Are you prepared for grand exhibit

going to work like men of energy and en-
terprise, or are you going to mill with
your corn in one end of the sack and
stone in the other? We have too much
confidence in the farmers Of Monroe to be-
lieve they have not energy and intelligence
enough to avail themselves of the advan-
tages of good Fair. If you have a
good field of grain, now is the time to
take the steps for entering it for premi-
um. Measure your ground, and the grain
which has grown on if. Keep it seperate
from the rest until it is measured.
And the good lady-your wlfe-what
is to hinder her from making just as good
butter as any body? And your good
looking daughter, can't she make as nice
quilt as anybody clse's daughter? If
so, why not get a premium and let the
people know it?
Waken up! waken up, and go to work
right, and our word for it you Will feel
yourselfrichIy rewarded when you go home

out fusion with the "A merican party, no
man of ordinary intelligence will honestly
claim one single State for John G. FIRE.
mont 1t is true that o fusion of the
American and Abolition parties has been
effected in this town to a very small ex
tent, by which fusion, the American party
has lost the control of what was, and still
ought to he, its own paper; paper which
was established by them, and supported
and carried on under great difficulties;
and by that loss are deprived of the means
of laying the principles and facts upon
which the American party rest their hopes
of success in the coming presidential elec-
tion before the people.
Our press is gone, and who is in the
fault! Has not the party been betrayed
Who governs and controls that press !?
Is he member of the American party !?
Every true American answers NO. He
is an Abolitionist, and belongs to that
family coalition that expects to make the
American party bow to their nod, or else
they must be betrayed, duped, and dis
franchised And the American party of
this county will find themselves mere tools
in the hands of this clique, if they don't
arouse themselves, keep up and renew their
organizations and stand up for their own
candidate. And more, every vile epithet
that they can invent is applied to your
candidate. They call him Southern
dog" "doughface," &c. But these are
their arguments, and in fact the only ones
they have ever been accustomed to, or are
capable of using.
l will say to you, Brother Americans,
the American cause in this county is truly
cheering; an overwhelming wave is rolling
back upon the enemies of the people; their
despair is evident, and they are grasplng
at the fragments of the wreck of their
hopes for safety Nine tenths of the
Americans of old Monroe are going for
Millard Fillmore. call upon yon, the
leaders and members OF the American
party to organize

Afraid to show his Hand.


We have been trying to get the editor
of the Journal to state his position on the
Bank law. Here is what he says:
ave here our neighbor will rest easy
about the bank law. We will make our
self heard on this question in good time.
The true and only question in which the
people are deeply interested demands our
present time, and the editor will learn
that we are not likely to cease discussing
the principle issue before the country,
which he would like us to do. SO don't
be alarmed neighbor. about the Bank
8 If he is going to come out in good
time, why is not this as good a time as
any? There is no necessity for ceasing to
discuss "the principle issue before the
country" The only reason he gives for
not answering our questions is want of
time. Now he could have answered our
question in half the time and in half the
space that he occupies in esading it..
His want of time is want of candor. Two
lines will be sufficient to say whether he
is in favor Of it or against it. The truth
of the matter is he is afraid to; notwith-
standing he claims to be "Me Champion
of his party, and processes to be ''stricty
honest and fearless"
