had it depended upon the forced labor of the
slave? Would those fair valleys and those fer
tile and extended plains, that far to the westward
are now yielding up their willing increase to the
husbandman,--wou,dt they have ''blossomed like
the rose" under the culture of the bondman
We answer emphatically No! Free, free foreve,
from the blighting curse of Slavery, may all oul
new States and Territories be.
For that blest consummation we shall earnestly
labor in our sphere, and when our eyes shall close
upon transitory things Of earth, may we be able
to look upon with patriotic pride, and behold ou'
nations banner floating over a land enriched with
the highest blessings of Freedom and Peace.

AGRICULTURAL SHows.-Decdcdly the best
shows of the year will be the farmers That
stere0typed witness-'the oldest nhabitaut'-
declares that he never knew so plentiful
year as 1856 promises to be. All around from
Canada to Georgia and Tennessee, the farmers
are revealing in the prospect of case and
wealth. 1t is probable that the world has ne
yer seen so gorgeous display of agricultural
wealth as will be witnessed at the twenty-five
State fairs which take place between the 10th
Of September and the LIST Of November.
Georgia begins the round, at Atalanta, on
1913 September. On llth the shows at Sher-
brook, G. f., and Rutland, Vermont, are open
ed; on 18th that of New Hampshire, and that
Of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society. The
Ohio fair begins on 18th at Columbus; and on
the following day that of New Jersey at Cam
den. On the 25th Kentucky and Pennsylvania
open theirs; and on the Goth the Western Vir-
gnia fair begins at Wheeling Island.
During the first week in October three shows
are held, that of New York at Elmira, that Of
Michigan at Detroit, and that of Tennessee at
Nashville. Canada West, Connecticut and IL
Hartford and Chicago respectively show
is to be held at Mont gomcry, Alabama, on 23d,
and another on the same day at London, East
Tennessee. Finally, the list Is concluded by
shows at Baltimore, Maryland, in the last week
of the month, and at Richmond, Virginia, on
3Oth Oct.-2d Nov.
The farmers will have good time; and pro-
hibitionists had better give them wide berth.
