NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MAGAZINE.

The insidious introduction into the South of in
fammatory abolition sentiments through the pro-
fessedy neutral and literary journals of the North
is growing to be an evil of no small magnitude, and
one that the Southern people should remedy by
saving the money spent on such periodicals. 1t is
too much to ask of us to bear the expenses of our
own injuries-to contribute money to be used in
our overthrow.
About year ago some very offensive articles ap-
peared in Putnam's Magazine, and it was denounced
throughout the South 1t then changed hands, or
pretended to do so, and by course of hypocritica
conservatism soon regained its losses and won its
way again into the favor Of our people Having
obtained circulation among that presented
opportunity for sowing the seeds of mischief in
midst it again. in its number for the present month
opens its batteries upon the South and upon Presi-
dent Pierce and his administration.
This article, headed "The Kansas Question" is
the very quntessence of abolition rascality. The
writer wilfuly bellies the facts of history. Every
sentence sends forth the foul stencil of abolition
corruption No truly Southern man read it
without feeling of indignation for its author, and
of scorn for the hypocritical and unprncipled pub
fishers of the Magazine. We shall make no extracts
from it. simply because We do not wish to de6e our
paper offend readers with such vile, truthless
and disgusting stuff
We trust the Southern people will mark this Pc
riodcal and Danish it. Its publishers have perpe-
trated fraud and an outrage upon their Southern
subscribers, that brand them villains 1t is only
fit to be read by the putrid masses of Northern
fanatics, traitors and political desperadoes. We hope
the Democratic press throughout the Union will ap-
ply the lash to it for it condemns the President
and his administration, cannot entertain very
strong hopes that the X. N. papers, either North
or South, will condemn it-this one virtue, in their
estimation, covering the whole multitude of its sins

The ROMANCE OF THE NuscIo-The Charlotte
Whig concludes an article on the subject with the
following pointed observations:
eff Mr.. Bsrrnger did not believe the charge
brought against Gen. Pierce's friends why did he
tell it in connection with that subject. The truth
is, Col. Barrnger ought never to have referred to
the subject as he did unless he believed the charge
Our opinion is, that when Mr.. Barrnger told Mr..
Rayner what the Pope's Nuncio had communicated
to him, he expected to remain in North Carolina,
but subsequent circumstances may perhaps have
changed this expectation, and intending to become
citizen of Baltimore he does not wish to 90 to that
city with the Catholic influence against him."

JUDGE RUFFIN'S ADDRESS.

The annual address by Judge Rufin, delivered at
the Fair Grounds on Thursday was one of the abest
and in some respects the best we have read
or listened to- His subject North Carolina, her
agricultural history and condition, her resources,
and her great advantages of climate, staboard and
soil. He dwelt at some length on the character of
slave labor, tracing in mastery manner the nature
of the institution of slavery ITSELF and its benefits
to both races.
We shall have the pleasure of laying the address
before readers in next Its publication will
be of much service to the cause of agriculture, and
will be the means of magnifying North Carolina
wherever it is read.
The venerable orator spoke with much emphasis
and earnestness. His heart was in his words, and
they were deeply felt by the immense audience.

For the Standard.


Hon. Archibald Dixon, of Kentucky, successor of
Henry Clay in the United States Senate, replying
to an invitation to address Democratic Mass Meet.
ing to be held at Paducah, the 9th, announces
his intention hereafter to cooperate with the Demo-
cratic party. His old party-the Whg-no longer
exists. The American" party, divided into two
great sectional parties, can only injure where it
would serve the country. The Democratic party,
although weakened in the Northern States, is still
national, and still operates with the Southern De.
mocracy, in opposition to the Abotionists and Free
Soilers of the North who destroy the institution
of slavery, would rend the Union asunder and bury
boneath the ruins of the constitution the liberties
of the country. -.

In this competition D. w. Courts, ESQ.,, was SUBJ
stuted as judge, for w. H. Holderness, ESQ.,, one of
the competitors We do not feel qualified to state
an opinion Of the performances of these horses.
| The judges award was in favor of W. II. Holder
ness's horses.
The trial of the various qualities of horses on this
day was highly satisfactory to the spectators, and
! very creditable to the State
In closing this report, it is due to oursef to state
that if any inaccuracies exist they are due to the
great want of facilities afforded the press It is
somewhat strange that the managers of this Fair
should be blind to the Importance of the press as
one of the chief ingredients of success. The ptia.
BILE business of charging the reporters 25 cts every
time they passed in, is bad enough. But the most
garing oversight, is the total want of facilities when
on the ground We should not have been able to
present to readers even the slight sketch of the
performances of the horses, but for our friend Jas
F. Taylor, Esq, through whose exertions we were
enabled to occupy place the stand after having
made several futile attempts to get there The
judges exempted from all censure, as they Ger
tainly did all in their power to aid us. Chief-Mar
shal Gen. Littleohn is entitled to the thanks of tn,
public generally, rs well as our own.. The pres
may justly complain of not merely want of facilit,
on this occasion, but also of amount of dsres
pect. 1t may afford. as it certainly does to per
form large amount of proftess labor, but it can
: not afford to lose its selfrcspect.-

many persons from various parts of the State. The
farmers, the mechanics, the professional men, the
aboring men, the matrons the lovely girls and the
boys were here by thousands There were present,
too, more of the prominent and leading men of the
State than on any former occasion. Every year
will add, trust, to the interest and usefulness of
these exhibitions.
Fears were entertained by some that the present
Fair would be failure. These fears, We are highly
gratified to state, have proved to be unfounded.
The articles exhibition, if not so numerous in
some departments as they were last year, were GER
tainly superior in many respects to those of any
former exhibition; and the assemblage of persons
OH Thursday was certainly larger, by one or two
thousand, than those on any day of the last Fair.
