Still UtcaiYiAg:

The Wing is still attempting to exhone.
rate his, accideney, President Fillmore
from'all blame for having made the Fugitive
Slave bill a law. For this purpose he says
that She was obliged to put his name to il
i" his official capacity" Now, when the
Wing asserts that the President was cob
liged' to sign that bill, he attempts to de.
ceive his readers, and thereby shows him
self a knaue, and when he he expects to be
able to succeed in such deception, he show
himself to be consummate ass. "Obliged'
to sign it! If the bill did not meet bis ap.
proral. liking, jastif feation, the constitu.
ton, which he is sworn to support, Soblig-
ed" him to reto it ain bis official capacity
The second clause Of Section 7, Article !.
of the consultation declares, that rs- s.l
aEvery bill which shall have passed the
house of representatives and the senate,
shall, before it become law, be presented
to the President Of the United States; If he
APPROVE, he shall sign it. but If NOT, he
shall return it, aoih his objections, to that
house in which it shall have originated" }"
&c. Il. ~.-. 49, ..l sas p. e- zv
The President is sworn to observe this,
as well as other provisions Of the constitu-
ton. And yet the sage man Of the Wing
says he was @obliged to put his name to it
in his official capacity" notwithstanding
he regarded the bill as the abomination of
denominations, as an Infringement upon the
constitution, and as violation Of the rights
Of humanity And why, forsooth? Be-
cause one Of the leading Wing principles
is Opposition to the veto power" So, the
Wig would make the President be gov
erned by the dogmas of his party rather
than the constitution which he is sworn to
support! He would have him violate his
official oath, his conscience, and the rights
of man that he may keep in the .whig line
and observe Wing principles! : .. 80. -..,
All the Togo that the Wing raises about
this being slocofoco" law, and about Gen.
Cass' votes in reference to some questions
which were raised during its consideration,
and its parade Of mutlated votes, are. but
for diverting public attention from the fac.
hat the President whom the Wings elected
Is Northern anti-slavery man, gave his
'anction to this bill, by which means it be-
;ame law, when it was within his power,
md was bis duty, if it did not meet his ap-

The State Fair At Cincinnati

The Cincinnati papers give the mos.
glowing accounts Of ,bs splsndor and the
general success which characterized the
Fair. The following extract from the
Cincinnati Atlas gives some idea. Of the
numbers which were present:--r s.5a raas
The second day Of the Great State
Fair was most propiiious in every respect,
for the progress Of the exhibition, and the
Accomplishment of the great purposes con.
neeted with il. The weather was clsuY
and beautifnl-the articles on exhibition
were far more numerous ihan on Tire pre-
ceding day-and the number in attendance
at the Fair Ground was immense. On all
the streets of the city leading to and from
the Brighton House, and from the Brighton
House to Comp, ashington,a there was
one continual stream of vehicles Of oil
kinds, loaded with passengers to or from
the Fair. All the Canal Boats and Pack
cts that could be found were very soon
pressed into the service, md carried thou
sands to and from the point Of general at.
traction. The fnrmsrs and citizens from
the interior Of the State, and from Indiana
came in m opposite direction md helped
to swell this grand mass Of human fesh.-
Within the enclosure there must have been
at one time in the afternoon, rs m.ny ss
5000 or 30, 900 people and the number
that visited the grounds during the dry is

A Whfg Legislature--How Elected

NotWltnSIanuln6 lne democrats have
elected their State ticket, the Governor
and Canal Commissioner, by majorities
ranging from eight 10 t,velrs thousand,
showing the strongest popular vote ever
given in the State for Democratic men
and measures; yet the Wings have sue
ceeded in carrying the Legislature. ia s7rz
How is thisl How comes 1t that the
people have SO emphatic,lly md by so
large majority declared for one set of
measures, and a Legislature is elected the
reverse Of what they wanted? How is il
that in matters Of legislation the minority
thus rules the majority? We answer. u.
In the first place, the Wings nppor,ion.
ed the State, gerrymandering it in such a
rascally manner ,ha. with the popular vote

ry the Legislature They have put coun.
ties together in such way as 10 make the
most Of the Wing vote, and swallow up
and throw away the Democratic VOTE
For instance, they put Wayne and Ash.
land, two strong Democratic counties, to-
gether, and make them elect Senator
with 1000 votes to spare. But Trumbull
which is slightly Democratic, they put with
Geauga, strongly Wing, or was at
the time Of apportionment, which makes
the District always safe for two or three
Wing members. =.
Again, Erie county, Democratic, is not
allowed to elect either Senator or Repre-.
sentative alone, but must be coupled with
Huron, Whig, which rs a natter Of course
gives them two members Of the Legisla.

They even went so for in this Whig ap.
portionment as to split the county of Ham.
ilton in two, in order to geta Whig Sena-
tor and two Wing Representatives out OF
that Democratic Gibralter Of the Stats. 49,
But this splitting county was found to be
sore business, and raher than to have their
whole. gerrymnndering Law sepudiated,
the Wings themselves voted to exempt old
Hamilton from It's provisions. s.ess 10 s:z
With this advantage in the .appoHion,
nent they went into the contest ibis fall,
and what have they done? With their old
allies, the Banks, they have pitched into
the doubtful Districts only and carried them
in every instance, the rascally Banks and
this rascally apportionment, working to-
gether for our defeat. In ibis way and by
this means we are beaten in tho Legisla.
ture, and will be mis- represented by it,
Its legislation will be dictated by the mi.
.nority and not the majority, and the people
have got thus to suffer until fair sappor-
tionment is made. 10
