ed Neutral papers; and when they depart from
their true positions as neutrals expose their Da-.
|plicity. PRO BONO PUBLIco.. &


The following from the Lancaster Eagle, print
ed at the home of Col. Medill, our candidate for
Governor, will put to rest the base charges which
have lately been set afioat by the whig press in
in this State, about his being en- incorporate man.
The Wing party, seeing that they are doomed
to utter defeat on the second Tuesday Of next DC.
tober, have, thus early, Kissed on their pack Of
bowling ours, to traduce and Willy the CHARACTER
of COL MED1LL. The Xenia 1brch-Light, whose
editor is fit tool to lead off in in the dirty work,
has admitted into its columns the effnsion Of
base slanderer, charging Col. MED1LL with intem-
perance; the editor Of that sheet, knowing the
moral character Of this gentleman, as he most.
surely did, is culpable as the writer himself. he
doubtless admitted the base slanderer into his COL
umns for the purposes of breaking the force Of
the charges against Mr.. Barrere by several of the
democratic papers,of being little too fond ofths
ardent himself. We had not intended to notica
charges, SO ridiculous and unfounded as thew are.
which every one in this community and elsewhere
who are acquainted with Col. Medill can fully
bear witness. But, as the story has been noticed
in other papers, we deem it our duty to unequiy.
ocally deny the charge, to distinctly say that the
charge against Col. Medill of staking too much
strong drink" either last winter, or at any other
time duriug his whole life, is wholly untrue
Col Medill is in every respect temperate man,
has never at any time been in the habit of using
Intoxicating drinks as beverage, and until thirty
years of age never tasted any kind Of spirituous
liquors. He has never been intoxicated OF in the
least under the influence of liquor in his life.
Col Medill has been much il. public life, and
exposed to all the temptations which beset and
too often overcome our public men, but during all
the exposures by which he has been surrounded,
in public and private life, he has pursued course
OF strictest integrity and exhibited in all his hab-
its Of life of temperance and sobriety. The
charge, therefore, Of drinking and intemperance
against him, will be something new to the pco-
pie of this place, where he has resided since his
boyhood, evcept when absent on public business

Resolped, That to substitute the mere ceurte-
sizes of society for the more important duties of
life, is treating woman as the cunning trader does
the unskilful Indian-exchanging gaudy trinkets
and baubles that glitter before the eye and please
the fancy, for substantial gold and silver.
Resolved That Committe of three be appoint-
ed to draft petton and canse it to be circulated
throughout the State of Ohio for signatures, ad-
dressed to the General Assembly of Ohio, ask
ing to have removed the various disabilities un-
der which women suffer at the present time by
the laws of this State, so that she may be in all
legal respects the peer of her husband and
another Committee of two to visit the General
Assembly at its next session, and present to that
body the claims of woman as advocated in this
Convention.
Resolued, That as a Convention we tender our
sincere thanks to those gentlemen and ladies in
the city of New York, who SO nobly stood for the
right in the recent issue between dominant power
and freedom of speech, during the late Temper
ance Convention held in that city, and further,
That our cordial congratulations are especial
iy due, and are hereby rendered to. Miss Lucy
Stone, of Boston, and Miss Emily Clark, of lie
Roy, for the able and triumphant vindication Of
woman's fitness to engage in the Reforms of the
age, in the propriety of action and sentiment, and

State Eair-Items,

we spent Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday at Dayton, enjoying the sights and
sounds incident to the great ingathering
OF the great agricultural men and women
of this great agricultural State. The city
Of Dayton has been filled to her utmost
capacity by the masses. The Fair closed
yesterday friday by a glorious, hearty
speech from Gov. WRIGHT. Of Indiana,
and by the presentation of the silver COB
let's, &C., to the successful competitors.
In the amount Of money taken in, this
Fair has exceeded all those which went
before. The number Of people on the
grounds has been variously estimated at
from fifty to one hundred thousand. The
display Of stock, especially of horses, was
superior to any previous display; but in
the Mechanical, Floral and Manufacturing
departments, owing to the carelessness or
inattention of the people of the Miamis,
there was not such a display as would re-
fleet their industrial interests. Mr.. GEsT,
at the close Of the performance, animal
verted upon this remissness in pleasant
kind Of terms, charging it as a failure dis
graceful to the Miami Valley.
The Fair was surrounded. as such
Fairs generally are, by oil the odds and
ends of the country, bent on making
money. WEIGHS Hippodrome was in full
blast-around and near it, were exhibit
tons Of the two Hoosier fat children, with
a man who boosted that he was born near
JOHN G.. CALHOUN, in South Carolina, beat
ing a drum before it. Then came the
wonderful infant drummer. with the sound
Of martial music within. Then a bevy OF
ice cream, coffee, and lemonade vendors.
crying their delicacies. Then the won
deriul fat girl from Portage. then a troupe
Of dancers, then a tent OF monkies, then a
whole show or a California bear, and in.
deed such a rare medley of sports and
sounds, with such wonderful Boosting by
the drummers about"Your moneys worth.
etc." as to make a very bedlam of the out
side of the Fair. Within was good order
and system. Crowds in the tents-around
the rings. under the sheds, at the eating
stalls-all bent on recreation. Women
were as plentiful as men, and children as
both.
There was little on the ground to mar
the order and pleasure Of the Fair. Too
much credit annot be given to Col. Me-
DAIRY the President and Prof. MATHER,
Secretary, Of the Board Of Agriculture. as
well as 10 the Board and their efficient
agents, in surveying out their admirable
arrangements. We heard the whole Of
Gov. WR1eHr's speech. For practical
sense, good humor and perfect adaptness
to the occasion, it cannot be excelled. An
extempore effort, yet thad the sound sense
of sage reflection, and bespoke Tor the
noble Governor, a heart fell, interest in the
west-i,s people. its agriculture, its virtue
and its loyalty to their State, which made
the heart glad to greet him as the Governor
Of a sister State with kindred hopes and
| des,iny.-Ohio Statesman.
