Three Dels, per Ann ] Volume I.] 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.
