PROPOSALS,
For publishing in the Town of Hali
fax, North-Carolina, a weekly news
paper, to be called the
altfajr tnertja,
By John Campbell.
:t:
rpHE Minerva will be printed on a
A large sheet of good paper, with hand
some type. Information, of every kind.
I interesting to the Farmer, the Politician,
the Merchant, the Professional Gentle-
j man, and the Mechanic, will, be careful
ly selected; nor shall the Ladies and
j those fond of amusement be neglected,
j In fine it will be my grand aim to ren-
jaer tne iMinerva a welcome visitor and
Ian instructive and amusins comnanion
j to every class of the community.
j I am a Republican in principle, and a
j Southron in feeling. But on all impor
tant measures, when cenhictmg inte
rests or party spirit may excite discus
sion, I shall endeavor to pursue a mode
rate and cautious course. The columns
of the Minerva shall never be lent to a
Faction; nor advocate principles or
measures hurtful to our common coun
try. The merits of candidates for im
portant offices will be canvassed strictly,
but fairly; and the errors of those in of
fice shall be exposed.
Upon the all-engrossing subject of the
Presidential question, it is unnecessary
to speak, as the election will have been
made before the publication of the Mi
nerva commences.
With this brief sketch of my views
and principles, I most respectfully soli
cit public patronage. Persons to whom
this prospectus shall be sent, will please
use their exertions to obtain subscribers,
and make a return to the Post-master al
Halifax by the 1st of December next, as
it is designed to commence the publica
tion of the Minerva about that time.
The price of subscription will be two
dollars and fifty cents, if paid in ad
vance; or three dollars, if payment is
not made in three months from the" re
ceiptof the first number.
Any person who shall procure six
subscribers, ann become responsible for
the payment, shall be entitled to a sev
enth gratis. To persons at a distance I
feel willing to make the terms as accom
modating as possible; therefore, where a
company of twelve subscribers shall be
made up, the price, to each subscriber,
will be reduced fifty cents, from the
above terms.
Advertisements will be inserted on tha
customary terms.
