Columbus, Cincinnati, St. Louis aud New Orleans,
stopping at several intermediate places. He will

JUDGE STRANGE FOR THE VICE Presidency. We
have understood, though have not the pub
shed proceedings. that meeting of the dem ocracy
OF Dupn county was held during the last week, he
ing the week of County Court, and that the Hon.
Robert Strange was recommended by it a candi-
date for the Vice Presidency of the United States.
The endorsement Of any man by the sterling democ-
racy of Dup!in. would alone be high recommended
ton, and we rejoice that the first popular movement
in favor of this distinguished gentleman and eminent
statesman comes from them. Let the democracy of
North Carolina come forward and claim what is their
due, at the hands of the great Democratic Party of
the Country. Does not that Party owe US something
for the high position in which have placed our
State, redeemed it is from the msrule of the
Wing party! Judge Strange's qualifications for
the Vice Presidency unquestonable. Were
he chosen to fill that high Office, he would reflect us-
ire upon North Carolina. Let fellow democrats
in their respective county meetings to be held
throughout the State but express their preferences
in this matter and their voice will be heard and heed
ed by the great Democratic Party.

CHEAP NEWSPAPERS. Cheap and good.'' hasa
very attractive sound for most ears, but the terms
hardly convertible for, in almost every case, what is
gained in reduction of price, is, somewhere, lost in
quality. To make an article really good, there mast
be good material and good workmanship; and these
gard 10 newspapers anything else. 1t is therefore
as impossible 10 make really good newspaper at
gerry low price, is TO make good furniture. There
must, in the nature of things, be poor material and
the absence of superior talent, for both of these
mand fair prices.
Of all instances Of doubtful economy practised by
very many persons, think shat the most unpfof!a-
BILE which leads to the choice of paper for family
reading, because offers itself public favor the
mere claim of cheapness. What fifty cents,

well being of a whole family Here, if anywhere,

economy.
