PUBLISHED DAILY U Y COSAJI EMIR BAUTLET. PROSPECTUS. THE SAVANNAH MUSEUM, Published, in Savannah, it a. COSAM EMIR BARTLET, Editor. \ FREE PRESS has been termed the Pal- Mlium of Liberty; and since its first establish ne!lt, it has been cherished by the People, as hefirmand stedfast champion of their rights.— iisperience, so far from chilling the enthusiasm u .; tJ which it has been regarded, has only con tinued it in the affections of the people. It has >e<;n proved to be a most powerful engine in he correction of those abuses of authority, and hose faults in the administration of Government, vhicli the Laws neglect, or cannot reach. In a '< f ee Government like ours, there are many such, j fie Institutions of our country are not based | )E adamant, but are founded on opinion. Opin- j ioo, which is mutable in itself—is one thing in j Its day, or age —may be another, the next. — What then but an kslightenkii pit ess can give • (tability to our forms of government, by des leniinaung correct and liberal notions in poli tics, and bv inculcating sound maxims, and vir tuous principles. Our Government professes to derive its power from the suffrages of the peo de. File Press is therefore of vital importance o the people; because it is a vehicle through rbich they can make their voice be heard, iI respected, through every department of pow-j r. ... The Press may sometimes be faulty—may be ■ ifluenced by political combinations, or grow centtous. But these are evils which speedily rorktheir own cure. A licentious Press can ut long be patronized by a sober and discrim-] iating public ; and one that becomes corrupt, I on the influence of power, and betrays the tcresU’ of the people, will be neglected by e petiole. And thus self-interest, the oniy ce which could have induced an Editor to de nt from his duty, will compel him .o reform, file principles of tiic present Eii.toh of the IcsiiL'K, must necessarily have become known, lu large portion of the communi y, by h:s so.- Btr editorial labors'. II s views of men anti niea-, ues have been explained to die puuiic, by i isetical comment. And it is thought that his : (si course will b ar him out iu the assertion, i hit his main object has always been, to pub islian INDEPENDENT, -iONEST, and LVl *AltriAl. PAPER, which should serve the in erttts of the great body of the people, without iattcring the vanity, cringing tor the favor, or lisniismg tlie vices, of any particular class of ttem. However mistaken he may have been n the means made use of to accomp.ish tnis Tiut object—yet lie can truly say, that he has ecn devoted .to it, with ail honesty of inicn bn, and singleness of Heart, which lias disdain fall considerations of pecuniary advantage, or irsonal feeling. Where his path of duty has :en clearly marked out, he believes he has Kleavored to follow it, regardless of consc iences. lie believes that no selfish feelings, I views of individual profit, honor or emoiu- Hit, have had power to force iiiin from a stand, iicli the interests of the people and toe bon ot his country have called upon him o as ms. Where his duty has been plain, lie lias kleavored that his conduct should be tearless id determined, lie lias not hesitated to de nuice political profligacy, though c.odicd with itliority ; he lues advanced tioldt/ to lue charge, id attacked the enemies of economy, of jus-1 Cc, of liberty, and the people, in .lie strong j ids of their power. I'ii.s he has not done 10 atify any angry feelings of uis own, but. be ise lie deemed the public goou demanded it. In particular, it will oe the wish of uie Etli • to keep the Museum alool from all party iitaug.eriieuts. In his editorial character, ue ill know no party, but the American people; id will acknowledge no ‘leaders bur tlie Spirit f Jnot.ce, and his own conscience. In tlie fate t other esla .lishnieiits, lie has learned the des mj which must always await the Editor, who tilers lihuseli to be made the tool ot a party. Isis thrust forth as the “ Cat’s paw” in ail [un-els; pushed forward as principal in con raversies, where lie lias no interest, and can mi no honor ; and must bear the odium of sins illicit are not his own. If the designs of the wly succeed, he is neglected, because his ser ices are no longer useful. If the sinister de igns of the parly are detected and fail—the ii.nter, who was only an instrument in the hands kinore cunning men—who oniy became odious rem assuming other people’s actions—is sacri iced to a selfish policy; he is made the scape yat, and sent forth into the wilderness with lie sins of the whole party on his head.— IVarncd, therefore, by tne example of others, lie Editor of the Museum will lend himself to iie views of no party. Ue will advocate the ntemtg of THE PEOPLE, and trusts to them lone for patronage. in the competition between citizens for posts f honor and profit, the influence of the Aluse •in shall always he exerted on the side of vir ie and talents. The spirit of our government eiues a prescriptive right in any person to 01- cc. Honors and offices are not the property f any family or party —but are tlie iuee oirr 1 the people; and should be bestowed upon luisc whose virtues have rendered them idus- Wius. They should be bestowed as a reward ot eminent services rendered the country—and ini held out as bribes for political duplicity. Until have been tlie views and principles which lavs governed the Editor ot die Museum in ‘•is past course, and which lie modestly hopes Gl! continue to guide him for tlie future. In Wanting an increase of patronage, which may e niier the Museum more extensively useful, the kidor trusts that the principles he inis support -4 are such as will advance the best interests kms country, and which the enlightened ci taus of Georgia cannot but approve. With liisc impressions, and these hopes, this PKUS ‘UJt'tb is submitted to a liberal public. TERMS OE SUBSCHITTIO.Y.
