JUDGE RUFFIN'S ADDRESS,
The annual address by Judge Ruffl.n, deli~ered at
the Fair Grounds on Thursday, was one oftile ablest,
and in some respecti the best we have ever read
or listened to. His subject was North·Carolin&, her
agric~ltu ra.l sistory and condi tion, her resources,
and her great advantages of climate, sta.boal'd and
soil. He dwelt at some length on the character of
slave labor, tracing in a masterlr manner the na.ture
of the institution of slavery itself, and its benefits
to both races . .
'Ve shan have the pleasure of laying the add,ress
before our reade.rs in our nex t. ,Its publiCAtion wHl
be of much service to the cause of agriculture, and
will be the means of magnifying North-CtlroliAa
. ~herever it is read.
. The venerable orator spoke ~: ith much emphasis
and earnestness. His' heart was in his wot-ds, and
they were a.eply felt by th e 'imYlensc audience.
