The North-Carolinian., 1858-01-30

Church in North Carolina should likewise do
her duty to her children. 1t is conceded sind
important fact, that hundreds of our members
will take State paper who will take no other
The Paper is needed to be the organ of Sut
Synod and Presbyteries- to elevate and en
tighten the piety of our membership by diffa$ps
evangelical knowledge-to promote the cahse
of Education-to deveope the talents of bur
Ministry, and to strengthen the attachment Of
our people to the soil and sanctuares Of Their
own State
If our Church in other States, and 9th
Churches in this State, can supply their mi Im-
bers with religious journal, why may not te?
& Are North Carolina Presbyterians inferiof in
lent, energy and patriotism to their neighlt trs
the North or South, or to Christians To-
other denominations at home? With a.
same or better opportunities OF accomnljstt
this work shall we leave it undoue?. Ia H.
language OF one Of our most able and usf fI
Ministers, an adopted son OF our State, 1T
ought to have been undertaken 30 years ako,
but it is not too late to begin to do right"
In the last two or three months, & fund ot
about $4,000 has been subscribed as n perm9-
nent capital. i meeting Of tie contributors
held at Greensborough on the l4th of May
Rev Baker, r,Chairman.-thePape was un-
animousiy located at FayetteviE1er under the
name and title of the NORTH CAROLINA PREs-
ByrERIAS. Rev Vm. n Mebane and Rev
G Gorge McNeill were elected Editors: Rev

Baker and c. H. Wiley, and 'Messrs George
McHeill, Sr., John III. Cook aud David Muir
ply were appointed an Executive COMMITTEE,
to establish the Paper and manage its business
affairs
1t is our wish and design to make the N4esxH
CAROLINA PRESBYTERIAN journal of the fTst
class, equal to the best in the country in typo
graphical appearance and in adaptation to the
wants of our Churches. Its columns will afford
the latest intelligence, both foreign and domes-
tic, and special care will be taken to give full
and accurate summary of State news. The
name Of the Paper is designed to be an expo
nent of its character and contents. From con
viction, it will advocate the conservative Or
thodox, Old School doctrines and order of the
Church.
Our first appeal is to our own people-to n
G. Presbyterans. Whilst we rely confidently
upon their favor, trust that the native sons
of North Carolina who have found homes in
other States, and the adopted citizens of our
State who form SO important au element in our
Ministry and membership, will take deep
interest in this enterprise, and give it their
hearty support.
