jVorfh Carolina Standard.
The Constitution, and the Union cf the States
they '"must be preserved."
rMIK undersigned proposes to issue a Weekly
-- Newspaper, with the above title and motto,
in ihe City of Raleigh, North Carolina.
Practically a Printer, aod having for many
years conducted a Press in another part of the
State, the principal object of the undersigned,
in now locating himself in Raleigh, is employ
ment for himself and support for his family.
And believing that the establishmsnt of a Pa
per at the Seat of Government, which shall do
justice to the venerable and patriotic Chief Ma
gistrate oi the Union, and lo the measures of
this Administration, and through whose columns
the legitimate and cardinal principles of Repub
licanism shall be defended and inculcated, is de
manded hy 'lie present crisis of political affairs,
and called for by the sentiment of the People of
the Slate, the undersigned has adventured to en
gage in the enterprise, with the hope of being
sustained in his efforts for the accomplishment of
so desirable an object.
It is an anamoly in the political history of the
limes, that, in a State which is so emphatically
Repuhlican in principle as North Carolina
which has on three several occasions, by large
and triumphant majorities, supported and sus
tained Andrew Jackson for the Presidency, be
lieving and knowing him to be a safe depositary
and faithful representative of their principles
and whose People, it is confidently believed, are
vtiil devoted to his cause should have no paper
at its Capital, through whose columns the
measures of his Administration can be fairly vin
dicated, and the voice of his friends freely heard.
It is the desire, and shall be the zealous endeavor
of the undersigned, to afford that facility.
His earliest political impressions were in uni
son with those of the Democracy of the nation;
which experience, and his growing years, have
conspired to strengthen, until the settled princi
ples ot his maturcr age are hu. the realization of
hts early convictions. Cherishing ,lcse
'nmis at the first demonstrations in favor of An
diew Jackson for the Presidency, the uudersi-n-l
(at that period the Editor of a paper aiSa?i
uuy) espoused his cause, believing that one
posted of such lofty patriotism, and whose
signal sery.ces to the country o emphatically
constituted him its benefactor, could not be oth
er than a most Worthy repil.;i.nta-tiTe of the De
mocracy of the Union. With continued ami
unshaken confidence jn his patriotism and inte
grity ot purpose, it i wilh hghIy rajlfieil fecN
mgsthat the undersigned is now affordt.d an op
portumty of devoting himself anew to the same
cause, hut in a more extended sphere
Ardently attached to the National Constitu
tion, and to the Union of the States, as constitu
ting an impregnable safeguard to our political,
civil, and religious rights, whatever rav have a
tendency to violate the provisions of the oi e or
endanger the perpetuity of the other, shall' re
ceive the most unreserved condemnation at the
Editor's hands. And while the freedom of
speech and the liberty of the press, blessings
guarantied by the great Charter of our Right's,
shall remain unawed by the threatening of am
bition, or unsmothered hy the corruptions of ar
istocracy, the Editor promises, not only that
"the Constitution and the Union of the States'
(which he has adopted as the motto of his paper.)
shall be strenuously vindicated, but that a rigid
enforcement of and nromnt obedience to th
popular u'ill, that most important principle of
uepresentative bovernment, shall be called for
and advocated through the columns of his paper.
A full and fair discussion of those important
and leading political topics of the day the Uni
ted States Bank. Internal Improvement and
the next Presidency will he admitted in ihe
"Standard." Hut opposed, from principle, not
only to the U. S. Dank, but to all other National
moneyed monopolies, as well as to a wasteful
system of Internal Improvements by the General
Government, the Editor will raise his voice a
gainst these ill advised measures, in whatever
shape they may be presented; and he will equal
ly oppose the exercise, by Congress or the Ex
ecutive, of all constructive powers, helieving
that the perpetuity of the Union is only to be
secured by a judicious division of powers between
the General and State Governments, allotting to
the first only that which is strictly delegated to
her, and to the latter what is clearly reserved to
them. As regards ihe all-absorbing question of
Who shall be our next President? The Editor
will, in due time, be ready to inscribe on his
banner the name of him who shall be selected hy
the Democracy of the Stales, as the Republican
Candidate.
Although, at this particular juncture, a more
than ordinary attention to General Politics i
called for by public sentiment, yet it is the de
sign of the Editor to devote a large portion of his
paper to the local affairs of the State, and the pe
culiar interests of her citizens. Located at the
Seat of Government, he will be enabled to com
municate to the People early and correct infor
mation of the proceedings of the Legislature
while in session, and to give prompt advice of alt
acts of other servants of the People. Ke will
zealously advocate whatever may contribute to
developethe rich resouices, unfold Ihe latent en
ergies, and elevate the character of North Caro
lina, as well as encourage all that may tend to
enlighten the People in regard to the internal
advantages with which they have been blessed
hy nature. He will strive to make his paper a
disseminator of facts an assertor of the truth a
vindicator of innocence and virtue a censor of
vice an advocate of justice a promoter of har
mony and social order in ihe community a de
tector of fraud, imposture, and crime and a sen
tinel, promptly to warn the People of the first ap
proaches of every danger wilh which their rights
and liberties may he threatened.
In fine, it is ihe Editor's desire and hope,
should gentlemen of leisure and suitable acquire
ments favor him with their contributions, to
render his journal useful to the Agriculturist,
profitable to the Christian, entertaining to the
searcher after news, instructive to the man of
science amusing to the miscellaneous reader, and
a "Standard" under wihch the patriot and poli
tician may rally, confident of a secure defence a
gainst the evils of Consolidation, and a Mill more
dangerous political heresT which seeks to spread
itself through the land, "mingling its fitful blasts
with the steady current of Consolidation, and
threatning, by a combined movement, greater
injury than any before dreaded."
With this brief expose of Ihe ol jecl, the de
sign and future purpose of his journal, the Editor
throws himself upon the liberality of the public,
and solicits such aid and assistance from those
who may be friendly to his enterprise, as shall
enable him to sustain a Paper which shall be no
discredit to the State, hut worthy of the cause
which it is his pride and boast to be an humble
but zealous advocate.
The "North Carolina Standard" will be print
ed on en imperial sheet, at teast equal in size antt
execution to any paper in the State; and issued
once a week, at three dollars a year.
The first number, it i hoped, will be out du
ring the first week io November; the Editor
therefore requests, that the names of all those
who shall have subscribed previously to the last
of October, may be immediately thereafter for
warded to him at Raleigh, that he may he ena
bled to determine how many of the 1st No. to
strike off.
