July 19- —39 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. WALTER JONES, HENRY DENISON. .Milledgeville, April 20, ISI9. •XT Subscriptions received at the office of the Darien Gazette. 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.

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.
