For the North Carolina Stapd,r I'd.

Ma. HOLDEN My object in writing this com
munication is to call the attention of the literary
and reading portion Of the Old North State" TO
fact, that ought 10 exci.e feelings of the most
pleasurable emotion in the bosoms of all. II a
very short time Novel by a native North Caroli-
MAN will issue from the Press of the Messrs Har-
per fact that has excited the astonIshment of all
the Editors, authors and publishers. and ALL in
New York and Philadelphia; for it is rule of the
Messrs. Harper TO publish no untried work of an
unknown author. But they have too strong
guarantee in the nleri of the work ITSELF and in
the numerous eacomiMns that have been passed
upon il by the FIRST Critics Of the country hes-
tate to publish il. The Rev. Rufus w. Griswold,
scholar, critic and gentleman, has pronounced it
" original and fresh with indigenous scenes and
characters drawn with spirit aud felicity, and is
obliged TO be successful from lis merits, &c. :"
Nearly all the political and literary papers OF the
North have spoken in the highest and most unqua-
fed terms of il, and some have emphdIicaily pro-
nounced the author a man OF genius.
Without any reputation as writer, unknown
TO glory and TO fame, 1" and with no patronage but
genius and unwearied industry. the gifted author
Of " "ALAMANcE" " has excited an interest and Gre
ated greater sensation among the authors and
critics of the Northern cities than was before
equalled by any Southern, and particularly by any
son of North Carolina. Then let citizens
stand by their author and by their State. and suffer
not the North To outstTip them in generosity,
le, them show more interest and anxiety about one
Of our otDn ndtioe sons Than We show ourselves.
would remind citizens Of the great anxiety,
and now awful Inc suspense that must atWaYS Ill
an authors mind for his works are either 10 be
committed 10 Immortality and live as long as the
language in which they written, or to be thrown
among the rubbish of the world, iheie TO mouIder
and decay. The hopes Of the author are lighter
than air; and a kind and apPlaadins word from
generous public may elevate the intellect and TO-
sure the success of an author, when a harsh and
undeservIng criticism may crush him in the dust,
and blast his every hope. ..s ..-s..s-..
The writers of this State few and far be.
tween" No one from among US has published
work that has become "famous." Our literature
is particularly backward; and unless those bright
lumnaries who are able to give tone TO IL and to
elevate our thinking be encouraged, welcomed
kindly, and greeted with applause by our citizens,
then must we remain stationary, and be
eclipsed by other States whose amount Of talent is
not equal to our own. An opportunity is about TO
offer ITSELF and let no one fail TO give the author
his need Of praise Let every one who loves his
native Carolina stand by the author of "Alanlance," !"
and when his work shall appear among US, let us
read with favorable and INDUCING eye, and beg
tow upon the young author that CONNIE mendation
that is so justly due him:
