PITBLISIIED DAILY BY COS AM EMIR BARTLET. PROSPECTUS. ’ THE S.irANX.IH MUSEUM, Published in Savannah, Ga. COS AM EMIR BARTLET, Editor. A FREE PRESS has been termed the Pal- of Liberty; and since its first establish ing it has been cherished by the People, as the firmand stedfast champion of their rights.— Experience, so far from chi’‘ing the enthusiasm v ith which it has been regarded, has only con joined it in the affections of the people. It has leen 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 fse Government like ours, there are many such. ’The Institutions of our country arc not based n adamant, but are founded on opinion. Opin ii, which is mutable iu itself—is one thing in tlis day, or age— may be another, the nett. — AJhat then but an exlishtksbd mess can give stability to our forms of government, by des itmina’ting 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-| pie. l'lie Press is therefore of vital importance ■ to the people; because it is a vehicle through which they can make their voice be heard,: and respected, through every department of pow-j er. The Press may sometimes be faulty—may be ; influenced by political combinations, or grow; licentious. llut these are evils which speedily worktheir own cure. A licentious Press can not long be patronized by a sober and discrim inating public ; and one that becomes corrupt, Prom the influence of power, and betrays the interests of the people, will be neglected by he people. And thus self-interest, the only rice which could have induced an Editor to de part from his duty, will compel him to reform. The principles of the present Editob of the lluseum, roust necessarily have become known, a a large portion of the community, by his-for : ner editorial labors. His iiews of men and mea nres have been explained to the public, by practical comment. And it is tliougui that his past course will b ar him out in the assertion, 1 that his main object lias always been, to pub- 1 I lish an INDEPENDENT, nONEsiT, and LM- ‘ fAKI'IAL PAPER, which should serve the in - i tirests of the great body of the ceoplk, without flattering the vanity, cringing tor the favor, or i disguising the vices, of any particular class of them. However mistaken lie may have been in the means made use of to accoiii.nisli this great object—yet he can truly say, that he has Seen devoted to it* with an ho.testy of inten tion, and singleness of heart, which has disdain ed all considerations of pecuniary advantage, or personal feeling. Where his path ot duty nas oeen clearly marked out, he believes lie has endeavored to follow it, regardless of conse quences. He believes that no sejfish feelings, no views of individual profit, honor of emolu ment, have had power to force him froma stand, vhieli the interests of the people andtne hon or of his country have called upon him -,o as nurne. , Where ills duty has been plain, he lias endeavored that his conduct should be fearless ami determined. He has not hesitated to de nounce political profligacy, though ciothed with authority ; he has advanced bobby to the charge, and attacked the eijem. 4of economy, of jus tice, of liberty, and the people, in the strong holds of their power. This he iias not done to gratify any angry teelir.gs of his own, but be cause he “deemed tile public good demanded it. 111 particular, it will be the wish of tile Edi tor to keep the Museum aloof from all party entanglements. In his editorial character, lie will aiiow no party, but the American people; and will acknowledge no leaders hut the Spirit of Justice, and his own conscience. In the fate of other esta bailments, lie mis learned the des tiny which must always await the Editor, who sutlers himself to he made the tool of a party. He is thrust forth as the “Cal’s pao” in all quarrels; pushed forward as principal in con troversies, where he has no interest, and can gain no honor; and must bear the odium of sms which are not his own. It the designs of tiie party succeed, .*0 is neglected, because iiis ser vices are no longer useful. If the sinister tie signs of the party are detected and tad—the printer, who was only an instrument in the hauus of more cunning men —who only became odious from assuming other people's actions—is sacri ficed to a selfish policy; he is made the scape gout, and sent forth into the wilderness with the sins of the whole party on his head.— Warned, therefore, by tile example of others, the Editor of the Museum will lend himself to the views of no party. He 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 shall always be exerted on the side of vir tue and talents. The spirit of our government denies a prescriptive right in any person to of fice. Honors and offices are not the property of any family or party —but are the fuze gift of die people; and should be bestowed upon those w hose virtues have rendered them illus trious. They should he bestowed as a reward for eminent services rendered the country—and not held out as bribes for political duplicity. Such have been the views and principles which have governed the Editor ot the Museum in his past course, and which he modestly hopes Will continue to guide him for tiie future. In soliciting an increase of patronage, w hich may render tiie Museum more extensively useful, the Editor trusts that the principles lie has support ed, are such as will advance the best interests of his country, and which the enlightened ci tizens of Georgia cannot but approve. With these impressions, and these hopes, this PROS PECTUS is submitted to a liberal public. TERMS Ot’ SUBSCRIPTION.
