that Burns has taken 20 noble place ia the
history Of literature.
Burns was democrat 10 the purest and
highest sense Of the word. lie was not q
democrat who would lower the aristOcracy,
but democrat who would exalt the people
by their virtues. lie taught the humblezt
that the penny iee " OF hoOeAt industry
was greater treasure than tens OF thou
sands il gained by the spacious knaveries Of
trsde, extorted by unfair means from the
public creduity, or wrung from the sipews
Of the poor by grinding Of their faees
Burns was no ieveller, but an exalter. His
great song, a mans q man" is the key.
note OF his fame, and has done more for the
elevation OF the multitude than oil the poems,
books or articles ever written in the Ian
gaage. II is ior this great and leading cha
rActeristic OF Robert Burns, that the people
have resolved to do him honor. II is for
this reason that the true aristocracy are as
enthusiastic in the cause u men OF inferior
station, and it is for this reason that the
Jubilee Of the 25th Of January next will be
both 10 the British Isles and in America.
and possibly in Australia and in every colo

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
The display Of Agricultural Implements is quite
extensive, particularly in reapers, which embrace
nearly all those patented There are two patent
selt-raking machines, which attract general atten-
Il n. Messrs. Ray & Co., Of Baltimore, exhibit
their celebrated National Harvesters. which stand
very high in this section of the country where a
large number are in use. Their principal recon-
mendatlon is the simplicity of their machinery
strength and durability, and non-abi,ity to get
out of order.
McCormicks machine is also here, and, of course
has numerous friends, and many deem it the best
machine, as it is one of the oldest patents
1oung's selfraker is rather complicated in ma
chinery, although their exhibitor claims that it is
not more liable to get out of order than any other
A number of patent corn shelters and crushers are
exhibited, none of which, however, show any new
principle. A large variety of plOughs are on the
ground each patentee claiming superiority for his
invention.
In the ladies department there are over 900 diff
1erent articles on exhibition, among which are ex
cellent wines, &c. The display of elies preserves
cordials and fruit buffers surpasses anything Of
the kind which has ever been exhibited at the Ma
ryland State Fair Bread, Cakes and pastry are in
abundance, of excellent quality. This department
is one of the most attractive of the exhibition.
POLICE ARRANGEMENTS.
The police arrangements are under the direction
and control of Mr.. John Bender, an old officer of
Frederick, and is able and very efficient Several
parties have been arrested as gamblers pick-pock-
cts, and pedlars without license. They are conf
ned in the city Jail. Among the arrests is Joshua
Mulley of Baltimore city.
ACCIDENT
This morning boy fourteen years of age, son of
VIM. G. Cole, Esq, Mayor of the city, had two of
the fingers of his right hand cut off by piece of
machinery on exhibition. He was engaged at the
time in assisting to turn the wheels of the machine
The wound was promptly dressed by physician on
the ground
