For publishing in the town Of Warren, a
sSeekty Newspaper to be enf,tled the
Nu&gHHDN STAR,

AND WANnSN AMI oniorOL GAZETTE.
The subscribers having made ar
rangements with the publisher of the
Telegraph, for tha discontinuance of
hat paper. propose to issue, on the
wenty-hfth Of February, publick
newspaper with the above title, to be
devoted to the support of Agriculture
Commerce and Manufactures.
That two commercial towns, Of the
importance and respectability Of War.
rem and Bristol, should be for the space
Of fifteen years almost entirely destitute
Of a newspaper, is unparalleled in the
annals Of our country. Warren, with
D population Of two thousand souls, and
three thousand tons Of shipping en-
ployed in the West India trade, to-
gether with large amount Of proper
ty vested 10 the coastiny business and
Bristol, with three thousand four hum
dred inhabitants and larger CONNER
cial capital than Warren, have been for
long time dependant upon the larger
towns. their rivals in trade, for Press
TO assert their just rights, make known
the extent Of their foreign and domes-
tick trade and their consequent i'm
portance in the comercial world,
During this age Of enterprise and
improven ent, newspapers have sprung
up in every village and ham ct through
out the United States, Even that ex-
tensive country west Of Albany, which
but "a few years since was oplv resort
for the hunter, il now teeming with
publications scientitick, literary, re-
li,ioas and political. Every landing
place on the Erie canal IS supplied
witb Il minister school master and a
printer. A:d shall it be said that War
rem and Bristol, both celebrated for
their wealth and enterprise ere Daniel
Boon felled tree in the Western
world, are behind these infant settle
mehts in point Of literature and gener-
al information
Those sectional feelings which have
for Dssy years divided the Northern
asa Southern parts of this State, have
been ~ deeply felt in Bristol coun-
ty as any other. Situated between the
counties Of Providence and Newport,
. prey to the interests Of both, she
has seriously felt the want Of that infiu
ence which well conducted journal
will always have over the minds and
actions ola free people.
The subscribers are well aware of
the i'll success which has attended ev-
cry attempt to circulate paper in this
county and are more willing to a'tri.
butte it to those. little jealousies which
have for long time existed between
the towns of Warren and Bristol, and
which it shalt be their aim to DO away,
than to any unwillingness on their part
to encourage publication based upon
liberal principles and intended to sup.
port the true interests Of the people.
They will. .labour to make their paper
worthy of liberal patronage, and
pledge themselves that the enterprise
shall never fail for want Of attention
on their part. :. /
With regard to politicks they bind
themselves to no set Of men, and will
never be a tool in the hands of party or
individuals. They will warmly sup.
port the Constitution Of the United
States, and never swerve from the
existing administration.
Although they will ever maintaiH that
freedom which the Constitution intend.
ed the press to have, they will never
suffer It 10 become tn: vehicle of pri-
vate malice or Of publick scandal.
