MOST STARTLING CONSIDERATIONS A!
Reflections for the Thoughtful.

Strange that countless human beings exist and
drag through life as do the beasts Of the field,
the insects Of the earth, evincng no more thought
or reflection than though the noble faculties Of mind
were not youchsafed to them.
Many such are husbands and fathers, upon whom
sro dependent the health the well-beng, and the
happiness of a confding and afectionate wife, with
perhaps family Of children.

HE> The Weldon Patriot has a long rig
marole of mts-statements concerning the late
=" Worlds Temperance Convention" and by
way of piling as much odium as possible on
the Temperance cause, closes with following
remarks:
Nothing, in our judgment, is SO we'll cal
culated to injure thetemperance cause as the
efforts that are being made to engraft upon
the Southern mind, as a light by which to
steer, the celebrated ~efusion of a few Noytb-
ern fanatics. What such men as Horace
Greedy, Wendell Phillips, and the whole
posse Of Northern abolitionists laud, we feel
it our duty to oppose"
Now, we are free to admit that we do not
believe the cause of Temperance has been ad.
vanced by this Convention, owing to the great
length of time consumed in, and the conf,.
sion incident to, the putting down the disor
ganizers, but truth demands a vindication O
that body from the above charges. Greeley
was not a member, neither was PhilIips. All
olitionists, Infdels and all sorts of reprobate
may be In Conventions for nominating nolit
zeal candidates, and yet it affords no 200,
cause to Southern guardians, such as the Pa
triot, to refuse their support to the nominee
but if a freesoiler is in a National Temper
ance Convention, the very best reason i
therefore afforded them for opposing-nay
high duty" demands their opposition t
what ever they are in favor of. Were Their
no AboIltionists IN the Wing National Con
%vention? Yes, plenty! Did the Patriot r,
fuse to support Gen. Scott, their nominee
Not at all; it went it with a rush! Wei
there none who aided in the nomination
Gen. Pierce? Plenty of them /! Did our Den
ocrats oppose him on that account ? MOI

Enlargement.

Owing to the increase of our Advertising
patronage, we have determined upon enlarg-
ing our paper as soon as we can make the
necessary arrangements, which will be in the
course of two weeks. We desire to continue
the faVors of our friends in our advertising
department, but at the same time we do not
wish our advertisements to encroach upon
our reading columns. We are determined
to have the Spirit of the Age equal in all
respects to any paper in the country, and
shall not spare expense or trouble in making
it so. Come, friends. we shall expect a re-
turn in the way of a n increased patronage
both in subscribers and advertisements.-
The Age is one Of the best, if not the best adj
vertising medium in the State its ~circula-
ton is not only large but ENERAL; SO that
advertisers ereyy chere will consult their own
interest by placing their notices in its col
umns.
Hg~ We are also prepared to do the best
and neatest work, in the way of Books, Cir
%culacs, Mandbills, Cards, and every thing in
the JOB Printing line, and will do such as
cheap and well as any body. Send US your
orders.

The Standards Fairness.

The Editor of the Raleigh Standard copies
the following article from our paper, and
makes the annexed comment
Political masters serve /" the good people of the
State" and the Sons of Temperance very much as
certain farmers treat their oxen they call them fine
fellows, pet them fondly, slip the yoke upon their
necks, drive them high and low, and when the
days work is done, they turn them out to grass
For one we are tired of all such.-Spirit Of the Age.
The above is from the organ--not of the
temperance men-but Of the total abstinence
and prohibitory law men of North Carolina.
We pronounce it unadulterated Federalism.
The Editor of the Age is a Wing, but he had
been quite successful, up to the p%enning of
this article, In steering clear of politics. But
the pitcher which was sent SO often to the
we'll was at last broken. Ever since the DAYS
of the elder Adams and of the alien and Sc
dltlon laws, 1t has been the habit of the Fed
e~ralists thus to speak of the people. They
regard them as dangerous to themselves. and
hence they are constantly urging laws to pro.
tect them against themselves and they speak
OF them frequently, as in this case, as sub
Jects to be "yOked" and driven about by
" political masters"
NOW the people Of this country know n.
political masters" They are, themselves
the masters they govern themselves, and
politicians and public men are their servants
Any other doctrine, no matter by whom ad
vanced, is foreign from the nature of our in
stltutlons-is Federalism of the stronees
stamp Standard.
This commentary on our brief article is
forced, unwarrantable deduction from tn,
text and no other man can see in it any DO
litical tendencies. 1t is a disingenuous as
sault, made from unworthy motives, and W
refuse to plead to the charge, because of it
rank untruthfulness towards US.
With the Editor of the Standard we bav
maintained friendly relations for many wear.
and we had expected better things of him.
We have no wish to change our relation
with him: but the above is SO grossly unius
and unmanly, that we hesitate to express on,
self as it deserves. His attempt to draw u
into a political squabble with him, will be
failure. Lethim call "spirits from the vast
! deep"-they will come as soon.

The public Press.

No one moro highly estimates the blessings
a free and u~ntramelled public press than
we do. Next to freedom of conscience, do
we regard it as the richest behest of our faith
ers. 1t is the safeguard of our liberties
social, civil and religious. But every indi-
vidual of common discernment must see, that
it can only be such a safeguard, when 1t IS
sound public opinion. A licentious press is
the bane of society-a filthy. irritating gan
creme upon the body polite. The law so
holds it, and hence it condemns it as q
nuisance when it comes in contact with pri-
vate interests but the law is powerless, when
an unbridled press spreads its slime and poi
son upon the bosom Of society. An attack
upon private character or private interests,
by a liccntious writer, may be punished by
fines and Imprisonment; but where is the re-
dress Of a blasted, injured community? Its
only resource is the enlightenment and puri-
fcation of the public mind and conscience
and the withdrawal Of the sinews of war;"
from the vile and reckless assailants of the
puDllC NlIIuN. OuIOIb ULTIMATELY " vs. ~
dress of society is often too tardy, and is
not obtained until the vampire has made his
mark too deep to be eradicated.
The man then, who aspires to the high
post of a conductor Of the public press, should
weigh himself carefully in the scale of honor
and virtue. If only persons Of sound morals,
high bearing, and social virtue, are fit for the
responsible position of teachers of our chill
dren, as the public sense seems now happily
to consider, how necessary that these char
acteristics should be liked in those who con-
duct the public press? How absolutely es-
t sential that editors should not only be wise
) men, but men of infexible integrity and un-
wavering virtue. The potency for good Of
r all parties depends solely upon their being
y based upon the great cardinal virtues. TIL
t career of a party or an association may be
grand and victorious it's trophies may bt
gathered from every battle feld-fushed will
success it may extort shouts from every
mouth, and it may bind to its chariot wheels
h the victims of it's prowess-but if the public
morals-the virtues Of the people, are disre
g garded, that party mast be crushed, or til
&ate peets4es
Let the people look to it! The conducto
,e of a public press who, prompted by the loT
Of Of money or any other sinister passion, i
his advocacy of mere p~artyism-who strive
to secure the success of any party or meas
r ure, at the hazard of the public morals, is unf
for the sacred trust which he has assumed
n The public sense Should tout him, and tn
Is public Indignation must fall upon his pat
4 either sooner or later.

and one who sells on as good terms as any.
nlF Mr.. Porter, our extensive Boot and
Shoe Dealer, is just back from New York,
and already his large Store is filled, nay,
crammed, with every thing in his line. La
dies and Gentlemen, from Town and Country,
call and see him, if you want to get articles
acarranted, and on the most favorable terms.
Rs And after you have furnished your
self at Porter's, go to Biggs & Co.'s, and rig
yourself in their fine suits. They'll fit you
exactly, both in goods and price. Be GER
tain and call on them.
ia We are now in the receipt of New
York papers on the day after their date, by
the regular transmission of the mails, also
Norfolk, Petersburg and Richmond papers
the same day of their date. To the energy
and tirmness of Mr.. Branch, President of
the Raleigh and Castor Railroad, and our
worthy POSTMASTER, are the public indebted
for this Improvement and despatch, SO i'm
portant to the interests of this community.
e9F We visited Mr.. J. r. HARR1soN's ex-
tensiye establishment q few days since, and
examined critically the splendid Rail Road
Passenger Coach which he has just compile
ted for the CASTOR Road. For beauty of fin
ish, faithfulness of workmanship and excel
lence of materials, it is beyond question, su-
perior to any Coach we have seen in our tray
els from Boston to Raleigh. 1t is q credit
not only to the enterprising Manufacturer,
but to our City and State. On Dive
learn that, Notwithstanding such a Coach
} has been, and can. again be gotten up here at
home, yet the President of the North Caroli-
ma Railroad, instead Of patronizing North
Carolina industry and North Carolina Me
, chanics, has actually sent to New Jersey for
a Coach, which, when procured, will be in.
e ferior to the one just made, and will cost as
: much or more Can this be so? We are
told it is-and if true it is a just cause d
complaint and Indignation from every true
North Carolinian for thus unjustly deprivine
our home Mechanics of the advantages anC
patronage of our home improvements, which
they are prepared to execute in the best style
: If this is not so, the President should vindi
cate the Company from a charge which iustl,
7 excites the displeasure of our home people.
