toned, to-wit the pleasure of good
social chat with john ID. Cameron,
r., IN, accomplished editor OF the
| u,,r.Inr.,' Rrc1r1ll who. Ike every
/ body else, had come to see the ce!e-
l,r,ti.n. Those who know Mr.. Cam
,ro,, personally. and those who have
! hoon readers of the i'cc0,de1' while
rndcr his charge, 10 not need TO be
.,ll flat there are few gentlemen con-
,,crtcI with the North Carolina press
more reader writer's, or who entertain
sander opinions, or who can give bet
.cr reasons for them than he; and
.r,nrc rs it may seem to some, for Il
..ncwspaper man " he is rs modest as
he is meritoriors.
We are glad to know that Mr.. Cam
nron proposes to visit Wilmington be-
lore the business season shall begin,
N the interest Of his; paper and
Of his people, feeling sure that the
merchants OF Wilmington will be able
70 offer to his readers such induce
mrnts rs cannot fail to control their
trade. The new freight tariff to which
recent editorial reference was made in
the Journal will, in due time, bear
GOOD fruit.
| find that the great objection to
trading with Wilmington IN tins sec
ton, arises mainly from the delay at
Guldsboro' in the Shipment OF goods.
When this grievance shall have been
remndicd, and the consideration due
20 orlr city i'll the making OF freight
tariffs shall have been given, 1t will be
difficult if not impossible to prevent 4
large and profitable trade from gong
from middle North Carolina to Viii
mngt1n merchants.
