| To the PUBLIC.
I Jl HE Subscribers having commenced
fm t ;~rPrinting Business in the City of Au-
I £ ufta, take the opportunity of the firft
number of their Weekly Paper, to return
I their grateful acknowledgments, to their
numerous fubferibers by whom their un
• dertaking has been generously patronized ;
I and to a dure them that no pains will be
■ feared to render their paper a vehicle of
B ufeftil information, and a source of ra
tjonai amusement. Added to the usual
if difficulties which present themfeives, to
K those, who with but moderate funds, at
i tempt almost any eftablifliment, the Sub
-1 fcribers have had to encounter peculiar in
| conveniences, which necessarily prevent-
E ed their Publifliing the AUGUSTA
ft HERALD as early as was at firft con
templated; but as no wilful negligence can
I be imputable to them, they tru ft the delay
I will be excused by a liberal community.
From the arrangements made, the Edi-
I tors of the Herald hope to be able to fur
si ndh their readers with a detail of the lat
est European events, and the earliest do
ir.eftic occurrences, and by a judicious
I fele&ion of moral and entertaining publica
f tions, to engage the attention of those who
are indifferent to the political events of the
world.
• It will be the conftaut aim of the Edi
' tors to conduct their paper in such an im
partial manner, as not to favor the party
views of any set of designing individuals,
while a free difeuffion of public measures
will ever be admitted.—But resolving to
support the liberty of the press on pure and
just principles, they heffitate not to fay that
no publications will issue from their press
calculated merely to bring the Federal Go
vernment into disrepute, or to withdraw
the confidence of the people from those
who administer it. Though not expelling
in the enlightened City in which they re
side to be presented with any such pieces,
yet they deemed this declaration necessary,
as future JulLficati •>», fliouid they be
found hereafter to have rejected the pro
ductions of such as will not, or cannot,
make the diftin&ion between the liberty
and the licentiousness of the Press.
To give general fatisfa&ion will be the
constant aim of the Editors, and, to aid
their efforts, they take the liberty of soli
citing from their literary friends, such as
sistance as their leisure and talents will en
» able them to furnifti, towards rendering
the Herald universally entertaining.
