Whilst wt appreciate Uia yslua of Papers published (broad, and wub success to their Editors and Patroiu, era feel that we ought to be independent of tbem, and to bava a North Carolina Preebyteriaa Paper, which-w can call oar wo. It should be the repository of local in telliirence, and be specially . adspted to the twanu of our Churches. It is Deeded to be the orgaa of our Synod to elerate and enlightea the piety of our Memberabip, by diffusing evaa gelicnl knowledge to promote tbeeauaa of edu eatkm W develope the talents of our Ministry and to ntrengtbea the attach ment of oar peopW to tbe soil and sanctuaries of their own Statu. There ia Do reawa why Presbyterians in Korth Carolina abould inot bar their Church Paper as well a Preabyteriane in VirsiUiav South Carolina; and aevaral others of the South ern and Western States. Hundreds of Church members ia oar bounds will take a Stat paper, who will tike o other. And why should North Carolina be dependent (or everything ej other States f W hope that the day of her de pendence has uaaaed lorerer. It ia proposed that one tej should now be taken for the ae- eomplisliaeDt of this most desirable object The Church is ready for a State Paper. Thera is a loud call for its establishment We are sure that nothing can be gained by delay. In six nioaUta, it may be, and we hope' will be, in uceesaful operation. . It desirable that it should be established with capital sufficient to secure it from all possibility of failure, or from' any form. of embarrassment, and at tbe same time make it a Taper of tbe highest class and value. Let it be equal to the best, or nothing, is the general wiah sod de mand. We propose therefore to raise the sum of 15,000 as a permanent capital, to put it a sure basis and give it a fair and manly start To secure this amount tbe stock may bedivided into 50 shares of 100 each, and we appeal to dent hope that the meu can be found who wilT say, " Let the work go forward I y ; - ; Already 33 Shares have been taken, with ut ile or no effort Should more than 60 Shares, be taken, we may either increase the amosnt of the capital, or by making tbe shares smaller, say tiO each, increase the number of Proprie tors. If the Paper la conducted on the cash plan, it will be unnecessary to call in more than a very small portion of tbe capital. ' As soon a 50 subscriber! are obtained, it is proposed that they meet at some central point, in person or by proxy, to select a location, title, Editor or Editors, and make all other necessary arrangements for the publication of the Paper. When once established, we have no (ears that it will fail. We appeal to you for aid. We ask you to give ns your influence and prayer. We trust that every Minister and Elder in the Church will take a deep interest in this glorious work, and become a Special Agent io its behalf. 8. COLTOV, - H. HcALlSTER, , -F.KNASIt N.McKAV, W. W.
