compliance with the y ish of many of .he most r-s-
Il pcctable citizens OF Portsmouth,, who are anxious for
such a publica ton Of their own, the publisher pfesrn,s this
Prospectus to the patronage and support Of the inhabitants
81 Portsmouth, Norfolk, and the adjoining counties.
:: IS unnecessary, in the present enlightened age, 70
ruirr into a laboIed detail Of the value Of new oapers-
H. a republic founded on the virtue and general intelli.
geuce Of the community, and which eau only be sunuoreG
parent 10 every rejecting mind. We shall proceed, there
fore, ~ ithout further remarks, TO spcriy The course we I'M
tend to pursue, anil the objects to which our aticn,jo, U III
he chiefly directed. In the first place, we would distinctly
slate that the REPUBLICAN is not intended 10 be a parii-
Fan paper, or devoted TO any particular party or a4niu-
i-Iration, further than their measures may be, I'm our yieu,
wise and beneficial, or calculated 10 promu,e the in,err,,s
OF "tr countrY. We shall aim at preserving a rigid i'm
partiality between conflicting parties-carchny excluding
I'll controversies of a personal and Acrimonious na,ure;-
atibe SAM time, we are DESTROYS that both sides of the
question on the merits Of public men and measures, NAV he
freely aud fairly stated, so that our readers will bg enabled
~ draw their own conclusions, and form their own min
ToTs on coutrUveTted points.
Our object and design is to make the RFruRL1r,S a
vehicle OF commercial and general information medium
ut FACTS, rather than political discussions or abstract
questions. Nor viii Agricultural and Miscellaneous in
formation be neglected-or the Literary and Scientific
'rSs OF the day. There is likewise another suhjsc, which
Vii engage an adequate share Of our attention, viz: In
Lrnai Improvement. Whatever difference Of oninion NAV
exist as TO the powers Of the General Government in re-
ference to This subject, there can be none as 20 the wis.
dln and policy Of Improving to the utmost our natural
"hv9ntaGes' ny removing distractions in our rivers-mating
clnals aud roads-thns opening ness channels for commerce,
Hrd calling healthy and vigorous exercise all the re.
G""rces, Of our State. This course, which has been so han.
ply brsnn by the Dismal Swamp Canal, will, we trust.
ere long, becoue a primary object Of importance wish orr
A'diesnnen, and give 4 flesh stimulus 10 our decaying COM
uierce aud lansui>hing agriculture.
Having thus briefly unfOldeI our intended course. IL r.
n'i"s Win the public to say how far they think IL wor;hy
H. patronage. '
r. SIT is our intention to issue the frs, nnmt.. Of
