PoUGHK EEPsIE, Sept. 20th 1S44.
 The Fair and Cattle Show of the Empire State for 1s44 is over. When I say that it has been a magnificent exhibition of the ingenuity, Taste and Enterprise of the Farmers and Manufacturers of the State, express tke universal sentiment of the mighty throng who were so fortunate as to witness it. Every thing, far as can learn, went off to universal satisfaction. l never saw a crowd so perfectly orderly, and in such excellent spirits
 At 3 o'clock P. M. yesterday, four or five thou- sand people assembled under the great Tent to hear an Address by George Bancroft, and the annuncia- ton ofthe prizes by the various Committees. MT. Bancroft read his address, occupying about three quarters of an hour shall not send you report. for with the present demands upon your columns you would not care to publish it if did. It was elegantly written production, and in some pass ages eloquent, but 1t was not sufficiently practical for the audience and the occasion. While he was speaking Mir. Van Buren made his appearance and was received with considerable applause At the close of the address, there were calls for speech from Mir. V. B. but he shook his head, and the President, Mir. Beekman assured the audience that the order of proceedings pfeuded the qualification of their wishes. The various Committees then made their reports and announced the premiums.
 It.was sundown when the Fair ended with the close of the proceedings in the Tent, and the peo- pie rushed eagerly homewdrd, delighted with what their eyes had seen of this great exhibition of the productions of Nature and Art, and determined, it is to be hoped, to do much within the coming year to dignify Labor and advance the great interests of Agriculture and Manufactures

 The minority, on the other hand, would like to have Texas even if she came with dishonor, sciM scar, scithom the common consent of the Union, and upon terms the most unjust and unfair.
 As to the probable effect upon slavery, MT. Clay differs in opinion from many of the northern whigs. They oppose the project for the reasons to which HE refers and for oiheas satisfactory to their own minds. It is enough for them that MT. c. is op- posed to the project until the common consent of the Union" can be obtained.-StGndGrd.
