Union of the Opposition.

The New York Tribune and other Op-
position papers, are preparing the way
for union of all the Opposition elements
in the next Presidential canvass. Of
late the Tribute has published several ar
ticles in high commendation of Judge
BATES, of Missouri, and we understand
that BLAIR, of that State, vouches for him
as being all right "worthy and well quail
fed," "of lawful age" and correct princi
piles, which will entitle him to pass into
all the orders of Republicanism. But
the question may arise, what shall be
done with Seward 1t will be hard
work to induce his friends to give way;
they will compromise in no other way, in
our opinion, than by giving BATES the
second place on the ticket. This of course
will cause a stampede in the Southern
wing of the party. Place them as you
will, trot out whom they please, and there
is o union. Like the wild animals let
loose together, they will worry and devour
each other.
The Philadelphia North American
catches up the idea from the N. Y. Tri-
bune, and says
at is only by cooperation, concessions
and the forbearance of impracticable
ideas, that success can be assured. To
achieve it the Opposition must unite and
sink those differences of opinion aohich are
from education and conviction, irreconcl-
able Similar differences existed when
the Constitution IVES formed, and yet
they were harmonized and subordlnated
to attain the great good of more per-
feet Union"
That's it The NORTH must give up its
squeamishness about the "traffic in hu-
man flesh," "saye trade" "slave code" !"
&C. and the South yield its scruples
about u G.. r. r. Abolitionism, &c !,
and all consider the Constitution as a
'league with the nevil, and covenant
with He'll GIDDINGs and YANCY strike
hands-SPAULDING kiss JEFF. DAVIS
CHASE make love to SLIDELL- the Tri-
bune and Mercury exchange editorials
and, like loving brothers, hang together
until the "U nion Slides" and then he pre-
pared to hang separately.
1t strikes US that the idea is good one.
1t is certainly worth the experiment.

This Ohio River TAINTED

There was much excitement in Cincin-
natl last week, in consequence of the dis
agreeable taste of the hydrant water. A
large number of citizens are said to have
been rendered ill from its effects, and hun
dreds have been compelled to stop using
it. Mr.. Phillips, the superintendent of
water works, with chemist and Others,
carefully examined the works and the Ohio
river for q distance of two miles, on
Thursday last. In his report he says:
We found The same offensive odor and
taste on all the specimens of water exam
ined-taken at the engine house, aG many
points along the shore, out in the current
near the middle of the river, and along
the Kentucky shore. The whole river al
this point it is tainted just as the water
in the hydrants--though I am happy tt
say in much less degree to-day thar
yesterday, and it is the opinion of all the
gentlemen above named that the who'll
difficulty will disappear in few days.

with all its accommodations, ,only few
of which have been mentioned above,
would be sufficient to attract large con-
course of our citizens, But there are many
other attractions. Some of the fastest
and best blooded horses of this and of our
neighboring States will be here.
And the competition of the lady riders
for the gold watch will be splendid
spectacle of skill, grace and beauty.
And now fellow citizens of Monroe
county you all and each of you have an
interest in this fair. Come up to the
fair aud bring with you your wives and
children. Here you will see what will
pay you infinitely more for your time and
money, than any circus or travelling men,
agerie that ever come into the county to
carry away your hard earned money with
out giving you any thing in return.
But do not come as mere spectator
if you can help it. Bring along with
you something to exhibit. No difference
what, or whether you get premium or
not. Bring it along any how. Let your
boy bring his largest and best pumpkin,
beet, squash, turnip, or something else and
your girl, her best loaf of bread, best pick
les, preserves, butter, cheese, needle work
&C., and not the the least by any means

The President of the Society, Mr.. s.
P. JONES, to whose untiring energy we
are indebted for our new fair grounds
and the improvements thereon. has made
the most ample arrangements for the ac-
commodation of everybody, and will be
on hands at all times to see that every
one has fair opportunity to see ali that
is to be seen, and to enjoy themselves to
the utmost. So begin now to fix up and
get ready to come to the fair.

Convention assembled in Cincinnati in
1856, believing that the true policy for
the administration of the affairs of this
government ia therein set forth.
Resolved, That we believe in the capa.
city of the people for self government
whether in States or Territories; and that
any assumption of power by the Congress
of the United States, to legislate for the
domestic affairs of either is clearly an in
fraction of the Constitution.
ResoIued, That the doctrine that Con.
gress has sovereign power over the Terri
tories for their government" as claimed
by the Republican Platform of 1856 is
the same doctrine held by King George
III and the Parliament of Great Britain
in the days of the Revolution, and which
was successfully resisted by our fore.

faithful adherence to all the compacts and

5th. Resolved That we are in favor
of an economical administration of the
affairs of the General and State Cover
ments, and the safe keeping of the public
moneys, and believe that this can only be
done by the faithful carrying out of the
laws establishing the independent treasury
system.
9Th. Resolved, That we are unalter-
ably opposed to the depositing of the
public moneys with banks and brokers'
believing that the vaults of the Treas.
ury are the proper and only safe places
for the same, as has been fully demon-
strated by the defalcations of Breslin and
Gibson.

of the sale of the Public Works of Ohio

OUR NEXT FAIR.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-For many years have
been resident of the county of Monroe,
and can speak from actual experience of
the progress that her citizens have made
in everything tending to improve their
condition, and in nothing is the change
more apparent than in the attention paid
to the various branches of agriculture,
and the disposition manifested by them to
encourage every enterprise, having for its
object, improvement in farming, or in
raising stock.
Who that has lived here thirty-6ve or
forty years, cannot remember the little
patches of cleared land, log houses, shuck
collars, leatherwood back bands, and
shovel plows; when our corn was ground
on hand mills at home, or packed on
horses fifteen or twenty miles to horse
mill? When our churches and school
houses were the most primitive kind of
structures, round logs, puncheon floors.
mud and stick chimneys, and creased
paper for window glass. When our salt
was packed, a bushel at a time-from
McKee's salt works near Caldwell in Mo-
BILE county, and our pots and kettles on
horses over the mountains.
Look back to what we were q few
years ago, AND contrast our present condi-
tion with what it was then, and see If we
have not reason to commend ourselves,
and to thank providence for the wonder
full improvement of our situation.
A few years ago, the friends of improve.
ment in agriculture, organized in this
county, an Agricultural Society and de.
termined to hold annual fairs, at which
the farmers from all parts of the county
could come together and bring with them
such products of their farms. and such
stock as they might deem worthy of atten.
tion, and consult together as to the
best means of improving both. Although
as was to have been expected, some diff
culties had to be encountered, yet it ha,
been successful, and is now in q more
fourishing condition than its most san
guine friends hoped form so short time
A field containing ample space hat
been, during this summer, leased fo1

substantial fence ten feet high. STALL
enough and of the most commodious ant
substantial kind, have been erected on tht
