" A. case similar to the Triton's, men-
tioned in my lefter of 31st August, has just
occurred.
" The Horizon, Jenkins, of Nevvbern, N.
C. went in (confessedly) horn Harbados or
Dominica to Gusdakmpe, with the pro-
ceeds of his outward cargo, invested partly
ia produce of the tormer island, and the re-
nt under in cash and bills. The cash was
st tted at about 4 or 500 dollars, and which
wa. found on board.
•' It is true there was no proof of the
bills so taken, but the captain's oath ; and
the caryo he took in at Guadaloupe was
therefore considered as in part procured by
int re catth than he confessed taken from an
English to an enemy's island; and the remain-
der French property on freight.
'• The condemnation, however, of both
vessel and cargo, except that part of the
latter taken in at Barbados, reserved for fiir-
th-.t'co/isiderations, went ' on the indirectness
-of the voyage as in the case of the Triton.
"¦ Another similar to the foregoing, has
recently taken place, in that erf the Friend-
ship."

Editor, feeling, with the deepest regret, the
deficiency of ids early instruction, has, in the
intervals of mechanical toil, heretofore labored
to improve every moment to catch a glimpse of
the great light of knowledge, and endeavored,
with the most anxious care, to form an ac-
quaintance with thehistoiy and political insti-
tutions of his country. Such degree of know-
ledge as he has beeji able to attain, has at least,
be trusts, been sufficient to inspire him with a
love of virtue and his country, and a sincere
admiration of that system of republican go-
vernment which Ion been planned and trans-
mitted to us by the illustrious patriots of the
Revolution. To guard and preserve the tem-
p'e of liberty, which they erected, from (he
rode hand ol open violence, and to screen its
altars from the proianation of the ambitious,
requires the constant and watchful care of eve-
ry votary of (l.« Goddess. The Editor, in no
affected strain, avows an enthusiasm In tlie
cause of the liberties of tlie people, and is de-
sirous to devote himself to their service in any
honorable way inwhich he might hope to be
useful. To eouei'icl 11 vehicle, by which shall

rives its chief sanction, and hence the neces-
sity that the pics -.tiotiid adhere in auits pub-
lications to truth, and to the dispersion of
those principles uionc which are morally and

Newspapers, avowedly established for the
purpose of dessominating party principles and

ety. They are the hirelings of defamation,
and the pernicious engines of faction and cor-
ruption. IV hat salutary aid can the mind of
111.n; derive from publications, whose aim is,
in spite j}f the common sense and common ex-
porience of all, boldly to impress it with the
conviction that all orthodoxy is centered in one
set of men, and all hereby in another >. whose
I sole object is an equally ni.iiseriminale exalta-

At no period in the history of our country
did the times more imperiously demand the
institution of a press, which, founded on
strong republican principles, and elevtaed a-
bove tile infectious uiinosphere of party spi-
rit, should 'pros:. 111 to the public attention, a
candid view of affairs, and a manly cxpres-i-

longer blindly to .pursue tlie plans of party spi-
rit, wish to stop before they go too far, ami
a'iopt a more safe, jast, and a wiser rule of
conduct' Where men are free 10 think and
act, an honest difference of opinion may be
expected to arise, dictated by the best aids of
the understanding, and sanctioned on both
sides, by sentiments of patriotism and general
philantropiiy. It is not then, a candid inher-
ence of opinion that creates unworthiness,
but the bigoted pursuit of that opinion, pro-
nouncing every dissent' r impious, and every
non-contormistto its tenets anenemy to the ci-
tizens and the state.
The distinguishing characteristics of a free-
man under arapubhcaiiforniof government, are
the rights of enjoying, and the unrestrained
expression of bis opinions. To be robbed of
the one, or checked in the exurcise of the o-
ther, ought justly to be considered as the
most giiivous oppression. II a party were, to
proclaim that all those who differed in opinion
from them should be deprived of the right
of suffrage, or ttse possession of prop.-i ty,
the open avowal of such a sentiment would
m, rshal all the passions of opposition and pro-
duce general commotion. Yet the intolerance
ot party sirit, by secret agency and latent
means, effects the same object without incur-
ring a similar risk. Whenever experience
.ant! observation proclaim it as an established
truth, that none hut men of a particular party
or sect at* admitted to the participation of the
pit1 die confidence and trust, it acts as a bribe to
corrupt public opinion, and deprives the citi-
..'.e.'ot his independence, and with it his inte-
grity. Once let the pretensions of worth and
merit be discarded, and let it be established as
a principle that popular confidence and civil
trust are the certain rewards of a sectary, and
a conflict instantly arises between ambition
and independence, which never fails to termi-
nate in the servile surrender of the latter
Aided by these lights,- which the observa-
tion of hot:; and. the experience of past times
have fiimised, it is proposed to establish a
press fo* the purpose of giving a more exten-
sive range to republican principles ; to pro-
duce an increased ardor in the public feeling
towards free government, and to reprobate
the folly and vice the of party enthusiasm and in
.tolerance. Th« people at large engaged injthe
various avocr.tioosot life, have neither the lei-
sure :ioi titemeai s ofobtaining a minute know-
ledge of pubhc affairs. Those amonget them,
who, more fortunate than the rest, have it in
their power to acquire correct information, do
net, perhaps, findll tiieir interest to dissemi-
nate it amengt their fellow citizens. Thus,
instead of a just .and correct view of things,
the people too frequently are either wholly un-
informed, or, if they have received any im-
pressions on political subjects, they have been
derived from those heralds of misrepresenta-
tion which everywhere infest the couutry,
and from the unprincipled calumnies of pally
writers. To correct this enormous evil, to
relieve the minds of the people from the abo-
minable shackles of pany spirit, and to afford
them an unmisty medium, through which
they may view the real state of things, and be
enabled to judge fairly of the conduct of their
rulers, the proposed establismeuL has been
contemplated.
The editor offers to his fellsw-citizens, a
weekly paper, adarted to their leisure and
their purses, which he will conduct with the
best exertion of his.humble tali ills, and with
the most zealous care and attention. The ear-
liest statement shall be made of the measures
and conduct of our public functionaries, in
the state i.overnmen! as well as in the govern-
ment of the union, upon every case which
may he supposed materially to concern the
rights or interestsuif the people. The pro-
ceedings of the stale legislature and of con-
gress together with the most important and
interesting debates, shall be regularly given
as they eecur All momentous foreign intel-
ligence, when it becomes disentangled from
contradiction, and appears sufficiently aufiu n-
ticated, shall be inserted in a concise manner.
For the instruction and amusement of the rea-
der, will he introduced all such tracts, ex-
tracts, essays and sketches on everv Hubject
of useful and ornamental science, as the ge-
nius of correspondents, or the industrious re.
search otthe editor, may furnish. Olt'paiiltS
of honorable controversy, from which plea-
sure or improvement may be derived, between

suit be has been as stii cessli;]. as he could
hayehVipetl: but, separated ifolr, his friends,
; and esti ang>'d Irtun the scenes & objects of bis
enrly attachment, he cannot feel the tranquility
01 contentment in a situation where, he can hope
for little more than the means of ordinary
support. He is also free to confess that his
mind is not void of holiest ambition, and that
it prompts him to seek a sphere for the exer.
tion of bis humble talents somewhat more ex.
t'-nd-.-d than the mere mechanical department
of his profession, to which ho has been bred.
If, then, he shall receive, in his new design,
the patronage and support of his fellow-citizei-.K
of the eastern shore of Maryland, and particit,
larly of his own county, be will have cause, to
feel a manifold attachment to his native state,
and be bound to them by the strongest ties of
gratitude.
But it may, perhaps, be deemed by some
pcrshis necessary, that the Editor should here
make a pal ticulai confession of his own political
faith. Short as has been the course of his
observation, it has been sufficient to convince
him that true patriit'ism and a disintereste I
regard to the interests of the people, are not
always to be loon 1 where the pretentions to
them are most loudly claimed. When he looks
abroad to ether countries, and views, in a brief
re: wpect, the changes, the revolutions, and
the usurpations winch have tsfcetl place in the
present age j when he sees too, that tlie
cloak of liberty has been so frequently thrown
about the horror* of tyranny j and tin, 11, v hen
he turns h'S mind inward to his own country,
and ivvolvesthe history of its parties, its party
professions, and its party measures, he hesi-
tates, nay, he will forever refuse to give his
implicit confidence to any set of men who in:y
be in the administration of public affairs. He
can only promise to approve and applaud when
his judgment discovers to liim the interests of
the people promoted by th'dr measures ; and
