PROSPECTUS OF
The Independent l*ress.
THE undersigned, acknowledging a
blind adhesion to no man or set of men
on catllr—hut claiming and exercising
the most unrestricted liberty of thought,
speech anil action, proposes publishing
weekly, at Washington, Wilkes, Georgia,
| a newspaper to lie called “THE INDE
PENDENT PRESS.” Regarding the
principles oft he Virginia & Kentucky Re
solutions of ’9B, and *99, of the celebrated
Virginia Report of the latter year, ns es
sential to the preservation of the integrity
of the Republic and tiie liberty of its citi
zens—the niidcrsioed will acknowledge
them alone as the gnLles ot huftourse,
and will at all times to apply
them with a stern imparnflny to men, to
parties, and to “Tiie Inde
pendent Press” re-estab
lishment of ti United as
unconstitutional, inexpedient and dan
gerous; tt Protective Tariff, ns onconsti
tivHonnl, unequal anil unjust; the System
mt Internal Improvements hy tin GeaHSn
Mlovernment; the flagitious project M|
assumption of State debts by the General]
Government; all monopolies and exc.lo- 1
sive privileges; and will endeavour to |
! show the in jurious effects of the present
Banking System —'inaccurately called
the credit system —upon the distribution
of individual and national wealth, the
productive energies of the country, and
the morals of the people. As the elec
tion of William Ilcury Harrison would
he regarded as n verdict hy the people
against all our principles, as above set \
forth, and in favor of a Bank, protective]
tariff’, internal improvements hy the Gnu- !
era! Government, and fur tiie entire poli
|cy of the federalists, it will he steadily re
sisted hy alljiono!able means. Ofcntirsc
Mr. Van Duron will be sustained as de
cidedly pr> ferablo to the Federal candi
date.
“The Independent Press” will fear
lessly rebuke, the spirit of Party proscrip
tion, and the employmeut'of all improper
j means for the attainment of political
power and ascendency, by either men
‘or parties. It will especially repro
bate the vile practice now so common
w ith the politicians of the day, of seek
ing popular favor hy pandering to tiie
prejudices, passions and appetites of the
ignorant and vicious.
ll will go for reform at home, among
the people themselves, without which re
form in tln ir governments either B*;ute or
Federal, neither will nor can he attained.
Di.-c arditia demagogues and grog-shop
politicians, the people must learn like an
cient Rome to “know no qualification for
office hut virtue and abilities.”
Amid the din of politics the claims of
literature shall not be overlooked; and
all manner of intelligence useful to the
scholar, the farmer, the merchant, and the
mechanic, will he diligently sought after
and disseminated through the columns
of the press:—and it will he the constant
effort of tiie undersigned to make the pa
llet instructive and useful to those valua- j
hie classes.
As profit is not the object of the under- |
?igned, he will, provided a sufficient num- j
her of subscribers can be obtained to se
cure him from actual loss by the publi
cation, issue the first number of ‘The
Independent Press” by the Ist of July
upon a sheet of the usual dimensions, at
the moderate price $2 5J per annum,
payable in all instances in advance,
Should (lie subscription authorize i(, the
paper will issue in a very few weeks.
Therefore friends at a distance, known
to the undersigned, and all others friendly
to the objects for which this paper is pro
posed to he established, will confer a fa
vor hy procuring and transmitting sub
scriptions, yo%t paid, to the undersigned,
at \\ nsliiugton Wilkes, til the earliest dav
practicable.

EDITED BY
IP. c. PENDLEI'ON A’ O. F. PIERCE.
To the Ladies of Georgia, and of the South
gent, roily, the following plan is most respect
fully submitted. It is hoped that it uill
receive their serious attention, ami meet
tln ir approbation, since it is for their
especial bent ft that the work is pro
jected.
PROSPECTUS.
SN submitting the following plan, vi e would
. first rail the attention of tire Ladies, and
all those who Ilc'l interested (and who arc
those that do not ?) i:i the welfare and im
provement of tlie Female sox, to the present
condition of the Southern Press. Nearly all
the publications which issue from il are en
gaged in political discussions, and their co
lumns teem with accusations, denials, abuse,
arid every other form of wordy warfare—car
ried on in language, frequently unfit for “eats
polite,” and seldom suited to the delicacy and
gentleness which belongs so peculiarly to the
Female character.
Oftli! few literary papers published South
of the Potomac, there is not one exclusive
ly-dedicated to the LADIES ! We have felt
this as a want which ought to be supplied;
l and we propose to make an effort to do so,
I confident that our endeavors will be crowned
with success, if we can only secure the hcar-
I tv co-operation of them for whose welfare we
I are about to labor —The Ladies of the
i South. And we expect, further, that every
intelligent mind among tlie oilier sex, will
view with approbation, and aid in sustaining
an enterprise designed to improve the minds
oft'.; ‘i. about whose cheeiing smiles and
soothing companionship, fife would be dreary
an ! this fair world a desert.
We wish, also, to Haffiird to the Ladas a
field for the exercise ol their own talents, and
for the development of the resources oftheir
minds. The lists of authors; for some few
year? past, havefreqnenlly entolled the names
of’Feinnles whose glorious success Iras sited
an.additional radiance on the name of “Wo
man.” Tire “lords of creation” have been
forced to acknowledge that the Female mind
is, by no means, deficient in capacity and
intellectual endowments —whilst, at the same
lime, it is possessed of superior delicacy and
tact. —Long ivas Woman's ntind held in
thraldom, long were her powers underrated,
and forced to remain inactive or unexereised
by the force of conventional arrangements;
but her chains are broken, and her liberty
has been proclaimed, The article of Mos
lem fault, that “Women have no souls,'’ no
longer obtains among ris. Let the Ladies
noiv assort their own privileges, and we of
fer them, in our proposed work, a medium
for theexpre riorr of their own liewsandsen
(iineuts, on all that appertains, in any de
gree, to the welfare and improvement of
| their sex.
In offering the plan of a SOUTHERN
LADIFS, BOOK, we do not intend that it
shall be precisely similar to a work of like
name, at the North. We leave Ipour North
ern eoteniporary pictorial representations of
fashion and dress, for (he embellishment of
the person : be it ours to provide a garb of
purity, elegance, refinement and grace, for
the adornment of the mind. Ail lhat may
ei dilute to form the heart, invigorate tiie
mil.!, purify tiie aHec.lWfns, and refine tiie
manners, snail be our especial eare, that our
work may be a useful aid to the young, and
fair, and beautiful, in preparing themselves
for the diselmi v.c of tiie noble and arduous
duties which devolve on Woman, inker va
ried capacity ol’Daughter, Wife anrl Mother.
And wo repeat that in the accomplishment of
this high enterpi.se, we confidently expect
tiie aid and support of the enlightened and
judicious of both sexes. Arrangements for
regular gid will be made with several Ladies,
whose productions have already gained them
high famein the literary world—and several
gentlemen of distinguished attainments have
already been secured as contributors, from
whom scientific tracts, iiitli notes, and ob
servations on tiie Arts may be expected.—
This department of the- work will receive
marked attention. 1 n short, nothing will be
omitted which may tend to give to tiie pub
lication sue!) characters.? will render it wor
thy the attention oftlie learned, nnd of those
to whom it isesnecially dedicated— the La
dies of the South and West, ll only remains
to obtain tiie requisite number of subscribers
—sny two thousand—and if tiie Ladies will
entile.upon, rind aid otir efforts, that number
will riot long be wanting. Let them urge
their Fathers, Husbands, 13 rot hers & Friends,
and it is soon done.
Ojr” The work will contain sixty-four roy
al octavo pages, stitched in a neat colored co
ver, nnd will appear monthly. Terms: Five
Dollars per annum, payable on the delivery of
the first number. “
OC/ 3 11 is highly important to state that all
! the Subscribers names which maybe obtain
ed, shou I(J be forwarded by tiie Ist of Decern
her next. Agents will please bear this in
mind.
OC/ 3 The following are some oftlie contri
butors to the writ k :
