All the indications are that mo approaching
Exhibition of the Maryland State Agricultural
Society, to commence on the Goth instant and
Continue four days, will be one ofthe most inter
ssling and extensive ever held in the United
States. The applications for stalls continue to
be presented Il in Unprecedented number, and there
is every reason to believe that the extensive Show
grounds of the Society will be found scarcely suf.
ficient to accommodate the stock and machinery
which will be exhibited on the occasion, with the
masses Of visirers which will b. present.
All stock is expected TO be on the ground on
Monday, 25lE. The various railroad and steam
boat lines, on all the principles routes to and from
the city, have announced their intention to bring
all stock, &c, for exhibition at the Show, free
of cost and to issue excursion tickets on the
most liberal terms.

ANOTHER WIG WITNESS.

The Hon. T. L. Clingham, who represents in
Congress, the strongest Wing district of North
Carolina, gives to the public a most able, search
ilg and pungcnt letters, assigning reasons why
the South should r~epudiate Gen. Scott's nomina-
ton, and should sustain Gen. Pierce. 1t is an
other barbed arrow, drawn FROM the culver Of
Whiggery, and shot into the ranks of Sewardism.
It's effect cannot but be considerable. How
is it possible for the Scott ticket to maintain any
stand at the South when the Democracy is united,
and when SO many Of the ablest and influential
leaders of Southern Whiggery are abandoning
the cause in disgust and procIaining unanswer-
able reasons why SCOTS election would be dis
astrous to the Snmth and TO the Union 1?

As our paper goes to press and too late for a
statement fihe particulars, Horace Greely's III
hume comes to us, w~reathed in smiles, and gratu-
lations, at a dinner given 10 Gen. Scott at An
burn, New York (the residence Of Senator Sew
ard at which Mr.. Seward presided, with Gene.
raj Scott upon his right. Tho cheer was hne;
Ioasts and sentiments in abundance, among which
appears one ofthe General 10 tb. city OF Auourn'
and another of Mr.. Seward to his peculiar iavor-
lie and his chosen champion for the Presidency,
the great Hero and Pilgrim himself.
Desperate from the failure to carry Ohio and
Pennsylvania, the game is played more boldly Tor
the abolition vote; and in the attainment OF this
end, a Cancellation of Gov. Sewardhas been more
openly made, and a friendly consultation with him
at his residence, has been deeued desirable and
necessary.
1t is an i'll omen 10 this fearful canvass-and as
s~entineIs upon the watch tower of the Press, we
announce to our readers, and warn men of all
parties Of the danger which approaches.

MIR. WEBSTER.

The friends of Webster seem to maintain
their position without a shadow of turn ing.-
At the Monster Webster meeting in Boston,
last week, George T. Curtis, an eminent Wing
made a great speech and Mr.. Nelson a Web
srer ~e!ector, declared that General Winfield
SCOTS election would be "a sectional and not
u national triumph" and Seward would be "the
power behind the throne, and would control
the administration" The Boston Courier ri
dicules the idea of The New York Express that
Mr.. Webster is ignorant of what his friends
are doing, and adds:
Furthermore, we mushroom the Express that
it has fallen into a mistake in its phraseology.
Dir. Websteris supporters are playing no "Politi-
cal game upon the chess. board" The gambling
was done some months ago at Baltimore by Sew
and and Bolts and their political thimblerig asso-
