To THE PUBLIC,
TH ■' objefl of this pub ication
is to colleft , preferve and di/femi•
uate the mill valuable productions of
the Republican pen, in a'l parts of
'he Union ; the extreme necrjfily for
fuch a publication , and the beneficial
efetch which might refill from it .
if well conduced, will be readily
allowed .
I he American People have long
enough been impofed upon hy the
pretended impartiality of printers ;
1 it is all dlnjin ; every pa Y ty will
\have its punter % as well as every 1
fed its preacher ; and it is as in -1
congruous for a pub ication to be
a'lernatdy breathing the /pint of
two parties or for a parfon to preach
to his awheuce chrijliamty in the
morning , and paganifm in the even
ing ; it is me nfijlent as for a chief
m i gi fir ate to name an amhaffador
to fel lea difpute zvith a foreign
nation , and immediately to violate
the laws of civility , and make moc
kery of re h g;on t bv heaping upon
the fame nation and its red e/enta
lives, the vilfl philippics , fcurrilil\\
and abufe , in a froclamati n for a
day of fa fling and prayer:—Every
Editor who is capable o ftaring
above the fla iery of villainy , and
the adulation of folly t has too m ch
I at flake tn the con efi of liberty
again ft flarery, virtue agai fl vice ,
, and truth again/i fophiflry, to admit
\ of impartiality . ;
In the profccuticn of the plan of i
this work , it will be necejfary to i
take fo much of a retrofp dive view
of the affairs of the United States , I
and introduce fuch d >currents as will
tend to duci.date and expife the on-1
gm t progrefs , and aarnvng influ-'
ence if that fyfiem of tniqui y and
robbery bribeiy and opprrjfion ,
hypoenfv , and mjufhce , which may
I he traced from the a tmpt of Alex •

It is diffi ult in pu' fuing a courft
of fcru iny into the mea/ures of go
vernment, and deigns of men in
i;/fice t to draw a line of d m:rka-\
tu n between legal pander and per
fonal villainy public rapine , and
private intrigue ; whenever the
nature of enquiry will admit of it
per Jemal weaknefs and folly ought to
Ihe lightly touched , but when an
officer of government , conniving
puHtc fraud with private vice y at
the fame time % is wallowing in the
lop of infamy and revelling in the
peculation of the national treafury,
the regard for perfonal charcßer
ought to be Jacrijiced to public juf
ticc. ■
Being of the plan and
principles on which the national
magazine will he conduced, it only
remains for the people to be informed
of the particular matter which it
will contain t to enable them to deter
mine whether they will or will not
give it their fupport,
