The Vermont Fair, last week, a
Middlebury, was visited by ten thou
sand people. Vermont, so famou:
for fine breed OF horses, represented
al this show more really beautiiu
and valuable animals than had ever
been collected together al any one
show in the United States. Among
them was Black HatOk, exceedingly
famous in the annals of Addison
County horsehood.) and sixty Of his
colts; the Green Mountain Morgan,
a celebrated animal of that race,
with large number of his decen-
dants, whose many and good quail
ties it would be tedious to repeat.
The partisans Of the Black Hawk
and the Morgan race were vociferous
in the praises of their respective
horses.
There was some trotting day after
day, and in the commencement OF
the race the Black Hawk mare took
the lead, and gained five or six rods
in short time; but after the first
few moments the Morgon began to
gain, and soon passed the Black
Hawk. and kept ahead during the
remainder of the course, coming out
at the end several lengths in ad-
vance.
The Brattleborough Eagle says:
"Tbe triumphant shouts of the
Morgan partizans rent the air, and
some Of the more enthusiastic o.
them made asses Of themselves by
detaching the horse from the gig
putting themselves into the shafts
and drawing the successful driver
around the course"
A Vermont Morgan colt sold for
$500 10 a Virginia gentleman
The Eagle says:
"The show Of sheep was equally
prniseworthy, and fully up to the
reputation of Vermont as a wool
growing State. From two hundred
10 a thousand dollars apiece was the
price asked for some of the best
sheep. Whether any one had the
wool pulled over his eyes so much
as TO give the latter price for any we
did not learn"
The display Of neat cattle was not
as large as Of horses and sheep, still
there was a great number of these
present, both native and imported.
The Hereford, Ayrshire and Devons
were the most numerous Of the for
eigners; the Devens particularly
were in great force; and in our
judgment looked better than any
other breed that was to be seen,"

Men of thought, with iron nerve,
Fronting error, take your stand;
Never from your purpose swerve,
Till it cease from out the land;
Long and dread the strife may be-
Ye vet shall have the mastery.
Wisdom's garb though it assume,
Tear the flimsy veil aside;
Let the light of truth illume
FaIsehood's kingdom far and wide
Though around you darkness clings,
The dawn is nigh of better things.
Ignorance--the sleep of mind
Holds it in fatal trance,
To you bright creation blind
Waiting now its op'ning glance
Be it yours the spell to break;
The souls of men shall then awake.
When before that mighty host
Errors dark dominion falls,

Who the body disenthrals.
The tyrant's chain he breaks-but ye
Boldly bid the soul be free.

The Cuban CreOIes.

The New Orleans Crescent publishes
extracts from a letter of its Havana cor.
respondent, stating that Crittenden and
his party, enfeebled by hunger, had
thrown away their arms, and made nc
defence. Respecting the character ol
the Cuban Creoles, the Crescent says:
sour correspondent writes, that he
frankly confesses himself deceived by
the swelling communications of gascon-
aiding Cuban Creoles, and sets them
down, in the bitterest terms, as false,
treacherous, lying and totally unworthy
of freedom. Even at last dates (prior
to :he capture of lopez he begs that,
for Heavens sake, the lives of no more
gallant Americans may be periled for so
selfish and unmanly race.
"The world will re-echo similar de-
nunciations, and make the namc of the
Cuban Creoles a synonym of scorn.
They did not even give bread to Lopez
and his gallant host, who came to free
them; and if they really held out in
ducements for them to come, there is no
page in history darker with obloquy,
treachery and shame, than that on which
their falsehood shall be recorded"

They are making quite fuss in
Philadelphia over the remains Of
Stephen GirarG. The body was first
inferred in the Catholic burying
ground, whence it has been removed
by the city authorities with the de-
sign OF enclosing it in a sarcophagus
and placing it in the Girard College,
by his statue. An injunction has
been served on the city authorities to
prevent this disposal Of the remains.
The decision Of the court is deferred
TO give all interested an opportunity
TO effect an amicabIe arrangement.

"GoV. Seward concluded his argu'
ment in the Michigan Railroad Con.
spiracy case on Monday afternoon,
and was followed by Mr.. Van Dyke
The argument of Gov. Seward was
,0ritten ont, and is understood to be
already in the handsof the printer" ."
Gov. Seward is one OF the most
laborious, pains-taking lawyers in the
country. He never speaks upon
any subject without very careful
preliminary preparations, extending
not only to the line of argument to
be followed and the points to be
made, but TO the language used, and
the particular form to be given 10
every statement. This practice, we
apprehend, is not very common with
American lawyers. The great body
Of them, in the first place, do not ex-
pend any great amount of study
upon any part Of their cases, except
the facts involved, and many of the
hardest students expenG their labor
upon the thoughts, rather than the
words of their arguments. .re.
Rufus Choate, the great Massachu-
sets lawyer, is one Of the remarka-
BILE exceptions. 1t is said that he
never makes a speech of any kind
without having first written it out
and committed it to memory. His
legal arguments are subjected TO the
same laborious preparation. The
same thing is said to be true Of Ed
ward Everett. All his orations bear
marks Of the most careful finish, espe-
cially in language and the formation
Of their sentences. Both these gen.
tlemen are gifted with an extraordi-
nary power OF memory. 1t is said
that Mr.. Everett will read over a
long address twice, and then repeat
it very nearly. Uerbatim. Mr.. Cal
houn prepared all his speeches with
a wonderful degree of labor, and
seldom said anything in the Senate
Chamber, which he had not first
carefully considered and shaped 10
bis study. Mr.. Webster generally
speaks from full notes, in which the
skeleton of the speech. is carefully
developed and all statistical state
ments, quotations, &c, distinctly set
down. He generally relies upon
the moment for language and con-
struction OF sentences; but occasion
ally, when he desires to make e pass
age especially strong and impressive,
it is written out at full length.
1t is very common TO look upon
all this preliminary preparation for
a speech, as a drawback upon the
ability and credit OF the orator, but
it really enhances both. There are
very few men in the world, who can
make a good speech, without any
previous thought or preparation
whatever. They may say smart
things, and put them together in a
pleasant way, but if the subject is
one of any importance. they cannot
greatly enlighten or instruct an audi
ence without thinking about, it. and
studying If themselves. This pre-
lininary study is really compliment
to the audience. and should be so re-
garded.-N Y. Times.

Last Thursday morning, we made a
flying visit to Hartford, spending some
six hours in the city, and returning the
same day. This. BY the way, is quite an
improvement upon the mode Of travel

day in reaching the semi>capital. -
One can bear "staging' to and from
Bristol with comparative comfort; and
the change from the stage to the cars,
and vice versa, is by no means disagree.
able. On the day alluded to, Thursday, }
the cars were crowded to excess - so
much so, that comparatively few Of the
number could obtain seats. Extra cars
we're added at Plainvil!e and at New
Britain, but the crowd increased in pro-
portion. Indeed, the entire population
| in the neighborhood Of Hartford seemed
TO be enjoying general holiday. The
doubt as TO who would be Governor, at
tracted an immense throng to the city,
from every direction, and all appeared to
be in excellent spirits. rhe result Of the
ballotipgs for Speaker and Clerks, on
the preceding day. had prepared the
wings for the worst, while the democra-
cy were thereby led to anticipate an @n-
divided victory.
At 10 o'clock, the two Houses pet in
Convention and proceeded to ballot for
State officers. The state of the vote
for each will be found in another column.
1t was previously understood that if Mr..
Foster should be elected, the Courant
Office flag would be hoisted; and if Mr..
Seymour was the successful man, like

In about half an hour, the Times flag
was run up, and placard hung out de.

This made the democrats feel good-but
when, soon after, the facts in the case
were made known, the wings felt almost
as happy as their opponents, for the re-
suit was better than they had feared.
The military parade was fine, the day
pleasant, and everything went off well
