We are under very many obligmionsto to our
friends n various quarters for the kind
have already taken of our propositienao. publish
semi-weekly paper and we thank especially our
brethren Of the North Carolinian, Jefnrsonian,
and Tarborough Press for the complimentary
spirit which they have been pleased to evince to-
wards us. We quote from the last Tarborough
Press: Ate.araM


aThe enterprisng and talented Editor OF the
Raleigh Standard, it will be seen below. propos-
es TO issue his paper semi-weekly. We earnestly
hope he will be adequately sustained in his ardu-
Gus undertaking There is a lamentable contrast
between the democratic and federal papers IN this
State in regard to number and appearance, much
to the discredit of the former and this is rapidly
increasing. The Raleigh Register is the only
paper published semi-weekly in this State; out
the Wilmington Chronicle, another federal paper,
is also about being issued semi-wcekly. If the de-
mocracy permit their political opponents thus to
increase their facilities for disseminating their doc
trines, without corresponding efforts to couneract
their baneful influence, we opine the day IS not
distant when they will be in hopeless minority.
An esteemed friend writes to us from Edgecomb
as follows: "I am glad to see your Proposals
for a Semi Weekly Standard. The success of
both paper and party would be promoted, think,
by less price-say S4 per annum. If you can
possibly start it at that price, it will be more apt
to succeed, and will ultimately remunerate you.
This is the opinion of our friends here. Send it to
me-" Our Edgecomb friend will see, by our terms
in another column, that we have considered his
suggestion, and that, upon mature reflection, being
desirous to make the emi-Weekly permanen, MS
well as cheap we have put it at s4 per annum.
We shall expect large accession to our weekly
or semi-weekly list, or TO both, from Edgecomb
and Nash. "'


We have other letters in response TO our propo-
silion, and among them one from distinguished
and gcnerous-hearted democrat Of The West, who
will accept our Acknowledgements las if we were
there in person, and had him by the handy for the
interest he takes in our welfare, we'll for his
efforts to add TO the usefulness and circulation of
our paper. 1t seems to us that the ensuing cam
paign will be the most ausPicious period for COM
mencing Semi-Weekly; and we again express
the hope that our friends in all quarters will take
up the matter in such spirit as will ensure sue
cess to the undertaking.
