The State Far.

The twentieth Annual Fair of the Yer
mont State Agricultural Society and Wool
Growers Association will be held at
Burlington, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, September 18th, 14th,
18th and 16. The annual address will
be delivered from the stand Thursday
forenoon, September 18th The pre-
miums in most classes have been largely
increased, especially on horses and cattle
and it is expected that there will be
the largest collection Of this stock ever
exhibited in the State With the increas.
cd premiums, in connection with the ear
nest efforts of the managers to make the
exhibition attractive, it is hoped that the
Twentieth Annual Fair will be the best
that has yet been held in this State.
On Thursday, September 18th, after
the delivery of the Annual Address, a
Stock Exchange and Auction Sale of the
pure blood cattle will take place, under
the supervision ofthe Society. The stock
offered will be a selection from some of
the best pure blood stock in Vermont
Parties desiring to offer pure blood stock
for sale will be pleased to address the
Secretary Of the Society with list of the
animals they desire to offer. This will
afford rare opportunity for persons wish
ing TO secure the best stock from celebra-
ted breeders.
Arrangements are in progress, and it is
expected that the Rutland, Vermont
Valley, Vermont and Canada, Vermont
Central, Sullivan, Harlem Extension. and
Passumpsic railroads, also the Champlain
Transportation Company boats and the
Oaks Ames, on Lake Champlain, will car
ry persons attending the Fair for fare one
way, and also transport articles and ami
mails free that are returned TO the place
from whence they were shipped
Music will be furnished by the Jericho
Gornet Band. The expected presence of
President Grant during the Fair will no
doubt add largely to the number in aiten-
dance, as every one will be anxious to
behold the Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton. We can confidently expect to hear
an annual address from the best speaking
talent in the country, and there seems to
be no reason why the State Fair this fall
should not be made a distinguished sue.

The War.

Thejournals of Metz have published Mar.
shall McMahon's report to the Emperor
The report says that the enemy,in great
ly superior numbers, began the attack al
I o'clock on Saturday morning, the first
attack having been repulsed about nOon
In the evening they reopeued the contest
throwing forward numerous sharpshooter'
protected by six guns in q commanding
position. Masses of infantry were Their
brought up and at 4 O'Clock in the after
noon Mcmahon was forced to order Q
retreat, which was effected in good order,
the enemy's pursuit being without vigol
and by no means troublesome. The
Marshal was able to send only a par
tial list of the killed and wounded. A
dispatch from Metz, dated Aug IL
Sis p m says: 1t has rained al
day. The army is conferred aronnd thi
place and is being recruited and rein
forced, The retreat of McMahon anc
Failly has been accomplished in excel
lent order. Marshal Bazaine is en-
gagged in visiting and inspecting the
troops under his command.
From the best information it appear
that the GARRISON of Strasbourg consists o
only one regiment Of foot aud a small
force of the National Guard. The sup
plies in the place are in proportion t'
the garrison. A seige is, therefore, i'm
possible. and the capture of the place
will probably be an easy matter.

evidently feels alarmed at the lukewnrmI
ness of his professed friends throughout
the District, notwithstanding there has
been quoting notice going the rounds of
the Vermont papers, originally started in
Washington paper. stating " that the
opposition to Mr.. Willard in his district
is all dying out"
The truth is, that Washington editor
knew as little about the feeling in this
district as he does about district in our
north-polc possessions. Had he known
what is apparent TO every one who watch
es the political atmosphere here he would
never have made the above assertion. No
sooner had Mr.. Willard commenced to
exhibit himself before his constituents
than the people began to show feelings of
disappointment at his want Of ability to
fill the places so ably filed by Slade, a
Meacham, a Walton, and lastly by a
Woodbridge. Some of his strong friends
would say, II am greatly disappointed,
but shall wait, may be he will grow to
it." They have now given that idea up,
and think he has has gone to seed early.
Wherever he has attempted to speak, one
universal voice of disappointment rises
and has spread itself all over the district;
so that if au unbiased vote should be ia.

against him. Another reason is, he j:

New HAVEN, Aug. l3, 1870.

M. Editor: An article, well nigh or
quite amounting to scurrility, and defa-
matory of our present representative in
Congress, appeared in your last issue.
The object of that communication is to
secure the nomination of another person
at the District Congressional Convention,
and perhaps that kind ofpolitical manip-
ulation may accomplish such object But
I fully believe that the nomination of any
other man than Mr.. Willard will not be
in accordance with the wishes of major.
ity of the people.
Whatever may be said Of certain things
Mr.. Willard has good, brilliant rec
ord, and is a man of superior capabilities
and untarnished morals He ought by
no means to DO dropped for one less wor
thy, however worthy such one may be.
The desire to supersede the present in
cumbent results, doubtless, from dssatis
faction that some other one is not pro
NOTED. or some particular section is mo-
served, rather than from any want Of fit
ness in Mr.. Willard. His nomination
two years ago was decidedly fortunate
His congressional career renders him de
serving of denomination and reelection
and the people, think, will look to tn
latter if the convention does not the for

Split Tickets.

An alluslon, III the Nermnntcr OF last
week, to split tickets implies more
than a possibility of their existence, even
before the appearance of the regular
tickets. With the knowledge the Yer
INDEPENDENTLY has Of an effort to defeat
regular nominations, and its former record
on this subject, VIC are surprised at the
"mildness' with which its remarks are
drawn Several questions have been
asked us which we could not answer, and
unexpectedly submit them verbatim, to the
Vermonter " If such plan is first
known at Vergennes, docs it originate
there p "lf so, is it the work of disap-
pointed candidates, or ambitious aspir-
ants o. " Is it connected with the fact
that the Democrats have selected two
candidates from the Republican ranks ?"
as il not due to the party that those
nominees should define their position, in
asmuch as doubts are expressed of the
propriety of supporting for another Office
one who allows himself to be used to the
injury of the Republican party?"
We know nothing Of splits, actual or
contemplated, in orr county nominations.
But the appearance Of split tickets about
this time of the year is not an unhcard of
occurrence All voters should be on the
lookout for them They should never
vote blindly IT is their duty TO inquire
rhy the name Of II regular nominee is
omitted and another inserted in its place.
The very appearance Of such name on
the ticket, without explanation, is prin,o
tacjc evidence Of dishonesty of purpose
There may be reasons for boiling the
regular nominee, which are sufficient tc
justify it. But personal preferences arc
not sufficient reasons. tnftncss for the
position, physically, mentally, morally OF
politically, is perhaps, the only justiflblc
ground for going back upon nomination
made with our consent, by primary
meeting regularly called and properly
conducted. Staying away from conven
ton, under our present political status, i:
an acquiesccncc in its proceedings Ac
1uiescence in the proceedings of n caucu,
is in itself an expression of approval. Ap
