PASSAGE OF THE WILMoT PRovlso.-
The Oregon Bill has passed the House O
Representatives, containingth the Wilmot Pro
viso, or rather the Jefferson proviso, pro.
hibting the introduction of Slavery into
the Territory. This section, which ex,
tends the ordinance of 1857 over the Oregon
territory, is in the following words:
''That the inhabitants of said Territory
shall be entitled to enjoy and singular the
rights, privileges and immuniies granted
and secured TO the people of the territory
Of the United States northwest of1the river
Ohio, by the articles of compact contained
in the ordinance for the government of said
territory, on the thirteenth day of July,
seventeen hundred and eighty seven and
shall be subject to all the conditions and
restrictions, and prohibitions in said articles
of compact imposed upon the people of said
territory, and"
The committee Of the whole, had strick-
en- out this section, but the House refused
to concur in the striking it out of the
bill, by the following vote-yeas SS-nays
ia.
The bill was then ordered to be engross-
ed, and being engrossed, was read third
time, and under the operation of the previous
question, was passed by yeas and nays
yeas 1919, nays II.
Mr.. Wentworth moved to reconsider the
last vote, which motion to reconsider was
laid on the table.
1t is fortunate for the South that the
Senate is sound on this important question:

THE SIERRE MADRE HUMBUG.-We are
happy to see that in the debate in the House
of Representatives, on Thursday when The
rumored design to create further dismem-
berment of the Republic of Mexico was re-
ferred to, Mr.. Richardson took occasion to
repel an accusation made against General
Shields of having participation in the de-
sign, and stated that the President had as
lion the subject, but that all such measures
would be resisted by him.

STATE CATTLE SHOW AND FAIR. W.
concur with the Baltimore Sun in saying
that it is gratifying to observe the earnes
movements now making in Maryland to ele-
vate agriculture, in the minds of all, to tina,
high position which rational intelligence
demonstrates is its desert. To much grea-
ter extent more north has this desirable aim
been attained than here, and no means have
contributed more largely to its accomplish
ment than those now proposed in Maryland
for the same purpose. Agriculture being
the only true source of wealth, and an
ennobling independent profession withal
should at least meet with due appreciation
in republic. 1t has already been announc-
ed that the Maryland Institute, for the pro-
motion of the Mechanic Arts, intend holding
their first exhibition in this city, commencing
on the 31st of October, 1913, to continue for
three weeks, and that Cattle Show and
Fair, in connection Herewith, will take
place on Wednesday the 9th of N November,
and continue two days The Board of Ma
nagers have adopted resolution, inviting
the farmers, planters and hor,cuIturists Of
Maryland and the adjoining States to CO.
operate with them in the agricultural portion
of the exhibition. This, the American Far
mer states, as far as its information extends,
is warmly seconded by those to whom The
appeal has been made.
The Farmer also, for the present month,
contains call from JOHN GLENN Esq, Pre-
sident of the Maryland Farmers Club for a
meeting of that bodyin Baltimore, on the 9Th
Of September, to unite with delegates from the
several clubs and associations of the State,
in making the necessary arrangements for
the proposed Cattle Show and Fair. The
meeting will be held in the hall of the Ma
rvland Institute, the use of which has been
rendered by the board Of managers for the
purpose.
Alelter from CHARLES B. CALVERT, ESQ
one of the most prominent members of the
Prince Georges Agricultural Society, makes
the following proposition in reference to
sending delegates generally to this prelini-
nary convention:
sin those counties where agricultural So
cleles at present exist, delegates might be
appointed by the executive committees or
officers Of the societies, and in those coun-
lies where no societies have been as vet
formed, the delegates might be appointed by
public meeting, held at the county town,
as it is desirable to have every county rep
resented. This State Convention could, if
it is deemed expedient, call National Con-
vention, to be held about the time of the
exhibition, for a general discussion of all
matters appersaining to the great interest by
which the world is supported, and it is there
fore hoped that no county, district, or city
in The State feels so little inleres, in the mat
Ter as TO neglect to send representative to
the Convention"
