The Next State Fair.

The State Board of Agriculture, at their
meeting on Thursday, unanimously deter
mined TO hold the next State Fair in the CITY
of Dayton. This is all right Dayton had
the best claims of any city in Ohio. Her rail
road connections are such that it is of easy
access from all parts of the State, and AS it is
in the centre of the most rich and magnificent
agricultural region in the West. we have nc
doubt the exhibition will be such as to dc
honor to the noble Valley of the Miami, and
10 the Buckeye State. Let everybody begin
to prepare something Htle better thaDsSas
ever before seen, for the fourth State Fair ,at

French Ladies and Fashion

In the middle of the Il 9Th century the ladies
all encased their bodies IN whaebone, and in
fated their petticoats with hoops; but St
Pierre conceived his Paul and Virginia, and
straightway the ladies of Paris arrayed them
selves in white muslin gowns and wore straw
hats Atthe commencement of Louis XIV's
reign the hair had been trained to stand erect,
and was sIiffened then to stand alone with
powder and pomatum; the co;fea~s had to
mount step ladders in order properly to dress
those tricopherous pyramids. But the young
Queen Antoinette was taken sick of fever
and lost all her hair The fact was no sooner
known than every lady appeared with flat
head. During the rage for liberty under the
Republic, the ladies dressed their heads after
the style of antique busts and adopted the
scant drapery of ancient statues.

LOUIS NAPoLEoN.-The following is a

favor if i; had background of antiquity or

"On the French Presidents message at

TO Grenoble, little girl five years of age
presented to him crown of flowers. saying
very prettilly, accept Monsiegnuer: this crown !;
it is without thorns." Louis Napoleon. half
serious, half smiling raised the little child
into the caleche, and placing her on his knee.
said DO you suppose, my child, that your
crown is without thorns?' sYes, Prince,
said the child there is not single thorn in it.
Poor thing. rejoined the Prince you will
find out some day that every crown has its
thorns, even a crown of roses He then kiss
ed her cheek, and gave her gold pin and a
bracelet

Agreeable to an old and time-honOred
custom, it becomes necessary, when upon ta-
king the control of a newspaper, that the edi-
tor should explain his future position. When
dong this, in justice TO himself and respect TO
the public, he cannot but cofess a questionable
competency in the honorable discharge Of
this responsible trust In placing himself up
on the generosity and forbearance of an in
telgent and discerning community, he de-
signs sparing no available means in making
his paper interesting, and worthy the public
patronage; hoping his endeavors may be fa-
vorably appreciated in return.
In launching this our first bark upon the
great deep of political contention and public
sentiment, he expects, what he naturally
might, to meet with hardships and storms;
perhaps to be tossed upon its bosterous
surge. For this We are prepared; yet are
anxiously hoping for the best Happily, we
are less concerned about the rough or smooth
sea, than for the dictates of a correct reason
less dependent upon the devised charts Of
counsel is strength to the just; whose voice
stills alike the turbulent wave and the tumut
of the people.
The Freeman will be devoted as formerly,
to politics, morals, select miscellany and gene
raj intelligence.
Politically, it shall be Whig; the Journal

views, believing them to be wholesome to the
increase and enlargement of our national re.
sources; and, such as, if carried out, cannot
but elevate the American people to that high
and intellectual condition for which all were
created. Principles for which Washington
fnught; the r, suit of which gave rise to this
glorious Republic-the terror of supersttinus
tyrants and crumhling kingdoms; principles
taught ere the sage hands of our fathers had
planted the Tree "f Liberty on the shores of
the Atlantic, which has xlrnded its exubc-
rant branches to the fair west and sunny
south, and under whose protective pavilion,
we are composed and "none make us
afraid" The hero's labors, from which
springs the sweet fragance of peace.
With slavery we shall spend but little time,
wishing to contine its discussion TO the several
states more Immediately concerned. We be-
leve, however, that il is unconstitutional, and
that congress has a right to restrict its bounds,
but should not think it wise to librrate the
coiorcd population without further preparatory
measures. To Liberia we would direct their
attention, not as land of exile or slavery,
but as to an estate-an inhpritence If free
dom. A field is here opened for them; an
honorable resort-a retreat Of wealth aud re-
nOwn.
Though party paper the Freeman shall
be literally conducted. paving due Difference
to the opinions of others, believing they act
from honorable con, lotions. We say
s'Ler the Press, with Truth enlightened,
Nobiy lead the pnrpie'S minds,
That while public m,uds frightened,

We shall nevertheless boldly defend what
in our opinion is right, combating error wher-
ever manifest; and. supporting wh"msoever
we think most suitable and worthy. even at
the censure of oar political friends.

Since $780, the national debt has been
slightly reduced, and the debts of the states
not much increased in the aggregate. though
Virginia and perhaps one or two others have
added something to theirs. But instead of
state debts, we have an enormous increase of
county debts. railroad company bonds, city
water loans, &c, of which a very large pro-
portion has been sent abroad to pay fur rail-
road iron and goods, snd sold at a considera-
BILE discount.
The amount of our foreign debt never in
creased so rapidly in any former period as it
has done during the present year; and the
bonds are now flooding to Europe by millions

THE FREEMAN,

Having passed into our hands, is again the
familiar. visitor of its friends And although
lessened in size, it contains but an item
less of matter. Our reasons for cutting it
down are of more than sufficient weight to
Justify us. 1t will enable US to place it on
every family table, and within the circle of
every freside in the county. We are aware
that the complaint has always been that farm
ers and mechanics and the harder working
classes of society were not able to take
newspaper from their being too dear, this is
no longer an excuse. We are happy to say
to the public generally that they can now be
furnished with the Freeman at the low price of
only one doif0r an GdvGnce to mail subscribers;
to town subscribers one dollar and twenty
FIVE cents. The reason Of this is the extra ex-
pense of carrying.
Feeling by no means sangune of success
yet we cannot but entertain a favorable hope
for the progress of ouF--undertaAing. The
Wings of Sandusky county are able to sup,
port Wig Press very well. The Demo-
Gratis are by no means behind the times, many
having already honoraby given us their
names with the promise of their support
We hope there are many Others III" are able
