THE FAIR.

Friends Of freedom, remember the Fair will be
held in Salem on Friday and Saturday the ODD and
23rd inst. 1t is near at hand. and will not you. all
who arc in reach of Salem, do what you can TO
swell its receints. We are informed by the mana
gers, that they especially want supplies for the
provision table, those of any and every kind will
Re welcomed. Flour, poultry, butter, eggs, cream,
vegetables and fruit. all can he turned to account
and any amount of them that can be contributed
For contributions of this sort they are dependent
upon the libcrality Of the friends in and about
Salem and the neislborhoods adjacent. Cannot
and will not some friend in each neighborhood take
the responsibility of making collections Of this
sort, or letnotice be given of II convenient place Of
deposit and each leave his or her contributions at
some one of them. Let the friends at Columliana,
Cool Spring, New Garden, Paramount, Alliance,
Marlboro, Randolph, Ro0tstown, Berlin, Atwater
and other places-do this and there will be a sup
ply that may be turned to profitable account. We
know il is n time OF great scarcity for many OF
these articles, but on that very account no one
should fail Of bcstowing whatever can be spared.
Don't fail to give because your contributions must
be small; they will help to swell the aggregate.
ANY amount il needed. The Anti-Slavery cause
will Of necessity be partakcr of the general embar-
rasment Of the country. But it bchoves every one
of its friends 10 see to it that it feels it rs little as
possible. Neither the country, abol:tionists or the
slave can : ford to have the work Of Ant. Slavery
regeneration step, csI ecially can it not be afforded
at this point of its progress, when an unexampled
interest is awakened and so many are willing to
listen and to embrace and avow its principles.
To all then who will help to push ON its success
an opportunity will be offered at the coming
Fdir. 1t can be done by becoming contributors

becoming purchasers of such articles as you
need, which it will offer for sale.
On this social Anti-SIavery festival, we hope to
see many Of our co-workers.
INFoRMArIoN.-It may be well for those who call
themselves anti-slayery, and yet fuse with and de.
fcnd the Knownothings, to be informed that their
companions and friends of the order, presented the
present Mayor Of Boston MS their candidate for re-
election. Burns ~ we all know, wac returned to
slavery, not so much by United States Irish sol
diers, AZ by the Boston militia, ordered out and
controlled by this anne knownothing mayor; in
Massachusetts too it will be remembered, that
FrecsUlIlsm committed sulcldc 10 give success tC
knownothingism. If such IS knownothingism in
Anti Slavery Massachusetts,. what are We to expect
Of it when it succeeds in becoming nationalizcd!
Will the Portage County Democrat and others in
like position tell us. The truth is, the Knownoih
ings arc intent on nationality, and the election OF
Il Mayor az Boston, who will bring the whole pow,
err of the city to the aid of the kidnappers, will be
good testimony in favor of the pro-slavery reliabili'
ty of the party. 1t is the old wing and democratic
trick now adopted by the new party.
To Freesoil Knownothings we commend the fol
lowing from Benefits New York Herald;
"PKETrY SrRoSG PRoor, The Knownothings OF
Boston have nominated Mayor Smith as their can
didate for that Office, which will doubtless secure
his reelection by a large majority. Mayor Smith,
il will be remembered, took an active part in main.
tanning the laws in the case cf Burns the fugitive
slave, and has been marked by the Anti-Slavery
So'ieties of Boston for inevitable exc ;ution. His
nomination by the Knownothings is pretty strong
proof of the soundness and the moral courage Of
this new party on the slavery question. Pretty
strong proof. What say the Seward and Cabinet
organs?"
Later accounts report Mayor Smith successful by
q majority Of 1000,
