admiration Of all who saw them. The Blankets
were certainly the finest articles of domestic
manufacture we have ever examined. and were
pronounced by all equal TO the best Eastern
manufacture. The Flannels, also. were Of su.
perior finish and excellent fabric. The patterns
were beautiful in design, and the cloth Of su-
perior finish aud texture. The Yarns were A

THIRD DAY-FRIDAy.

The attendance at the Fair yesterday was
quite large. The articles on exhibition attracted
but little attention. The feature Of the day being
the riding match bewcen the ladies, and also
riding match between the gentlemen.
The riding by the ladies was very leisurely
performance. The fair competitors for the
prizes seemed TO take very little interest in the
contest, and altogether we thought il a very dull
affair.
The contest between the gentlemen was very
animated aud exciting. We could not learn the
name Of either the gentleman or the lady 10
whom the prize was awared.
The fair closed with speech by Hon. O. A.
SMITH. II was highly interesting, and very

Newark. Oct. l. 1856.

-, Dear Sir:-The contest be-
tween Freedom and Slavery is at hand. The
crisis is upon us. A few days more, and the
destiny of our nation will be fixed for years
perhaps for ages. The poll of to wnships, in
this Congressional District shows clearly that
the contest between Gslloway--the defen-
der of Free Teritory-and Cox, the servant
Of the Slave Power, is to be a close one. We
will not deceive you. THERE is DAN
GER OF DEFEAT. Congress is closely
and evenly balanced. With the defeat Of
Galloway, the scale will turn, aud all our
Western Territories be forever lost to Free
dom. So close is the vote in this District
that upon your exertion may depend his elec.
ton.

Practical illustration of their senti-
ments


A few days since, says the Pittsburg
Union, at political meeting at Brookville,
Jefferson county, there was given practical
illustration of the prevailing sentiment of the
Fremonters, which is bluntly stated in the
words, "Down with the foreigner and up
with the niger" A German named Schmidt,
a quiet, orderly citizen. in some remarks
made in the crowd, gave offence to a big
burly negro, who, urged by his Fremont
friends, fell upon the German and beat him
terribly. The Germans friends, being over
powered by the superior number of Aboli-
tionists on hand, were unable to rescue him
until he was much hurt, but demonstrated
loudly against the indecency of allowing
such an outrage 10 be committed. The FIRE.
mont men, our informant says, justified the
act, and prominent one among them boldly
declared IL as his opinion that "a niggeri is as
good as a Dutchman any day."
This declaration, however, we are tod
had one good effect-it opened the eyes OF a
few Germans in the town who were blinded
by false issu ues raised against the Democrats,
and being led away by clap trap phrases
about free labor, were disposed to go with
the Republicans. They saw the practical
development Of the real sentiments Of the
Opposition, aud at once avowed themselves
Democrats, and nothing else. This little cir
cumstance taught them what estimate they
might expect occasionally to have set upon
them by those who are now asking their
votes for john c. Fremont. The Brookville
Germans have applied the lesson given them
thus early ; and the number of German votes
that Mr.. FREMoNT will get in that section oi
country will be very easily counted.

Of distinction in Boston, and who has filled some
highly respectable Offices in the gift of the people
OF this city, but who is now resident of another
State. The letter was directed to an active Whig
in this city

for Fillmore, you win most certainly do So and so

themselves under one or the other OF the candi-
dates the chance win not occur. i think that
our Wing friends--Choate, Winthrop, and Others
are not taking the right course to promote Fill
more's election by delaying until September to
show their hands. If they would now come out
boldly in his favor, the effect would be tremen-
dous. They would neutralze the efforts of the
Hudsons, the Upbams, and others, who were for
merly with us, but who now appear disposed to
follow the Abolitionists under the imposing name
Of Republicans
There are thousands of all parties who find it
hard to acquiesce in the nomination of Bschanan

STRONG UNDKR-CURRENT FOR FILLHoRE-It is
undoubtedly true that the intriguing politicians and
political wirepullers of the country are almost all
against Mr. Fillmore for President but 1t is equally
true that his hold upon the affections of the masses
the honest and patriotic yeomanry Of the country,
is strong and powerful. Everywhere there is a
strong uuder-current among the peopie-the bone
and sinew Of the country-manifesting itself in an
unmistakable manner in his favor. Whilst the DO
litical demsgogues are making good deal of noise
and creating some confusion In the popular mind,
there is class Of sober, thinking, observing men,
men who ask nothing, desire nothing, from party
successes, but who love and reverence the Consti-
tuition and the Union, and prize country moro than
party-whose influence will be seen and felt at the
ballot-box on the first Tuesday in November next.
Within the last week or two we have mingled
largely with people from different parts of the
State, and confess that we have been surprised at
the expression Of sentiment and feeling favorable
to Mr.. Fillmore, which we have heard on every
hand. We have not noticed any marked enthusi-
asm for Mr.. Buchanan particularly since his letter
Of acceptance, endorsing the Cincinnati platform,
has appeared but we have observed the strong
hold Mr.. Fillmore has upon the hearts Of the true
men in all parts Of the Union. Go where you may,
and there is but one sentiment among the moder-
ate and conservative classes and that is, that Mr.
Fillmore is the only safe man now before the peo-
pie, that he has made good President, and that
the country again needs his services to put down
agitation Such is the substance of the spontaneous
heart-language Of the honest sober-minded men Of
all parties, and in all sections. Depend upon II,
