OF THE
North Carolina Presbyterian.

Il long labored under serious disadvantage from the
want of journal to advocate her claims Ind eI resent
her interests Il is estimated that only one thousand
Presbyterian Weekles are taken in the bounds Of our
three Presbyleries We have thirteen thousand Com
munican,s, and it is safe TO infer that there are thirty
thousand Presbyterans in principle in the State. Our
Synod stands filth in the Union in point Of numbers,
and her membership il greater than that OF any Synod
South OF West Of Pennsylvania. Our sister States on
the North and South, neither Of which has member.
ship so large as ours, publish the Central, and the
Southern Presbyterian for the benefit Of their people.
The time has come when the Presbyterian Church in
North Carolina should likewise do her duty To her
children. Il is conceded and important fact, that
hundreds OF our members will take State paper who
will take other. The Paper needed 10 be the organ

knowiedge-to promote the cause Of Educaton--to
