PUBLISHED DAILY BY COS AM EMIR BARTLET. PROSPECTUS. THE SAVAXXJIII MUSEUM Published in Savannah, Oa. COS AM EMIR BARTLET, Editor. -a FREE PRESS has been termed the Pal ladium of Liberty; and since its first establish ment, it has been cherished by the People, as the firmand stecliast champion of their rights.— Experience, so far from chilling the enthusiasm with which it has been regarded, has only con firmed it iiTthe affections of the people. It has been proved to be a most powerful engine in the correction of those abuses of authority, and . those faults in the administration of Government, which the Laws neglect, or cannot reach. In a; free Government like ours, there are many such. The Institutions’of our country are not based on adamant, but are founded on opinion. Opin ion, which is mutable in itself—is one thing in this day, or age —may be another, the next.— What then but an e.nlighte.vkd press can give stability to our forms of government, by des seminating correct and liberal notions in poli tics, and by inculcating sound maxims, and vir tuous principles. Our Government professes to derive its power from the suffrages of the peo ple. Che Press is therefore of vital importance to the people; because it is a vehicle through j which they can make their voice be heard,’ and respected, through every department of pow er. The Press may sometimes be faulty—may be influenced by political combinations, or grow licentious. But these are evils which speedily worktheir own cure. A licentious Press can not long be patronized !>y a sober and discrim inating public ; and one that becomes corrupt, irom the influence of power, and betrays the interests of the people, will be neglected by the people. And tlius self-interest, the only vice which could have induced an Editor to de part from Ins duty, will compel him to reform. The principles of the present Enrroa of the Museum, must necessarily have become known, to a large portion of the community, by ins for mer editorial labors. His views of men anil mea mres have been explained to the public, by, practical comment. And it is thought that iiis past course will In ar him out in the assertion, ihat his main object has always been, to puo-j Hi an INDEPENDENT, HONEST, and IM PARTIAL PAPER, which should serve the in terests oftheereai body of the i'koi’lk, without flattering thVMuuty, cringing for the favor, or disguising the vices, of any particular class of diem. However mistaken he may have been in the means made use of to accomplish tins peat object—yet lie can truly say, that lie lias Dcen devoted to it, with an Honesty of inten tion, uid singleness of Heart, which has di so lull ed all consideration-, of pecuniary advantage, or personal feeling. Where his path of duty has been clearly marked out, lie believes he has endeavored to fodovv it, regardless of conse quences. lie believes that no selfish feelings, no views of Individual profit, honor or cmoiu- ment have had i>ower to force him from a stand, v/hicli the interests of the people and the hon or of his country nave called upon him iO as sume. Where Ins duty has been plain, he has endeavored that liis conduct should he tearless and determined, lie lias not hesitated to de tounce political profligacy, though ciothed with authority; he has advanced holdiy charge, and attacked the enemies of economy, of jus tice, of liberty, and the people, in tne strong holds of tneir power. This lie has not done to gratify any angry feelings of his own, but be cause he deemed the public good demanded it. In particular, it will be the wish ot the Edi tor to keep the Museum aloof from all party entangle meats. In his editorial character, lie will know no party, but the American people; and will acknowledge no leaders out jyie Spirit of Justice, and his own conscience. In tile fate of other esta. hshments, he has learned Ul t des tiny which must always await the Editor, who suiters himset. to be made the tool oi a party. He is t trust forth as the ‘‘Cat’s paw” in ad quarrels; pushed forward as principal in con troversies, where no has no interest, and can gam no honor; and must bear the odium of sins which are not his own. Ii the designs of the party succeed, he is neglected, because Ins ser vices are no longer useful. If Ihe sinister de signs of the party are detected and fail—the printer, who was only an instrument in the hands of more cunning men—who omy became odious from assuming oilier people’s actions —is sacri ficed to a sehish policy; he is made the scape goat, and sent forth iiuo the wilderness with the sins of the whole party on his head.— Warned, therefore, by tiic example of others, the Editor of tile Museum will lend himself to the views of no party. lie will advocate the interests of THE PEOPLE, and trusts to them alone for patronage. In the competition between citizens for posts of honor and profit, the influence of the .Muse um snail always be exerted oil the side of vir tue and talents. The spirit of our government denies a prescriptive right in any person to of fice. Honors and oilices are not tiie property of any family or party—but arc the fiihs gift of the people;, ijiict should be bestowed upon those whose virtues hive rendered them illus trious. They should be bestowed as a reward for eminent services rendered the country—anti not held out as bribes for political duplicity. Such have been the view's and principles which have governed the Editor ot the Museum in his past course, anti which he modestly hopes will continue to guide him for the future. In soliciting an increase of patronage, which may render the Museum more extensively useful, the Etiitpr trusts the principles he has support ed, are such as will advance the best interests oi his country, and which tiie enlightened ci t.zens of Georgia cannot but approve. With tuese impressions, and these hopes, this PROS PECTUS is submitted to a liberal public.
