PROSPECTUS OF THE NORTH CAROLINA
STATESMAN. The undersigned propose, on tho first
day of January next, at Raleigh, Nwrih Carolina, to begin
the publication of This Nobth Carolina Statksmax, a semi
weekly, and weekly paper devoted to Politics, News, and
Miscellaneous subjects, and respectfully solicit fir it, a share
of the patronage of the Democratic party, their friend?, and
tne puDi:c
invited dv many leading persons oi the btatcs Kights
Republican party, to propagate and defend princ pies whicn
we have always held, and regard as the only basis of pros
perity in our form of government, and inspired with a sin
cere desire to serve that party, and advance its interests, we
impose to issue a paper at tne seat ot tne state Uovemment.
n the field of editorial enterprise, there is ample room for
tnoe wno are now holding position, as well as tor others,
who may choose to enter into fair competition. The propa
gation of the principles of our party is a duty at once im
portant, and to us, peculiarly agi eeable. The attractions of
the editorial profession and its honorable toils, together with
a desire to extend its influence, bos had much we.ght in the
decision which we have made a profession at once dignified
aud elevated, where the highest intellectual gifts may find
full employment, and the purest patriotism make contribu
tion to the public weal. We are persuaded that a Journal
conducted with fairness and discretion uninfluenced by
selfishness and devoted to principle, may secure sufficient
patronage, without interfering with the claims or rights of
any, now prosecuting the same great work. -
Although mainly devoted to the discussion of such politi
cal questions, as they arise, which affect the welfare of North
Carolina, whether relating to the Federal, . or State govern
ments or such local interests, as juay be of importance, it is
nevertheless intended to make the Statesman a Medium of
General Intelligence. Accordingly the state of the Market
in the principal cities, to which our commerce goes, shall be
fully aud accurately reported, nor will the attention of the
conductors be less addressed to the subject of Internal Im
provement, as a means indispensable to the developement of
the Mineral and Agricultural resources of the State. These
interests of primary importance, shall always command their
fullest attention. To this, they propose to add, carefully
selected and original Literary matter. Being strictly con
servative, they propose to avail themselves of all the lights
of experience in that progress, which promises the advance
ment of the interests of North Carolina.
The general objects of the proposed paper being thus clear
ly indicated, it may not be amiss briefly to state tho partic
ular riews which are to be sustained by it as a political jour
nal. 1st. Our purpose being to publish a paper purely demo
cratic, according to the straitest requirements of that party,
we shall advocate strict party organization in its fullest and
most comprehensive sense, an organization wh eh origin
ates in the popular will expressed by the people in their pri
mary assemblies, and which has Leen so successfully intro
duced among the Democracy of many of the other States
by which the rani and file of the party, are in fact, those
who indicate its decisions, and being all brought into action
express their will imperatively, thus, by open and fair deal
ing commanding respect and obedience an organization of
the people, and not of intriguers ; restoring power to those
who by sufferance have tolerated its temporary usurpation.
2nd. The Democratic party shall always find in us advo
cates of their right to select their standard-bearers, and to
command acquiescence, in decisions made by conventions
fairly elected in their primary meetings. Standing upon the
good old State's Rights platform of '98 we shall resolutely
oppose all Government corporations created by Congress for
the purpose of Internal Improvement, the regulation of Fi
nance or any other measure inconsistent with the Rights of
the States.
3rd. Believing that the platform adopted by the late
Baltimore convention contains the democratic creed, they ex
pect cordially to sustain the present Administration, trust
ing that the policy adopted by those who compose it, will he
regulated by the cardinal doctrines of the American Democ
racy. 4th. They will advocate all the measures of Internal Im
provement as promised by judicious prosecution to promote
the interests of the people and diffuse the benefits of a sys
tem already enjoyed by portions of the State.
5th. The disposition of the Public Lands being a ques
tion of the most absorbing interest, we believe it should be
at once met and settled. The unjust and unequal legislation
of Congress, in relation to those lands and the large and fre
quent appropriations mode to the new States, indicate a fi
nal departure from the old and 'wise policy of appropiating
the proceeds of their sales to the payment of the public debt,
and the expenses of the Government. Jt has for some time
ceased to be either a subject of hope or expectation that
there will ever be a return to a policy which had so much to
reccommend' it. Believing that this system of squandering
and prodigality is not only to continue but to grow worse,
we shall protest against it, and assert the right of the old
States to their equitable share of the lands which remain.
The power "to dispose of the Public Lands being explicitly
declared in the Constitution, the exercise of that power is a
question of policy' both as to the time and the mode. Be
lieving as -we do, that it- has become the settled policy of
Congress to squander the Public Lands, we adopt the pafri
otic language of Mr. Dobbin, and say that "all of North Car
olina's sons, both whigs and Democrats should protest and
demand North Carolina's share of the public domain." : . ,
- 6th. Approving of the sentiments of the inaugural of the
President, we shall oppose the acquisition of Cuba or any
other foreign territory, unless such acquisition be in accord
ance with existing treaties, and entirely consistent with the
national honor. - . " .'.' 'V. X- '-. ' .

KAiElGnSATUKDAY, OCT 29, 1853.
; , . : MR. VIABLE THE PRESS, ia- v'i
It is known to many and we now come forward
to make the feet known to more that Mn Venable,
though he has received ardent support and many fer
vor from the Editorial profession of the country, 'is.
nevertheless in the habit of speaking in unkind and
disrespectful terms of the press, and of boasting of
the triumphs which he has achieved over it While
in Congress he' assailed both Mr. " Ritchie and Mr.
Donclson, of the Union, as good and sound Demo
crats as he was, to say the least ; and he takes pecu
liar pride in declaring that he bearded these gentle
men and brought them to terms. We said Mr. Ritchie
is as sound a Democrat as Mr. Venable was ; but this
is weak language when applied to Thomas Ritchie.
He is the Nestor not only of Editors but of Demo
crats; and when his epitaph is written, the world
may well exclaim, " we ne'er shall look upon his like
again.
Indeed, Mr. Venable appears somehow or other to
act upon the idea that it is his mission to go up and
down the land demolishing Editors and newspapers.
During his late campaign he not only freely denounc
ed such Democrats as Asa Biggs, but he character
ized in the bitterest terms crcrj Dmucratic press in
the State which dared to question the correctness or
propriety of his course as a public man. The Edi
tor of this journal incurred, of course, a large share
of his denunciations, and this too, we believe, before
we had taken ground against him. He said he was
not to be controlled, or dictated to, or put down by
sheets of paper smeared with ink, or by type-stickers,
ink-daubers, &c. as if any one had sought to dic
tate to or put him down ; and this too when the very
presses opposed to him had taken their course reluc
tantly and only as a last resort. Our course in the
late campaign was adopted under strong convictions
of duty. We had no alternative, when a Whig came
out, but to go for that Democrat who stood upon the
State and Baltimore platforms. We had warned the
party solemnly of the danger they were incurring by
not holding a Convention; and no Convention being
held, we were compelled, under the circumstances
all other considerations aside to regard that candi
date as the strongest man who agreed with the par
ty on organization, on the Cuban and land questions,
and not Mr. Venable, who had spoken with contempt
of Conventions of the party, ar.d who was substan
tially with the Whigs on both the questions just re
ferred to. If we had remained silent we should have
proved ourselves an unworthy sentinel ; if we had
gone for the candidate not upon the platforms, we
should have shown little respect for our party by as
suming that such a candidate was the strongest in a
District which can cast over two thousand Demo
cratic majority. Is not this so ? No man regretted
more than we did this condition of things, but we
felt and still feel we were not responsible for it. If
Mr. Venable had advocated a Convention with half
the ardor with which he sought to secure his own
election without one, a Convention would have
been held, and the District would not now bo mis
represented by a Whig. But no he was not to be
disposed of by " bobtailed lawyers, broken down
constables, and cross-road politicians " he had met"
Ritchie and Donelson, and put them to the wall, and
he was not to be called to account by type-stickers.
ink-daubers and the like. We take leave to inform
the gentleman that the profession of the Editor is
quite as respectable as that of the law ; and we ad
vertise him of the fact that no man of any party can,
in this country, habitually underrate and abuse the
Editorial profession and live politically. We tell
him, furthermore, that we neither envy him his for
mer place, nor would we exchange places with him
now. We repel with scorn and indignation his re
flections upon our profession, and we declare at the
same time that we had rather be the humblest of Ed
itors, governed by principle and a regard for truth,
than to fret under political disappointments justly in
curred and be known as a politician untrue alike to
platforms, to party, and to friends.
Mr. Cantwell alludes in handsome terms in his
prospectus of the " North Carolina Statesman,"' to
the profession of the Editor " a profession," he
says, " at once dignified and elevated, where the
highest intellectual gifts may find full employment,
and the purest patriotism make contribution to the
public weal." Surely he could not have been appriz
ed, when he penned the foregoing, of the estimate
placed by Mr. Venable on tho public press surely
he could not have known of the contemptuous terms
of type-sticker, ink-dauber, &c., so freely used by that
gentleman whenever he speaks of those Editors who
have the boldness to criticise his conduct or condemn
his votes. We know Mr. Venable much better than
Mr. Cantwell does ; and we may venture to inform
him in advance that so long as he shall go (as we
cannot believe he will) for Mr. Venable right or
wrong, he will be an excellent and most clever Cant
well ; but the moment when, from considerations of
duty or regard for party obligations, he shall speak
out in condemnation of Mr. Venable, he will at once
incur his displeasure, his opposition, and his abuse.
We speak from experience, and we cannot be mis
taken in what we say.
It is unnecessary, we trust, that we should remind
the people that the public press is, after all, their most
vigilant and disinterested sentinel and their surest
reliance in times of trial. It has its faults, it is true ;
but then it can have fewer motives than mere politi
cians to deceive the people or mislead them in public
affairs. Presses properly conducted are the organs
ofhe peopU, for they seek not so much to dictate
and lead as to speak for and inform. Editors of ex
perience and possessed of even ordinary knowledge
of human nature, know that efforts to influence the
people against their own interests and in favor of
themselves or of particular men, are always unpopu
lar and frequently abortive ; and dictation, whenever
or however attempted, is sure to meet, as it deserves,
with popular rebuke. In addition to this, the Editor
who studies his duties and is devoted to them, is in a
better condition than a mere politician to take a calm
and general survey of things; he receives his infor
mation daily from all quarters he turns it over in
his mind and reduces it to shape, and uses it to the
best advantage for his cause ; and, looking to the
people as his supporters and friends, more than to
what are called leaders in his party, he is constantly
nerved to maintain principle under all circumstan
ces," and to g6t for the greatest good to the greatest
number without regard to men.'. He knows, for in
stance, that if he should sustain one man in prefer
ence to principle; the whole cause, so far as he is

that his surest means of success in his profession is
to cling to the masses," who alone have the power to.
sustain and reward. He has, in a word, almost every'
motive to keep him in the right path and on theside
of . the people and iheu-rights J :and that day will be

- EST" It -was ' charged against the Editor of this
journal during the late Campaign, that he -was desir
ous of representing this District in Congress, and that
his course towards Mr, Venable was influenced by a
hope that he could supplant him, and thus pave the
Way to the accomplishment of this desire. We re
pelled this charge, at tho time ; but it was repeated,
and it will no doubt be revived and used again with
the view of impairing the force of the statements
and arguments we . may present in the unfortunate
controversy now going on. We therefore come
forward to declare, that we neither desire nor seek
any office either at the hands of the Administration
or of the Deonle : and that we could not, un
der any circumstances, accept a nomination for Con
gress even if unanimously made and tendered us by
the Convention for the District. A Convention, we
take it for granted, will be held in 1855 ; and we hope
to see it as full as possible of Delegates fresh from
the people. We have no right to assume ttiat it
will be controlled by "intriguers" or be unfair in its de
liberations and decisions ; and we pledge to its nomi
nee, in advance, our cheerful and earnest support.
No man cay say, with truth, that we were govern
ed in the late campaign by selfish or unworthy mo
tives. We endeavored to act for the good of our
party, not only in this District, but out of it ; and
we know that no calculations as to our political ad'
vancement or promotion had any agency in shaping
our course. The uncharitable, or those prone to con
demn on suspicion or without a hearing, may receive
this declaration or reject it, just as they choose; we
are satisfied with a sense of our own integrity in the
matter, and can outlive, and will outlive (with the
blessing of Providence) all such charges as these.
We can confidently appeal to our past course,
while in charge of this journal, to refute any insinua
tion that we are an office-seeker or an " intriguer" for
other men's places. In 1846 the Democracy of Wake
did us the honor to elect us to the House of Com
mons ; we served one term, and at the end of it volun
tarily declined to be a candidate for re-election. We
felt then, as we do now, that our duties here demanded
our constant attention ; and we felt then, as we do
now, that it would not be becoming in us to hold
our present position and at the same time take ad
vantage of the influence which belongs to it to ob
tain places of emolument or power. Mr. Venable
would be much more apt to " intrigue " himself into
Congress than we would be to " intrigue " him out
for our own benefit or for any one else ; we fight no
battles in ambush or with masked batteries, but in
the open field with the daylight of truth shining upon
all, and an honest people standing by to judge and
decide for themselves. To that Democratic people
we now appeal, and. we thank God we can do it with
pure motives and clean hands. To that people our
highest loyalty and best exertions are due ; they have
stood by us amid all the vicissitudes and struggles
of a ten year's service, and our faith in them is as
firm as the foundations of the Alps. They will re
buke disorganizers, and scatter the schemes "of the
factious and selfish to the winds. - They will see to
it that their voice is heard and respected in the next
Assembly, as it was not in the last; and they will
hold to a terrible reckoning, in advance, any man
who shall presume to establish new creeds for them,
or who shall labor to bring discredit on those means
of organization and concentration of strength by
which alone, next to principle, their present ascen
dency in the State can be maintained.
We trust our readers will pardon these allusions
to oursclf. They are made in self-defence, for the
good of the Democratic cause, and from a wish to
put on record a declaration which ought to silence
those who have charged us with unworthy motives
in the late contest. J
53T The following Resolutions were adopted by
the late Convention in this City composed of Sons
of Temperance and prohibitionists :
" Resolved. That this Convention views with the
deepest and most anxious concern, the wide-spread
influence of intemperance over the citizens of this
State, in spite of the vigorous efforts to suppress it,
and the general disgust with which it is regarded by
the public mind.
Jlesolted, That the demands of an enlightened
age, ana tne moral, social ana economical wants ot
our people, call loudly for more effective measures to
secure its suppression and ultimate annihilation.
Jiesolced, That the sale of intoxicating liquors as
a beverage in this State, under the sanction of law,
both by wholesale and retail, is the chief obstacle to
the success of the reformatory measures hitherto
brought into requisition to suppress intemperance.
Sesolced, That it is the duty of the Legislature of
this otate, at its next session, or as soon as it is clear
ly ascertained that a majority of the people desire
it, to pass a law prohibiting entirely the buying and
selling within the limits of this State of all intoxicat
ing liquors for other than medicinal, or mechanical
purposes ; and that this Convention, most urgently
calls upon tne citizens of tne state, everywhere, to
memorialize the next General Assembly to pass such
a law. ':'-'
Resolved, That while the friends of Temperance
will urge upon the Legislature the passage of such
a law, and boldly proclaim it to be their purpose to
agitate it until the people of this State shall in the
exercise of their sovereignty demand . it ; they are
willing to leave it to the discretion and wisdom of
our Legisla tors acting under the instructions of their
constituencies, such modifications of the present li
cense law, or the adoption of such new measures for
the suppression of Intemperance, as they may deem
advisable ;-untU the people of the State clearly and
emphatically require a prohibitory law.
Resolved, That this Convention most distinctly
disclaims for the friends of Temperance in this State,
any design to mix up this great question with party
politics, or to affiliate with either of the political
parties of the country, unless the alternative be forced
upon us ; "nor does this Convention deem it desirable
or best for ultimate success and permanency that the
measure proposed, be carried by either political
pwty. - , - -
Resolved, That while this Convention most ardent
ly calls upon every citizen of the State, both Whig
and Democrat, friendly to the' Temperance cause, to
exert his influence to bring out for the next Legisla
ture candidates or nign moral worth: sober habits
and intelligence all, good men and true; yet it whol
ly disclaims all intention of committing any Tem-,
perance man to the support of any particular can
didate, in opposition to his own convictions of pro
priety and duty." ; . '. ''' - ' . . ; ; '

JgF The Boston Post gives the following brief but
telling sketch of the late victories of the Demoeracr
The Whig leaders declare that the Democratic partv
is falling to pieces, and the people answer this decla
ration by gains for the Democrats in all quarters.
The Post says : . - -" ";" ' -'.
" The success of the administration has been 1ml.
liant beyond example in our politics; and those who
nave represented tne .President to have lost ground
have been refuted by every election that has taken
place since the inauguration. This succession of
victories, too, has been achieved after the Bolicv of
the administration had been exemplified in action.
xne f resident simply recognized the democratic par
ty as re-united on its old foundations on those old
States Rights and Union principles, a ricid adher
ence to which has maintained the democracy as 1
party and preserved the integrity of the nation. He
has planted himself on .the compromise platform. He
has followed the frank declaration of the inaugural
with an energetic execution of the laws, and carried
out in his appointments the policy, of conciliation
that was laid down by the democratic party at Bal
timore. The consequence is peace and harmony to
all sections of the Union and victories every where
for the democracy; thus exemplifying theold maxim
that as fedralism sinks the country rises. '
The successes of the democracy should cheer eve
ry true friend of republican progress. The adminis
tration stands firmer in the support of the people
now than it did on the day of the delivery of the in
augural. "The elections snow this. One of the old
whig States is Kentucky, but when were the whigs
so badly off as they are now in that State, with one
half of the delegation to Congress democrats? Tenn
essee, too, has cut up the whig brigade terribly, by
electing Andrew Johnson governor by an unprece
dented majority and a democratic majority of its del
egation in Congress. North Carolina has gained on
her democratic delegation; vWe name these States
because they are emphatically the strong holds of
whiggery. - If the ridiculous charge of affiliation with
abolitionism does not make capital for those who ut
ter it, in these States, when will it make capital ? If
we go to other States at the South, to Virginia, Ala
bama and Texas, there are the same" gratifying re
sults. The Old Dominion leads off with an entire
Democratic delegation to Congress.. Alabama has
gained a Democratic member has a Democratic ma
jority in her Legislature to elect two U. S. Senators,
and a Democratic Governor. - Texas has elected two
Democrats. To crown all, as to the Southern elec
tions,' in the most important of all, where the " Union
Whigs" were confident of victory, in' Georgia, the
Democrats have made clean, work by electing their
Governor, a majority , of Congressmen and of the
Legislature.' Then there is a gain of one member in
Arkansas. V At the" North, "the election in Maine
shows a Democratic vote large enough, when, united,
to overwhelm whigism. In Vermont the Democracy
have made a splendid gain:- In Connecticut they
have swept the board-in town Selections. In the
great States of Pennsylvania and Ohio their majority
is unprecedented! Such, are .the results in rix
months of the trial of the, policy of the Administra
tion. When was such success "seen before in the
career of an Administration?"'- ', . .

Agricultural . Society of North Carolina which was
in session here last week, appointed a commission,
consisting": of Messrs? Elliott. Whitaker, Burgwynn
and Taylor, to attend the Maryland. State Fair now
in session, for the purpose of drawing up a report of
their proceedings, and submit it to the next meeting
of the North Carolina society. The Society also ap
pointed Delegates" to attend th'e Virginia State Fair,
which commenced yesterday, f '. ' ".
