OUR STATE EXHIBITIONS,

We cordially coIumerd to general attention
the following remarks Of th. Yorkvile En-
q"'rer relating to the Fair of the State Acri.
cultural Society, and applicable, also to the
South Carolina Institute Fair, which will be
opened in the Institute Hall of Charleston Oh
the 18th Novembcr.T
The Enquirer enys:
We under obligation TO some one for
| copy of the premium list of the State Agrcu-
tnrni Society which meets in Columbia in No
| vei"ber next The annual address will be de-
| I'veIed by Hon. Joseph a. Woodward. of Fair
field. The Fair will commence on Tuesday,
tho slli and continue three days. The list en-
braces all departments in which our people are
interested; and liberia! premiums are offered
In every instance. 90
Cannot our farmers, mechanics, house cwives,
DC. have place in the pictnrea We certainly
have as many Intelligent practical, thorough
farmers and mechanics any ofour neghbors,
and rs we are an integral part Of the State Of
South Carolina We know Of no good reason why
we should not be represented, and that toe in
ereditable manner. Let every one send some
thing The Indies can exhibit The produce OF
| tie loom, the dairy, the poultry yard. jar Of
lard, bottle of domestic wine preserve, in fact,
almost anything. Everything contributed " i'll
add so much more to the success of the Fair in
more ways than one
The farmer can send specimens Of the pro-
ducts Of the farm and orchard his cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, rye, barley, peas, and even pind-
drJ,
The mechanics is also literally provided for
Let th- cnbiuet maker contribute n bureau or
bookcase. the carriage maker buggy. the "sous
of Crnpin" pair Of boots or shoes, the tanner
fine piece Of leather, the carpenter panel
door or half dozen sashes and blinds; in fact.
every one, if they will, can contribute their
mite. and even if they do not succeed in getting
premiums in every instance they will have
made n praiscworthy effort. which At least,
amounts to something. No doubt liberal nr.
rangements will he made with the railroad com
panes for the transportation of all articles de-
signed for exhibition.
The premium list will be furnished by appli-
cation to The Secretary R: j. Gage ESQ. Fair
Forest, S. &. We would here suggest that t.
would contribute much to the success of the
society to advertise the premium list or portion
OF it in the newspapers Of The State We think
an arrangement could be- effected with all
papers to give the advert isement n few inscr-
tions Mt comparatively small cost Many
persons who would like to compete for the
premiums know nothing about the inducernent
that are offered.

REPLY TO SENATOR DOUGLAS.

We have before US, says the Wash ington
Star, cory of the pamphlet which the Conxti
tuition of Saturday intimates was about to M
pear in reply to the argument Of Judge Doug
las in Harper's Magazine. Logical, courteous
in its tone, but pungent. it will be widely
read Street rumor, we know not with what
reliability, asserts that it is from judge Blacks
pen. -
In conclusion the writer sums up as follows ::
I've insist that an emigrant going into fed.
cral Territory retains his title to the property
which he took with him until there is some
prohibition enacted by lawful authority. Mr..
Douglas cannot deny this in the face Of his
New Orleans speech, and the overwhelming
reasons which support it.
'1t is an agreed point among all Democrats
that Congress cannot interfere with the right
of property in the Territories.
"lt is also acknowledged that the people of
new State, either in their constitution or in
an act Of their legislature. may make the ne
groes within il free or hold them in q state Of
servtude.
I'VE believe more. We believc-in submit
ting to the law as decided by the Suprem
Court, which declares that Territorial Lepis-
iature cannot. any more than Congress, inter
FIRE with the rights Of property in Territory
that the settlers Of Territory are bound to
wait until the sovereign power is conferred
upon them, with proper limitations, before
they attempt to exercise the most dangerous of
all Its functions. Mr. Douglas denies this and
there is the new Issue.
why should such an issue be made at sucb
timef What ia there now to exeuse any
friend OF pence for attempting to stir up the
bitter waters of strifef There is no actual diff
hculty about this subject in any Territory
There IS no question upon it pending before
Congress or the country. We are called upon
10 make a contest, at once unnecessary and
hopeless with the judicial authority of the na-
tion. We object to it We will not obey Mr..
douglass when he commands us to assault the
Supreme Court Of the United States. We he.
''eve the Court to be right and Mr. Douglas
wrong"
Inc writer shows most concusively that the
present position of Dir. Douglas, with refer.
ence to the powers Of Territorial legislatures ia
an after thought. to meet his POLITICAL necessi-.
'|es. IN direct contradiction to his repeated ar
samen.s IN the shape of repoyls from the Sen.
ate's territorial committee, speeches, DC.
whersn he emphatcaIly insists that the peo'
pie in Territories have no political rights what
ever except such as Congress may accord to
snen, also that by the Drsd Scott desision-
winch he nov denies-the right of shareholders
Ito protection id the possession and en;oSment
Of there peculiar description of property in
Territories is assured beyond any possibility of
4 leeal question. In fact, he utterly dsmoiishes
the Douglas Of the hour, with the Douglas be-
fore he thought himself of the policy Of
strengthening the game Of Aboltionism at tie
fespense Of the Democratic party, and the con.
stuuanes Of. .aeUnion. %,-.

BLUE EYES.
FROM THE oERMAN--BY REV. t. c. DRooLs

FROM THE oERMAS---BY REV. I. G. pRooLs.
Blue, eyes are full of danger
Beware their tender glow
They'll leave thy heart stranger
10 peaceful hours belowi
l warn you, men. give earnest heedi
Let not bright eyes your sight mi.lead,
And when blue eyes your glnnces win,
Look not zoo deep-too deep therein!
Blue eyes with soul nre bcaminp,
They'll look thee through and through:
With light Of love they're streaming,
So mild, and warm. and true.
And when my heart is 40 distress.l,
And sorrow fills my lonely breast,
Let, then, blue eyes my sorrow win.-
What JOY, what bliss. see therein :
Blue eyes from heaven are lighted
With holy, soul born glow,
10 cheer poor man benigh,ed.
And charm him out of woe.
And when cold wintry clouds ari.c,
And shroud in gray the sunny skies.
Then lie. blue eyes my glances win
find my sky-my day therein!

DEATH OF Bowen, TIE Horse THIEF.
The Rev" Elijah Bowen, the notorious
horse thief, died in Jail at Frederick, Nd,
on Sunday last He was attended in his
last moments by his daughter, who is
said to be an amiablc and refined young
lady. The deceased, during the last ten
or fifteen years, travelled extensively in
Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
passing himself off as clergy man, and
officiating in different pulpits. In 1851
he was sent to the New Jersey State
prison, for stealing horse. A few
months ago he made his appearance at
Frederick, Nd, where he hired horse
and buggy, with which he started of,
but was overtaken in a neighboring city,
brought back and committed to jail,
where he died. After his arrest several
persons from New Jersey and elsewhere
appeared and identified him as the person
who had stolen horses from them. Bowen
was native Of New Jersey.
