Tess does no credit to Mr.. Alexander, for
whose benefit it was written; and no hon.
orable man would wish to see his name to
such a letter, e~lectioneering for the sue
cess of a Judge! But what wings do is
one thing, and what democrats think is
another. Did we believe that Penning-
tons letter was authorised, we should set
Mr.. A. down not as a boiler. but a wing
out and out. But we believe no such
thing-we have too much confidence in
the democrats Of Belmont county, to be-.
lieve that they would sanction any such
doctrines.
''Let all. these things, however, be as
they may, and in some OF them VI may
be in error. from our distance off. but Of
one thing we beg Of our friends all round

If Mr.. Pennington told US the truth, the
Statesman will have to set Mr.. Alexander
down as "a wing out and out" according
to promise. The Statesman further says
'.that hard words will moi heal the wounds
or settle the difficulties" That's true.
But the course of the wings. in writing
such letters as that of Pennington's has
impelled us to say what we have. If Mr..
Alexander is willing to occupy the position
that that letter places him in, so be it.
The Democracy of the district will here
after know where to find him.

insults on the part of few political noun.

but who is the political mountebank? The
democrat with wing principles, according
to Mr.. Pennington or we who tell them
of it!

AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The late Agricultural Fair. in this
ty, exceeded the expectations of its most
%sanguine friends, and warrants us in be-
lieving that our subsequent Fairs will be
but little behind the Fairs of our older sis
ter counties. Indeed we have been in
formed by those who have attended other
Fairs, that our exhibition Of stock, was in
many respects, equal to, if not superior,
10 the stock exhibited in the %neighboring
counties.
The number of entries OF Cattle was II;
and many Of them, in fact almost all Of
them, were very superior stock. The
majority exhibited were Of the Durham
breed.
The number of entries of Sheep was
l6, comprising 48 head. They were Of
the middle. wooded, Nlerino, Saxon and
Leicester breeds. Many of them very
fine wooded sheep. Wool growing is just
beginning to engage the attention Of our
farming community.
The number Of Hogs entered was 49,.
These also were of superior breeds. EN-.
bracing the Sussex, Bedford. Berkshire.
Russia and China breeds. The stock Of
young hogs was very creditable.
The exhibition OF Horses excited the
most attention among the vast crowd OF
people in attendance. The number en-.
tered including colts, was 40; and it was
generally remarked that they were Of very
excellent stock.
The entries of other articles was very
fair and exhibited a determination on the
part Of our citizens to be up with the spirit
Of the age in which we live.
The Ladies' Department, embracing as
it did nearly all the entries under the head
of Domestic Manufactures, was deserving
Of much praise. The number of articles
entered was about 40, and exhibited much
taste and skill.
Taking all things together We believe
those in attendance were well pleased with
our first attempt at holding an Agricultu-
raj Fair. Some, perhaps, may have been
dissatisfied with the awards Of the Com.
mittees. This is to be expected, and es-
pecially when but little time is allotted to
the committees in which to form a judg-
ment. However, we believe as general
satisfaction was rendered as is usual un-
der such circumstances. Those who did
not obtain premiums must not weary in
well-doing, but try again. Perhaps al
another time, by paying more attention to
the Improvement of their stock they may
be more successful.
