MEssRs. EDITORS: - Laying aside our
hitherto besetting sin of political strife and
agitation, hope the people of North Caro-
lima and the South generally, will vie with
! each other in the march of intellect, science
and improvement. The field is wide enough
for all. Commerce, the liberal arts, science,
agriculture, manufactures in this one State,
invite the participation of all men-capi-
talists, mechanics, farmers, planters, mer-
chants and artisans. Let then, the people
of the /" Old North State" in their capacity
as citizens and land-holders assemble, as
some have done already, in public assem-
! blies, and pass resolutions encouraging i'm
migration from the hills and valleys of the
North, to our fair Southern land.
There may be many men in our midst who
will raise objections to this course of pro-
ceeding. But let me ask these men, are we
not men of a common country? Do we not
believe the men of New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Ohio, and indeed New England,
are as energetic and economical, are Just as
good neighbors and citizens, as are the
Swedes and Germans, the French or Hollan-
ders? Have not our hands, "once CORY
with our brothers Blood been clasped in
holy friendship? Has lot the government
of our country acted generously in the mat
ter of amnesty and political pardons Can
they doubt that it will rebound to the in
terests of the South?
Ours is lovely cline. In our yards bloom
the lilly and the rose; our giant oaks are
incompatible. The elm and pine, the cypress
and the hickory, are our native growth. The
soil is admirably adapted to the cultivation
OF cereals, tobacco, cotton, and vegetable
production. Our minerals are world renown-
ed. Internal Improvement with giant stride
has passed from our seaboard to the noun
tains on our western border, and binds US
with iron bands to the sister States on the
North and South. All we now want is an
extension of what has already been accom-
plished. For this capital is requisite, and
also men to manage and superintend the dis
bursement and application of this treasure
l live in hope. CENSOR.
