PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING IN HAMBURG, S. C. * WEEKLY
NEWSPAPER TO BE ENTITLED
THE CAROLINA GALAXY,
and Commercial Advocate.
DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, THE ARTS AND SCIENCES, ,
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC NEWS, POLITICS, COM- |
MERCE AND AGRICULTURE..
By William 11. Prichard.
manifest necessity of a paper of the
■ above character in Hamburgh, must be ap- i
parent to every one the least conversant with
its peculiar happy location, growing popula
tion and highly favorable and rapidly increas
ing commercial facilities. It will, therefore,
be our aim to endeavor to sustain and increase
the character, and disseminate more extensive
ly the many important advantages this town so
eminently posseses to the State, and more im
mediately to the adjacent country.
the above publication, we hope to be ena-1
bled to present the useful with the entertaining
—the utility of the political, commercial and
agricultural concerns of our country, with the
amusing and edifying gems of literary and sci
entific intelligence w hich shall enrich and beau
tify our columns.
The literary department shall be unexcep
tionable. The most sedulous care will be taken
to exclude every article, original or selected, i
the least calculated to be obnoxious or prejudi- .
cial to the minds or morals of our fair readers:
and while it shall not contain
A line, a word, a single thought,
Which, dying, we Avould w ish to blot,
it will be our most ardent desire to render this [
portion of our paper valuable as well as arnus- j
ing: and we hope to be instrumental in incul-1
eating many an instructive moral lesson from '
its perusal. '
The political character of our paper will be,
though but partially devoted to that subject, de- j
eidedly republican, in the the strict original ac- ,
ceptation of that term. The herald of those '
principles which are so inseparably identified i
with Constitutional Liberty and the rights of
man, as explained by tht; Virginia and Ken
tucky Resolutions, and their contemporaneous
expositions, and as practically exemplified by
the democracy of many of our States. The
zealous advocate of Si ate Rights, the separate
Sovereignty and Independence of each State—
and as a rational consequence, the right of a
State to secede from the Union, at any time, or
under any emergency, consistent with its hon
or and the welfare of its people.
We are opposed to the present lawless and
despotic administration of the general govern
ment, and to the heir apparent —the odious prin
ciples of the Proclamation and the still more
abominable Force Bill, and to every species of
tyranny, usurpation or monopoly whatever.
Fhe commercial department of our paper
shall receive no inconsiderable portion of our
time and attention. We will make such ar
rangements as shall enable us to furnish the
very latest news of the rise and decline of our
great staple in European, as well as the most
important markets of this country. A review
of the principal articles of general consump
tion in the Hamburg and Augusta markets,
will be published weekly carefully corrected,
together with such observations oh those mar
kets as may be deemed necessary.
A portion of each paper will be devoted to
Agricultural essays—and in a few words, the
Galaxy and Advocate shall be the vehicle of
disseminating every kind of useful and inter
esting intelligence to its readers. It will be
printed on a new’ and beautiful type, on fine
white paper, of a super royal size—and neither
time nor expense will be spared in its general
arrangement and typographical execution. The
first number will be issued in September, or on
the first of October next.
Thus much we promise in the circumscribed
limits of a Prospectus, and we pledge ourself
that nothing shall be remitted to its full and fi
nal accomplishment.
Terms,—Three dollars in advance, or four
dollars if not paid until the expiration of the
year.
Advertisements will be inserted at the custom
ary rates.
Postmasters receiving this Prospectus, and
favorable to the principles and undertaking of
this paper, will be allowed ten per cent on all
subscriptions received and forwarded to us, by
acting as our Agents.
All letters or other communications, until
the above time, be directed, post paid, to IFm.

PROPO S A Ij s
FOR PUBLISHING IN THE VILLAGE OF CLARKSVILLE,
HABERSHAM COUNTY, AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLI
CAN NEWSPAPER, TO BE ENTITLED THE
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
DEVOTED TO
Politics, Agriculture, Internal Improvement,
l.iterature, «s»c. die.
IN offering our Prospectus to an enlightened
public, for a new paper, they will necessarily
expect us tosay somethingrespeetingthecour.se
we intend to pursue, as to matters and things
in general, as well as our political creed before
we invite them to patronize or support our un
dertaking. Therefore, in the first place, we
claim to be American by birth and principles—
friends of Liberty—the Constitution, and the
Union—warm advocates of State Rights and
State Remedies as understood and expounded
by Jefferson and Madison, and practised by
Troup. In short, without pledging ourselves
to a blind support ot any party, we shall endea
or to act up to what our title imports—expose
vice and corruption, emanating from whatso
ever source it may—to sustain every measure
having in view the common good, and to co
operate in the defence of the Sovereign Rights
of the State, so long as urged with Wisdom Jus
tice and Moderation, with all the zeal and abil
ity we possess. Our columns shall be open to
all well-written communicalions (from either
party) on any interesting subject, when they do
not attack private reputation, or domestic re
pose.—Yet, in vindication of such attacks(when
published elsewhere) they shall always be open
for the insertion of decent language. Finally,
we shall use our best endeavors to publish a
neat and splendid paper, on a large sheet, once
a week, to, contain such a variety of reading
matter as will prove to be highly useful and
interesting to every family, at THREE DOL
LARS per annum, payable half in advance, on
the receipt of the first No., or $4 at the expira
tion of the year —and from its reasonablwienns,
we anticipate it will have as general a circula
tion as any other newspaper in the State—We
have been kindly promised the assistance of an
intelligent gentleman who will aid us in the
political department. Our views are now be
fore the public, with a belief that this section of
the State requires an able advocate of “Free
Trade and Equal Rights”—and for the purpose
of disseminating such information as au ii»de- I
pendent and enlightened commun’?? r

THE KNICKERBOCKER,
OR THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
THIS Periodical having passed into the
hands of the undersigned, will hereafter be
issued with punctuality on the first of every
month, and in a style of typographical execu
tion, which it is designed shall not be surpassed
by any similar Periodical in this country. The
proprietors will use their endevors to avoid the
examples of their predecessors, in liberal prom
ises and scanty fulfilments. The work is here
after tudepend, rather upon the character which
it shall be able to acquire, than upon extraordi
nary announcements of the prospective excel
lence to which it is to arrive. The Editor will
receive in its subversion the constants assist
ance of his brother Willis Gaylord ClauKj of
Philadelphia; and no exertions will be left un
employed to render the work honorable to
American Periodical Literature, and accepta
ble to the public, whose patronage is only so
tar solicited as it shall seem to be deserved.
The original Tapers—which it is designed
shall be so varied, as to form a combination of the
sol id and useful with the entertaining and agree
able will be from literary pens of established
reputation, (both at home and abroad,) in dif
ferent cities and portions of the United States.
In addition to the original papers, liberal
space will be devoted, under the bead of LiTer
i ary Notices, to brief and candid reviews of new
works, of proper distinction, with such extracts

j southern magazine.
■ A Journal of Literature, Arts and Sciences.
WITH much diffidence, the subscriber
yields to the urgent recommendations of
• a number of his friends, in ofiering to the cn,-
I tirely unoevpied community of the South, the
! publication of a inonthly periodical under the
above title. He is too well acquainted with
the ill-success hitherto closing all similar under
takings, not to anticipate considerable difficulty
and opposition. The truth is not to be dis
guised, however inexpedient its expression by
an applicant for public favor, that there pie
i vails amongst us a censurable, and as man}’
, are disposed to think, an almost insuperable iii
j diffeience towards the cultivation of a purely
democratic literature. The bold and haughty
independence we assume and maintain on all
other points, if in this respect it does not shiink
from a competition with, is at least satisfied
under an indolent reliance upon the taste and
talent of others. Circumstances, moreover,
have contributed to excuse, it not to favor this
supineness. We shall not, we trust, be accused
oi presumption on our own part, or of disre
pect to our predecessors, in saving, that where
i m some cases, the latter have too largely drawn
upon the intelligence and leisure of their read
ers, and thus contracted the circle of their pat
! ronage, they have in others, with an over-san
guine anticipation, omitted the necessary’ pre
parations to ensure a vigorous and durable
prosecution of their undertaking. We have a
painful and murtitiying illustration of the form
er error in the late premature discontinuance
ot one of the ablest periodicals of the country
and the inadequacy ot' unassisted indiridual en
terpnze io supply even the limited demand it
met with, not merely in the quantity, but par
ticularly in the quality and the variety required,
has been too well tested by every successive
and irretrievable failure heretofore.
The \vork now’ jiroposed, is happily' free from
either of the dangers referred to. Entirely of
a miscellaneous character, it will be addressed
to every variety oi taste, without exacting from
its readers any farther attention than what their
ordinary leisure hours may afford. At the
same time, it will sednotisly endeavor to com-
I mingle in an agreeable and compendious form
the higher branches of the Arts and Sciences
'[Uh the lighter hut not less valued effusions of
j the Taste and the Fancy. And in all this it
may well hope for success, from the talent and
, learning enlisted in its behalf. Delicacy, how
ever, forbids a direct personal reference to the
I many distinguished individuals who have taken
• an interest in and are pledged towards its sup
port. 1

PROSPECTUS

The Southern lottery Messenger.
To BE DEVOTED TO EVERY DEPARTMENT OF LITERA-
TURE AND THE FINE ARTS.
■"T is a remarable fact, that, in all the South
-M. ern portion of our Union, there is not one
Journal ot a character exclusively literary.—

In the annals of the republic of len„ s th _
present maybe distinguished as the era of “i
nodical literature.” This circnm«°
truth, constitutes the litera.y worldSJh wi’ T

Jess gifted, though equally zealous worshi P „:
ot the sar.rcc camence,” are not compelled “tn
hide theirdiminished heads,” in the awful pres
ence of some M agog of literature, who main
tains despotic and undisputed sway over the
realms of intellect.
We shall not discuss the question whet her or
not this indicates a decline of literature. It is
however, strongly characteristic of the age.—
Mankind are now more engaged in the secarch
alter political truth, than in mere literary ele
gancies ami refinement. They are occupied in
discovering their rights; in wresing them from
hands which have so long unrighteously with
held them, amt all demonstrating the' «*rand
principle, that they are capable of Governin'’
themselves. They have just arisen from a Xep
oi centuries; and, with mighty energy they are
bending everything to this momen'tuous pur
pose. f
Literarv excellence is therefore no longer the
chief standard oi renown. This is not
literary excellence has descended in the<cale of
mtellectual e ertion, but because renown h«
now a noble and a loftier incentive. Literature
iioni being a queen, has condescended to bt a
handmaid the handmaid of liberty. But it is
not because literature is shorn of her dignity, or
ot her splendor; but because liberty has assnm
ed her thrown high above all other thrones.
On the man w-hose mind is purified from er
ror, and raised abne prejudice, by th- genial in
fluence oi literary pursuits, rests the task of
treeing his fellow man from the gloomy thral
dom ol ignorance, to which tyranny and enpidi

To effect this, he must not hesitate, or be dis
cern aged, because he is not in the front rank: he
should rather exult in the reflection that he may
co-operam with inaster spirits, in the comple

: long with their and will aid in aecomplishin.
i the glorious end ot “redeeming re<’ener uin ’
and disenthralling” the humaL race? &
Such is now the “prize of the high calling” of
htlerntme. Such is now the distinguished pre
rogative of literav men of every rank 1
