CLOSE OF THE STATE FAIR-GRAsD Row
BETWEEN THE CoMMITTEEs.-The State Fair
has ended, and the crowd has departed. Aide.
clare it the greatest ever held The receipts ex.
ceeded those Of any previous fair by about three
thousand dollars. The receipts Of admission 10
the fair grounds have realized $4,000. The
premiums have only amounted TO $4,000. The
ex-coInmittee wish TO fund the remainder, and
are unwilling to pay even their own expenses.
There has been terrible row between the city
committee and the ex.committee, or the Albany
Junta," a. the Rochester people call them. The
city committee, in consideration Of holding the
fair here, engaged TO pay FIVE thousand dollars
towards the expenses Of fitting up the grounds
but an expense of two THOUSAND dollars has been
incurred for invited guests, &c, which the city
committee did not agree 20 pay, but which the
executive, or State committee, insist they shall
pay. The city committee, however have the
whip hand, for they have all the funds received
at the fair in their possession, and will pay all
the bills before they part with them.
II certainly seems rather mean that the com.
miitee, after receiving fourteen thousand dollars,
dispute about paying the two thousand dollars
expenses incurred by themselves.
One Of the most curious phases presented by
the fair, and which we have omitted TO men,
ton, is the eager curiosity Of the people 10 wit

We have seen a letter from a gentleman of
responsibility, which confirms, in the most am
pie manner, the accounts of the mutilation OF
the remains of the fifty men who were executed
at Havana. We shall probably publish the let
ter at length. II states also, that after the bat
ties which occurred between the invaders and
Spanards, the latter bsyoneted their wounded
foes when in their power.
These facts are decisive Of the character of
Spanish rule. II the execution OF the party of
fifty has excited, even in Europe, one universal
emotion Of horror and disgust, what is the SEN
timent that must be pronounced on the deseera.
ton Of their remains. We observe it stated,
that General CoEcHA declared he would liber-
ate the remaining prisoners but for the outrsges
on the Spaniards at New Orleans. We don't
believe word Of it. On the contrary, we be-
lieve the demonstrations of excitement at New
Orleans, New York, and other places, when the
news Of the fate of the fifty arrived, saved the
lives of all prisoners afterwards taken. And
we don't envy the feelings or the disposition of
the editors in this country who joined in ascrib-
ing piracy, robbery, and murder to the invaders,
and gave countenance and color to the more
than Indian barbarity that was adopted towards
our fellow countrymen. As for the American
consul, we have deferred expressing our opinion
until now-for we thought him an amiable and
estimable gentleman. But the circular We pub
lish to-day. and the verdict of the prisoners, are
decisive. His case is beyond the reach of a
defence.

Sill. the hope that my imperfect remarks
will not be altoge ther improbable, has
induced me to take up my pen on this
subject
Let me call upon ms young friends
without distinction of sex, 20 reflect on
that position which they will soon oc-
cupy in society. All that we see around
us. will soon belong to the youth of our
land. Our farms. our manufactures, our
commerce, our internal Improvements,
our institutions Of learning, our laws, our
Offices, our religious operations, and in
short every thing that characterizes MS as
nation; all these will soon pass into
their hands. Certainly then, the posi-
ton of our youth, is not only an impor-
tant. but a responsible one. On that
course of conduct which they pursue,
momentuous consequences are pending.
The happiness of parents and friends,
their own welfare, the welfare of commu-
mites around them, and the general vel
fare of our country, all these matters are
here involved. All these blessings a
bove mentioned, will be realized In oul
future history. if the youth pursue prop,
er course of conduct. All these blessings
will he lost if they pursue a contrary
course of conduct.
1t is unnecessary to show that the ris
ing generation in our midst have an IN
tercst in this matter. You, my young
friends every one of you. have part tc
act; and too escape responsibility is i'm
possible. You have minds to improve
characters to form, an influence to exert
and duties to discharge. We hope tha
none are regardless of their responsible
ties. We hope that none of you vii
say, care not what my influence is
