PROPOSAL'S
}'• v DANIEL STARNES (f? Cos.
lor pubiijbin* by Jubfcriptlon, a week
ly news-paper, in the City of An
a, ia be entitled
MIRROR OF THE TIMES.
TH'L univerfal promulgation of
tru'b, and the general dsftribution
c f knowledge, are obje<sls of the
fi r ft: importance in every country
where liberty has left traces of her
footfleps, under every government
which confabs die happinefs of man.
Knowledge,'* faid the great Lord
Bacon, “ is power, united with
virtue” it is certainly liberty.—
“Where ignorance rt’gns there viefc
triumphs and defpotifm governs. ~
As man becomes enlightened ati
rherity will be limited and morality
reftored. Knowledge and virtue
are the bans of freedom—the one
inftrufts us in our rights, the other
reaches us our dutiesthe firft (hews
m how to conftruft the belt pofiible
form of government, the laft re
quires us to obey it when conftruft
td. It is therefore advantageous
every where, but in a Republic it is
ahfoliicsly necdf.iry, that correct in
formation firould be widely di fib fed
and csfily obtained ; For there ’tis
the people who govern. They never
intentionally choofe bad leaders of
approve wrong meafiwe, yet they
a:e liable to error—give them true
derails and ‘ hey will judge corre.dll/
—fo r on plain grounds the people al
ways form juft opinions-, whenever
they miftake their own inter?ft *cis
owing entirely to want of informa
tion m the many or want of honefty
jn the few. But ex ter five pohrical
information is not to be acquired
without much labour, and few have
kufure to ftudy the fyftems, com
pare the opinions* and pernfe the
pages of Locke, Sydney, Gibbon,-
Hume and Vatrri. If an acquaint
ance with the true principles of
government and duties of a citizen
could be acquired only from huge
. folios and diffufe treatifes, it would
be feldom fought, or if fought, the
plough, the hatchet, and the. fav/
mini hand Rill. Some cheaper
eaftcr means of fatisfying curi Try
and procuring information mutt
therefore be lo bed for ; and'where
L intelligence, cherpnefs and con
venience united with more advan
tage, than In the clofely printed’
columns of the humble News pa
per ? Our countrymen appear fo
well convinced of the ufefulneis of
periodical prints, and have fo very
liberally encouraged them, that we
deem it lift on their
men*, and almou htfitate to re
quell public patronage for another
Newf-paper rilablifhment.
We can promt lie little except
what attention, honefty and indoftry
can perform. The principles of
our paper, like our own, will be
Republican, u but the fame freedom
of opinion which we claim for our
felv.es, we wifii a!) others to erj v.”
Civil and lLi gious liberty is the
birth right of every man, and he
who will not extend the fame in
dulgence fo all parties, and ail Tufts,
which he wifhes fer his owr, is al
ready or deferves to be a Have.
To fupport Religion and Moral
ity will be our pride—to encourage
literature our endeavor—no com
munications calculated to do either
will be refuffd ; no hint will be ne
giefted. In a free country it is nc
ceffary rliat the law fhould be nei
ther vague nor unknown, all public
sfh of the State legiflatur*, will
therefore be pubiilhed as they cemc
to hand.
The M{RR r R ff the Times will
br open toy?// who canvafs public
sxieafurc decency, and in ex
amining the concu&of individuals,
rs officers of government —it wsil
know — f< No Party but my Country,
No Friend but Truth.”
