The State Fair.

The State Fair closed on Friday last. The at
tendance considering the state Of the weather, was
large but if the weather had been clear and pleas
ant as it is now at least three thousand more per-
sons would have been in attendance.
We do not hesitate to say-after a dgent ex.
animation of the whole grounds, and having wit.
messed all the exhibitions of the same kind here
that the articles at the late Fair in variety, quality,
and numbers, surpassed those of any former Fair
and in this opinion we arc sustained by all with
whom we have conversed on the subject.
We know apprchensions were entertained that
the late Fair would not be equal to the public ex-
pectatons; but it has and gone, and the State
Society, with its annual exhibitions, may now be
regarded as a fixed institution. The novelty of the
thing had passed away, and the time had come for
the reality; and the result has shown that our
farmers and mechanics are not only improving and
advancing but that they are proud of the opportu-
nifty thus afforded OF meeting together, to exhibit
and compare the productions of their industry SCI
ence aud skill.
Our notice of the articles in last, though ex-
tended, was necessarily imperfect Many things
deserving of special attention and remark were no
Among other departments, we we're pleased to
see that of the planters and farmers we'll filed.
The stock, of horses, cattle, hogs sheep, and the
Ike was full, and embraced much of the best
varieties and bloods.
Floral Hall was radiant with fair faces, flowers,
and fruits The needlework of all kinds exhibited
in this Hail. was very fine-bctter, we are assured,
than ever before exhibited.
Among the minerals which saw in Floral Hall,
was lump of solid gold, valued at $500, from the
Ports Mine, exhibited by Thos. K. Thomas, Esq,
Of Louisburg.

next ISSUE the proceedings Of the State Society. to-

Mr.. Hedrick Dismissed.

We learn that at q meeting OF the Executive Com
mittee of the Board of Trustees held at the Cover
nor's Office on Saturday last, Mr.. Hedrck was unan-
imously dismissed from his place a Professor in
the University of this State.
We make this announcement with much grati6-
cation though felt sure from the first that such
would be the action of the Executive Committee.
We have received number of communications
on the subject, and several from Trustees of the
University, the publication of which has been rem
dered unnecessary by this action of the Committee.
Mr.. Black Republican Hedrick may now turn for
consolation and support to his abolition brethren Of
the free States. His whole conduct in this matter
has been not only in direct opposition to the best
interests of the University, but it is marked with
the grossest ingrattude and he has shown, by hold
ing on to his place after he had been notified that
his usefulness was gone, that he is insensbc to
those impulses and considerations which never fail
to operate on high-toned and honorable man. In.
formed that he had ceased to be useful, he begged
for time and at last had to be dismissed Mr.. He'd.
rick, we believe, is a beneficiary of the University
and he sent to Cambridge on a salary, and sus-
tanned there white acquiring and perfecting hrs knowl-
edge in Agricultural Chemistry Warmed into life
on the hearthstone of the University the viper turn
ed upon his dina Mater and upon the State of his
nativity with his envenomed fangs But he has been
cast ou: and is powerless for evil If the abo.
litionsts should take him up, the history of his
conduct here will follow him and they will know,
as he will feel that they have received to their bos
ON dangerous, but congenial and ungratefu thing.
SYRACUSE, N. T., Get. 1.-THE Republicans last
evening fred one hundred guns in honor of the
Pennsylvania election, believing at the time that
they and not the Democrats, had carried it.
Just the predicament of their ally, the Green's
boro' Patriot, who would have fred one hundred
ouns if he had had them. Hear that sheet in its
last issue
Thc indications that the American and Union ticket
has succeeded in Pennsylvania and that the State will go
for Fillmore at the November election, when expected
make clean sweep Of the Tory decks and to nSct
tremendous fagelaOn upon Old Buck IN MS own o'a'e
"Nuffced." Roll on the ball! ..e-. ...-
The black republican Of Syracuse shout forth their
ioy over supposed victory, and the Patriot echoes
back the shout Who is the Southern story" We
rejoice that his deck has been swept and that ma
tional conservatism has trumphed over the united
hosts of Northern fanatics and Southern traitors
If the editor of the Patriot knows any thing, he
knows that had the fusionists carried Pennsylvania
last week, it would only have strengthened Fremont
without adding vote to Fillmore. This he must
know, and yet grows glad over the supposition that
Fremont is stronger than Buchanan in Pennsylvania

NOBLE SENr1MESrs.-The following extract from

not be too frequently or too carefully read:
al have been abroad in other lands; have wit
messed arbitrary power; I have contemplated the
people or other countries but there is no country
under Gods heavens where man feels for his fell
low-man except in the United States. And if you
could feel how despotism looks on, how jealous the
despotic powers Of the world are Of our glorious in
stitutions you would cherish the constitution and
Union in your hearts-next to your belief in the
Christian religion-the Bible for Heaven, and the
constitution Of your country for earth"

Ohio Election.


If the Democracy of Ohio have not achieved q full
and complete victory their enemies, their sue
cesses in the southern part of the State have been
SO very great to awaken the deepest and warmest
feelings Of gratitude and admiration, wherever the
glad tidngs have been spread In the absence of
official returns will not undertake to give the
figures of majorites 1t is enough, and far more
than was anticipated, to know that the Democrats
have certainly elected nine, and possibly eleven, Of
their candidates for Congress. In the ten certain
members for the Democrats, no account is taken of
the reported defeat of Mr.. L. d. Campbell, as the
chances appear to be in favor of his reelection by
very small majority. Union
Indiana Election.
Seventy-seven counties in the State have been
of the associated press Willard the Democratic
didate for Governor, 5000 majority. We have re-
ccived several dispatches from Indianapolis. and
from reliable sources, which place Wizards maj orr.
ty as high as eight and even ten thousand. To use
the language of one of these dispatches the Demo-
State ticket by an overwhelming majority. They
have carried both branches of the State Legislature,
and they have elected eight out of the eleven Con-
gressmen of which the delegation from this State is
composed. Indiana is Democratic all over.-Union.
The Florida Election.
Since the result of the election in Pennsylvania,
we hear no more of telegraphic dispatches ammo
uncing Know Nothing triumphs in Florida.
The Savannah Georgian states that, according to
its figures, official and reported, from Florida, Perry
(Dem.) leads Walker (Amer.) about 800 for Govern
or, and Hawkins (Dem.) leads Baker (Amer) full
400 for Congress. The remaining counties, it is
thought, are more likely to increase than diminish
these majorities.
The NEXT House OF REPREsENrATIvEs.-Ihe
Democratic gains of Congressman at the elections
held on Tuesday last foot up thus:
Pennsylvania, 10
Ohio, 10
Indiana,
Total, 26
The above, with the gains which will certainly be
made in New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Con-
necticut, vii, give the next House of Representatives
to the Democrats by very decided majority.

look forward to the day when there shall be
servle insurrection in the South; when the black

British officers shall assert his freedom and wage
war of determination against his master; when the

the greatest political blessing ever conferred by
well-beng of the slave and free negro-as they val

the long continued agitation in the North against
slavery in the South. Is it unreasonable that the
South should make this demand? The agitation
has reached such height that the Southern people
feel their personal security to be involved 1t has
filed the minds Of the slaves with vague notions of
emancipation, and, in the language of General Jack

and produce all the horrors of servile war" Al
though any such attempt on their part would be
easily and speedily suppressed, yet what horrors
might not in the mean time be perpetrated? Many

ABOLlTIONISM IN OUR MIDST.-We nave frequently
called the attention of the Southern people to the
alarming influence which hired mmissaries from
the North exerting on our slave property. We
believe the public cannot too often be reminded of
this incendiary movement which has been set on
foot by the enemies of the South, to destroy her
peace by instgating servile war. As evdencing the
necessity of the caution we have urged, we cite =
few examples of announcements contained in some
of our exchanges.
A day or two ago We gave an account Of the ex-
pulsion from Alabama and Mississippi Of several
Northern incendiaries. Of two moro of these per.
sons, the Sumter (Ala.) Democrat says:
1--WE have just learned from private source that
two men by the name of Pierce, Yankee school
teachers in Clarke county, Miss, have been detected
in attempting to incite the negroes in that Sec
ton, to nsurrection, in the following bold and fear
less manner One of these gentlemen had iden-
titled himself with the community in which he lived
by purchasing a saw mill, under which he has .
room, SO constructed as to enable him to hold his
councils unperceived. 1t was discovered in neigh
boring swamp that they had also fitted up rendez
vous with seats, &C. sufficient to accommodate three
hundred persons, where according to the testimony
OF the negroes, they Qhe pegroes) had assemblies OF
from ten miles square"
The Eliza (Ala) Democrat, states that five or more
of these pernicous scoundres recently expelled
from that place for crimes similar to those above
described.
Two pedlars were recently expelled from Cheraw,
South Carolina, on the charge OF tamperng Win ne.
groes. One u them on his arrival in New York
to which place his passage was paid-published a
lachrymose card in the New York Herald, in which
he stated with all the necessary preliminares of in
justice oppression and ire, that he had been deprived
of his property.
A few days ago. the citizens Of Livingston, Sum
ter county, Ga. held meeting to consider the case
of man named Sherwood, charged with being an
abolition incendiary. He was ordered to leave the
State within three days. suspected abolitionist
has also been arrested at Columbus Mss and placed
in Jail for trial.
Nov, when in connection with these extracts it is
recoilected that about four weeks ago, Black Re-
publican scoundrel was driven nom Lexington in
Virginia, who will dare say that there is not emil
nent need of constant warning?
