To the PUBLIC
HE Sabfcribers having commenced
the Printing Business in the City of An
aufta, 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 j
and to allure them that no pains will be
spared to render their, paper a vehicle of
ufeful 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 eftablifliment, the Sub
scribers have .had'to encounter peculiar in
conveniences, which neceflariiy prevent
ed their Publifliing the AUGUST A
HERALD as early as was at firft con
templated; but as no wilful negligence can
be imputable to them, they trutt the delay
will be exclifed by a liberal community, j
From the arrangements made, the Edi
tors of the Herald hope to be able to fur
ziifli their readers with a .detail of the iat
eft European events, and the earliest do
mestic occurrences, and by a judicious
i'eleflion of moral and entertaining publica-"'
tions, to engage the attention of jdiofe who
are indifferent to the political events of the
world*
It will be the constant aim of the'Edi
tors to conduit their paper in such an im
partial manner, as not to favor the party
views of any set of designing individuals,
while a free difcuffionof public measures
will ever be admitted.—But refolding to
support the liberty of the press on pujre and
just principles, they heffitate not to fay that
no publications will iflue from their press
calculated merely to bring the Federal Go
vernment into eifrepute, or to withdraw
the confidence of thp people from thdfe
who adtninifter it. Though not expelling
in the enlightened City in which they re
lide to be pfefented with arty such pieces, 4
ygt they this declaration neccffary,
a|: : a fliouid they be
found hereafter to have rejected the pro
du&ions of such as will not, or cannot,
make the diftlndtion 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 furnifh, towards rendering
the Herald universally entertaining.
