The Frais Growers Exhibition
The exhibition, which clesss today, is
sad to be the finest ever made at the nn-
nual meetings Of the Association. Al
though our fruit raisers in Iowa were $50
unfortunateas as to lose many choice yarie-
ties by frost yet what they did exhibit,
demonstrated the superiority Of Iowa as a
fruit growing State and the peculiar a
daptation Of her soil to its culture. Yarie-
ties of apples, pears and piums were exhib-
tied, grown here, which so far exceeded
in size those grown further East as hardly
to be recognized by those fami,iar with
their appearance.
The interesting and important discus
sions of the Society have been reported
thus far as much atlength as our columns
would admit Much valuable information
has doubtless been elected which will be
| useful to all concerned. Our eastern
friends have seen part of the Great West,
| and will doubtless carry back more correct
ideas than before entertained. In return
they have impaired the benefit Of their
long experience, compared notes and en-
terchanged greetings. 1t has been, sea,
sou of pleasure az well as profit.
We shall try tomorrow u give the
names of contributors auil varieties of

the Gate City, is evidently to justify the

The address though mild in language,
is calculated to stir up a more desperate
enthusiasm in behalf Of slavery aggression
in Kansas, than anything said or done by
the Stringfellow gang up to the present
time 1t closes with the proposition thai
the refusal to admit Kansas as slave State
would be regarded as virtual dissolution
of the Union. ~ =. .e-e.-. .,-.,. !.
That is Southern logic and Southern
policy all the time. Any attempt on th'
part of the great majority Of the United
States to resist Southern agressions ant
