To tlie Patrons of the Gazette.
The establishment of the Camd*n<?a
2 ette having been transferred by the late
proprietor, is now under the superimen
dence of its new proprietor and Editor..
It has been usual on similar occasions,
to sketch an outline of the principles by
which the Editor would be governed.
In compliance with that usage, and in
performance of what we deem a duty, we
submit to the public an avowal of the
stimenis which will influence us in the dis
charge of our functions.
PoliticaTecOnomyand the admiiiistruticnr
of National affairs, are the most important
subjects on which tfTe columns of a news
pnpvr embody and disseminate opinions and
Information, and aitnough in our happy
country and by our admirable Constitution
an unrestrained liberty ot the Press is
guaranteed, feft'usions on thos<; subjects may
have" sometimes degenerated into licen
tiousness and been productive of mischief,
yet we humbly presume it will be univer
sally conceded that the evil resulting from
the freedom of the Press has been more
than counterbla.iced by the good. ?
Perhaps this licentiousness has, more
than any other cause, contributed to pro
duce and fun the tlauae ofjacttoi and party
spirit which has impaired the |ustre ot me
annals of our country^-but the effect of that
spirit when restrained within reasonable
limits, is to pr^du&e and preserve a vigi
lance over the motives and tendencies ot
public measures, calculated to maintain the
liberties ot the Country.
lu the distinctions of party which have
arisen, we have uniformly professed ou?
selves attached to that denominated Repub
lican, and wc! certainly see no cause in the
Vigilant, just, able and patriotic policy ot
our present political Chtef, to change our
principles or opinion.
But indeed party distinctions may be said
to have almost ceased to exist. The tem
pest ot taction* and the conflicting tallows
of political distention, have subsided into
a peaceful calm, rfie wisdom of our pub
lic functionaries, and the virtuous energies
of our people, have procured for our coun
try an exalted character in, the family of
nations. Peace, security, liberty, prosper
ity and happiness at home, respect and es
teem abroad, are our portion, accoutred by
enlightened counsels supported by an en
lightened population.
The Chiefs of five successive adminis
trations have witnessed the happy destinies
of America. Adams, Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe, still live to honor and be iton
pted by their country*' * The first, duriug
whose administration political parties be
came completely organized, has been him
?elf the warm advocate and supporter of
th'e measures of the three last. Political
delusions have been dissipated, faction proa*
trated, what is emphatically styled the
* Era of pood feelings" is arrived, and We
may exclaim in thfc language of the sage of
Monticello, 44 we are all Federalists, we are
all Republicans."
With these sentiments the Editor ten
ders to the patrons and friends of his estab
lishment, his services. From Scientific
and Literary gentlemen, communications
for his columns are respectfully solicited
and will be gratefully received; but he
pledges himself to the public, that nothing
personal and calculated to excite the angry
and vindictive feelings of man towards his
fcllow-inan, shall be permitted to tarnisn

The situation is, probably, one of the
most eligible that this country afl'o rd*
The elevation is considerably above: the
common level of the surface. The rise
and declivity ot the hUl is gradual and re
?ular: and its summit smooth and un
broken. The Springs empty out of the
basis of the hill, at different apertures,
wnere it abrubtly breaks off. in almost, a
perpendicular descent.
The water is a strong mineral. It is
transpurent and palatable. -The ingredi
ents which fonn the composition - of this
mineral, have not yet been accurately as
certained by chvmical' analysis. A few
individuals have annually visited those7
Springs, and those alone, can form an ad
' equate idea of the advantage which results
from attending them.
The ruinous condition of the buildings
in all probability, and the want ofaccom
modation has, hitherto, prevented a imm?
her of persons from attending these Springs.
But the subscriber flatters himself that he
is now, well prepare^ for the accommoda
tion of a uumber of persons* And he
pledges himself to spare no exertions to
render the situation of all those who attend
these Springs both comfortable and agree
