The End of the Volume.
The present number closes the sixth volume of the
Journal, and again imposes upon us the pleasing du
ty of returning our most sincere Acknowledgements
fer the very liberal and unwavering support which
itoontinues to receive from the Democracy of Eastern
North Carolina But combined with this, there is
another duty equally pleasant-that of congratula-
ting friends upon the glorious triumph which our
cherished principles have achieved in this State For
years we have toiled and struggled but apparently
in vain until at last has crowned efforts,
coming like bright ray of sunshine to tighten up
the darkness and gloom which hang over the politi-
cal horizon We are not without hopes that the po-
sition assumed by North Carolina in the recent cleo
tion may exert favorable influence the settle
ment of the distracting questions which now agtate
the country. The current of opinion, both ut the
North and the South, seems to be setting towards
the Democratic party the only haven of rest and
safety amid the storm of sectional agitation which
now sweeps over the country and threatens, in its
devastating course, to rcnd asunder the Union and
make shipwreck of the hopes of millions who look to
our country the last hope of down-trodden human
ity The late election in North Carolina was essen
TALLY triumph of the people, and had the people
voted less according to and more according to
their principles, the result would have been still
moro decisive. AS it is we will have the pleasure
of commencing the seventh volume in Democratic
State If our humble exertions, in connection with
our brethren of the Democratic press have contrbu-
ted anything towards this desirable result then will
our labor not have been in vain and We will go on
our way rejoicing with the firm determination to
make the coming volume still more worthy of the
confidence of the public in general and of the DEM
ocratic party in particular. That we can do So our
increased facilities and additional experience war
rant as in believing; at any rate we can, at least
pledge ourselves to spare no exertions.
During the coming winter the Legislature of North
Carolina will be in session. and its proceedings will
be matter of interest to every citizen of the State
at the same time that the critical position of our
tiona politics must continue to engage the attention
of ALL and render knowledge of passing events a
necessary means of existence to every intelligent
man. The best way to obtain such knowledge is
through the columns of good newspaper-and, talk
ing of good newspapers, permit US, with our charac
teristc modesty, to suggest the journal" We are
happy to believe that paper gives satisfaction to
its large circle of readers and subscribers and we'll
are we pleased with the latter that We ready to
take as many more of the same sort. We hope that
the rest of mankind will take the hint, and imme
dately enroll themselves among the subscribers Of
the " Journal" Walk up, gentlemen, don't be bash
full, if we are.
To conclude, we, the Editor, write this among the
incorrigible Wings of Arson, whittier we have went
for the benefit of readers, who will get better
paper from our worthy Associate than if We ourseIf
had been at home, which we will be in day or two,
and ready to go again into harness. By the way we
have picked up two Alligator eggs and Puppy with
no fore-legs which is said to be curiosity We wish
to be understood that it is real dog puppy, not
man puppy, which is curiosity at ALL
