RALLY TO THE POLLS {!

On next Tuesday elections come off in
The States OF Ohio, Pennsy ylvania and In.
diana, which, to some extent, will indi
cate their positions on tie fourth of No.
vember in the great struggle for free
Territories. We call it the great struggle,
for upon its result, we believe, vii de-.
pend The fate Of Kansas, already partially
subjected 10 the SIave-Power, by the
NAL administration of Franklin Pierce
and The Democratic party and not only
Of Kansas, but Of all Territory lying
ives Of it, with the chance OF crushing
out free society in California.
1t becomes Us then, in view of the
momentous results Of this suuggle. to
faithfully acquit ourselves Of that high
duty which we owe to our country as
American citizens, loving it and its Con-
stituion, above all else, by signfying al
the ballot-box, on the fourteenth, our
disapproballon Of this Administration,
sustained and eulogized BY the Cincinnati
Convention, and Of its pro.siavery, free

have no doubts. But with US il is not I

THE EVENTS OF THE LAST WEEK IN
STANDARDIZATION Wednesday a, an
early hour, the people commenced moving
around and conversng together, as though
some great event was soon 10 take place in
our midst. Presently persons we've seen
coming in from all direclions-i, was the
County Fair which had produced the stir
and which had thus called the masses to-
gelher ...
The first day was principally taken up
in the necessary preparations for the ex.
hibition which was 10 follow. On the
second day the gathering was immense.
Thousands of persons, of all classes were
seen marching in the direction of the
Fair Grounds, in the South part of the
City. The grounds were tastefully pre-
pared, and the eople all appeared 10 be
highly deligeted 1t is not our intention
to give description of the various arti-
ces exhibited, we have neither time nor
space for remarks upon this subject.
On the third day, Friday, the horses
were displayed, and presented a mos
splendid appearance. there were many
most noble animals exhibited. At two
o'clock P. NJ. the ring was entered by the
lady riders, Misses Mccullough, Cunning
ham and Coe The young ladies rode il
a manner alike credimble to themselves
and gratifying TO The spectators. Every
thing passed off most pleasantly, and tn
Fair was regarded by all as far exceeding
anything Of the kind ever before witnes
sed in this County.
As we are recording the public event
of the week, it is proper that we shout

she had finished her work, and having a

and took up late novel. In this way
she continued 10 overlook the torn pocket,

hood; that though her father, on account
of his Wilheim's, i'll health, had refused
10 consider the contract binding, and had
afterwards, other plans for his daughter,
she would not forget the pale, sickly boy
who had once kissed her rosy cheek and
called her his little wife, and that her
childish fancy had changed into affection,
when, after the death of her father her
hand being at her own disposal she had
put on the disguise of servant, and had
come to the castle to learn if the man
had become what, in her opinion, the boy
had promised to be; that it was herself

Countess Ermine would not consider her.

for her in her childhood, unless the Count
Wilhelm wished it broken, and that when
the Baron, having seen his son, had con-
fessed to the lady that though it would
make him the happiest of fathers to cal

to one who was so welded 10 himself,

springing beyond the reach of The arms
which would again have encircled her,
and clinging to the Baron, who, surpri-
sed at her long absence had come in search
of her, remember the doom of all who
invoke the aid of the Wrath of Ernheim.
Cannot that doom be averted?' inqui-
red Wilhelm, very humbly.
Il know of nothing that can save you,
returned the Baron, as he lead the lady
away, unless it be pilgrimage to the
castle of the Lady Ermine; and if by
prayers and promises you can persuade
her to become your guardian angel, and
take up her abode in this dwelling, you
need fear no more visitations from evil
spirits! '" ..'.' ''
The young man thought so too; and af-
after the beautiful Ermine had become
the Countess of Ernheim, even the Lady
