Prospectus of A New
WEEKLT PAPER,
. ThePEOPLE'sMONITOR,
To be published 'it Ration, Maryland,
By MICHA2L EINKIND.
JT-.THE title winch tire Editor thus assumes
for his projected publication, may perhaps in-
duce an imputation oi' vanity and presumption,
reprobate
"?a? folly ajid vice the of party eiiiiuuijasii} m* ill
tolerance. The people atlargeengsgcdin file
various avocatiousof life, have neither the lei-
sure iior the means of obtaining a minute kno w-
ledge of public affairs. Those ainomrsltheir.,
who, more fortunate than the rest, have it in
their power to acquire correct information, do
net, perhaps, find it their interest to dissemi-
nate it amungt their fellow citizens. Thus,
instead of a just and correct view of tilings,
the people too frequently are either wholly un-
informed, or, if they have received any im-
pressions on political subjects, theyhave been
derived from those heralds of misrepresenta-
tion which every where infest the country,
and from the unprincipled calumnies of party
writers. To correct this enormous evil, to
relieve the minds of the people from the abo-
minable shackles of party spirit, and to afford
thein an unmisly medium, through winch
they may view the real state of things, and be
enabled to judge fairly of the conduct of their
rulers, the proposed establisment has been
contemplated.
The editor offers to his fellow-citizens, a
weekly paper, adapted to their leisure and
their purses, which he will conduct with the
best exertion of his humble talents, 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 government as well as in the govern-
ment of the union, upon every case which
may be supposed materially to concern the
rights or interests of the people. Tile pro-
ceedings of the state legislature and of con-
gress together with the most important and
interesting- debates, shall be regular!) given
as they occur. All momentous foreign intel-
ligence, when it becomes disentangled from
contradiction, and appears sufficiently authen-
ticated, shall be inserted in a concise Manner.
For the instruction and amusement of the rea-
der, will be introduced all such tracts, ex-
tracts, essays and sketches on every subject
of useful and ornamental science, as the ge-
nius of correspondents, or the industrious re-
search of the editor, may furnish. On points
of honorable controversy, from which plea-
sure or improvement may be derived, between
men a? sense and deceruin, he will always
delight- to be the organ of their arguments
and opinions : bathe most explicitly declares
his determination-not to defile his pages by the
admission of any tiling- like scurrility or per-
sonal abuse, and uniformly to refuse a place,
tothe malignant effusions ol defamatory scrib-
blers.
Under the pressure of absolute necessity,
the Editor, a short time ago, formed the deter-
mination to quit his native state, and seek, in
Philadelphia, such employment as he could
procure for a temporary support. In this pur-
suit he has been as successful as he could
have hoped : but, separated from his friends,
and estranged ii on i[the scenes & objects of his
early 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 honest ambition, and that
it prompts him to seek a sphere for the-exer-
tion of his humble talents somewhat more ex-
tended than the mere mechanical department
of his profession, to which ha has been bred.
If, then, lie shall receive, in his new design,
the patronage an. 1 support of his fellow -citizens
of the eastern shore of Maryland, ana particu-
larly of his own county, he 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
persons necessary, that the Editor shouid here
make a particular confession of his avm political
faith. Short as has been the course of his
observation, it has been sufficient to convince
him that true patriotism and a disinterested
regard to the interests of the people, are uot
always to be foun i where the pretentions to
them are most loudly churned. When tie looks
abroad to other i oouU-ios, and views, in a brief
retrospect, the changes, the revolutions, and
the usurpations which have taken place in the
present age ; v. hen he sees too, that Uie
cloak of liberty has been so frequently thrown
about the horrors of tyranny j and thtn, when
he turns his mind ir.Y,...d to hi* own country}
and revolves the. history of its parties, its party
professions, and its party measures, he hesi-
tates, nay, lie will forever refuse to give his
implicit confidence to any set of men who may
be in the administration of public affairs, lie
can only promise to approve and applaud when
his judgment discovers to him the interests of
the people promoted by their measures ; and
he must be equally allowed to condemn when
lie perceives theii rights violated, or the public
welfare ueelecud. Were the Editor, howe-
ver, 10 say Unit he has never made a choice be-
tween the conflicting parties of the times, it
would not be true : but, whilst he Iu;s jsriven
way to a predilection which was the honest
suggestion of his serious and candid opinion,
hew.is still sensible oi the inevitable ills to
which party conteststend ; and, .in the spirit
Of a patriot, he would be ever willing to re
linquish the hope of personal preferment,
which a seivile devotion to a party might in-
duce him to foster, for the more honorable de-
sire to divert the public mind from a path which
must terminate in ruin. Let the liiostenlighl-
ed statesmen of the present or past ages be
consulted—let the faithful pages of histjry be
resorted to on the question of causes which
have produced the tlov.nfal of every popular
government which has hertolbre existed, and
they will answer, party spirit •Miii.factiuns .'
With this answer of the great oracle of hu-
man wisdom before his eyes, and with a mind
not yet vitiated by the kteinperence of party
warfare, the editor wishes to establish a free
Press, which shall invite to it the patronage St
succor of every man in the community, who
acts and thinks with independence, and who
adopts sentiments and opinions from' Other and
far wortheir motives than mere personal :,.g
g-i .-liidizmcnt. He wishes to call to his aid the
talents, the wisdom, the'powsrs, and the ex-
eitions of all vvhti love their country ; and
who, without ahimd.io reference to what may
he the party polities oi die day, desire to
to buiginto her service all g od men and
true ; to harmonize, the public mind ; to ba-
nish discord & jarring wrangles from amongst
US ; to approve jllii applaud wl.a'tvi-r l
ents and worth we may now have in ouv pub-
lic councils; to emancipate merit ireln the
shackles of odious distlni lion, and to give to
our great, and beloved COUUlrj the best scr-
vio-i-s of her best citizens.

The following remarks trom a late London
publication, attest the high opinion entertain-
ed of tilts autlientic iwd interesting ivori :
" The public will learn with interest that
the literary monument which has long been
projected to the memory of the most illus-
trious character of modern times, is at
length completed. No apology can be requi-
site for erecting such a monument to him,
who was the first in war, tiie first in peace,
and the first in the hearts of his fellow citi-
zens : to him who was the founder of a
great and prosperous empire, and whose mo-
deration and pure patriotism challenge the
imitation of all statesmen This performance
of judge Marshall has already been distin-
guished by the most honorable and unequivo-
cal testimonies ; it has been hailed as an ac-
quisition to standard literature ; and it has
been considered as deserving, in point of ex-
ecution, a place by the side of Robertson's
Charles the Fifth,,and as unrivalled in the au-
thenticity of ita materials, by any work in the
entire compass of history and biography
