And "on, the capital of a single is be frankly confessed he opened a printing office in this city in May, 1773, on the site of the present Sun office, at the southeast corner of bouth and Baltimore Streets. His general printing business was successful, and on July 15 he.

Issued his prospectus of The Marylandi Journal and Baltimore Advertiser, and Aug. 20, 1774, the Initial number was published. This waa the first newspaper published In Baltimore, and Its typographical execution Was excellent He had a paying circulation of about 3u0 copies and was favored with twenty a pa rate advertisements, filling four of his twelve columns, the last of all being George Washington's announcement from Mount Vernon of his 4eslre te lease to settlers acres of land. Which he had recently acquired upon the Ohio and Great Kanawha Rivers. Having caught the popular ear, Mr.

Goddard made himself a reformer of public evils and seeured a practical recognition of the power of the press. He had an able assistant In the person of his sister. Miss Mary Katharine Goddard. Miss Goddard Fac-almlle of Slgasure. did a Urge share of the work of the paper, 'he last week in October to Nov.

Lpon his return the nuxulv. billty Which has been alltlrled In ee Ooddard a striking characteristics, found exercise In an undertaking which made him known in history as the father of the P8ta yem." From .753 to 1774 Benjamin Franklin had charge of the of tb colonies, holding the title of Deputy Postmaster General by appointment from the English Government. Nominally, he had an associate of equal rank.

CoL William Hunter ot Virginia, but the latter was content to leave ail the busi-bess in his colleague's hands. The service was not popular with the colonists, although Franklin made it very efficient, and as he said himself. It yielded over per annum, three times as much clear profit to the Crown as the Post Office or Ireland. His participation in the protests against the. policy of ths Government toward the colonists led to his summary dismissal from office In 177.

The political tone of The Maryland Journal had given intense offense to the British Ministry. Just as thst of The Pennsylvania Chronicle had done. Goddard became a man marked for their disfavor, especially after he spoke with no uncertain voice about the destruction of the tea in Boston Harbor by the patriots disguised as Indians. No such radical utterance had been made in Maryland as the editorial article in which be Indorsed the unexampled, spirited, and noble conduct or out brave countrymen who disdain to wear the chain, and who are unalterably determined to be free." In succeeding weeks he continued his bold advocacy or resistance to the encroachments of England, and his Influence was felt in the encouragement of Maryland to the point At which war must break out The British Ministry found one way of punishing him, which was in checking the circulation of hla paper, by placing an enormous tax upon its diffusion through the msjlA He was actually charged 52 annually In Pennsylvania currency for the transportation of some 300 papers 130 milea. and he was required to pay the money weekly as the papers were delivered at the Post Office.

Foreseeing that such exactions meant the practical extinction of his business, and sharing in the conviction of many Americans that the Post Office scheme of the Government was wholly unconstitutional, he left Miss Goddard again In charge of The Journal In February, 17i4, and went awaj to work up his new project, which she announced as an affair in a very high degree Interesting to the common liberties of al America as well as to the printer ot thla paper." Mis Post Offlca Project. He waa absent from Baltimore until July 1, and visited his many friends in New-York. Boston, Salem. Providence, Newbury-port and elsewhere. He first made known his constitutional Post Office project in The Journal July 2, 1774.

A year later he was on his way to New-Tork and New-England again to consult his friends upon making further regulations and Improvements for the service. In order that the whole scheme might be laid before the Continental Congress, and that body he asked to sanction snd adopt it. He visited ail ths colonies In extending- his system and met with few obstacles in the establishment of his enterprise. The Post Office in Baltimore was at the office of The Maryland Journal, and for fifteen years Mis Mar) K. Goddard was the Postmistress, being the first Postmistress in the United kStates.

She was again appointed Postmistress of Baltimore on Dec 81, 1703, and continued to serve until Jan. 24. 1800. The mail rate under Goddard's system were the same as under the royal system. James Von Brocket was the post rider between New-York and Philadelphia.

He left New-York for Philadelphia on Mondays and Thursdays, and returned on Wednesdays and Saturdays. At Its session In May, 1775, tha Continental Congress appointed a committee of which Benjamin Franklin was Chairman to consider the best means of establishing posts under Government control for the conveyance of letters and Intelligence throughout the country. Franklin drew up a plan which was approved by the commute and adopted by Congress, and Franklin was appointed Postmaster General, with a salary of 11,000 per annum. Franklin rewarded Goddard's exertions by appointing him Surveyor of the Post roads and Controller of the Post an office which he filled with Intelligence and fidelity for about a year. On the retirement ef Franklin in November, 1776.

Goddard expected to succeed him as Postmaster General, but to nis great disappointment Klrnard Haehe, the son-in-law of. Franklin, and his deputy, received the place, snd Goddard then resigned his position In disgust. His sister, however, retained the position of Postmistress at Baltimore until 1790, when she was succeeded by Joshua the first Postmaster under the Federal Constitution. A few yeara ago Col. William Goddard, the grandnephew of William Goddard, presented to the Maryland Historical Society, through Col.

to Nov. 10, 1799. From the account of Richard Bache, Controller, It Is learned that during the year ending Oct 1776, the net amount of pontage received from the Baltimore office was 15 13s. Pennsylvania currency, or. reduced to Federal money, Ml.Yia, being the largest amount received from any Post" Office In the country- From Philadelphia It waa New-York and Boston are not mentioned In thla account but from other soures It Is learned that In 177 the amount of pest-age at Baltimore was greater than In the City of New-York by more than one-quarter, and that Philadelphia exceeded New-York by more than one-sixth.

From the 1st of October, 17ttt, to the th of September, the amount ef postage collected In Baltimore, Philadelphia, New-York, and Boston was as follows: Philadelphia, New-York, Baltimore. f3.3S4.0S; Boston. 12 967.47. In 1770, Ooddard presented ta Congress a petition for appointment In the army, setting forth his sufferings la the Revolutionary cause. In July he petitioned for a commission as Lieutenant Colonel In Parsons' regiment or In Parke's artificers.

Failing in his patriotic designs, it is charged that from this period ha not only suffered his ardor in the Revolutionary cause to abate, but that ha actually abandoned his political principles. He resumed his residence In Baltimore, where The Maryland Journal had been and was still continued by and In the name of his sister, but in which It waa known that he had an Intareat and over which It was believed he maintained entire control. Owing to the approach of the British troops, Philadelphia became no longer a place of safety for the Continental Congress, which removed to Baltimore. While Congress waa sitting in this city, the first official publication of the Declaration of Independence, with ths signers' names attached, was Intrusted by Congress to the Goddards, and the broadsides upon which It was printed and which were officially distributed by John Hancock.

While The Journal was an uncompromising advocate of the Revolutionary cause, It was by no means blindly partisan, and Its Independence and moderation toward those who differed from It brought down upon It finally the wrathful Indignation of the Baltimore Whig Club, a revolutionary society composed of the more radical element The club was orranlsed early In February, 1777, and on the 25 tb of that month Ths Journal published an article in adulation of the King over the nam of Tom Telltruth." The publication of this article exelted no little feeling and excitement, which culminated In an sttack on William On March 8. 177T, Col.

In conformity with these resolutions. Gov. Thomas Johnson Issued a proclamation April 17 censuring the club and sustaining Mr. Goddard ths first vindication of the liberty of the press In Maryland. Vfter all this row and racket, the writer of this article more than a century after discovered imong some old family papers which fce found on the Eastern Shore of Maryland a letter from Gov.

John Henry, who was a member of the House of Collates from Dorchester County, to Henry Steale, dated Annapolis, March 13, 177. which disclosed the name of Samuel Chase, la of the Declaration of Independence and one of the most prominent leaders of tbe Hevolutlon. the author or "Tom Telltruth." 1'ntier ths ample protection afforded by Gov. Johnson, Mr. Goddard returned to Baltimore snd took up the broken thr- I of affairs, but the episode had taught caution, and it was two years before he again ventured to incur the popular displeasure.

Col. Oswald neeanses Ills Partner. In January. 1T79, CoL Eleaxer Oswald, a man of great courage and perfectly fearless In the discharge of what he thought was his duty, entered Into partnership with William God lard In the publication of The Journal, the ownership af a paper mill at E.kridge, and the printing and publishing business generally, the firm name becoming Goddard A Oswald. CoL Oswald was born in England about 1755, of good family, and about the time of the disputes between Great BritAin and the colonies took an interest In the American eause and oame to America about 1770.

He was engaged In the earliest movements of the war, and served as Captain under Arnold at the capture of Tlconderoga, and became his jeeretary. He exhibited great bravery at Quebec In li5, where he commanded tbe forlorn hope after Arnold was wounded. In 1777 he was made a Lieutenant in CoL Lamb regiment of and soon after distinguished himself with Arnold at Compo. For his bravery at the battle of Monmouth highly commended by Gens. Lee and Knox.

He was a fine artillerist "one of the best officers of the army." says Gen. Knox. Soon after the battle or Monmouth he left the service, removed to Baltimore, and Joined Goddard la the publication ot The Journal. They also had In con templar 'I01 to print a neat and correct edition of tha Holy Bible and some other works of importance to mankind, on paper of their own manufacture." A short time after Oswald entered' into partnership with Goddard. The Journal incurred the displeasure of the more radical higs, and the friends of Washington generally, by tbe publication.

July 6, 1779, of rtlcIt entitled, Queries. Political and Military," which had been written by Gen. Charles Lee. the personal enemy of Washington, who had been suspended by a court-martial from his command In the army for disobedience of orders and misbehavior before the enemy at the battle of Monmouth. The publication of the Queries caused great excitement in Baltimore, and the reflection they cast upon the reputation or Gen.

Washington particularly exasperated those who believed him to ba the proper person to lead the American armies. A demand was made upon Mr. Goddard for the name of the author of ths Queries." At first he refused to give it -but when an excited mob threatened to give him a coat of tar and feathers and cart him through the streets with a halter about his neckl" he reluctantly submitted to the detestable tyranny he was under," and gave the name of Charles E. Lee aa the author of the objectionable article. He was also re quired to sign tne roiiowing apology.

Which was published In The Journal July 8, 1779: I. William Goddard. do hereby acknowledge that by publishing certain QuerUv, Political and Military." in Tha Maryland Journal ot the tUh Inst. 1 have transgreased against truth. Justice, and my duty as a guod citizen, aad In reparation I da most humbly beg hla Excellency Qn.

Washington's pardon, and hope the good people of this town will excuse my having published therein a piece so replete with nonsense and malevolence of a disappointed man. Goddard was a man of courage, and. though compelled by his persecutors to sign the apology, he was not awed into silence. He addressed a long memorial to the Governor. In which he entreated his Excellency to extend to htm the benefit and protection of the law of the land for the aecurity of bis person and property," and appealed for the liberty of the preas.

Ha criticised his persecutors without gloves, and said that he could not Imagine for a moment that la a country of civilized, enlightened people, contending for the rights ef mankind, there eould be found a set of men so Irrational, so inconsistent and depraved, aa to attempt to abridge or subvert the liberty of the press, which is Justly valued as the palladium af all aur rights, by preventing ths decent Investigation of the conduct ot public men, the free discussion of public measures, or the vindication of an Injured character." He called his persecutors a band of ruffians, composed of Continental recruits, muiattoes, or negroes, fifers and drummers," to tha number of about thirty, and said that he only surrendered to them to prevent th effusion of human blood." He said that this motley crew extorted, under A penalty of carting him "through the streets with a halter about his neck, and with many other inhuman insults and indignities." the secrets of his business." and to sign a paper containing the most ridiculous and absurd concessions, altogether foreign to th language of his pea and his heart" I The Governor and Council took no official action In the matter, and July 17 th Indomitable Goddard published la The Journal another declaration. In which he said: By publishing certain Queries Political and Military In The Maryland Journal of the th Inst 1 have not transgressed against truth, justice, or my duty as a good citizen, and, as I have pever given Just. cause of offense to his Exoellency.

After Oswald's experWnc with a Baltimore mob he removed te Philadelphia, anl In AptiL 1782.
