The County Fair Postponed.

The executive committee, finding il i'm
possible to fit up the fair grounds at Ottawa
in such manner as from present appcaran-
ccs the occasion will require, in time TO hold
the fair on the Goth and Goth inst the days at
present fixed upon, resolved at a full meet
ing at Ottawa ON Thursday, TO postpone the
fair until Tuesday and Wednesday, October
9Th and l7th,-on week after tic state
fair at Chicago.
The farmers aud mechanics Of La Sallc
county can then rely upon having better ac-
commodations for their stock, wares, and
products than they lave found at any pre-
vious fair at Ottawa.
Not only will farmers then have an oppor-
tunity to exhibit their stock, but they will
also find marlct for it, 1t will bc seen by
all advertisement Of Mr. b. Strawn, which
we to-day publish, that he will he on hand
to purchdSc all tie Stocl, whether superior
or inferior, that farmers may bring in to
sell Of course all the stock brought in will

One of the prctticst little villages (natu
rally, we mean in this county, is Mar
settles, miles east Of Ottawa. The Rock
Island Il. t., snd the Illinois and Michigan
canal run through it, and more than all, it
is situated on the rapids ofthc Illinois river,
which at a modcrotc cost could be made 10
furnish any amount ofwatcr power. \ dam
ras once built here, and fine Touring mill
erected but this being burnt soon after, and
other mis(ortuncs oycrtaking the proprietor,
the dam was neglected and suffered to be
destroyed, the people thus losing all that had
been gained in the way Of improvements.
Since that time, stagnation and decay
have been the principal characteristics OF
the place but this season we notice some.
thing of favorable change. For instance,
Mr.. John Harrington has built large three
story warehouse, and we learn that ten of
the principal farmers in that vicinity are
about erecting another still larger one.
Mcssrs. Harrington and Wood arc also
. DulIulng each Ol tuCIn HcW HNoTcS, anu
Mcssrs. Richcy and +. S. Morcy are about

| Marseillcs contains something over 900
Inhabitants, and has as fine farming coun.
try as any in the state. 1t has stores, |
wagon shop, with steam pcwer) 3 black.
smith shops, carpenter shop, . boot and
shoe shops, &c.
Town lots, 90 by 100 feet, are selling for
from $50 to 500; farming lands on the
north side are held at from $50 to $50 per
acre on the south side from $40 to $50 pcr
acre. On the north side there is supposed
to be large quantity Of coal, and Mr. ID.
Ward has lately opened fine vein over 4
feet thick, oil the very best quality.
II not more than 100000 were invested
properly at Marseilcs, in less than ~ years
il would contain 5000 inhabitants, and
would be decidedly one of the pretticsi
towns in Nor,hcrn Illinois. That this will
be the case some day we confidently believe,
for the place possesses advantages which ca
pitalsts cannot fail 10 see and appreciate.

! Mr.. lchabod Codding, who has for the
( last month or two been pcrambulating the
state as sort Of political evangelist, in the
/ pay OF the fusion leaders Of Chicago, cx-
hortins the wings, know nothngs, aboli-
/ tionists, and disailected democrats 10 forget
all minor distinctions and fuse under the po-
ctical name of Republicans" appears to
have completed his labors in the southern
and middle parts Of the state, and is now
, holding meetings in the north. The series
Of meetings for this congressional district
was commenced at Iockport some three
weeks ago, and two weeks ago We had the
| good fortune to hear him at Joliet. His
speech was such one as democrats can
well afford TO hear. lie depicted lorcbly
and cloqucntly the union and power Of the
democratic party, and told his hearers plain.
~ that neither whsgcry nor Gbolitionisin
alone could begin TO cope with it, and the
only hope was general fusion Of all the
ismS, Sam lac said had held out fair promi'
, SIS 10 do something at the start, but lattcry
/ he said it was undcniablc Sam was sick
quito sick and as Sans principles at best
were rather shabby. he thought his follow
crs had better drop them, and join the open
and more pro niSing fusion movement. We
observed that both at Lockport and Joliet
! the efforts of Mr.. Codding were efficiently
seconded as assistant spokesman, tail bearer
and shinglc clapper by the Hon. jesse o.
Norton, the representative of Sam in tho
next national council, from which we infer
that sweet Jesse" has about concluded TO
cut loose from Sam
The project Of Mr.. Codding is, to aban-
don andignorc every other issue or princi-
pie, and to make one grand, concentrated
northern effort to dcmolsh the great demo
cratic party by riding the single hobby Of
the restoration of the Missouri compromise.
The idea is happy one, with tie exception
of q, single flaw in it, Mr. {. bore down
heavily in his Grafton on the fugitive slave
law, yet that famous Sth section, called the
Missouri compromise, contains the following
important proyiso
"Irordi'd, alroys, That any person csca.
ping into the said territory, from whom la
Dor or service is lawfully claimed in any
State or Territory of the United States, such
fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed, and colt
yeyed to the person claiming his or her labor
or service as aforesaid
Theprogramme of Mr.. c. evidently en-
cludcs the restoration Of this clause Of the
compromise in question. The principle Of the
great republican party is then narrowed
down TO this: the abandonment of every
other issue aud to labor alone for the rcsto-
ration of u part Of the Missouri compro.
mise.
