TIE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-The liberal pol
icy adopted by the City Council towards the
Agricultural Society, at their session last Tues
day night, in renting the usual annual rent,
has met with decided appreciation among
the people, so far as We can leurn. 1t lisa mat
ter of first class Importance, as Mr.. Pannel very
properly observed in his remarks upon the pc
tition of the Society, that the Society be
strengthened and assisted by the city. If a
wise policy is pursued, there can be no donbt
but what the increased resources of the Society
will enable 1t TO make an ample return to the
city each year, in the way of increased patro=
mage from abroad. IL is not enough that the
Agricultural Society should get through each
year "by the skin of their teeth: they should
be able to accumulate fund, to be expended
from time to time in more extensive prepare
tions in the various branches of their exhibit
ton. Beside, they are liable to serious draw
backs and set backs in the way Of bad weather,
&c. a single bad day may curtaii their receipts
hundreds, of dollars, while series of inclemcnt
days might almost entirely PROSTATE their re-
sources 1t is matter effecting the credit and
good name of Wheeling, that the Fair be al
ways creditable one. 1t should be good one
or there should be none at all. meagre dis
play (worse ttan no attempt at alb makes the
whole thing wear the guise of a catch-penny
fnrce, and MS such, defeats entirely the end of
the Society, as well us derogates from the re-
putation of the city and county. -
We trust, now, that the Council have set so
good an example, that each citizen of the city
and county will liven up to the good work of
getting under way extensive preparations for the
next September Fair. 1t is, generally anticipat-
ed that we will witness then, the finest display,
from abroad, ever yet seen within the Island
enclosure. 3 It remains for us atlornc here, and
nll around in this vicinity, to ncite much en-
thusiasm and'cOmpetition as we can. Let every
man put his. shoulder to the wheel and prepare
something for exhibition.

TuE SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN CONVENTION

TuE SOUTHERN PREsDYTERIAN CONVENTION
What is known as the Southern branch of the
Presbyterian Church, was represented in
Convention at Knoxville, Tenn, the other day.
They there proposef,a declaration Of principles
touching the matter of slavery in its connection
with church government, the prominent articles
in which are the following:
at is claimed that nothing can be made the
basis of discipline in the Presbyterian Chnrch,
which is not specifically referred to in the Con-
stitution of the Church, as crime or hcresy.
AS slayeholding, .or the relation between mas
ter and slave is not referred to in the ConleSr.
sion of Faith either directly or indirectly, as an
offence, it cannot, in itso! considered, in any
case, be made the basis ofdiscipline in the Pres
byterian Church. At the same. time we declare
the right of the Church Courts to take cogni-
zance in their judicial capacity, OF crueltte5
practiccd in this and other relations in life. p.
Inasnuch as SHAREHOLDERS were aGpitted into
the Churches organized by the Apostles, and as
neither Christ nor his Apostles intimated that
the slaveholding relation was sin, although
they lived in the midst Of the institution, and
enioined upon masters to treat their slaves with
kindness, it follows, necessarily, that Church
/ Court that makes slaveholding, in any cnSe, Il
bar to communion, is uSurping authority that
belongs only to the Great Head of the Church.
On this basis this body is to be organized
We learn that this declaration has been adopt
cd by the Presbytery.
A proposition was made to unite this sece-
ding body with the old school body, To this
end they set forth the points on which both
agree as follows: -. ~.
''Both bodies agree that it is consistent with
the requirements of the Westminster Confess
ion of Faith to receive said Confession accord
ing to adopting act of 1929, to wit: as contain,
ing all the essential truths of Christianity, and
also the doctrines that distinguish the Calvanis
tic from the Pclagfan, Socininn and Arrninian
systems of theology. We agree, likewise, in
believing that this system of doctrine includes
the following truths-namely, the Irinity-the
Incarnation and Deity of Ohrist--the Fall and
Faith--Personal Northumberland Calling
Perseverance, of the Saints the Eternal Happi
ness of the Righteous-and Eternal Punishment
of the wicked"

CELEBRATION OF HESRY CLAWS BIRTH DAY
Philadelphia correspondent of the New York
Tribune, under date of the 18th, writes as fol-
lows:
Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth
of Henry Clay. Nowhere had he more enthu-
siactc friends than here, and nowhere is the
memory Of his great life and splendid public
achievements treasured up with more affection
ate remembrance. This city chung to him with
an ardor that surpassed all mere friendspip-it
was love itself As we gloried in his triumphs,
so we wept at his defeats. We can never forget
him It was natural, then, that some of US
should assemble on the anniversary of his birth
to to do honor to his memory, to brighten the
chain of ancient friendship, to renew our adhe-
sion to the great principles Of his life, and
testify our adherence of the dogmas which his
successors in high places have sought to engrnft.
upon the National policy. We met, last even
ing, and in spite of muddy streets and q misera-
bly, discouraging rain, the National Hall was
crowded with an intelligent and warm hearted
audience. No speakers came fTU w Nl.iEt,'''
because they could not be spared where voters
are so much needed. But when the names of
good men and true in that body were referred
10 by those who did speak, the tokens of APP
probation were lond and long. The name of
Crittenden was welcomed by enthusiastic shouts
of applause, When Clay was mentioned, the
widest fervor of the old Wing fire was mani
tested. Kentucky's Second grent som might
well feel hattcred by such a reception from such
q meeting Altogetheri it was n most gratifying
demonstration, and the spirit shown gives prom.

Tue SCRxNbLE FOR THE New NATIONAL Fork
DRY.-The seven cities that claimed the honor of
having given birth to Homer, are Optnumhered
by the cities that claim the new National Foun-
dry. All OF them found their claims on having
respectively the best coal, the finest iron, the
most skiilful mechanics, the cheapest land, the
greatest facilities for shipment, and the hest geo
graphical advantages which IS doubtless true
in every case. Richmond, Wheeling, Alexhh-
dria, Cumberland Maryland, Washington, and
score of other places are scrambIing for The prize
None Of them will get it. The United States
are not yet quite prepared to let the South set
upin business for herseh-N. Y. Post.
As the Post, we believe, cannot be suspected
for having any very confidential relation or in
terconrse .withthe authorities at Washington
its conclusion that uone oftlc above named CT
ties will get the Foundry, must pass for mere
extra;judicial guess.
The very fact that We occupy the positionwe
do, on the extreme border Of a Northern-South-
ern SaycStatc, ought to make largely in our IA
. vor, rather thnn against us. We have here con-
verging three States-tmee Of the most infiu
cntial and important tatesin the Union: the one
the representative of the power of the Great
West the other an embodiment Of the COmbin-
ed wealth of agriculture, manufacture and com
merce in the Middle and Eastern States: and be-
Nile, the projection Of the leading State of the
South. We have the characteristics of tile three
great sections, blended hero on this common
ground Both in the light of what might, be
called moral position as we'll as geographical, We
present claims to the Government such as no
other city can. At Washington, we cannot be
looked upon as Southern city-nt least, not by
the intelligent parties who will have the settle
ment of the matter: nor can we, or will we be
regarded ms Northern city: because we are
neither, although We are much moro of the lat
ter than we arc of the former. There is no site
in the country that can come before the powers
Mt Washington, less objectionable to all of the
sectional pretudices of the country. We can
come before them as city and community who
follow the flag and keep step to the music ofthe
Union"-who ignore sectional ultraism-and
who win never permit the trust which may be
conided to US, to be used for the benefit of ul-
trpism-come from what quarter it may.

''LECoMPToN IS EEJEcTEp!" was sung out,

Kansas is played QUIZ

The New York Times has an article
which contradicts the Republican "stum
pcrs' who are telling their followers that
they must vote at this election with Kan
sas in their eye. We quote:
"Kansas is played out. No political
movements outside her own borders can
materially affect her future condition.
She will be admitted upon her first as
king. x x x x =
AS Il political issue, therefore, the Kan
sas question belongs to the past. In its
nature it was temporary. Time and e.
vents have settled it. The destiny OF
Kansas is fixed, and although the Re-
publicans may rejoice over the result as
according to their wishes, they cannot
claim to have produced it. x =
Indeed it is questionable whether all the
political strife which has tt ken place
over Kansas has had any appreciable eff;
feet. She is NJ lde free by the free pop
ulation which poured in from the North,
and in some measure from the South al
so. No efforts of parties or politicians
could materially hasten or hinder the
