as they heretofore have the Republican
party, or, like it, we shall! soon be with
out power. Dear Mac, you Lave nailed
the corporation flag at your masth cad,
and you should not blame US if it does
float successfully, and if Democrats
fail to come under it and halloo for it.
Tear it down, and, even at this late
day, if you will float the true Jeffarso-
man flag, the Democrats will rally
round it like true men and Democrats.
The editor of the IrOnton REGISTER has
heard that Judge Fox has been invited to
make political speech in Madison county,
| and hopes "for his own reputation and the
| credit o. the Judiciary that he will decline"
The Judge is Democrat, and one of the
ablest and best in the State. But to say that
himself or the Judiciary would lose any dig
nifty by his advocating Democratic princi-
| pies in Il speech is anything but compliment
airy to the Democratic party. If the party's
principles are worth anything, they are
worthy OF being championed by any man,
whether he he judge or John Smith. -
Jackson CashbOob.
To which we wish to say, first of all,
that we want it distinctly understood
that our remarks were not made in an
unfriendly spirit to Judge Fox. On the
contrary, there is no man in the South
East whom we esteem more highly,
and of whose usefulness in the future
we have higher hopes or expectations.
1t is for these reasons largely that we
discouraged his friends putting him OH
the stunij, while Judge of his circuit.
We hope and expect to see, Judge Fox
on the Supreme Bench at no distant
day, should he make no important
mistakes; and We expect to aid in
bringing about such result.
But, c,rtainly, making political
speeches, while Judge, is not one of
the things that would help Judge Fox,
or any other Judge, in the estimation
of considcfate people. If We ale not
knowledge of legal and judicial ethics,
it is one Of the high improp:ieties for
Judge of high court to go upon the
hustings, and make political haran-
guCs. The thing is just as bad in prin-
ciple, if done by good Democrat, as
Judge Fox, as if done by Republican.
1t is totally wrong in practice and
principle, and that is why We discour-
age it, and discourage it with eDaloha-
sis.

The Pennington FAIR.


The fifteenth annual fair of the ST.
Frarcious County Agricultural and
Mechanical Association will commence
on Tuesday, the 9TH day of September,
1856 and will continue days.
Great care was taken that this exhi-
bition should not conflict with the time
of any other fair. Hence it is hoped
and believed that the attendance of
prominent stockmen from Missouri, H.
linois, Kentucky and Arkansas, will,
this year, be more than double, that of
any previous fair. Greater efforts have
been made to seek out and communi-
cate with owners of strictly first-class
stock, and better inducements have
been held out to them, in order that
our people may have a strong incen-
tive TO attend and patronizc the fair.
The fair S rounds have been thor
oughly overhauled and renovated in
every respect. The buildings have
been cleaned, repaired and white
washed, the wells put i'm good order,
the pens and stalls increased in num-
Der and improved in comfort and con-
venience.
The premium list has been carefully
revised and while some of the trivial
premiums have been dropped out,
many of the larger and more interest
ing prizes have been increased and in
some cases doubled over last years fig
ures.
The police and other attendants have
been selected with reference to their
fitness for the duties they will have TO
perform; and the public may rest as
sured that the strictest order will be
maintained.
One important class of our people
should come forward this year in full
force. The premiums for all kinds of
Ladies' handiwork, &C., were never so
large nor so varied as this year; and
the displays in their departments this
year will greatly eclipse any former
year, and add much interest to the
fair.
The best of music will be provided.
Booth for the sale of refreshments of
all kinds will be greater in number
and finer in appointments than at any
previous fair-as it is thought by the
directory, as well rs the booth propri-
etors, that the crowd at the ensuing
fair W ill be at least three or four times
as great as at any fair ever held in
Pennington.
Arrangements have been or will be
made TO secure reduced rates of trans
portation on all persons, animals and
articles, to and from the Pennington
fair; complimentary tickets have been

A Good Sign.

There is probably no sterner tealty
to party in the State than that pos
sessed by the Democrats of Iron cOun-
ty.
The complaints are 'long and loud -
from every quarter of the county as to
the manner in which the late primary
was cond ucted, and the brazen frauds
perpetrated on them by non-residents
and others not entitled to vote, yet
there is generaI feeling to acquiesce
in the result, and see TO it that the
wrongs shall never be repeated. And
we think that the new committee will
adopt such rules as will make a repe-
tition impossible. The old committee
did what they thought necessary to
secure fair result, but the rules were
not sufficient, and those that were pre-
scribed were not enforced in some
places.
Gentlemen. stick to the ticket as
nominated. Elect the nominees. No
grumbling from this quarter ifa little
subdued cursing should be INDUCED in
if you think ii will act as a soothing
syrup-but stick to the ticket, right or
wrong, and vote Ter straight through.
