er or not the changes so entirely radical that have
been effected, have been better for the. beauty and
simplification of the language j and though' modern
prejudice forbid a contrast, yet it is jietertheless
truev that a correct study of the olden, writers will
unfold many charms now unknown, or at jeast un
practised. The innovations made prior to the com
mencement of the seventeenth century, may not be
so properly considered as having tended to. the de
terioration of the tongue, though the linguist has
cause to regret the decline, even anterior to that
period, of much of the beauty anil simplicity of style.
But it is indeed a decided loss to the fascinating spell
of our language, that so many of the expressive
words of Shakspeare, so much of the graceful dic-
the subjoined Ccmmunication. In addition Ao the

I have a gentleman in my- eye, at J this moment,
who will, I think, make as , strong a run as any man
in the State. I allude to' the Hon. Richkd Hi.nes,
'of I know hot whether ;ov' soy' Raleig$ or Edge-combe-U
but I presume the Utter, as hi large farm
ing interest lies in that County; , ; -
Mr. Hines has, it is true, been long withdrawn
from active political life (a strong recommemlatiou
by the way.) but no, man has a more intelligent un
derstanding of Public Affairs than, he, or keeps up
more closely with the party issues of Ahe day.-
Though one'of the very best Planters in the Eas
tern portion of North (Carolina, his plantation being
almost a model Farm, hjs early professional and po
litical career has thoroughly fitted him for conduct
ing a canvass of this sort with ability 'and succosi.
His energy and industry-are-untiring, whilst his
practical knowledge, and good common sense "cuiiu-
tion of Swift, and Goldsmith, and Addison, should i cntly qualify, him for understanding the views of
have grown into absolute disuse, and words of Arbi
trary coinage and unmeaning import have been sub
stituted. How much more we, at the present day,
have reason to condemn theso alterations, ' will ap
pear-when we see that even three centuries back, in
those unpolished days of letters, there were constant
invectives proclaimed against the fluctuating system
of their lexicography. . For an example thereof we
are indebted to the article on Archaisms, &lc, in
"Worcester's Universal and Critical Dictionary of
the English Language." And, by the way, the
improved and enlarged edition of this; book which
has been recently published is, in our estimation,
decidedly the best work of the kind now extant. ,
It is especially invaluable, because it contains all
the obsolete words of the language and thus becomes
an indispensable auxiliary to the perusal of the old
Authors. .
The following article composes part of a Preface
to a Translation of Virgil's jEneid, published by
William Caxton, who first introduced printing into
England, in 1490. Remember, that our Author is
complaining of differences of language, in various
parts of the Kingdom, and the innovations made up
on the English, and then note the entire change
which has since been, wrought in hb own dialect,
and we think that there is no one, but can be amused
at the quaint and pithy character of the paragraph :
the People, and making himself understood by. (hem.
His manners are peculiarly frank,' and Republican
in their character, (more like .our own5 Dudlek's,
than any one I know,! aid will make him friends
wherever he goes ; whilst, should he be : nominated
and elected, 'his elegant and' liberal arrangements
would make the Executive mansion ai true specimen
. of North Carolina hospitality, s 1 4 - ; y ,
No man in the Stato has managed his own affairs,
'with more consummate skill and success than Mr.,
Hikes, and 'I have no doubt, he would guide the
helm of State with equal , ability. The Whigs
certainly owe him some return for his uniform and
zealous advocacy of their principles.' 4 For years, he
has acted as Chairman of the Central Committee,
and has contributed, both of his time said, money, to
sustain; the principles of the Party, as freely as any
man in North Carolina. And, yet' he has never
asked at the hand of the Whigs, the slightest favor.
I know, he is not ambitious; and he may never hate
thought of a nomination for the; Office, but I ' have
sucn &nowieage 01, anu connaence in, uts untying
devotion to Whig principles, that I know he would
refuse so call made upon him, whatever the 'sacri
fice, by which he could uphold and defend them.

FIRST APPEARANCE OP "ALEMANCE."
Oyfoed, N. C, Dec. 6, 1S47.
.Ma. Epitoe: It is well known to you and your
readers, that public curiosity has long been on tip
toe to see the New North Carolina- Novel, which
has been lately noticed, in the ., papers. There has
been a vast deal of interest felt in the matter by the
people of this County, but I did not know the extent
and intensity of that interest, till lately. Last week,
ii J rt . 1 m t . rt
mere was a opeciai xerm oi ine superior uourt
held in Oxford, and during the week, a report got
abroad, that the supposed author had just received
a copy of ? Alemance." , The report ,was; true, and
instantly, or before the father himself had time to
examine, or even look at the features' of his first
born, it was torn from his grasp) and such a scuffle
among the lawyers and others, I have .not lately
wunesseo. ...
The successful man had to retreat forthwith to
his room, and lock himself up, while, it would hard
ly be exaggeration to say, he.was eonstaxttlv beset
by a mob. The poor Author , offended-every body
oy. uub giving, uiia tue prejrcuv;, auu is as sadly in
the damps by the complaint? madei as if these very
complaints did not test the. anxiety ta see his book,

to posterity. The youthful' authorof f Alemance"
has, of his own head,; and. without the counsel or
countenance of the great, "suddenly astonished the
whole country,' by a North Carolina' Noveh which
has passed unscathed through the ordeal of the hieh
est criticism, and who knows what he may not here
after do ? Z Let every jbody, at least read his book,
and then judge of the writer's merits. ' 1
In conclusion permit me an old associate, and in
timate friend of the author, to say, that he is one of
the best writers of the State, and that " Alemance"
is an earnest of what we may expect from his pen
in the future, provided his book meet with that pat-
express a preference for tho Hon. Kenneth Ray
ner, of Hertford county, and favorably and will
ingly recommend him to their consideration
3d., Hesohed, That our present Chief Magis
trate, William A. Graham, Esq. is a citizen and
officer of whom any common wealth should be
proud: his distinguished abilities and merited
high reputation (a is the case with the candi-
date we recommend) are- uot confined lo the
limits of our State, but arc appreciated by the
union.
