To the PUBLIC.
II HE Subscribers having commenced
the Printing Business in the City of Au
gusta, 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;
and to allure them that no pains will be
spared to render their paper a vehicle of
uieful 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
fcribei*S have had to encounter peculiar in
conveniences, which necessarily 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 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
nidi their readers with a detail of the lat
elt European events, and the earliest do
mestic occurrences, and by a judicious
feleftion of moral and entertaining publica
tions, to engagfthe attention of those 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 difeuffion of public measures
will ever be admitted.—Blit resolving to
l'upport the liberty of the press on pure and
jutfprinciples, 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,
tX V fut”.r A jollification, fiion.d they be
found hereafter to have rejected the pro
ductions of such as will not, or cannot,
make the diftinCtion between the liberty
and the licentiousness of the Press.
To give general fetisfaCtion 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 af
fifhnce as the : r leisure and talents will en
able them to furnifh, towards rendering
the Herald universally entertaining.
