HORATIO WOODSON, Oarfe
some ot tbe more
important resolutions adopted by the late
Press Convention of this State.
Remlvcd, That the material advancement and
solid prosperity of the State of North Carolina
mnst be substantially based upon the improve
ment of its system of Agriculture, upon the
development and application of its resources
for manufacturing, and above all upon the en
lightenment of the people of the State through
the influences of education by which alone
they can become conscious of, and avail them
aelve of their superior advantages.
Resolved, Thnt no more reaily and effectiTe,
because all pervading, means for the diffusion
of information exists than through the instru
mentality of the f rese.
Reaobsed. That this Convention earnestly urge
upon each conductor of a public journal in the
State tbe recognition of the true mission of the
press, and that it regard the material interests
of tbe State as embraced in iu educational en
lightenment, its agrirnltuial improvement and
its industrial development as paramount to the
less weighty, if more attractive consideration of
partisan politics; and that the press of the
State be urged to collect and disseminate all
the information' embraced in those subjects
which may be obtained in their respective lo
calities, by which our own eitisens may be in
formed and encouraged, and population from
abroad be attracted into onr territory.
. t , rr. i . . 1 . . 1 n
jtcaMveo, xnai ii is me sense ot in is conven
tion that we reiterate and recommend the pre
amble and resolutions adopted by the Associ
ation at its first annual meeting in resard to
inducing healthy immigration into the State of
North Carolina.
Resolved, That the Press of the State be re
quested to nmte in setting forth the natural ad
vantages of our sou, climate, etc, and from time
to time to lay before the public, all such infor
mation, statistics as will enable the outside
world to appreciate and understand our real
resources.
Resolved, That we recommend the appoint
ment of a committee to bring this matter in its
proper light before our next Legislature.
Resolved, That the Press of the State, as ex
pressed by this Association in Convention as
sembled, be requested to encourage and foster
the development of our resources, and that we
extend our heart v cooperation either to the
industrious mechanic or the capitalist who will
invest his mentis in mechanical pursuits.
Resolved, 1 hat in view ot the vast importance
! of the early development of tbe rich and valu
able mineral resources of the State of orth
Carolina, it is the duty of the Press of the State
to aid in dtssemminating information in regard
to the same.
Rctoleed. That this Convemion heartilv en-
dome the aeneimenls enunciated by our Presi
dent in his opening remarks on yesterday on
the participation of the press in the approach
ing campatgn, and that while tbe Convention
recognizes the necessity of zeal and vigor in the
conduct of the approaching campaign, vet cour
tesy and fair dealings are not incompatible with
the requisite degree of animation, and that this
Convention, therefore, discountenance the use
of personalities and opprobrious language, one
to another, and recommend adhesion to the
rules of conrtesv which is tbe guide of gentle
men in all the relations of social intercourse.
Received, That in our opinion, it would be
greatly conducive to the best interest of every
member for the publishers of all papers to ad-
fcere strietlv to published rates, and this Coo
It is a startling fact, says the Charles
ton Courier Niiis, that during the present
week note than two thousand pieces
real estate in the City qf Charleston have
been forfeited to the State for tbe non-payment
of State and county taxes. The
owners of the property were unable to
pay tbe taxes and the property was offered' I
for sale without finding bidders who were
willing to profit by the misfortunes of
their neighbors, and accept tax titles
which will most likely prove to be worthless.
