Another fine day is for us, and yet the south wind
is rather strong for hoped skirts and straw hats. The
tide of humanity is rushing in this morning, and the
village and Fair grounds fast filling up; but
think the multitude will find enough to eat and where

fifteen the Central in this morning filled to

THIRD DAY.
BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. II, 1856.
Sharp lightning, heavy thunder and copious rains
last night and this morning, and the air very sutry.
At 10 o'clock the wind veered westward, and the
sun came out brightly. Twenty cars arrived from
Rutland, and about AZ many from the east on the
Central. The steamboats, came in loaded, so that
the town is full of people The weather is now
glorious-a cool breeze sweeping across the lake,
and few clouds flying overhead. The Fremont
liberty pole went up yesterday, and the stars and
stripes are floating from tho masthead, some hum
dred and fifty feet above the earth. The wind
sweeps the flag toward Maine, which seems to
greet the news from that bright star in the East.
Multitudes are vending their way to the Fair
grounds, and the incosure is fast filling up heard
one gentleman say he had not seen but one buchanan
man and he swOre the ballOt.bOxes were stuffed in
Maine, and q new election would be ordered.
That's rather funny; but such politicians must say
something. True, the 0alOt-pO4es Vi Siaihe wo'o
