PROPOSALS
For publishing, at .Milledgeville,
A NEWSPAPER—TO BE ENTITLED
GEORGIA REPUBLICAN.
rglllE duty of editors of newspapers, fortunately, is
A w ell understood by the American people. The pub
lication, therefore, of proposals for printing, does not,
as we conceive, reqir re any avowal of political tenets,
or protestation of patriotism. ’Tis useless. Let their
work, not a prospectus, decide if editors be, or be not
worthy the patronage of their fellow-citizens.
The first number of the Georgia Republican will be
issued, by us, at Milledgeville, on the second Tuesday
in September, the present year. It will be printed
once a week, ant! on a large super-royal sheet:—not in
ferior, in point of size, to any in the slate. The press,
and all necessary apparatus, to be entirely new, and of
the best, quality. We solicit the patronage of an inde
pendent community.
CONDITIONS.
Three dollars in advance, (upon the receipt of the
first number) or four dollars at the expiration of the
year. Advertisements and all other printing v ill be
done at the customary prices. Letters addressed to the
editors must, in all cases, be post-paid.

IhIRTE.Y, ((1.1) MO.VD.IY, SEPTEMBER 13, 181!).
To the Printers of the United States,
('i ENTLEMF.N—In presenting a list of new prices
Xoi types, some explanatory remarks may be useful.
1 he former prices were fixed during a period in
which the raw materials were dear, and not easily
to he procured, and it is presumed that they had
some claim to be considered moderate, as in 1812.
Type were more than three per cent lower in Philadel
phia than in London; and no advance was made on those
prices, during the late war, although existing circum
stances would have justified the measure. It was con
sidered that an advance would he an actual loss to the
printers, as the competition in the printing business
had, before that period, arrived at such a point, that the
public w ere supplied with printing, at nearly the mini
mum; and also, that it was probable the prices ot types
would continue some time after the return of peace, and
recompense for any advantage that was given up. This
has taken place.
For some time past, types have been lowered in val
ue, but not in price. They havobeen sold on long and
frequently uncertain credit, which produces, to the sel
ler all the effects of reduction of price whilst to the prin
ter who pays it is of comparatively little benefit. All
the advantage is in favor of those who promise, but do
not perform, as in truth they get types for nothing, and
the solvent printers pay for them. Another objection
to this mode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the
seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal
he may be, subjects him to all the inconveniences of
poverty.
Men who possess talents, economy, industry and hon
or, will sometimes lack money. ‘The characters who
have just claims to those attributes, will rarely be at a
loss for friends, and will enter on business with a more 1
favorable prospect of success, when assisted by a mod
erate, than by an extended credit, w hich is equally with
in the reach of a rival, who, with an ardent disposition
for speculation and adventure, may have but doubtful
claims to reputation for prudence.
In order to leave no ground for complaint, it is to be
understood that all purchasers, since the first of April,
w ho comply with the new terms, will be entitled to ben
efit by the new prices.
Presuming on the long intimacy which has subsisted
between you, gentlemen, and this establishment, 1 re
quest you will give this an insertion in your papers.
Your’s respectfully,
JAMES RONALDSON.

NILES’ WEEKLY REGISTER
PROSPECTUS.
THIS work is so generally known that little need be
said respecting its character; but some gentlemen
having desired a prospectus by which to recede ad
ditional subscriptions, a brief notice must be taken of it.
Niles’ Register lias been published at Baltimore
since September, 1811, and perhaps, no publication is
sues from the American press that is more generally
read. It is received in every state and territory of the
union, taken and preserved in all the great departments
of the general government, and complete sets of the
work are furnished to all the foreign ministers of the
United States. It is oftentimes quoted in our courts of
law, and to be found in many public libraries. A num
her of copies arc regularly transmitted to Europe,
South-America and the West-Indies.
‘Flic public documents contained in this work would
cost, if purchased separately, more than twice the a
mount that is demanded for it per annum; but so much
other matter is got into it that the documents, perhaps,
do not generally occupy a third part of a volume. It is
a history of men and things, and the most extensive book
of reference ever published in any country—useful as
to the past, and agreeable and interesting for the present
and future.
Its politics are of the old republican school—but strik
ing only at first principles, men are not regarded. The
chief purpose of all its original articles, which are nu
merous, is to raise up a national character, encourage
home industry and support other great interests of the
people. These objects are fearlessly pursued.
File Rr.ois run has received the most flattering sanction
of a large number of the principal characters in the
United States, and a volume of approbatory letters, from
high and honorable men, might be published if it were
necessary.
TERMS, &c.
A ties’ Register is published at Baltimore every Satur
day, and immediately transmitted, being securely pack
ed, to any post-office in the union; or, if preferred, it
will be delivered in volumes.
The price is five dollars a year, payable always in ad
vance.
Numbers lost or damaged in the mail (which does not
often happen) are gratuitously supplied, the application
therefor being made without expense to the editor, that
gentlemen may preserve their files complete.
The volumes commence in March and September in
every year -being two volumes in a year; each of which
is furnished with a title page and index.
Files from the beginning may be bad as follows:
For the 15 vols. or 7i years, from Sept. 1811,
to March, 1819, at §5 per annum; 37 50
extra supplements to vols. 5,7, 8, 9 and 15, 500
General Index to the first series, or 12 vols.
of the work, 3 00
45 50
.Advance year, 5 00
50 50
If desired bound—for binding the 15 vols. and
general index, 16 vols. at per vol. 14 00
g 64 50
Files, in sheets, will be sent to any post-office, at the
cost of the purchaser and risk of the editor, —if bound,
they cannot be so sent, but will be shipped for most of
our principal sea ports, at the cost of the editor, but at
the risk of the purchaser. Files ure sold only for cash.
Subscribers may begin at what period they please, but
it is recommended, (so that they may have a complete
work while they receive it,) that they should commence
with a volume.
The safe carriage of money remitted by mail is guar
anteed—out it is expected that, the postage will be paid,
