Vermont, and Maine, three free States, have recently held their elections and what do these prove ? Why, that the i nioeratip party is the only enemy iu the field against l?lack Kepublicani.-m. In all three, the fa-dop of lnow Nothingism, or Asarrifiaiiii m. with Blank llepublieanism is iiltnot perfect- In Iowa and Vermont there is im American or Fillmore party, and in Maine, out of a vote of nearly one hundred thousand, the American or Fillmore party aaaahets Pre thousand rotes! Is it not now plainly to be seen that the contest is be tweea the Democratic Uiiehunan party and (Hack Republicanism- Is it now plainly to be seen, what we have uniformily in iu taiued, that Mr. Fillmore is Wholly out of the contest-that he v. ill not receive the "teof a single State, North or South ? The man who, with the result of the recent elec tions South und North before his eyes, still maintains that there u even the shadow of ; ;i shade of a hope for the election of Millard V fusses, the know-nothing candidate, is ' either lamentably ignorant or dishonest. 1 H who votes, with the present lights before his eyes, tor Millard Fillmore, plainly says ! to the world 1 have no choice between Buchanan and Fremont. If anv man ques tion the correctness of our position let him intorin us, wkert the Fillmore men were iu tliii late elections in the three States wo have named. In all three States, we repeat there was (and there is) but two parties the Black Republicans and their opponents the Democrats. Even in New York and PeansTlvaada, the contest will ho .-ntirelv ! between the Democrats und the Bluck lie- j l'ublieans. Murk what we say. We desire to call the attention of the South particu larly to these facts, that no man may after the election attempt to excuse his vote un der the plea of ignorance. We will make no appeal to any man who is sworn to go with his party, right or "roug, to come to the aid of the party of the South, at this trying period ; but we shull expect every free voter iu the South, no matter what may have been his political attachments hereto fore, to unite with tho Democrats in the present contest against Black Republican ism a party which seeks to enslave the uth and to destroy the Union. W have not yet received the official "'turns of th late election in this State. I JAMES . OSBORNE, EQ. A rumor that this gentleman has avow ed a purpose to give James Buchanan his vote, at the approaching Presidential elec tion, has formed a prominent subject in po litical circles, in our town, during the last few days. Is it true ? is a question which has often been propounded to us. We have been Unable to answer the question satisfac torily, because we have no positive informa tion to justify us in affirming what are Mr. O.'s sentiments or designs on the subject We have reasons to believe, however, that J the rumor is well founded. It certainly, Wltn much confidence, assigns Mr. O. such a position at present on the political chess- board. We feel some delicacy in referring to the subject ; but we have daily in our exchanges so m. ay examples to sustain us, that we venture to allude to Mr. O.'s po litical opinions, as our cotemporaries have done in regard to thousands of other old- ! siness' A tew more 8ucn tanures, ana tne wu;, u;, e ..

C) ' " THE COMING ELECTION. iev. wn ion, in wemseives, were compara tively nimpoftairt certainly never such as to endanger our existence. But now the Struggle is at hand which all look forward to with the mot intense interest. The Democratic and ISlack Ilepublicau organi zations distinctly draw the line whether Ave are to be 0110 people or not. Thoy make an issue that is plain and unequivocal. With the exception of a few forlorn Know Nothings, every party, every faction have merged into these. They all feel and know that the eqnslity of the North and the South under the Federal Constitution, Is depend ant on the result. By it we are to have Union and pence, or disunion, possibly re volution and bloodshed. Because we have patiently borne with insult and injury, time after time, it is not to be the same always. ; The Sooth is now united on that point, that we must have equality in the Union or out of it that our rights are not to be inter- fered with, or we will take means to redress them -Columbia Carolinian. i HT The names of persons composing a Fremont ticket in Virginia, have been pub lished, nnd causes much glorification amongst the abolitionists of the North. It is a forgery issued by a Kuow-Nothing paper (the National American) at Richmond, Virginiafor which the gentlemen, whose names have been thus unwarrantably used, will no doubt seek redress. The Democrats of Indiana had a grand rally at Tippecanoe, in that Stato, on the 3d inst., at which 40,000 persons were present. The mectiug was addressed by Messrs. Douglass, Hreckinridge and others. IJy the way, we notice that tho Herald of this place, in one of its issues last week, found fault with Hreckinridge, a candidate for the subordinate office of Fiec President, because of his addressing a publio meeting Gf H lift ill ts, and in the next day's paper made certain extraots from recent speeches nf Mr. Fillmore, its own candidate for the Pttndcneih the basis of much eulogium !

The importance of Agricultural Socie ties, is one of the settled questions of the age ; and to endeavor now to point out their influence, would be regarded as a work of superoragation. Whether we will sustain our's, or not, is the question. Mecklenburg is one of the favored spots of the world : but nature, while beneficent and profuse, has left something for man to do. A few years ago, aud she was the first county in the State now, she is scarcely third-rate. Edgecombe, and a tier of counties in that region of the State, by a judicious system of expenditure in fertilizers, and by im- nrovel eultivntion. have rreatlv imnroved j the5r natural condition, aud are mnked ;n nmdHnn far hd r.f our old e.omitv.

They propose holding an in is spread through the country, and lessons ' tercsting; talk on the subject, through our co- of profit derived, not to be compared to the cost and loss of time in attending. Iu no . , .i j a u braneh t science, is there so large a held .. . . u a ! i ' i liiii'i o , iiu m tno in t r daily are the happiest results arrived at by those who have turned their attention to the subject. Unfortunately, there appears to be many who think we have nothing more to learn on the subject. For own part, we expect soon to see the steam horse in our fields, as it is now in our roads, performing the work of fifty or more machines of flesh and blood. Formerly we could not believe our types could be set by machinery, but our skepticism was recently put to flight by witnessing the performance in an office in New-York, Half a dozen young ladies, eacfa seated on a stool in front of a machine about thc size of a piano, and with ivory keys precisely like those of that instrument, with a letter on each key, were operating the machines, by running their fingers over the keys, precisely as the young lady per forms on her musical piano. Every time a key was touched, a type was taken from its place of deposit and carried to a general receiver, where the words and sentences were formed, as handsomely as any human machine could perforin the work. Ben Franklin's printing press, which threw off a hundred sheets an hour, was regarded by inanv as perfection in that line and now there ere presses in his city (Philadelphia) which will each throw off twenty thousand , papers an hour ami Hoc, tue oeieoraieu manufacturer, is now engaged in construct ing a press for the Philadelphia Ledger, with capacities to print sixty thousand an hour ! Let no farmer, therefore, content himself with the idea that he has nothing more to learn in regard to the science of farming. England formerly obtained, as We do now, but from 15 to 20 bushels of wheat per acre. She now reaps from 40 to 50 bushels an acre, on laud originally no better than ours for its propagation Look, i enada nnd the hoe had to do its WOrii ' edition that a century or to the miHf.r j ? , w . wun me gram iu uuo uiu in thc Qther endito obtain a bal- ing their modes ot cultivation, the results of their experience, and where can be seen the best kind of stock, agricultural imple ments, and specimens of the products of the different systems of farming from all parts of the country.
