Boonyille--The Fair.

Several of our contemporaries are rather
down on the poor accommodations and ex-
horbitant charges of the hotel and livery
stable keepers at Boonville. We are not
prepared from personal suffering to say with
what justice they complain, but some of
their statements look right hard in print

The Territories.

The Governors Of both the new Terrific.
ries are at their posts, and have entered upon
the discharge of their duties. We may look
for something from them shortly. The en-
igration to Kansas continues, and is much
greater than that 10 Nebraska. 1t will be
but short time before Kansas will be
knocking for admittance into the Union, as
aSovereign State. OF the emigrants going
thither, we have not yet seen a single one
who was taking slaves. We suppose, how
ever, this is not the case near the border;
as we have seen frequent statements of per-
sons carrying their slaves with them. Il
Missourians desire Kansas 10 be slave ter
ritory, they must do something more thar

ing resolves: they must be on the move, ant
that speedily. 1t will not be long before ar
election will be held there, which will choose
a Legislative Assembly. This first Asse
bly, will settle the question, and it will be
hard 10 unsettle it. Prompt action is ne.

The Editorial Fraternity.

The Fair at Boonville drew together
goodly number of the Editorial fraternity,
viz: Musgrove, of the Lexington Express;
Finch, of the Weston Reporter; McMurry,
of the Independence Dispatch; Hyde of the
Brunswicker; Graves, of tire Springfield Ad-
vertiser; Grisham, of the St. Louis News;
Howe, of the Republican; Peabody, of the
Journal; Switzler of the Statesman; Will
Jams of the Telegraph; Simpson, of the OBJ
server, and Speer, of the Missourian.
The Editorial Convention, so much talked
of, was a decided failure. At the first
meeting committee was appointed to re-
port progress, and an adjournment took place
to next day. Upon re-assembling. the COM
mittee was not ready to report, and furth-
er adjournment was had. Before the next
meeting, we left, but understand nothing
further was done than to appoint commit
tee to address the fraternity, by circular,
which will doubtless be promptly, and we'll
attended to.
DIR. Peabody, speaking of the fraternity
talks thus:
| MIR. Graves and ourself were the only
Democrats in the crowd, unless Mr.. Hyde
is one. As, on party questions, he is mum,
we do not know where TO place him, and as
Mr.. Graves did not remain, we were alone,
as Democrat, in a perfect nest of Wings,
and had to hoe our own row as best we could.
/ these pIr nSto
observation convinced us that, out of their
peculiar sphere, editors are human and in
most respects like other folks. Graves is
evidently clear headed, intelligent man,
and we are not surprised, therefore, that
he is a thorough Democrat. Finch, Simp-
son and Green, are specimens Of good liv-
ing. In Mr.. Musgrove we were disappoin-
ted. After seeing him we cannot conceive
how there ever came TO be any dispute as 10
whether he or our neighbor was the uglicr
man. Compared with the Lexington, editor
the Col, deserves his pocket full of knives
jack-kniveS. The truth is, though silver
hairs are literally intermingled with those
Of early manhood's hue, the editor of the
Express is passably good-looking and we
take pleasure in commencing him to the fa-
vor OF those Of the widowed sister-hood who
feel at all anXous 10 'bc,ter thcir condi-
ton"
The conclusion the DR.. comes to about
Mr.. Graves, shows the contents of his own
head, as plainly as his tout ensemble exhibits
the reverse OF the picture he draws of Finch
Simpson and Green" We join in the Doc,
tors well wishes in behalf of brother Mus
grove-assuring him, however, privately
that his allusion to those "silver hairs" will
never be forgiven.

Randolph Fair.

The Randolph Fair came of Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, OF last week. We
much regret we were not able TO attend
For first Fair, we understand everything
passed of well. Our neighbor John H. Es-
till, brought home several premiums on his
mules, and one on bull calf. Those who
went up with horses, from Howard, did not
fare so well, although they carried with them
the prestige of success, won at the State, and
other Fairs. Randolph has some fine stock,
and her elder sisters will have to brush up
q little before they drink ont Of her silver
cups.
