The editor of the South Side Democrat, in the
of earnest appeal to his fellow. Democrats
Of the Old Dominion, pointedly observes:
'Be not deceived by the plausible assertion that
distribution is the only question in the canvass it
surely will not be the only question in Congress-
And. morevcr, it is untrue that distribution is the
only question before the country it is not the SUBJ
cct ct discussion in half dozen States of the con-
ederacy at the present time indeed the cla,nor Of
the dstrbutioniss is almost exclusively confined to
Virginia and North Carolina. 1t formed no apprc-
ciabe part of the canvass in Rhode Island. Missouri
Iowa, South Carolina, Connecticut, where general
or partial elections have been held during the last
few weeks, and. a distinctive feature of policy
will not have a dozen representatives in the next
Congress, outside of the abolition ranks.
Now, we ask, in all candor, is 1t the part of wis
dom or OF patriotism to endanger for this visionary
object the great living principles of your par ty and
the safety of your country ?"

The State Fair for 1857.

We copy to-day, from the Cutvator, the list of
premiums proposed to be awarded at the next State
Fair by the North-C Carolina State Agricultural So
ciety.
The list appears to be fuller and more judicious
than any heretofore presented and it bears evil
dence of much labor and patience the part of the
Executive Committee.
The exhibition of last year was a decided i'm.
provement in every respect upon those which had
preceded it; and trust the next one will show
still further improvement.
We learn from the Cultivator. that at the last
meeting of the Executive Committee, Robert A.
Hamilton, Esq., having removed from the State,
sent in his resignation as member of the Commit
tee, and Hon. Weldon n Edwards of Warren, was
appointed to fill the vacancy. The Society loses an
active and efficient member of the Committee by the
resignation of Mr.. Hamilton; but he exhibited his
attachment to the Society and his love of his native
State, by enclosing in his letter of resignation the
sum of $40 to constitute him life member of the
Society,"

BELFoRD MALE ACADEMY.-We are requested to
state that Henry G. Williams, Esq. of Nash, will
deliver address before the students Of Belford
Male Academy, Franklin County. on the 10Th of
June.
One of the most gratifying features of the times is
the interest taken by gentlemen Of intelligence in
educational movements. Ten years ago it was
thing to see it stated that address would be
delivered before the students of an Academy such
literary efforts being confined almost entirely to the
Colleges; but now every County has its Academies,
and almost every examination brings with it inter.
esting and instructive addresses.
