To the PUBLIC.
t *
HE Subscribers having commenced
the Printing Business in the City of Au
oufta, take the opportunity of the firft
number of their Weekly Paper, to return
their grateful acknowledgments, to their
numerous fubferibers by whom their un
dertaking has been generously patronized ;
andtoatliiretherptbat.no pains will be
(pared to render ’their paper a vehicle of
ufeful information, and a source of ra
tional amusement. Added to the usual
difficulties w T hich present themselves, to
those, wJjo with but moderate funds, at
tempt any eftablifliment, the Sub
fcriber**have had to encounter peculiar in
conveniences, which necessarily prevent
ed their Puhlifhing 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 far
nifti their readers with a detail of the lat
est European events, and the earliest do
tneftic occurrences, and by a judicious
feleftion of moral and entertaining publica
tions, to engage the attention of those who
are indifferent to the political events of the
world.
It will be the constant aim of the Edi
tors Ni conduct their paper in such an im
partlf manner, as not to favor the party
views of any set of designing individuals,
while a free difeuflion of public measures
will ever be admitted.—But resolving to
support the liberty of the press on pure and
just principles, they heffitatenot 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 expefting
in the enlightened C»tv in which they re
side to be presented with any such pieces,
yet thev deemed this declaration necessary,
as 'a future juftification, fliouid they be
found hereafter to have rejected the pro
ductions of such as will not, or cannot,
make the diftinftion between the liberty
and the licentiousness of the Press.
To give general fatisfaftion will be th
constant aim of the Editors, and, to aid
their efforts, they take the liberty of soli
citing from their literary friends, such af
liftance as their leisure and talents will en
able them to furnifh, towards rendering
the Herald universally entertaining.
