Volume I.] WEDNESD A Y, August 28, 1799.
To the PUBLIC.
i[ HE Subscribers having commenced
the Printing Business in the City of Au
cuila> take the opportunity of the firft
number of their Weekly Paper, to return
their grateful acknowledgments, to their
numerous subscribers by whom their un
dertaking has been generously patronized ;
and to assure them that no pains will be
ipared to render their paper a vehicle of
uleful information, and a source of ra
tional amusement. Added to the usual
difficulties which present themselves, to
those, who with but moderate funds, at
tempt almost any establishment, the Sub
scribers have bad to encounter peculiar in
conveniences, which neceftarily prevent
ed their Publishing the AUGUSTA
HERALD as early as was at firft con
templated; but as no wilful negligence can
be imputable to them, they trust the delay
will be excused by a liberal community.
From the arrangements made, the Edi
tors of the Herald hope to be able to fur
nifli their readers wjth a detail (ft the lat
est European events, and the earliest do
mertic occurrences, and by a judicious
feledlion of moral and entertaming publica
tions, to engage the attention of those who
are indifferent to the political events of the
world.
It will be the cOnftant aim of the Edi
tors to condu£t their paper in such an im
partial manner, as not to favor the party
views of any set of designing individuals,
while a free difculfion of public measures
will ever be admitted.—-But resolving to
support the liberty of the press on pure and
just principles, they hefiitatenot 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 a future juftification, ftiould they be
found hereafter to have rejefte,! the prb
duftjojus of fnch as will Tannot,
between the liberty
and ttie Hcentioufnefs 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 furnifh, towards rendering
the Herald universally entertaining.
