PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING, IN SAVANNAH, A DAILY NEWSPAPER, TO BE ENTITLED EDITED BY J. M. HARNEY. TS77IEN it is considered how extensive and powerful T v an influence a free press possesses, in improv ing or corrupting the morals; refining or vitiating the taste; exalting or degrading the character; promoting or counteracting the political welfare of a state; he, who assumes the management of a public paper, is al most overawed by the weight of resposibility he incurs. Th people, mindful that the same responsibility de volves on them, (inasmuch as a paper ow es its exis tence to their patronage,) will require to be informed of the character and object of TIIE GEORGIAN, be fore they can feel justified in giving it their support. In obedience to this just demand, tlie following expo sition is candidly and willingly submitted. The constitution of the l nited States should be the text of every man’s political creed. We need not ran sack the arcliives of Greece and Rome; nor, like Solon, visit distant countries in search of political knowledge. He is the best statesman, who best understands our con stitution. It is tire master-piece—the ne plus ultra of political wisdom. It is the rock on which we have founded the temple of liberty: the rains have come, and the w inds beat upon it, but it still stands. Certain amendments of the constitution have been proposed, by sincere patriots and enlightened statesmen, of both parties. Their opinions ma be correct, and the right to amend is unquestionable; yet it is to be dee pi} ‘re gretted that the period of amendments is not past, as, by creating a doubt of its perfection, they tend continu ally to impair its sanciit}, and enfeeble its authority. But let it never be forgotten, that the stabilit} and perpetuity of a republic tioes not depend, exclusively, on the excellence of its constitution. If the people, (from w hose sovereignty emanates all authority—exec utive, legislative and judicial) be not sufficiently cidight ened to discern the wisdom; nor sufficiently virtuous to appreciate the blessings of our government, they are continually at the mercy of their delegated rulers. In asmuch as the people are the supreme directors of po litical affairs, they should at least be acquainted with the constitution, w hich is the very foundation of their free dom and the w arrant of their political sovereignt} . The constitution ought to be considered an lnOispcnsi ble branch of scholastic learning in ail the colleges and schools of the United States. But how seldom do we meet w ith this sacred compact; this estimable charter; this palladium ot our liberty, except in the libraries of lawyers and learned men! A republic may exist, long after the corruption of its morals, but there is no ant,dote against the benumbing and deadening effects of igno rance. The book of Constitutions and the Bible should occupy tlie same shell of tlie farmer, for, next to h:s God, his country demands his consideration and love. But is must be remembered, that it is necessary to fort* tify the body politic not onl} against internal corruption and disorder, but also to defend it against the enemies by which .t is surrounded. Ihe tree of our liberty must not only be able to stand alone, but, like the w ell-root ed oak, to withstand the tempests of extraneous power. As.our’s is the 01 J} republic on earth; as she has exalted herseit in the nudst of governments which are naturally and essentially her enemies, her permanent security must depend on her physical strength. Hence the ne cessity of na\ us and military forces. These slfßTffd be just competent —not so great as to be dangerous to our selves, nor so small as to be harmless to our enemies.— In tnedio tiuissiinus ibis. On this subject the American statesman Should exert the greatest sagacity anil circ.um .spection. As real sovereignty consists in strength, the sovereign people should retaiu-the power to rule in tiieir ow n hands—hence a well organized, well disciplined and well armed militia, is the safeguard of a repubhc, tlie bulwark of its liberty. When war is constitutionally declared, that man is an enemy to his country, or at least a worthless friend, who w ill not ;ud ihe administration in defending its honor and independence. Our political existence is then assail ed, and tlie weightiest matters of political controversy, are nothing in comparison w ith that momentous stake. After the enemy has struck a blow into the bosom of our country, to hesitate is to be lost. We must not only promptly contribute our personal, but also our pecunia ry aid to the government. It is tine, a permanent sys tem of direct taxes should never be resorted to—because they are intrinsically odious to the people—because they are vexatious, and oppressive—because they mul tiply the unconditional supporters of. a ruling power, and because they are unnecessary, inasmuch as our ordi nary revenues are adequate to the supjroit of the ordina ry expenses of our government. But when our country, and all that is dear to freemen, is in imminent danger, it would be a matter of astonishment if a citizen ofthis re public, could ever object to a tax in any shape, or to anv necessary amount. “Nam neque quies gentium sine ur mis; neque arma sine stipendiis; neque stipendia sine -rni nuTis h.iberi quaint” The bold and efficient taxation of the people to support the expences of what has been emphatically sty led the “second war of independence,” w ill be held in perpetual memory, and imitated by fu ture administrations, under similar circumstances. But let it ever be (as it then was) the ultimo ratio of republi can legislators. So long as the existing administration maintains the republican principles and pursues tlie judicious meas ures which are now settled and acknowledged, it w ill meet with the unanimous support of every true friend to the country. The best efforts of the Georgian shall be dedicated to the support of such principles, such measures and such rulers. But let it be distinctly un derstood, that the Georgian can never condescend to become an unqualified adherent to any party. The in terests of the people shall never be sacrificed to the am bition of a few-. Formally years past, this republic has been unhappi ly divided into tw o parties, each of which has accused tiie other of entertaining designs and pursuing meas ures, ruinous to the welfare and dangerous to the lib erties of the people. But all this time our country has been marching, with giant strides, to wealth, grandeur and renown; exhibiting an unparalleled example of pre cocious greatness. In the very cradle of her infancy she signalized herself by Herculean exploits—nay! she sprang into existence, like Minerva from the head of Jove, full grown at birth’ Whatever errors may have been committed, we should be in a great measure re conciled bv contemplating tlie present wealth, strength, prosperity and glory of cur country. It would be im proper to dismiss this subject, without adverting to l hr* happy termination and glorious consequences of war. It has produced a moral effect upor which evi.-y .me sees an! fie .

I . i ... ■ i‘V. *’ **.] and rekindled the dying flame of our national glory—it has harmonized political discord; conciliated, the am.no- ! sity of parties; cemented the union and friendship he- j tween the sister states, and thereby consolidate! the 1 scattered fragments of our national energy, into one im mense and irresistible mass of physical power. Our government is no longer considered an experiment. With regard to this state, the ulinos- abilities of Georgian shall be, devoted to its wel.are. Ommcrcd • and agriculture, which give to Georgia a distinguished rank and importance in the union, shall be obj> of . special attention—consequently, every species or ’ nal improvement which is calculated to advance the in terests of either, w ill he regarded with a solicitous and zealous eye. The improvement of our internal navigM tion and the establishment of a hberal and enlightened sy stem of education, are measures of the ‘highest mi* portance to the welfare and reputation of Georgia, ail® must be ardently recommended by every man wlft.
