\niOSEECTUS
OF THE
4 WELL conducted Newspaper ifc
\ 0 f jrreat utility in any part of the
country; but the present flourishing
condition of Fort Hawkins renders it
doubly so at that place. The human
mind has never invented another meth
od bv which knowledge is so generally
diffused, nor one by which it costs so
little as that of a well conducted peri
odical publication. The Liberty of the
press is justly esteemed the palladium
of our rights ; but when prostituted to
the service of parti/ purposes,, is capa
ble of being the greatest evil in the
nation.—The Messenger will attach
itself to no party, but will contain as
much truth and as little error as may
be in the Euitor’s power to give to the
public.
TEEMS.

weekly, at three dollars a year in ad
vance, or four dollars it not paid v\ ithin

tinued (except at the option of the
Editor) till orders are given and all

Advertisements not exceeding a

tion, and fifty cents for each continu
ance—longer ones in proportion.
