twill be seen by the following card of Perrin
Busbee, Esq, published on thee15th instant. that
the Democratic Signal has been discontinued
To tie Patrons Of the Democratic Signal
After the present week, the Democratic Signal
will be discontinued. have made an arrange
ment with Mr.. Holden, the Editor of the Raleigh
Standard, by which those of my subscribers who
have paid in advance will be supplied with that
paper the residue of the time for which they have
paid according the difference in the terms of the
two papers; or else, should they prefer ii, upon ap
p!icsiion the balance due 10 them will be refunded.
Mr. Holden Is also authorized TO receive all arreaIa-
ges due to the Signal.
Had l consulted peeuniary interests alone,
should doubtless have stoppedthe publication OF the
Signal al the expiration of the first year. for though
its list of subscribers was il now is quite large
one for North Carolina paper, yet the extreme
cheapness of the subscription necessarily, with
out prompt payment and an uncommonv liberal
patronage, forbade all hope of any adequate profit
from The business 10 addition to this, the Iabors
OF an Editor very frequently and seriously come in
conflict with my professional engagements-and
these, under present circumstances, and now that
the campaign is over, do not feel my self at liberty
any longer to slight.
In terminating my relations as Edtor-humble
as they have been-wilh the public, cannot let
the occasion pass, without acknowledging the
courtesy and libe rality have experienced at the
hands of my brethren of The Press in this State
10 The patrons Of the Signal, | return my sincere
and heartfelt thanks for their habItual kind for
bearance towards the faiIings and neglects Of its
Editor; and particularly are my personal friends in
various sections of the State, who have given me
their active help, assured that their kindness will
never be forgotten. PERRIN BUSBEE.
We shall send copy of the Standard this a0eek
to each subscriber to the Signal, and, in fufImen
of our engagement with Mr.. Busbee, shall send
our paper to such as have paid him in advance
according to the difference in the terms of the two
papers, until they shall have received the worth of
their money; or else, should they prefer it, upon
application the balance due them will be refunded
1t is important that the central democratic paper
should be we'll sustained, and as our list is bv no
means as large as we desire it to be, we most re-
spectfully and earnestly solicit the subscribers to
the Signal to become subscribers 10 our paper.
We intend to give our undivided attention to the
Standard, and shall labor to make it useful and
sheet both to our political friends and
the general reader. Thousands of dollars are an
nually transmitted to the North for newspapers,
and this too by persons who sincerely desire to
see our own journals prosper and improve; and
while we have no words but those of commcnda-
Iion and cordial good-felIowship for our editorial
brethren in that region, we must nevertheless be
paIdoned for limiting that one-alf of This sum, iu-
dciousy distributed among our presses at home,
would contribute in high degree to make them
as valuable, in every respect as their conductors
desire them to be. But upon this point we feel
hat we have said enough. The whole matter is
with generous and enlightened people They
have it in their power to sustain in their midst

confident that an effort is only necessary to secure
