PROSPECTUS.
IN Ukin^thedtrcevioivof a Public Jour
- nal, the Editor has no other object in view,
than, by tke exercise of an useful occupa
tion to obtain an honest livelihood ? 10
manage His paper in such a manner, that
Society shall derive* from IF, the greatest
p possible benefits alloyed with the least pos
sible evils*
It has been unfortunately the fact, that
for the last fifteen or twenty yea*** scarce
S ly aperiodkal publication has been usher
ed into existence in the Unirted States, un
[ shielded by the bannersof party, and which
has not been exclusively attached to some
particular sect of politicians; their career
has^beenmarked by the unqualified praise
of their patrons, and equally indiscrim
ifiate abuse of their opponents ? W hat im
provement of the state of society, what
advancement of the cause of truths light,
?nd liberty, can be expected from papers
thus demoted,
: The Cam^xw Gazkttk shall not be- s
come the exclusive herald of any^ party,
?ect, or faction ; but glorying in the MAUt
, and m the char acte r of an AMERICAN
CITIZEN* the Editor will as far as his
humble talents will permit, make his p^per
the ^hiekTof that name and character/ and,
vf he can be pardoned the vanity, he will
attempt to sustain the impartiality of the
Press. Whatever may be his private opin
ions of men and measures, they can be of
little use to be obtruded on his readers ; if
his paper shall be ablv and honestly con.
duc&Y they will be satisfied : and in a
country like ours where civil liberty is
guaranteed by permanent, constitutions,
and secured and regulated by wholesome
laws, wisely administered, there can be
ltitle o t no necessity for public d^chtimers
or party pesters.

DANIEL REED'S PATENT.
Pleasant Spinner^ }
ANEW and useful improvement
for Spinning wool, worsted, cot
ion, kc. to be seen at
WILLIAM D. PARKER'S
K^ng-^treet, Camden* This improve
m<lu has been in use ever since the firmv
of October 1 8 1 1 , by a great number of
Spinners who state that they can spin at
least one third faster, an H perfnTm-wifh
more ease than on the common wk^el*
This wheel is peculiaily calculated :for
ease, and is put in motion by drawing a
band, and may be lowere4 or raised as
best suits the spinner, and is so construct
ed as to twist thread with greet facility
without crossing the band ; and the most
slender and delicate constitutions are not
' ujured by performing a. diy's work or
more, in a day./ It may be used by
young girls without any^ injury to their
healtlw ? It is alloweif by physicians lo be
jgorery healthy eversise for -weakly per
sons. It ia less li able to g e t out o ? re
pair, and occupies less room than a com
mon wheel ; and new beginneri teftrn to
spin upon it much easier, and quicker
and make better thread than on the. com
mon wheel. /.J.' V I :
The Pleasant Spinner may be had as
above on very moderate terms. The Pa
tent Right ia only two dollars. It is well
worthy of the attention of every family in
which spinning is carried on.
