Dor Of winter visitors who were sojourning In the
different sections of the State, particularly in
East Florida; but partly because the rates Of
fare on the railroads were not low enough, and
partly because Of the insane fear existing among
the people OF East Florida lest visitors should see
the fairest and most attractive portion Of the
State. and thus few dollars less would be real
lied from the annual crop of tourists, the attend
ance of this class was small. The proceeds Of
the fair however, covered the expenses.
In the work OF encouraging immigration the
Association has not been idle. Besides The effect
necessarily produced by the holding Of the annual
fairs named, and the acquisition by Leon county
Of the prize a. the Banner County OF the State; =
the method adopted for advertising the second
fair in January, 1870, was part Of the Assocla-
TONS efforts In this behalf The premium list
was published In the form Of . large, 20 column
sheet, the same size a. the FLoRrDrAN, and con-
tanning, besides the premium list proper, several
columns Of matter descriptive of Middle Florida,
generally and by counties, articles on ruitculure
in Middle Florida and other kindred subjects, .

the ten counties Of the district, and advertise
nients Three large editions, aegregating tenthcu-
sand copies, were issued and circulated within
and without the State, on the drst ef each Of the

LET US GO FORWARD.


All change is not progress, says the
historian Froude, and this truth is one
which Legislative bodies constantly
Keep in view. The present Leeisla-
ture of Mississippi, on coming TO-
gether should take careful survey of
the horizon, both State and National
and should endeavor to see that what,
ever action it takes should be in the
dlrectlon of progress. There should
be no step backward either in the ad-
mlnlstration and regulation of State
affairs, or in such action as affects onr
national relations. We have not vet
passed the point where the latter can
be disregarded with safety. On the
contrary, the near approach of an
other supreme struggle for the con-
troll of the government laws us under
increased obligation to be discreet cir
cumspect and conservative. The
Legislatures which assemble i'm the
Southern States this winter can do
much toward assisting the national
Democratic party by wise and pruden-
dial action. Sectional feeling plaved
a large part in the recent elections of
the North, and unfortunately no
Southern State furnished so much f1aI
TO feed the flame as Mississippi. Bya {
succession of unfortunate occurrences ,
in no way attributable to any IawIess ,
spirit or feeling in the people of the /,
State, who, taken as a whole, are as |
peaceful and orderly as the DeonIo of L
any State in the Union, we have been q
brought into an Odium and disreputc
abroad which are source of serioIIs
injury toOur material interests. Labor q
and capital are both deferred from en- Ii
5ering our borders by the impression
nat we are restless, discontented.
ilsorderly and unprogressive commu-
MY, IN which the passions and pre- u
udices of the war continue to be the bl
dominant influences which control So sI
lety. 1t is incumbent upon the Leg
stature to do whatever it can to coun- "
eract this impression, and to give
olce and emphasis to the true senti-
lent OF the masses of the people. T.,
'hich we believe to be i'm every sense u
conservative and patriotic. "n
cannot do better than to follow i'm no
ne footsteps of the Legislature of
$40, which though it was "storm
'adled, so TO speak, and though il oil
Id not finch from the task of over -
lrnlng the rotten dynasty of Ames III
Co., was yet most able and con-
rvative body of men. Upon all sub
cts Of political significance, whether he
uching the relations of races i'm the 5,l
ate, or the relations of the State to ''i
e Federal Government, their action n
as marked alike by wisdom, Justice
I'd patriotism. We trust that when Ma
e members Of the present Legisla- $40
ne return to their constituents they
U be as well entitled to their graft 4
de and cOmmendation. l.,

We are not able to go that far bocl,
INTO the record from personal knowl-
edge or recollection, but our informal
ton is to this effect: Roger Barton
was the choice of majority of Demo-
Gratis in the Legislature of 1850, but
Jefferson Davis, not Jesse Spcight
was the choice of a large minority of
the Democrats. There were about 80
wings in that Legislature, who made
no light, and who were known to pre-
fer Davis to Barton on account of his
greater moderation. The Democratic
friends OF Davis refused to go into Il
caucus on this account, and Mr.. Davis |
was elected. That Legislature NAV
nave "got fooled out of Roger Barton. ),
'ut they elected a man who was i'm
his superior in statesman
MP and intellect. If the present
legislature get worse "fooledu than
