BELMONT COUNTY FAIR.

The Annual Fair Of tho Belmont Coun.
ty Agricultural Society, held in this place
on Tuesday and Wednesday last, was the
best one in every respect that the Society
has ever held. The display Of Stock
Farming Implements, Vegetables. Fruits,
Fancy Work, Flowers, &C.. &C., was first
rate, and reflected credit upon those who
had raised, produced, and manufactured
them. We might enumerate many arti.
cles Of handiwork, and a great deal OIL
stock. that struck our eye as superior. but
both time and compels us to omi,
the mention Of them to-day.
The show Of Horses. Cattle, Sheep and
Poultry. was unusually good, both in quail.
ity and quantity.
The new Agricultural Hall, which by
tho indefatigable exertions OF The building
committee, had been erected for the occa.
sion, and beautifully decorated by the La
DIES. is elegant, and the arrangements
most complete. II was well filled with ar.
ticles, and continually crowded with visi.
tors, the number of which was far beyond
all precedent or calculation. The demand
for tickets and badges greatly exceeded
the most sanguine expectations Of the of.
fcers.
The great multitude that visited tho
Fair shows the increasing interest our
farmers and mechanics are taking in these
annual exhibitions. The expressions Of
admiration heard upon every side, indica.
ted the high degree Of qualification which
prevailed among the people as they exam
ined the beautiful specimens Of art, taste,
skill and usefulness.
On Wednesday afternoon the annual
address was delivered by Gov. SHANNON.
1t was An able and highly appropriate
speech, and attentively listened to by a
large audience.
Altogether the Fair was a great affair.
Too much credit cannot be awarded to
the Board of Managers for the great pains
they have taken. and the enterprise dis.
played by them in getting up this exhibi.
ton.
We hope that all our readers were there
to see and hear for themselves, for surely
it was a great misfortune no! to have been
present.
An excellent police force was in atten.
dance, and good order was very general
ly observed. The companies Of Captains
CHARLEswoRTH and GRUBB were on the
ground all the while. We shall have
more to say hereafter.
A full list Of the Premiums awarded will
be given in our next paper.-St. Glars.

CLOSING iii .

An opinion has gone abrosd
as to the Time Of closing the polls q The
Presidential election. The error 10 which
we allude is in supposing that the polls
car be closed at 4 O'clock Is formerly.
By reference to swans Statutes, page
302, it will DO found that the second $50
ton Of the law regulating the election "
Presidential electors, requires It TO s'com-
and close at the same hours IN =
as may be directed By Ian for electing
members Of the General Assembly" Ii
will, therefore, a. once be perceived that
the time for closing the polls at the annual
State election having been extended 10, sis
o'clock, the same hour must govern ths
closing Of the polls at the election Of Pfssi.
dental electors.

THE ISSUE FAIRLY MADE.

seen. Pierce" says one of our exchan.
ges, "was in the Senate in 184I, during
the celebrated extra session. and on recur.
ring to the Journals. we find the following
facts: On the 95th July, l84l. the bank.
rupt bill passed the Senate-ayes 81. nays
%. Pierce's name is in the negative
Three days after, the United States Bank
bill was passed by the same vote, General
Pierce voting in the negative. Thus, il
will be seen that Gen. Pierce voted against
the bankrupt bill-against the incorpora-
ton Of the United States bank-and
against the distribution of the proceeds OF
the public lands. Now what is General
SCOTS position on these questions? In
his great platform letter, he says:
III | had the honor TO vote on the occa.
sion. L WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN IN FAVOR
Of the land distribution bill, the bankrupt
bill, and the second bill for creating a fs-
cal corporation
There is the record, clear and undispu-
ted; and there is the issue fairly made and
presented. Gen. Pierce stands cammit-
ted and voted against the Bankrupt bill
and the Bank bill-Gen. Scott says he
would have voted for all OF them, and
stands committed in their favor. Again
we say to the people. .Choose " be-
tween them"

THE II EsULT.

1t is impossible for US at the present
time, to say what are the democratic mo.
%joritiss q. the late elections, in Ohio, Penn.
sylyania and Indiana. We believe Dur
majority in Ohio will fall but little, il any,
short Of 10000. In Pennsylvania il will
be at least as large as in Ohio, and in'lni
diana Wright, the democratic candidate,
is elected Governor by over $4,000.
This result is glorious for tho dsmocrs-
cy, and clearly indicates that these States
are good for Pierce and King.

THEsUBLIME OFTHE UNITARIAN

Judge, Of Ohio, is noted for his keen
perception Of the ludicrous. lively imagina.
nation and just appreciation ofthe beauti
ful. Is well as for his sound sense and
judicial knowledge. He related to a friend
Of ours, in Washington, the other day,
while speaking o farecent visit to Niagara,
the following. "You cannot take any
position on the banks of the river, below
tho catarct. where it is possible to find a
scat, that some new and yet more beauti-
ful view does not present ITSELF" One
feels like Q very insignificant creature, and
the. idea Of q superior power comes to his
mind and heart with awful impressiveness.

mathematical calculation as to the mum.

talked voluminously (ifnot luminously) Of

But you see what gives the advantage TO
