In‘ oinmencing the publication of the GA:
¢ETT ',j_)ublic’cxpi’:ctatlon, in conformity tti
long stablished custom; on ‘similar occasions,
iinquestiouabl will iieiiiiiild of us some ex-
laiiation of he views and; intentions by
which wt) e guided. _
Adherin , however, to the determination
expressedi the Proposals, and unwilling to
iraise expe ations, or excite curiosity, which;
, -possibly, e may fail to gratify; fl detailed
and proinis ng address will be avoided. By
-its fruits tile paper can be best known, and
tin them must its ultimate success depend.
Laboiiring under numerous disadvanta-
g~es,'which are ever attendant, in a greater or
lessdegree, on the establislimentof» public
journals, the paper may fail in partaking of
that interest, in the commencement; Which ill
a time it may attach to itself: .
e A brief sketch of the proposed plan being
A y _ already before the public; any thing further,
\ with respect to its character, will ,be deemed
superfluous and unnecessary.
In adopting this plan, we have been actua-
ted by a sincere desireof advancing the pub-
lic welfare ; and believingthat this can best
be promoted, by a candid and moderate re-
view of public affairs, it has been thou ht
-best, that violent party discussions shoul be
discarded, and their place‘ substitiied by‘ top-
,ics of more Veneraliiiterest and usefulness. .
appro atign which has been extended
t if ‘it, and the flattering‘ success which has,thus
_“-.attended- our yolltflflll endeavours, is a
ii’-ce of peculiar gratilication, and will af-A.
fdrd an additional stimulus to our exertions.
How far, in the future discharge of our du-
,..'-ties, we shall merit orvreceive public patron-
age, time only can dc-termine.—-We shall, at
least, enjoy the satisfaction of having endeav-
V 55 mired to render ourselves-sdeserving of it.
