ears EVENING"
Why long to visit lands remote,
Whose beauties charm the eye
Where could we find faircr spot
Beneath clearer SKYE
Aye here's place to live and die,
Without wish to roam;
Our natal spot, long good bye,
We've found another home.
Then chserily we'll raise the cry,
We never wish to roam,
For there's no place like Wisc main,
Oar wild Wisconsin home!
And truly at no distant day,
Our home was wild and drear;
Tho grey wolf huAtsd for his prey
Among the a2tlered deer.
And troops Of painted Indians here,
With steSlthy steps have come
To scalp the hardy pioneer,
And spoil his forest home;
But now wc feel no danger near,
For better days have come,
And there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home
The painless woods have disappeared,
The praires wave with green;
And sounds of industry are heard
Throughout our wide domain
Now taste and wealth united reign,
Religion wears her dome:
While busy commerce flows amain,
And learning finds home;
Then raise again the blythe refrain,
Loud ring the welkin domo,
Oh, there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin homo!
The far, far West at length has ceased
To have distant sound
Her hardy sons, the teeming East
Sends forth to till our ground.
And wandering pilgrims here abound,
Who've crossed the oceans foam,
And found within our ample bounds
Apeaceful, happy home.
Their songs resound, home we've found
Across the oceans foam,
Oh, there is no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home!
Upon our chosen fsvorite State
Our warmest blessing rest;
Still rich and prosperous be her fate,
The Belle of all the West.
Betide what may We love her best,
Nor ever sick to roam,
And in her broad and fertile breast
Wen find our final home.
SO here well rest, here end our quest.
No more wen seek to roam,
For there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home!

lloyd Es. Douglas.

To TIE EDITOR OF TUE ALLEGHASIAN.-I am
under an obligation to the editor Of the
N0gHtatnSeT, for referring me and his readers
to Judge Douglas, in answer 10 my request
to know what Is meant by that clause in the
Constitution, If it does not give Congress
power 10 prohibit the extension Of Slavery
INTO territories. VIZ: Congress shall have
power TO dispose of, and make all ueedTuI
rules and regulations respecting the territor-
les" But l wish to inform Judge Douglas
that the above clause, together with Art. lst
Sec. 9Th, IN the Constitution, (putting an end
to the importation of slaves after y D..
lSC5,j were Inserted in the Constitution when
the slavery agitation was in its fullest HEIGHT
IN 1857 To keep the Union from bursting
they had to make compromise. In this
compromise IL was agreed that such of the
then existing States, that wished TO retain
their slaves, might DO so; and continue their
importation If they saw proper until 1908
reseryiug to Congress the right of imposing
$40 head, as a duty. After 1908, it was
left to the option of Congress as to whether
the importation should be further permitted or
not. But we ind that Congress did enact
severe laws against their Importation By
this compromise Ii is plain, that, in 1857 the
then existing States that wished to retain their
slaves might do so. And further, it is plain
that, to put an end to this perplexed coutro-
yerSy about slavery, the above clause concern
ing territories, was inserted in the ConStitu-
ton, so that Congress might put a stop to the
extension of slavery, if il should see proper
There IS no must in this clause; no more than
III the clause which places it in the power of
congress 70 prohibit the importation of slaves.
Suppose Congress had refused to enact a law
TO prohibit the importation of slaves; would
1t not be acting agreeably to the power dele
gated to it by the Constitution. in the com
promise? Most certainly it would. Now /
contend according to the above clause. that
the Constitution has delegated 10 Congress.
the same power to put a stop to the extension
OF slavery into territories, as it did to put
stop to slave Importation.
All l ask Is, let Congress have the power
delegated to it, and if it would then refuse to
put stop to the extension OF slavery. II
would be still acting agreeabIy TO the power
delegated to it by the Constitution.
In conclusion, l would ask Judge Douglas
If he thinks, that the trainers of the Consti-
ton, (when trying to settle the dispute about
slavery,) were so short-sighted, that they
could not see far enough, when they put the
said clause in the Constitution to give Con-
gress the power TO put a stop to the extension
of slavery into the territories as well as they
gave it the power to put stop to their i'm
portation in Art Ist, See. 9th? Does the
Judge really think that they only meant to
give Congress the power to sell old muskets.

The Fair.

Before another number of The AN.gha-
nia, Is issued, the Agricultural Fair will
be upon US. From present indications, it
Will be grand affair, far outstripping any
of its predecessors. Johnstown, and the
South generally, we are informed, will be
well represented. Quite number of the
fast horses from that region will be enter
ed for premiums. 1t gives Us much pleas
ure to announce this fact, and we know it
will be highly gratifying to all of our read
ers who are favorable to these annual ex-
hibitions. We doubt not that the COM
petition in this line viii be such as to give
a new impulse to the stock-breeders Of our
Mountain County.
We have ever been the advocates of
Agricultural Fairs, and would gladly do
anything or say anything in our power,
which might tend in the least to their pro-
motion. We had intended, therefore, to
try to say something in this number of our
paper, in regard to the influence which
they exert, and the practical benefits and
advantages which result from them For
tunately, however, we have been saved
the disagreeable task of boring ourselves
and our readers in the attempt. We have
happened upon a few remarks once made
by the lamented Daniel Webster, practi-
cal farmer, and one of the greatest in the
catalogue of American statesmen These
remarks express our ideas so much better
than we can do ourselves, that We subioin
them, with this simple request: Let every
body who can possibly do so, come to the
Fair!
BENEFITS OF AGRICULTURAL FAIRs.-The
principle of fassociation-the practice of brine
ing men together bent on the same general
object, pursuing the same general end, unit
ing their intellectual and their physical efforts
to that purpose, is great Improvement in thu
present age. And il has become essential to
the best interests of the farmers of the Com
monwealth, that these annual fairs should be
established, and that they should be univer-
sally attended. From the meeting of men to-
gether who have the same general object. who
wish for Improvements in the same general
pursuits of lite-that they may converse with
one another-that they may compare with
each other their experience, and that they
may keep up constant communication. 1t
Is IN this point of yew-in this greatly prac-
teal point of yiew-that these annual fairs
are of Importance.
Why, gentlemen, every man obtains a verv
great portion Of all that he knows in this
world, by conversation. Conversation-in-
tercourse with other minds-is the general
source of most of our knowledge Books do
something, but every man has not tho oppor-
tunity TO read. 1t is conversation that i'm

on LLOYD's CEMETERY, which read with much
pleasure. and consented TO all was said Co
t"inIy everything about it calls for improve
ment, but the question Is, how are these in
prOFements to be accomplished! Some wears
ago, the congregation Of the Independent
Church Ito whom the Cemetery was donated
made q movement towards raising funds 10
pay for such improvements as were uecessarr
Il was resolved that n surveyor be employe5
to lay out the ground into lots Of equal size;
which was done. It was then resolved tLa:
all persons who were not members Of said
church should pay the sum Of FIVE dollars for
each lot. or one dollar for single grave. in d
pavt Of the Cemetery laid out for that purpose.
The funds so raised were to be appropriated 70
the Improvement Of the Cemetery. II was
further resolved that T. u. Jones should Io0z
after the Cemetery; ; sell the lots; receive the
money; keep an account of the lots sold, the
money received, the expenses laid out, &c
and to account with the church annually
Now, there have been some thirty lots sold 70
persons who are not members of said church;
which lots amount to one hundred and ftt5
douars-oue hundred of which Is not paid i
as yet. We sometimes may forget that We are
indebted TO one another; but persons, who

worthy members, who are never from their
posts. While there are so many younger men
this duty should not so exclusively fall upon
the older heads, not because their presence
is essential, bat because it is the younger men

all be present AZ the very next meeting. and
every succeeding one, to do what in US lies for

For the benefit Of those who were not pres
