borer as the old man of the sea fastened hlmsef
on the back of Sinbad the Sailor. 1t Is time
that they were shaken of and compelled to
sweat for themselves"
We heartily endorse the above sentiments.
The South is not the place, nor is this the time
for idlers All must work. The drones must
leave the hives, or become workers. These
"stout Young men" must take off their coats,
and seize tile plough handles, or the hoe; or
they must enter the workshops Of the land, and
fit themselves for first class mechanics They
must reco!lect tina. life of idleness is life OF
unhappiness; and that the busy man alone en-
joys true pleasure. The life Of none is so truly
Joyous as that of the farmer. Try it, young
men, and if you shall find, when age has silver

vice, we will hold ourself personally responsible
! for all damage, which you may be enabled to
show that you have sustained.-Newtcrn Times

| SENsIBLE.-Mr S. d. Pool has assumed edlto-
| rial control of the Newbern Journal of Commerce
| formerly the Times), and in entering upon his
duties makes the following sensible remarks:
1--WE shall have little to say upon questions of
national politics. We prefer to await such de-
veopments as the coming three months will I'M
fold. Untold injury is done to many good cause
by Incorporate expressions on the part of those
who may favor it. The entire South. with few
exceptions, favors the policy of President John
son and the President knows this, and but little
need be said upon the subject. The political
contest, for the present is at the North. and we
render no aid to the Presidents friends there,
but may do them much harm. Where we
can render aid, and may do injury, we deem
it a duty to pursue policy of mastery mac
tivity,' doing but little politically, and saying
less. While shall thus quietly await the
progress of events, shall be deeply interested
spectator of those events. the grand moving
panorama shall gradually be unroled before our
gaze"
If all Southern newspapers would quit discuss
ing national politics, wait until the Southern
people were permitted to take part in the affairs
of the nation. it would not only promote
peace and quiet but would deprive enemies
at the North of great deal Of their electioneer-
ing stuff
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1866-10-30

Eg A New York paper expresses doubt of
the soundness of universal suffrage. The char
acter of the crowds that collect around the polls
in the North on election day, and the means used
TO influence popular sentiment, prompt this dis
trust and it is folly to expect judicions decisions
of great national questions from an ignorant, i'm
pressible populace. manipulated by adroit dema-
gogues. The voice of the people is not the voice
of God, every time there is no more nfallibility
in masses of men than in individuals, and
matter Of fact we know that the people sometimes
decide great questions unfortunately, and elect
unfit men to office.

sometimes bride the real members to vote for

ton of this kind prevails. Heretofore this bust
ness has been carried on by men, but now it is
becoming the fashion for females to engage in it
because it is supposed they can exercise more
