PROSPECTUS OF THE
MOUNTAIN D E MOC R AT.
The subscriber designs commencing the publi
cation of a weekly newspaper bearing the above
title, in the village of Rutherfordton, N. C. The
democrats of western North Carolina have long
felt the need of an ora;an, situated in their midst,
to advocate their doctrines and defend their
principles; and this want it is the object of the
Democrat to supply. Believing these principles
to be correct, and better calculated than any
others to promote the welfare of our country,
the stability of our government, and the pros
perity and happiness of our people, the Democrat
will mildly but firmly defend and untiringly ad
vocate them.
In regard to the question of slavery now agi
tating the country, the Democrat will take a
strong and decided stand on the part of the south,
opposing the mad fanaticism of abolitionists and
free-soilers, and contending for the rights guar
antied by the Constitution.
Agriculture, news, and reneral literature will
also be attended to, it being the design of the
proprietor to make the Democrat a good family,
as well as political paper ; and he appeals with
confidence to the public for support.
The first number of the Democrat will be is
sued about the 10th of May next, provided a suf
ficient number of subscribers be obtained by t hat
tinte. Let the friends of democracy exert them
selves now, and the fruits of their lubors will
hereafter be abundant.
TERMS $2 per annum, in advance, or if paid
within two months ; $t2 50 if paid within six
months; and $3 if not paid until after the expira
tion of six months. To Clubs, seven copies will
be sent for $12 ; ten copies for $'17 ; and fif teen
copies for $23. The money for clubs must al
ways be paid in advance.

Congress. The House of Representa
tives wB signalized on Thursday by the
maiden speech of Mr Ross of Pensylvania,
a speech, such as we had almost dispaired
of ever again hearing from a Northern mem
ber of that body. It was an excellent
speech, an able, bold & plain-dealing vin
dication of the Constitutional rights of the
South and Constitutional duties of all.
Taking this speech in connection with the
action of the Pennsylvania . Legislature on
the fugitive slave 'laws, we have some
hopes that that great State will succeed in
erailicting from her body politic the pesti
lent disease of abolition. Mr Ross is evi

COUSIN SALLY DILLARD.
BY HAMILTON C. JONES, OF X. C.
TYe think it high time that ''Cousin
Sally Dillard," 'Captain Rice' and Mose
were again brought to the memory of the
public- We have read and laughed at the
narration at least a hundred times; and
should not fail to enjoy it were it to fall
under our notice daily for a year to come. 3
Scenk Ji Court of Justice in S Carolina-
A beardless deciple of Themis rises, and
thus addresses the Court: 'May it please
your worships, and you gentlemen or
the jury, since it has been my fortune
(good or bad, I will not say,,) to exercise
myself in legal acquisitions, it has never
befallen me to be obliged to prosecute so
direful, marked and malicious an ass.iult
a more willul, violent, dangerous battery.
and finally, a more diabolical breach of the
peace has seldom happened in a civilized
country, and 1 dare say it lias seldom been
your duty to pass upon one so shocking to
benevolent feelings as this which took
place over at Captain Rice's in this coun
try. I3ut vou will hear from the witness
es The w itnesses being sworn, two or three
were examined and deposed one said
that he heard the noise, and did not see
the fight another that he seen the row,
but did'nt know who struck first and a
third, that he was very drunk and could'nt
say much about the skummage.
Lawyer Chops I am very sorry, gen
tlemen, to have occupied your time with
the stupidity of the witnesses examined.
It arises, gentlemen, altogethe iruin mis
apprehension on any part. Had I known.
as i now do, that 1 had a witness in at
tendance, who was well acquainted with
the circumstances ol the case, and who
was able to make himself clearly under
stood by the court and jury', I should not
so long have trespassed upon your time
and patience. Come forward, Air Harris,
and be sworn.
So forward comes the witness, a fat,
cully old man, a leetle'' corned, and took
his oath with an air.
Chops Harris, we wish you to tell all
about the riot that happened the other day
at Captain Rice's and as a good deal of
time has already been wasted in circum
locution, we wish you to be compendious,
and at the same time as explicit as possi
ble Harris Edzactly giving the lawyer a
knowing wink, at the same time clearing
his throat Captain Rice, he gin a treat,
and Cousin Sally Dillard, she came over
to our house and axed me if my wife she
moutn't go. I told Cousin Sally Dillard
that my wife was poorly, being as how
she had the rheumatics in the hip, and the
big swamp was is the road, ami the big
swamp was up, for there bail been a heap
of rain lately, but howsomever, as it was
she, cousin Sally Dillard, my wife she
mout go. Well, cousin Sally Dillard then
asked me if Mose he moutn't go. I told
cousin Sally DiUard that he was the fore
man of the crap and the crap was smartly
in the grass; but howsomever, as it was
she, cousin Sally Dillard. Mosey he mout
go
Chops -In the name of common sense,
Mr Harris, what do you mean by this rigmarole?
Witness Capt Rice, he gin a threat
and cousin Sally Dillard she came over to
. - r i
our house and axed me il my wile sue
moutn't go. I told cousin Sally Dillard
Chops Stop sir, if you please; we don't
want to hear anything" about your cousin
Sally Dillard and your wife tell us about
the fight at Rice's.
Witness Well, I will, sir, that is il you
will let me.
Chops Well sir, go on.
Witness Well, Capt. Rice he gin a
treat, and cousin Sally Dillard site come
over to my house and axed me if my wife
she moutn t go
Chops There it is again; witness,
please to stop.
Witness Well, s:r, what do you want?
Chops We want to know about the
fiht, ami you must not proceed in this im
pertinent sto.y. Do you know anything
about the matter before the court?
Witness To be sure I do.
Chops Well, you go on and tell it and
nothing else.
Witness Well, Capt. Rice he gin a
This is intolerable. May it
please the court, I move that this witness
be committed for a contempt; he seems to
be trifling with this court.
Court Witness, you are now before a
court of Justice, unless you behave your
self in a more becoming manner, you will
be sent to Jail; so begin and tell what you
know about the fight at Capt. Rice's
Witness, (alarmed) Well, gentlemen,
Captain Rice he gin a treat, and cousin
Sally Dillard
Chops I hope this witness may be order
ed into custody.
Court, (after deliberating.) Mr Attor
ney, the court is of the opinion that we
may save time by tellihg the witness to go
on in his own ;way. Proceed .Mr Harris,
with your story, "but stick to the point.
Witness Yes, gentlemen; vell. Cap
tain Rieehe gin a treat, and cousin Salty
come over to our bouse, and axed me if my
wife she mout go. ; I told cousin Sally Oil-
lard that my w ife s!.e was poorly, being as'
how she had the iheumatics in the hip, and
the hi" swamp was up; but howsomever, as
it wasfshe, cousin Sally Dillard, she mout
go. Well, cousin Sally Diliard then axed
me if Muse he nioutcit go- 1 told cou
sin Sally Dillard as how Mose, he was the
the lore'ioan of the crap, ami the crap was
smartly in the ras, but howsomever, as
it was ihe, cousin Sally Dillard, Mose he
mout go. So they goes on together,
Alose, my wife and cousin Sally DiUard,.
and they come to the big swamp, and it
was up, as I was telling you; but being as
how there was a log across the big
swamp, cousin Sally Dillard and Mose,
like genteel folks, they walked the log,
but mv wife, like a darned fool, histed her
coats and waded through and fmf'a all J
know about the fight.
Tiik Pkogkkss of Lifk. Mn rejoice
when tle sun is rien, they rejoice also
when it goes down, whilst they are uncon
cious of the decay of their own lives. Men
rejoice on seeing the face ot a new season,

Nevertheless the revolution of seasons i
the decay ol human life Fragments ot

No mortal can escape the common lot he

which has been assuredly trodden by all
his forefathers? Life resembles a cataract
rushing down with irresistable impetuosity.
Knowing the end ot life is death, every
right minded man ought to pursue that
which is connected with happiness and ul
timate bliss. Dublin University Magazine.
Surgical operation by Dr. Moll Almost
like a miracle. c. find the following
brief report of an operation by Dr. Mott,
at the University, a few days ago, in Noah's
Times :
A young man had a tumor growing out
of one of his nostrils. It came in time to
fill the whole cavity, and so extensively
and firmly attached, that it was impossible
to pull it out with forceps, as is done with
polypi. The worthy professor put on his
considering cap, and studied out an opera
tion ; and then, to make all sure, he per
formed it on a dead body. Satisfied of its
practicability, he began. First, he made a
straight incision from the inner corner of
the eye to the ino ith, through the upper
lip : then dissected the flesh fro n the bune,
so as to turn all tne fleshy part of the nose
over upon the other side of the face This
done, he sawed through the bone, and by a
nice piece of carpenter work, laid open the
whole extent of the nostril. The tumor
was now exposed, cut loose, and easily
extracted, and the patient got well, with
out any disfigurement, but aline where
the fleshy parts were reunited This was
an ingenious, bold, and most successful
operation.
Jones Junior. Hear, dear reader,
Jones Junior the hope of the nineteenth
century develope himself:
Here I am, Jones Junior; you may sec
me or not, just as you like. I think I'm
visible; if 1 ain't I mean to be. Only nine,
teen in November, and I've seen more,
done more, sworn more, said more (and
sundry other 'mores,' in an undone lone,
than many men of seventy. Very few have
accomplished as much at my age. Can
vou tell me where I haven't been, and
what I don't know ? What am I going to
do with myself the rest of my life ! You
see me here, a prime specimen of humani
ty in the highest state of development, at
the early age of nineteen. I think I may
be to blame for developing so early. You
see that little ringer,' wavinga small digit,
with a ring on it, gently in the air, -there's
more wit, more knowledge ol
more of the comvfoand
you must pardon his French, which was
got up in a hurry, just as he was about to
start on his great European tour than
in the bodies of most men. D n it,
whv do I stand here talking, when I should
be promenading? It's enough to see me,
without opening my mouth, for the world
to find out what I am. If I am tremend
uous 1 can't help it..'
