Passing through Raleigh on Wednesday last, we made a hurried visit to the Fair Grounds. The weather was quite inclem- ent, which somewhat detracted from the ; publication by the gentlemen to whom it is i necessrry for every true man to hold him exhibition. The city waa pretty well addressed. We lay it before onr readers self ready to act, should the emergency crowded with people and accommodations j with pleasure, comiag as it does from a occur.

It is said that the corporeal part of man chancres every ten or fifteen years that be the -mark of the beast," its might be deceived and misled. opponents The war whoop of "the order" used to be "Americans shall rule America," and no Roman Catholic to hold oflice. Hut with how much sincerity the leaders of the party proclaimed such principles time has , demonstrated. Whenever it was conve nient, and their electioneering schemes could be advanced, they did not scruple to place a foreigner in office, and the con cern actually nominated a Catholic for the office of Governor of Louisiana. However, when such hare-faced hypocrisy as this began to show itself, many well-meaning nu n who had connected themselves with i the party in consequence of their opposi ( tion to foreigners and Catholic s, repudiated it and separated themselves from a set of i men who wi re working to defeat the demo- craev without any serious intention of carry - cess in tins way, tney resorteu to coon skins and hard cider and thus accomplished what they were unable to do by fair and deliberate argument. In lsf44 they again made a show of principles and fought un der the banner of Clay. The result proved the weakness of their party, and they found it necessary to change their tactics. Mili tary glory was adopted and that good, but weak old gentleman. Gen. Taylor, was rushed into office as a no-party man; but very soon after the election the people found out that it was "the same old coon." The same game was tried in 1852, but the people were not to be deceived again. Finding every scheme powerless to over throw the democratic party, know-nothing-ism was hatched and nurtured by office hunters; and for some time, at the North, i it seemed to sweep down all opposition and began to roll its mighty wave towards ... ,x . i " o....t.,v. , ... i ,,- inrri if nni.ul to O'U: 1 11 I I . j Isut here it was met oy trtse neaus ana a . 1 I I J stout hearts and crushed and vanquished.

The following letter from the Hon. Thos. L. Clingman has been handed to us for as Mr C. has done, public sentiment there would long ago have been corrected. But we see indications that the sober second thought is now at. work-, nnd for nrodneiiirr 0 , r p, it southern as well as northern national dem- ocrats are entitled to the credit Our friends in this section will be gratified to know that Mr Clingman contemplates addressing them at Charlotte on Thursday the 13th of November. . VT A m,i iav AsHEVILLE, N . C, Oct. 10th, 18oG. Gentlemen : When I was last in your town I stated to you and your friends that though I might not be able to accept an invitation to meet the citizens cf your coun ty before the Presidential election, -et I would certainly endeavor to do so after that event, provided Fremont should carry a majority of the votes. Though I do not regard that contingency as prohable, it is still the part of wisdom to be prepared for it. I now write to you, therefore, to say, that if all things suit, I will be with you on Thursday, the 13th of November. That is as early a day probably as could he selected after the result is known, and preparation made, and still would precede, by a few days, the assembling of our Legis lature. Should the black republicans prevail, there is no spot of ground I would so soon stand on as in that town where the first Declaration of Independence was made, and in that county which Lord Cornwallis (a man well qualified to express a correct opinion) pronounced "the most rebellious county in America." Our ancestors had far greater difficulties to encounter than we are now compelled to meet. The Southern States have a popu lation four times as great as all the colonies then had, while the best part of the North, I mean the men of courage and honor, ac knowledge the justice of our cause, and are with us in feeling. Instead of having to make governments dc novo, we have organized State Sovereignties to act at once. I hold, however, that the condition of things which may possibly occur, would not only justify the action of any single State, but even authorize individual resist ance; for any free white American might well refuse to be so degraded as to become the slave of the negro-worshipping aboli tionists. Our forefathers made that revolution to maintain their equality as men, and com munities likewise. They resisted the pay ment of a paltry tea tax, because its im position was an assertion of the right of the British government to rule them. That government was controlled by a body of manly, high-toned men ; and yet our an cestors refused to accept even them for masters. But the leaders among oar en- emiea are, to my certain knowledge, the meanest and most contemptible creatures upon earth, excepting only those in the Soutfi that arc willing to be governed by them. A few venal presses that hope to fat ten on the spoils of a government as cor rupt as Fremont would establish, and a few traitors to their section and race, would attempt to produce a diversion in favor of our enemies, but they might receive swift attention from our Committees of Vigilance, until the State governments could take the meet and consult as to the best course to necessary steps to insure tranquility. A be pursued in tho present or future con proper feeling is already pervading the ; dition of federal matters, it would have a masses of the South. The idea thrown out j beneficial effect on northern feeling, and , .i . , , , ! secure unity of action on the part of the in some quarters, however, that we should goutn manifest our resistance only by refusing to j hold office under the new administration, is : an absurdity. We should thereby not on- ly deprive ourselves of the benefit of a gov i eminent which we are taxed to support, but we should assume the contemptible at titude of tiie Asiatic, who unresistingly, and j in sullen silence, submits to oppression and torture. Equally preposterous is the idea referred to in the North, that we are threatening to revolt against the government. Those that have stood by the Constitution are entitled . . , , r.l , 1 , . . hi. i T in nr r I 7 i u 1 I'll ' 1 1 1 t I 1 I 1 I I I I I I . w b b - - jt wasdeciaeu y rnei amainem iubi uauies i 1 II .

I am confident that at the proper time a line of policy and action can be indicated, which, without any real sacrifice, will pro tect the South and its institution, both so cial and political. At present it is only necessity arise, make your arrangements, and I will, under the favor of Providence, meet you at that time. Very truly, Yours, Arc., T. L. CLINGMAN. To Messrs. Win. Phifer, R. P. Waring, David Parks, and others, Charlotte, N. C. THE GREAT DECISION. The day is fast approaching which is to decide the great question whether the South shall remain in the Union in the enjoyment ot e(lual rights and privileges guarantied j to hcr hY the Constitution and sealed by 1 the blood ot her ancestors, or whether she shall be driven, by overt acts of aggression on the part of the North, to the necessity ! of sundering the bonds which have hitherto bound us together as a happy and prosper- ous people. The issue is a fearful one, and demands the sober, calm reflection of every lover of his country, and the ener getic action of every philanthropist and every patriot. By the elevation of James Buchanan to the Chief Magistracy of the nation, we confidently believe that the rights of the South will be maintained and the Constitution upheld, while fanatical agitators and disturbers of our peace will be beat down and silenced, at least for four j-ears, during which time, it is hoped, the sound conservative men of the North, to gether with the coalesced wisdom of the South, may be successful in their efforts to beat back the angry billows of fanati cism which now threaten to overwhelm the country, by an exposition of its pseudo philanthropy. But on the other hand, if Fremont is elected if that party, whose bitter hostility to the South and her institu tions is openly avowed and gloried in, and whoso leading principle the entire subju gation of the South is written in such legible characters upon its forehead that he who runs may read if that party is suc cessful iu obtaining the reins of govern ment, there is but one alternative for the South, either to sever the link that binds her in an unequal alliance and form an independent government, or take up an ignominious position and submit to insult, robbery, degradation and dishonor, and be held in detestation as a "colony of lepers." The success of the democratic party presents the only hope for the salvation of the Cniou. Its nominee for the high office of President may be relied on as a faithful defender of the rights of every section of the country, and as such, will preserve the Constitution untarnished, and perpetuate the union of the States. But his success will not be a mere party triumph it will be a triumph of right over wrong of virtue over vice, and of liberty over oppression. Our cause is not merely a party one it is the cause of humanity the cause of mil lions of the oppressed of other lands, and the strong hope for the evangelization of the world. Let every patriot, then, and every philanthropist, arouse himself, and when the great day of battle arrives, be ready, with stout hearts and strong arms, to "Strike till the last armed foe expires, Strike for the green graves of our sires." Assemblaoe of GOVERNORS. It was re ported that fourteen Governors were to assemble at Raleigh on Tuesday last for the purpose of consulting on the course to bo pursued in the event of Fremont's elec tion. Instead of 14 there were two in the city, Gov. Wise of Virginia, and Gov. Adams of South Carolina. We suppose they had a talk with Gov. Bragg on the state of the Union, although we do not know the fact. We arc of the opinion that if all the Governors of the Southern States were to y His Excellency Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, passed through this place on last Tuesday, on his way homo from Raleigh. New Map of North Carolina. We saw on exhibition at the State Fair the proof sheet of Cooke's new Map of North Carolina. The necessity for a new map has been felt for some time, and we think this one will supply the wants of our peo ple in this respect. We did not have an opportunity of closely examining it, but K from the opinion of those who have done . . SO and trom our own observation, we have no doubt the - Map is about as near correct as one can be gotten up. We learn that it will be ready for delivery in a month. LsT When the party commonly called know-nothing (now making a dying effort under (he ursurped name of American) first . A , .,.., came into existence, the watchword, or catch-word, was " Americans shall rule America." But the northern wing of the party has somewhat changed the order of things, and adopted the principle that negroes shall rule America. The Irish, Dutch and Scotch, and that frightful old gentleman, the Pope, have ceased to cause great alarm in the miuds of those north Americans, and they have thought it neces sary to take cuffee under their guardian ship and endeavor to elevate him to the . . 1 , position of tho white man hy degrading elTes tQ the ierel of the black man Kansas Congressional Election. t. louis. uct. 1-. iu auumon to tne election of Whitfield, the pro slavery men have e ected all their candidates to the j. . wities.

MECKLENBURG AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'. Pursuant to notice, the Mecklenburg coun ty Agricultural Society held an adjourn ed meeting in the Court House on the 1st Saturday in the present month to make arrangements for holding a County Fair. The attendance was large and a determi nation evinced to make the Fair worthy of the reputation of the county. The committee to purchase a lot made their report, recommending that the lots at the west end of the town be purchased, which was concurred in, and an order made for the purpose. The committee on premiums made their report, which was concurred in and ordered to be published. H. B. Williams was appointed to wait upon the Intendent and Commissioners to request an appropriation. The committee to procure the services of a distinguished agriculturalist to address the Society on the Fair Grounds, reported that they had invited Col. Cad. Jones, Jr., of Hillsboro', and expected his acceptance. The Executive Committee, consisting of Messrs. R. F. Davidson, David Parks, Thomas Trotter, Charles Overman and J. A. Young, were instructed to act as a Committee of Arrangements, and from their well known energy and zeal, the Society feels confident that all will be done to make the Fair pass off creditably and satisfactorily to all who may attend. It was resolved that we hold our County Fair on Thursday and Friday, the 20th and 21st of November, and that P. J. Lowrie be requested to procure badges for the mem bers, and also to collect the annual dues. The Society hope that the citizens of this and the adjoining counties will send what ever they may deem worthy of exhibition, and by their presence will give encourage ment to the experiment made to improve the agriculture of the County. On motion, the proceedings were ordered to be published, and the Society adjourned. A. SPRINGS. Pres't. R. P. Waring, Sec'y.

Monroe, Union Co., N. C. Mr Editor : On Tuesday the 7th inst.. (being Court .week) Messrs. Waring and Dargan, candidates for Rectors in this Dis trict, addressed the citizens of Union coun ty upon the political topics of the day. The Court adjourned at 12 o'clock and al lowed them the use of the Court House. The speeches of both gentlemen were able, dignified and eloquent. The democrats were more than satisfied with the able speech of Mr Waring ; he gave bis oppouent a terrible skinning. Gen. Dargan is an able speaker, but on this occasion he labored as one who had a bad cause to defend. Mr Waring met the arguments, and replied to the special charges of his opponent against the present administration and democratic .party in such a masterly manner, that all parties came to the conclusion that he was more that a match for the General. The debate was listened to with intense interest. On the 4th of November, Union will roll up the largest democratic majority ever polled in the county. Our know-nothing friends here look like the Indian did when his dadtlv died, not sorry but ashamed. UNION. rW We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to be present nt a Democratic Mass Meeting to be held in Wilmington on the 22d and 23d inst. It would afford us much pleasure to attend if it were in our power to do so, but other engagements will prevent. The democracy of Wilmington are a noble and energetic set, and we know they will have a fine time on the occasion of their rally. Several distinguished speak ers are expected tc be present. Ma Hedhick. We learn from the Standard that at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of North-Carolina, held ou the 11th inst., it was resolved that Mr Hedrick has ceased tube useful as a Professor in the University; and the Secretary was directed to inform him of the fact. It is expected that, as a matter of course, he will at once resign. Should he refuse to do so, however, we have no doubt he will be removed. Sentiment in South Carolina. Hon W. W. Boyce, of S. C, addressed his constituents of the Richland District last week. The following passage occurred in his speech, which was loudly cheered : 'But suppose the North should not propose a compromise? Have we not the bright sky above our heads, ami the linn earth beneath our feet? Can we not work out our own destiny, upon our own soil, in view of the graves of our fathers, defend our rights, and maintain our independence? The election of Fremont must not be submitted to. The South may not go with me, but I must say for myself, that rather than submit my neck to the yoke which Sumner, Burlinganie, Wilson, Seward, and others of that stamp would impose, I am in favor of secession, resistance, death, anything !"
