The North Star, Charlotte, Prince Edward $
Island, is publishing series Of articles on the
questions of the fisheries in reference to General
Buffers mission The following extract shows
that public sentiment, to certain extent, Is
likely to sympathze with the object of the mis-
sion
We command but small part of the waters
from which the Americans take fish. They might
be totally excluded from our fisheries. yet the
quantity of fish they would carry home would be
but little, if any, less than formerly. They,
however, appreciate and wish to share in our
fisheries as they admit their excellence, if their
extent Is limited, and they seem willing to con-
ce1e to US great or greater benefits in return.
Let US in returning to free trade secure all the
privileges We can but We must not press de
mands which may be obnoxious, and for which
required privileges we cannot make adequate
returns.
1t is scarcely necessary for us 10 say much
about the free navigation Of our rivers, &c. II
the Americans gain this privilege, they undoubt-
edly would be willing to grant the same to US
in their inland waters
In conclusion, we reiterate that Prince Ed
wards Island needs reciprocal trade with the
United States. Her statesmen and people must
do all thay can TO secure IT, All efforts in Il
parate capacity, and in conjunction with the
other provinces must be made ; and no questions
Of superior privileges, and no obnoxious demands
should Illustrate negotiations.

/ II the Atlanta Constitution Is to be believed
the white Radicals in the Georgia constitutional
Convention voted down the clause allowing ne.
groes to hold Office, and by virtue Of which tn,
Legislature has now turned the negroes out. Tn,
clause in question was section ten of the Consti.
tuition, and reads as follows
SECTION 10. All qualified electors. and non,
others, shall be eligible to any Office in this State
unless disqualified by the Constitution of thi,
State, or by the Constitution Of the United
States
On the lith Of February, 1865, this clause
was stricken out by a vote Of l26 to -. Among
the yeas is the name Of Foster Blodget, who in
the late State Convention introduced a resolution
denouncing the project Of turning the colored
members out Of the legislature The Macon
Telegraph, a Seymour paper, speaking Of the
defeat OF the aboye-named 10th section, says
1t was done with the assent Of not only nearly
all the rhifc Radicals Of that body, but also Of a
large majority Of the negroes themselves.
When this special provision to enable negroes
to hold Office was voted down the negroes were
then actually and positively excluded by the
adoption Of article eleventh Of the Constitution,
which rc-enacts Sc all Acts passed by any legis-
lative body, sitting in this State as such, since
the 10th day of January, 1861, including that
body Of laws known as the Code Of Georgia, and
the Acts amendatory thereof, and passed since
that time, which said code are embodied in the
printed book known as Irwins Code, &c, Sc.
This article establishes all the old legislation Of
the State not inconsistent with the Constitution
Of the United States and Of Georgia, and con-
cluded the business SO far as negro office holding
in Georgia under that Constitution was con-
cernci.

No man in his senses-unless grossly ignor-
ant Of what is said and done in the Southern
States-can doubt that the active and malignant
spirits remaining there hope to regain, and that
very soon, all the political power which was
| wrested from their rebellious hands by the
national arms As when they went into rebel
lion, they relied FOR success on promised help
from the Democratic party at the North, So now
they base their hope on the success Of the Demo
cratic party at the coming Presidential election
For that success they are now straining every
nerve.
Saying nothing Of the means used to this end
at the North by the papers and speakers, now
openly affiliated with the most daring and mis-
cheyious elements of the armed rebellion, we
may class all the means relied on at the South
for success under two heads, ri-:-cajolery and
yiolence-cajolery addressed to the freedmen, to
lure them to follow the dictation of their for
mer masters; and violence to the extent Of I'M
limited oppression and murder, threatened for
both freedmen and white. who shall dare to vote
the Republican ticket
Soft words addressed to the freedmen, telling
them Of the warm affection which has always
subsistei between them when they were slaves
and their masters, who it is said are and always
have been their best friends. the only ones who
can and Will take the best possible care of their
interests, if they Will only accept their natural
situation, that is of doing just what they are told
to DO by those who own al the land and can give
them the employment which they neel-are not
felt To- De- very sure reliance. There evidently Is
a strong conviction that the freedmen will be
more likely TO trust those who helped them to
their freedom than those who rebelled to set up
a government whose corner stone was to be the
perpetuation Of negro slavery, and hints, there
fore, that there j. an iron hand in the soft glove
are thrown out every day with more frequency
and more emphasis Thelanguageis, do just as we
say, pay no attention to Sc Northern carpet-bar-
gers, and radicals who care nothing for you or
your rights; vote with us the democratic ticket
and all viii 60 well with You hereafter-but as
sure as you dare to vote a republican ticket You
4As "' d9SuieA lLat YOU Nu1u nave neither
homes nor employment; We viii turn You over
to starvation and your radical leaders, and you
will soon see the swift and utter ruin they have
brought upon you. As for them, we Will soon
make the South too hot for them TO stay in it. |
after We have once regainel our political power.
That they are in earnest in their threats is
,bundantly shown by the almost daily robberie-
md murders Of Union men, both black and |
ghitc which occur in yario us parts of the South
I'm States, and the power excrtci TO check them |

Contrast the words Of Lees letter with the
words Of the Southern orators. Gen. Lee and
his associates say:
Whatever opinions may have prevailed il
the past in regard to African slavery, or the
right of a State to secede from the Union, we he
leye We express the almost unanimous judgment
OF the Southern people, when We declare that
they consider that those questions ircre fecidea
By The lrar, and that it is their intention IN good
faith to abide by that decision"
But all the Southern people do not concur
with Lee and his friends, in saying that the
secession question was " decided by the war"
Wise jumps to his feet in Richmond and says,
e secession is more alive than ever" Vance
says d" the South will gain aH It fought for IN
the rebellion" Semmes says he fought the war
on the principles Of Democracy, and now the
grand old Democratic Party has risen from its
long slumber" Albert Pike says, Swear
eternal hatred to your oppressors." Swear that
no Northern man shall cross the Susquehanna
and the Ohio and live. Sayboch says " By

gains what they had fought for Judge Jones

THE STATE FAIR.

We had the pleasure Nlosiay VI taking a
glance at the final preparations for the eighteenth
snngal Fair Of the Vermont State Agricultural
Society and Wool Growers Association al their
spacious grounds to the north of the Battery.
A. We gave full and detailed description Of
the buildings ard plan of the grounds a few
days since, We will only say in regard to these
that the work then under such successful pros
scution has been entirely carried out, with sew
eral additions which will add much to the at
fractions and conveniences Of the place.
Among which We may mention the large refec-
tory under the charge Of Messrs. D G. Wells,
and G F. Appleton, which has been arranged to
'ccpmmodase ope hundred and eighty persons at
table, where warm meals viii be served up At all
hours and at reasonable prices.
The Floral Hall has been beautifully trimmed
with evergreen, and flowers under the immediate
supervision Of Mr.. Edward Smith Of our eitv. to
whose labor and taste assisted as he has been by
many Of our Burlington ladies-among whom we
may name Miss Spear, Mrs. L. A. Drew, Miss
+. Drew, Mrs. Joseph Hatch-too much credit
cannot be given. The floral designs contributed
BY Mr.. t. Mech OF Shelburne and others are
also exceedingly beautiful. This Hall, designed
Tor the Horticultural, Floral, Musical and Me-
chanical exhibition is pronounced Unsurpassed
both in size or construction by any similar build
ing owned by any Of the Agricultural Societies.
and is far in advance of many of those occupied
FOR last years fairs, not excepting thai af ,he
great New England FaiF at New Haven. Ifit is
filed, as II deserves TO be. the show in these de-
partments will be something worthy Of the most
careful examination.
The general superintendent Of the Fair is
Henry 5, Morse, of Sheburn. For superip-
tendents Of the various departments he has ap-
pointed the following gentlemen:
Floral Hall-Wm. II. Holabird, Sbelburn
Mechanics Hall-Samuel Eyerts, Cornwall
Horses-Henry B. Kent, Dorset
Cattle-Hepry Hayward, Rutland.
sheep-Daniel Kimban, Rutland.
Henry Clark, of Rutland, the Secretary. than
whom no better one could have been selected, is
on the grounds hard at work, together with his
aids. Prof A. D. Hagar, of Proctorsville, acts
as his chief clerk, and Messrs. E. A. Jewett, Of
Burlington, and J. Mathews, Of Rutland, his
assistant clerks Their office is in the south
west corner Of Floral Hall, Mr.. Clark's room
at the American is No. 10. His entry clerks are
Messrs G. B. Shaw and E. W. Taft, Of Burlino-
ton. Every assistance and courtesy will be
rendered by this efficient corps to all who desire
it.
Marshal N. B. Flanagan, Of this city, will
ensure the successful carrying out Of the full
programme.
Chief Of Police Mr.. Luman A. Drew has charge
Of the police arrangements on the grounds. His
headquarters will be in the room under the
judges stand, where at all times information or
can be obtained and complaints made

press their sentiments. There is no restraint
upon their tongues There is no need of any one
hunting them out in the Virginia mountains to
ask them what they are pleased to demand of us.
Wade Hampton and many others have told US
with so much frGnkness that they have been
requested by their Democratic brethren in the
North to moderate their language for dear Sey
mour's sake. If Lee, Beauregard, and the other
rebels have any propositions to make in a re-
spectful manner to the people of the North, we
are all ready to hear them with a charitable de
gree Of patience But We submit that Gen.
Rosecrans, our Minister to Mexico, can be in
more edifying business than running after them
to elicit from them the declaration that they do
not want those citizens Of the South, who alone
remained loyal through the war, deprived Of po-
litical power. We say this in sorrow rather than
in anger For we are grieved TO see Gen Rose
Grams, by act Of folly, to use no harsher term,
tarnish the fair record which he made in the
war

The noticeable feature at the fair grounds
/ yesterday was the continued accumulation Of
animals and articles. Of animals by far the
most noticeable are the short-horu or Durham
cattle. The unexpected necessity for the extern
sion Of cattle accommodation has caused some
little delay in getting them into place, bat upon
the ground apd a. the Immediate vicinity is a
display OF stock that would 10 honor To- larger
States than ours.
Carlos Pierce, Of Sanstead, Pc, a consider
able portion Of whose farm is in Vermont, has
already upon the grounds his famous fat OK
s. Gen. Grant He is a high grade short-horn
and noble specimen, weighing 5000 lis At
the head of the herd proper stands the six year
old bull s. Monitor, and by his side and Of his
get three two year odd and one yearling bulls
The fem+lSs 81 his herd are not yet admitted to
the grounds. There are Of these seven thorough
bred and one grade cows, two two-year old and
one yearling heifer and six calves Mr. Pierce's
stock is all Of the Princess and BATES families #
short-horns, which have the highest reputation
for milking qualities.
1t may not be generally known that there is a
very great constitutional difference between the
several families Of shOrt-horns in REGARD TO the
production Of milk and milk products. Indeed
we may safely conclude from the readiness with
which many individuals catch at anything called
Durham y that there Is almost a wilful ignor-
ance in that particular The most casual OBJ
server cannot but have observed that there is a
very striking contrast between different indivi-
duals on exhibition here in that respect, whe-
Their he attributes it to accident or 10 well under
stood causes, and if the observer has extended
his investigation so far as to compare herd with
herd and families with other families, he Will
have found the rule always holding good that
the tendency to milk production is the result Of
careful breeding through long course Of years
with direct reference to that end
But we have drifted off into the discussion If
matters somewhat foreign to our purpose. and
we hasten to return to the more legitimate sinh
jet in hand
Next in point of merit to the herd Of Mr.
Pierce, and indeed we are not quite sure that We
might not rank it first, stands that of Messrs
A NJ. Winslow & Sons, of Putney. Theirs is n
pure g Princess " herd, except that their year
ling bull Duke of Putney,'' the head of the
herd, is half Duchess and half Princess. Some
Of their Oldest and best animals have gone
through the list Of prizes at the State shows and
being ineligible are not now on exhibition. Their
bull calf Belvedere - is full Princess got nv
Second Earl of Carlisle and shows an m
broken pedigree through nineteen generations.
The writer has had occasion to witness the
milking Of the Messrs. winslow's cows on tbres
several occasions, and takes pleasure in attestipr
to their milking qualities.
