Complacency under Difficulties.
Courage amid sdversities has always been
reckoned one of the noblest Of human vir-
tues. And this virtue was never better
exempli6ed than it has been of late by
some of our Democratic brethren. After
defeat the most thorough and disastrous
ever known, sufficient in ordinary cases to
crush out the last vestige of zeal and hope,
we 6nd them, if possible, more cheerful
than ever. Our friend of the Courier
knows no bounds in his exultation over
the election of Democrat from Rutland.
The Woodstock Age casts its eye over
the State, and thanks Rutland, st. Adams,
and few other towns, where division
among the Republicans allowed the Dem
ocrats to succeed, " for the noble part they
have performed in giving better charac-
ter to Vermont Legislature" But the
Bradford Telegraph man is in ecstasies.
Hear him. " Every Democrat must be
heartily gratifed with the result of the
election in the eastern part OF Orange
County at least. -. Huzzah for old Cor
inth !. And Topsham too; welcome
back to our ranks !. Orange Noble
old Orange!. -. Three cheers for old
Orange l.. .Lo West Fairlee the abode
OF honesty and patriotism !. ..And Brad
ford what shall we say of thee, beloved
Bradford"
We cannot too highly commend this
spirit on the part Of our friends. They
are contented with what they can get.
Enough for them are even the crumbs that
fall from the table of their conquerors.
We doubt not that their affections cling
with more warmth and satisfaction around
the few struggling Democrats that find their
way to Montpelier, than they would, If
those few were increased 30 as to become
the majority.
1t is said that DR.. Franklin had an e1-
eellent habit of always commencing, if he
could conscientiously, the articles OF food
ON the table. Once at hotel, everything
was SO very bad that his friends were be-
ginning to wonder what he could praise.
Atlength, as he helped himself to the salt,
which happened to be Of good quality,
he observed My friends, this is very
excellent salt" Imagine DR.. Franklin all
ways condemned to eat at such q table,
and always as cheerful and contented with
his lot, and We can get some faint idea OF
what stuff Vermont Democrats are made

State Fair.

For sufficient reasons we are unable at
present to give so full report OF Our
State Fair. az we would like to. We
have as vet seen no statement of the a.
wards; when we do we shall give such as
we think our readers will he interested in
hearing.
The grounds, about twenty-five acres,
to the north Of the "old Camp-Ground,"
were put in as good shape for such an cx-
hibition as could be desired, with the ex-
ception that the stalls for animals and halls
for the reception of fancy and manutac-
tured articles were not sufficiently numer-
ous and capacious for the wants Of the oc-
oasion. OF the Exhibition we can only
speak in general terms. The entries Of
stock were larger than on any other similar
occasion. Horses prepcnderated and, as
usual, attracted the largest amount of
general attention. Doubtless, the Show
at Springfield, Mass. drew off many of the
Arst.cl horses, but as it was in the e1hi-
bition Of feet and valuable horses, it prob
ably excelled any miscellaneous show ever
made before. Wher these were arrayed
in the grand cavalcade and dashed By
like flashing meteors we could readily uu-
derstand why Vermont was the land of
beautiful and fast horses.
There was a fine display of sheep as
usual, and, us usual Addison County led
the van, 1t was easy to see that in this,
her hitherto leading interest, Vermont is
making steady progress.
To US, the point of greatest interest at
this Fair was the marked improvement in
number and quality of neat cattle. There
ia NO installing the fact that the people Of
Vermont are taking hold of this matter in
earnest. There were on exhibition many
animals which lover of good cattle could
look at with pleasure for hours.
We can attempt no description Of the
halls or their contents. Though spaciohs,
they were crammed with articles appro-
pirate to them. and all worthy of careful
attention, but we have not space to speak
especially of any. Agricultural nipple
ments abounded in infinite number pnd
variety.

ing of premiums and trials Of speed. These
were all interesting, especially the trotting
and We regret our inability, at present tc
give a synopsis of the matches that were
made. The track was in excellent order
and assembled thousands watched the
contests with absorbing interest FOL
several hours. Without doubt, this Fail
exceeded any of its predecessors in every
point. The attendance was very large
and we see no room to doubt that il was

"A meeting was held at Ontonagon
on the 25tA ult., composed of delegates
from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
and from those portions of Wisconsin and
Minnesota bordering on Lake Superior,
for NE purpose of considering the pro-
pristy Of tbs formation of Territory out
Of the Lake Superior region of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, preparatory to
the formation of new State. A COM
mittes was appointed to draft an address
to the Legislatures of Michigan, Wiscon-
