CIRCULAR.
STATE FAIR FOR THE FARMERS OF
VERMONT.

The undersigned have seen, for several
years past, the necessity nf a state arganiza-
ton for the benefit Of the Agricultural inter
eata OF Vermont, and have witnessed with re-
greet, the apparent Indifference OF those whose
duty Il II Ia establish such an institution. The
State Society formed few years since, in
stead uf being fOsterod and sustained a. il
should have been, was suffered 20 die amer a
brief existence. Wishing 10 revive State
organization, and believing that no State in
the Union can eclipsc Vermont, ia an exhi-
bition OF cattle, sheep, horses and productions
Of the soil, We have deemed il proper 10 call
the attention Of those interested in tbs mat
ter To the Importance Of securing the object
above mentioned. We believe that IL NAV
be- easily accomplished by proper effort on the
part Of individuals, and that the establish
ment Of an organization can be effected,
which will soon become n matter OF State
pride and support.
We, therefore, respectfully invite the sheep,
hnrse and cattle traders of Vermont, 10 meet
NJ StIddtobury 0nthc 10th and tith days uf
September next, and 10 bring with them their
l'est Experiments OF domestic animals OF all
kinds. ~ this meeting those engaged in these
pursuits, ~ important 60 the wealth aud rep
utAtion OF the State, can become acquainted
with each other and each others stock they
can Interchange opinions and information IN
relation % the best modes Of breeding; can
make Saie#nt specimens cd their animals and
can lay the foundation oi'a State organization
On firm basis. Arrangements viii be made
with the Railroads TO carry the cattle, &C.
free Of charge, and the person attending the
Fair halt price. A show ground with the nee
essary enclosures, will be provided, free OF
expense 10 those furnishing animals for exhi.
bition. IL is proposed that tho Fair shall
continue Two days, and that the afternoon
of the second day shall be devoted 10 sales.
The public are assured that they will see
At this Fair the best specimen Of the French
Mcrino Sheep, (many Of them recent import
ationS,) and all other kinds of Sheep-th,

CENTRAL. AAIERIcA-IMPoRTAN Moo
TIATIoNs--A NEW REPUBLIC Washing
ton, June ga Federal Government has
been agreed upon between the States Of Me
aragua, San Salvador and Honduras, and
they are seeking to establish relations with
this Government
Many Of the difficulties and dangers in
which those States are and have been involy-
ed, have arisen out of the indebtedness to
foreign States. For this reason il is desira-
bile that England and France should recog-
nize and encourage the new order of things,
but the word "Protectorate" was mistak enly
used in my last despatch.
The Monroe doctrine wiIl be rigidly main
tanned by the United States but this Gov
eminent, in the alliance asked by those States
will scarcely guaranty armed Intervention
against European powers, in cases of money
disputes like those pending.
The negotiations proceed pronisingiy thus
far on an sides.
My former despatch was correct with ref
eEeRee TO Hayti----A l. Tribune.

THE MANUFACTURING INTEREST,

Il has ever been the aim of the Wing par
~ TO secure adequate protection TO our domes-
tic manufactures, and thereby increase the
resources and prosperity Of the country, and
render Il independent Of the support of for
eigTr powers. The present depressed state
of our manufacturers, renders il more imper-
lative than sFar before, that the Wing Press
throughout the country should rally around
the banner of PRoTEcrIoN, and fight the
good fight for the extension aud improvement
of domestic industry. Is not the laborer wor-
thy of his hire VIII not the Tariff Of 1874 6
whose anthor ia now al che bead Of a Free
Trade League, holding reasonable cor
respondeuce with the enemies of our
national prosperity judging from the
past, be death blow 10 our future prospects,
Has is not acted a. a slow poison rather than
a rcstorer 10 health The depression exist
ing in almost every branch of business can b,
traced to the door OF the projectors of tn,
present Tariff, and truly they have much Il
answer for.
The following named Corporations hav,
ascertNincd the losses during tho past season
b. be the sums put against their rcspeetiv,
nauSGs, and We Gait the attrutiuuof uur rrzrf
ers to the fact that six mills only of the many
now in operation throughout the CO. ntry hav,
lost or sunk over $4,000.

cent ell0rts 10 execute tha law for the return
Of fugitive slaves. slavery, in any form. n
repugnant 10 your feelings and education,
and the fugitive naturally and inevitably ex-
cites your deepest aYmpathies. Nothing but
a stern senar OF duty, founded upon ration
al, solemn conviction, that a constitutional
and legal obligation must be oboyed, nj any
and every sacrifice, could have insured the
execution Of the law in a case like this. But,
for myself ] never doubted that the law
would ultimately triumph, Good faith IL the
foundation Of all morality and sociAl security,
The FREQ States had pledged themselves by
the Constitution Ia the performance OF this
duty. The slave States had a right 10 insist
and did insist upon its performance, There
was, then, no alternative but % break our
faith, forfeit our word Of honor, and thereby
trample the Consdtution Of our country IN

or else 10 admit the obligation IKE honest, tru,
