PROPOSALS
For psblishisg in the foyn y Warrea. a
wsekly Nswspapsr to be ent.tled the
NUNTINEN STAR

raNgements with the publisher of the
Telegraph, for the discontinuance Of
hat paper, propose to issue, on the
wenty fifth of February, a 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
ren and Bristol, should be for the space
Of fifteen years almost satire'y destitute
Of newspaper, is unparalleled in the
annals of our country. Warren, with
a population Of two thousand soals, and
three thousand tons Of shipping en-
ployed in the West India trade, to-
gether with large amount Of proper
ty vested in the coastiny business aud
Bristol, with three thousand four hun
dred inhabitants and larger CONNER
ciL capital than Warren, have been for
a long time dependant upon the larger
towns, their rivals in trade, for Pres
to assert their just rights, IKE known
the extent Of their foreign and domes-
tt;ck trade and their consequent i'm
portauce in the comsrcial world,
During this age Of enterprise and
Improvement. newspapers have sprung
up 10 every village and hamlet through
out the United States, Even chat ex-
tensive country west Of Albany, which
but few years since was only resort
for the hunter, is now teeming with
publications scientitick, literary, re-
ligious and political. Every landing
place on the Erie canal IS supplied
with a minister school master and a
printer. And shall it be said that War
rem and Bristol, both celebrated for
their wealth and ente erprise ere Daniel
Boon felled tree in the Western
world, are behind these infant settle
nents in point Of literature aud gener-
al information !?
Those sectional feelings which havs
Ar mary years divided the Northern
and Southern parts Of this State. have
been as deeply felt in Bristol coun-
~ as any other. Situated between the
counties Of Providence and Newport,
prev to the interests of both, she
has seriously felt the want of that inHu
ence which a we'll conducted Journal
will always have over the minds and
actions eta free people.
The Subscribers are we'll aware Of
the Ill success which has attended ev-
cry attempt to circulate paper in this
county and are more willing to attri.
butte il to those little jeaIousies which
have for long time existed between
the towns Of Warren and Bristol, and
which il shall be their aim to do away,
than to any anwillinguess on their part
to encourages publication based upon
liberal principles and intended to sup.
port the true interests Of the people.
'Phey will labour to make their paper
worthy of a liberal patronage, and
pledge themselves that the enterprise
shall never fail for want Of atteatien
On their part.
With regard 70 pslitieks they bini
themselves to noSet Of men, and will
never be tool ia 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 m,intaia that
freedom which the Constitution intend.
ed the press to have. they will never
sSffer It 10 become the yeniclc az pri-
vsts malice or Of publick scandd.
