Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1858-08-11

For the Spirit Of the Age,


Mr.. Eoroa You and your prosy Sons
of II. have been driving on so tamely Of
late, that DIKos and his like, have not been
much disturbed by your noise, and of course
but little care WAS felt for the interest Of
the monopoly. That grand institution of
the State, so carefully guarded bv law and
agents ''of good moral character" has been
.compisling It's work so bravely, that
D,kos could afford to let You and your Sons
Of T. work ON without moestation or lee
tnFe A recent event has, however, oc
Cured so refreshing in It's character, that
you must permit Dikos to glory over you
a little; and show Won how your Sons Of
+. are coming to their senses, and what
worthy deeds they are achieving for the
cause of law and the permanent institutions
Of the State.
Y0u pust talk Of this matter softly, and
give the names as Dikos writes them; for
You know men are sensitive, and Dikos
will not suffer the interests Of the monopo-
" TO be damaged by suppression of names;
and you know names aud character give
dignity to callings and pursuits. When
Dtkos leeturcd YOU, a few seasons ago, about
Your mischief, you thoughtit funny enough
To tell your readers about what he was
charging on you; butuow when the scales
are turned in favor ol the affairs of the mo-
nopov, YOU must tell all he says, or else
bear the infection in silence. You mast
tell all 4; or else Dikos will not only charge
you with being noisy, and interfering with
legal privileges, but of acting worse, in re-
fusina instice to vested interests.
II you are not inlorme J, | viii inform
you that there was a county in North Car
olua, Of respectable size, that the Temper

The Oh fogivs were content to forego the

were orderly houses kept by men Of good
moral character. This you are aware Is

To make things ready for the expected
