NORTH-CAROLINA
Constitutionalist,
And Stale Rights' Advocate.
"The Liberty of the Press the Shield of
Freedom the Scourge of Tyrants."
fVilliam S. Ransom y IV.n. Potter,
pROPOSE to publish in the City
of Raleigh, North-Carolina, a po
litical Newspaper, under the above
title. Tliey promise to jrive 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
friends to liberty and democracy.
They will contend for the "Union"
to the last support General Jackson
for a reelection to the Presidency,
and oppose Henry Clay and the po
liiical promotion of those who would
advance his pretensions. They will
oppose all latitudinarianism in the
construction oi "Me Constitution,"
that instrument, by which the sove
reignty of J he 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 not
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 thc
doctrine of ."Nullification," as their
reverence for the authority of the
laws of the country, and their at
tachment to the Union, are too great
to allow a conniving thought at so de
structive a sentiment. They have
now candidly stated the outlines of
their political creed, which they se
riously believe to be that of North
Carolina generally. It is a melan
choly fact, that thc 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 briny forward her
promising sons, and to give to her
citizens correct statements, both of
men and their principles, shall be the
aim of the Proposers of this publica
tion. They are sons of North-Carolina,
and are 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 hpr moral
and physical resources, entitle her.
They now call upon the high-minded
and patriotic citizens of North-
Carolina upon the menus ot repub
licanism, and the advocates of Slate
Rights, generally, lor palronage.
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 ta
ken by the Editors, from whrch im
portant and interesting extracts will
hf made.
Mr. Ransom, (intending to retire
from the Bar as soon as the necessary
nnmhpr of subscribers is procured,)
will devote his time exclusively to
the editorial department: Mr. Pot
ter will superintend the Press.
fipThe first number of the "Con
slitulionalist" will appear as soon
as One Thousand bubsenbers snan
hfpn obtained.

The Crops on the Roanoke,
c. The Norfolk JJeacon gives
I lie following extracts from a
letter, dated 18ih ult.
"Our Corn crops, though al
most smothered in rain for the
last 40 days, nevertheless pre
sent the finest prospect I have
ever witnessed, lf the season
continues favorable, I should
not be at all surprised, if in this
sectioii of country the crop of
Corn should double that of the
past year. In fact, there can
be but little question, but that
the export of Corn the ensuing
winter from this river, will ex
ceed the export of last winter
one hundred per cent, as the
quantity planted, exceeded that
of the last year by one-third, or,
one-half, in consequence of the
strong appearance of a general
rupture in Europe at the time of
planting, and because too, the
Cotton first planted, presented
so unfavorable a prospect, that
very many farmers ploughed up
large fields of it, and substitu
ted Corn in its place. The
Cotton crop, of course, will be
much 'shortened thereby; and
add to this, that which was per
mitted to stand, presents now a
most unfavorable aspect.
"The rich and fertile country
around us, is now groaning un
der the weight of one of its
most luxuriant crops, and an
epicure would almost fatten up
on the anticipated good things,
which the gathering in of such
a harvest b likely to produce."
Crops on the Cape Fear.
The Wilmington Recorder says:
"In consequence of the heavy
rains which continued for near-
y 40 days, we understand, that
in the adjoining counties, the
prospects of the farmers have
jee much diminished. There
will not be half a crop of Cot
ton. The Corn on thc low
grounds is much injured. About
one-third only of a crop of that
article will be realised. There
will be little or no fruit of any
kind, the late frost having blight
ed the trees generally."
The Cotton trade of Egypt..,
The zeal and energy of the' Vice
roy have been rewarded by a
great increase of trade, and a
corresponding rise in the value
of raw produce; but accident
ms conferred on him a greater
)oou than could have been de
rived from the wisest arrange
ments, M. Jumel discovered
one day, in the garden of a Turk
called Mako, a plant of the Cot
ton tree, which he afterwards
propagated with so much skill
and success as to have changed,
says Planar, the commerce and
statistics ot Eypt. 1 his im
portant vegetable bears the
name of the Frenchman who
first made the government ac
quainted with its manifold uses
I 1 .
as an article or domestic manu
facturc and of foreign trade.
Jumel erected at Boulak, near
Cairo, a superb establishment,
equal in its structure tothe finest
European manufactpry for spin-

Manchester3tearn is the prin
cipal moving power, and gas i3
employed for the purposes of ar
tifieial light. At Siout Mr.
Webster found a Cotton mahu- .
factory in full operation. "It
was established,"says he, "some
six years ago, and gives em
ployment to eight hundred men
and boys, who earn ten, fifteen,
twenty, or thirty paras, and
sometimes three piastres. Cot
ton factories are by no means
uncommon in Egypt." ; Not
withstanding all the disadvanta
ges which perhaps find a full
compensation in the cheap labor
of a country whose inhabitants
have few wants, the Pasha is a
ble to compete with the Euro
pean manufactures in every
market to which he is admitted,
and even to undersell the mer
chants of India in their own
ports. It has happened, fortu
nately for thc Pasha, that this
cotton-wool is not thc usual
coarse kind hitherto grown in
Egypt, but of a very superior,
quality, equal to the best Ame
rican. In the year 1322, the
crop yielded about 5,600,000
pounds, a portion of which be
ing sent tq Liverpool on trial,
was sold atTthe rate of a shil
ling a pound. In 1823, the
produce was so abundant that,
after supplying the countries on
tne borders of the Mediterrane
an, it was calculated that at
least 50,000 bags might be ex
ported to England. The Pa
sha is still extending the culture
of this useful plant on tracts of
ground long neglected, by clear
ing out the old canals, and dig
ging others for the purpose of
irrigation, so that it is very pro
bable the quantity of Cotton
which may be raised in Egypt
will at no distant period nearly
equal the importation from A
merica; because, as the crop is
not exposed, on the banks of
the Nile, to the frost and heavy
rains which frequently injure it
in the less temperate climate of
the United States, it is much
ess precarious. Bait, Gaz.
Cotton Thread. The fol
owing facts relating to cotton
thread are interesting: the fine
ness with which thc cotton
thread can be drawn out, by ma
chinery, may be gathered from
the fact, that Mr. John Pollard,
of Manchester, spun cn the
mule, (the name of a particular
description of the cotton spin
ning machinery,) no fewer than
278 hanks of yarn, forming a
thread upwards of 132 miles in
ength, from a single pound of
raw cotton. vJi tne rapidity
with which some portions of the
machinery work, you may form
an idea, when you learn that thc
, ery finest thread which is used
in making lace is passed thro1
the strong flame of a lamp,
which bums off the fibres, with
out burning the thread itself.
The velocity with, which thc
thread moves is so. great, that
you can perceive no morion at
all. The line of thread passing
off a wheel through the flame,
looks as if it were at rest; and it
appears a miracle that it is not
burnt.
