KANSAS TERRITORY.

The jackson Mississippian of July 18th,
publishes communication from the pen OF
DIR. d. O. Williams, of that county, giving
the result of the writer's observation in
Kansas Territory. DIR. Williams is a gentle
man whose reputation, says the M'ssisippian,
as shrewd, intelligent, reliable, and eminent.
ly practical man, extends over the State of
Mississippi. His statements, therefore, are
entitled to all respect and confidence.
Dr. Williams states that Kansas is secure
for the South, beyond all contingencies
There remains, says he, mo doubt but that
Kansas has already made beginning which
ensures it slave State" The climate, soil
and productions of the State are eminently
adapted to slavery.
"Our readers will recollect," adds the Ms
sissippiaa, 'the facts relating to Kansas,
which we spread before them few weeks
since, derived from various sources, and that
we concluded an article on the subject with
this language: Our firm belief is, that if the
Southern people will be as true to themselves

been, or as the Northern Democrats, who. in

will exist permanently in Kansas, and before

STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The New York Herald says that Is State
| Fairs, including one at Quebec, Lower Cana
da, and a Cattle Show at Springfield, Ohio
are advertised to be held in the months OF
September and October. The State Fairs oil
Illinois and Kentucky will be held on the
18th of September; of Vermont and Ohio, on
| the 18th and 10th, and of Pennsylvania and
Michigan, on the Goth and following days.
Those of Missouri, New York, New Hamp-
shire, Maryland, Indiana and Wisconsin, will
be held in the first week in October. Con.
necticut has her State Fair on the 10th of
October; that of North Carolina to take
place about the 18th, and Georgia and Iowa,
on the aad and 25th of the same month. The
State Fair of Virginia will commence on the
| end of November, and, we venture to predict,
will surpass the last, which, though the first
State exhibition in Virginia, was pronounced
by competent judges to have been equal to
any similar exhibition in this country or in
Europe, and superior to most of them.
