R. U. SMITH, President JNO. F. TOMPKINS, Rec. Sec. ROWAN COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR, i We refer our readers to the proceedings of the Rowan County Agricultural Fair published on the first page of our paper. - We regretted it was impossible for us to be present at the exhi bition, but we learn from varioussoorces, that it was highly -creditable to .the intelligent far mers in that section of our county.

It is a uqrious exposltioniof intrigues and art ful . Dblitical manoeuvres.-' The -inean6 which were adopted to seour the -apparently sponta- neons nomination of General iierce, were pfef tv well known to politicians, but We are glad that the.public have 3cen treated to a glimpse behndjhecurtainr.kirTbeyc;in now understand fha workiDar of . themachincry which produced the startling eftecU-Tisible to the -public in the farce which was acted at -Baltimore. - v-.-Mr. Burke -eays that .-for" months before the Democratic National Convention met, ho be came convinced that neither" Cass,' Buchanan, nor Douglass, could get the nomination, and that the convention would agree upon a com- ?roinise candidate, and; he was satisfied that ieree, stood a batter chance .than any other man,'.;JBul; his only chance," says Mr. Burke, "was to keep biia out of the ring of competi tors, who wejo sure to destroy each other." lie then goes on' to expose the . wires which he set in'yporatuin tuseoure the nomination. Af ter alluding to his extensive acquaintance with the Democratic politicians throughout the coun try, and of tjie opportunities which his residence at' Washington gave him to see many of them, be says: - "For months before the Baltimore Conven tion, we took especial pains to see and converse with those gentlemen upon the subject of the Presidential nomination. We took pains, on all occasions, to suggest the name of Gen. Pierce, as a' compromise candidate, in the event that the Convention should not agree on either of the three prominent gentlemen above named, in connection with that office. We saw and conversed with from fifty to one hundred of the leading politicians of the Union upon the sub ject, on ail occasions introducing the name of Gen. fierce. After satisiying our own mina that Gen. Pierce could be nominated, we wrote toGen. Pierce our views and opinions at length, expressing our belief that he could be nomina ted, lie answered our letters. We also communicated the project of the friends of Geu. Pierce to the shrewdest and ablest letter-writer at Washington, and pro cured him to fhrow out in the papers, to which he corresponded, the idea, that, in the event of a failure by the Convention to nominate either Cass, Buchanan or Douglas, Gen. Pierce would be brought forward by his friends as a com promise candidate. That gentleman did as we requested, in several adroit and ingenious let ters, published in the Philadelphia Ledger and Baltimore Sun, which were neutral papers, and therefore the best medium through which to communicate such designs." Mr. Burke goes on to say that about four weeks before the Convention, he came home and corresponded with Gen. Pierce in relation to his nomination, lite latter desired tuat tne dele gation from New Hampshire should meet at Concord to consider the matter, and requested Mr. Burke to write to some of the delegates and request their attendance. This Mr. Burke did, but was unable to attend the meeting himself. In a letter however he siiKsrested a plan of ope rations. Geaeral Pierce replied to this letter, acknowledging its receipt, and stating that the , delegates present concurred in its views. What that plan of operations was will appear present ly. Shortly after, Burke ana Gen. Pierco had an interview, at the request of the latter, and fully discussed the plan, which was carried out almost to the very letter at Baltimore. In the following extract, Mr. Burke fully ex poses the cunningly devised scheme which, un der the sjtful management of shrewd politi cians, secured the nomination of Gen. Pierce as the Democratic candidate for the Presiden cy : " At that time Gen. Pierce expressed his de sire that our delegation should not cast its vote unanimously for any one candidate before the Convention. The reason he assigned was, that in consequence of the high character for fidelity to principle which the Democracy of New Hamp shire enjoyed among their brethren of the Uni on, the united vote of her delegation, though small, would have greater moral force than the votes of delegations much larger in number ; and, if given for any leading candidate in the outeet,.would endanger the ultimate end we had in view. Wo then went to Baltimore, having some weeks previous engaged rooms for our entire delegation at the Eutaw House, one of the best hotels in the city. The Convention assembled, and throughout its session we exerted every en ergy to carry out the wishes of Gen. Pierce. On some of the first ballots I gave my vote for Mr. Douglas, in accordance with what I knew was Geu. P.'s express desiro in regard to our delegation giving a united vote. Subsequently, we all united on Gen. Cass; and then we again divided, Mr. Atherton and myself voting for Mr. Buchanan, and our colleagues voting for Gen. Butler, of Kentucky. At length, the del egation from Virginia introduced the name of Gen. Pierce, and then our delegation gave him a united vote until ho was nominated. These facts the records of the Convention abundantly prove." In continuation, Mr. Burke speaks of his own services after the nomination, and says among other things, that he, " in co-operation with an eminent and distinguished naturalized citizen, aided in inducing Kossuth to take ground in favor of the Democratic nominees, which he subsequently did." Fhila. Inq. THE WHIG CANDIDATE FOR GOVER NOR. This subject, we discover, is beginning to at tract attention, and some of the newspapers are indicating their preferences. The last Goldsboro' Patriot brings to the remembrance of its readers the services of that noble whig champion, Henry W. Miller, and urges his claims , and the Weldou Patriot, some weeks before, presented the name of the Hon. D. M. Barringer, in the same connection. We suppose the usual method of harmoni sing upon some one individual, viz : a State Convention, .will be resorted to this year ; and that these Dominations are merely thrown out as tests of the public pulse ; or else to keep the partv advised that another Gubernatorial e lection is approaching. Without respect to the motives of those who have named these gentle men, however, we take pleasure in according to them each, and severally, the high distinc tion to which their public services entitle them. In noticing this subject, several weeks ago, we mentioned the name of James W. Os borne, Esqi, who is not a whit behind the best as it respects ability and merit. And there, too, is'MrT Gilmer, of Guilford, a good match for the rest. '. , The fact is, the Whig party in North Caro lina Is welUo-do, as it respects able champions. We are proud of them all. Of course we have a preference, and so has every other Whig. But that is a matter of small concern; and must yield to policy to the will ot the largest num ber, as ascertained in a Convention assembled to, make thegehoice-a. concession, which all true WHigs are "accustomed to make, for the pake bf advancing .the triumph of important principles.rr-Corowa WaUunan. " 1 J- f- '" , One of the most expressive touches of cative eloquence, that we ever heard, was' that which fell a few days since from an old negro woman a native African who had been longSick. A lad yisiting her asked whether ber husband was kind and attentive to her. ' 0 yes, Missis was the answer-s-he's like a team tin to me." " - ' " It was s nrolumo m a word."

For it is well that Geh; Pierce recollect it,, had it- Jot been for'thesa killins suspicions of lukewarmness on the slave ry question which hung round Gen. Scott,; the present inoumbent of the highest office in this country would never have left Concord.. Per sonally, there is no reason to doubt that Oen. Scott would nave nuea tne iresiaenciai cnair with as much credit as any of our recent rulers ; and there was nothing in all his past life, with the singlo exception of his supposed affinity for Seward ism, that could have indisposed the mas ses against him. Had it not been for that sin gle "damning spot," Gen. Scott would, almost without a doubt, have been President tfi-dav. That one blomUh was enough, however, to de stroy his chances utterly, from one end of the Union to the other; and the people, firmly re lying on the past history and solemn pledges of Gen. Pierce, and rightly postponing all private and nersocal feiltn"s to the iiiclicr considera tions of the national welfare, voted almost un animously in his favar. Had any prophet at that day come forward and foretold that twelve months afterwards the government to be iuuu- siurated by that vote would be found sedulously acting on the principles which had ruined Gen. Scott, perseveringly estracising friends of the Union to mako room for traitors and disuiiionisu of every shade, he could not have collected ten hearers and would have passed for a madman. "The presage would have come true, however, and it is to alTof us a matter of some shame and some sorrow to 6ea how widely wo were mis takeu. Meauwhile, we must prepare for the worst. AU-eady has the administration succeed ed in breaking up all the existing party ties, en tirely demoralizing t ho taction thitt placed it in power, and spreading a wide and general feel ing oj disgust anung trie people, lnc encctd of treason in the government will not stay here. We shall see by tlic elections of next month how far they havd succeeded in shattering all the old political organizations, biiould the mischief done be as extensive as we believe, it would not surprise us to hear of a preparatory movement to bring forward Gen. Scott at the next election, in order to repair the wrong that was done him at the last." THE MONEY MARKET. Mo.vev continues very tiiit, and foe the dis count of the best paper. 12al5 per cent, are readily paid, while second-class names can scarcely be move! off at 18a24 per cent. Call Loans coiitiuue at 7 per cent., but there is little doing, parties bcig fearful of being suddenly "pulled up" a it Jacob Little & Co. We have again to note some failures, but they are generally of little importance, with the exception of that of Messrs. Matthew, Fini e an &, Fox, a very respectable firm, in the Gro cery Commission trade. Heavy losses at the West, together with embarrajsmenls arising ruin the late failure of Diamond & Co., at Bris tol, R. I., explain the stoppage of this firm. Tho depressed state ot monetary affairs in this city is rapidly spreading through all the large business centres of the country. At Cin cinnati money is excessively short, the Gazette reporting that an extreme stringency prevailed, increasing with severity as the week progress ed. It says: "In fact, it has been quite difficult to negoti ate loans upon any terms. It seemed as if a general sweep had been made of two thirds of the capital Used by our Banking Institutions ; and that nothing remained, as an alternative for business men, but to fold their arms and wait for a return of better times. And this has been done to a great extent. Business of all kinds is remarkably stagnant. Nobody seems disposed to create new obligations, and few are able to make cash purchases. The Money market, consequently, has been rather quiet for two days past, although capital has not materially increased, but high rates are still maintained, the ruling rates out of doors for first class paper being IL 1, and 2 per cent, per month. The market is beginning to present a more favorable appearance, and we think the worst has been experienced for the present. There ha? unquestionably been a scarcity of currency here, but the supply is not far off, and it will naturally flow back to our City Banks. But, the panic in the east, which has resulted from a scarcity of confidence, and not from a deficiency of capital, has had some effect in this latitude, and while this continues we cannot expect a very easy market but un less we greatly mistake the "signs of the times," money will be in better supply in less than two weeks." At Boston the same depression exists, mo ney is scarce and dear. The Stock Market is heavy and inactive, and speculation entirely killed for the present. In Philadelphia mo ney is exceedingly scarce, aud must become more so, under the principle of daily settle ments lately adopted by the Banks with each other. We elsewhere note a new regulation, at present under discussion with the Philadel phia Board of Brokers, its operation will be salutary, and should meet the support of every honorable man. Bad as things are, the present pressure is looked on but as temporary, and already a bet ter feeling is prevalent, grounded on the con viction that the trade of the Country at large was never sounder than at the present time. K. Y. Financial Journal. We have received the first number of an enlarged series of "McDonald's Excelsior and Twenty Five Cent Netospaper.'-li is a monthly and, as its name implies, is sent for twenty-five cents a year. ; It contains a very interesting so-' lection of miscellany. By the way, the followingfrom the New York letter of the N. O. Bulletin shows how the busi ness of McDonald has grown into a feature of New York: "A matter of business calling me into the rooms of W. II. McDonald, the advertisement agent of this vicinity, (we include three parol lels of latitude and four of "longitude in this phrase at Gotham,) I; was rurprised. to fiud to what an extent, and under what method be car ried on his business. The place looked like one of the banking houses where paying and re ceiving tellers, discount and note clerk, and Cashier and President were hiving together like bees. There was thj proprietor's room the cashier's room the book-keepers' eancta the receiving room and the porter's apartment. A huge sale stood in one corner, plethoric with the letters, notes, due bills and accounts of some thousands cf newspaper publishers throughout the Union the safe being a joint present to McDonald from some of their number; as an in scription op the side sets forth. One entire side of the apartment is taken up with files of news papers, in which McDonald serves up his dishes of advertisements. Another, aide contains a reading room. I put down this place as one of the shows of the metropolis the . kingdom of advertisers. " ; " """'' : ; .h..,-. -- - -s ,.rjr y.': t i ... . .

No .fack could'inoro clearly .demonstrate peal'onthiseubXec the influence of Executive patronage; Ji j Beltes to the'honest course, we are not among those wbq impeach. the consistency of the Administration in - this matter. The locofoco leaders sold the Govern- ment and its patronage to the freesoilers and disunionists at Baltimore, in May, 1852, apd they are now only executing the cootract in good faith. Tliey are now merely counting Jonn the silver ; but the uuholy eoalition by which they stipulated to pay it is of some six teen or eighteen months standing. The " Standard," and other locofoco organs of the South, would have been horrified at the imputation of an association with freesoilers prior to the Presidential election ; but. now, at the dictation of the Administration, it bravely defends the coalition, and denounces the Dick insons and Bronsons, who resist the ratification of the bargain. We must repeat, that General Pierce and his Administration are consistent, but we cannot say as much for tha " Standard," and other Southern papers, which now defend the freesoil alliance ; because they could never, during the Presidential campaign, be brought to acknowledge that the Van Burens, Dix, &c, &a., were received into the ranks on equal terms with Dickinson and his friends! Judge Bronson, himself, distinctly admits the agreement for the division of the spoils He says that he ardently desired a cordial union and amalgamation between the different wings of the party ; but thinks that the free soilcrs should have surrendered unconditionally to the Compromise wing. ' But," says he, " a very different course was pursued ; and the freesoil leaders came back, so fax as they came at all, under a league or treaty between them and a few leading democrats, with no stronger bond of union than an agreement to divide the offices." Here, then, is the highest democratic authority for the charge of a league or treaty be tween the locofoco party and the freesoilers. The " few democratic leaders " were the direc tors and managers, and their " league or treaty " has been fully endorsed by General Pierce and his Administration, and by his "or gan," the Washington " Union," which daily and triumphantly points to this "league or treaty," in vindication of the consistency of its employers. The "Standard," which is a party te the "league," is right, perhaps, in defending the Administration in its course; but it should frankly acknowledge, what it has hitherto re fused to do, that the President owes his election to the Barnburners or freesoilers, and that they are now his staunchest friends, all through the Northern States, while the Union Compromise democracy are arrayed among the bitterest of the opposition ! WHIPPING IN. The Southern locofoco Newspapers, which at first took high ground in opposition to the course of the Administration, in regard to the Hunkers and Barnburners in New York, have gradually "knocked under." The most signal instance of "cray-fishing," which has attracted our notice, is furnished by tho "Kichmoud .bnquirer,' a paper which has generally maintained an inde pendent bearing, and which has signalised its devotion to Southern Rights. But the behests of power must be obeyed even by the organ'of Virginia chivalry. The Enquirer at first as sumed a bold front and came forward as the champion of Dickinson and his friends. Severe blows were at the same time dealt out against Dix and the Free Soilers. The same paper now, in obedience to the stern command of the Ad ministration, defends the course it has pursued in ex-communicating Messrs. Dickinson, Bron son it Co., from the Democratic fold. The "Charleston Mercury," from the beginning, de fended Dix aud the Administration ; and no State is now moro loyal than South Carolina in- support of Pierce. The New York Hunkers have displayed true chivalry, while the boasted chivalry of the South have shown themselves the supple and obedient instruments of power. CT " Let by-goncs be by-gones" is the favorite phrase in vogue among the coalesced factions which now hold the reins of government. They are willing to overlook the fact that only two or three years ago, they were mutually denouncing each other as incendiary fanatics, on the one hand, and traitorous disunionists on the other. Their coalition is an agreement to abandon the struggle for principle, in order to fight the commpn enemy for the spoils. This is the length, and breadth, and depth of locofoco pat riotism. The honest aud consistent portion of the party those who" were the original friends of the Compromise, and whose princi ples were adopted at Baltimore, by the ultras, have been completely ostracised. Perhaps Gen. Pierce acts on the principle, that' the Compro misers should be satisfied with the triumph of their views, while those who sacrificed principle should be compensated by a liberal allowance of pay! ; Foreign news received by" the Niagara does rot settle the war question in Europe by any means. The notice of the Sultan, that; un less the Russians evacuate the principalities in fifteen days,' hostilities will commence, must," however, bring' the matter to auatonee.

REPUDIATION ENDORSEDXr .', The Washington Union quotes from the Southern (Mississippi) Standard, an article with a strong expression of approbation, in which the following remark occurs : " Are our frends organised and ready; arid "are'they 'meet ing and counteracting the insidious efforts of the Whigs, line ayents of Vie jund-mongers And the factionist8 who are playing into their hands T" The term fund-mongers, in Mississ ippi, is"ti8ed to designate tliat iionorablend enlightened portion of the people who are infa vor of paying the public debt, and" who hold the doctrine of repudiation in just abhorrence. In the same article, the editor denounces that portion of the party, with Gen.i Foote at its headt- which supported the Compromise meas ures, as " tho corrupt faction,' whicn has join ed the whigs; The Unionists are1 thus ejected from the fellowship of democracy in Mississ ippi, as they have been in NewYrk and New New Hampshire, and the administration leans for support upon freesoilers," disunionists and repudiators. . -4s-k-'- " INSUBORDINATION.
