Gilbert 15. Routh.
We arc requested to an
nounce J: V. LOWE, as a candidate for
Sherilx of Lincoln County, at the next elec
tion. ApS
We are requested to an
nounce Capt.Wm. D. WYKOFF, as a

(rMAY DAY Monday next, we
understand, will be celebrated by the
ladirtofthe Female Academy, of Lin
colnton ; and we congratulate the public
on the continuance of this innocent and
pleasing custom,established in the reign
of "good Queen Bpss," when many "a
kirtle of rsre device, with its party fa
cings and hanging sleeves" showed
royalty in miniature, and in fact would
have done honor to royalty itself. It
was th often, that the nurseling of
grandeur would become the loadstone of
rural attraction, in those "merry times,"
different from the present, as there is no
distinction now, but that of merit. fVe
wish the young ladies every enjoyment,
the old ones pleasing recollections. It
is the ladies" day and one which the
young gentlemen Irok to with fond an
ticipations. May nil be realised. Go.
youthful visionaries, enjoy thy flitting
happiness! No cold philosophy shall
trammel the powers which a kind Pro
vidence has given thee for happy crea
tions. We see thy eyes sparkle, and
thy cheeks glow in the sweet illusion !
Gaze on the mock solemnities, and en.
joy happiness while thou wilt, reality
will come full soon ; and for light and
hope thou wilt see darkness and sor
row, until that better light appears
which -comei by God's Revelation, and
which shines out from Eternity.
fc3"The Western Continent" is the
title of a large and useful family news
paper published at Baltimore, Md., by
W T Thompson, Esq., author of Maj.
Jones' letters : it is not only a large
paper, but it is strictly southern, and
will be found an agreeable companion a
the fireside cf the farmer. We have a
opy at our office which may be seen,
while, contrary (o custom; we take
pleasure in recommending it to the
poMis.
CO" Our Salem almanac says the 28th
will be fair, andA that we ate to have
thunder showers to-day and to-morrow.
We will be happy if its predictions prove
true, for a shower or two will be quite
welcome at this time, Friday, 8 o'clock.
C3"Th noooina'ion of the Hon D S
Reid seems to have given general satis
faction. We hope to hear to-day of his
acceptance and appointment, as we are
sure he will lose no time in making his
appearance before the people. Let him
give us a call, for we will have some
big musters before long.
(KrA Post Office, called Ea rly G rove,
has been eslablished at Wilson's s to ie,
Marshall county, Mississippi ; and Max
well Wilson, Esq. appointed Post Mas
ter. Such of our papers as were here.
(ofore sent to Lamar, will be directed to
the new office. Persons writing should
do as well.
THE CONVENTION, that came
off here onSaturdiy last was one of the
most enthusiastic we ever attended ; and
is acknowledged one of the largest
to have been held for any three counties
ol North Carolina. The result of its
Delegation will be found in another col
umn, to which we call public attention,
satisfied that every true democrat will
go the whole stripe, regardless of those
whose only independence consists in an
absence of any principles. We do no1
know that an Independent" will run,
but we do know, that those who feat an
honest canvass ot their merits in pri
mary assemblies of the people, have
nothing to recommend them to either
party.
(KrThc Hon. Charles Manly, is the
Whig candidate for Governor. We
only state this for inlormation, as it is
but little interest to the people who (he
whig central com-ntttee nominate.
He is of a favored family a brother of
the Judge, who would forsooth be Sen
ator, if successful in his gubernatorial
canvass. He ought to be dubbed colonel,
like many others we know of ; plain
charley, is too vulgar,
0O Errata. Our devil, while re
joicing in his sobriquet, commits more
errors than we can find room or inclina
tion to detail. Thinking a "Daniel had
come to judgement," a "sentence he
would-prepare," he transfigured the
Hon. David 23. Reid, into the very name
his devilnhip thought "go l-l ke." Our
readers will read David for Daniel in
August next, however ; and thus the
devil makes his manly acklowledge
mcnls.
07The business of the Superior
Court, tor Gaston County, was conclued
by noon, of Tuesday last. Considerable
numbers were in attendance, and we
were glad to see that the spirit evidenced
in the improvement of ihe town. pervaded
also the feelings of tha people, who met
their old local opponents as brother
should meet brothers, determined to
support the causes they thought right.
On the evening of Tuesday, Messrs.
Lander, and Stowe addressed a large
concourse of the people, and J. H.
White, Esq. also signified his accept
ance of the nomination of the Conven
tion, a call on his time, and a sacri
fice of his precuniary interests, which he
felt due to those who had hitherto re
posed their confidence in him.
Of the speakers it is unnecessary for
us to say more, as tho public will hear
for themselves it is the people who
have made the gentlemen who they
are there verdict will be cheerfully
abided by. We hope that verdict will
be the ticket the whole ticket, and no'
thing but the ticket.
Messrs B. Mori is, and H. Gaston an
nounced themselves as candidates for
Sheriff of Gaston countv.
57We propose that instead of Gen.
Scott assuming all the credit of our late
victories in Mexico, that some of the
credit be divided among the hundreds
of graduates of West Point by whom he
was surrounded, and the plain rank and
file who did the fighting, regardless of
his claims to the Presidency ! We
have lost several of oui own brave boys,
in Mexico we have several who bear
honorable wounds ; we think them enti
tied to as full a share of honor, as epau
letted gentry, with salaries to match !
OCrOur whig friem! are refered to
the Prospectus for a pdner in Ruther
fordton, by !Hr. T. Allayden, a' gen
tleman of much merit, arid' one that will
do what he promises. We are sorry he
is a whig, for we cannot wish his prin
ciples success, but as an Editor, and a
Printer, we tender him the hand of
good fellowship.
CSrThe will of J. J. Astor, of New
York seems to interest many of our bro
ther Editors, l.ke that of Stephen Girard
We do Dot know tht tho public feel a
ny sympathy for the two old misers
who having skinned the world, make a
boast through their Executors of having
left what they could not carry with them.
Each of these men had it often in their
power to bestow the plain unostentatious
charity, that seeketh not for publicity,
but the reward of a good conscience and
a clear heart. The widow's mile was no
bly given ; and such as it, has more
real liberality in its purpose than all the
Astor's and Girard's in the world.
QCrMr. Clay's lament is a touching
appeal to the sympathies of the whigs ;
and we hope the Et tu Urate" will be
understood by the Editors who have
raised tho Taylor banner. We will npt
speak of its egotism,for Mr C. was never
accused of being a modest man, or he
would not have let the world know that
he was kissed by so many wotnen.
Poor old fellow, there was no harm in
him, no how.
OrThe fruit has been much injured
by the frost, since our last paper and
the present appearance of the weather
indicates no more favorable change.
We have "dsnged" the few peach trees
wo had been nursing the last three
months, and are attending to our Feus
and Quorn. Green it is.
0"Our paper to-day will, we think
prove interesting ; as it contains more
than the usual quantity of matter.
Read it and judge.
Considerable of a riot occurred in the
city of Washington lately, which came
near overthrowing the office of the Era,
an abolition print. It grew out of the at
tempted escape of a number of slaves, &
of subsequent proceedings relative to
them auJ their abductors.
FOREIGN IHTJEIAIGEXCE.
The packet ship Duchess aVOrleans
has arrived at New York from Havre,
bringing three days later news than pre
viously received by the Hibernia.
The date of sailing from Havre, or
time of arrival at Nov, York is not men
tioned. She was advertised to leave on
the 24th ult., but may hdve been detain
ed beyond that time. The absence of
date is the less to be regretted, as the in
telligence is not of a commercial nature,
merely giving the heads of the politic!
news, which is of a most important char'
acier. An express steamboat was em
ployed to bring the papers from the vet'
sel.
A Republic has been declared in Prus
sia, and the King and his Ministers have
been imprisoned. The Prince has maae
his escape, and taken refuge in England.
The revolution in Lombardv has prov
ed to be successful, but the contest is said
to have been ofa most bloody character.
The King of Naples has yielded to the
people all the concessions that have been
demanded by them.
England still continues to protest a
gainst :he marriage of Montpensier.
It is believed that notwithstanding the
concessions made to the people bv the
Emperor of Austria, that he will finally
be compelled to -abdicate his throne.
The Emperor of Russia has issued a
ukase ordering the army into the field,
because of alliance (so says our dtsparch)
with the United Slates, and to put a stop
to the ftjod of anarchy now prevailing
throughout Europe.
There had been some disturbance in
Lyons and Havre between the people
and the soldiery, but it was speedily and
easily quieted.
The accounts of the Polish Revolution
are entirely confirmed.
There is nothing later from England
or Ireland.
ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.
Liverpool, April 8.

Great excitement existed in Ireland

Proclamation against the Chartist de
demonstrations, which were to take
place on the 10th inst. forbidding the

excitement, and preparations were ma

determination.
Government was using all its power
to tuppress the attempt at Rebellion in
Ireland.
Appeals for equal rights wereenergef
ic,artd declarations made that it was now
too late to repeal the Union and that a
Republic alone would satisfy the people.

P ROSPECTUS
OF THE
MOUNTAIN BANNER.
The Subsciiber designs to commence the
publication of a new Weekly Paper in the
village of Rutherford ton, JV. C, lo be cal
led the WOUMAIN BANNER. Mr.
F. Inge Wilson will be associated with
him in the editorial department, and
no pains will be spared to give general sat
isfaction, by presenting such a variety that
every one may be able tu find something tu
suit his own peculiar tastn. It will be ihe
aim of the editors tu render this journal a
welcome visitor not only to the politician,
the merchant and farmer, but to all profes
sions ; and above all, to the family fireside.
Besides the current news of the day, its col
umns will embrace tales, sketches, essays,
pjelry, wit, humor, &c, and nothing will
be admitted to which the charge of immo
rality or indecorum can in any wise attach,
it will advocate Southern rights, and a por
tion of it will be from time to time devoted
to the development of the resources of the
South. As regards politics, it will be an
independent, but fair exponent of Whig
principles ; but no resort will be made o
vulgar vituperation or violent attacks upon
those who honestly differ in opinion. Mind
ful of the old ada-e, that '-persuasion is
belter than force' its political matter will
be calm and dispassionate; aiming rather to
include its decuines by reason and truth,
than by violence and ultra partisan rage.
Though the Banner will be intended to
benefit Western North Carolina in paitidi
lar, the ami of the Proprietor will be to ren
der it worthy of a more extended circulation;
and he appeals to the public generally f r
support, feeling confident that he will be a
bis to return a full equivalent to all who may
aid him with their patronage.
Terms Two Dollars a year, in ad
vance, or it paid within three months , Tico
dollars and Fifty ceuts, if net paid until the
expiration otsix months; and Three Dollars
at the end ot the year.
5CpThe Paper will be published asaoon
