j1g~We have just returned from the state
fair, at Columbus, and have time to put but
little news matter in type for this paper. The
attendance at the fair on Thursday vas very
large, fully 10000 we should judge. The
display in all departments was large, and in
some quite rare and excellent The depart
ments of machinery and mechanics excited
great attention, and contained many of the
most important late inventions and improve
ments. Dairy and farm products were fine.
The display of blooded stock was very ex-
tensive, embracing number of passable
specimens, though we saw none equal to what
we have seen before. The display of fine arts
we thought meagre, trashy, and, with one or
two exceptions, worthless.
AS whole, the exhibition was full, with
great preponderance of common place an
imals and articles. and some very good ones.
principally new inventions. But after all,
the vast congregation of humanity, pushing
and surging about, and the endless schemes
and devices to make little ready money out
of the crowd one way or another, were the
most curious features of the show, In spite
of all efforts at order and system. it was
great Babel of confusion and discomfort, al
though the citizens of Columbus provided in
the most hospitable manner to accommodate
strangers. 1t was our first experience with
state fairs, and will probably last us for some
years.

by which the question of slavery extension
has once been amicably settled, have forced
the question upon us, against our urgent re-
monstrances, and they alone are responsible
for the consequences of our position, when
we proclaim our calm determination to have
more Slave States.
Resoloed, That, inasmuch as the entire
official patronage of the general Administra-
ton at the North is devoted to subsidizng
the public press. and rcwarding traitors for
betraying the interest of their constituents;
and as the reproaCh is justly cast upon us by
the South, that Northern men originated
and assisted in enacting the Kansas Nebras-
ka act and the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise; it becomes us to secure first the in
tegrity of our own organization on this sub
jact-therefore we will support no man for
any Office, either State or county, who is not
perfectly reliable on this question.
ResolUed, That the present Naturalization
laws, if honestly administered, are all that
we require and the only tests Of fitness for
office that we recognize, are honesty, copac-
ity, and uncompromisng hostility to the ex-
tension of slavery; and we are opposed to
the prescription Of any man on account Of
his birthplace or religious belief.
RGsOL0cd, That we approve of and endorse
Hon. B. F. Wade in Congress, in resisting
the Kansas Nebraska outrage.
ReSOlUGd, That the enormous increase IN
our State and county expenses, and conse-
quent oppressive taxation, demand thor
ough reform in the State and county admin
trations.
Dr. w. S. Lunt, of Hancock county, and
Jas. Murray, Esq, of Wood county, having
been announced as candidates for Senatorial
nomination, the Convention proceeded. to
ballot for a candidate, Messrs. Blnn and Ca
Piles acting as Tellers, when DR.. Lunt hav-
ing received 81 votes, and James Murray Ii
votes, it was on motion,
! Resolued, That Dr.WM. S. LUNT be unani-
mously declared the Republican candidate
for this District at the approaching election.
Mr.. Coples and DR.. White, supported
this resolution with some we'll timed remarks
showing from an intimate acquaintance
with the nominee, that his election to the
Senate would be putting " the right man /"
the right place."
! On motion Messsrs. Kent MlrSh and Ca
Piles were appointed Committee to advise
! Dr. LUNT of his nomination.
The following gentlemen were then ap-
pointed to serve as the Republican Central
Committee Of this Senatorial District, for
the two years next ensuing, viz:

SQUIRRELs.--The woods in this vicinity,
now fairly swarm" with black and grey
squirrels, and sportsmen come in from the
other side of the river with large quantities
OF them. One man declares that he shot
two dozen off single tree. The fields Of
grain are suffering considerably from their
depredations. What causes them to hold
such camp meeting" in this particular
locality, is more than we know, burt they are
more plenty than usual on both sides of the

We understand that the meeting of the
slave democracy on Thursday last was ad
dressed by Lieut.. Gov. Myers and State Lii
braran Taylor, but Gov. Medill did not ap,
pear. The speeches were most distressing
appeal TO the German and Irish citizens to
come to the rescue of the present pro-slave
ry administration, Mr.. Taylor reaching up
towards heaven and solemnlv declaring that
he believed foreign emigrants the salt to save
the country, (meaning his party, we suppose. }
Whether the German and Irish voters We're
foolish enough to be fattcred by such stuff,
we suppose we shall know after election. If
his assertion were true, it would amount to
this, that Americans were incapable of self
government without foreign assistance.

Singular Railroad Aooident---LOoomotive Loose

singular Railroad ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Loose.
Yesterday afternoon singular accident oc-
Cured on the northern division of the Toledo
Railroad, few miles this side of Toledo, by
which the locomotive "Tiger,'' was completely
demolished, without further injury. The en-
CINE was near the apex of steep grade at
tached to heavy gravel train; when the coup
ling between itself and the tender gave way and
left the locomotive to shoot forward like fash
of lightning, without engineer, fireman, or any
other person to check her motion. She whiz-
zed ON without regard to rules or regulations,
passing switches and crossings without any
monition or alarm on her part. At one point
she shot through gang of hands that were
busy leveling and crawling the track. The
men had hardly time to jump out of the way
of sure destruction. On, on, she sped, with
her bead towards the west, until she arrived at
gravel bed switch, which she appropriated to
her own use jumped off the track, turned a
complete double summersett, and so twisted
and turned herself as to land right side up
headed in reverse direction, completely de-
molishing the "Tiger," and terrifying gang Of
hands that happened to escape destruction at
the final smash up.
When the coupling broke, the engineer and
fireman happened to be on the tender, and thus
they were deprived OF the pleasure of this
Lightning ride. The engine happened to pass
over the road on the time Of the down passen-
ger train, but by fortunate occurrence the
passenger train was delayed beyond her time
and thus saved itself from certain destruction

Scarcely day passes but the warm wishes of
some correspondent, and his warmer words OF
praise and encouragement, tell us that our Ia
bors are not altogether unnoticed. But the
following we esteem as coming from distin-
guished literary gentleman, whose good opin-
ion is a compliment to any man. He writes
from distant point down the river: but the
American spirit must be poisoning about him
as rose, to have seduced him from literature
and commerce to the expression of political
feeling, even though friendly partiality brought
it out. He says:

American side of the present political division.
Rest assured your weight is felt. Not a day

with the American cause, mentioneda a cham
