We prepared an article last week, In
reference TO the state fair, tho princi pal
object Of which was to oppose any more
migration OF Il, bat Il was crowded out.
This week we feel there Is much less
necessity OF such an article than we
had supposed. Nearly all Of our ex-
changes are speaking out upon the sub
jet, and all are opposing the future re-
movals Of the fair except those from
places where tho fair is expected. We
hope that the county societies will take
the matter In hand aud instruct their dell
cgatcs to the state board on the subject.
II one tenth Of the we'll authenticated
reports Is true, In reference to extortIon
and want Of accommodation at Lafa-
veto we think that this experiment Is
satisfactory.
As county, Il might be more conve-
nient for Us TO go to the next fair at
Richmond than at indianapolis, but, un-
less they build new hotels there tho
people can not be accommodated. We
visited Richmond few weeks since,
and though there were not fifty persons
more at tho hotels than usual, We lad

The new Democratic Review.

Yesterday we announced the receipt Of
the first number of the Democratic Monthly
Reviear, published in this city by VIM.
Ii. Lewis, ESQ.,, SINCE which, notwith-
standing our aversion to politics and hot
weather, we have taken time to examine
it. We must confess that we are better
pleased with this publication than we ex-
pected to be. Although its articles make
no classical display and are somewhat
void of polish, they are on popular sub
jects, strongly written, brief, and to the
point. We were forcibly struck with the
article on The Mania of Office Seeking:''
it would be well for the people Of this
country if that article had all extensive
circulation. Among other things the Re-
ulear contains several chapters from an
unpublished political novel, written by a
lady, entitled a Peep into Uncle Tom s
Cabin" If the chapters published are a
fair specimen of the work, it deserves, and
will, no doubt, meet with an extensive
circulation.
The Democratic Monthly Rcuic,r will be
great auxiliary to the press Of the Dem
ocratic party.

Stone for Washington.

Many of our readers arc probably not
aware that within twenty-five miles of
this city, in the State of Maryland, there
are large quarries of the hardest and most
durab bic flint and red stone-the very best

This article needs only to be quarried,
and the canal adjacent to it put in proper
working order, and it could be brought to
market with great readiness and at COM
paratively small expense.
1t is singular fact, and not little
disgraceful to the enterprise of our citi-
Zens, that while our builders are sending
to New England for this same kind of
stone, it exists in such abundance and of
such excellent quality at our OWL doors.
We trust those who arc about to erect
building in Washington will look at these
facts. Encourage your oun mechanics

with an empty purse and two or three
children. Her second husband was s. P,

G Everybody is complaining of the
heat, (says the Independent Press,) and
with good reason too, for no hotter wealth
er has been experienced in June for many
years. AS warm weather has fairly set
in, people should begin to exercise little
more caution, and endeavor to be temper
ate in eating and drinking if they wish
to preserve their health. The system in
summer becomes relaxed and is liable to
arrangement from the slightest causes
Therefore avoid all excuses, keep cool
and cheerful, and you can bid defiance to
disease.
