I haye put the price very Iuav, tii;;t every body may be able to take 4t, I am free to say that jtor the jjvsc!it, Tkt inimnial is not in sUe r.rul typographical ap fearrnce, wluat I cksire9 but it is the bc-st I cjiii do for the monev and' the lime. . I desiro to express my ihatikt to the friends, who have so tceneroiialy aided in getting me the Jjundsome list of subscribers with which X am enabled to. issue the first n timber, and to request them to con tinut" tii oir efforts. To the( people of Waricu County it in unnecessary for we to jay jbat whatever infliir 'eiiee mv i)Hi)r may have will be exci ted in fiiport.of the CVnserva- itive party and that I will seek to j.rcnotd the general prosperity of yvm thereafter baintai,. ,UJ county nd fctatc. alld ,ht ! tho Jflatu.0 B.

Jin anj enter pripo, ll'tljoPJjcr impulse1 were veii riffasue t n the great uiis lortnne of the sUith, that so many people believed that nothing "good could come out ot Nazereth." .The nc8ults of the. late war have to some oxtent awakened us to-the neecssity of diversifying our cinploj'inents, ft'nd rciidering ourselves moie inde pendent ol the balarujc ot tho world, j xi no direction has this impulse to fivtcrpfise developed itself inore t iiceessfully than hiihj organization sand 8iieee8.-tul jwajiagcinent ot In furhtR'O Companies. Before the war wc were compelled to look to the v.ortherrj eoanpanic6 lor insure mice, while now, they are in uc 7-cesisfl una prosperoas operation tnrouiiiiout tno fouuu 1 , I One of the inost snccessful of theo entcrpripea is tile Old JNorth iatato Insurance Company of xtir town. It hti8 been in existence now for about four years and under the prudent and - conservative system with which it haa been conducted, it has won its way to the confi dence and patronage ot the people ol the state to an extent beyond the expectation ot its ? most sanguino f friends. It has retained iri the state Hiid invested with our people, thou , Mand3 of dollars which would have heen sent elsewhere. It offers as ood indemnity as any company doing business in the' state. lis stockholders are njosjtly the well oft rvpd successful farmers ot the coun tv, men of the very highest moral character, and who could not be induced to jhave anything to do with a tiansaction which was not nirictly jiiat and honest. The coin pany id the pride ot our town and u destined to become itn institution of. which the whole state will be proud. If the Legislature of North Caro ¬ lina, consisted of one iittelligent man from each'' bounty, insteadiof one hundred and twenty numb1 sculls, (with a few hUHk; tJeeptions,) the number and character of men tie hare been aeciutomed to have lince 1SG8, the State woulcj derive iu'cal rulf.ble rbentnt- therefrom. Such )as been tho character' of theXegis latiofi bhico 1608, that the ablest utd ihoxt profound lawyer can ar rive at no seiiftihlo inclusion about ny tiling, and tie Supreme Court bs to bo culled upon to interpret Vprythinff whiuh the Legislature pretends to do. This makes the Supremo Com t, a Legislative apd adioial body, at)d the truth is we liHve noparthly uae for a Legisla ture at all, unlojs we could elect ?Qinofpw mem with sense epough to find the way to RHleigb, without pending a guide with them to show thpin tio wft)v; Evdry ha-Jurbod8 olon. who U fccjit to Raleigh, in tho capaitity of a legislator, goes full ot f ome little local scheme to hencfit himselt; op ope or more of his Jm ?nc4iato f-onri jt units, Then cotnep the log rolling as it is called, that ist "yon vote for my little scheme ami I will vote for vours.M and by this means the whole theorv of" Le- Ration, to wit1: the creates irood tn llin rrroatoef nnitiK -1 a ' Ai'itipntn M''V".

The whole difhenlty in regard to oar legislation! of late yi ars, is, that th Lrgislatme ot the State has gotten to be so disreputable a body, by reason of the intainous charac ter ot the negroes and carpet bag gers who arc sent there by the radi cal party, that it is a difficult mat ter to induce the honest, intelli- genr White native born to consent to servo in such a 1ody.

A generation ot negligent farming, or a scries of bad crops will do more to pauperize a population than a de structive war a political revolution, or a general commercial, financial and manufacturing breakdown. Qn this ground evory friend of the South must feel. satisfied atthe al- most exclusive attention her people . . 5 K have paid to the! culture of tihe 6oil lf nuu uiu ueveiuuuieia ui iimj pr t ducts ot the tarms, since the com- mencement of the new era. and the i. - ..! . .. i . v reorganization ot economic condi- . n - i The instructive lesson furnished y the French that it is next to im- posrible tor any extraneous power to crush a people whoee rule of life is industry, and whose soil is parti tioned into small freeholds, has its paralled in the present condition ot the South, with this difference in la- vor of the former, that while the 1 ! .V. l.; ' l " I . , Frenchman had only to apply him sell with redoubled vigor, to the dai ly routine ot his life, -gnt hern era had to accomodate themselves to a radical change in every respect o! their social and material relations. But if tho task ol the South has been haider,f it has not been the less successful. , Jlcr agriculturist have, applied themselves with a magnificent and single-minded zeal to the problem of working out their own salvatiou. licaveu has pros pered thctr cffoits, and the result is SeCUi in the klgCSt COtton crop larVCSted, the rich- .
