WITH a deep sense of the encou rage meat and liberal patronage that this paper has received since its first appearance, the subscriber new returns his sinccrest thanks tothe public for their support, tie 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 ill which and the printing business ot this office he has transferred to Mr. Samukl Plam mond, junior. He respectfully solicits from his friends the continuance of that patron age in Ins support, not doubling 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 edioor 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, 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 for reconcilement by honorable negotia tion. GEO: F. RANDOLPH. CEjVTIXEL 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 upmion 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 th»t character. Remote as lie is from the great scenes of politics and commerce, he leels his duties not the less essential, although in a limited sphere. To amuse, inform & 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 weabh, 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 federalpower, in order to effect a benign and social combination of the wh01e.... Amongst the means 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 felt ttie 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 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, unequivocally will be those that tend to harmonize the general and state gov ernments. He views the latter as sub aUntial parts of the constitutional fab- AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. rics, and the former as their cement and ornament. On public men and measures he shall freely comment, and whilst official public virtue receives his aid, official public viie 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 lit 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 lias clone. The Columbian Ckntinkl will continue to be sent to pi rsent subscri bers us heretofore, unless otherwise directed. SAMUKL II AMMOND, Jun’r. Brigade Orders, 24,'/; June , 1809. '’TTIE Brigadier Genera! of the Ist JL Brigade of the 2d Division ol Georgia Militia, having received Or ders from the Major-General, to dis charge his quota of the Three Thou sand Two Hundred and Forty-two Mi litia of this State,” which were lately called for by the President of the Uni ted States. Lieutenant Colonel Walker, of the 10th, Lieutenant Colonel Beal, of the lltli, and Lieutenant Colonel Stilh, of the 12th Regiments, belonging to said Brigade, will proceed without delay to discharge that part of said quota, which was detached from their respective re giments. In doing so, they will pre sent “ the thanks of the President of the United States, to those corps, whose patriotism induced them to volunteer their services, to the detachment gen erally, the sincere thanks of the com mander in chief, for the alacrity with which they have obeyed the call of their country; and to the officers and men un der their respective commands, the Ma jor-General’s most cordial approbation of their conduct for their promptitude on all occasions wherein they have been required to prepare for war, as well as his congratulations on the pleasing prospect of a termination of our differ ences with foreign powers, without re pairing to the field,” The Brigadier General would do in jury to his own feelings as well as in justice to the officers and men under his command, were he, at this time, to withhold an expression of his decided approbation of their conduct, he will not, on the present occasion, refrain from felicitating them and his country on the grateful prospects that are again dawning upon our land. By vrdcr of Brigadier General THOMAS GLASCOCK. F. WALKER, Aid-dc-Camfi. July 1. St 102— THE BOARD~of TRUS TEES of the Richmond Academy, at their meeting on Monday last, rescin ded their Resolution respecting St. Paul’s Church, and appointed two of their members, together with the sub scriber, a Committee to wait on the present Pew-holders, to know if they were willing to relinquish their exclu sive right to the Pews ’till January next, under the late leasing, for the purpose of having the seats in Church free to all persons who choose to wor ship there. And the subscriber feels a pleasure in stating, that most of the Pew-holders have already been called upon and have freely and cheerfully relinquished their claims under the late leasing; and lit tle doubt exists, that the very few, who remain, will do the same when they can be seen. He therefore feels gratified in announcing an arrangement, which, making the seats in Church free to all persons, and leaving the congregation the choice of their preacher, will doubt less give general satisfaction to those who fee! an interest in the subject.
