at hand of the declared purpose of the governor to
convene the legislatures physognomist might find
it, iii the long vsages which have been lately seen
10 immerse from the quarters which Gov. Yates oc-
cupied during his late visit to the city.
There did all the choice spirits of the Crawford
faction congregate-ihoIe did they drop in by
ore, with the most accidental elaboration in the
world to sec the governor, and give him the news
and thence did they as regularly depart, with faces
as blank as holiday cartridges md with Struggling
OF the shoulders, ominous and expressive. Finding
conceancnt no longer practicable, they now admit
that the governor has resolved convene the lenis-
iature but they amuse themselves with breathing
that they" will not when he does call for
isiem But let them not "lay that lattcring junction.
TO their souls'-,bey will come; they will pass
law to restore the choice of electors the people
and they will thus vindicate the dropping honor of
the state, and the integrity Of republican principles

done being mere matter of form. All the bills
which passed the two Houses of Congress were
approved by the President, and have become
laws. AS the passage of every bill, in each
House, has been SO distinctly marked, that any
one interested has been able to ascertain whe-

not at present attempt to make up list of the

On Horned Cattle and Sheep.
The committee on horned cattle, after
having examined the animals exhibited

To Joseph Hackney, for the best bull
over year old, S..
To David Ridgeway, for the next best,
81 so.
To the same, for the best bull under
year old, S..
To John Mackey, for the best steer over
1 year old, S..
To John Chrisman, for the next best

To t. b. Campbell, for the best mich
COW, IS.
To r. X. Meade, for the best yoke of
oxen, $40.
To the same, for the best ram, S. no
other ram coming in competition.
Your committee were generally pleased
with the animals exhibited, and were par
ticularly gratifed with the novelty of the
appearance of the Teeswater cattle, owned
by Mr.. Jacob III offman, of Berkeley: and
although they are themselves entirely IN
acquainted with that breed, from what
they have heard of it, they wonld recon-
mend an extension of the breed, as valua-
BILE for the dairy.

On Manufactures.

y
The committee on manufactures, have
performed the duties assigned to them, and
submit the following report.-The vari-
Gus specimens of American industry, sub
mitted to their inspection, deserve, gene
rally, the highest commendation To dis
criminate among competitors, where all
were meritorious, was matter Of peculiar
delicacy and difficulty A discrimination
was, however, imperiously necessary, and
the committee have accordingly awarded
the following premiums.
For the best ten yards Of wollen cloth 81
wide, a premium of S. is awarded to VIM.
Smith, of Shenandoah.
For the best 10 yards of Ga cloth, a
premium of s. is awarded to Holmes and
Ward, of Frederick.
For the best 20 yards of carpeting, a
premium Of $40 is awarded to Nicholas
kerns, of Kernstown.
For the best bonnet of straw OF grass.
a premium of So is awarded to Miss Eli
zabeth Heterck. The taste displayed by
Miss H. in the manufacture of this beauti-
full article, which the committee has reason
to believe is exclusively her own inven-
ton, entities her to the highest commen-
dation. ii
For the best % pounds of butter, dSsre-
MUM of 81 is awarded to Mrs. LUCY
Gilkeson.
For the best hearth rug, premium OF
So is awarded to Miss Royston, an inmate
III the family of VIM. B. Page, esq. 4
In relation to the premium for the bsk
20 yards Of blanketing, the committee wd
at a loss to decide; inasmuch as the piece
exhibited contained only II Ia yards
! As, however, ii was full yards in width.
and of very superior quality, the commit
tee recommend that the premium of IS be
awarded to Holmes and Ward, of Ere
derrick.
For the best o yards of flannel, a pre-
MUM of So so is awarded to Mrs. Ly,
r. Robson. In the manufacture of
valuable and beautiful article, Mr.. Il go
displayed her usual industry and judg-
mpnt.
For the best 10 yards OF linen, "a pre-
MUM Of 81 30 is awarded to WIN. S.
Jones, ESQ.
- For the best 10 yards Of table diaper,
"a premium of So 50 is awarded to the
same gentleman. These articles were man
uiaciured under the exclusive supernten-
Intendence Of Miss Francis Buckner, and
entitle her to the highest commendation.
The latter article, particularly, has per-
maps seldom been surpassed in whiteness
or elegance of figure by any foreign fabric
Ct similar description.
