Mr.. B. r. HaLlett,

From paragraph in our paper OF yesterday,
the reader has already seen that Mr. B. F. Hal
lett, of Free soil memory, is at his old tricks
again. This much auded champion of Southern
rights, who was represented in the last Presiden-
tial canvass perfectly sound and reliable on the
question of slavery, and entitled to the grati-
tude of the Southern people for his fearless and
disinterested defence of their institutions, now
appears the high contracting parties to a
scandalous coalition between the Democrats and
Abolitionists of Massachusetts. According to the
writer in the Evening Post, the proposition for a
coalition between the two factions was made by
Mr.. Haett, and "warmly supported by that
gentleman. We learn further FROM the same
that there "on!y t,0o anti-coalition De-
mocrats'' in the Reform Convention.
Mr.. Hallett made many professions of respect
and regard for the South and her Fights about
year ago. 1t is true he could not overthrow the
mass of testimony which went to prove that he
had once been Free soiler of the most malig-
nant stamp; but the fair inference from his decla-
ratiors was that he had changed his views on this
subject, and that he would never more be found
giving aid and comfort to the enemies of South
ern Institutions. But we never had the slightest
faith in his conversion, and there fore not at
all surprised at this premonitory symptom of a
speedy return to his original creed. Mr.. Hal
lett's present afiation with the Abolitionists Of
his State is matter of very little consequence,
however, except SO far it illustrates the worth
lessness of the pledges which Democratic politi.
clans of the South so often make in behalf of
their Northern allies. The ex-Chairman of the
Democratic Central Committee is pretty fair
specimen of the class of Democratic politicians
known as Northern mon with Southern princi-

WASHINGTON, May 10, 1858.
A good many Democrats have been dismissed
from the Third Auditors office, and some four or
five Wings have been appointed. Surprising as

as the beginning of an of political toeration in

is some color for the anticipation. Father Whit

to remain in the Office of First Comptroller, while

his son is turned out of $l4e0 clerksllp in the
Post Office Department.
To promote efficiency, many superannuated
clerks have been dismissed the most of whom
are Democrats. Judge Clayton, of Georgia Se-
cond Auditor, Fillmore Wing, is retained; Jno.
Wilson, the able and efficient Chief of the Land
Office, Cass anti-Taylor Wing, is retained. If
Gen. p. means to restore the 6Ionroe era of good
feeling. he has only to appoint some decided
Union compromise Wing to full mission. Then
the fusion of the elements will be complete.

STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The Virginia State Agricu tural Fair will be
held this city in Octobernext. The City Council
at its last meeting rendered the State Society the
of the public grounds at the western end of the
city, and authorised the city Engineer to cause the
same to be enclosed and to Introduce water from
the reservoir into the grounds. This is beau-
tiful site for the Fair, and will, we are satisfied,
prove entirely satisfactory to all interested But

rendered the grounds alluded to above, but they
likewise authorised the City Engineer to fur

The forthcoming Fair promises to be m occa-

men will be present from all quarters of tho
State, if not of the Onion. The number of
exhibitors will be large, aud the competition for the
liberal premiums offered by the Society, spirited
We understand the Committee have already
agreed upon the list of premiums and we hope

has been chosen to deliver the address tho next

upon the presence amongst us Of MIR. Rives and
