Windsor 14th Feb. (Wed.) 1838 -
I wish to see a news paper more beneficially devoted to North Carolina's welfare than any now published. We have, it is true, respectable journals of news in general and politics; but a journal not merely political, agricultural and domestic, but one partaking somewhat of these as occasion requires, yet of a different caste from any published not only in the old North State but in any other state that I am aware of: North Carolina deserves an advocate in the form of a public journal unlike any required perhaps in any other State. Her position is a peculiar one which brought on her the taunts of her sister States, as wanting merit equal to the other states, or the elements, or resources of any thing very smart, great and lustrous. This is owing to the want of a true development of her history - her internal and intellectual resources. When these are examined by the well capacitated and the [illegible] [patriotic?] and impartial, it will be s[illegible]ut, but she possesses to a remarkable degree [illegible]ts whom ents of human eminence in [illegible] I [illegible] prosperity and domestic happiness —
