power OF the Press
So mighty is the Press that a mere
recital OF the names of the chief papers of
this State and country will express the
present sociological conditions that
agitate mankind.
A distinguished Citizen as alert as an
Argus, one morning recently was in CON-
pany with Herald, upon whose banner
was patriotic device in GOLD LEAF.
They were soon engaged in a discussion
OF the Times as recorded in the Public
Ledger, the Gazette and the Journal, when
an Observer who Chronicles the Neus said,
| the present agitation OF the masses not
only affects the .Southerner but the Econo-
mist tells us it extends around the Globe.
The Sun in all his course across the blue
dome that stretches above the Home of
the american, has never witnessed so
| many dangers as now threaten the
Nation. An eminent Democrat here re-
| marked that Review of the Progress of
the World will show that the Anglo Saxon
| has been ever in Advance of every other
| race and that he is the Mirror in which
may be seen those characteristics which
are ikest God on earth.
Herein lies the hope OF the Sunny South,
| and especially does this fact animate
the North Cdrolinian. Woe to the Consti-
| tuition and the Union, should the Caucasian
| prove false to his career of q thousand
years and thesublime duty of the hour. In
that event the Landmark (s) planted by
our fathers would be destroyed, and their
| labOrs prove as useless as the search Of
the Argonam(s) for the golden fleece.

| ditions may be seen the grand truths
| whose realization will save this Republic
from the dangers that threaten, and en-
| able it Phoenir like to arise from the ashes
| of want and wretchedness showered upon
| it by the destroying volcano Of Republi-

| A Watctman OF the peoples rights faith
full to duty as the Sentinel at Pompeii Or

the pathway of civilization a Free Press
has been one of the most potent of Chris

the chief hope OF Our Country is, that this
institution will shed it's benefcent rays

OF laboring men OF this and other coun-
tries, and indeed upon all OF us, until like
