STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR !
TO THE. PEOPLE or PENNS!A
It will not be forgotten that the State Agri
cultural Society, of Pennsylvania, has fixed
Harrisburg as. the place, and the 23d, 24th
and, 25th of October next, as' the time for their
ANNUAL ExnithiioN.- There is no State in
. the Union Whose climate, sell and the. habits
of *lmo people_afford.more ample resources
than min own for, a creditablO exhibition of
their Skill'and industry. There is nothing
raised;grown or manufactured-upon the face .
of- the earth; whidh is not more or less inter-,
esting, in the study and science of Agriculture:
The Farmer ; the.Hoiticulturalist, the Inven
tor, the Mechanic, are all cordially and ear
nestly invited to contribute and partake in the
interest whioh•wlll be excited by the occasion; '
and-especially do we invite the aid, 'eounte ,
nonce and presence of 'onrniothers and diugh
tem; upon whose handy-Work and good exam
ple We are so dePondent.for, all the - domestic
comforts .of , life.
Arrangements are now being made for en
chising- the grounds, and providing separate
anirsafo places fOr all animals and articles,
which shall be presented: for .olthibition. All
the canals, and rail-ways of the State will be
open free of charge for thoir transportation•to
Harrisburg; and visitors will coma and go' on
them at one half theusual rates.
The young men of the State are 'reminded
thatithe_V.Lotrannta .kikron _will_ afford'. them
an , opportunity for the cliSplay df their skill,
the training of their teems and the fitness of
their iniplements: • - •
While wnaddress this communication to the
people.of,mut State, it-will-not be-understood
that it is designed to exclude . the Citizens of o
ther States; much less to avoid the honorable*
competition which their contributions may af
ford. Now is the time to prepare,. By three

tlerOur facetious neighbor of the Democrat
is inclined to be witty at the expened of our
opinion in regard to the availability of Gen.

He has advanced some heavy wagers on his
favorite "do gray" (Gen. Case); but we'll
"plank" 3 ldur . pile on "do long-tailed horse,d .
.(Gen. Scott,) where we're sure to win. And
believing as we do, with thereat of his friends,
that his chances aro indeed "some," we don't

on "do long-tailed horse" against your three
pretzels and a ginger on "do gray." We'll
bo gornirous, neighbor, and match our horse
against any one you can bring on the course,

JAMES BUCHANAN AND BIOLER.
The friends of Buchanan deny that ho ever
said the wages of labor . ought to bo reduced to
ten cents per. diem. Buchanan made a speech
in the Senate in 1889-='4o. He contended that
to enable this country to compote with other
countries, the prices of labor here should be
reduced to their standard, and it would cover
the land With benefits and blessings. Ho gave
a list of the prices of labor in 'various parts of
Europe, such as England, France and Herrn
ny.These were equal to 10,.12i, and 14 dents
per doy, Amerioan_ moneyt—BuChanan- nt
that time, *as receiving 8 dollars a (layer the
people's money. He has received from the
Public Treasury some $BO,OOO, and yet this
Looofoco leader, this.confiderttial friend' of Mr.
Bigler, proposed to reduce the wages of the
mon who made him what he is, to ten, and
twelve and a half cents per diem!

from it amounted to $103,295 07—a largeln
crease over 1848 and, a cleanse from 1849, for
part of which decrease a certain officer. in
Philadelphia, belonging to the opposition, can
easily . account. During_Gov._,Shunk's _fonr
years, thwreccipts from_the_Gollateral
tones amounted to $177,221 02. During Gov.
Johnston's two years, they. amounted to $293,-

" The whole investigation sums up thus:-
06v. Sohnston directed tho attention of the
Legislature,to a rovision,of the Tax. laws and
to the establishment of a sinking fund by the,
imposition of ,n tax upon objeets which could
bear it; such as premiums en charter's, &0.,
&c. Certain of the tax laws were reyised
and the tax has boon' more generally collected.
The Sinking Fund which Treasurer - Bickel has,
warmly approved, was created and is still in
active operation, DOINU DIIIOII TO nsr.ravr. TICE
STATE. Tho.Sttto debt has been reduced more
than lIALF A MILLION OF DOLLARS and
there is in the-future -n prospect, should the
Sinking fund not be disturbed, of a still more
rapid-reduction of this legacy of Llcofobo Ad
ministrations!
"This picture of Gov. Johnston's policy, is
in bright contrast with that presented by Lo
cofooo Administrations. Do ,not the people
praer that which informs them that the pub
lic debt is being
. diminished, that the public
credit is again restored and that Pennsylvania,
by her promptness in meeting her, obligations,
has cast from her all imputation of Repudia
tion? If they do not like those results, let
them elect Mr. Bigler, and they will Soonjlear
another song."

BUSINESS TACT AND EPTOICT.—Every busi
:ness demands a.certairt.portion_ of tact and. ef
fort to be conducted in a prosperous and suc
cessful manner. A merchant, wholesale or re
tail, must not expect to increase his sales very
materially, without making any effort. There
are various ways in which this can be done.—
Bat& sales and an increase of trade is the
object. The safest, surest, and cheapest way
tolreach thisimportant desid"ratum, wil;
hesitatingly say, :is a judicious well-directed
system of Advertising. The history of almost
every bueiness house in our large cities, which
has been eminently successful in extending its
trade, clearly proves this. Indeed, it has now
become a truism in the Business World, that
Advertising is the indispensable and efficient means
of securing a liberal shltre of custom in any de
:party:4mi of trade or nanitfactin:es.

ANOTHER LEAH Eir BIGLER'S SHIP.
The Harrisburg Anteriean soya since Gov's,'
'tor Johnston has been in power which is less
three years, there have been received as - fees
in the office of Secretary of State more than
four thousand dollars, or nearly at the rate of
FIFTEEN HUNDRED A YEAR. Every Sec
retary of State is sworn to honesty, to receive
and pay into the State Treasury every dollar
of their fees; under the administration of Gov.
Johnston, this has boon done, and the above
sum gives you the result.
That the people may sec the difference, we
must state one other fact, viz: During the
whole of the fiscal year of 1814, (the Polk and
Dallas'campaign) the administration then in
power DID NOT. PAY into the State Treasury
ONE DOLLAR of Tees fioun the office of the
Secretary of State. Ye honest tax-payers of
Pennsylvania, what becomo'of all the fees col
lected in that year? Who was it collected and
-kept theSe'dollars 'that should have been paid'
into the State Treasury? , Was it not this very
party that now wants ru to give thmn nitath

you do it?'
And to our Demdcratio Federal opponents

we intend not to be 'inquisitive. Wo have' on
