All Right.


While we abominate the cardinal
doctrines of The Fusion party, that
calls itself old line, we rejoice chat oc-
casionally, at least, there is honesty
enough to openly avow their purpos-
es. That it intends to discard protest
antism and protestant institutions is
too manifest 10 need confirmation
We have given abundant proof of
this, from time to time. No occasion
for stabbing professionalism and exalt-
ing Romanism is ever let slip, and II
none offer, one is fabricated In their
creed, there is no virtue. no religion.
no republicanism. except in the Ro-
man church. II is all right for Ro-
man priests, to oppose our free schools,
THAI is mere moral question; but
for protestant preachers to oppose
free WHISKY. is all wrong. that is a po.
litical question. In his famous spir-
lied speech at Southgatc, about a
year ago, Mr.. Jones, the acknowledge
ed exponent of old lineism in this
county. said there was more religion
in Catholic priests little finger, than
in all the Methodist preachers in the
land. Now we have no objection to
this. If the issue is to be made be-
tween Romanism and Americanism,
let it. come. but let il be open and
avowed. Let it be called by the
right name. but never make the sa-
cred name of Democracy the instru-
ment Of destroying our free schools,
and free bibles, and of introducing a
foreign despolism among US.
The most heartless stab that we re.
member to have seen for long while
is the following from the Richmond
Jetiersonian: eds - ~Ff s
"The journals Of the day have re.
corded the fact that while the Prot.
estant clergy and laity, to consider.
able extent. fed in dismay before the
pestilence which is raging at Norfolk
the Sisters Of Charity of the Catholic
Church. were firm and unceasing ia
their heavenly ministrations to the
sufferers"
Now no journals but Roman jour
mails and old line political papers have
ever allcdged such groundles'
charge. On the other hand the true
reports "haye recorded the fact" tha
protestant preachers and laymen have
died at their posts like true Christian
soldiers. Yet political capital can BE-
made by thus clarifying the "heaven.
ly ministrations" of Romanists. L
binds them to the party that adore'
them. We shall not complain. Blu
the party that thus sacrifices Ameri
canism for the sake of procuring the
catholic vote, win be marked by the
people. lesei sssss 81 ae1w.ls

Ladies Department. at the Fair.
The beauty and richness of that
part Of the hall devoted to the ladies,
show that they are deeply interested
in the Fairs. There was but one ex-
preston in reference to it. Itexoelled
any thing ever seen in this valley
We have not room to specify, but we
may allude to the rich display Of flow-
ers by Mrs. Linck. Taking the hint
from her. we hope the lovers Of the
beautiful will, next year, far excel
even her rich varieties. AS to quilts.
and needle work Of every kind, there
was splendid assortment. And
then. in addition to this. the ladies scere
there IN person, adjoining the whole
exhibition with their presence and
smiles. 1t is decidedly Questionable
for ladies not to attend. -

ing Of people of all ages, sexes. poll
tics and religion. and the general good
feeling which prevailed. is one of the
best arguments in favor OF such a
meeting We cannot say that the
awards were all given to Che best arsi-
Giles. To suppose that such was the
case, would be to suppose that the
committees we're composed Of men Of
unerring and almost }intuitiye Judge
ments. They had but a short time to
make up their minds. and may have
erred. We have. however,, heard no
serious complaints. Most, of the
competitors are men and women Of
liberal views, and they exhibit their
products, not for the sake Of the pre-
MUM, but for the sake Of encouraging
improvements 8 sa.fec ise's-5 !

could but contrast. in our mind. their
course with many men Of more means,
but vastly poorer. We have some
men withlargeincomes who own large
farms, and yet are distrcssingly poor.
They produce whatever brings the
most immediate money. and then in
stead Of improving their farms, build
ing comfortable houses and barns,
and adjoining home with comforts. that

their money at large interest. or in

money out Of them. They educate
them just to the point that pays the
best. in dollars and cents, and then
stop. They buy just as. few books,

Gate Keepers at the Fair. for causing

As the bylaws Of the society re-

Mr.. Rodman furnishes the following
as his nsodsts operandi in this premi-

of the board, he refused to allow Mr..
Jones to drive in at the gate, with a
a lady in his buggy. without being
satisfied that the lady. as well as Mr..
Jones. was entitled to admission I'M
der the rules and regulations. This
would have been all right with coun-
try chap but Mr.. Jones being an up
per ten, gothudy, and alighted from
his buggy to give Mr.. Rodman the
but-end Of his carriage whip. But by
one ofthose maneuvers that suck men
as Rodman know how to make, the
blow was averted. and the whip chang

mand we don't know, but the specta-

But for the interference Of some per

would have backed faster than biz
heels and that at least his seat Of hon
