Agricultural Fair.

MIR. EDITOR:
l was glad to see by the
advertisement of our Agricultural Society
that they intend holding a Spring Exhi-
bition and Fair 1t is what | have long
desired to see tried, and if our farmers
will only take hold of it as they ought to
do it may prove of more real benefit to
them than the regular Fall Exhibition
As understand it it is TO be " Farmers
Erchange" where everything in their line
is to be bought and sold or exchanged,
an opportunity being given to see a "a
riety Of stock, implements, &c. together,
and thereby be better able to judge Of
their merits. hope our farmers and
manufacturers will go into it in earnest
and every one bring whatever they may
have to dispose of and have no doubt n
very interesting and useful Exhibition
will take place. Our farmers generally
do not take many holidays let them
make up their minds to take the 2lst .
May and bring their wives and children
the admittance is put at SO low rat'
that every one can afford to come

Rebel Report of the Capture of New

THE FLEET PASS FORT JACKSON,
Delaware State journal and statesman., 1862-04-29

TO all other native born citizens, and also to
every other class of aliens their being marked
out, not only by law, hut also by public senti-
ment, which is stronger or more effective than
law, as an inferior and degraded caste, prevent
ed by the force OF circumstances iron engaging
in honorable or lucrative employmenls, thus be-
ing in great measure prevented from leading
life either honorable TO themselves or useful
TO their country-a strong aud rapidly increasing
feeling has grown up among u large portion Of
the free cOlored population (prohaby already "a
majority Of the whole) in favor Of emigration TO
those countries where color is not considered a
badge OF degradation, aud has ceased to act as
u barrier to honorable advancement.
While there is considerable diversity of opin-
ion as to the best location to migrate to, some
preierring Africa, some the British West India
Islands, some llaytl, some South America and
Central America, they all seem to agree that
either is preferable to remaining under the die
abilities imposed upon them in the land of their
birth, and very large majority look upon the
first and last named regions, Africa and Central
America, ns Offering greater inducements than
any other localities TO the industrious emigrant.
We therefore pray your honorable body to grant
assistance, in such manner as you may deem ex-
pedient, TO colOFed natives of the United States
who may desire to emigrate to Africa or the
tropical regions of America.
Your memorialists think that there are many
good and sufficient reasons for granting such
assistance, aud ask permission to call your
attention to few Of them.
II seems to he the settled policy of the nation,
as evinGed in the action of both the State and
federal governments, to diseonntenance in every
manner the increase Of persons of color in their
midst, and TO use every legal means to induce
| those now here to emigrate; and there is proba
bly, no one point on which the public sentiment
| of every section of the country aud of every
class OF society is 30 perfectly unanimous as
upon this and Legislation Of the severest kind
has been resorted to in many Of the States, both
north and south, in order to promote that end.
II is not the intention of your memorialists 10
call iu question the wisdom or justice Of those
laws, but we may be allowed to remark that
they seem to have failed entirely of the desired
effect, although the white population are almost
unanimously in favor Of the separation they are
designed to effect, and very large majority oil
the cooFed ptpulAtion also. The failure tC
accomplish what an classes 60 ardently desire
may be attributed to the fact that the wishes oil
the blacks tbsmneves have been disregarded
and that tAots alie hgye nppoaTed to them al
