PROSPECTUS OF
THE NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRAT.

TTAVING purchased the printing establishment of Mr.
III. w. B. Garrett, who has been hitherto editor OF
the Ratoon deemed it due both to the subscribers of
that paper and myself to issue this prospectus. 1t is al
most state that the paper will continue to
be devoted the Democratic cause, and its columns used
to elevate Gen' Lewis Cass to the Presidency. 1t will
use its most strenuous exertions at all times to oppose
the establishment of National Bank, High Protective
Tar-deeming them both unconstitutional and inexpedi-
ent as likewise those other, and now almost exploded
measures the Distribution of the proceeds of the public
lands among the States and system of Internal Improve
ments by the General Government.
On the other hand it will advocate those two great
measures carried out by the present administration VIZ
The Independent Treasury and Tariff of 46, as being
most conducive to heahul state of the financial and
commercial affairs of the country while at the same time
it completely us6es the pursued by 1t, In the
late war with Mexico.
Furthermore it will be the jealous advocate of the
much abused Veto Power considering it at all times
safeguard against improper legislation and at this mpor
ant crisis for the South her only hope short OF dlsunon
To all the old subscribers of the Ratoon would say
that the paper will be them in the same manner
as if Mr.. G. still editor To them however, and
all who would wish subscribe, would state that in
few weeks the of the paper will be changed to ha
of the North Carolina Democrat.
Having gone considerable expense In purchasing tn
Press &c. hope my frieuds will extend to me all th
aid in their power Let each old subscriber who has Palt
his subscription money, procure me five more and N
sends the cash 90, will deduct one dollar from nl
subscription and carry to his credit for the next year
and in proportion as he gets more subscribers
If by their exertions, the List can be enlarged to SOM
considerable extent the paper would receive my undlvd
ed attention. and would be improved in every respect 81
as to be worthy of good and the support of an in
telgent community.
