ADDRESS; ON THE HISTORY OF JOURNAL" 1S.T1 IN NORTH CAROLINA, Delivered Before the Pres AoiJa tion, at Winajton, on tUWlut Day of June, 1881, BY W. W. HOLDEN. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Gentlemen of the North Caro lina Press Association : I learned, with equal Surprise and .gratification, that I had been chosen to deliver this address; surprise, because 1 1 have not the honor to belong to your body, and pave been ronearly ten years out 6f the editojisOarfiesagrat- $hottld nae teea rJleireoyrneIij theman, JC&dnbf tfier-maiiciomoe'' t I nawapBroadhed- theSdlEjii ef jJarmg' this paper with hesitation and aniiety Bihceith task of writlnsf ttia history of journalism in North Caro lina is one which no man can adequate ly perform; and since . also 1 nave to follow the distinguished editors, your self, (Mr. Battle,) in 1878 ; Mr. Cameron, in 1879, aud Col. R. B. Oreecy, in 1880, who were the selected speakers for those occasions. . . We learn front Martin's history of North Carolina that printing was in troduced into this State in 1749, by James Davis, from Virginia, who set up a press in Newborn. His paper was a small weekly, and was called the North Carolina Gazette. His paper continued six years. On the 27th of May, 1768, its publication was resumed, and continued until the revolutionary war. The second press was by Andrew Stewart, Printer to the King, at Wil mington, in 1763, called the Cape Fear Gazette and Wilmington Advertiser. This paper ceased in 1767. In 1767 Stewart's paper was succeded by Adam Boyd's Mercury, which ceased-during tne revolutionary war, The first reyisal made in this State of the laws was printed by James Davis, Newbern, State Printer, in 1752. From the color of the leather with which it was bound, it was called the "yellow jacket. . ,IjtU7W newspapers werfr printediat NewbemWiliningtor ton and HUisborpugh. . Had 'copies iof tnese papers, says '-vvneeierr ueen pre sedJJ the State archives, tteLhlatey of that period would have been much better known than it is. In 1812 papers were printed at Raleigh, . Newbern, Wilmington, Edenton, Tarborough, MurireesDorougn, ayettevilie and Warrenton, but there was no paper west of Raleigh. Gov. Swatn, writing in the University Magazine, February, 1801, says "We possess copies in a pretty good state of preservation of all the acts of the General Assembly, passed' and printed during the revolution. The pamphlet containing the laws of Oc tober session, 1779, consists of 34 pages, 10 small iono. tne remainder in quarto. The continued scarcity of paper in 1781 compelled the public printer to Adopts a similar arrangement Eveq writing paper was not always at the command of men in high official station." He adds that he had thought that the earliest paper mill established in the State was by Gotlieb Shober. at Salem, in 1789, but he ofiera proof that there was a paper mill at Hillsboro, in 1778. There were four printing offices in operation during the revolutionary war, one at Newbern. another at Hali fax, a third attached to the army of Uornwallis. and a fourth in the armv of Gen. Greene.. I have in mv possession a bound file of the North' Carolina Chronicle or Fayetteyllle" Gazette, printed rn 1790. It is a very small weekly, six by seven inches. It was pointed by George T?j"llllat"VTin Trtr.TnTkTi Sihln Xr. Cr of Franklin's Head, in 'G.reene street, Fay etteville, at "three hard dollars per annum." Like all the papers of that period, and indeed of the early part of the present century, this paper contain ed little editorial but is made up of for eign and t domestic news, advertise ments, legislative and congressional proceedings, and the like. Probably two of the most remarkable and useful men who' ever lived in this State were Francis Xavier Martin, a native of France, and Joseph Gales. Sen., a native of England, Mr. Martin was born in .France in 1764, and died in New Orleans in 1846. ue settled In Newbern in 1786. and for I ...l,Jl Lt. it.

Where upon, in 1794, he left England with his family and came to the United States in 1795, having "BPt some months on his way, at Hamburg, Germany. Af ter residing four years in Philadelphia, during which he carried on the print ing business, he was induced -by -Mr. Macon and ether .friends - to transfer his establishment to Raleigh, where, on the 22tad of 0dbfer, 1799, he establish ed the Raieijferr ( VriV I have in my possession' the first vol ume of this papr,Jruflin two years from the first number inclusive.

Like the Intelligent, cer, at Washington, established by his; eldest son, Joseph Gales, Jr.; and cohl ducted for so many years Jty Gales H Seaton, the latter one of- thesons-in-lawi of Joseph Gales, Senior, the Register did not teem rwith editorials, especially while in the hands of the Senior Gales. The seniors among us - will- recollect that the Intelligencer :spoke to the country not oftener than once a week, but when it did speak, in surport of or in defence of its principles, $ was with such f ullness,discrimioatioa and power, that the whole country was moved and impressed. Edward J. Hale, Sen., Esq., who was reared as a printer in the Reaister of fice, and was a member? many-years of Mr. Gales' family, in a recent letter to me says: , -The feeling in regard to editorials in that day was well expressed by that eatinent JawyerPeter Browne, "who complimented me 'for good sense, half a score of years later,) in giving the news and eschewing editorials ; lam sure I wiflrje pardoned for making" further eitracts from Mr. Hale's letter. He says: "Mr. Gales was a man of nniirinc in- dustry. Besides editing the: if egister, uo Kepi an ms accounts, made out bills, gave receipts and conducted a book store. He was also a director in a bank, secretary of nearly every benev olent society in the city, member of one of the State boards, r&c His ac complishment as a short hand writer was of grieat advantage to him in all these occupations. . He was never idle, . When hot occupied by company of which there was a great deal athis house, attracted by his own reputation for sound sense, and by the hospitality of his brilliant wife and ac complished danghters, his eyenfnga were deVbted to writing; and reading.

Gales"p second daugh ter, was associated with him as editor. Mr. Gales, Senior, being the whole or part owner of the Intelligencer, at Washington, edited by Joseph Gales, Jr., transferred to Mr. Seaton a half interest in that paper, and he removed to Washington in 1812. The whole world knows how eminent the Intelli gencer became under the conduct of Gales and Seaton." . he editors of the Inteliigenper anw joyed, the personal friendship, a,nd were the social peers of such men aa Madi son, Monroe, John Qumey Adams, Webster, Clay Jackson and Randolph.
