We would call the attention Of our agricul-
tural and mechanical friends, to the consider
alton Of the importance Of preparing for the
next annual Fair. to be held at Centreville
next month The citizens Of that place and
immediate vicinity are making efforts to make
this the best Fair ever held in the county, and
with their zeal and energy. we are disposed to
believe the arrangements will be superior to
those heretofore made. All should begin at
once with their arrangements. Select some
thing of superior quality from their farm.

The family attend. and partake of the inter
esting and exciting scenes which are in pros
pee. at the next exhibition. There il every
disposition upon the part Of the Executive
Committee. to offer greater inducements to in
sure a more general display. and a larger at
tendance. tina: has ever before been presented
This season is far more propitious than the
last, and the general healthy tone which is
manifested in the hopes and prospects OF the
farmers of the county. gives reason to sntici
pate that the coming exhibition will be kind
Of jubilee.
The Mechanics are respectfully urged to
sustain their previous high and we'll known
reputation, by exhibiting improved specimens
Of their skin and ingenuity. Without their
aid, the Fair will Be failure. Upon their
skill depends much the cultivation Of the
soil.
We, in special manner. would invite the
ladies to take more active part in the House
hold department Of the Fair. than they have
heretofore exhibited. The next will be the
fifth exhibition Of the Society. and we hope
it will make apparent the progress Of the far

THK GREAT IssUE-Whatever tricks the
politicians of the north may resort to, for the
purpose of ignoring the question OF Slavery,
the South is determined that i shah be the
great issue, from which there shall be no es-
cape. We give to our readers, below, the
southern platform. adopted at the Missouri
Convention, and the Republican platform
adopted by the Ohio Convention. Let them
decide on which they will stand:
PRO sLAyERr PLATFORM.
The diffusion of slavery over wider sur
face, tends greatly to amehorate the condition
OF the slave whilst il advances the prosperity
OF his owner, and the admission OF new slave
holding States into the [ Mon by maintaining,
to some extent the equilibrium between the
conflicting influences which now control the
federal government, is the only reliable guar
anty which the slave holding minority have
for the protection OF their property agalns; un-
constitutional and oppressive legislation by
the non-slave holding majority, now and
hereafter destined to be in the asceudency.
REPUBLICAN PLAaFoRM-
l. We win resist the spread of slavery IN
der whsterer shape or color it may be at
tempted
II. To this end we will labor assiduously 10
render imperative and void. that portion of the
Kansas and Nebraska bill which abolistes
freedom IN the territory Withdrawn from the
influence Of slavery By the Missouri Compro
mise Of 1890. and we viii oppose by every
lawful and constitutional means. the existence
of slavery in any national territory, and the
further increase of slave territory. or slave
States, IN this Republican Confedsraey.

BRowNsos's ALLEGIANCE TO THE PoPE-
This distinguished organ and oracle of the
Pope in this country, has written and publish
ed a letter. in which we find the following
plain and distinct avowal of the allegiance
Catholics in this country owe the Pope Of
Rome. A more unblushing avowal has never
been made:
The Pope is the proper authority to de-
eide for me. whether the Constitution of this
country is or Is not repugnant to the laws Of
God. If he decides that it is not, then am
bound in conscience to obey &c.
In other words, if the Pope decides that
the Constitution of this country is repugnant
to the laws of God, then Mr.. Brownson and
all good Catholics will obey the Pope. and
oppose the Constitution of their native or
adopted country. How long would our free
institutions be maintained by such men. &C
knowledglng such allegiance
