THE universal promulgation of

j, liberty. Where ignorance reigns there
vice triumphs and deipovifm governs. As

virtue are the bale* of freedom—the one

tbst in a FefuLUe it is abfolmely ncceflary
that roireiil information fliou'd be widely
diffufed aud eafiiy obtained : For r/xre ’tis
the ft'jple who govern. They never inten
tionally choose bad leaders or approve wrong
measures, yet they are liable to error—give
them true details and they will jui'gc tor
rrdfly—for o v. plain grvunJt the people al
ways from juf ipiniom : whenever they mil
take their cwn interests ’tis owing entirely
to want of information in the many or want
of liooefty in tlie/rve. But extnfive politi
cal information is not to be acquired without
much labour, and few have leisure to study
the fyfteins,.compare the opinions and pc
rufe the psges of Locke, Sydney, Gibbon,
Hume and Vattel. If an acquaintance with
the true principles of government and duties
Os a citizen could be acqu : red only from
huge folios & diffufe treatises, it would be
seldom fought or if fought, the plough, the
hatchet, and the saw nmtl stand still. Seme
cheaper and easter means of fatisfying cuii

cheapness and convenience united with more
tdvantage, than in the tlofcly printed col
umns of the humble News -paper? Our
countrymen appear lb well convinced of
thf uiefulnefi of pciicdical prints and have
fu V«jr liberally encouraged them, that we
deem it unncccflary to insist on their merit,
and almofl heiitate to fequeft public patron
