PROSPECTUS
OF A NEW WEEKLY' PAPER, TO BE ENTITLED
THE FREE PRESS;
A Journal of News —Commercial, Literary and
Miscellaneous.
IMPRESSED with the conviction that
there exists a field in this city, as well
as in the Eastern District generally, for
a paper which will be devoted exclusive
ly to the above subjects, the undersigned
has determined to make every exertion to
furnish the community with a sheet pro
portionate to its wants. Waiving all in
tention of entering the Arena of Politics,
he looks with confidence to the support
and protection of the intelligent and the
liberal of all parties.
This city possesses already two diurnal
prints of opposite sentiments, and we sup
pose them sufficiently capable of express
ing the tone and the feeling of the par
ties that divide the State ; but it will, it is
presumed, be readily admitted, that the
turmoil of political warfare, and the limit
ed space of a Daily .Paper, renders it, in
a great measure, inadequate to the task
of catering for the literary appetite of our
people; besides, a Weekly Journal has
many advantages which are denied to a
Paper which ia published more frequent
ly. It can be made more cheap— more
miscellaneous—more copious, and be
fraught with more useful knowledge—to
a large class of readers—namely, those
who are so entirely occupied by their dai
ly avocations, that they have but one day
in the week to bestow on reading and cul
tivating their minds. Such men form
the main bulwark of our country’s liber
ties—from their ranks are often drawn,
by the irresistible power of genius, indi
viduals who reflect lustre on the Bar, the
Bench, the Senate, and the Pulpit,—and
to such men we must, in a manner, look
for a perpetuation of those blessings which
Providence has so plentifully showered
on our happy land. Then, we say, the
duty devolves on society of fostering
works that will have the effect of bright
ening the intellect, exalting the mind and
enlightening the understanding of this
valuable, body of men.
Holding these views, thus cursorily
glanced at, we seek the patronage of the
Merchant, the Mechanic, the Scholar and
the philanthropist, in our undertaking,
, satisfied, in our own mind, that they shall
receive an equivalent for the countenance
they may think proper to bestow.
It has been often remarked that the
most prodigal in promises, are generally
the least active in performance ; the re
petition of this remark, without opposi
tion, has given us such a veracious cha
racter, that our lips shall be sealed, dread
ing the common penalty of the thought
less, after giving the following brief sy
nopsis of the conditions and terms on
which The Free Press will be usher
ed into existence.
News—Under this head will be em
braced the latest intelligence, both Fo
reign and Domestic. The present criti
cal state of affairs, as well on the Euro
pean Continent, as in England and Ire
land, demands the attention of the Amer
ican people. The earliest accounts from
those quarters will be laid before our rea
ders, accompanied by such comments as
the occasion may require. In fact, every
section of the Globe shall be made tribu
tary to our columns in this department.
Commercial.—Our Prices Current
will give, in a small compass, a weekly
view of the state of the Savannah Market,
and a Record of the various important
commercial transactions in all parts ofthe
Union. An account of arrivals and de
partures of Shipping, with other Marine
matter, will also be found in The Free
Press.
Literary.—This will be, by far, the
most striking feature in our Journal. E
very field will be traversed, and every a
venue that can be thought to
lead to those sacred retreats, where- Liter
ature loves to hide herself from the vul
gar gaze, that her labors may be render
ed conducive to the public weal. A Cri
tical Notice shall be given of every New
Work of Merit, whether the offspring of
“Our own Country,” or exotics trans
planted from a foreign clime; and our pa
ges will be enriched by judicious extracts
from their contents. Original Corres
pondence will be encouraged, native ta
lent supported, and Science and Learning
will always obtain the feeble, though sin
cere advocacy of the conductor of The
Free Press.
Anecdotes, humorous and historical,
and Poetry, original and selected, will be
certain of a corner.
Communications will be received and
published on every subject of a local cha
racter.
Law and Police Reports.—lt is in
tended that every case of interest, of a ci
vil or criminal nature,which occurs in our
Courts of Law or Police, shall be care
fully reported, and placed before the pub
lic eye. Hitherto these matters have been
neglected; their importance is so n-.ani
fest, that it is unnecessary to say more
than that we shall spare neither time nor
labor to do justice to their merits.
Marriages, Obituaries, &c. will be
inserted.
TERMS.
The Free Press will be printed on
a good-sized sheet, with clear type, at the
low price of THREE DOLLARS per
Annum, and be published on every Sa
turday.
*#* Payment in advance, when the first
No. is delivered.
