of the United States is continually enarging the
rights Of slavery and repeating sacred promises for

The only way to maintain friendly feeling among
the several States of the Union is TO dedicate the ter

question of slavery Will cease.
Slavery is the direct of the present cxasper

We have two daily and ten weekly newspapers

with Fillmoreism or Buchananism. Mark the

Who Are the Revolutionists Z?

This question is so conclusively answered by
New York contemporary. that we prefer to
quote his language:
The Cabinet organ has said that the move
ment upon the Army bill is revolutionary and
so, on the part of the President it is. He has
been false to his own oath he has not seen the
Kansas law faithfully executed" he has not
been loyal to the constitution. He has upheld
a spurious Legislature, spurious laws, armed vi
olators of Territorial rights, murder, arson, rob-
berry and his present policy, which the Buchan-
an ultra slavery men of the Senate seek 10 fas-
ten upon the House is this atrocious Pierce pol
lev of "moral treason" crime, outrage and the
conversion of Kansas into slave State by mil
itary coercion.
The attempt to dragon the House into this
policy of securing slavery in Kansas by the r
chile expulsion of the anti-slavery settlers by
the United States army and the border rnffians,
is a revolutionary and fearful precedent 1t sets
up the Executive above the constitution, the laws
and public opinion-it makes him Territorial
dictator, and clothes him with the power of an
absolute Jespot. It is a mockery of popular
sovereignty, an outrage upon justice, and a
CRIME which can only lead to most disastrous
reaction. We warn the South that this exper-
iment of securing Kansas as slave State by
the agencies of fire and sword. will do no good
The Territory may thus be cleared of anti-slavery
squatters; but the question of the admission of
Kansas into the Union Will have to be settled by
a different process
Better have no army than to permit the Exc
cutive, with the army, to override the constitu-
ton and the laws.

WILMINGTON AGRICULTURAL
FAIR

Reported for the Vermont Phoenix.
The fourth annual exhibition of the Whining
ton Agricultural Society, took place at Will
mington on Thursday, the OH inst. The show
excelled in all its departments any previous eff
effort made by the Society, and added another
wreath to the fame already won by the people
of Wilmington. 1t was the opinion of numer-
Gus strangers who were present at the Fair,
that the exhibition of neat cattle was the best
they had ever witnessed. The number of pairs
of working oxen on the ground was 1907 and
the show was witnessed by about 5000 persons
On the morning of the Fair as soon as the
grey Of dawn had made its appearance, every
road leading to this usually quiet village was
alive with people, coming from all the adjon-
ing towns. Before nine O'Clock every street
was densely crowded with visitors.
About 10 o'clock, A. NJ, beautiful car
drawn by 81 pairs of oxen, and occupied by
the Wilmington Brass Band and goody num-
bor of her fair daughters, entered the village
amid the cheers aud shouts of the multitude.

The second annual exhibition Of the Whit

Jacksonville, on Tuesday Oct 7Ih. The wealth
er was all that the most sanguine could wish,
and the attendance very large. Although this
exhibition was not equal 10 what it nigh, have
been under different circumstances, it was gen
orally very satisfactory, and will show what the
society can do in such things. arhe show Of
Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Swine and Poultry, was
large, and Of quality. There were I59 pairs
OF oxen and steers exhibited, l6 yearling heifers
and 81 calves, tina, would DO credit 10 any show
The show Of cows, sheep and swine was not so
numerous, but good. A less number Of horses
were exhibited than last year, but Of super
Tor quality, in some respects. We notice ia
particular the beautiful stations of Lewis Clark
of Coleraine, and Dwight Hicks of Rowe, both
OF which showed great speed, The conven-
fences for lrotting were not the best, but the
judges allowed that MIR. Clark's horse showed
less than minute gait.
The indoors exhibition took place in two
large halls, in Browns new building, both of
which were well filled, and crowded through
the day with admiring spectators. The lhanks

The STATE Banner thinks a great attraction
might be added to the County Fairs by offering
premiums TO women, for public performances
on horseback We have no doubt il would be
attractive to some, particularly to those small
boys, who under the wholesome provisions Of
our wise laws, have never seen a circus. With
their sisters and female cousins for performers,
they could participate in the refining enjoymenls
of the wiring without danger to their morals
The ATTRACTION" would he considerably enhanc-
ed by diversified feats of female grace in tie
way Of dancing on the tight rope, ground and
lofty tumbling and general gymnastic perfor-
mances. A good deal of money could be made
in this way, and the reelection that the money
is not "carried out of town" would oe very
gratifying to the seleeimen. Horse company
and hsrse life and literature, Jockey Clubs,
public and Haunting displays, two-forty, and
FIVE better are the things to refine and exalt fe
male Young America. BY all means, gentle
men managers give US the proposed "atlraction. +"
