Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1859-08-19

ating largely in section OF country having the same
general character as for instance the Wilmington Jour
nal, an account of some process he had tried, with Its
results B, in New Hanover another; G, in Dupin
other D, in Wayne or Edgecombe another, and so on,
such communications would be read and hints taken
from them where outside experiments in Maryland or
New York or Georgia would never be thought Of
And BESIDES these communications or hints from one
farmer to bis brother farmer of the Section pub
ished in the family paper, would be read almost as
necessity-and do more good than if they appeared
among mass of others in strictly professional period
ical
We therefore respectfully extend invitation to our
friends the farmers Of the State when they make an ex
pertinent when their observation had lead them to
the knowledge of useful important fact in agricul
ture-tAe agriculture of the State, to avail themselves
of columns for the purpose of giving to the public
the process and results experimental upon obser
we'd. AS for any dfdence about style and all that sort
of thing the that is got rid of the better ANY
Of enough to know and observe facts, who is
willing to tell just what he knows in the shortest and
planest manner will never 60 astray There isn't much
fine writing about eegraphic dispatches but they are
always read The facts and the what people
want above all they want the facts and all the disgust
tons or suggestions in the world useless in
comparison After the battle of Solferino the newspa
pers almost fought the next fght-they were eloquent
thereon but the telegraph Of the next steamers adVices
said there armistice and there would be no bat
tie just then-he next despatch said peace! and thus
five six lines Of fact worth many columns of
suppositi0n. So with communications. Such thing
happened and such were the circumstances under which
it did happen That's all.
B2g@ Our friend of the Newbern Progress in his issue
of the 18th instant, while agreeing in the main with
US in the that have gone to produce the late re-
verses sustained by the Democratic party in this State
goes farther and insists that personal considerations at
least considerations connected with the promotion
| nonpromoon Of particular men ought to be consdtr
ed and taken az account of. Now, for own
part we must say we really think that we have had
enough and too much of merely personal matters already
The squabbles Of men, openly in Virginia and secretly
in North Carolina have had enough to for, al
ready and surely good possibly be expected to
arise from their rc-agitation.
The Progress thinks that great evil to the party
has arisen from the promotion Of T. L. CIngman and
the nonpromotion of Messrs. W. W. Holden and David
S. Reid. 1t also thinks that the Standard not pro-
perly sustained in its efforts to fniliarze the minds O.
the people of the State with the necessity Of certain
amount of aXaOn-of increased revenue, to meet the
demands which State works would necessarily make upon
the treasury An Edgecombe Democrat the Progress
says stated that the course Of the Standard this ques
ton lost its editor the nomination for Governor.
i We at least not responsible for Mr.. Clingman'c
Senatorsbip. Years ago when Mr.. Clingman near

cused of having placed it then beyond his grasp by
carefully written editorial appeal to Democrats in the
Legislature not to place in their front ranks as the
cpen of the highest honos the party could bestow,
! gentleman WHO had not avowed himself Demo
crat in whatever private assurances night be given
fthc fact OF his being in reality We cannot now agree
with the Progress It's denunciation of Mr. Clngman
as we never coud agree with his laudaors in the extrav
agant estimate they seemed to put upon his services tt
the Democratic party but it would be folly to ignore
q them altogether. With Mr.. Cngmans motives we dC
not pretend 70 interfere We always combatted thu
ideas of those who excitedy exclaimed that Mr. ngmar
had saved the State for the Democratic party Ifit haC
not been TOR the rally made in the East but especially il
the Cape Fear and Ntuse country in 1852 the Stats
woudhave gone for Scott and Graham Ithas beer
: in danger since, whatever it may be hereafter. Unor
unatey events are demonstrating daily the truth OF GU
fears about tie nature of the revolution in the Wcserl
e Reserve. 1t was not firmly based upon prncple-no
II in all cases, at any rate although we know many WIT
stand true as steel If the Democratic papers of th
State searched tor extravagant laudations Of Mr.

be found speaking of the nomination for Governor
Il made at Charlotte did The gentleman who received tn
u nomination, get vote that recoect, from any
u ty in Mr. Cugmans district except Rutherford ant
u that was voted by the town Of Wilmington. Sure
y there not then any such anagoni>m between tn
u claims of Mr. Holden and Mr.. Cingman, or betwee
the friends Of these gentlemen Surely there is not non
any such antagonism will prevent their both doin
their best fer the party-doing it cheerfully and in
. spirit of the most cordial cooperation. None at all

We do not believe that any person has lost or wi
