CONCENTRATED COMPOUND SYRUP OF
SARSAPARILLA,
the cure of all diseases arising from an
impure stave of the blood.
The great popularity of Sarsaparilla, and its es
tablished efficacy, render it superfluous to enter in
to any encomium of its virtues, or adduce any evi
dence in its favor. It is true, that it has been here
tofore subject lo frequent changes of reputation,
owing to ignorance of the proper mode ol extract
ing its virtues, or lo the inferior quality of the ruol
used. Hence also the inefficacy of many prepara
tions of it offered to the public. The proprietor of
this Syrup can assert with confidence, that it is pre
pared fiom the best materials, with the greatest
pharmaceutical care and accuracy, and in the best
inode to obtain the active principle in the most
concentrated state, answering the desideratum ol
exhibiting a large quantity of Sarsaparilla in a

TO THE PEOPLE.
'1MIK so83i(>ii of Congress, which lias just iciini
*- iiatcd, will bo long mid gratefully icmciiihercd
hvall true republicans for tins triumnhant success
of many of ilieii cherished principles and mea
sures. While wo lieurtilv rejoice at the tiiuuiph
<d the principles which it has been om constant . (
fort to advocate and defend, and from which n >
prosperity, no adversitv, can swerve us; wc can
not be unmindful of tho attitude in which we are
placed by a recent vote of both houses of Congress :
—-wc allude to the contemplated withdrawal of
their pattonage from tho newspaper | ross. To
this dec’ston wc cheerfully bow, sensible as wc are
of the patriotic motives w hich have led to it. But
we tru-.t that this decision of Congress increases
rather than diminished our claim to the support ot
a higher power —that of tht proplr ; nnd to whom
we confidently appeal to aid us, by t/ieii patronage,
in sustaining at the seat of government a journal
tint is inflexibly devoted to their interests and
the true interests of the country.
It is known to every one, that the chief source
of sustaining a newspaper is not the magnitude of
its subscription list, «><> much as the advertising
patronage which may lie bestowed upon it. In
large commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usual
ly the concomitant of tho former, as it becomes
the obvious interest of mercantile men toadvertido
in t lose papers which at e the most extensively cir
culated. Washington, howcvei, is differently situ
.yc' . Deprived of the advertising patronage inci
dent to a mercantile community, and burdened
"*lh peculiar mid enormous expersrs which arc
not elsewhere ineuricd, nothing hut a very long
list or subscribing patrons can sustain a paper in
useful ness if, indeed, even ,ii existence Thu pro
prietors of the “ Union” have hitherto spared no
paint?, and uo expend**, (•» make their paper worthy
of the metropolis, and worthy of tho suppoit of
that great party under whose banner they are en
.iste I. In publishing tho most full and ample de
bates of the two h >uses of Cong mi, it is believe I,
cvct Liu fore attempted on (hi.*? continent in a da ly
newspaper, they have secured the services of the
be,t reporters which the country nff odod, but at
tbe enormous cost of £12,000 or 015.OIK) p, r year.
1 heir extensive foreign and domestic correspon
dence w another large item of expense, but the in
structive usefulness of wldeh is so tiighly com
mended and appreciated as to justify almost any
Outlay to attain it. Nii 1, it ,„Usi ho evident that
t iese heavy expenses cannot he bnrtie, unless the
subscription h^t is roniinensurnle In the uuderta

yet I his list must he still c .nsideriblv enlarged to
eual.lc the pr< prictor* of the •• Union” to sustain
all its usefulness, and to insure them against p.cu
mary loss. Invoking, then, again, the aid and
support ol all true friends of republican govern
ment. and pledging ourselves to renewed efforts n
the cause of I he glorious principles we cherish, we
oiler them tho following proposals:
1 he. “ Daily Union” will |,c published, as here
t to e, at $ III per annum, payable in advance. Its
i• *-U V > Ih pii almost exclusively no

ot (s columns to domes'ie. news of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature, whTch. without ini
pairing* its political influoncp, may ron<l«'r it th*>
more acceptable to an extended class of readers.
1 he •• sum, Weekly Union” will be published
every Yonday and Thursday, during i|„; recess of
Congress, at $5 per annum. This rnntains all the
matter contained in th •• Daily .Union,” exec ,t
lot al advertisements. During tho sessions of Con
gr. ss three number*, instead of two. will be issued,
"e "7 charge to subscribers.
;,u, 'Rf , MKNTOF WEEKLY UNION,
the ‘ Weekly Union” is issued every S.tur
< ay : and nsarrangem. nts are in progress to en
atge it to ue.u double its present size, we shall soon
lx- enabled (0 give nearly every article which nmv
appear in the daily and semi-weekly editions, at
the extremely low rate of $2. We propose also to
cuin (hi* <v!it jU|lf a complete synoptical sum
mary of tire proceedings i„ loth houses of Con
gress—thus ren'ering the “ Weekly Union” a
mod Valuable channel of inform ,tion to all classes
ol our country. But, to remunerate us for this <•„
;er, rise, an extensive subset iption list is absolutely
indispensable. 1
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTf.ti
In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to
publish, during the session* ot the nnlional legis
la lure, a “ Congressional Register,” to be issued
weekly, anil to contain a full retort of the rlaily
proceedings nnd debate* of both houses. Indeed,
the artaiigcincnts whit h we have made with the
very best corps of reporters will enable us to give
even more full and extended reporis than w'e have
produced during this se-s on, superior as we claim

o* ANEW POLITICAL paper, called the
SOUTHKuN STANDARD.
TO B K rUBI.ISHKO AT ItlCHMOltO VIKGI1JJA.
To the Hrpi.blican Party hi Virginia:
Notwithstanding their signal defeat in Ml. the
advocates of curie -titrated power and a strong go
vernment, are determined to make anotlu i and a
\ igortxi* effort for suprt m u v in tiro national eoun- I
eils. Tito press is the great engine ol party iti the
present age, and in Virginia out opponents are
| making powerful use of this formidable weapon.
Aware that the Metropolis is the gnat battle
ground upon which the heat of the light is to lie
su-tainc I, it is to tIt's importint p int tin y are di
recting their moat strenuous exertions. They hat«
railed to the Whig Mr. Richard II. Toler, a gen
tieinnn o' acknowledged abilities ant. great «xpe
riencc ; Mcssr*. Gullahvr & Haiti win have been
placed at the h a.I of the no called Republican ; a,„|
the Compiler Ins been greatlv strengthened by die
acquisition of Mr. W. C Carrington, who to the
.iccomphdmieots ol a ripe sclioltr. adds toe force
j ot a vigorous intellect.
To (his array of torces w e have only to oppose a
single Metropolitan Journal, which, however
great its ability, ought not to he left to cop single
handed with such a host. To come thercloreto
the ai<l of the Enquirer and the Democratic party,
if they will acccr.pl of services so humble, « c, the*
undersigned, have resolved to cstnhlisli another
Democratic paper in the city ol Richmond. To '
this design we have been instigated ehielly bv the
press ng and frequ-nt solicitations of many o*f the
wisest and most iiitiucntial members of the Demo
cratic party, ami to its support we invoke the aid of
our po ideal friends, not inly in Virginia,'but
throughout the Union The press is a town of
strength, and to the maint -nance*tf our political
principles w e shoo hi cli*-cr I u ly con t r ihu te our men -
tal powers and our pecuniary means.
lit this Journal we will endeavor, with what
ability we may, to sustain the principles and doc
trines of the Republican party in flair pristine pu
rity. Utterly repudiating all Agrarianism and
Radicalism, as destructive of the mom valuable so
cial institutions, and worse than Federalism itself,
with which indeed we will not pretend tocompaic
it, wo will advocate a limitc I construction ol the
Constitution of the United States, believing that
the plain and obvious meaning of its context, gi ants
full as much power to the General Government, as
:'t is either wise or politic to bestow upon it.
When men are secure in the enjoyment of per
sonal liberty and the product of their labor, the ac
| live promptings of individual jntcro-t cti-mrc a
1 much better investment of labor and capital, than
can he obtained by any system do vised for the pur
pose of diverting it Iroin it- natural into artificial
channels. tV c shall, thcrctorc, oppose a Tariff
for protection, not only bee tuse it is unconstitu
tional, hut because it is in the highest decree on
wise and impolitic.
Accountability is the grout chock upon human
depravity, and Corporations arc corrupt because
ihcii members arc individually irresponsible; they
are, therefore, to be opposed upon general princi
ples, and only to be tolerated occasionally as ne
cessary cvil3. In tin- Const tut ion of,the United
States, wc find no warrant or authority to establish
anv of the <> excrescences upon the body public •
and in the shape of a Rank, we held dint the pow
er would be peculiarly dangerous and objection
able.
Wc shall always oppose the expenditure or vast
sums upon local objects, ns being not less unwise,
because the fund is always sadly administered,
warning the vigilant evo ol individual inlcicst;
and unjust, because it lays violent hands upon the
acquisitions of the minority, to be expended net fur
general and necessary purposes, but fur local and
individual .inoluiucut.
In short, we r-teeui the Government ol the Uni
ted Stales a c enturc of the Sovereign States of this
Union, instituted for particular purposes, which
cannot be transcended without Hie must imminent
danger of overthrowing that Uni >u, which it was
the boast of our anccstcis to have erected, and
w hi- h it should br our pride, as it is our inter. st, to
preserve
Although these are our own particular views, we
are by no means an b.gutted, or so illiberal, as to
exclude all othcis from our columns. Our politi
< al opponents shall always be welcome, provided
their arguments are presented in an able nnd re
spectful form ; all wc ask, is the opportunity of re
futing them. With rtg/i/ on our side, wc arc pie
pared to cucount r anv comer, i.o mutter what
weapons lie wields ; such is our faith in truth un
bodied, as we believe it to be, in the principles ,.f
the Republican Party.
Although the political will bo the chief, it will
not be the only feature of the paper. To the coun
try paper an Agricu tural department w ill fe add
ed, which it is hoped the experience of one of the
Editors, in that particular line, will enable him to
make pai ticnlarly ncc* ptab:e to the farming com
munity. This department will be handsomely il
lustrated with cute. of agricultural implements,
[ when they can be procured, nnd it is believed it
S w ill constitute a very valuable and popular feature
in the paper; at least, no exertion on our part-hall
he wanting to make it so. Mechanics and Manu
facturers shall also roec ivc their full share of atten
tion ; and wc have engaged the services of one of
the first merchants in this rity to take charge of
the Commercial Department. Able and Host-wot
! Ihy correspondents will also be procured to keep os
| constantly advis. d of the most important new !) in
t the principal cities of the Union.
Nor w ill the claims of polite Literature pass
■ unheeded. We arc not unmindful ol the variety
of tastes for which wc shall have locator in this de
partment ; hut wc hope by a due admixture of po
■ ciry and tomance, of anecdote, humor and fun. to
provide for all, whilst we will endeavor to shock
the sensit ilitics ol none. At least, wc will promise
to our readers a more intellectual banquet than is
nfTotded by the. “ boirding school Miss” order of
literature, which graces, or disgraces rather, so
many of the public journals of America.
We are well aware of ilie risk, the labor, and the
responaibllily of such an undertaking, and wc
have, encountered them all, after calm and actions
deliberation; relying foe success upon our deter
ninadon to labor diligently in the prosecution of
un design, 'flic at.solute dependence of one and
dl of us upon the prosperity of the paper, i* tho
’est guarantee for Hie performance ol this rcsolu
ion.
wiuiirownanimv mr mis ai (limns task, it would
lot hi come us to speak. One of us hn« had .mmc
ivcor six year* experience in the editorial depart
, oenl, an I another ii. by profession ami p,a< tice,

■f an office. Wo huve been nromi.-od the aid of
tome of the ablest pens in the Union, and we start
viih the hope of seeing the SOUTHERN STAND

.(and by the side of the first journals of the dsty._
