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, agricul-
tural and domestic, but one partaking somewh-
at of these as occasion requires, yet of a differ-
ent 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 un-
like 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 —

In the first place, there is not [illegible] proper [illegible]
tory of this state in suff[illegible]
