Z PoLITIcAL MEETINGs.--Why do not the
Wings and Democrats meet and make their
nominations! II seems to be impossible to get
the different counties to act in concert; in fact
they won't act at all. New Castle makes a
proposition, but Kent and Sussex are complete
ly mum on the subject. The Republican SAYS
We have heard it suggested that it will be
time enough to make the nominations ior Gov
Fernor and Congress, some two or thee weeks
before the electon,--that it is all folly to have
candidates running through the State expend.

votes. There is some reason in this, and from
the present appearance of things, we should
not be surprised if the nominations should be
delayed TO the last moment" The State ticket
fsrmerly was made out in June, and never later
than August or first Of September. The folly

PPRoHIBrToRY MEsTINe.--Our readers will
observe the notice requesting the friends Of
Prohibition in Kent county, to meet at Dover,
ON Thursday, the 14th inst. 1t is time that
arrangements for the mode of procedure in the
coming election, which is only about two mentRs
off, were being made. The friends of the cause
from the different parts of the county will meet
and discuss the relation and effect of temper
ance upon the minds of the~people, ,and the best
method to be adopted for the utter abolition of
the liquor traffic.
The political horizon is at this time particu-
larly dark. That mans optic nerve must be
strong. trong indeed-who sees what the re-
suit will be. Politics, this season, is problem
which would puzzle even an Euclid! How
many parties there will be in the field, and the
relative strength of those parties, is beyond
the keen sight of the old political war-horse
or the very sensitive touch of the "lig ght-fnger

State Fair Ground.

A very beautiful photographic plate of
the "Od Fort" is now being prepared at
Cincinnati, by one Of the very best artists
Of the country. The energetic Secretary
Of the State Board has had an accom-
plished draughtsman employed for sew
eral weeks in taking sketch Of the
grounds, prepatoFy to the getting up of
the plate, which will be l2 by % inches
and printed in colors, showing every part
Of the Fair Grounds, the location Of
halls, tents, horse and cattle rings, stalls,
business Offices, carriage drives, and a
full view of the ancient embankment,

This is to be done in the very best
style Of Art, and will make a fine picture
for framing. Copies Of these views are
to be sent to all parts Of the State, and to
other States, in connection with the State
Fair handbiIls, and is intended to furnish
acomplete index to all parts Of the ground,
as al the Halls nd Tents will be named

and a number Of physicians, whose
names we did not ascertain, we're
soon on the ground. as also were num-
Der from the vicinity, who labored unre-
mittingly to relieve the sufferings of the
unfortunate creatures stTeEn about.
The trains from the city did not, how
ever, reach the scene Of the accident un-
til after 8 o'clock in the evening, at which
time there were about three thousand
waiting conveyance home, ali the exeur-
tionists having arrived from the scene Of
their festivities to the scene Of death.
Ths principal portion Of the sufferers
were in the excursion trains, although
several of those in the accommodation
train were also killed and wounded.
Several persons, among them Mr.. Eman-
uel Stocket, saved themselves, on hear
ing the whistle blow, by leaping from the
cars to the ground, while going at full
speed. Those who escaped in this way,
received SO far as we could learn but lit
tie damage.
The bodies of the dead were all placed
in one car and piled up one upon another
presenting a ghastly spectacle. Most Of
them had been instantly killed by the
crash, some ofthem being horribly crush
ed and mutilated in manner to sicken
the beholder of the spectacle. The wOun-
ded were made as easy as possible, and,
in most OF the cases, their friends were at
the depot, and had them Immediately re-
moved.

ES"We would respectfully call the atten-
ton of the old regular wings of this comfy
to the following description of the "anti-ne-
braska" convention in steube1xile on the
4th inst. II is from the pen of their former
editor, W. r. Allison, Esq, who never did
nor do we think ever will desert his princi-
pies in order to obtain few subscribers:
"1he peoples convention convened here
on the 4th OF July, was but thinly attended.
The day was inappropriate-the mass of the
people taking more interest in the celebration
Of the day, than in the organization of ne W
party. We did not attend, but learn that
The majority Of the meeting were composed
Of those who have been active members OF
the Free Soil party. There were in con.
ton few Wings and few Democrats. The
speeches were made from the Free Soilside
of the house, and we have understood re.
llected with some severity upon the old par.
ties, as usual which we think llly-advised
and monstrously inipolitic. If the conver.
had been called upon another day it might
have proved more formidable in numbers
and satisfactory in its proceedings. -.Steu

sake of procuring Office or ''mess of pot

of that party thoughOut the county. Old
wings who have battled long and hard for
the success of genuine whig principles are
not willing at this hour to give up then
cherished principles Or party. Such men as

were picked up in the streets Of Cadiz after
