To the Patrons of the Gazette.
The establisuuient of the Camdrn Ga
te ite having been transferred by the late
proprietor, is now under the superinten
dence of its new proprietor and Editor.
It nas been usual on similar occasions,
to sketch an outline of the principles by
which tite Editor would be governed.
In compliance with that usage, and in
performance of what we deem a duty, we
submit lj tne public an avowai ot the sen
stinicnls which will influence us in the dis
charge ot our functions
Political economy and the administration
of National affairs, are the most important
subjects (in which the columns of a news
papar embody and disseminate opinions and
information, and although in our happy
country and by our admirable Constitution
an unrestrained liberty of the Press is
guaranteed, effusions on those subjects may
have sometimes degenerated into licen
tiousness and been productive of mist met,
yet we humbly presume it will be univer
sally conceded that the evil resulting fiom
the freedom of the Press has been more
than counterblanced by the good.
Perhaps this licentiousness has, more
than any other cause, contributed to pro
duce and fan the flame of taction foul party
spirit which has unpaired tne lustre ot the
annals of our country ; but the effectol timt
spirit when restrained within reasonable
limits, is to produce and preserve a vigi
lance over the motives and'tendencies ol
public measures, calculated to maintain the
liberties of the Country.
In the distinctions of party which ha\ e
arisen, wc have uniformly professed our
selves attached to that denominated Uepub
. licau, and we certainly see 110 cause in the
vigilant, just, abie and patriotic policy of
our present political Chief, to changc our
principles or opinion.
But indeed party distinctions may be said
to have almost ceased to exist. The tem
pest of faction, and the conflicting billows
of political disscntion, have subsided into
a peaceful calm. The wisdom of our pub
lic^ functionaries, and the virtUous energies
of our people, have procured lor 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 en
lightened population*
. 1 lie duets ot hvc succcssive adminis
trations have witnessed the happy destinies
of America. Adams, Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe, still live to honor and be hon
ored by their country. The first, during
whoso administration political parties be*
came completely organized, has been him
self the warm advocate and supporter of
the measures of the three last. Political
? 7 }
delusions have been dissipated, faction pros*
trated, what is emphatically styied the
f4 Kra of good feelings'' is arrived, and we
may exclaim in the language of the sage of
Monticeilo, M we are all Federalists, wc are
all Republicans."
With these sentiments the Editor ten
ders to the patrons and friends of his estah*
lishment, his services, l'rom Scientific
and Literary gentlemen, communications
for his columns are respectfully solicited
and will he gratefully rcceivcd ; but he
pledges himself to the public, '.hat nothing
personal and Calculated to excite the angry
and vindictive feelings of man towards his
fcilow-man, shall bo permuted to tarnish
his paper.

Bradford's Springs
I T is a circumstance of no small impof
*portance to the citizens of this State to
have a convenient and healthy situation, u>
| which they can have access during the
Summer and Autumnal months.
? The Bradford Spring, at tliis time, ex
hihit such a situation. The buildings
here, are capacious and convenu nt ; :w!
*re as well calculated lor the a*, comnioua
tion of the delicate and infirm, as thosv
who arc in search of pleasure.
The situation is, probabl), one of the
'lust eligible that this c??untr\ aflo nU
?*uc elevation is considerably above tin
.>?inu"it Ic.c , it. tiic surface. 'I he' ris?
and declivity ot the hill is gradual and re
gular: and its summit smooth and un
broken. The Springs empty out of the
basis of the hill, at vdiflferent apeitures,
wnet'e it abrubt.y breaks off, in almost, a
perpendicular descent.
The water is a strong mineral. It ^
transparent and palatable. The iugrem
ents which form the composition of tin'
mineral, have not >4*t been accurately as
certained by chvmical analysis. A few
individuals have annually visited those
springs, and those alone, can form an ad
equate ideaol tlx; advantage which results
'rum attending them.
The ruinoy>-condition of vhe buildings
m all probability, and the want of accom
modation has, hi liar to, prevented a num
ber of pci ^ aUt.ndingtl??ut? Sprit.
Hut :he subscriber flatters himself that In
is now, well prepared for the ac< ommoda
tion of a uuniber of persons. And ht
;>iedires himself to spare no exertions to
render the situation of all those who aiten
these Springs both comfortable and agree

The Of igiv (J jt"ufer Money.
The invention of paper money is
? in It more-ani-iem-Untii the establish
nient of tlie earliest liauks, Tho
Hank of St. George, of Genoa, thq
most ancient we know, was founded
in 14(17? but before the end oi tho
Airt/enth century, Koblai, grandson
opGenghis Khan, tlie Tartar con
queror, introduced paper money into
China, and hisjexample was at oiicq
followed by Us cousin, Kaigston,
me hultan of-Persia; both were
oMiged to abolish it, on account of
the great disorders it i roduced_in
their extensive dominions.
Since this epoch, the Chinese
(government ha* again established
paper money; and in liussia they
can now sheW a " Chinese assignat,"
In Turkey al?o, the collectors of
certain taxes deliver receipts to those
who pay them, and these papers have
the currency of money.
It is not pretended that paper
money was first invented by the
Mongol# J on7 the contrary, its in
vention was every w here as easy as
its use was obviou*; and particular
ly attractive for all governments, for
its temporary advantage in a crisis of
difficulty.
The idea of substituting a token,
or promissory obligation tor a present
intrinsic value, could occur even to a
simple or barbarous people, of which
<here are many examples,
Aristotle, in his economics, tell*
its that Denis tlie Ts rant of Hyva*
case, coined money of tin, which he
declared to be legal and equivalent
to silver 1
Tinmtheus, the general of tho
Athenians, in a moment of difficulty
coined brass money, and assured his
murmuring soldiers, that he would
receive it, in the purchase of the
spoils he was to make. We havo
heard much of the leathern money
used by the Cartlmgenians,
It is true, none of these are paper
money, but resemble it, as merely
" tokens of valuethe money of
confidence; the 1, O, U,
We read also of the iron money
of Byzantium? and of some of the
ncient cities of Greece,
in jsnglaml, oar copper money is
only a token or sign, current for near
ly double its value as metal.
In Russia, skins ami furs have
been used for moneyt .but their in
convenient bulk gave rise, in e.j'ly
time, to an ingenious representative)
of their ntural coins, which was
small pieces of leather stam|>ed,
which were used as money, told
liquidated by furs and skins as ex
pressed. 1 his leather coin was used
in some parts as the factions of the
silver copeck, down to the year 17t>0,
Among the simple Hindoos, w ho*e
wants are frw, and .the produce of
the earth acquired with little labor,
gold and silver, or even coppei or
iron, arc of no great value in com
parison, and their small moms ]s
cowry shells, collected on the shores
of Ceylon, and of the Maldive
inlands; these shells have been cur
rent money of the Mongol* of Hen
gal and liotan, n? well as of (/nines.
On the discovery of America, grains
of Cacao served for money, In
Abyssinia their meichsndiftes joe
valued by salt and pepper; at New#
foundhind by codllsh; in Virginia
by tobacco; it. Iceland, by a sort of
wool; pieces of nanK^en serve for
money of comparison, in tlie ex
changes l>etween the Chinese and
the linssiatis, afKiaktn; ntr.kHjg the
Greeks of llje lower emptie, picce*
