Prospectus for a weekly newspaper, the Vermont Enquirer, with form for subscriptions; indicates that the Enquirer will be strictly a republican paper governed by the principles and doctrine of Thomas Jefferson. ; PROSPECTUS or A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER TO BE Published AT NORWICH, WINDSOR CO. VERMONT, ENTITLED THE VERMONT ENQUIRER. In presenting to the public this Prospectus we are not insensible of the multiplicity of Journals with which the country is filled—perhaps the people are already overtaxed for their support. But in justification of our undertaking we would remark, that many of the periodicals of the present day were ushered into existence in an hour of strife and bitterness and have been sustained by those means which reflect dishonor upon the Press and disgrace upon the country; of course, their career at best must be short and their memory soon forgotten. And as a well conducted press is the moral strength and defence of a free people, and viewing with deep concern the alarming current of cor- ruption which has been, and still is, poured forth from the press in various parts of the country, we consider it a duty we owe the present and rising generations, to endeavor to establish permanently a press which shall defend those invaluable rights and privileges, which were purchased by the blood of our fathers, and diffuse such information as shall be calculated to advance the interests of our com- mon country, and strengthen the bond of our Republican Union. The ENQUIRER will be strictly a Republican paper — it will give a decided support to the present administration of the general govern- ment, so far as that shall support and be governed by the doctrines and principles of the immortal JEFFERSON. It will oppose aristocracy and political disorganizing in whatever plausible shape it may appear, and expose as far as possible the machinations of the enemies of our Republican institu- tions, and endeavor by every probable means to secure the equal rights of man. The interests of the State of Vermont, particularly the system of Internal Improvement, shall command our best endeavors to support them.—To Literature, and especially that of our country, an ample por¬tion of our care shall be devoted, and to this department we shall always turn as to a recreation and relief from more irksome duties.—The popular branches of Science, and even those portions of pro¬fessional learning which may be rendered intelligible and interesting to general readers, shall not be neglected.—Mechanical Inventions and improvements, which are daily extending the physical powers of man and to which our own countrymen have contributed so much, we shall regard with special interest. COMMUNICATIONS tending to throw light upon science of every kind, will find a ready place. All that will displace error and help forward the cause of virtue; all that will expand the intellect; all that will serve to mend the heart, and propel the mind in its great search for knowledge, will be cheerfully admitted: and every endeavor will be made to form the paper on the basis of real utility. The publishers of the ENQUIRER, have no doubt that a Journal conforming to this plan, and con- ducted with a competent share of ability will receive sufficient encouragement to reward the labor and responsibility of the enterprize. In fidelity to their promises, they have 110 fear that they shall ever be found wanting. As to their capacity to perform what they have undertaken, they can only express their hope, that unremitting zeal and diligence will go far towards supplying any deficiency. The ENQUIRER will be issued on a sheet of the largest imperial size—the 1st No. to appear 0n the first of February, or sooner if sufficient patronage is pledged. JANUARY, 1830.
