IIEARTT Proposes publishing by subscription THE PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES or THE Convention of J^'ortli Carolina On the adoption of the Constitution of the United States; TOGETHER WITH The Declaration ^of Rights and Consti tution of the State. TO WHICH IS FREriXXD The Constitution of the United States. T1IF former edition of this work having become so ?curce as to render it difficult to procure a Copy, it has been suggested to the publisher tbat a new edition would be acceptable to the public; he has accordingly submitted the proposal /or their patronage, and will commence the publication as soon as the number of subscriber shall be such as to justify the undertaking. The debates of the North Carolina convention on the adoption of the constitution of the United States, must certainly excite sufficient interest to prevent their becoming extinct; it is therefore pre sumed that the proposed edition will be ex tensively patronised throughout the state. CONDITIONS. The work will be comprised in a duodecimo volume of about three hundred puges, ne.?tly printed on fine paper. The price to subscribers will be one dollar and fifty cents, handsomely bound and let tered. It will he put to press as soon as three hun dred subscribers are obtained.

On the evening of Saturday the 19th instant, the house of the subscriber, on Swift creek, was entered during her absence, by John Bryan, anil a fret mulat toe K?rl named IJicey ??/uore, the daughter of Lydia .1/oore, was forcibly taken and carried away in a chair by tl?? said Bryan. It is be lieved that he has a forged bill of sale for the girl, purporting ?o have been executed by her mother, and it is fearrd that he has carried the girl to the south, with the intention of selling her. Dicey -l/owc has lived with tin subscri ber ever since she v as fifteen months old, and the fact of her freedom can be proved beyond the possibility of a doubt. She is now about seventeen years old, five feet high, with a yellowish complexion, thick bushy hair, and wears rings in her ears. Bryan is about six feet high has blue eyes, m a little round shouldered, and has a long nose. The editors of southern papers are request ed to give the foregoing an insertion in their respective papers, as possibly it may save from a state of slavery this (firl, who has an unques 1 10 1. aide right to her freedom.
