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. ..... .... o.i TyPersons holding ouosenpuui. dressed to the Editors at Raleigh, by i i.u ivi mease jcih the 1st of August next.

Stsrtculturak 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- To. VII No. 52, uing, weaving, dyeing and print ing cotton goodsi The la test improvements in machinery were borrowed from Rouen or 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. OEvery thing has an end, anl a pudding too
