THE EXPRESS TRAIN. Oh, where are the words that can truly impress, The pleasure we feel when we're off by express ?

Our fliglit'sjlfkethe eagles's. as fearless and brave; Hie flag tells ot satety as gaily it wavrs. The rails are all clear, and the Monarch, ahead; See forth from his nostrils the deep glare of red. Still onward and onward we gallantly press, Hurrah! then hurrah! we are off by express. Towns, cities and hamlets, have passed in review, Like some diorama of beautiful hue. Our journey's accomplished, safe, safe as a dart. Our frame not fatigued, nor oppressed is the heart With fire and spirit right onward we press, Hurrah! then hurrah! we are safe by express. What applies to the rails is in commerce the same, And hence the Bugg's greatness, and hence the Isugg s lame. Express is his motto; iii matters of dress, He receives all his fashions and models by express AH the qualifications the Buggdoes possess, To outstrip all "slow trains" thus he v. ins by express. Expressly his fabrics are made for his mart, Expresfhe nurtures his cutters of art ; Expressly for him the best workmen's retained. Expressly for all such prime clothes he's sustained ; Expressly to please you, bis efforts progress, Expressly in beauty and cheapness of dress. ; OLIVER & PROCTER, Merchant Tailors, Raleigh, N. C.

PROSPECTUS ! of the People's Advocate asd CGNSttTtmoxAi Reformer. j The subscriber proposes in publish in Rnther fordton, North Carolina, a weekly paper to be call ed "The People's Advocate and Constitutiosal Reformer." The princil object of the nnper, will be to advocate the call of an unrestricted Con vention, by the people of North Carolina, toUke into consideration the propriety of amending the constitution of the State in such a manner as ihey maydesire, and to shew the dangerto which our in stitutions will be exposed ly permitting that instru ment to be amended or altered by the Legislature. The subscriber believes that this is the most impor tant question which can engage the attention of the people of North Carolina. The character and prosperity of the whole State depends upon it. A people cannot be free who a re forbidden l form and reform their own constitution, they cannot be sov ereign, if their Legislature can say to lhem,"thu3 far shalt thou go, and no farther." This is a ques tion which rises far above Party. It is a quesfmn of liberty, which effects every citizen of our nollb old State. J The subscriber will also stand by the Constitution) of the United Ssates and the Union, and will freely denounce all attempts to destroy that which was built by the blood of our ancestors, the purest blood of patriots the world ever knew. But while he is willing to abide by the action of the Gennal Gov ernment thus far, he is by no means an advecate ot a tame submission to any aggressions upon the rights of the South. Any interference j with our institutions, on the part of the General Government, unwarranted by the Constitution of the United States, should be properly and firmly resisted. He believes that the cause of complaint now exist ing is against the insane and lunatic doings of a portion of the people of the non-slaveholding States, not against the action of the General Government.. This can be remedied by proper action within the constitution; on the part of the people of the South ern States, without adopting the suicidal and levo lutionary measure of a dissolutijn of theUnion. The subscriber will endeavor to develop the re sources of Western North Carolina, so far as he can do so, by laying before the public a faithful pic ture of our agricultural, manufacturing and min ing facilities. No portion of the Union possesses all the facilities to a greater exlf-nt, and nothing but the wantofa proper system of internal improve ment, prevents this port'ou of the State from becom ing the fairest in the Union. j The subscriber expects to be assisted in his la bors by many gentlemen oftalents and distinction in the State. He will council with and be advised by older and better men, He lias consented to take charge ofa paper with great reluctance. He has been urged to it, by gentlemen from alt quarters in the IVest.arid has yielded to a ser.se of duty, at great personal sacrifices, and with u'e expeclalion of pecuniary compensation. 116 appeals to the friends of Constitutional reform,' and to fh friends of the Union to see that he sustains no loss, lie is willing to bestow his own labor wilhortt one far thing of remuneration for the sake of the cause in which he has enlisted- The cause needs an advocate devoted to jt exclusively. The Resristr, Times, and Star in Raleigh; the FayetteVille Ob server, the Wilmington Commercial, and most of the papers in JFestern North Carolina have no bly taken their stand on the rfghtside. Every pa triot in the State owes them;a deep debt of gratit ude. But they are all devoted more particularly to other subjects, and only regard this great meas ure as of secondary importance. He does not de sire to deprive them of a single subscriber; bu wishes the success commensurate with their merits and will take great pleasure in assisting them to the utmost of his power. His object will be to break down the barriers between the East and West, to show that they are not natural enemies, that their interests can be united whenever mutual confidence shall be established, and when that un ion shnll be effected, but nit till then will Norlh Carolina occupy the position to which her resources and her people entitle linr. j The publication of "The People's Advocate" will be commenced about the 1st of June if the subscriptions justify it. As the subecriber enters into the undertaking with no view to make money, he mast be sect red against less by his Mibscription list. JOHN GRAY BYNUM.
