THE NEW PAPER

- n
1t seems that New York tactics are to be In
troduced into North Carolina in the getting up and
publishing of the 'sNorth Carolina Statesman y II
is the custom among corrupt and broken down poll
tlcians in that State to raise money by subscriptions
to employ Editors, and go to work to aaanstacture
public sentiment; and the same custom is to be
adopted here. Money, we learn, has been subscrib-
ed by various persons, at Mr.. Venabe's earnest per-
sonai solicitation for the purpose of starting this
new paper and this money is to be used until such
time as the paper may become able to sustain itself
This paper can do no good under the circumstan-
ces, to the Democratic cause; and as some of the
planks in its platform are more or less of Whg ma
teria we think it would have been quite as well and
much more becoming in Mr.. Venable to have handed
the money over to Mr.. Gales or Mr.. Doub, of the
Register and St2E- at least to have made them
e tender of it. I'VE have no doubt they would
spurn it. especially if coupled with the condition that
they should advocate his claims endorse his vani-
ties and concets; but then, as matter of ordinary
justice, under the circumstances we think he ought
to have made the tender The Register and Star have
done much more for the cause of distribution than
this professed organ ever can do and besides, in
opposing the honorable acquisition of Cuba as Mr.
make no sacrifices of pledges or position,
We take this occasion to state that we|have uni
formy relied upon the of the people for pat
ronage and support We have never sought patron
age either at the hands of the Federal or the State
governments, or from corporations and if the DEM
ocratic masses should to think so little of
our services and principles to decline to en-
courage us by individual subscriptions, we will
abandon our place and leave the field to such jour-
nails as may have been established either by charity
or vengeance subscriptions. No club of men shall
ever have in their power to point to their hundred
dollar contributions, and say to US, do our pill-
never! This paper is the organ of the Democratic
people, not of mere politicians of disappointed as
pirants nor yet of long-pursed men who vainly i'm
agne that the press can be swayed and public opin-
Nion manufactured by dollars and cents

well but the moment when, from considerations Of
duty or regard obligations, he shall speak

We speak from experience, and we cannot be mis-
taken in what we say. 60
1t is unnecessary, we trust that we should remind
the people that the public press is after ALL their most
yigant and disnterested sentinel and their surest
reliance in times of trial It has its faults it is true
but then it can have fewer motives than mere polti
cans to deceive the people mislead them in public
aftars' Presses properly conducted are the organs
ct The people, for they seek not so much to dictate
ana lead as to speak for and inform Editors of ex-
perlence and possessed Of even ordinary knowledge
OF human nature know that efforts to influence the
people against their own interests and in favor Of
themselves or of particular men, are always unpopu-
lar and fe luenty abortive and dictaton, whenever
or however attempted to meet as it deserves,
with popular rebuke. In addition to this the Editor
who studies his duties and is devoted to them is in
better condition than mere politician to take calm
and general survey of things he receives his infor
nation daily from all quarters-he turns it over in
his mind and reduces it to shape and uses it to the
best advantage for his cause; and, looking to the
people as his supporters and friends more than to
what are called leaders in his party, he is constantly
nerved to maintain principle under all circumstan-
ces and to go for the greatest good to the greatest
number without regard to men. He knows for in
stance that if he should sustain one man in prefer
ence to principle, the whole cause, so far as he is
concerned will be endangered; and he knows, also,
that has sures of success in his profession is
to cling to the Masses who alone have the power to
sustain and reward. He has, in word, almost every
motive to keep him in the right path and on the side
of the people and their rights; and that day will be
sad one for public liberty in this country when the
people shall discard these sentnels upon the watch
tower, and give attention and preeminence to brawl
ing demagogues, who have nothing to recommend
them but "much speaking" and the facility with
which they change their tactics and their principles
The press is expressly referred to and protected in
all free Constitutions of the bulwarks of public
liberty 1t is therefore, so to speak, great Constitu-
tional establishment fathers felt its advantages
and benefits, and this generation, we-are sure, will
neither discredit nor disown it because It is true to
the people and their cir rights. e; III 'S y

GREENE G. BRoSsoN, ESQ.,, New York
The first letter of Mr. Guthrie, it is seen, was i'm
perfectly published and though not designed for the
papers, he thus constrained to give to the pub
lie correct copy.
Presi lent Pierce was elected upon the basis of
complete cessation of the slavery agitation and he
was supported by the Democrats of New York with
outrcgard to their past opinions and position this
question. His course in relation to New York Dem-
ocrats is but the legitimate result of his position in
the campaign; and we are at loss to perceive how
any reasonably, having all the facts in view,
condemn him for this course.
The foregoing letter of Mr.. Guthrie is just what
might have been expected of the Administration by
its real friends in all quarters The Administration
has been charged wita having taken sides with the
Barnburners in New York and against the Hunkers
when the truth is has taken sides with neither but
has endeavored to conne itself in its appointments
to tho Democratic party proper, without reference to
these unfortunate divisions. This is clearly shown
in Mr.. Guthries letter, and he distinctly and en-
phatically tells Mr.. Bronson that he condemns has
course in appointing treesoilers to office We shall
see whether the Raleigh Register and other South
ern Whig papers which have been falsely charging
the Administration with freesoil tendencies win have
the fairness to lay Mr. Guthries letter before their
readers. =
s Herman J. Redfeld, who has been appointed to
succeed Mr., bronson, was one Of the Cass Electors
for the State in 1s4s and has been noted since them

Drawing a Chalk Line.
Or, REsERv1Ee THE RIGHT OF PAssAe1

"Once upon time," there came to this CITY a
young Kentuckian for the purpose of learning the
science of medicine and surgery. He was tall
and athletic, shrewd, apt and intelligent, with a
'little sprinklng" of waggishness. He was in
Quoted in the Charity Hospital, and room in the
third story given him as a study On entering
into his new quarters, he was introduced to a
young French gentleman, occupying the room
also as a student. The young Frenchman, it
seems, was very frank in his manners, courteous
yet cold, and he thus addressed his companion:
"Sir, am indeed pleased to see you, and hope
that we may prove mutually agreeable, but in or
der that it may be the case, will inform you that
l have had several former room-mates, with none
of whom could ever agree-we could never pur-
sue our studies together. This room contains two
beds; the oldest occupant, claim the one near
est to the window"
The Kentuckian assented.
"Now," says the Frenchman, "I'll draw the
boundary line between our territories, and we
shall each agree not to encroach upon the others
rights" and taking a piece of chalk from his
pocket, he maGe mark OF division, midway,
from one side of the room to the otter. "Sir, y
he added, 81 hope you have no objection TO the
treaty"
''None in the world, sir, answered the strang-
er; 81 am perfectly satisfied with it." He then
sent down for his baggage, and both students sat
down with their books.
The Frenchman was soon deeply, engaged
while cold Kentuck'' was watching him, and
thinking what queer genius he must be, and how
he might 'fx'' him.
Thus things went on until dinner time came
The bell was rung; the Frenchman popped up,
adjusted his cravat, brushed up his whiskers and
moustaches, and essays to depart.
'Stand sir p said the stranger, suddenly placing
himself, with toe to the mark, directly in front
of the French student; ''if you that line you
are a dead man.
The Frenchman stood pale with astonishment.
The Kentuckian moved not muscle of his face.
Both remained in silence for some moments, when
the Frenchman exclaimed, sis it possible that 1
did not reserve the right of passage?
''No sir, indeed you did not and you pass this
line at your peril"
"But how shall get out of the room 90
"There is the window which you have reserVed
to yourselEyou may use that; but you pass not
that door-asy door, which you generously left
me-"
The poor Frenchman was fairly caught He
was in quandary, and made all sorts of explana-
tons and entreaties. The Kentuckian took COM
passion on him and thinking that going out of a
third story window was not ''whatit was cracked
up to be- said to his new friend, s'sir, in order
that we may be mutually agreeable, I'll rub out
that hateful chalk line and let you pass
The Frenchman politely thanked him and since
the settlement of that boundary question" they
have been the very best friends.

We avail ourself of the kindness of one of our
citizens, to make the following extract from pri-
vate letter, received by him few days since,
from Oxford. 1t will be seen that the writer
makes no pretensions to being politician. but is
merely one of the people. Heis not interested in
political matters, further than to justice done
to ALL and, therefore, the most implicit reliance
can be placed on what he says. Read it:
