FREEDMEN's FAIR-The Committee ap-
pointed from the several Parishes In this city
to make arrangements for the Freedmen's Fair
met at the Aldermen's Room and organized by
the appointment of Deacon Samuel w. LARA
bee, Chairman, and A. E. Stevens, Esq, Secre-
tary. After considerable discussion, it was de-
cided to open the Fair on Monday the 26th of
February and continue one week. 1t was also
decided that, as far as possible, the Committee
should make personal application to our citi-
zeps for contributions of ornamental, useful
and fancy articles, and that circulars be sent
into the country for similar purposes. An Ex-
ecutive Committee, charged with the duty of
making the necessary arrangements, was
chosen, consisting of the following ladies and
gentlemen: Miss Harriet Howe, Mrs. Fl. N.
Jose, Mrs. Charles Holden, Mrs. f. o. Libby,
Mrs. L. d. Shepley, and Messrs. Alfred Wood
man, F. E. Pray, J. Fl. Perley, N. A. Foster
and Hon. Jacob Mcclellan.
Ii the zeal and energy manifested by the
Committee is seconded, as we have no doubt
it will be, by our citizens generally, then we
predict that this Fair will prove one of the
most successful ever held in the State. rs1

This sovereign remedy is compounded from the IA
vorits recipe of on lusrious Physician and Chemist
who for many years used it with the most complete
success In his extensive practice. 80 n
He had long been profoundly impressed with the
wonderful virtue Of the honey of the plant Hore-
hound, in union with the CLEANSING and HEAL
ING properties Of Tar extracted from the lie prinei-
pc Of the forest tree Abies Bolsansea or Balm OF
Gilead. FOR years he was bafhed in his attempts to-
blend these CREST medicinal forces into such
union that the original power Of each would be pre-
served the dsaFeeable qualities of common tar re-
moved, and the price Of tho compound be within the
means AN. At last, after long course Of difficult
chemical experiments, he found that by adding to
these tve other Ingredients each valuable by it
self, he net only obtained the desired results but
greatly increased the curative power of the COM
pound This having been thoroughly tested by prac-
tce is now oissrsd to the general public as safe
pleasant and inAllibls remedy.

The Presidents speech in Europe.


The English papers praise in the
strongest terms the Presidents speech
delivered on WaShington's birthday.
That speech has put before the world
the tTuc. clear VicWOf the state of par
ties here, and has eNt0rted, for he lead
cr of the people, expressions OF the
most earnest admiration from quar-
ters hitherto content to CaVil and Sneer
az all that originates on this SIDE the
Atlantic. The speech that the radl-
Gals denounced a. horrible, vulgar, un-
fortunate and outrageous; that some
of the Presidents friends even We're
inclined to excuse and explain, and that
the Haraid declared TO be greater and
finer than anything in Demosthenes,
receives from Europe the highest pos
Siblc need Of praise for its energetic
simplicity, and for it, sentiments-dc-
cIared to bc mot unworthy the great
founder of the American Republic.
'Such a Speech says the London
Times, tha~ not often been heard in
America-a speech entirely free from
taWdry ornament or ambitious meta
phor. but conveying the tiTmest deter
minati0n and the most enlightened
principles in the plainest and simplest
language And the same paper says
in another article :-'"Ihcre = q stamp
of reality and proud self-contidence
in this appeal to the sovereign people
which OblitCrate- thecftcct OF SOnHe in
discreet expressions; and makes Us feel
that Mr.. johnson is equal to guiding
the destinies of a great nation through
pcrilOuS crisis.
No hereditary monarch, nor even an
elective emperor, inheriting the tradl-
tiOns and administrative system Of an
hereditary monarch, can ever be pIa-
ced in the same position a. President

princes born in the purple would be

johnson, it Is said, If any man ever
did, occupies nObly and WOrthity a
great historic position. The destinies
Of millions Of the human race depend
upon him, and he rises fully 70 the
height Of the occasion. Men whose
nerves are shaken by the holiday poll
ties of such a cOuntryas ours will stand
aghast at the audacity with which
President Johnson C0nfrOntS his adj
versaries." Such is the European YER
dict, and thec0untry may thus see that,
viewed from proper distance-a dis
tauce that enables one to take in its
full proportions and relations to the
state of this country-the Presidents
speech is not less great and statesman
like than we declared it to be from the
first J HerUld.

In conversation, a few days ago,
with friend from Harrisburg, we re-
ceived the gratifying information that
the name Of HESTER CLYMER
was a powerful auxiliary 10 the De-
mocracy Of that city, in carrying their
late election. No one, indeed, can YiS-

fact that the citizens OF that city gen

CLYMER in the highest esteem, and
look up to him with thatrespect which
an irreprOachab!e character ever com
mands. They were almost unanimous
in desiring his nomination for Cover

that those who do not publicly advo-
cate his election, nope for il at heart.
In illustration Of this strong feeling in
his favor. the editor OF the Erie Cb-
