COLUMBIAN CENT IN EL.
SATURDAY, JUXE 5.
NEW ARRANGEMENT.
CEXTI.YEL OFFICE ,
29?/i A/ay, 1809.
WITH a deep sense of the encou
ragement and liberal patronage that
tins paper has received since its first
appearance, the subscriber now returns
his sincerest thanks to the public for
their support. He is proud in the re
collection that at least he has endeavor
ed to merit it.
He henceforth declines all concern in
this paper.... The property in which and
the printing- business of this office he
has transferred to Mr. Samuel Ham
mond, junior.
He respectfully solicits from his
friends the continuance of that patron
age in his support, not doubting but that
he will make Independence his object,
Truth his guide, and Decency his com
panion.
He cannot close without congratulat
ing his countrymen at large on the pre
sent prospect in the political affairs of
the United States, and the succeeding
editor in particular, on the pleasing du
ty he will have, in bearing testimony to
tlie revived growth rnd renovated pios
perity of this land of freedom, agricul
ture and commerce, under die auspices
of an administration, that in its first step
evinces a spirit of moderation, free from
disingenuousness, and a wisdom, that
appearing to despise the cob-web arts j
of diplomacy, at once has met a frank j
atonement and a fair proposition, with
an honest face and a cordial desire for
reconcilement by honorabkmegociation.
GEO: F. RANDOLPH.
CEXTIXEI OFFICE ,
3rd June , 1809.
THE undersigned takes the liberty
of requesting the future patronage and
support of the public in conducting this
paper, lie will essav to deserve their
good opinion by a steady adherence in
politics to principles purely American;
in private disputes to forbearance and
decency, Sc in business, to correctness &-
dispatch. * These sheets have never yet
been stained with any thing that honor
could blush at, or virtue disapprove of.
He. pledges himself in these respects,
that they shall still uphold that character.
Remote as he is from the great scenes
of politics and commerce, he feels his '
duties not the less essential, although in
a limited sphere. To amuse, inform and
protect, shall be his pleasure and his
care. The seat of our general govern
ment is not alone that of power nor of
science.—These independent states,
confederated for external defence and
internal peace, and in all other regards
though unequal in size, numbers and
wealth, yet co-equal in rights, must
preserve within themselves those means
ot integral existence, necessary to give
them due weight in the sovereignty of
the nation. They must (acting from
their own centre) each guard against
the infringments of their sister states,
and the encroachmefttsof federal power,
in order to effect a benign and social
combination of the wh01e.... Amongst
the means by which enslaved states have
become (ree, and free ones have been
preserved, the Liberty of the Press
stands pre-eminent....Where vaunting,
the scourge of popular tyranny, or the
sword of despotism have ever prevailed.
I he state of Georgia has shone conspi
cuous in the ranks of freedom. She
has often felt the pang of adversity....
and she has triumphed in the smiles of
victory. She has been agitated by the
collision of parties ; but she has grown
from infancy to manhood, unimpaired
bv their convulsions. She lias with
others pined in the period of interdicted
activity....she has risen superior to all
these. 7 lie editor hails the present
time, and repeats cordially the preced
ing congratulations without the dread j
that they will he found irksome. The j
measures tiien that he shall support, I
unequivocally will be those that tend I
to harmonize the general and state gov
ernments. He views the latter as sub
stantial parts of the constitutional fab
rics, and the former as their cement |
and ornament. On public men and j
measures he shall freely comment, and j
whilst official public virtue receives his i
aid, official public vice shall meet his I
animadversions. The open violator of;
our rights shall be corrected, and the
insidious traitor .detected, whenever th«
one affords the occasion, or the other
an opening. In private controversies,
his duty will compel him to be the ve
hicle for public appeal; but lie will
strive to mollify. In the transaction of
his business he will vie with his co-tem
poraries in obtaining and preserving a
just proportion of the confidence of his
fellow citizens, on the same terms his
predecessor has done.
The Columbian Centinel will
continue to be sent to present subscri
bers as heretofore, unless otherwise
directed.

Upwards of fourteen thousand pieces of
Cotton Bagging have been received at the
island of Amelia, by recent arrivals from Great
Britain, in order to b« transported to the United
States after the 10th inst. This information
is derived from a respectable source.
Latest from Europe.'
A postscript to a letter from St. Bartholo
mews, dated the 28tn of April, contains the
important news which follows :
“ I open my letter to say, that by a vessel
yesterday from Liverpool, we have news to
the 28th ult. [8 days later than by the Ann] by
which it certainly appears, hostilities have com
menced between Austria and France, and that
peace between Russia and Britain is before
this supposed to have taken place.”
[iVew Turk Gazette, May 17th. ]
At Herculaneum (about 30 miles below St.
Louis, on the Mississippi) a shot manufactory
is now erecting by an active, enterprising citi
zen, of our territory ; the situation is peculiar
ly adapted for the purpose, having a natural
tower or a stupendous rock, forming a preci
pice of about 130 feet: having the lead mines
ir. the neighborhood, and one of the finest
harbors for vessels—we presume the pto'prie
tor will be enabled to supply the Atlantic states
on such terms as will defeat competition.
The culture of hemp has occupied the atten
tion of our farmers, anil aropewalk will short- j
ly be erected in this town. Thus we have
commenced the manufacturing of such articles
i as will attract thousands of dollars to our ter

! or Bonaparte of the trouble of manufacturing
for us. Missouri Gazette.
The Missouri Fur Company, lately for
med here, has every prospect of becoming
a source of incalculable advantage not onlv
to the individuals engaged in the enter
prize, but the company at large. Their
extensive preparations, and the respectable
forces they intend to ascend the Missouri with,
may bid defiance to any hostile band they may
meet with:—the streams which descend from
the rockey mountains afford the finest hunting,
and there, we learn, they intend to build their
