A HIPP! SBW TEAK.
The Morning Star senda its most
cheerful and hearty greeting to all
its friends on this the first day of the
Ne Year. We Via not preach'a mo
ral discoarse,as is the custom, or bring
in reviewtthe events of the Old Year,
last dead and forever buried. Like
all the years that have gone it has
been fall of sorrow and calamity and
suffering and bereavement4to many.
Death has been busy, and friend af
ter friend have gone beyond the flood.
There have been failures and short
comings, sins of negligence and
ignorance, or. omission ana com
mission without namber. They have
preceded as into the world beyond,
and will eome up again at the final
reckoning, when the accounts will be
audited unerringly, and when each
shall be judged according to what he
has done. Bat "the past comes not
back again;" our daty now lies with
i&e present tne active, living pre
sent. We must try to do better. We
must strive to cany oat faithfully
any good purposes we may form. It
is easy to make new resolves; it is
easier to forget them. The year 1880
will prove troublous and crucial to
many of the children of men. Many-
millions will die, and all will have
their troubles and trials.
Bat there will be progress, and
each -will have his duties to per
form and his share of responsibili
ties to meet. Good citizenship re
quires faithful conduct. Let each
endeavor to meet all obligations, po
litical, social, religious, with a single
aim, and when, the year ends there
will be no occasion for repining or
self-condemnation.
"Still in thy right hand cany gentle peace,
To silence envious tongues. Be ju9t and
fear not:
Lzl all the ends tboa aim'st at be thy coun-
Tny God's and truth's."
again salute oar readers with
the choicest wishes of the season.

nerof gathering and condensing State
; intelligence is popular with most of
V Z '' ' oar readers, and is specially valued
'r I by those living abroad. We happen
i; "r to know that the Stab is looked to
. .t for a daily record of all important
; - jwiing events in North Carolina by
4 - distant subscribers. One New York
J, businessman says he appreciates this

odbck; we have published more hau
three hundred " eqlomna ; underilhis
bead, possibly three hundred and
fifty. If published in ordmary duo
decimo volumes it would ll. some"
three volumes, which, if sold at the
usual price, would fetcfcL $1.50 each.
This is only one feature of the Star.
But consider further : we actually,
published of telegraphic news more
than one thousand columns of solid
brevier type during , the year. If
published in duodecimo volumes of
400 pages it would make not less
than seven or eight volumes. Here
in two departments only our readers
get from ten to eleven volumes yearly.
When we know how much other
matter is published in the course of
the year we feel warranted in saying
that the cheapest reading in the
world is a daily newspaper. Yoo
get it every morning for two and a
half cents delivered at your door in
sunshine and in storm, in cold or
heatl Subscribers have it mailed,
postage paid in the office by us, at
$7 00 a yean.
We mention this fact to let oar
subscribers see how much is given for
a small sum comparatively. We have
recently received very many expres
sions of hearty indorsement as to the
value and interest of the Star
through oar correspondents both from
editors and citizens of education and
intelligence. Being unsought and
unexpected we have highly valued
them, and they have encouraged us
no little.
The Star will continue to shine for
all daring the year 1880. It endea
vors to pursue the right. It tries to
make principle, fairness, justice, can
dor its end. It does not tilaim to be
infallible in its judgments, but it does
claim to be fair and honest. When-
ever we discuss a question we write
precisely what we think what we
sincerely believe to be right and pro
per, and do not concern ourselves to
consider whether this paper or that
man may agree or disagree with us.
We have independence enough to
advance our own opinions. There is
a difference between principles and
policy. We hold steadfastly to the
great underlying principles of the
Democratic party. In matters of
party policy there is always room for
a diversity of views. We teach what
we believe to be best. Others, equally
honest and equally competent, will
view questions of policy differently
and under other aspects.
We have said we do not think Mr.
m . m mm
xiiaen tne man lor lasu. lcis is a
matter of judgment and political sa
gacity. Others think he is the very
man the only man. We do not so
see it, and have so said frankly and
explicitly. 1 his opposition does not
cut us off from the privilege and duty
of sustaining him if he should be the
nominee. We have also said frankly
that Mr. Seymour was the most avail
able man. We are so satisfied of this
that we believe honestly and sincere-
ly that if nominated be would be
elected. We have used our best
judgment, after due reflection and a
survey of all the chances. Others
disagree with the conclusions we
have reached. It is a matter of pol
icy, not a matter of principle.
A til, ASS HI AKTJFACTORY.
We publish two letters to-day that
ought to interest many readers of
the Star. The Commissioner of Ag
riculture, Mr. L. L. Polk, desires to
see the manufacture of glass one of
our industries, and thinks Wilming
ton an excellent' point. The facts
set forth in the letter of Mr. Syndell
are certainly worthy of -the attention
of men of capital and enterprise. He
gives a number of reasons to show
why glass can be manufactured at
much less cost in the South than in
the North. We do not stop to men
tion the reasons given by him in this
connection, but invite our readers to
consider well what he says.
It would be a valuable addition
certainly to our other home enter
prises to have in our little city a glass
manufactory. We need a diversity
of industries, and if there is money
in the manufacture of glass there
ought to be capital enough to start
one at an early day.

During the year 1879 some distin

the following are numbered with the

Persons old - enough, to remember
the days of 18dl, have- not forgotten
the famous editorial in the New York
Herald of Monday,1 say, in yvlifoh it
encouraged the South to cut loose
and act as it' purposedr The-ery
next day it whipped around and went
the other way and was i strong1 for
threshiiig the "rebels." We are re
minded of this by some of its dis
cussions on the Maine embroglio. If
vou would know what the Herald
says you must- read- it at least two
davs consecutively. -It has a Garce-
Ion day and a Blaine-Hamlin-Morrill
day. On Saturday it whooped for
Garcelon, but on Sunday it talked
the other way and in part as follows:
"Mains etidenilv does not feel that she it
f ready to hate official jugglery decide for her
those points iomei ner constitution supposes
are to be decided by tne tow of me peopte.
There is a little difference in cases of this
kind between an old, well organized Bute,
where opinion is not. demoralized on ques
tions of common right, and one of the new
Southern States, whose ancient system was
torn up in the war; half of whose people
were slaves a few years since, whose gov
ernment is in tne bands or adventurers,
and in which a distinct conception that one
act may b more villainous than another
does not exist. Both parlies in Maine
should be and apparently are of the same
opinion on this case, because a distinct
issue of right and wrong rallies all fair
minded men on one side.

Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 27, 1879. f
Editor Wilmington Star: Sir:
The facilities possessed by your city,
and, indeed, by many points in our
eastern section, for the manufacture
of glass-ware, induces me to beg that
you lay before your readers the fol
lowing communication received from
a gentlemrn o Philadelphia, who
has an experience of over thirty years
in some of the largest establishments
in this country, and who. claims to be
thoroughly informed as to all the
practical details of this industry
You will see that, in addition to the
other advantages he claims for us, he
proposes to use rosiu as a substitute
for coal says it is cheaper and bet
ter thus creating an increased home
demand for one of the staple pro
ducts of our eastern counties. He.
tells me that he has worked sand
from Wilmington, and says it yields
more largely than any he has ever
worked, being purer. He claims that
glass can be made here and sold at a
good profit, even in .Baltimore, Jrhila
delphia and New York. If his
estimate be approximately correct,
there is no reason why an establish
ment, properly and judiciously man
aged, should not command all the
patronage it could supply, especially
in the Southern markets. .But of the
accuracy of bis figures I am unable
to judge except from data found in
the census tables, which shows the
growth of this interest, in our conn
try, as follows:
1850. 1860. 1870.
Establish -

Value of;
products 4.641,676 8,775,155 19,1?5.862
In the year 1870 the amount paid
for wages and cost of materials ag
gregated $13,979,583, which, taken
from the value of products,- leaves an
income of $5,166,279, or about 36 per
cent, profit on the investment. Of
the 201 faotories existing at that date
only six were found in the Southern
States West V lrginia one, Maryland
one, and Kentucky four.
Another significant item favoring
the production of these goods as near
the door of the consumer as practica
ble, is found in the fact that we im
ported in 1870 only about $4,000,000
worth and exported only about $600,
000 worth.
The well deserved character which
your journal enjoys for public spirit
and enterprise makes me feel free to
ask space for this communication,
especially, as it relates to an industry
which can- be successf ully established
and operated in your section, if any
where in the South.
Most respectfully,
: L. L. Polk,
Hon. X. L. Polk, Kaleighi N. C:
Dear Sir: In response to your
inquiry I would say, that the manu
facture of .Giass is not only a profit
able, but a beautiful business, when
properly conducted. ' I will give you
in brief, -some figures, showing the
comparative cost of .'making glass in
the North, and in the Souths '
At the North it costs from fifteen
to eighteen dollars to. I niake a "melt;"
South it can -be made . at a cost' of
from ten to twelve dollars using
yonr rosin instead", of coal, which is
cbeaper.and better. In the North
sand costs three dollars per ton, with
you from.fif ty . to seventy-five cents.
in the north-wood costsfrom seven
to nine dollars', per, cord,: with, you
from one dollar and fifty cents to two
dollars. In the . Norths lumber for
packing boxes costs fifteen to. eighteen
dollars per thousand lieeti r -with you

you it would cost nothalf so much, as

As a matter of fact, but very few,
if "any Democratic papers, approve the
Maine reversal: mention of the al-
leged fact that Governor. Garcelon
and his Council in vigorously exact
ing compliance with all the legal tech
nicalities did not transgress any. law
is not an approval of the canvass.
The assertion that the Democratic1 pa"
pers plead the reversal of the popular
will in 1876-'77 in justification of the
Maine reversal of this year is also uri
founded. Bridgeport ( Conn.) Farm
er. It would not be strange if tbu ac
tion of Governor .Garcelon," of Maiue
and his confederates, was inspired
by the Republicans, .who want same
such action as this to plead as an ex
cuse for subsequent villainy. It is in
reason that the Governor and his
Council have fallen into the pft which,
their adversaries have digged. Co

It is alleged in justification of tbe
action of tho Democrats in Maiue
that the popular elections there are I
exceedingly corrupt. We do not
doubt it, but the method chosen to
remedy that state is not a wise one.
So far as we have been able to see
tbe grounds on which votes are
thrown out they are trivial, technical
and frivolous. We do not doubt tbe
corruption of New England politics.
States have been kept as Republican
Stales by wholesale frauds, and the
solid New England differs from the
solid South only in tbe fact that in
the Sooth it was a pressing necessity,
a matter of life and death, a case of
self-defense. But that does not jus
tify the counting-out process. The
more it h discussed the less tenable
will it appear, if the rest of the
grounds are similar to the samples
already famished. Nashville Amer
ican. The whole argument is based on
legal technicalities and irregularities,
and while it demonstrates that the
Governor and Council had the power
to pursue the course they did, it does
not justify them in it; nor could any
combination of circumstances justify
a dominant party in overthrowing
the unmistakable will of the people
iu an effort to remain in power. The
Democratic party cannot be true to
itself and to its vigorous and manly
protests against tbe great Presidential
fraud of 1876, if it in any way seeks
to excuse or defend the misguided
officials of Maine. Honesty is the
best policy in public life as well as
private, and in politics as well as
anywhere else, and a departure from
tho path of right has its sure punish
ment. IVest Chester (Pa.) Jeffier
sonian. Gov. Garcelon and his advisers
have made a serious political, and a
not less serious moral mistake. They
havo nullified the will of the people
of Maine, as expressed at the latest
election, on account of technical er
rors aud oversights. These errors
and oversights were committed, not
by tho electors, but by the local can
vassers. The voters were, in fact,
thrown out on account of informality
in the manner in which they were re
turned. There is no pretence that
this informality was such as o leave
the intention of the voters in doubi.
Tbe tenor of all statutes, judicial de
cisions and treatises which deal with
elections is, that every presumption
should be made in favor of giving
effect to the real intention of the
voters. The canvassers in Maine
have unquestionably nullified the real
intention of the voters. New York
