Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1863-08-17
A New Volume
1lzRY MONDAY By

The present No. closes the Fourteenth
Volume of!the Spirit of the Age. For four
teen long and wearisome years, we have
struggled hard and faithfully to furnish the
people Of the South with On instructive and
entertaining moral and literary Newspaper,
at such a cheap price Of subscription as to
place it within the reach of the very poorest.
In peace times and when peace prices pre-
vailed, we printed as large a paper as almost,
any in the State, at one half the price OF
subscription Of other papers. Since war
times and exorbitant war prices have pre-
vailed, we have been forced to increase our
former rates seme, but not at one.tenth corr
responding rates with almost every thing we
haveto bay for office and family uses.
As the close of a Volume approached, it
was natural to examine and see if our paper
was providing US a support. which is all we
ask. Such examination has demonstrated,
that at 50 a year for the Spirit of the Age,
we cannot make a support for our family and
meet the current expenses, of eur office
Hence we announced some weeks since that
with the commencement of a. new volume,
we should in self d~efence, have to advance the
price OF the paper. In conformity, therefore.
with this announcement, the price of the
Spirit of the Age will henceforth be as fol-
lows: s.. ...,: ..s
For a single copy, or less than four, for
one year So each.
For a single copy or less than four for 6
months So each.
For clubs of foar, or more, sent at one
time, $3.50 each.
No subscriptions received at club rates for
less than ONE year.
81 will pay for'the paper for three months
only. .
The cash must always accompany orders
for the paper.
We have receiVed*a larger sized sheet to
print the Age on in future.
Our present subscribers will be furnished
the paper at the price asked for it at the time
they subscribed, up to the expiration of their
subscription periods.
After fourteen years OF mceSSant labor on
the Age, we enter upon its fifteenth year
with a confidence that a generous and dis
= eliminating public will sustain the paper,
Notwithstanding the small increase in the
price. The advance is no choice of ours
1t is either to live on a little higher wages,
or perish at the old rates. And we appeal
to all of our present subscribers to stand
by us and to give US their aid in increasing
our list. We promise to furnish them with
a truthful, reliable weekly journal Of news,
and also present them with the choicest lit
e~rature, original and selected-in a word tc
make the Age an interesting FAMILY JOURNAL
AL our subscribers can aid us most materi
ally in procuring new subscribers, which W,
hope they will do, not forgetting to renew
their W subscriptions when they see tia
cross mark upon their papers.

We regret to hear that Mr.. Devereux has
declined the appointment of Chief Titnesman.
We think he would have discharged the del

TIE REPUBLICANS IN OPPOSITION TO THE
REsToRATIoN OF THE NIoH.-At the
late Republican State Convention 4
Worcester Maesachusset 9, Hon. George
s. Boutwell,, an Office holder under thi.
Administration, made speech 10 which
he said that for himself he was deter
mined that by no act of his no one of
these seeded States or parts of States
should return to the Union, except as
free States. Tremendous cheers greeled
this announcement.
Hon. Heniy Wilson the Senator, con-
CURED entirely in the sentiment of the
last speaker. He knew that every ef.
fort would be made to battle the policy.
Of the emancipation proclan alton. But
the President has spoken for himself,
aud he has declared that the proclama
ton can no more be recalled than yon
can call life to the dead. He va am wed
that any one in this country should OK
pect to save slavsry, which had been
tho sole cause of this war. He would
never forgive slavery and by the blessing
of God he never would forgive it, So
long as slavery lives it is hostile to
the existence of the Republic. A man
cannot be for the unity Of the Repub-
lie and for slavery.
That is the sentiment cf every friend
Of tho Administrations opposition to
the yestorstion Of the Union /! They are
no more IN favor Of the restoration Of
the Union than JEFF. Davis, and the
nan who believes they are, afier ouch
declarations, Is 1t subject for . luuatio
asvlum.

PULPIT "PATRIors." -Sometime ago
We had occasion to mention tie fact
that Rev. MI. Potter, of New Bedford,
Macs, . radical preacher, had been
drafted, aud that he had made loud and
public professions Of bis purpose to go
and fight, DC. We suggested that this
was all very well as far as it went, but
that in all probability the patriotic par
son would, like Senator Wilson, Of Mas.
sachusctts, when he raised bis regiment,
avoid the field and find refuge in some
fat place. SO it is. A Massachusetts,
paper says:
PATRIOTIC PARsoNs.-The Rev. Mr..
Potter, the pastor Of a Unitarian Society
in New Bedford, and tie Rev. Mr.. Has
kell, of Salem, Mass, have been drafted,
and heve concluded to serve 10 person.
The former gentleman was presented
with purse Of $500 by his congrega-
ticn, and has been assigned to SPECIAL
service by the War Department, where
his sphere of duty will be outside of the
heaviest artillery and the latter has
been appointed chaplain OF regiment.
Special duty and a chaplaincy differ
somewhat from fighting in the ranks, on
salt pork, ale biscuit, and SlS month.
The only difference between the present
and past position Of these devoted patri
OTIS 10, that they formerly lived on the
oredulity Of q congregation, and nov
sHbsist on sinecure Offices and the per.
vsrted benevolence of Uncle Sam.

r.vse LAST DAYS OF THE CAN.
PAIGN.

The political campaign OF 1868 /"
drawing to . close. Tho day Of cleo
lion will soon prove the ssatus Of the
people test the power OF this abolition
hurricane that has been sweeping over
the North. Tho issue between the two
parties in this State is we'll stated. So
plain il it that NO man can err in jsdg-
ment. The democracy present % nm
conditional Union man, and one IN
whom there is no lack Of confidence in
snv point of view. The abolitionists
present conditional Union man, which
means disunion. The question for the
people to decide is whether they are in
favor Of the position Of the former or the
latter, and in doing this there is little
time to be squandered. If yeu would
throw your influence in favor Of . speedy
and an honorable peace on the basis Of
the Union restored, vote for futile. II
WOW would have the tens Of thousands
soldiers who have boldly gone forth and
bravely fought orr battles, restored their
homes and the Union restored to you,
vote for futile. The plow is rusting in
the furrow, the tools OF the mechanic
are idle on the shelf, thousands and tens
Of thousands of acres of farming lands
arc laying dcsolate J fathers, husbands,
sons and brothers are absent in the tent
ed field. Ii you would have prosperity
restored and as many of those near and
dear friends as death has spared re-
stored to their homes, so throw your in
fnence so as to aid that party which is-
pledged to the restoration Of the Union
A. it was. The certainty Of the preser-
walton Of all their rights will cause the
rebels to lay down their arms and re-
turn to their homes. The wheels Of
the Government will be put, in motion in
every State. and the marshalling in arms
will be known no more.
If however, you prefer continued
war and . gloomy prospect ct the end |;
ifinstsad Of peace and uuion you prefer
war and the progress Of despotism, then
go to the polls aud vote for Stone. He
is the candidate for all such men. But
ere you do so give the matter your
most serious attention, and weigh we'll
the effect your action will have upon the
welfare Of the country. Do not allow
party zeal to blind your eyes. Victory
for tn abolition ticket is defeat to the
best interests Of the country. Before
The campaign finally CLOSES, consider
this matter well and act in such . way
that you will not be ashamed to abide
the consequences.
