NORTH CAROLINA,


NORTH CAROLINA, H..
The Old North State seems to have bees
favored by Providence this year in her ag-
ricuitural products. The wheat crop was
very fair indeed. and we learn that the
yield OF Indian corn is slmos, anexampled,
especially in the Eastern PARTON oi The.
State. The late propitioas weather has al
50 enabled the planters to secure all their
|cstton.
Il i pleasant to Us to have to record this
news about North Carolina. In very
large part Of the State last year tire farmers
suffered terribly from The laziness o. the
new voters. their incorrigibIe propensity to
thieving. and the unpropitious weather.
The latter caase Of distress mol having op~
prated this season, save in few localities,
the farmers have TO contend only with the
lazy and thiesish nature inherent in the
African. Until they receive help from Ia
migration this population must be ever a
drawback TO their prosperity but the tiae
mssi soon roll round when better speciea
m labor will assist in developing the re-
sources Of North Caroline. rs ~1asal
We trsst that the vote this Fall Of the
Old North State will be an earnest OF the
success that will attend the efforts Of the.
people TO rid themselves at the proper time
fof fthe fncobusoi Rsdfcaiism, when We hops
that North Carolins will witness to some
extent return Of her former prosperity.
A grand old State 10 she--with elements
OF greatness second 10 those Of no other
member Of the Union. When We behold
the infinite mineral resources Uf the West.
ern and Middle regions OF North Carolina,
the streams with sites for factories strung
along 10 countless numbers, the msgnih-'
cent tobacco districts Of the Piedmont md
Eouniain county, the eatton districts So
productive Of that rich staple. the wheat
lsBds of ihree-fourths oi the State, the
corn lands Of the East as productive as the
land Of Goshen. the rice low. grounds oftbs
Southern rivers, aud The immense fisheries
Of the sosnds--vhen We consider all these
advantages OF North Carolina we are not
saying too much in declaring herts be one
ef the finest portions Of the esrth. s.
Her noble population is veil worthy 81
's1ch csuntSy. Though cast down for
while, her prosperity will reteru Shen her
political status is worthy Of her people
q change Tor the better must take place Of.
ter while, asd she will then receive JUS
iiee. The tyranny under which she 10 now
kept down may oppress her, but il cannot
degrade her. North Carolina will
develop her peerless elements Of greatness.
and attain that position to which she hes
been. destined by the Creator. f..
