The Editor of tbs Georgia Exprefs

Utn- of improving the eflablifoment,

The local fituation of this eflablifh-
Kisnt affords fever al obvious advanta
ges to its patrons. The Editor re
ceives the earliefi intelligence from
JVafhingfon city and New-Orleans ;
and is enabled, from rxijling arrange
ments, to communicate fitch intelli
gence to any part of this State, thro 1
tee medium of this Gazette, vuich
fc iner them the fame can he communi
cated from any other prefs in the
Union.
Thcfs ccnfideraticr.s have induced
tee Editor to endeavor tr. render the
utility of the eflablifhmsnt a; univer
jcdly beneficial as his geographical ad
vantages do manifejily facilitate. —•
kf it bout fame additional patronage,
however, from a generous and libei al
pitalic, the propojed improvement of
tins paper will eventually prove a
bortive.
The fat all fcale on which it has
heretofore appeared, chiefly owing to
a very iimitted patronage, has pre
vented a more copious detail of do
wefiic, as well as of foreign aff airs ;
and, to get by with other circumjl an
tes, have, in a manner, wholly de
prived the Editor of the plea furs of
inferting original matter.
But he is (Hit difpefod to anticipate
that, the labor and expends be no w
propojss to bsfaow on tbs e/i a bit foment,
will, in fame degree, merit the addi
tional patronage of a liberal and en
lightened people ; and in preport ion to
the fupport be may receive, he fiat ter s
bimfelf that he will be enabled to meet,
in the execution of his duty, the weft
Jangutne anticipations of thefe who
may favor him with their patronage.
Fr.fa fang thefe principles which
dijlingWjh the real friend to his coun
try, he disclaims all exotic attach
ments, and all partialities in favor
cf foreign nations, which can only be
at ‘ended ultimately with fatal confe
fences, lie deems the government cf

MANY SHALL RUN TG> AND FRO, AND KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED,
ck thisJubjefl, nor any thing further
Gan to ebjerve that the Editor will,
at all times, endeavor to keep in view
tbs true dijilnSlion between the liberty
and licentiousnefs cf the prefs,—and
to effiefl this, will abfinin, as far as
poffible, from all participation, either
in the Jympathies or antipathies of
private animojities, or cf the feuds of
public parties.
To inveftigate -public meafares free

tempted, for the amufement and infor
mation of his patrons. But no public
officer jhall be denounced, ttnlefs a pal
pable dereliflion from duty, jufported
by legal evidence, floall make it necef
f*ry. To purfue an impartial courfe,
on a line of rectitude, will be his en
deavor, —to obtain the public confi

and ambition. ‘Thefe Jheets (hall ne

On thefe principles he folic)ts the
friendly co-operation cf his cotempo

rous and liberal public.
