make the Statesman a medium of ge neral intelligence. Accordingly, the state of the markets in tne principal cities, to which our com merce goes, shall be fully and accurately reported; ner will the attention of the conductors be less ad dressed to the subject of internal improvements, as a means indispensable to the development ol the mineral and agricultural resources of tne State. These interests, of primary importance, shall al ways command their fullest attention. To this they propose to add carefully selected and original literary matter. Being strictly conservative, they propose to avail themselves of all the lights of ex perience, in that progress, which promises the ad vancement of the interests of North Carolina. The general objects of the proposed paper being thus clearly indicated, it may not be amiss briefly to state the particular views which are to be sus tained by it as a political journal. 1st. Our purpose being to publish a paper purely de mocratic, according to the straightest requirements of that party, we shall advocate strict party organi zation in its fullest and most comprehensive sense; an organization which originates in the popular will, expressed by the people in their primary as semblies, and which has been so successfully in troduced among the democracy of many of the ether States, by which the rank and file of the party are, in fact, those who indicate its decisions, and, being all brought into action, express their will imperatively; thus, by open and fair dealing, commanding respect and obedience; an organiza tion of the people, and not of intriguers; restoring power to those who, by sufferance, have tolerated its temporary usurpation. 2d. The democratic party shall always find in us advocates of their right to select their standard bearers, and to command acquiescencAi decisions made by conventions fairly elected in their primary meetings. Standing upon the good eld State rights platform of '9a. we shall oppose government corporations created by Congress for the purpose ol internal improvement, the regulation of finance, or any other measure inconsistent with the rights of the States. 3d. Believing that the platform adopted by the late Baltimore convention contains the democratic creed, they expect cordially to sustain the present administration, trusting that the policy adopted by those who compose it will be regulatedby the cardinal doctrines of the American democracy. 4th. They will advocate all such measures of in ternal improvement as promise by judicious prose cution to promote the interests of the people and diffuse the benefits of a system already enjoyed by portions of the State. 5th. The disposition of the public lands being a question of the most absorbing interest, we be lieve it should be at once met and settled. The unjust and unequal legislation of Congress, in re lation to those lauds, and the large and frequent appropriations made to the new States, indicate a final departure from the old and wise policy of ap propriating the proceeds of their sales to the pay ment of the public debt, and the expenses of the government. It has for some time ceased to be either a subject of hope or expectation that there will ever be a return to a policy which had so much to recommend it. Believing that this sys tem of squandering and prodigality is not only to continue but to grow worse, we shall pretest against it, and assert the right of the old States to their equitable share of the lands which remain. The power "to dispose of the public lands being explicitly declared in the Constitution, the exer cise of that power is a question of poliey, both as to the time and the mode." Relieving, as we do. pthai it has become the settled policy of Congress to squander the public lands, we adopt the patri otic language of Mr. Dobbin, and say that "all of Noah Carolina's sons, both whigs and demo crats, should protest, and demand North Caro lina's share of the public domain." 6th. Approving of the sentiments of the inaugu ral of the President, we shall oppose the acquisi tion of Cuba or any other foreign territory, unless such acquisition be in accordance with existing treaties, and entirely consistent with the national honor.

Mar 13?meo<) (m) dh. mor?h'b INVIGORATING CORDIAL, A Phenomenon in Medicine.?Health Ke ?tored aud Life lengthened, by Dr. Mone'i Invigorating Elixir or Cordial. AT first the properties attributed to Professor Morse's Invigorating Elixir or Cordial were deemed fabulous. The public often deceived could not believe the simple and sublime truths an nounced by the discoverer. But facts, undeniable facts, attested by witnesses of the highest class and character, are now triumphing over all doubts. Incredulity u overthrown by a mass of testimony which is perfectly irresistible. The Elixir remedies in all cases the deplorable evils arising from a misuse of the various organs which make up the wouderful machine called man. It restores to full vigor every delicate func tion connected with that mysterious compound agency of matter and mind, necessary to the re production of human life. To persons of feeble muscular frame, or deficient in vital power, it is recommended as the only means of communicat ing that energy which is necessary lo the proper enjoyment of all the natural appetitea, as well as the higher mental attributes. Its beneficial ellects are not confined to either #ex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the over-worn man of business, the victim of nervous depression, the individual suffering from general debility, or from the weakness of a single organ, will all find immediate and perma nent relief from the use of this incomparable reno vator. To those who have a predisposition lo paralysis, it will prove a complete and unfailing safeguard against that terrible malady. There are many, perhaps, who have so trifled with their constitutions, that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even these de spair. The Elixir deals with disease aa it ewts, without reference to causes, and will not only re move the disorder itself, but REBUILD THE BROKEN CONSTITUTION The derangements of the system, leading to nervous diseases, and the forms of nervous dis ease itself, are so numerous that it would require a column to enumerate the maladies for which this preparation ia a specific. A few, however, may be enumerated, viz: neuralgia tic-doloureux, headache, incipient paralysis, hysteria, palpitation of the heart, spinal affections, muscular debility, tremora, flatulence, a pricking sensation in the flesh, numbness, torpidity of the liver, mental de pression, weakness of the will, indisposition to move, faintness after exercise, broken sleep, and terrifying dreama, inability te remain in one place or position, weaking of the procreative organs, sexual incompetency, melancholy, monomania, fluor albus, sinking at the stomach, female irre gularities, a chronic tendency to miscarriage, emaciation, and all complaints growing out of a free indulgence of the passions, and all barrenness that does not proceed from organic causes beyond the reach of medicine. Whenever the organs to be acted upon are free from malformation or strictural diseases, it is *V*r MORSE'S INVIGORATING ELIXIR Will replace weakness with strength, incapacity with efficiency, irregularity with uniform and nat ural activity, and this not only without hazard ot reaction, but with a happy effect on the general organization. Bear in mind that nil maladies, wherever they begin, finish with the nervous sys tem, and that the paralyzatien of the nerves of motion nnd sensation is phytieal death. Bear in mind, also, that, for every kind of nervous diseaae the Elixir Cordial is the only reliable preparation known^uRE OF NERVOUS DISEASES. No language can convey an adequate idea of the immediate and almost miraculous change which it occasions in the diseased, debilitated, and shattered nervous system, whether broken down by excess, weak by nature, or impaired by sick - ness, the unstrung and relaxed organisation is at once braced, revivified, and built up. The mental and physical symptoms of nervous disease vanish together under its influence. Nor is the effect temporary; on the contrary, the rebel is perma nent, for the cordial properties of the medicine reach the constitution itself, and restore it to its normal condition. Well may the preparation be called the MEDICINAL WONDER Of the nineteenth century. It ia, aa the first sci entific man in the world would have admitted, that miracle of medicine heretofore aupposed to have no existence. A STIMULANT THAT ENTAILS NO RE ACTION. Its force ia never expanded, aa is the esse with opium, alcoholic preparations, and all other exci tants. The effect of these is brief, nnd it may well be said ofhim whotnkesthem: "the last state of that man is worse than the firat." But the Elixir is an exhilarant without a single drawback?safe in its operation, perpetual in its happy influence upon the nerves, the mind, and the entire organization, it will also remove depressions, excitement, a tendency to blush, sleeplessness, dislike of society, incapacity for study or business. LOSS OF MEMORY, Confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debility, hyateria, wretched ness, thoughts of self-destructien, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dyspepsia, general proatration, irritability, nervousness, inability to sleep, diseases incident to females, decay of the propagating func tions, hysteria, monomania, vague terrors, palpi tation of the heart, impotency, constipstion, flee., Src., from whatever cause arising it is, if there is any reliance to be placed on human testimony, abaolutely infallible. CAUTION. Dr. Morse's Invigorating Cordial has been coun terfeited by some unprincipled persons. In future all the genuine Cordial will have the proprietors' far simile pasted over the cork of esch bottle, and the following worda blown in the glasa; " Dr. Mortal Invigorating Cordial, ?C. H.
