ftfBLISHED DAILY BY COSAM EMIR BARTLET. PROSPECTUS. THE SAVANNAH MUSEUM, Published in Savannah, Ga. -A. COSAM EMIR BARTLET, Editor. V FREE PRESS has been termed the Pal [itim of Liberty; and since its first establish .nt, it has been cherished by tiie People, as efirmand sledtust champion of their rights.— xperience, so far from chilling the enthusiasm jtu which it has been regarded, lias only con fined it in the affections of the people. It has sen proved to be a most powerful engine in ‘ e correction of those abuses of authority, and ose faults in the administration of Government, ncli the Laws neglect, or cannot reach. In a ;e Government like ours, there are many such. ie institutions of our country are not based i adamant, but are founded on opinion. Opin io which is mutable in itself—is one thing in is day, or age — may be another, the next. — r tit then but an enlightened press can give aiility to our forms oi government, by (les nm&ting correct and liberal notions in poli- SSI and by inculcating sound maxims, and vir ious principles. Our Government professes to erive its power from the suffrages of the peo e. The Press is therefore of vital importance the people; because it is a vehicle through licii they can make their voice be heard, impeded, through every department of pow- The Press may sometimes be faulty—may be luenced by political combinations, or grow entious. But these are evils which speedily rktheir own cure. A licentious Press can long be patronized by a sober and discrim liing public ; and one that becomes corrupt, a i the influence of power, and betrays the trests of tile people, will be neglected by i people. And thus seif-interest, the only . which could have induced an Editor to de t from his duty, will compel him to reform. Hie principles of the present Editor of the jtrx, must necessarily have become known, a large portion of the community, by his tjr reditorial labors. His views of men and mea ts have been explained to the public, by •jtical comment. And it is thought that his is course will b ar him out in the assertion, ia;liis main object has alwavs been, to pub ihan INDEPENDENT, ; .ONEST, and 1M- A£: lAI. PAPER, which should serve the in (■(• of the great body of the people, without uttering the vanity, cringing for the favor, or gguising the vices, of any particular class of ieia. However mistaken iie may have been tie means made use ot to accomplish this eat object—yet he can truly say, that lie lias jei devoted to it, with an honesty of mteu an and singleness of heart, which has distiaiu liU considerations of pecuniary advantage, or tsunal feeling. Where his path of duty has tn clearly marked out, he believes he has toored to follow it, regardless of conse mres. He believes that no selfish feelings, (view's of individual profit, honor or emoiu it, have had power to force him from a stand, tch the interests of the people and the hon cf his country have called upon him io as le Where liis duty has been plain, he lias favored that his conduct should oe reariess i determined. He has not hesitated to de uce political profligacy, though c.olhed with iuriiy; lie has advanced boh by .0 the charge, I attacked the enemies of economy, of jus of liberty, and the people, m the strong lis of their power. This he lias not done to ufy any angry feelings of iiis own, but oe ise he deemed the public good demanded it. a particular, it will be the wish of tile Edi th) keep the Museum aloof from ail party ingiements. In his editorial character, he ii know no party, but the American people; and will acknowledge no leaders but the ■Spirit Justice, and his own conscience, in the fate oilier establishments, he lias learneU the des y which must always await the Editor, who i'ers himself to he made the tool of a party, iis thrust forth as the “ Vat’s paw” m all arrets; pushed forward as principal in con iversie s, where lie lias no interest, and can in no honor; and must bear the odium 01 sins hicii are not his own. If the designs of the rty succeed, he is in. glected, because his scr ees are no longer useful. If the sinister de gas of the party are detected and lad—the iuter, who was only an instrument in the hands aiore cunning men—who only became odious <m assuming other people’s actions—is sacri ted to a selfish policy; he is made Hie scape its, and sent forth into the wilderness with it sms of the whole party on his head.— Famed, therefore, by the example of others, re Editor of the Museum will lend himself to e views of no party. tie will advocate the terests of TliE PEOPLE, and trusts to them >ne for patronage. In the competition between citizens for posts honor and profit, the influence of the .Muse a shall always be exerted on the side of vir e and talents. The spirit of our government lines a prescriptive right in any person to of •e. Honors and offices are not the property iany family or party —but are the fiisz gift the people; and should be bestowed upon ose whose virtues have rendered them lllus ious. They should be bestowed as a reward it eminent services rendered the country—and ot held out as bribes for political duplicity. Sncli have been the views and principles which ave governed the Editor ot the Museum in is past course, and which he modestly hopes ill continue to guide him for the future. In inciting an increase of patronage, which may mder the Museum more extensively useful, the Iditor trusts that the principles lie has support 1, are such as will advance the best interests i his country, and which the enlightened ci iciis of Georgia cannot but approve. With ‘esc impressions, and these-hopes, this PIiOS ECI'US is submitted to a liberal public. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
