The Presidential Canvass in 1856.
The following from the New York Eve
ming Mirror is not without interest in this
locality:
EDWARD BATES FOR PRESIDENT.
1t may be supposed by some on reading
the above name in connection with the Pres
idenoy, that the Mirror is again desirous to
be the "first to nominate" But as we were
long since cured of that ambition, we wish
it distinctly understood that the Mirror does
not nominate Edward Bates, of St. Louis, as
a candidate for 1856; or even that he would
he elected, if he were the candidate; and
more than all, other considerations in the
way, it is very doubtful if he would consent
to be candidate.
Nevertheless, we regard him as one of
the strongest and abest men in the nation;
and, as really great men are growing scarce
either going the way of all flesh, or of all
ambitious demagogues, who commit polit-
cal suicide before they get half way up TO
the summit of their hopes, we cannot afford
to overlook the character and the claims of
so eminent man as Edward Bates. Upon
the political record his name stands bright
and clear, with no ugly antecedents to rise
up like ghosts against him in the hour of his
trinmph; and, in private life. he is man
without reproach, and without an enemy
AS scholar, and statesman, patriot and
a gentleman, Mr.. Bates ranks among the
foremost in the Union; and, as an orator
neither Choatc nor Everett can surpass hin
in the strength and fervor of his eloquence
Why, then, should we not begin to talk
of Edward Bates as the conservative can.
didate for the Presidency in 1856? Where
is there better and ADLER, or more eligible
man for that high office? His locality is ST
central, and his love of the Union, so broaC
and deep, that neither section can claim hin
as, the representative of faction; but as a can

To toe Editor Of the
Middlebury Register;

MtuuteOufy HPya@rr;
Will you allow me to express
through the medium of your paper, a
few remarks relative to the OrweU
Torn Fair, held in that town, on the
18th instant, which l had the salts
faction Of attending.
The morning of the Fair, arose
bright and beautiful, promising a fine
day for the occasion, which induced a
general turnout of the citizens Of the
town, who we're seen at an carly hour,
bringing in their stock and other ar.
ticlcs for the exhibition, in great a.
bundancc. a large number of pco,
pie were also in attendance from the
towns adjacent; though the articles
exhibited were all furnished within
the town Of Orwell.
The Fair was got up by the Orwe1z
Farmers Club, an association which
was organized early in the Spring Of
the present season, for the purpose Of
the mutual discussion of agricultural
subjects, and of disseminating such
information as will tend to aid the
farmer in the successful prosecution Of
his business, of which large number
Of the farmers of the town became
members.
1t is said the semi-monthly meet
in9s of the Club have proved highly
interesting and instructive, inducing q
laudablc spirit of emulation in agri,
cultural pursuits among its members
which was amply illustrated by the ex
hibition at this, their first Fair. II
there is another single torn, that can
excel the show of farm Stock on that
day, it would be interesting to know
its location. This Fair in my opinion
would compare favorably with any Of
the county fairs that l have attended.

appeared rather sceptical. A large
amount of fine stcck was upon the

fine, and among them were some Of

of these pairs, was awarded the first

alike good, that good judges would
disagree as to which were best.

large, but amoug them were some
that were very superior. young
Cattle, there wa great number, es-
pecially of yearling cattle, of which
we're several entire lots of 10 or II in

character of the Stock of the town
