OUR STATE FAIR.-A hasty trip to the pro-
posed Fair grounds between the Chicago and
Grand River Roads, on the Cass and Jones farm,
gave us the gratifying information that all the
preparations are making which the comfort and
convenience of the public on that occasion will
demand. The spacious area appropriated for
this purpose, is already securely enclosed with
a substantial fence. The necessary buildings
will soon be erected, and are to be neat as well
as substantial in their appearance. We hope to
be able to give detailed description of the plan
of the grounds, buildings &c., in a few days, for
the information of our citizens.
AS the time is rapidly approaching for the
Fair, would it not be well for the People of De-
troit to move in the matter, and commence ar
engagements for furnishing accommodations for
the many thousands who will visit us on this
occasion. Should not our City Fathers soon
convene and issue a call for public meeting, to
appoint committees in the several wards to wait
upon citizens, and ascertain their ability and dis
position to open their doors for the accommoda-
ton of guests. A proper Registry should be
provided, where visitors can call and be directed
to lodgings on their arrival The proverbial
hospitality of Detroit forbids the idea that she
will now be found wanting. BY the adoption
of some system in this matter, there need BIO no
cause for complaint at the lack of necessary ac-
commodatons for our country friends.
If the proper steps be taken-if the city au-
thorties are seconded by our people in their
plans, the occasion will prove one Of unmixed
qualification to all concerned Shall it not be so!

~" The political skies are bright; every po-
itical movement made for the last two months
tends to brighten up the political armor and to
advance the cause Of PIERCE and KING, Nc
CLELLAND and PARSONS and all the Democratic
nominees for Congress. So far as the nomina-
tons have been made in this State, they have
thus far been made to the entire satisfaction of
the great majority Of the Democratic party
We find all that were candidates for nominal
ton, and were so unlucky as not to have votes
enough in Convention to secure the object, bow
ing and submitting with an easy grace to the
high behests of the majority in Convention
This is as it should be- it sets an example to
the party and individuals of the party, that they
can not very well help following. We hope to
see the Democracy of the Grand River Valley
this fall move in one solid, unbroken phalanx,
in favor of the whole of the Democratic nomi-
nees. A good deal depends upon united action
of the party in the North Western Counties of
