THE STEAMBOAT WAR RENEWED
The steamer Francis Saltus was attached
day before yesterday, at the suit of tho
Shawmut Bank Of Boston, which is the
holder of certain notes given for the pur.
chase of the boat by the recent owners,
in Pittsburgh. She was forthwith re.
ceipted in order to keep her running,
when an injunction was granted by Chan.
collor Pierpoint to pre7ent the removal
of the boat from the waters of Vermont
and beyond the jurisdiction of the Court.
The attempt to stop the running of the
Saltus, which we suppose to have been
the principal object of the proceeding,
seems, however, to have failed as, not
withstanding the injunction, she moved
quietly from her moorings yesterday and
is on her regular trips to day. What
will be the upshot of the affair, remains
to be seen, There will doubtless be con.
siderable litigation before the end is
reached darlington Tree Press, 22d

1t is amusing to hear the Democrat.
ic papers cry out SO Justify against
"lusion." Their defeat in Iowa was
owing to the "fusion" of the opposite
parties. The late utter rout Of their
forces in Vermont was produced by
fusion" The chances of defeat in
Maine and Indiana and Ohio and
Michigan arise from "lusion." The
word is a good word, for it explains
everything and excuses everything,
but after all is heard without much
meaning attached to it. What does
it mean?
It'mcans that the opponents of the
present Administration, reused to in
dignation by the perGdy of its pro-
slavery adherents in the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, have determin-
cd to forget minor differences and to
unite for the great object of saving the
nation from being pledged to the sup
port Of slavery. "Fusion" is as good
a word for such combination as any
other. r
But the Locofoco papers have no
need tolook among their opponents Cor
a definition Of the use of word. How
was Franlin Pierce elected but by the
''fusion' of all the distinctive princi.
pies and prejudices of the different
sections Of the Democratic party.
Southern fire-eatcrs, Union men. Free
Soil Democrats Of New York, Hunks

Supporters of Western River Improve

tant political topics, were all SO hun,
cry for Office and spoil that a grand
"iusion" was formed and Franklin
Pierce chosen President, as the Rep,
rcscntative Of every one of these prin
ciples. There never was before il
the history Of politics such fusion. ,
So complete was the chemical unior
produced by this mingling Of so many
different principles, that there was bu
orc distinctive property recognizable
in the homogeneous mass, that was
love for the spoils.

AAS AOuiSon county talr.
Our County Fair comes off on Wed.
nesday and Thursday, Oct. 4th and 5th,
being held for the first time during two
days. 1t is confidently anticipated that
the Fair of the present year will far ex.
Del that of any previous year, from the
value and nature Of animals already
pledged for Exhibition.
1t is expected that the original Blacl
Hank, owned by DAVID HILL, Esq of
Bridport, will be on the grounds with
an hitherto unequalled show of his UNI
rivallod descendants. The fame Of this
celebrated horse is co.cxtensive with the
Union His colts are in constant de-
mand, at prices varying from $500 to
to $4,000. lie is the sire of more fast.
going stock than any horse living, or
known in history, and is tho sire of the
feetcst entire horse in the United
States.
The celebrated Aocks of imported
French and Spanish Meriuo Sheep, for
Which our county is well known through
out the entire West aud South, will be
very fully represented. We hope no cit.

animal or article which would do crcdi,

the spirit Of freemen, to make them
burst asunder merely party ties, and
thunder forth their INDIGNATION. 1t is
only to be regretted that Mcdonald
proved himsclfa coward as well as a
traitor, and dared not face his out
