The attention Of the people of North Carolina
has, fortunately we think, been directed of late to
this important subject. We are glad to notice
that nearly all the papers of the State: without
distinction of party, are publishing more or less
information relating to the question "whcther Il
Pententiary should be established in this State p
The last North Carolina Standard has COM
municaon signed Giles" in which the writer:
after stating his belief that " such institution is
demanded by the spirit of the age in which we
live, the dictates of humanity, and the teachings
of enlightened reason" discusses with ability the
principles on which his opinion rests. We re-
joice to that this question is not likely to be-


come party question. A free, calm discussion
will we doubt not, gradually throw such light
upon the subject as eventually to fix the opinion
in the minds of the people, that the best interests
of the community demand The establishment Of Il
Penitentiary. New6ernian
