their appreciation as the times will per-
NIT and their labors deserve. They rely
upon the Intelligence these classes have
OF the fact that while premiums accrue
to those who enter for competition, the
gains will remain with the city as profits
for every department OF business. They
rely, too, upon the intelligent conception
by the public that this is to be no merely
idle pageant, the pleasure Of an hour,
but 8 great means to sn end, such as can
only be reached by similar competitive
meetings. 1t will be an effort 10 combine
instruction With pleasure, aBdproRt with

anvil, OF the garden and the farm, will
be there for a more intimate examina-

Of the various products, will be present
to make sensible Discrimination between
the merits of exhibitors, and help the

Viewed in this light, we hope this Fair
will be well p~stronised. TIE grounds are
easy Of access by cur city railroads, are
handsomely situated, appropriately laid
out and properly fenced, with ample

We repeat our urgent entreaties that

TEEE CHANGE OF CASDIDATES-
WHAT TIE PAPERS SAY.
The following newspaper extracts were
t~egezraphed from New York on Friday,
the 18th inst:
The World this morning repeats sui
stantially its editorial CT yesterday, adj
vising q change Of candidates. It says:
"The charges against Blair are false,
but as they are believed, the fleet is just
az bad as if they were true. They carry
an imputation that cannot be successfully
| rebutted, aud unless il can be removed
| the November election will result like
tho present one. An event is needed Of
such nature that it cannot be ignored nor
misrepfesented. Without such an event
| there will be cure defeat"
Tie Express denouBces the World's
~f2lteriug ccurSs, and says that change of
'front.' when advancing on the enemy, is
o of the most p~efilous Of tactics, MILL
tary or political. II calls for the earnest
Workon the part of the Democracy, and
says whoever despairs OF the State or
Republic whiis there is opportunity to
vote sgsinst the misgovernmept which
has cursed cur country for 3 few years
past, is 70. true to himself, his principles
or his duties"
The Post advises the Democracy TO
drop Seymour and Blair, and go ulani.
mously for Grant and Colfax and Rspub-
llcan principles.
The Posts Washington special says
that there is no doubt that the PROPOSE /
ton to put a new Democratic ticket in
the field is received with favor by the |
President. Gen. Hancock says the de-
fest Of the party is now certain, what
ever il may do. Gen. R0sencrans SAYS
it is too late for . change Of front that
the party has fallen ir~retrievahIy into the
hands Of rebels, and must suffer the con-
sequences.
The Sun, IN an editorial for tomorrow,
suggests that the panic among the Dem
OcrAts is like that of the national army
at Bull Run "The sentiment Of danger
