TUESDAY EVENING, Sp.ptember 28,

TO OUR?ATUONS.
We feel pleasure in presenting the Sa
vannah Republican to its Patrons this
, ‘
day, in an enlarged form, and an entirely
new dress, and no ptiins have been omitted
ncin. We most sincerely hope that we
will continue in the atlVctions of our fel
low-citizens, and humbly trust, by the
blessings of heaven, that our exertions
will he useful to our country.
During our editorial labors wc have
seen our beloved country contending for
her Rights and liberties in u war with n
powerful and arrogant nation—ami,thanks
lie to the Almighty Ruler of the Universe,
wc have been permitted to behold her tri
umphant, maugre all the machinations of
her internal enemies ! Now she reposes
in the armso" peace, with commerce, ma
nufactures and the concomitant benefits
resulting from their successful and increas
ed operations. The American canvass
spreads its bosom to the breeze of every
sen; and our flag commands respects and
admiration from the people of every clime
to which it is extended. The produce aiul

The Republican was established at aa
epoch which loudly called upon cveryRc-
publican to do his duty. It was a struggle
between Federalism and Democracy, and
required all tlio energies of the latter to
regain that ascendancy, from which it had
been driven by apostates from *76 priuci
pies. A benevolent Provideuce, which
delights in the liberty and happiness of hu
man creatures, gave the victory to the
people, and once more announced to the
world that they were the sovereign. To
wards this revolution the Republican con
tributed its quota, and lias not sinccuttered
a sentiment at variance With the cause.
As it Was then, it ia^now, and will be so
long as it continues uuder its present aus
pices. It has but one course to pursue,
and that is a straight forward one, to the
confidence and governed good of Demo
cratic Republicans. It lias not, as yet,
by any intentional aberration from the
good old cause, forfeited its claim to cither,
and God forbid it should in any of its fu
ture operations. It will contribute to the
last gasp to support men of the people,
and measures in which the people only can
be interested. It will promote no man’s
aggrandizement at their expencc, or ad
vocate any man who has not uniformly,
consistently and bravely adhered to and
supported the principles of that revolution,

any kind of aid from the boosted “ talents

These are among the leading articles of
the creed which obtained friends and pa
trons for this paper, and it is a creed which
will still be found scattered through its
columns. t
In the suggestions and strictures whicli
have filled our editorial department for the
last thirteen years (the time which we
have had it under our guidance,) We have
meant to be honest and open ;
true to our fixed principles, and to the
cause of our country, yet it is impossible
that these have given universal satisfac
tion—“ For that very zeal which results
from our own temperaments, and our own
conviction of the necessity of warmly sup
porting the holy cause of freedom,” men
of cooler feeling will blame as a zeal, too
jMkrdcnf, while others consider our very
ardor coolness, from a superior san
guineness. In this case, then, we have no
resort, except in the candor of our pa
trons. • “ What is wclliricant, we are sure
will be well received," and that assurance
quiets our apprehensions, and enlivens our
hopes. We flatter ourself that, few will
accuse us of having intentionally swerved
in thought, word or deed from our duty, as
a Republican Editor. "VVe have doubtless
often erred, but our conscience does not
upbraid us with haying wilfully gone
astray. Wc are also gratified in believing
that our political opponents (many of
whom wo love, and respect) have little oc
casion to reproach us with descending to
the propagiiti on of calumny, substituting
inveefivo for argument, or wantonly
wounding the private feelings of indivi
duals. At the same time they will allow
that we have not shrunk from a fair and
open contest with them, nor hesitated to
declare our real sentiments through fear of
their frowns, or desire of tlieir favors.
As sentinel on the ramparts of liberty, we
shall contrive to watch the insiduous foe
who may attempt to annihilate Cur repub
lican energies, which gave birth to our
country. To her enemies wc have no
terms to offer—with the oath of Hannibal

By the follownig letter from an ofi
in the Colombian service, who arri
here in the brig M est Indian, on his t
to England, it will be seen that the for
of Bofivar in Peru are rapidly incrcasi
and there is every probability of his s<

Savannah, Sept 22(7,182.
Dear Sir—As I have seen some erroi
ous statements in the papers of this plai
rcspectihg the affairs of Peru, I liavc tl
honor to inform you, that on the 5th of Jt
ly last, the Intcndcnt of Magdalena, Gel
eral Soublctte received an official comini
uication from Gen. Carinc, Intenumii o
Panama; stating .that by the last advices
from Bolivar, he was then nt the head of
12,000 Infantry, arid 1500 Cavalry; the
Spanish Gen. Olincta, having passed over
to him with 2,300men.—1,200were in Pa
nama ready to embark, and a division of
3,000 had sailed from Valparaiso to join
him, making his aggregate force of 17^700
men. Callao was nt that time rigidly
blockaded. Bolivqr was at Tmxillo, and,
the Spanish Gen. Ganternc, in Lima; the
distance of 45 lqagubs. Two expeditions,
the one from Porto Cahello and the other
Panama wit^a force of loOO men. Can-
terac has only 9000, andshould he be fool
ish enough to risk an action/ the friends of
Liberty may anticipate the result—but as
he is in possession of all Upper Peru, he
may coutinue a desultory Guirilla warfare
for some time.
Cantcrac is a'Frenchman and a strong
constitutionalist, whereas, Olineta was com
sidered as very bjgottcd to the old'govern
ment. Previous to his passing over to Bol
ivar, lie had been appointed to the Chief
command, but the Generals and Chiefs re?
fused to serve under him-—great dissention
seems to prevail amongst them.
I have the honor to be &c. &c.
