The Editor Explain.
T Uje Editor pf Xbe Obaenrer; ,
Pardon in this, whatever may seem
to b&lntrusive,' arid iekfrig"the correc
tion -of twoi articles w.hicU,JTBcently ap
peared in your columns. The article
signed In the Stat of on,"and
whicli you saw ,fit jto severely , criticise,
pronouncing sentence upon the editor,
found itS-way into Or columns with
out our slightest knowledge, being in
Montgomery, Ala., at the time. A sub
seqoenfc artiele says the editor' of- the
Starpfion hasjbeen displaced, one A.
S. Riciiardsohi of Concord, substituted.
The reason of the correctionls nt that
we liave ever felt timid in reference to
current events, but because we have
taken no pride in stirring up old by-gone
feuds ; and secondly, the article in your
columns' Was calculated to mislead the
j udgefflent of you r readers i in refer
ence.to our disposition. We peremptori
ly resigned the editorial control and
management of the paper, because in
our judgment, authorities did not take
the interest in it we expected.
We hope this will disabuse the false
impressions made.
