To the Patrons of the Gazette.
The establishment of the Camdin Ga
7.p'.TfE having been ua'isfcrred by the late
proprietor, is now under the superinten
dence of ils new proprietor and Editor.
It Iras i)een 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 ofwhat we fleem a duty, we
submit t-j the public an avowal ol the sen.
8timenis,which will influence us in the dis
charge of our functions.
- Political economy and the administration
of National affairs, are the most important
subjects on which the columns of a news
paper embody and disseminate opinions and
information, and although our happy
country and by our admirable Constitution
an unrestrained liberty of the Prtss.is
guaranteed, effusions on those, subjects may
have sometimes degenerated into licen
tiousness and been productive of mischief,
yet we humbly presume it will be univer
sally conceded that tut evil resulting from
the freedom of the Press has been more
than counterblanced by tHe good.
Perhaps this i4coniiou*ne*t< has, more,
than any other cause, contributed to pro
duce and fan the ilaiue of taction and party
spirit which has impaired the .ustre ol the
annals of our country ; but the effect* ofthat
spirit when restrained within reasonable
limits, is to produce and preserve a vigi
lance over the motives and tendencies oi
public measures, calculated to maintain the
liberties of tne Country.
In the distinctions of party which hate
arisen, we have unilormly professed our
selves* attached to that denominated Repub
lican, and we certainly see no cause in the^
vigilant, just, able and patriotic poncy ol
our present political Chief, to change oui
principles or opinion.
But indeed pavty distinctions may be said
to havfc almost ceased to exist. The tem
pest of faction, and the conflicting billows
of ivitical distention, have subsided into
a peaceful calm* The wisdom ofour 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, acquired by
enlightened counsels supported by an eu
lfghtencd population.
The Chiefs of five succcssive adminis
trations have witnessed the happy destinies
of America. Adams, Jefferson, Madispn
and Monroe, still live to honor and be hon
ored by their country. The first, during
whose administration political parties be- 1
came completely organized, hate been him
self the warm advocate anci supporter of
the measures of the three last. Political
delusions have been dissipated, faction pros
trated, what is emphatically styied the
* Era of good lee lings** is arrived, and we
may exclaim in the language of the sage of
Monticcilo, 44 we are all Federalists, we arc
all Republicans."
With these sentiments the Editor ten
ders to the patrons and friends of his estab
lishment, his scrvir.es. 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
fellow-man, shall bo permitted io tarnish
his paper.

From the %Vetr-Hampshire Gazette*
My dear Messrs Editors,
To what a shange pass the shock?
ing iuipudence of oui ^oung man is
carried. Don't you think, sirs, mat
after the most wicked attempts to
wiu the affections of us, young la*
dies, they have the uublushiug ef- ?
froutery to pretend to be unconscious
of any such design. For instance,
sirs there is Capt. Flash, who dan
ced with Miss Flaunt at the last
hall, aud has since been seen walk
ing in the direction toward her house,
has still the audacity to say ?* it is
no engagementwhile she,, poor
soul, is suffering44 concealment; like
the v\ orm in the hud, to prey upon
her domaalc c heek,99 having " never
told her love " to more than twenty
or thirty particular frieuds, w i;h a
sjieciul charge of secrecy to each.-*
And there is Dick Careless, who
in spite of all our kind enquiries and
the utmost exertions of Pri cilia
PryweO, Tabetha Teazele, and tho
rallying of our w hole circle, pre
serves a most provoking silence on
the subject of his courtship of a or
tain young lady. To be sure the
young lady herself has quite an indif
ference to insisting on her rights pre
tending to have doubts whether twice
accidentally meeting a stranger a
mounts to a promise of marriage,
and even suggesting the stall notions,
that were it otherwise, it might be
well to kuow a little something of
tho gentleman before the affair should
lie entirely finished?but all the world...
know it ia true$ for they have twice
been***** talking lugether at a party,
and Jenny Harked said, that at .one
of the times, she could not tell cer
taiuly w hat they said; but she heard
Dolly i latter well say, that 8usy
Lookout law two persons pass the
street in company who she guessed
were they.
In this way, sirs, to my certain
knowledge the unfeeling men have
l>eeti trifling with the hearts of us
young I ndies, these thirty-live years .
?1 mean Ave years?as 1 was just
seventeen the 4th day of last May.
But, sirs, what provokes me bey ond
all endurance, is that some one of
those cruel deceivers,
44 A hair-brained, heartless heave? aban
doned rake,
" W hose vile vocation laths heart to break,"
should publish the following insolent
and impudent slander, a icopy of
which, sirs, 1 wish you to insert
that its author may be held in proper
contempt by all well disposed per-*
sons*
? Your most affectionate, &c. kc.
