The contrast. AM w yars ago an aged
but, intelligent citizen of the West be
came, by 'aw e ownc' of i very large
and vatuabheT plantation. The person
-who resided the-property, supposed
it to be bis own but there was a flaw in
bis title which threw the .ownership, up
on the aged citizen first uientioned. VVe
jaidabat he.waaagedrhe was also- poors
He had been in many elevated, and re
sponsible stations, in which he might have
made a princely fortune, but he was too
honest, and after a large series of public
services, he returned to private life, like
Aristides, with no fortune but an unspoN
ted nane. This sudden lucky windfall
made him wealthy, and secured him an
old age of ease, but at the same time it
stripped the former possessor of his all,
and turned him and his family out upon
the world What did the old man do un
der these circumstances ? He sought the
fnrmr owner, and this conversation ea
lued
'The court has decided that your title

75 or 100 Indians from across the river,
.which was . supposed to . be 1 0Q yards
wide, at that point, having been swollen
by recent rains. The pies and advan

FRA.XCIS I SLXPSQJY, I
Aoain. We learn from a highly ress
pectable source that several gentlemen of
this county waited on the above named
gentleman to ascertain whether or not he
would vote for a Whig Senator if instruct
cd to to vote by a majority of the Free
men of thi$ county. The result was a ne
gative answer. Mr. Simpson said that he
would not obey any instruction unless it
emanated from a majority of those who
vot'd for him !
Thus it seems that tne of our members
is bent on misrepresenting Guilford coun
ty, in the next Legislature. Dut if seems
that Mr. Simpson is willing to obey in
struction emanating from a majority of
those who voted for him ! FromhU devo.
tion to party (altho he denies being a par
ty-man, but pshaw.! what are words !)
we doubt whether he would even do this !
Will Mr.Simpson deny his having uniform
ly advocated the right of instruction and
branded men with censure who disregard
ed instructions ? He dare not. And yet
he will set at defiance the instruction of
a majority of the freemen of this county,
because they do not come from those who
voted for him. Mr. S's election was pe
culiarljr a casual occurence ; he was the
6nlv Van Buren man that ollered in this
county for a Beat in the legislature.where
as five candidates were run for the Com.
mons who were opposed" to Van Buren;
the county polled r,62t) votes, out of
which Mr. S. received a small handful oi
rotes, and the voice of this mmoriiy he
makes supreme to that of a large majority
Let us, for instance, suppose that 100
votes had elected this gentleman, and one
thousand five hundred and twenty votes
had been cast against him, would he re
fuse to obey instructions coming from so
large a majority ? Yes, he says he would.
But he believes in the right of the ma
jonty to instructwhat majority ? a ma.
jority of the freemen of a county ? Is he
willing to obey such instruction ? No
he believes that the right belongs exclu
sively the Van Buren party, and is un
willing to obey, unless he is instructed
by such party This is a shameful and
direct outrage on the rights and liberties
of the people. And no man who thus
tramples on their rights, should be tius
ted with their confidence.

Bkthavia, Stokes co. N. C 1
OctobeOthf 1836. I
My Dear Sir : '
I am now on my way
home, baying prolonged my visit far be
yond my greatest expectations. When I
left Hillsboro' last June, it was with the
intention of being absent only about a fort
night ; but so many splended views pre.
sented themselves to me that 1 was com
pelled to go on, from one magnificent
scene to another, until the present moi
ment.
I scarcely know how. to make an apol
ogy for my absence from my friend? . (
will only say in my own behalf that I
have been spell-bound, and hope to prove
it by the dt a wings I have made of the
moat glorious acetiery eyerpresented to
the eye of mortal man. I know very Well,
when 1 shall have the pleassre of seeing
you, that you will readily acquit me of the
charge of neglect. My sketch book now
containsup wards of 50 vidws,nevcr before
delineated by any one, and I feel not a
little pleased at the idea of being the first
artist to portray North Carolina's splendid
but unknown beauties.
In a future letter I wjfl cv.cy to yon
my .'first impressions' (as the phrase goes
of the rilot aud haura town Mountain
but above all a view, from the top
Yellow Mountain, of a chain of hil
which for true crandier is not excelled b
the famous scenery of Switzerland itsflf.
As soon as I reached;ita:top,. i was; sur
prised to find a barren of great extent,
from which the whole horizon could be
seen basking in the warm rays of an au
tumnal sun. 1 had made my way op te
this elevated cpot alone (I am told it is
upwards of C,000 feet) and now declare
that it is not in the power ot man to paint
or describe its sublimity. For a long time
my faculties were stupified with amaze
ment. On every hand wheresoever I
turned I saw one unbroken chain of
mountains, like an oceaD. suddenly cons
gealtd after a violent storm each- curl
of the wave keeping its place as at the
command of some mighty magician. I he
Bun was beaming from an unclouded sky
a calmness of the most balmy sweet
ncss, lay like a rich mantle on the bosom
of creation and the soft sighing of the
windj as it swept mildly past me, sounded
like the first breathing of an anthem, aris
ing in silent adoration(to kiss the new born
day. 'Is there a man with soul so dead'
who could look on what then iay before
roe not feel true religion burning within
him? 1 believe not: for heaven's high
majesty is there shown in awful splendor.
In the south arose the Black prMwint.
Mitchell, as it is now very properly called
towering above all others, like a lone
island smiling at the impatience of the
waves. '
I sat down and filled eighteen pages of
my sketch book with this grand natural
phenomena.
By the time I got down the sun had re
tired, and I found my friends somewhat a
larmed at my delay, Net morning we
all made the ascent: but this day was not
as favorable for observation, and one of
the party loudly complained of the parti
ality shown to me by the mountains, as
they would not take off their night caps
The clouds had raised themselves only
about half way, and the Black looked
like a splendid theatrical scene with the
curtain half raised the, yellow ray ' of
the tun gilding bis various ridges. The
human mind cannot conceive any. thing
moregorgeousthan this,- and this very
circumstance added to the taunts ol my
friends, caused me lo pencil the following
lines to the Black Mountain:
Proud monarch of a cloud clapp d race
Why hide from us your royal lace
And be but seldom seen?
Why do you thus in sullen mod
