f|| V OL. VI, No. 31q] Three dollars per annum. J PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL HAMMOND, NORTH BROAD-STREET, (Half in advance NEW ARRANGEMENT. CEjYTIMEL office , 29 th May, 1809. WITH a deep sense of the encou ragement and liberal patronage that this paper has received since its first appearance, the subscriber new returns his sincerest thanks to the public for their support. He is proud in the recollec tion that at least he has endeavored to merit it. He henceforth declines all concern in this paper.... The property in which and the printing business cf this office lie 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 the revived growth and renovated pros perity of this land of freedom, agricul ture and commerce, under the 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 of diplomacy, at once has met a frank atonement and a fair proposition, with an honest face and a cordial desire lor reconcilement by honorable regocia tion. GEO: F. RANDOLPH. CEMTLYEL OFFICE, 3rd June, 1809. THE undersigned takes the liberty of requesting the future patronage and support of the public in conducting this paper. He will essay to deserve their good opinion by a steady adherence in politics to principles purely American ; in private disputes to forbearance and decency, and in business, to correctness and dispatch. These sheets have never yet been stained with any thing that honor could blush at, or virtue disap prove of. He pledges himself in these ' respects, that they shall still uphold that character. Remote as he is from the great scenes ot politics and commerce, he ieels his duties not the less essential, although in 1 a limited sphere. To amuse, inform & j 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 of 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 encroachments of federal power, in order to effect a benign and social combination of the wh01e.... Amongst the mears by which enslaved states have become free, 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. The state of Georgia has shone conspi cuous in the ranks of freedom. She has often feit the pang of adversity.... and she has triumphed in the smiles of victoiy- She has been agitated by the collision of parties ; but she has grown from infancy to manhood, unimpaired by their convulsions. She has with others pined in the period of interdicted activity....she has risen superior to all these. The editor hails the present time, and repeats cordially the preced ing congratulations without the dread that they will be found irksome. The measures then that he shall support, untqteivocally will be those that tend to harmonize the general and state gov ernments. He views the latter as sub stantial parts of the constitutional fab- AUGUSTA, GEO KOI A. ties, and the former as their cement and ornament. On public men -nml measures he shall freely comment, and whilst official public virtue receives his aid, official public vice shall meet his animadversions. The open violator of our rights shall be corrected, and the insidious traitor detected, whenever the 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 he will strive to mollify. In the transaction of his business he will vie with Ids co-tem poraries in obtaining and preserving a just proportion of the confidence of his fellow citizens, on the same terms his predecessor lias done. The Columbian Centinel will continue to be sent to present subscri bers as heretofore, unless otherwise directed. SAMUEL HAMMOND, Jun’k. Attention! THE Subscribers, had the misfor tune of being swindled, out of a quantity of Cotton, some time ago, at a store in the city of Charleston, which was made public in South-Carolina and Georgia, by advertisements, in differtn- Newspapers. They have had the great er misfortune, in their anxiety and zeal to discover .the swindler, unjustly, and rashly, to form a suspicion, that Doc tor George A. Brown, of Wrightsbo rougb, in Columbia county, and State of Georgia, was the person, who com mitted the fraud ; and at a religious congregation of citizens, at the house of Wm. Halbert, Esq. in Pendleton District, S. C. publicly charged him with the act. Dr. Brown, like a man of honor and integrity, fully convinced us of our great mistake, and error, and in con sideration of our being poor men, that we had been actuated by mistake, and not malevolent motres, has charitably and generously forgiven us. While we acknowledge, that Dr. Brown has it in his power to ruin every individual of us, and distress our families; we vo» luntaiily come forward and do solemn ly declare in open Court, at Pendleton Court-house, and to ail the world, our mistaken and erroneous conduct, to wards the said Dr. George A. Brown. We testify his innocence, we thank him for his honorable and gentlemanly con duct, and we declare our regret and sor row, for the injuries his feelings may have sustained; we are fully satisfied, that Doctor George A. Brown, is a man of the first respectability ‘of an excellent character, and that his con duct in life from childhood has been ir reproachable. We can neither say or do, too much to redress the feeling of Dr. Brown, or to vindicate his name and character. We never will forget his honor and generosity in forgiving us for the wrong we have inadvertantly done him, which we believe arose from the similarity of features, between the person who swindled and cheated us out of our property, and the features of the said Dr. George A. Brown. We desire that this declaration may be made public in the Newspapers of Charleston, S. C. and Augusta, in Georgia, at our expence, for the space j of three months ; and recorded in the j Clerks Office, in Pendleton District, | S. C. and Columbia county- in the State | of Georgia.
