~old's Mogadore letter would seem to have

Mr.. 6. in his True Democrat letter, says
If was written for no such purpose, and
thai ii contains no pledges! Mr., G. prob
ably has some way to explain these dis
crepancies.
The Free Democracy need no warning
from Us, for they are IN no danger of be-

We hope fhe time is not distant when

Ohio State Fair.

This great affair passed off very finely
Mt Cleveland last week. 1t is estimated
that 10000 persons were in nttendance.-
Tbs True Democrat says, all concur in
the statement that in point Of numbers,
and exten, and variety of Agricultural and
Ar.islical display, it has had no rival.
But our stale Fair has very forcibly l.
lustraiej another fact,-that our Agricul-
ture, Mechanics-all branches indeed Of
industry-are eminently progressiye.-
Never was the conviction OF this truth SO
forcibly impressed upon our mind as we
sure in contemplation Of the picture which
was spread out as map before US! There
was grand sublimi:y in the spectacle.-
The world in miniature was around us!-.
And what living picture it was of pro-
gress in all the practical and useful occu-
paiions Of man! Such conyocations must
do good, and they do good in the right d.
rection. They add interest and dignity to
the highest occupations of man. stRhut

Lady tnat appreciates the beautiful in all
those artistic accomplishments that con-
tribute SO largely 10 our comfort and hap
piuess as people,le our great Stnte Fair
without cherishing still higher respect
for the laboring occupations Of man! We
feel no hesitation in saying none. Then
the moral effects Of such associations must
be immense. This should be cause Of
rejoicing. Thanks 10 the good sease and
rational education ofthe age for the highly
honorable position Of manual labor among
the varied callings and occupations Of life.

Hon. EElrana Griswoid.


We insert this week Mr.. Griswold's
Mngadore letter, and also insert his ex-
plnnatory letter TO othe True Democrat
We feel no personal unkindness towards
Mr.. Griswold. and wish him no i'll. His
Mogndore letter has pu, him in position
sufficiently mor,ifying and embarrassing.
without adding to his unhappiness. by the
pointed remarks which the occasion would
justify.
We will not even enquire who surrep.
tiiiously appended tfe postscript to the
Mogadore letter. Both secretaries assert
that there was no such postscript appended
10 the original le.ter. But we are willing
Mr.. G. should have the full benefit Of the
Postscript Mr.. Griswould is very
amiable. gentlemanly man. possessed of
fair abilities, and is ambitious to distinguish
himself as o public man. He has long
been anxious 10 obtain a seat in Congress
| This is a laudable ambition, and one which
may be honorably pursued. Mr.. Gris-
void. unfortunately has been kept back.
while many less deserving men have sue
ceeded. We do no, thiEk Mr.. Griswold
the victim of a depraved heart, or of per-
sonal political corruption, but rather VIC
lin TO the bad position of his slavery taint-
ed and slavery influenced party. Mr.. G. IS
impulses are right, and far above the po,
81 ion Of his farty-so that while he would
do good. evil is present with him. Thus
thousands of we'll meaning men, arden,
paritsans, are. unfortunately, thrown by
their position, inro antagonism wi h their
j professions and their inconsistencies pro.
yoke on the part of many, the suspicion ol
corruption.
We do not think Mr. Griswold was tc
blame for his attempt on the Mogadore
/ Convention. 1t was quite in the natural
course of things. He had seen the Free.
soilers unite with ihe Wings in sending
John Crowell TO Congress, and be knew
that he. himself, was an abler and better
man. He had seen that Flee-soilers had
profiied nothing by the Crowell experiment
and had again united with The Wings 1T
sending Mr.. Newton TO Congress, ard he
knew, that he, at least, was as as able anG
worthy, and deserving as Mr.. Newton
And though Mr.. Newton, after the Free
sollers could contribute no farther 10 hi'

been met, bya very cordial greeting. And in
reply to that, spoke as follows =

,AENERAL pERoEs GALLANrRY."

We find the following remarkable statement
copied in the Baltimore Patriot, and Baltimore
American, from the Old Defender, paper re-
Gently started in that city, in which it is headed
as above.
Mr.. Editor:-Having heard il reported in
Baltimore that personal indgnity Of the gross
iest character was inflicted upon General Frank
tin Pierce, ever '.gane Of cards" in the city
Of Mexico, after lis capture by our troops,
which insult was never rsssntsSd en- IS write this TO
inquire ahether you have any Information stsaA
tho subsct, SSes II so, 20 ask the favor of you
10 explain The nature of the indignity, and The
authority from which the report has originated.
Baltimore, Sept. Sd, 1852. J,R.B,
We have no hesitation in answering the in
qury Of our correspondent. For the last two
weeks, the report to which he alludes has been
current in our city. We have taken some pains
TO inform ourselves of its TRUTH and have not
the slightest doubt Of the eorreotness Of the an
swer. which we now give TO the query;
A5-"On the night before Gen. Pierce left the
city Of Mexico, his face was slapped by bro
ther officer, at game Of cards, played in place
ior public resort, which Insult was not resented
by him.
The authority for This statement is Cap
tain in the United States Army, Of the highest
personal character, who served with distinction
in the battle near the city Of Mexico-who up
to this time has ever been decided Democrat
-and whose brother and father now hold dis
tinguished positions in the Dewocutie party !"
I Tho Captain alluded 60, is resSleut Of this
city, but will not vote for Franklin Pierce,
Ii any Democratic journal win deny She truth
1 OF the above statement, proof can be furnished
10 remove the doubts Of the most incrcdulous.
II any friend Of Gen. Pierce thinks this charge
partakes Of a personal nature, and IS uaerefors
not properly in the canvass, wa~wiii ask him
which party commenced personalities IN the
campaign, by publishing anew gNrbied state

SftEhsoN O1Ib, ptptemDeT 10.
HOUSE.
In the Hose, this afternoon, the contested
election caseras decided, and decision in favor
of Mr.. Harm, who holds the certificate of
election.
A resolutin was offered allowing Mr. Ru-
ble, cOntestormileage and pay up to date. 1t
was passed.
After prayr and reading Of journal Of Sat-
urdav, the Prsident laid upon his desk two vol
umes Of the Cagressional Globe and Appendix,
presented to he Senate by Hon. Thomas II.
Benton. The looks were accepted, and reso-
luton unanirnHsly adopted, returning thanks to
Col. Benton fG the same.
The resoluisns offered by Mr. Sturgeon, on
Saturday, and ESQ the resolution offered by Mr..
Young, were lid upon the table.
The Senate bok up the Hannibal and St. Jo-
seph Railroad Bill. Quite an exciting debate
took place. MI. Noell, of Perry, opposed the
bill, and contened that in donating the lands to
the Company, de act Of the last General Assem-
blv should be recalled. A motion will be made,
probably to ssfte out the third section Of the
bill.
Mr.. Richardon moved TO amend BY striking
out two, and inertng four per cent, so as to
compel the coInpny to pay bonus of four per
centum per yea on nett earnings Of the road,
which was reieced.
Mr.. Sturgeonmoved as a substitute for third
section, provision exempting all property from
taxation until th receipts exceed the expendi-
lures, and theni should be taxed as other prop
erty. This amndment proposed to exempt the
company from he two per. cent. annual bonus
to the State, nov provided Tor in section three.
After debate, thamendment was rejected by II
tot.
Mr.. Robinso moved an amendment in sub
stance the same IS above, which was withdrawn
after debate. Mr.. Mccoy moved to amend by
requiring the company to sell their lands within
period of six yars, instead Of ten, as now pro-
vided in BILL This was rejected. Pending the
question of ordeing the bill to be engrossed and
read third tint the Senate adjourned.
