NORTH-CAROLINA
ConstituttonaUst,
And State Rights' Advocate.
"The Liberty of the Press the Shield of
x- reeaom the bcourge of Tyrants."
fVilliam S. Ransom if IVm. Potter,
pROPOSE to publish in the City
of Raleigh, North-Carolina, a po
litical Newspaper, under the. above
title. They promise to give to the
public an independent and consistent
Republican State Rights paper: one
that will always support its princi
ples and regard the truth; that will
labor to further the views of the true
Jriends to liberty and democracy.
They will contend for the "Union"
to the last support General Jackson
for a re-election to the Presidency,
and oppose Henry Clay and the po
litical promotion of those who would
advance his pretensions. They will
oppose all latitudinarianism in the
construction of "the Constitution,9'
that instrument, by which the sove
reignty of the States is secured, and
our happy land, so far saved from the
direful influence of a grand, consoli
dated, general government. Believ
ing the present Tariff laws to be
violently oppressive and unjust, if nol
unconstitutional, they will use every
exertion to effect their repeal.
Though from their attachment to
South-Carolina, the Proposers of this
paper sincerely commiserate and
would gladly relieve its embarrass
ments, and on most points agree with
the politics of that patriotic and tal
ented State, yet they must oppose lhe
doctrine of "Nullification," as their
reverence for the authority of the
laws 01 me country, and their at
tachment to the Union, are too jrreal
to allow a conniving thought at so de
structive a sentiment. Thev have
now candidly stated the outlines of
their political creed, which thev se
riously believe to be that of North
Carolina generally. It is a melan
choly fact, that the politics of this
State are much misrepresented, and
that she does not now, nor ever did,
stand as high as she deserved to be
elevated, among her sister States.
Fairly to represent her, to do jus
tice to her talents, to foster her in
stitutions, to bring forward her
promising sons, and to give to her
citizens correct statements, both ol
I men and their principles, shall be the
aim of the Proposers of this publica
tion. They are sons of North-Carolina,
and arc not ashamed of their
birth, nor do they blush to own her
as a parent. They wish only to ele
vate her to that station to which her
territory, population, and her moral
and physical resources, ( nlille her.
They now call upon the high-minded
and patriotic citizens of North
Carolina upon the friends of repub
licanism, and the advocates of State
Rights, generally, for patronage.
As intelligence is essential to our pe
culiarly happy government, the
"Constitutionalist" will be a
useful paper to all classes of the com
munity, viz: the Farmer, the Me
chanic, the Merchant, the Physician,
the Lawyer, the Divine: to the Po
litician highly interesting. The
proceedings of Congress, important
foreign news, well written essays,
and the proceedings of the State Le
gislature, will fill its columns. The
best papers in the Union will be la
ken by the Editors, from which im
portant and interesting extracts will
be made.
Mr. Ransom, (intending to retire
from the Bar as soon as the necessary
number of subscribers is procured,)
will devote his time exclusively to
the editorial department: Mr. Pot
ter will superintend the Press.
ffpThe first number of the "Con-
stitutionalist" will appear as soon
as One Thousand bubscrioers snail
have been obtained.
jyPersons holding Subscription
Lists, will please return them, ad
dressed to the Editors at Raleigh, by
the 1st of August next.

The Crops. Never have the
citizens of this section of coun
try, had more reason to thank
divine providence for a. good
season and plentiful crops than
at present. Salisbury Car.
Wheat. We learn from a
correspondent in Pitt county,
that Mr. David Adams, who re
sides on Clay Root in that
county, has made, this season,
from two bushels of seed wheat,
one hundred bushels of clean
grain, on common land, that
had been cultivated about 13
years, and had never been ma
nured. In the pea row he run
a deep furrow, into which he
threw the corn stalks which
grew on the land, and where
the corn grew no manure was
put. When the wheat was a-
bout 18 inches or two feet high,
lie ran a fluke plough between
each row; which was all the
cultivation it received. From
this it would appear, observes
our correspondent, that drilling
wheat is much more profitable
than sewing it broadcast.
Raleigh Star.
Fallen Fruit. Be very care
ful to gather all punctured or
decayed fruit, whether on your
trees or on the ground, and
give them to your hogs. If you
do not, the worms which they
contain, and which has been
the cause of their premature
decay, will make their escape
into the ground, and you will
find the evils which await their
visitations will increase upon
you another season.
Cotton Ropes. It has been
proved, that cotton ropes will
last strong and good for more
than 12 years, although they
may remain out of doors, expo
sed to the weather all the time.
Different modes of Farming.
In the Western States it is not
uncommon for a farmer to have
six, eight, or ten hundred acres
under cultivation; in grass,
grain -and other crops. We
have frequently seen 200 acres!
of corn in one held in Ohio and
Indiana. Corn in many instan
ces is raised without hoeing.
Harrowing and ploughing once
or twice are considered suffi
cient to secure good crops.
1 hese statements will be al
most incredible with our breth
ren at the East, who consider
one or two hundred acres as
much as any farmer can man
age to advantage. On the oth
er hand, some of our Western
farmers will be astonished at
the statement that 50 or 100
acres support large and respec
table families in many instan
ces; in New-England. The ge
neral opinion in the Western
States is, that the Eastern far
mers labor severely. "This"
(says Mr. Niles) "is a great
mistake; they have much lei
sure because they do not waste
lime. With them, thero is a
place for every thing, and every
I thing ia in its pluco. l'heir
Vol. VII Xo 51,
horses and cattle, tools and im
plements, are attended to with
clock-like regularity. Nothing
is put off till to-morrow, which
can be done to-day. Economy
is wealth, and system affords
ease. These mea are seldom
in a hurry, except in harvest
time. And in the long winter
evenings, or severe weather,
which forbids employment out
of doors, one man makes corn
brooms, another shoes, a third
is a carpenter, cooper or tailor;
if necessary, he can display his
Yankee skill in all these trades
combined, or any thing else
which necessity requires. One
woman spins, another weaves,
another plaits leghorn or grass
bonnets, and a fourth makes
lace, while the fair daughters
are attending to the concerns of
the larder. Little children and
the aged persons knit stockings.
Pumpkins. We believe this
crop is more neglected than It
ought to be. It is certain,. that
a given weight or measure of
pumpkins contains more nutri
tious matter than the same
quantity of turnips, afid they
are not as difficult to keep. For
feeding to milch cows in the
fall, we do not know of a belter
article according to their cost;
for feeding to beef cattle they
are excellent and when boiled
and a little Indian meal added
to them, for feeding hogs excel
most kinds 01 food.
Oats. A new species of oats
has been introduced into Great
Britain from Rotterdam, whith
er it was imported from a re
mote district in China. This
species was unknown to Euro
peans till within some three
years, and was produced for the
nrst time in Great Britain last
season. It is said to be more
easily prepared for food, of a
better flavor, and to contain
more farinaceous matter than
the common species of- oats.
The English crop was reaped
in little more than three months
after sowing, produced well, and
is withal remarkably hardy.
One peck of these oats is stated
to contain more nutricious food
for a horse than three pecks of
common oats.
Mosquetoes. Take a few hot
coals in a shovel or chafingdish,
and burn some brown sugar in
your bed rooms and parlors,
and you effectually destroy the
mosquetoes for the night. This
experiment has been tried by
several of our citizens, and
found to produce the desired
effect. N. Y. paper.
Spontaneous Combustion.
The ship Isaac Hicks, was dis
covered to be on fire at Charles
ton on the 15th ult. The load
ing was nearly completed, hav-.
ing on board 1430 bales of Cot
ton; a very large proportion of
which is either entirely ruined,
or materially injured. The
weather since she commenced
loading, has been unusually
rainy and damp, and there ap
pears to be no doubt that the
fire was the effect of spontane
ous combustion, arising from
the heat and moisture imbibed
by the Cotton from the humid
slate of the atmosphere. The
ship is not supposed to be ma
terially injured.
