Three Dols. per Ann.] Volume I.] **• 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.
