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.” CONDITIONS.
