CONCENTRATED COMPOUND SYRUP OF
1 SARSAPARILLA,
C . ” the cure of all diseases arising from an
• impure state 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 to frequent changes of reputation,
owing to ignorance of the pioper mode of extract
ing iis virtues, or to the inferior quality of the root
used. Hence also the inefficacy of many prepara
tions of it offered to (he public. The proprietor of
this Syrup can assert with confidence, that it is pre
pared from the best materials, with the srreateat
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
small dose. A supply of this Medicine for sale at
the MEDICAL EMPORIUM.

PROSPECTUS
OF A NE^ POLITICAL paper, called the
M)ll I HLRN STANDARD.
TO HE POBI.lSHKI) AT RICHMOND VIRGINIA.
JV the li-publican Party in Ptrgima •
Notwithstanding their sijfa.il defeat in‘44, the
advocate* of concentrated power and * strung go
vermnent, arc determined to make another and a
vigorous effort for suprem o y i„ the national enun
cils. T he press m the great engine of party in 'l.c
present age, and in Virginia our opponents nrc
making-powerful use of this formidable weam-n.
Awaie that the Mctropolia in the great battle
ground upon which the heat of the fight ia to be
sustained, it is to this important point they ate di
recting their most strenuous exertions. They h.n «
called to the Whig Mr. Richard H. Toler, a gen
tleman or acknowledged abilities anu great expe
rience ; Messrs. Guluiher & Kahlwin have been
placed at the head of the to called Republican ; ami
the Compiler has been greatly strengthened by the
acquisition of Mr. W. C. Carrington, who to Ihe
accomplishments of a ripe scholar, adds the force
ol a vigorous intellect.
To this array of hirers we have only to oppose a
single Metropolitan Journal, which, however.
greal its ability, ought not to be left to cop- single
handed with such a host. To ■
.1 ii r .. 0-•-.*'* come therefore to
the aid of the Enquirer ami the Democratic partv,
il they will accccpt of services so humble, we, Hie’
undersigned, have resolved to establish soother
Democratic paper in the city of Richmond. To
this design we have been instigated chiefly bv the
press ng and frequent solicitations of many o'f the
wisest and most influential members of the Den o
cralie party, and to its support we invoke the aid <*f
our po'itical friends, not i nly in Virginia hut
throughout the Union The press is a tower oT
strongth, and to the mainl nance of our political
principles we should cheerfully contribute our men
tal powers and our pecuniary means.
In this Journal We. will endeavor, with what
ability we may, to sustain the principles and doc
trines of the Republican party in their pristine pu
rity- 1 ttcrly repudiating all Agrarianism and
Radicalism, as destructive of the most va lu.-dil.
cini institutions, and worse llum Federalism itself,
with which indeed we will not pretend to cumpniu
it, we will advocate a limited const run ion of the
Constitution of the United States, believing that
the plain and obvious meaning of its context, grants
full as much power to the General Government, as
it is cither wise or politic to bestow upon it.
When men are secure in the enjoyment of per
sotial liberty and the product of their labor, the ac
tive promptings of individual inlerc-t ensure a
much better investment of la!>or ami capital, than
can be obtained by any system devised for (he pur
pose of diverting- it from it- natural into artificial
channel.*. e shall, therefore, oppose a Tauifk
for protection, not only because it is unconstitu
,tional, but because it is in the highest decree un
wise anti impolitic..
Accountability is the great check upon human
depravity, anil Cobpohations are corrupt because
their members are individually irresponsible; they
are, therefore, to be opposed upon general princi
ples, and only to be tolerated occasionally as ne
cessary evi's. In tlu> Const tution of the United
States, we find no war-ant or authority to establish
nnv of the<e excrescences upon the hotly politic -
and in the shape of a Hank, we hold that the p,,w
er would be peculiarly tlaugerous and objection
able. * J
We shall always oppose the expenditure of vast
sums upon local objects, as being not less tin wise,
because the fund is always 1 atlly administered
wanting the vigilant eye of individu I inteicst
and unjust, because it lay* violent hands upon the
aennimions of the minority, to he expended m,t for
general and necessary purposes, but fo. local and
individual emolument.
In short, we esteem the Government of the Uni
ted State* a c eat arc of the Sovereign Stale* of His
Union, instituted for particular purposes, u|,:ch
cannot be transcended without the most imminent
danger of overthrowing that Union, which it was
tlie boast of our ancestors to have erected, and
which it should be our pride, as it is our interest, to
preserve
Although these arc our own particular views, we
arc by no means so bigotted, or so illiberal, as to
exclude nil othcis from our columns. Our politi
< al opponents shall always be welcome, provided
their arguments are presented in an nble and re
sportful form ; all we ask, is the opportunity of rc
‘uting them. With rig/d on our side, we are pre
pared to cucounbr anv comer, r.o matter what
weapons lie wields; such is our faith in troth rni
hodied, as we believe it to be, in the principles of
the Republican Party.
Although the political will be the chief, H will
not be the only feature of the paper. To the coun
try paper an Agricultural department will be add
ed, which it is hoped the experience of one of the
Editors, in that particular line, will enable him to
make particularly acceptable to the farming com
munity. This department will he handrotm ly il
I list rated with cuto of agricultural implement*,
when they can he procured, and it is believed it
will constitute a very valuable and popular feature
in the paper; at least, no exertion on our part-hall
be wanting to make it so. Mechanics nn.l Manu
facturer* shall also receive their full share of alien
turn; and wc have engaged the sorvircs of one of
the first merchants in this city to take charge of
the Commercial Department. Able and trust-wor
thy correspondents will also be procured to keep n*
constantly advised of the most important news in
.the principal cities of the Union.
Nor will the claims of polite Litbratuse obbs
unheeded. We arc not unmindful ot the variety
of tastes fur which wc shall have to cater in this de
partment ; but wc hope by a duo admixture of po
etry and romance, of anecdote, humor and fun. to
provide for all, whilst wc will endeavor to shock
the sensii ililics ol none. At least, wc will promise
to our readers a n,ore intellectual banquet than is
afforded by the *• boarding school Mias” order of
literature, which graces, or disgraces rather, so
many of the public journals of America.
Wo are well aware of the risk, the labor, and the
responsibility of such an undertaking, and we
have encountered them all, after calm and serious
deliberation; relying for success upon our deter
mination to labor diligently in the prosecution of
our design. The absolute dependence of one and
all of us upon the prosperity of the paper, is (he
best guarantee for the performance of this resolu
Of our own ability for this ardur uir task, it would
not b come us to speak. One of us has had >ome
five or six years experience in the editorial depart
ment, an.I another n, by profession and practice
thorouirl'ly acquaint d with the mechanical duties
of an office. We have been promised the aid of
some of the ablest pens in the Union, and we start
with the hope of seeing the HOUTHERN STAND
ARB, for such is the name of our paper, take its
stand hy the side of the first journals of the day —
Wc shall l-rgu, with a sheet, the. size of which will
be commensurate with our means. Wc know that
more paper ran be b .tight for less money; but we
have not yet learned to measure menial prodne
