To convey a clearer idea of the magnitude
of this sum,' we ask the. attention ot our tarm

the average market value pf North Carolina
and to be $8 per acre, ordinary impro vements
included, and a wnTenicnprofitablefarmtp
consist o'f .00, acres the value ,of the farm
would be $1,000. Now, how many farms
like this one did the present "Democratic"
Administration, prodigally run through with
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1858?" sim
