At Norfolk they have Scaboard Fair, which is
generally equal to tie State Fair at Richmond. Some
how the people Of this section Of the State do not 90
into the State Fair at Raleigh with much rtm as
perhaps they ought. Now we have suggestion to
make to the several Agricultural Societies in this part
of the State and that is to hold Union Fair, in,
say two years at convenient and accessible point in
the Cape Fear region This would, we think, have a
beneficial effect i'll bringing together the people of a
number of counties whose pursuits similar, nearly
similar whose interests are ought to be IDENTICAL
1t ought to be arranged to invite and the
cooperation of large portion of the Neuse country
as possible. What say Agricultural friends through
out the district and the southeast generally?

From the London Times.
Whatever be the result of the difference which has
arisen between France and Portugal there are in it
many things which the mind of wel-wisher
to the general peace of Europe and to the great interests
of humanity at large, must rest with little satisfaction
We feel no difficulty in concluding that the merits
of the question the great Power is entirely in the wrong
and the little one is entirely in the right This, howev
er, is but very small part of the matter Let US as
sumo France to have been clearly right she was
manlfesty wrong. Surely in order to enforce that right
she should have altered no and employed no
measures which she would not have used to Russia to
England to the United States of America If France
believe herself to be in the right in what respect could
her dignity suffer if instead of the ntoerabe preensOn
be udgen her cause she had shown herself ready
to mbide by the impartial decision of neutral Power?
If she knew she wrong no doubt the course adopted
is not the less an invasion Of that equality which the
public law of modern Europe attributes to all sovereign
States, and an inraction of declaration of the Paris
Congress which binds the great Powers to have re-
course to the intervention Of an impartial arbitrator be-
fore appealing to arms.
No doubt it is exceedingly convenient for nations
well as individuals to decide their own causes in their
own favor but the time will often come when the mex
pediency of this onesded method Of adjudication is
made manifest even to those who most inclined to
have recourse to it. The doctrine that justice is only for
equals but that between superior and inferior relations
to be regulated by their relative powers alone finds no
acceptance code fmOdern Europe and any Power that
succeeds in introducing it will have shaken to their oun
dations those doctrines upon which alone general peace
be permanently maintained. We cannot but regard
it unfortunate that reractions real supposed, OF
the international law Of Europe with regard to the Slave
Trade should frequently form the occasion Of deren-
ces to which France is party We might have hoped
that nation which claims not unreasOnably foremost
place in directing the march of civilization, would even
if she had been subjected to slight amount Of merited
annoyance and veXatiOn by the honest efforts of other
countries put complete end the Slave Trade have
considered the excellent end in view as complete excuse
